    That's cool and all, but a few question do cross my mind

    - Are we talking about full price, or somewhat of a discount? Given the fact these remasters are some years old, we shouldn't be forced into paying full price imo

    how much money does it cost?

    The only pricing info I was able to find was from the Japanese SE announcement post saying 

    1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX and 2.8 will be ¥7,480 --> $47.73 USD

    KH3 + Re Mind for ¥9,680 --> $61.75 USD

    Integrum Masterpiece ¥17,160 --> 109.44 USD

    The actual list price might be a bit different but at least this provides some type of idea, hope that helps!


  2. Square Enix has announced that the Kingdom Hearts series will be arriving on Steam from June 13th, 2024. 

    The games will be available either as separate purchases or as one, single bundle called the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece bundle, which includes the following:

    • Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX
    • Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue 
    • Kingdom Hearts III + ReMind DLC

    Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX will feature textural updates to its graphics and players who purchase Kingdom Hearts III + ReMind DLC or the Kingdom Hearts Integrum Masterpiece will receive a platform exclusive keyblade "Dead of Night", which can be viewed below:

    Additionally, to celebrate the announcement, a trailer will be releasing tomorrow on Youtube featuring Utada Hikaru's Simple & Clean (Re-Recording), which will also be releasing as a single on May 22 at midnight JST. The song's Japanese language counterpart, Hikari (Re-Recording) was previously released in April as part of Utada Hikaru's newly released Science Fiction album.

  4. Unfortnately there's always going to be those few spammers that slip through the cracks and this was one of those cases. None of us were online at the time so couldn't get to it right away. They're banned now, and I preemptively banned some suspected others so it shouldn't happen again. I know it must have been disruptive to the chats, so apologies for that. :<


  5. A newly re-recorded version of Hikari has released on Utada Hikaru's latest album, Science Fiction. The album, which released today features 26 tracks including newly mixed and re-recorded songs from across the singer's discography. Hikari, and its English language counterpart, Simple and Clean, have of course featured prominently as opening and ending themes throughout various games in the Kingdom Hearts series.

    Back in January the tracklist for Science Fiction revealed  Hikari, as one of the many songs on the album receiving a re-recording.

    You can check out Hikari (Re-Recording) on the singer's official YouTube channel below

    In the lead up to Science Fiction's release Utada Hikaru's official YouTube channel was also uploading 4K versions of previous music videos, including those for Hikari and Passion.

     You can also listen to the full Science Fiction album on various music streaming platforms now.
