KH-Vids | Your ultimate source for Kingdom Hearts media

Hey guys, our news today come exclusively from Yoko Shimomura herself. According to her, an HD Remix Ost is still undecided but definitely a possibility.

It's all according to demand, she says. Here's the tweet in question.

But why release an HD Remix if all the songs are the same as the older games?

There you have it.

What do you guys think? Would you like an 1.5 HD Remix OST with the Live renditions? Would you rather wait until 2.5 comes out? Would you buy the OST if it does come out?

Thanks to Roxam and lycoris_moon29 for the information.

Hey everyone! We're excited to be having yet another Staff Questions podcast!


For those unfamiliar with the Staff Questions podcasts, basically, we post a thread in which you guys can send in questions. These questions can be directed at a specific staff member, or to the entire group. The host will ask our staff members these questions over the podcast! This time around Peace and War and myself will be cohosting.

Hey guys! Yet another week has gone by, and that means it's time for another Top 5! Be sure to keep submitting those videos -- there weren't enough for a full five places this week, unfortunately (although the submissions were fantastic!). Don't forget to tag entries!
Also though, I'd like to clarify something in the rules that was a bit vague (my bad). I'll address that at the bottom of this post.

This Week's Judge(s): Stardust

1. Kingdom Hearts III Teaser Trailer


Submitted by: AppleTStudios
Music: Louder Than Words by Les Friction and Basalt by The Hit House
Details: Wow, this is an incredible mock-teaser! The cuts, text, and music all feel really authentic and the clips are well-chosen. I really enjoyed it.

2. Paradise
Submitted by: minicoop55
Song: Paradise by Coldplay
Details: This has a really awesome sense of atmosphere and the footage feels like it fits in with the lyrics very naturally. Great work with the effects, voice layovers, and especially the cuts & fades! There were some effects that I felt were a bit unnecessary but overall, very nicely constructed.

3. Alive (Dedicated to Starlight2011studios, PrincessKairixXx, and My Good Friend)
Submitted by: sonicfan23
Song: Alive by Arrow to Athens
Details: This is really sweet! Smoothly edited and fits the lyrics well. My only major critique is that some of the lip-syncing was somewhat off.

4. Mt. Eden - The Walk [FULL MEP]
Submitted by: lillovedoctor [also featuring editing by Blackcat123pacifica, 1bzoe, & Jrock13Anime]
Song: The Walk by Mt. Eden/Imogen Heap
Details: Since this is an effort by multiple people, there's not much I can say specifically! A nicely done MEP, very cool.

And that's it for this week -- congrats! But that brings me to my next topic,

Obviously this doesn't apply to this week's results (the rules simply stated "must be related"), but I'd just like to clarify for anyone else looking to submit MEPs or projects with non-Kingdom Hearts footage. It's fine to submit MEPs/collabs with footage that isn't Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy/The World Ends With You, but please ensure that at least 50% of the footage is relevant to those in the future, or otherwise submit your part of the MEP for judging separately. Thanks!

Known for their work on the Legend of Zelda timeline, Gametrailers has also confirmed to doing a Kingdom Hearts timeline. Teased back in February with a release date announced earlier this month, GameTrailers will chronicle the last 7 games of the series in to an easy to understand video. This will be their second video in the timeline series, and will hopefully shed some light onto those who are a bit behind on the world of Kingdom Hearts!

With Square Enix promising a "terrific lineup" of games at this year's E3, Square will live broadcast its E3 showcase next month through a new program dubbed “Square Enix Presents.”

Square also promises that it will offer a “diverse and user-friendly” range of programming. Square Enix Japan marketing director Akio Oofuji tells us “Square Enix Presents is a new way we can engage on a more meaningful and personal level with our community and fans and share with them the spectacle and excitement of E3."

Square Enix Presents will have a full programming schedule in the upcoming weeks, you can check out the promotional video below.
