  • yes yes yes and once more YES!!
  • i came.
  • Aww yeah!
  • Love the KOH's day 1 buy for me.
  • Yay! ^(^_^)^ Gimme (>^__^)>
  • As someone who never played a Kingdom Hearts game, all those weird title names are confusing, borderline to the point it might even be a stroke. Nonetheless, I'm really looking forward to it!
  • Dammit have to wait til fall 2013. Me want now.
  • Weird they chose to give us "movies" of 358/2 instead of the actual game. When I first read it, I assumed it was the pre-ff7 treatment, where the core game was unchanged, but with new cutscenes. Was it so bad, they don't want us to replay it? My wife played it and liked it, I however never touched the handhelds.
  • Now THIS is gonna be GOOD...!!! ^(^_^)^
  • I was never into RPG's. Still not really a fan, but I heard phenomenal things about Kingdom Hearts, so I will definitely be making a purchase. Besides, I love Disney! :-D
  • Sweet, this is one game that everyone in my home likes to play.
  • I'm glad this is coming out, it's gonna be awesome. But... just the story videos from 358/2 Days? Why not the game itself? And on that note: why not bring Birth by Sleep and Crisis Core to the PS3? It's already been proven that PSP games can make the leap.
  • OMG I'm so excited.
  • WOOOOO!
  • The one thing I always liked about the KH series is the character models and animation. Now that they are in HD, this is SO worth a new copy buy.
  • This is just so...it's like the majority of the rest of the games this year suddenly became filler material. I can't wait! I absolutely adore and love Kingdom Hearts, and now I'll finally get Final Mix. In the absence of Kingdom Hearts 3, this will do just fine.
  • Nerdgasm activated!!! Woohoo!
  • This is good, but again, it's just poor business sense from Square. At least they're smart enough to get it out in Autumn of 2013, rather than after the release of the PS4, which will cut into the number of people who will purchase it. Why did it take so many years to do this?
  • Day 1!
  • So, so happy!! It's about time too... I bet a mix of 2.5 will come everytually including KH2, Birth by Sleep and Dream Drop Distance. BRING ME KINGDOM HEARTS 3 ALREADY!!!!
  • @12 i would assume that birth by sleep and crisis core will probably be in kingdom hearts 2 HD collection if they make it which they better and probably will.
  • fucking awesome
  • Take my money square, just take it.
  • Is west also Europe or just US?
  • I'm not a fan, but my roommates are. Does this include the first three games or are these spin offs?
  • @21 how in gods given earth do u assume crisis core will be in kingdom hearts 2 hd collection? It's not even part of the kingdom hearts story arc
  • @23 You and me both. Just shut up and take my money already! I need this collection already!
  • Now just do the others and I can and will say screw you ps4, ps3 still has my heart
  • So at this rate, the second Kingdom Hearts collection will be on PS4? Then we'll finally get KHIII on PS5? I kid; at any rate, this is something I'll be interested in picking up. I started the series with KHII, so this is the perfect opportunity to play the first game.
  • *passes out from nosebleed* Too much excitement!
  • Awesome. This'll probably end up been the last title I pick up for my PS3. A great end to a great system.
  • I was just at Disneyland YESTERDAY and kept mentioning how much I missed playing KH to my GF and cousin. This is a sign from the Gods...
  • it was only a matter of time before they officially announced a localisation and i'm glad they finally have, now i can finally playone of the only KH game i've been unable to play KH Re: CoM, pre-order for me definitly
  • I love you.
  • Been waiting a long time for this. I have a question though and if somebody could send me a private message to me that would be great. Do the Final Mix versions have English spoken for the Story? Cause I don't speak not understand Japenese. Thanx.
  • KH HD 2.5 Remix will hit PS3. There not going give us 1 collection than out the other on PS4. KH 3 may be on PS4. It will be Exclusive too.
  • Well, this gives me a chance at another go with kh1. I borrowed a copy from a friend, and it froze right after the final boss. Also had other various issues throughout. So I'll just pick dis one up when it shows.
  • Do want!
  • Japan gets it first T_T *sniff*
  • Am I the only one who's disappointed? KH1 obviously is great, but cutscenes and a card game aren't exactly what I had in mind for an HD collection. I completely expected 1 and 2 to be together. I'm guessing it's a story-related thing, but I have no interest in paying forty bucks for this. Hopefully I can just pick up KH1 on the PS Store. And KH2 whenever that comes out.
  • Could anyone please tell me what the hype is all about? Unless I've missed something completely, isn't this series main audience children?
  • Best news ever :O
  • #42 Ah No!!!!!! Kingdom Hearts has a Fanbase. People who played the games as kids are now Adults. Besides its a popular Franchise. Its clear you have never played KH. So just don't comment.
  • Is this a psp version then? I actually thought KH1+2 were on their way and got ridiculously excited, ive given up hope on KH 3 because I believe square enix no longer have teams with enough talent/passion/desire to create a truly new magnificent game, theyve failed epicly by trolling ff13 the worst rpg EVER with 3 versions, and ff14.
  • So many happy people willing to pay for KH, so what was the fuss about the PS4 not having backwards capability?
  • #45 PPL wanting to trade in their PS3 for cash toward PS4, but still want to play PS3.
  • @#45 That is not finalized. They are working on that program that lets you play games all the way back to ps1. I forget the name began with a G I believe.
  • Where is Kingdom Hearts 2?
  • 3==================D But why CoM and not 2? I have yet to play 2 :(
  • Kingdom hearts 2 will be in remix 1.5/2 because they can make more munny that way. Also i don't if it's been addressed but 358/2 days was a DS game....a DS game....made to fit a 256 × 192 screen....imagine blowing that up to 1080p. Anyways...BRING IT ON! I never got around to playing CoM on console, only GBA. We get to battle Vexen and the likes in glorious HD.
  • How much you wanna bet they put a god damn trophy in there for beating Sephiroth in Olympus Coliseum....that s.o.b is one boss fight I dont wanna do again lol
  • FUCK YEAH! been waiting for this for sooooo long:D
  • Kingdom Hearts is THE reason why I stayed away from Xbox...! And I definitely HAVE to get this as soon as it comes out in Australia!! :D
  • OMG
  • I hope they make the Oblivion keyblade stronger in FM cause it was actually weaker than Divine Rose in the PS2 version.
  • i want Kingdom hearts 1 and 2 though :(
  • - - _____/
  • So shitty that I don't get to play 358/2 Days. The reason I wanted a re-release was so I could play all the KH games I missed out on due to never owning a NDS. A 3 hour movie is a bit of a cop-out. They better not make Coded into a movie for the 2.5 re-issue.
  • YEEES!!!I'm love this game on ps2
  • http://www.khinsider.com/news/KINGDOM-HEARTS-HD-1-5-ReMIX-Trophy-List-Revealed-3235
  • I'm SO getting this! My PS2 disk doesn't want to read half of the time... Good thing Blurays can last longer than DVDs!
  • I'm SO excited for Kingdom Hearts to return with a remake. I've been waiting for years! I'm SO buying this!!!
  • Never played a Kingdom Hearts game, hopefully I'll like it when I get it.
