Checking out the game content of Kingdom Hearts 2 from the PS3 compilation work Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX-!
20/6/2014

Here is the information we published on Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX-, one of the titles from Square Enix's PS3 Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- compilation, to be released 2nd October 2014.

~
The release date for Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- has finally been announced for October 2nd. Today we will introduce one of the titles from that compilation: Kingdom Hearts 2.

STORY

One year ago, Sora adventured through the worlds as a hero of the Keyblade. At the end of that journey King Mickey and Riku were left behind the 'Door to Darkness', and the journey will not end until they have brought them back.

On various worlds, a group of powerful Nobodies called Organisation XIII have been closing in. It looks like a new journey for Sora and his friends has already begun…

New features in Kingdom Hearts 2 for PS3!

The base for the HD remake is KH2 Final Mix, the international version of KH2 released in Japan with extra features.

The FM is jam-packed with extra features that even those who already played the original version of KH2 can enjoy. Additions are not limited to cutscenes and a secret movie; you can also battle unique enemies and tough bosses. (And on top of that, there is additional maps, forms, weapons and collectable content.)

Be moved anew by even more beautiful cinematics!

The high resolution in this HD version means, of course, that the textures of the characters and backgrounds have been updated to the newest kind. Meet rich, expressionate characters in even sharper, more beautiful worlds.

From 'English audio, Japanese subs' to 'Japanese audio'!

The voices of the characters, which were in English in Final Mix, have been changed to Japanese. Now you can connect even more deeply with the story.

A new reward for completing the game!

Clear the game, and you can get yourself a PS3 custom theme as a reward!

Trophy support!

Try and get them all!

Update: The official international website for HD 2.5 ReMIX has been updated with all the screenshots above without any Japanese text. You can view them all here, in our gallery.

Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, the upcoming HD collection containing remasters of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, as well as a Theatre Mode of Kingdom Hearts Re:coded cutscenes, releases on October 2, 2014 in Japan, December 2 in North America, December 4 in Australia, and December 5 in Europe.

:0 why did they decide to showcase characters? I thought they didn't do any changes to character models.

    Looks like they've finally decided to take screenshots with some decent camera angles. Some of them are really cool.

    How is Sora in Master Form during the 1,000 heartless battle? Are they finally adding Donald and Goofy into it?

    Remember how they forged 1.5 screenshots? Color me skeptical.

    KH2 looked better with facial expressions anyway. Unless someone can go back and compare from KH2 to see if they changed facial expressions, I'm pretty sure these are close to what we'll see

    I know, but the shot of Sora fighting 1000 heartless in master form already has me thinking that these aren't just straightforward in-game screenshots. I'm only doubting a few of them though.

    Someone already opened a thread about that screenshot yesterday, Square Enix just added end game moves and abilities for testing purposes, that's all xD

    It will look good, but not as good.

     

    They porbably rendered the game on PC at 4K then downsampled to 360p screenshot and applied a photoshop filter (maybe edit a few thigns here and there) . It's not hard.

     

    Final product will look good, but it won't have the perfections these screens have.

    TBF, the antialiasing doesn't look completely perfect to me, and many of these screens are clearly staged, or at least captured with the same camera companies use for promos.
