Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX coming to NA and Europe this Fall

Yeah.
I'm super excited for it.

Especially the Coded part!

I would almost be embarassed to have Coded cutscenes on my trophy list. Almost.

People in general seem to be much more excited for 2.5 than 1.5. Both 2 and BBS have a big following in the fanbase. Re:CoM not so much :/
 
The 3 Hour Long Days movie is the only thing that matters in 1.5
also skipping cutscenes in KH 1 is a dream come true.

These two sentiments can be held by the same person?

Oh, right, you're that insane dude who literally only likes the parts of this series that has Roxas in them.

I'm glad 2.5 will have 2 and BbS. Can't wait to play it. I wonder how they'll do the multiplayer portion for BbS though.

You're right. The only thing I'm really excited for 1.5 is KH1 FM itself because I have never played the Final Mix version and because of the additional upgrades to the game (better quality soundtrack, better camera, trophies, graphics, etc). Re:CoM is an added bonus and that 3 hour movie is probably a huge waste of time for me (but I'll probably let it run just to get the trophies).

2.5 will probably have KH2 FM+ and BbS FM which are the games I really wanted since they are really good gameplay wise.

That's okay, because Roxas is the best character in Kingdom Hearts, baring Christopher Lee's DiZ
Ansem the Wise..whatever

(I'm of the opinion that the Roxas/Twilight Town opening in KH2 is the best moment of the SERIES.)

And not a damn lie was told.

Unless they completely change/remove Mirage Arena (Which is doubtful considering how much content is tied to it, including quite a few optional bosses designed with multiplayer in mind) I think adding an online component is probably the only thing they could do without having to do any sort of major reworking.
 
I do like Roxas more than Sora... I know, I know...
But he annoys me less.

Sora's annoying, but Riku and all three BBS protagonists are far better than Roxas *or* Sora.

Also, there has been exactly one piece of gameplay as Roxas that was actually fun (the dual-wielding fight against Axel in KH2). Every single other moment playing as him has sucked.

I beat everything in Mirage Arena solo in BBS, though it was tough... I'd say they could just tone down the difficulty of some of the fights, perhaps.
 
I don't know, Terra is kind of my least favourite. He's like...dumber than Sora is. And not in the goofball yet endearing sort of way like Sora.

The problem with Sora is that he's either "HEY I'M HAPPY! LET'S BE HAPPY TOGETHER! FRIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENDS!" or "What?!?!"

Like I feel like at the end off DDD when
Riku passes the exam and Sora didn't, Sora should of gotten jealous because in the first game Sora would get immensely jealous or mad when Riku beat him
 
Terra gets points for the scenes in his endgame, but yeah... he's gullible to the point of hilarity.

Still liked him more than Sora (and Roxas!), though.

Hey, it's not my fault he's better than Sora in almost every way.
Also that's not completely true, I dislike RE:Coded and that
has Roxas as the final boss
:3

I used to not like Riku, but I have liked his character growth throughout the series way more than Sora. Especially in CoM and DDD. He's goes through that 'emo' phase in KH2 though.

Roxas is a better counterpart to Sora mostly because Roxas is a darker character. He's willing to do things that Sora wouldn't be able to do and isn't as pure. From that point I find him more interesting.

There's that eyeroll inducing "Maybe I'm the biggest nobody of all" nonsense in Days, too.

Agreed on CoM and DDD, though.

Are there really even enough cutscens in Coded to warrant the Days treatment? I haven't played it, but I'm under the assumption it's 90% a KH1 rehash.

I like Terra even though he makes some really dumb choices. I do want him to come back somehow though.

I'm surprised you like him considering his archetype and his entire character seems somewhat generic/stereotypical/shounen. lol.

No because anything that actually happens is pretty much pointless. Days actually elaborates on a few things and some character interactions. Coded has nothing other than a tease for DDD at the end.

At least he seems to have gotten over that angst; perhaps whatever 'redemption' he has achieved by the end of KH2 and into DDD is slightly more satisfying (for me anyway) because he was being stupid for a time.

In all honesty I would've liked a DDD movie rather than a coded movie. Fail. I'm going to believe what duckroll said though in that they're going to make DDD a 45 minute prologue for KH3 if anything.

Riku is pretty cool now. I'm pretty sure he could even take Sora at this point.

Though Sora's Drives seem broken...at least in gameplay. I hope they bring back Drives in KH3. Drives with Flowmotion could be crazy.
 
Leon > * really

Not sure if this is a controversial opinion or not, but I think Leon/Squall is a more enjoyable KH character than he is a FF protagonist.

True. The lower you fall, the higher you fly and all that.
 
Guys, why are KH threads more civil?

I've noticed this, as well. I was half-expecting a giant Sora v. Roxas fight to break out..

Probably because we knew going in KH would be insane and we're just along for the ride!

(Leon is much better in KH than FF.....it seems so weird. Not as weird as Former Member of N'Sync voicing Sephiroth weird.)

I've always thought that KH DDD is meant to be Riku's game. The ending and all that, and they show how much he's changed.

It almost feels like they included Sora out of obligation. They could've just doubled Riku's story and shown cutscene segments for Sora and gotten the same effect. Removing the drop system probably would probably improve the game tenfold anyway.
 
Sora becomes dumber with each passing game. He was most competent and at his best in KH1 and at his worst in DDD.

Terra indeed may be stupid but at least they handled him better than Anakin that he is pretty much based on :lol.
 
BBS with actually usable controls (I have large hands) will be amazing. Still can't quite believe they would bundle it with Kingdom hearts 2 though.

There are plenty of moments where you just want to slap the smile off his face considering all he has gone through. On the other hand I suppose that optimism does count for something.
A Roxas, Xion game would make me most happy.

Do we know if they remastered Deep Dive? Or is it like the main menu video, just upscaled? I'm wondering whether or not I should bother to do everything in the Jiminy notebook now, or just move to Re:CoM as soon as I'm over with the story...
