Oh don't worry! I'm not really all that upset. It's just a bit irritating that I posted a stupid, silly joke and people started rationally picking it apart like it was a serious theory or something. People need to learn to wind down a bit sometimes lol.

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

No all his points are clear and right. It wouldn't make much sense. I get the joke you were going for, but I would happen because of what Chuman stated.

Someone... says I'm right?

Sorry, I just have that bone in my body that always makes me want every detail of everything to be perfect.

I actually like the sound of Recollection as a title, since in a way it's recollecting the events that transpired.

also it's a pun and i like puns

DON'T WORRY PRIJO I LIKED YOUR JOKE

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

Nintendo of America is having a Nintendo Direct tomorrow (separate from their press conference), if the rumor is true, this could be one of the places where they could talk about it as they are talking about Wii U.

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

Lol I liked the joke too

I'm not getting excited unless I actually see it officially confirmed. If anything, I'd expect an announcement like this to hit TGS first.

I enjoyed that joke, Prijo. And I think it actually would make a nice title.

Aye. Considering that Re:coded was a bit of a pun on the game itself being recoded for another system, Re:collection would fit as well.

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

Pretty sure the rumor says it's called Remembrance. Something just crossed my mind, though. Would this be a collection of Final Mixes?

Wow I hadn't really thought of that. That's a very good question. I can't imagine why they wouldn't use the final mix versions other than out of sheer laziness. But I mean if they're making an HD collection in the first place then laziness is clearly off the table.

Also thanks to everyone for appreciating the joke lol.

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

Considering Kingdom Hearts Final Mix was made using the English voices in the first place(And Birth by Sleep Final Mix, too, for that matter), I don't see why they shouldn't make it a Final Mix collection.

We might get a confirmation as early as today, Nintendo's pre-E3 2012 Direct Conference is later today. 3PM PT, what time is that in Eastern time? Like 8ish right?

All 3 Final Mixes have the English voices, that is like half the reason they made them. The Japanese audience prefer the English voices.

But yeah, it would be dumb of them not to make the Final Mixes HD. If not they would essentially be making incomplete games HD which would be silly. The only thing is there are numerous cutscenes in the second Final Mix that need translated, and a couple more in BBS, too.

It would make sense that any collection would be Final Mix games since the spoken language is English, but you have a point about those cutscenes. If they did release them for audiences outside of Japan, I wonder if they would just translate the subtitles and leave the voices in Japanese, or if they would actually get the English cast to redo the lines. There is also the fact that all of the menu text and commands are still in Japanese, but I wouldn't think that would be terribly difficult to change.

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

If they do make a KH HD collection, I would almost certainly believe that it would have the Final Mixes. Every other HD Collection has included the "best" version of their games in the HD Collection (e.g MGS had Substance and Subsistance, Silent Hill 2 had Restless Dreams, etc.). Plus, Nomura himself even said that the Final Mixes were the definitive versions.

If this collection turns out to be true, I would be very happy if it was done right. But thats just the thing... I'm expecting Square to go and do something ridiculously stupid like re-recording the KH1 voice actors that have since been replaced for consistency. I can see it now, its a nigh perfect port of KH1 FM, but it has no Billy Zane/David Boreanaz/Mandy Moore etc. I wouldn't mind re recording some of the dialogue using Epcar and the other voice actors at all, I just want there to be an option to use the old voices since they are pretty nostalgic to me, even if they aren't really perfect.

Spoiler Show

Billy Zane actually IS pretty perfect

In any case, I already own and have beaten KH1 Final Mix, KH2 Final Mix, KHBBS Final Mix, and Re: Chain of Memories. I'm interested in Days, since I haven't been able to play it, but it wont be the end of the world if this collection isn't exactly what I hope for.

I really hope that they wouldn't get them to redo the voices, RE: Chain of Memories felt weird with younger-looking Sora having that deeper voice(Also, lip-syncing was way off, but whatever).

Another thing, you think they would voice all the scenes in Days or leave them as text bubbles?

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

My two cents (postive)

Now let's think:

If a HD collection is offical, a few touch ups will be made, like the Final Mix content (if), improve graphics to 1080p and voice all the new scenes in japanese and English. Now before anyone esle say the Voice acting in KH1 is perfect, let me remind you that nobody is perfect or flawless.

Now all 6 games could be in the collection or just three, end of the day, it's a collection, hell KH2 could have been the only game getting a HD make-over.

That's my two cents in a postive way without attacking SE. Have a good day/afternoon/morning.

 

[Sora2016]

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

They should definitely re-record for consistency's sake in my opinion. It's freaking weird how Sora's balls dropped during the couple days in between KH1 and CoM. Also I am not overly fond of Sora's KH1 voice anyway, it sounds too young for a 14 year old.

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

if I recall right, that scene in BBSFM'S Secret ending where riku looking down at Roxas and Xion wasn't in Days right? that's one more evidence that supports this rumor.

Why would that be proof of the rumor? That makes no sense at all.

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

its Grass's theory on the BBSV2 just might be an HD collection

 

[billyzanesucks]

Re: HD Remaster/Remake Discussion Thread

Why would that be proof of the rumor? That makes no sense at all.

I assume it's because Nomura said that "A Fragmentary Passage" meant the story of BBSV2 was divided into several pieces, and the additional content in the supposed HD collection could be related to that.
