Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX tops major Japanese retail sales

The Starter Pack containing both Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX and HD 2.5 ReMIX also came in at #9. This is thanks to major Japanese retailer Tsutaya who published it's sales chart. Thanks to DualShockers for the tip. Once we have a number of copies sold we'll let you know.

Even more English data has been found within Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX

With the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX in Japan on October 2, 2014, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of the first English version of the title on December 2 in North America. Previously, we reported on the English trophy names and descriptions had been found in the game code, and that the Theatre Mode in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix had retained the ability to switch between Japanese and English voices.
 
Now, YouTube user crazycatz00 has found, while looking through the game data, that the Japanese version of the game also includes full English text, including text cutscenes and in-game dialog boxes. This text can't be accessed normally, but has been revealed to be stored on the game disc through hacking. Thanks to KH13 user jadentheman, you can watch the video of this being demonstrated below.
 




 
Update: The same YouTube user has uploaded two new videos showing that the cutscenes added in the Final Mix reissues are in fact fully translated with English voicing acting and that Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix is also fully in English. You can also view these videos below.
 








 
Update 2: Thanks to YouTube user Sora6645 we now have a recording of the final cutscene in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, which features the infamous Birth by Sleep -Volume 2- at the end. Now fully in English, you can view it below.

Terra's armor now has a cape at the end of his story in Birth by Sleep

In the original version of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and it's reissue Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, despite original plans for the game, cutscenes with Terra's armor did not feature a cape. This was due to technical difficulties that the Osaka team encountered while developing for the PlayStation Portable.
 
At E3 2014, co-director of the series Tai Yasue originally announced that although they acknowledge that many fans would like to see the capes return, they would not be implementing them due to time constraints-- however, with the game now released in Japan, we now know that this is not exactly the case!
 
A cape has been added to Terra's lingering armor in this cutscene at the end of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix, with the release of Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. This will be consistent with the Lingering Will boss fight in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, where the character had a cape. Unfortunately, capes are still missing during gameplay.
 
You can view a comparison image that shows off the new model with cape included, below.
 

 
Update: Thanks to our partner Everglow we now have a recording of the cutscene in 1080p. You can view it below.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix's Theatre Mode still contains English voice acting in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX's Japanese version

Perhaps surprisingly, Square Enix has left the English voice acting in the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX release of Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix's Theatre Mode. As discovered in a live stream by Twitch user Bizkit047, you can press L2 and it will change the voice language to English for all cutscenes. It will be interesting to see if the Japanese voice acting is included in the English version's.
