@Awesome Suace Si, mucho btw since we're talking about Spanish I noticed a while ago that the most viewed video of 2017 is actually a Spanish song called "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi, it got 700 million views on just 2 months, damn. Um just wanted to share that.

That loop at the end. It seems even SE's trailers are untested and have bugs on them.

I got it on PS4. Apparently the PC port is bad like the majority of PC ports from Japanese games and it sold less than the PS4 which was expected as always (among many reasons is the physical disc market that's more than dead on PC but very alive on consoles). Square themselves said they delayed the PC port due to piracy but it seems that delaying it didn't helped much.

According to GamersJoint only physical copies were tracked, so yes the game probably sold more than that.

This is a little disappointing to me considering that I never played a KH game in my life and I was expecting this PS4 collection to be the "definitive edition". I mean I'm still really excited to get it and I'm sure some of these problems might not be present on every playthrough, and maybe the Western releases will either perform better (or worse but let's hope it doesn't ) or Square will patch some of them before its US/EU release or release a patch for it some days later.

According to Google Translator (which we need to just take it with a grain of salt since its not really accurate and a Japanese word can some times have a lot of different meanings) Kairi means either Divergence or Estrangement and Riku is, like you said, translated to Land. Mmm Waves is translated to Nami or Haro from English-to-Japanese. Maybe its Namine the one who means waves?

Aqua = water, Terra = earth, Ventus = wind, Sora = sky, Kairi = um something about earth again?, Riku = I think it was ocean or sea can't remember. This last three makes KH 1 opening have some logic to it, Sora falling from the sky, Kairi waiting for him on the ground, Riku in the middle of the sea... sorry if you already knew all this

Considering that KH 2.8 got 2 patches (maybe more?) then maybe this time Square will actually do something to patch 1.5 and 2.5 now that they are on PS4.

I might be mistaken but I think it's because you can't switch characters in FFXV and so some people were worried that this would happen on the remake too.

You mean the PS2 one? are the load times as short as the PS4 version here or are they some seconds longer?

Video provided by Tealgamemaster. I never played the PS3 collections (or any KH game for that matter), did it really used to take THAT long for the game to load the next scenes? excited for the PS4 collections!

The price has been known since months ago, on both SE official website and the PS Store: $49.99

I can't believe some people are still complaining to Square for not releasing more KH games on Xbox, I'm not being a fanboy here I'm just looking at the facts: 1- The Xbox One is a huge failure on sales on Japan, reason why the majority of Japanese games never gets released on Xbox (to name some recent ones, FF7 remaster and remake, FF12 Zodiac Age, Ni No Kuni 1 and 2, Nier Automata, I Am Setsuna, Danganronpa Collection, Yakuza, etc...) 2- Both FFXV and FFType-0 performed badly on Xbox One, the former sold 80% of its copies on PS4: https://www.gamereactor.eu/news/487863/Almost+80%25+of+Final+Fantasy+XV+UK+sales+were+on+PS4/ while the later didn't even charted within the Top 50 of X1's releases: http://www.dualshockers.com/2015/03/27/xbox-one-final-fantasy-type-0-misses-the-top-50-battlefield-hardline-manages-as-ps4-dominates-japan/ 3- The PS4 being the best selling home console of the current gen, being 20-30 millons units sold ahead of the X1: www.vgchartz.com 4- The reason why the X1 is getting a KH 3 port to begin with is just because it was decided before the new gen started and seeing the success of the X360 last gen Square Enix thought the Xbox One was also going to be selling huge this new gen, it turns out that didn't happened and the PS4 became the leading system and their latest releases on X1 performed badly like I mentioned before. I think X1 users should be glad that KH 3 didn't end up being cancelled for their console after all that. So being honest I don't think KH 3 will perform that well on X1 either, if FFXV which was a super hyped game before its release sold 80% of its copies on PS4 then KH 3 and it's "childish and Japanese" look will appeal even less to the general X1 fanbase. With all that said I do believe they should port KH 3 to the Switch, it would at least sell far better there than on the XOne. Also what are the spin-offs you guys are talking about? I thought every game on the KH franchise was important to the overall storyline, maybe excluding Re:coded?

