A Special Comment from Director Tetsuya Nomura appears!
KINGDOM HEARTS χ released in July and are you guys enjoying it since? It is free to play so please feel free to try it by all means.
This title from the series feels considerably different and there may be some of you who are puzzled. I think, play it slowly without rushing. The title has only been around for a few months and gradually we will add more elements that will appear in the future and we also plan to deliver a story that leads to the series.
It has more than you might dub as KINGDOM HEARTS, of course I have some surprises in the future. Please pay attention to the behavior of a mysterious person.

1.5 HD ReMix article in GameInformer

Posted by Krowley : Aug 25, 2013 at 11:54 AM ( 6 , 1,015 )

Alas, it has been a slow new month, and with the HD collection for Kingdom Hearts just over a few weeks away, much advertising is to be expected. Lovely forum member Sabby has taken the liberty to give a little screenshot of an article from GameInformer that gives basic information on what is gained with the collection. Nothing new, but any bit of news is appreciated in a slow month.

Remember; Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD ReMix releases on September 10 for North America, September 12th for Australia, and September 13th for Europe!

Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix
The Magic Kingdom goes high definition
Platform: PlayStation 3 | Style: 1-Player Action/Role-Playing | Publisher: Square Enix | Developer: Square Enix | Release: September 10th

Kingdom hearts fan are demanding a bunch. For many years, priority one has been pressuring Square Enix to make Kingdom Hearts III. Now that Square announced it at this year's E3, the crowd can turn its eyes toward the second most request goal: HD remakes of the previous games. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix contains the original Kingdom Hearts game (PS2), Re:Chain of Memories (PS2), and all of the cutscenes from 358/2 Days (DS). All of these entries can be accessed from the start, but we've listed them below in order of chronology and importance.

Kingdom Hearts (2002)
The crown jewel of the collection, Kingdom Hearts takes players back to where it all began. After seven games and more than 10 years of complicated and twisting storytelling, it's refreshing to start over and simply absorb the tale before you.

From Sora's first steps on the pristine beaches of Destiny Islands, it's clear that a lot of love went into this remake. The visuals look surprisingly good for a game this old. The simple cartoony art style lends itself well to an HD upgrade, as many of the original textures weren't extremely detailed in the first place.

This edition marks the first time that western players can experience the Final Mix version. This formerly Japan-only director's cut adds in new enemies, weapons, abilities, and plenty more. On top of these Final Mix bonuses, Square streamlined the controls for modern times. The camera is now controlled with the right stick instead of the shoulder buttons, and environment interactions and summons are far easier to access.

Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories (2007)
This marks the second time Square has re-released Chain of Memories. Originally a sprite-based 2D card battler on GameBoy Advance in 2004, it jumped to PS2 with 3D characters and environments a few years later. This is an HD version of that second edition, and not much else has changed. Chain of Memories' card system remains the series' most different and at times frustrating combat mechanic. The story covers Sora's journey between Kingdom Hearts I and II.

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (2009)
I never thought I'd have to explain how to pronounce this game ever again, yet here we are. Say it like this: three-five-eight days over two. This entry contains none of the original gameplay. Apparently, upping the resolution of the DS visuals wasn't as simple and cost-effective as with the other two games. Instead, players get HD cutscenes with added facial expression and more voicework for scenes that used to contain word bubbles. The videos run just under three hours, which sounds like a slog. But when you compare it to playing the entire game again you're shaving off about 20 hours. Besides, if you haven't bothered to play 358/2 Days after all these years, the story is probably all you're curious about anyway.
