The music has been rearranged with live instruments and players can also obtain a special PS3 custom theme for each of the three titles they complete within the game.
KINGDOM HEARTS FINAL MIX has been completely remastered. The English dub used in the original FINAL MIX has been replaced with the Japanese voiceover. The abilities Zero EXP and Combo Master which prevents you from earning experience and allows you to perform combos without interruption have been added. Special actions both in an out of battle such as "Talk" are now utilized by pressing the Triangle button. Magic and Summon commands are now separate for easier access.
KINGDOM HEARTS Re:Chain of Memories now has an updated user interface with top image quality. However, asides from the previously mentioned updated models and textures, PS3 trophy support and custom theme, there are no additional changes.
KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days, albeit not playable, has instead been transformed into a 2 hour and 50 minute series of cutscenes available to watch within Theater Mode. Many scenes that were originally text-based in the DS version are now full-voiced and rendered in high resolution. The scenes are organized in chapters, to give the player the option to view specific scenes at their pleasure. Roxas's Diary will be available at the very beginning, and the Secret Reports written by other members of the Organization will be so after completing the viewing.
