News ► Playstation JP reveals KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 + 2.5 Main Menu

[DarkosOverlord]

Fairly certain in this case Days is on top because it's 1.5 + 2.5. They're doing them in that order.

No story wise, Days in-between com and kh2, not release.

Well then put BBS at the top.

That pretty much seals it. The story-wise reasoning has no place here, for BbS it's not the first one.
(...also Days "contains" CoM, begins before and finishes after it.)

Release order IS king though, if only just because it was the only choice for too long. KH it's not Assassin's Creed where the story updates yearly. There's too much of a span between games.
I can't accept an order that basically tells me "yeah don't play the first KH, in about 10 years a prequel will come out, play that first for a better experience" (also really debatable)
"We're not talking BbS - KH1, we're only talking Days - KH II". Well, I then think an order that doesn't apply well to every situation is inferior by definition.
Release order is the only one always available, I'd say it is the correct one.

Right! I didn't think about BBS not being on top.

Well, then I continue to say "KH2 first, then Days" or simple that they're interchangeable - but KH2>Days preferably.

Can somebody see if it is possible to import save files from PS3? What is written on the bottom right corner (next to the triangle button) ?

That's information about how Disney owns the copyright and that it's illegal to upload the soundtrack via the PS4 recording feature or something like that. 2.8 has the same thing.

 

[Alpha Baymax]

I like the nostalgic throwback to the original video game covers of these titles. Give's a feel of authenticity and "definitive version" to each of the titles displayed.

 

[catcake]

Looks surprisingly good, especially after the cover. Nice!

 

[Zapt]

Looks pretty great! was expecting to be like 2.5 and 1.5 but i was surprised!

 

[Xera Highwind]

Can anyone translate what it says by the triangle at the bottom?

that just the copyright stuff for disney

I know it's probably not very likely, but I'm still hoping these share the same trophy lists are the PS3 versions. Don't wanna redo all of the tedious ones like the gummi ship nonsense. Either that, or the new ones have to be a lot easier.

 

[Muke]

I'm hoping they'll fix the fish faces. What else is there to improve upon graphically?
(just wishful thinking, they probably won't)

they definitely won't. that would require so much work and this collection definitely has a micro-budget

even 0.2 had fish faces.

Well,if you look at it purely from the way the overall narrative is told, it makes sense. Could you imagine someone who hasn't played ANY of the titles to go in starting with BBS, simply cause it chronologically happened first?

Along with that, Days doesn't seem to have any explicit transitional connection to other titles. None of them, except for KHII, that is, which, if it were ordered after it, would be rather out of place, when KH2 has transitional connections to everything after it BUT Days.

But I digress

You could go into Birth by Sleep without playing any other game before hand, you just wouldn't get the references to the previous games. Hell, I'd love to meet someone that found out about Roxas', Xion's, and Namine's suffering through blank points; the rest of the series they slowly find out what happened to all of these characters, and it'd be super cool to see that the main character of Kingdom Hearts is the little boy from the game you just played. I'd recommend doing it that way if anything! I wish I had a do-over just so I could experience what that is like, it sounds like I'd actually appreciate all of the games more if I had done it that way

 

[Absent]

I'm on Team KH 2/358 Days.

The genius of 2's prologue is being confused alongside Roxas. The confusion and anger he feels just makes the payoff greater in the 6TH day.

 

[ultima-demi]

I'm hoping they do the same with what they did with the FF12 remaster and replace all the Lower quality models with their HQ ones.

 

[Hirokey123]

Looks beautiful and there you go pretty much confirms at this point exactly what Nomura said, this is the best order to experience it and if they wanted to it be the other way Days would of been put after KH2. Roxas's opening is just narratively so much better with Days than without. Because Days doesn't actually show the transition rather deliberately the last thing you see is Roxas running through twilight town meeting up friends for a possible beach trip, an immediate cut from Roxas laying on the ground beaten up and crying for his lost life. The mystery of the start is still very much intact and the only real difference is instead of the narrative introducing and spending several hours having you get to know characters that will all almost inexplicably be dropped from the plot for 90% of the game. Now the narrative is just having you watch the final sad week and giving various conclusions/semi-conclusions to tales you've been watch unfold for an entire other game.

Not saying there is anything wrong with release order just that release order was ultimately a failed experiment that does more to sour the overall experience KH2's narrative can offer.

feel like im the only one in this site that won't buy 1.5+2.5 on ps4, im big kh fan but im not gone waste money on games i already have

Eh, I personally don't mind upgrading especially with all the trouble my PS3 has been giving me lately.

In regards to comments about "fish faces" Muke, what did you mean by that exactly? What's a fish-face in KH? lol

Spoiler Show

Models with low-res 2D textures on their faces (lips and eyes) which just look ugly, KH1 was filled with them. The mouth flaps open and shut like a robot, the body can only move in very particular ways, etc.