But not for the thousands who either never owned a PS3 or just didn't played any KH game on it, the later is my case but no we're already 1 day from the Japanese release and still no trophy lists for those two, so yeah they have been removed :c

I see someone already answered that for you, but just in case: the only way to play non-remastered PS3 games on PS4 is to subscribe to PS Now which is a streaming service that allows you to play a large amount of PS3 games, unfortunately you need a good internet connection and some PS3 games aren't available there yet. But you can't play physical PS3 discs on it.

I also noticed that they removed the "Final Mix" subtitle from the PS3 trophy lists too: https://psnprofiles.com/search/games?q=kingdom%20hearts Too bad they removed the trophy lists for Days and Re:coded since I like to collect trophies, but oh well it's fine!

Like Connected said the collection is getting released on Japan a day before PAX East starts, and considering how some people always manages to get their games even earlier somehow we might start seeing some gameplay of it either tomorrow or this Wednesday.

Thing is Japanese games (JRPGs, visual novels, animes, etc) never really sold that well on Xbox. 1- The Xbox brand was always a failure on sales on Japan, nowadays even the PS3 is selling better than the Xbox One there every month according to sales charts numbers. Reason why there are and there will be way more Japanese games on PlayStation 4 than on Xbox One: Danganronpa collections, Yakuza 0, Star Ocean 5, Persona 5, Ni No Kuni 2, Shenmue 3, Final Fantasy 7 remaster and remake, Final Fantasy 12 Zodiac Age remaster, 999 and Last Reward The Nonary Games, I Am Setsuna, etc... 2- Recently FFXV and FFType-0 were reported to have sold 80% of their copies on PS4 while a minimum of copies were sold on Xbox One worldwide. 3- The reason why the XOne will get a KH 3 port was considered before the new gen started, and due the success of the X360 last gen SE thought the XOne was going to be selling really well this gen, but it turns out that the PS4 became the best selling console (50 millions PS4 sold vs 20 millions XOne sold: VGChartz.com) and like I said the last FF releases on XOne didn't sold really well. If Square would've know this beforehand I doubt they would have green-lighted an XOne port.

this game has gotten amazing reviews on nearly all sites, so it seems its going to be very good! people who says they aren't interested on it either don't have a PS4 (which is weird, considering they are on a KH site and 1.5, 2.5 and 2.8 are PS3/PS4 exclusives) and might be jealous or well they just aren't interested on this type of game which is fine. i don't read my notifications by the way*

and another reason as to why pc ports always sells lower than the consoles/playstation versions. piracy, no physical market, requiring expensive gaming pc, etc... i don't read my notifications by the way...

that's why I prefer to play my games on my PS4, no need to worry about my pc's specs, system requirements, upgrade it with more hardware every now and then to make newer games run on it, etc... the majority of companies gets most of their money from consoles anyways (as seen on sales charts and the physical market being dead on pc), so that's why pc ports tends to not be so good most of the time.

I was actually comparing their difficulty to KH's difficulty, I didn't explicitly said that FF games were hard although personally I find it hard to accomplish 100% on them based on all the extra stuff or at least very time consuming, but it might just be 'cause I'm a little impatient with that kind of stuff.

I think the most popular/beloved FF games are FF 7 (undoubtedly the most popular one, is even getting a current gen remake based on its popularity, even though is gameplay and of course graphics are pretty outdated for nowadays standards) and FF 10 (besides others) so I would recommend you to play those. I had more fun with 10's gameplay, although 7's story and characters are far more superior in my opinion. They aren't connected story-wise at all (maaaybe some of them shares some monsters, name references, etc but overall pretty irrelevant stuff) unless otherwise noted in their title's numbers (FF X-2 is a direct sequel to FF X, Dirge of Cerberus FF VII is I think a prequel to FF VII), etc Gameplay-wise I believe the FF games are harder (specially the older ones) compared to KH's gameplay (which is kind of obvious considering their target audiences) but still pretty enjoyable. And I believe their stories aren't convoluted but personally I find some of the terms, mythological stuff, background stuff, etc somewhat confusing but that's just me.

FF VII and FF X/X-2 remaster both on PS4 I've never played any FF game before but I had to in order to prepare myself for the KH 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 remasters on PS4 (I've never played any KH game either), I also watched many Disney movies to familiarize myself with the characters and settings ^_^
