Maybe it contains themes for our PS4? just like with the other collections

With the way things are on the current gaming market there's probably not going to be one, all additional content will most likely be released as DLC or have a Season Pass. Maybe they could release a Complete Edition afterwards with the subtitle Final Mix as a reference to past similar editions, that would be cool at least.

Ow they replaced my whole thread would've liked that they kept my original underneath the new one but it doesn't matter. Yes that's very sad but since the physical gaming market is still very healthy on consoles (and I think in many cases most of the sales comes from there) you shouldn't worry about it at all for now I strongly believe everything will still be physical when the PS5 comes and maybe the PS6 too, so companies won't get rid of the physical format until the digital one really takes over and physical stops being profitable, but like I said that won't happen in the nearly future so just don't think about it ;P

Maybe they just got the information wrong or added it just to go along with the "4K" words, it wouldn't make sense otherwise considering KH DDD already runs at 60fps on the standard PS4 and it is capable to run PS3 remasters such as The Last of Us and the Uncharted Collection at 60fps too, so some PS2 ones should be even less of a problem. And I mean the fps thing is one of the best incentive for those people who already played the PS3 collections to buy the PS4 ones anyways.

I hope this doesn't come as off-topic, but could somebody answer this 2 questions for me regarding cutscenes?: 1- Why is it that KH 2 has so many hours of cutscenes? is the game much longer than the first one or did they just added more cutscenes while maybe sacrificing a little bit more of gameplay time? 2- Since 358/2 Days and Re:coded are movies, is there a way to pause them, quit the game, and then resume watching them in the same place I left it? Thank you, and as for your question I would say it will probably be as long as KH 2? after all there's a lot of hype surrounding the game so I doubt it would be shorter than the previous one, the game its like a FFXV 2.0 at this point

I used to think Utada's music was the reason behind these after seeing all those people saying the same thing, but after I made that other thread asking if this collection would end up being released on the PS Store or not some user shared this article with me: http://www.siliconera.com/2011/02/23/nomura-comments-on-kingdom-hearts-birth-by-sleeps-absence-on-psn/ in which Nomura explains why BBS wasn't released on PSN: "The problem does not lie with Square Enix, Disney or Hikaru Utada who performed the game’s theme song. "It’s difficult because of a reason I cannot say," Nomura explained. Nomura says he is thinking about how to make a downloadable version available, but he needs more time." Well its not really an explanation since he "can't say" the real reason , but at least we know it never had anything to do with Utada, although that rumor is still circulating even to this day. Like someone else told me some time ago it might have had something to do with piracy, but yeah unless Nomura is allowed to explain the real reason someday we'll never know for sure.

Thank you man!! thanks for all your support on my other thread I couldn't be happier to read about this news ^_^ will be pre-ordering it day one for sure! Haha yeah you're right, there was pretty much no reason for it to not have one! but I was still scared that it wouldn't for some reason x3 Even though I only buy digital stuff I really support physical copies, and I hope that digital doesn't take over at least not anytime soon But yes, hooray for PS4's mandatory releases!! -except for Lego Dimensions, Skylanders and Puyo Puyo Tetris- although the first two are understandable since one still needs physical stuff to play with them, but that last one is a weird case That's true, in my opinion at least it should be available only as a temporal exclusive for digital pre-orders and then be available on the PS Store for all the other people who got the physical release

Yes I do love physical copies so I hope that trend never dies even though for accessibility and some other reasons I buy all my games through the PS Store nowadays. But yeah I fully support all those people who prefers physical over digital! and I'm really glad I'll finaly get to try this series.

Gamestop USA has displayed Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5 ReMIX on their website as both a physical and digital purchase for $49.99. Many fans were pleased with Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue also being a digital download. You can view the listing down below. What do you think of this listing? Is it likely that Kingdom Hearts III may have a digital download also? Let us know in the comments! Credit to Down from NeoGaf and KHinsider for the tip! Click here to view the article

personally i think its a bad idea to buy a console like the switch first which is probably going to end up being a Wii U's 2.0 failure than buying the PS4 which is the best selling one of this gen and the one regarded to have the best and most critical acclaimed exclusives based on Metacritic and similar pages' scores. But after all it is your money so you can do whatever you want.

They didn't changed Haley Joel Osment, he's the one voicing Sora on DDD, he just grow older so that's why he voice might've changed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haley_Joel_Osment#Video_games, people said the same thing when they heard Sora on the latest KH 2.8 trailer when that was also Haley voicing him. They have Google and don't use it before making such comments. The only time they changed his voice was in Birth By Sleep for his depiction as a child, were he was voiced by Luke Manriquez, but Haley has been his voice on pretty much every other entry. That "manga kid with the headphones" you're talking about is the protagonist of the DS video game "The World Ends With You", if you haven't played it or haven't played some other Final Fantasy games you won't recognize some characters of the KH series, because after all is a Square Enix + Disney crossover series. That's why I bought some FF games and played TWEWY (and watched many Disney's movies) just to familiarize myself with the characters once I get to play the KH series. Also don't make it so hard, just get the 1.5+2.5 collections on March, play all of them in order and that's it, don't skip anything. Easy. KH 3 is still miles away so you still have a lot of time to catch up with the entire series.

That's correct, but I can recall 3 games that didn't got a digital release for PS4: LEGO Dimensions, Skylanders and Puyo Puyo Tetris. The first two its understandable, you'd still need physical toys to play the game, but PPT got a digital release for the Switch, PS3 and Vita, and only a physical release for the PS4 which is kind of weird and its the only one that I can't seem to find a reason as to why it didn't got one. Someone said it might be 'cause Ubisoft already released a similar Tetris-like game on the Store and that's why PPT's devs decided to not release it there, but this is just a rumor. But yeah those are the only ones I can think of while all the other games did got a digital release, so I guess I just need to keep waiting and see if any news comes up about this.

