Well the HUD stuff were mockups in both, that's pretty obvious because nothing changes. As far as the actual things going on, it doesn't look like pre-rendered footage. The E3 video from last year looked may have been pre-rendered, but the second one definitely looks like actual in-engine stuff.

I think it's definitely possible. The releases have been getting closer and closer. Consider: 1.5 was 6 months between japanese version and everywhere else. 2.5 is only 2 months apart. If they begin working on the localization aspect of it while they are still doing the japanese version, there is no reason why it couldn't be released worldwide. All they have to do is record the different voices simultaneously then work on the lip synching simultaneously. Totally possible.

Both the videos that have been released are showing in-engine gameplay. (they are still early versions though)

13 has been a part of kingdom hearts since the first game... It had 13 worlds. so did re: com, and kh2, and bbs... Then they added the 7 part of it with 358/2 days, re:coded, and 3D... It has nothing to do with FF13

Check out the pants in the first picture. haha they all come to the same point.

For those waiting for a limited edition, most websites will automatically upgrade you to the limited edition. It happened with 1.5 for me last year through amazon.

I don't trust anything Phil Spencer says. Just a few months ago, the Kinect was a vital part of Xbox One. Until Square Enix gives us a release date, I don't believe anything anyone says.

3D is not hd, but it is higher than SD, it is higher quality than PS2. It looks nice on the 3DS screen, but on a large screen it looks terrible.

KH 3d is all dreaming... And they do run into characters... None of the games have npc's outside of the "non-fighting" areas.

wow those are so cool!

Whoever voted for "little to no interest in this title" should be kicked off the site

I think that when Sora became a heartless, Ventus' heart attached to Sora's nobody, Roxas. Then when Roxas went back to Sora, Ventus' heart came back in. This would explain why Roxas looks like Ventus, not Sora. Considering all the other powerful nobodies (except Namine) look just like their Organization counterparts.

I doubt there will be a final mix version. I do think an HD remaster will happen though. I mean, HD 3D scenes were shown right before the KH3 teaser at the end of the 2.5 trailer. I could dig that

I was disappointed that there was nothing on the potential pre-order bonuses (though I'm sure it will come), but I was also disappointed that they didn't answer my question of whether they put the capes in BBS. I won't mind if they don't, but I have a feeling they may have! Has anyone else noticed that it has not once shown a scene where they characters are in their armor?? Not including the fight against Terra's armor in KH2, or Aqua's armor in the scene with Xemnas. But really look at all the BBS stuff they've shown in the 2.5 trailers and demos. No armor scenes at all... interesting, right?? You aren't the only one wondering this... Thats the worst part about the trophies in 1.5, and it will be even worse in BBS since there are 4 difficulties and 3 characters, plus the final episode. That's 12 full playthroughs and 4 playthroughs of the ending (if those are required)... haha. plus 4 playthroughs (minimum of KH2. Thankfully those games are not nearly as hard to replay as re:com is! That one just wears you down...

Zelda Wii U without a doubt. Xenoblade Chronicles X is a close second though.

OPEN WORLD

Honestly I disagree with everyone saying the original looked better... I feel like there is much more clarity in the image in the 2.5 version. Also, I feel that the colors are more accurate as well. The original looks a little over saturated, especially when upscaled through PCSX2

I posted them one post above this. Enjoy

Here they are. These were the ones easiest to screenshot. The other ones flashed by too quickly or were awkward half-screen images.

Awesome. Yeah I know you had the one with Sora in his Red outfit from KH3D. I was gonna put a couple more up to make the other guy happy.

Hey how do you upload the pictures... I have the pictures for comparison. It's definitely an HD version of the KH3D scenes.

Give me 5 minutes. I'll do the best comparisons I can

dude it's not photoshopped. Go watch the full 2.5 trailer with the KH3 teaser. Prior to the teaser, there are a few flashing scenes: Sora in Notre Dame, Young Xehanort with Vanitas, Old Xehanort in his chair in the Organization XIII room. The old xehanort one is the one from the final cutscene sequence of the game. This is totally real.

well there are 6 months until the game comes out... and they already have a lot of the english parts of it done. very good chance they haven't done the new music yet. it was the last thing they did for 1.5.

Yeah I pointed this out in the first thread on the KH2.5 trailer. It shows just a couple flashing screenshots of KH3D. There will be no KH3 news at E3, or FF15. KH3 isn't coming out until after FF15. Obviously we have a while to go before KH3 comes out. They want a KH game every year. So next year can be KH3D HD (and if we are lucky, maybe some unreleased things such as videos for BBSV2 or something. Then KH3 can come out in 2016, giving them plenty of time to work on it.
