Aww man. I hope it localizes overseas. :(

Yes, the announcement was for Japan, since they announced that it will release there. It doesn't say that the game will be exclusive to Japan, however. Let's remember that the secret message at the end of Dream Drop Distance was hinting towards the HD Collection, and that message was also in the English versions of the game. It wouldn't make any sense for them to translate that if we weren't getting it.

Could be the Japanese voice over for the Final Mix HD is the Japan only one, whilst they still have the yet, unannounced English voice over version to announce.

Well if they're re doing the voices, Haley Joel Osment wouldn't be able to play Sora anymore in KH1, since he hit puberty since then, they'd need someone new and they might not want to bother, since it'd probably annoy fans more so.

Well just use KH1 original voiceovers, update them to a better format maybe, and that's that. Really it would depend on a number of factors that I don't have a clue about.

SE will just have to tell us stuff over time.

That is of course if they decide to tell us anything past "no HD Collection for you guys, ha ha hahahaha"

That's only if its digital download, correct?

Which it will most likely be.

...

WOW! Did not know that the PS3 was region free!!! I will definately import this if it doesn't come to the US

...

That's unfortunate... D:

Lets not forget that Disney doesn't even allow SE to put KH games up on PSN

I know there is some legal dispute between them but i cant pinpoint what.

Wow I'm an idiot. As soon as I heard "HD Collection" I immediately assumed it would be on the PSN store. I didn't even consider the fact it would be on a physical disc.

I'm starting to wonder... is Nomura racist? Why does he keep refusing to release the KH Final Mixes, now this, to us? Sure, he releases the regular ones... but the superior ones, he refuses... why? Does he hate americans, and his hate of america over ride his love of money? This is just a supposition, and I really hope I am wrong, just throwing that out there.

...

That is a very strange thing to think. You should know that some scenes and events that are in the US KH1 were not in the JP version. Sephiroth was not in the JP version.

I know, I know it's stupid, it's just really frustrating at times, when they give Japan the Final Mixes, and 1.5, then give us the finger.[DOUBLEPOST=1349034874][/DOUBLEPOST]

But was in KH Final Mix, with other stuff, we never got. Why don't they release Final Mix to America? Can they not see they could make alot more money that way? It's just frustrating to me.
