I thought I had read that the reason we hadn't heard news was because the focus was on KH HD.
No, the reason FFXHD was shafted was because FFXIV was such a failure and they needed to rebuild it ASAP.

Seems like FFXIV has shafted almost everything at SE.
There's one at Jump Festa, so it should pop up on the internet soon (as a low quality video, in typical Kingdom Hearts trailer fashion), but it will probably take about week or two before Square-Enix puts it up on the internet themselves.Tonight we should get a new trailer, right? Can't wait to see the new reaction commands.
It doesn't have reaction commands.Tonight we should get a new trailer, right? Can't wait to see the new reaction commands.
Hopefully we get it in the summer.
I could import, but Japanese Donald Duck and Goofy might give me nightmares
Absolutely not. FF14 is the reason they don't made *new* HD games. THe HD remixes are another matter entirely as they require only tiny teams, and in FFX's case it's really simply that KH HD was started first, an since it's the same engine as FFX there's not point in having a second team doing the same work in parallel. Converting KH basically converts FFX.No, the reason FFXHD was shafted was because FFXIV was such a failure and they needed to rebuild it ASAP.
It would take more than two people, especially for the 358/2 Days cutscenes.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.

That's sooner than I thought. Looking forward to it actually.
2.5 is most likely gonna be Kingdom Hearts 2, BBS and Re:coded right? Still that doesn't explain the third option
No excuses, this should get a worldwide release date. We shouldn't have to wait months for localizations.
Its the same game they released a decade ago, how can this not have a worldwide releasedate.
Give up on 2.5 including BBS, people.
That's going to be part of 0.5 which they actually teased long before this.
Because it also includes 2 hours of newly voiced scenes.
Hopefully we get it in the summer.

No, only a few. Usually you'd see "lines", engines or features that are reused by the same staff. But until current-gen teams would not share their tech with each other, so it's actually pretty amusing taking them apart and seeing which is descended from which, and how they sometime implement completely different solutions to recurring problems intead of using the proven ones.Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy X is the same engine? That's kind of amazing, the games feel nothing alike. Did all the Square-Enix games on PS2 use the same engine?
I don't see why. Apart from FFXIII & XIV 1.0, they've been one of the best JRPG developers in recent years, with both the quality of their games as well as speedy localization times.Don't mind me, I just can't muster any sort of optimism when it comes to Square Enix anymore
2.5 will definitely include BBS. That's really not questionable. Whether it will have 3D in some form or the other, now THAT is still up in the air.Give up on 2.5 including BBS, people.

First Slot: 1.5 (Kingdom Hearts 1 Final Mix, Re:Chain of Memories, 358/Days scenes)
Second Slot: 2.5 (Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix+, Birth by Sleep, Re:Coded scenes)
Third Slot: Kingdom Hearts Reream Drop Distance (Full DDD port to Ps3, similar to what they did with CoM GBA->Ps2)
Somehow I could see this happening if they weren't so understaffed, but then again by the time KH 2.5 is out things should improve in that aspect.
It's their most recent release, I highly doubt they're going to relegate it to an addendum or cuscenes only.
Stuff of nightmares, you said that right... for Disney Characters English or bust! (Italian would be fine too, but they'd completely butcher all the non Disney cast)
Birth by Sleep Final Mix would be better.
I didn't know FFXII's engine just mirrored the half model. That's pretty clever, actually. It does make me wonder if FFX HD will also have FFX-2 HD included. It'd be a way to sidestep Sony's rule about no single HD remake game on a disk. I mean those games share a lot of the same world assets as is.No, only a few.

Anyway, basically FFX/X-2(obviously)/KH/KH2 share the same tech that was progressively refined and use very similar data formats. While on the other hand FF12, for example, used very different tech and data to try and squeeze much more stuff in memory (like, the FFX/KH "line" stores character models whole, which is pretty standard for games, while FF12 stores half characters plus asymmetrical bits and dynamically mirrors them).
People working on the KH Remasters probably aren't the same ones working on the FFX remaster.
Don't worry.
I'm pretty much 100% certain that 2.5 will be Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix + Birth By Sleep and ReCoded in some form (probably just cutscenes). Not sure if they think 3D needs to be added to any collection, given that it was released so recently. While a part of the reason why these collections are being made is that KH has been spread to so many platforms, I don't think having one game not be playable on PS3 is too horrible for the franchise.I think it's highly unlikely that they will package 3 big ones into one box.
It'll either be like I've said up there or they'll split KH2 + Re:coded and BBS and 3D together.
But KH2 + BBS + 3D in the same release? No chance.
EDIT: Unless they go the scenes route only for 3D, in which case I can see it being released together in 2.5 and Re:Coded getting completely ignored.

I wouldn't worry too much, it's almost guaranteed to get a Western release.I'm always kinda worried when it comes to the localisations of these games. CoM PS2 remake wasn't even released in Europe back in the day, I hope these will make it.
