I asked around on reddit, someone linked to a twitter post of a guy saying it was a previously unreleased take/alternate line of "wherever you go I'm always with you", and that the trailer editor may have grabbed the wrong file. The person (@_branden_) has interviewed Tai Yasue before apparently, but it's questionable if he has any insider information. And it seems odd that they'd hold onto a 14+ year old unused take, but who knows? I honestly can't pin the voice. If it is Alyson Stoner, it's the closest she's ever sounded to Hayden Panettiere. If it isn't an old clip, it might mean they're doing a little extra voice acting. The Japanese KH1 CGI ending has Kairi say a line kind of similar to that, and Final Mix has some unvoiced scenes with Riku. I think it's pretty unlikely for them to do that now, but I'm kinda stumped. Would be weird to do voice acting just for the trailer, but possible.
We can only hope :P Also English trailer is out: There's a weird voice clip of Kairi(?) when showing KH1 that I don't recognize. Wonder what that's about.
I don't think he ever said he's obligated to make one every year. Just mentioned they had been doing that, or that he was aiming to do that. To each their own, but a lot of people wanted this for a long time, since before the PS3 collections even released, myself included. Getting to play these games I love, looking and playing (hopefully) better than ever, is exciting to me. But I also understand how you feel and that's totally valid.
Yeah, I did know about that side of it, makes sense to stagger releases. Just wondering now if this contributed at all. Obviously they couldn't talk about it before it was announced. I hear you. 60fps is nice but doesn't do too much for me. But what I am excited about is the potential for them fixing up some of the bugs and getting overall better performance out of these collections. 2.5 especially is very flawed, with long load times, audio bugs, and frame stutters. From what I hear the FFX collection got a good loading boost from PS3 to PS4, and higher quality models (people who had board hands got individual fingers). No details so far but it would be nice to see the same treatment here. I would be very surprised if loading/performance was not improved in this version.
They have multiple teams working on these games. If anything this might be partially responsible for delaying 2.8. And even if it did delay 3 a bit, with PS4 Pro and other possible iterative consoles, PS5 will likely be very far in the future :P
On the JP kingdom hearts twitter account, Nomura confirmed all games will be running at 60fps. Don't know if this applies to the pre-rendered scenes as well but that would be nice. I assumed that would be the case, but good to have confirmation.
You mean like on YouTube? I didn't plan on it, but we could probably do that.
View attachment 45585 Hey everyone, the next batch of cutscenes are here! We've had the Japanese version up for quite a while, but now the English version of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days has been added to the archive. You can download everything here. And in case you missed last week's update, we also have all of Re:Chain of Memories available for download. For that and more, be sure to check out our Cutscene Archive. And with that, we've wrapped up the first HD collection. The next update will take a little longer, but will be out as soon as possible. Stay tuned! Again, thanks to @libregkd for getting the archive page up and running.
Yeah, I haven't been getting emails recently either. Haven't noticed for how long, but I think at least a week.
View attachment 45545 Hey, all! It's been a hot minute since our last big archive update, but today I'm happy to present the entirety of Re:Chain of Memories and Reverse/Rebirth in HD! And for the completists out there, we also have all the text bubble sequences available as separate downloads. You can access it all from our Cutscene Archive. Apologies for the massive delays. For a multitude of reasons, the entire project fell into limbo for quite a while. But I recently acquired the means to pick things up where we left off, so barring my untimely demise, you can expect to see more updates from us in the coming weeks. It's been long overdue, but we want to put the "Vids" back in KH-Vids. Big thanks to @libregkd for sprucing up the archive, and putting everything in its proper place. More to come soon!
Invitation has been sent. Welcome aboard :)
I don't think I've beat Mysterious Figure without cheesing him a bit with Fire/Thunder Surges. It's a shame cause it's a really cool boss with an absolutely absurd move pool. Now that I think about it, I don't think I ever attempted Armor of Eraqus or No Heart in BBSFM. I should do that some day. @. : tale : . @Roxam Annoyingly for Ava you kind of need specific medals. Queen Minnie is a necessity to survive (maybe other healers work, but she's the best), and Defense Boost II if you have it (again, DB1 might work too). I was lucky and happened to get a Namine, so I could copy her attack boosts. When she buffed her defense, I would wail on her with basic attacks to build my special meter back up, and maybe get in a heal. If you've got one, Alice might work well, to negate her defense buffs and whatnot, but I haven't got it.
Happy to have you :)
This recently happened to me too. We'll get an admin or two to look into it soon, sit tight :P
This problem doesn't seem to affect cutscenes. I assume this is how they do surround sound for the gameplay, but I'm speaking with zero actual...
So before, sound effects played at more or less the same volume regardless of where the character/object that produced that sound was. But now...
To my knowledge no patches ever came out for 1.5 or 2.5
You're right, I should
I've been talking with Amaury. He'll be making a full return this weekend. Fret not, people.
Thanks for your patience. Things should be running smoothly now. Let us know if it happens again.
