Holding Square Enix to the standards they set for themselves is not "looking for perfection," it's...holding Square Enix to the standards they set for themselves. They've marketed the game in a certain way and it's reasonable to expect them to meet the expectations they've established within their consumer base. It's good business. This whole idea that companies are completely unaccountable to their clientele is BS; we keep them in business, they do right by us and not lie to our faces. And people have a right to be upset when they fail on their end. Simple.
Moreover, the video is apparently aimed at downplaying fan expectations (rather than tearing apart Square Enix) and doing a good job of asserting that KH REMIX is not, in fact, the best HD game re-release on the market (as many fans have purported). It's not making wild claims or being ostentatious and cynical for the sake of it (as I often am). It's a great informational piece for people who care about any of the things it sheds light on.
EDIT for chaser responses
And that is relevant to a review of a Kingdom Hearts game how?
Unless you do notice it, like this reviewer did. Are you implying it would be a worse game if they fixed this and made it so all players could enjoy the game equally? I have friends who are really good at spying the most insignificant flaw in HD presentation...most of the time I do think they're nitpicking, but some of the issues addressed in this video could really detract from someone's enjoyment of the game. It's not unfair for them to call Square out on it and ask them to do a better job next time.
So they just decided to be lazy with it and that's OK? Good critique. If only every game studio could get away with that (I mean, excepting the ones that already do...).
Except that it uses screenshots, facts and comparisons, etc to like review the in-game content. So how does it not qualify as a review? What does any other review do differently, besides pointing out what that specific critic liked or did not like about such and such a product? Moreover, what worthwhile review wouldn't address discrepancies between what was marketed to the audience and what was actually sold to them? That's the first thing any attentive critic picks up on; was the "Evil Dead" remake actually the scariest horror movie ever put to screen, yes or no?
I actually agree with Alexis on this one...this guy who made this video, I know him. He's from italy and is a avid Kingdom Hearts fan, when I asked him about the game and what he thought about it, he said it was good and he was enjoying himself, but there were some kinks in it that made him a bit sad that they didn't fixed, but he did like it.
So I mean it's like any game out there, there's somethings that weren't fixed, but it's still good overall. I mean the things he mentioned, doesn't bother me; I'm still going to buy it because of Final Mix, but it would of been awesome if they fixed them, but they didn't... and if you guys remember, and I KNOW this sounds like every excuse you hear all the time when something isn't right, this game is coming out for the PS3 and in 2013... updates anyone?
I'm used to being told something before it comes out and then when it comes out, it's far from perfect but it works, but I never have problems with a game. The Sims 3 is my example since EA says something that it's awesome, then the game comes out and you play it and sometimes there's technical problems or something small happens because of the new update... it happens. Nothing is perfect...
Also... it was the japanese version he was analyzing, and there were some points in the video where he said Japanese version, so it could be possible that for the english version there will be some things fixed, but you know that's optimistic thinking...
Okay now back to the topic before this gets ugly:
I really want to know, is the triangle used like too much in combat like in KH2?