This is awesome and all but I still just want to know if this collection will have a digital release on the PS Store like 2.8 did Guess I'll have to wait until February and see if a pre-order versions shows up there. I really want to finally get to play this KH games!

I don't think you were supposed to play 2.8 if the only KH games that you've played were 1 and 2. The games relies heavily on their stories and they all connect to each other unlike the majority of Final Fantasy games. Even if you played 1 and 2 when you were a child you were supposed to play Re:Chain of Memories before 2, because that was the true sequel to KH 1 which makes you understand 2's story better. I think you need to wait for the 1.5+2.5 collections to arrive on the PS4 on March and then play them in release order: play all the games on 1.5 first the way they are shown on the main menu, then do the same with 2.5 and finally continue with 2.8 Getting all the three collections allows you to have every KH game on only 1 console. Some people believe that every other game that isn't 1 and 2 are "spin-offs" or "not relevant to the story" which isn't true at all, they aren't numbered but from what I understood they are just important to the overall story as 1 and 2 are. For example Birth by Sleep is heavily connected with 0.2 on the 2.8 collection, same characters and all. So yeah, in my opinion you need to get the 1.5+2.5 collections for the PS4 and then replay 2.8 and see if you understand the story better after doing so.

Apparently it was a mistake after all, again: https://gamerant.com/kingdom-hearts-3-xbox-one-250/ But I mean, its kind of understandable why they treat the Xbox One the way they do for this type of Japanese games considering that the XOne is a failure on sales on Japan (most of the time the PS3 is still selling better than it every month there) and the reason as to why most of them tends to be released on PS or Nintendo consoles instead. And also one has to take into account the sales of SE's latest XOne releases: "Almost 80% of Final Fantasy XV UK sales were on PS4" "Xbox One Final Fantasy Type-0 Misses the Top 50" I'm not hating on the Xbox or anything like that and I hope they still get the KH 3 port, just trying to provide some info as to why this might've happened. Maybe since it has Disney characters, which are Western, the Xbox port might do a little better than the FF ones, but considering all those facts and since the collections are PS-exclusive I still doubt it will perform too well, but you never know.

Yes! its that centipede enemy which maybe you remember TV show: http://scontent.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/s480x480/e15/11419283_110856599250869_623909642_n.jpg?ig_cache_key=Njg0Mjg5MzExMzc4MTU0Njk4.2 Game: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/-BEF4CwPDcU/maxresdefault.jpg Think on how many other cool easter eggs/references the series might have and we aren't able to recognize them! Oh thanks! I'll sent you a request later on then, and well I guess this will be my last message here for now x3 I'll still be visiting the forums from time to time and I'm sure I'll be using it more once I get the collections see you on PSN!

(For the record I haven't checked any of my notifications or read any reply from any other user that isn't Transcendent Key ) Don't pay attention to that Oh I see, I'm actually planning to watch the sequels and other direct-to-video stuff from the ones I've seen, maybe that way I can catch on even more references that might appear on the KH franchise! apparently there's even an enemy from the Aladdin 90's TV series that appears on some Agrabah levels on KH, but I won't go as far as to watch those TV shows so I'll only stick with the movies Sorry for the delay but you're a nice guy for replying to all of my comments! so could I sent you a friend request to PSN? only if you want of course I just thought I might have some questions about a few things once I start this series and since you're a fan maybe you could help me.

@Casper there's no game at 900p on PS4, they're all at 1080p and 30/60fps. Funny to see a pathetic PC fanboy being unhappy at how everyone is enjoying their games on PS4 while he has to wait years for them to come to PC and/or not come at all.

@Elast0 not everyone has a gaming PC, in fact according to an old steam survey most players have less powerful PCs than PS4 and Xbox one.

I'm glad I have a PS4 to get to play them as soon as they come up, and not having to deal with bugs and problems on the PC versions and having to check system requirements to see if my PC can handle it and having to upgrade it with new hardware like graphics cards and processors to make newer games run properly on it. So glad I stopped gaming on PC a long time ago, got nothing but frustrations with it.

It says "Only on PlayStation" on the collections cover arts, I mean being a PC fanboy on a KH community its kind of like weird considering they never made any KH game for the PC except for that browser game and unofficial (and crappy) PC emulations. Based on sales facts Japanese games and JRPGs still sells much better on PlayStation than on PC (piracy), I'm not saying they don't sell well on the later but PC gaming isn't really popular on Japan based on sales.

But 1.5, 2.5 and 2.8 cover arts says "Only on PlayStation" on the top right corners, you can also see this at the ending of the last couple of KH 2.8 trailers. Which means they'll more than likely stay PS-exclusive.

I agree! and I'm still on my journey of watching the remaining Disney movies, recently just watched Pirates of the Caribbean 1 (awesome movie!) and that Aladdin sequel (obviously not so good compared to the first one but still pretty enjoyable) Thanks again for all your kind comments!! and the minute the collections hits the Store I'll be pre-ordering it! can't wait!!

You're welcome! just keep checking the Japanese Store everyday (and type Kingdom Hearts on the search bar) to see if they already uploaded the full game.

I think its because that's the Pre-order version of the game (it says pre-order at the beginning: [予約]) so since the game is already out there you can't pre-order it anymore, so I guess you'll need to wait for the Japanese Store to get updated with the full game. It gets updated every Tuesday on NA and EU, but I don't know about Japan.
