It would take a lot of effort to make that a decent game, they shouldn't bother.

Three buttons makes me leery. I want KH2:FM and BBS:FM to come together (especially to get a retail release in NA), plus the DDD cutscenes in a theater mode (Re:Coded doesn't really matter).
Ugh, if they release them separately and they go digital-only in NA like Okami...

I only see that happening if they can't get them done together in a timely fashion.

Lol at anyone hoping to get this in the summer! That's far too long from March... why would it take them 3 months to record voice acting? There's a good chance that this has already been started on. I wouldn't say it is out of the question for a release only about a month or so after its Japan release.
In any case I can't wait but I already own every Final Mix, so I am not really as excited as I am sure a lot of my fellow KH fans are.

These games are already localized, for the most part, and KH localizations haven't taken that long nowadays (3-4 months at max, except for a couple of games when they've added a lot of content, like for the first game & Birth By Sleep). I'd guess late Spring-mid summer 2013 at latest.
Square Enix surely is known for their timeliness.

Apart from the hassle with the Fabula Nova Crystalis saga's development, they've been timely in recent years, especially when it comes to localization times. That's one thing no one can criticize them about (with the exception of Type-0 & Bravely Default, but the reasons for those are obvious).
Don't mind me, I just can't muster any sort of optimism when it comes to Square Enix anymore
From memory Nomura said in a interview a few years back that they were aiming for one Kingdom Hearts game per year (including HD remasters and final mixes), so i'm going to guess they're tagreting a 2014 release with 2.5.
They mentioned there's 14 worlds in V-Jump so I'd assume so, unless they picked a world to replace it. (which is extremely unlikely)
The 4Gamer piece mentions Tarzan as being included in the game.
This should be safe from a digital-only future outside of Japan; SCEA requires HD ports to be packaged as collections to be sold at retail, and this fits the bill just fine.
The Burroughs estate owns the character and licenses him out. Disney's cracker jack legal team managed to secure him for rereleases for their movie and its derivative works.

Uh. *points at Beyond Good & Evil HD, Okami HD, Resident Evil 4 HD, and Resident Evil Code: Veronica X HD, etc.*
Like I said, SCEA doesn't allow for HD ports to be sold on their own at retail in the US. There are two games on this disc.
Honestly, I found that it retroactively makes the prologue of KH2 better. Like, it made it so that it actually made a lick of sense.
Probably not so important anywhere else, though.

My bad, I didn't realize you were talking about 1.5 ReMIX. Yeah, not worried about it.

nice date.. if there won't be a special edition I'll import it with Muramasa (Vita) end of march.
Glad to hear it's confirmed.
If you're importing due to thinking they wont bring it over this is probably the one game that we're waiting on from them that's prettymuch guaranteed to be bought over to the West.

Will buy, if it gets localized.
If it doesn't get localized, this will be a whole new level of incompetence from Square Enix.

What's to come on about? Where is Type 0? They could port the damn game, HD remaster it, something but that's still not here. Who would have thought in 2012.
That art is really old though.Square Enix is doing some trolling.
Don't worry.

I wonder if 2.5 will make it late next year. KH2FM and BBSFM in HD sounds fucking ridiculous.
I really hope that 3rd button is for Kingdom Hearts III or something. Please don't let duckroll be right.
I'm not as negative about Square as most people these days, but I don't think tere's any chance that they localize this a mere month after the Japanese release. Would love for you to be right though.

There will be 2.5 and 0.5. rofl.
So funny, it has to be true.
So...what would that mean for FFXHD?
Type-0 is an unfortunate situation, but it's not at all comparable to this HD collection.
Do we know any particulars about FFXHD yet, particularly if it's a port or a full-on remake?

I hope they already started on KH2.5.
Give me KH2FM and BBS HD please.

Wouldn't FFXHD be next priority?
Sony will allow it because it's SQenix, and it's on Vita, lol.
People working on the KH Remasters probably aren't the same ones working on the FFX remaster.

I thought I had read that the reason we hadn't heard news was because the focus was on KH HD.

Isn't the the development team for this like 2 people or something?
FFXHD would be a much bigger project then this. Would definitely require more staff/time.
It is a bit of a joke if they can't give us a worldwide release with this and I just hope it doesn't take any longer than 1-3 months, following the Japanese release.
