KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX- European Fan Campaign Promotional Video!

On April 26th, 2013, Square Enix Europe invited a small group of fans into their office in London to participate in the KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX- Fan Campaign. These lucky individuals were able to catch a sneak peak of not only the game while still in the development stages, but also received the opportunity to be interviewed about the series to be used in a promotional trailer! 

Square Enix Germany's Youtube channel has uploaded the video, which you can view below:

["Hand in Hand" playing in the background]

Attendant 1: It looks amazing–perfect HD update.  

Attendant 2: Visually stunning! I think it was the first--I had that same feeling when the first ones came out on the PS2. 

Attendant 3: It is a game that has come out eleven years ago and suddenly you think that it’s going to be not so great, but then you look at it and it looks like proper PlayStation 3 game. 

Attendant 1: It looks like it was made today. 

Attendant 2: Not many people played Re:Chain of Memories, so it is a brilliant chance for Europeans to finally get the chance to play that game. 

Attendant 4: I’ve played Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 and I’ve played 358/2 Days, but I’ve never played Chain of Memories so that will be good. 

Attendant 1: Being able to play that in 3D because I never got the Japanese one, that will be really fantastic. The scenes look amazing! 
I can’t wait to be able to play them and listen to the soundtrack. 

Attendant 3: To play those battles again, you know, to fight with Sora and other characters–that is something I’m looking forward to the most. 

Attendant 2: I’ve had a look at the Japanese trophy data and I’ve heard one of the trophies is you have to beat the game in 15 hours, so I think I’m going to try and get that first of all. 

Attendant 4: Just getting to play it all again and relive the experience, I guess, except in HD.

Did they redub the game? At around 1:01, he sounds a bit like older Sora. Though that could be just the HD sound or something.

Part of me wishes that I should have tried to go to this, but I'm too camera shy. I don't think everybody was in the video either.

That is Re:Chain of Memories. xD

Oh definitely not. There were 14 attendants and they only used footage from four of them.

It's so refreshing to hear the game with English voices. Wish they showed more of Days though.

This video was so cute, and you could tell the majority of them were looking forward to playing Chain of Memories.

Nah, it was KH FM. It had the old command menu.
They probably used footage from after Sora had superglide.

Also, is the "counter" command new?

Oh you're right. xD

Plus, in Re:CoM you fly with Pooh. I haven't played the KH1 minigames in a while, I forgot about the original one.

That wasn't superglide. What's up with the magic sparkles and him rising in air? That's flying. Are we going to be able to unlock flight in the US version or something?

Counter has always been in the original if you've equipped the Counterattack ability.

Edit: Also, finally some footage of the English command menu.

I have a hunch there will be more trailers, I mean, they only showed 4 out of all the different fans, I doubt the others had nothing as good to say as the 4 they showed so I do believe there will be more ^_^

Really hoping this happens in the US.

We should keep checking SE Germany's Youtube to see when they'll upload the other videos then~

Everyone spoke so fluidly and didn't look like they were nervous at all. I wonder how the recording went!

Yeah, that's one of the things that I noticed as well! It's like they were hired to say all those things haha (which of course isn't the case, but it's just to say: everyone talked very fluidly). The opinions seemed genuine, the gameplay looked amazing so yeah, I definately can't wait to play the game.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there will be more trailers. Notice how it says "Teil 1" at 0:20 (meaning "part 1") =]

We all got interviewed for about 3-4 minutes, so they should manage to find at least something good from all of us. Trust me, I was so nervous in my interview, and I'm a poor talker at the best of times!! But I think I can guess which bits I said fluidly enough that they can use. Fingers crossed =]

Not only that, but Donald and Goofy were there as well, (or at least their health bars were,) so I think it's propably just some in development footage we got here. Because that was definately not in the original KHFM.

That is strange indeed. New addition in the US/EU versions? Can this happen on the JP release? Someone should try it. Where there any khinsider members in the video?

No, not that Ethy. That muddy area in KH 1 where Sora has to find the other Acre Woods characters. Donald and Goofy's health bars are there, and Sora is flying.



It's probably development footage, not the real thing.

It's just so jarring and strange that there's a clip of Sora flying, and Donald and Goofy are there. The game is already done, there's no need for that, it's so strange! It's like if there was a Super Mario 64 re-release trailer and there was a clip of like, friggin' Luigi riding on Yoshi in Whomps Fortress, and they just don't elaborate on it, or why it's there.

How long did they interview everyone for? I'm sure if they even did 10 minutes of interview footage they could find at least 2 minutes of great stuff from everyone ^_^

Well, there are a few things that invalid it. One is the low health of Sora. This area is like, what page 4? That's a fair bit into the game. Another thing is Goofy has only 1 bar of MP.

I really wouldn't look that far into this.
