With the recent announcement of KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX- in western territories, the time has come for promotion to begin, and what better way to start it off than with a trailer? Originally featured at PAX East 2013 in Boston, Massachusetts, this trailer may seem familiar to those of you who've followed along since the title was originally announced at last year's Tokyo Game Show!
This North American launch trailer is exactly the same as the Jump Festa 2013 trailer, albeit with English text and voice acting. Gameplay remains in Japanese, though of course the game itself will be entirely in English.
Subtitles are available as Closed Captions.

I feel nostalgic and stuff.
NICE! sounds like they kept the same audio of young Haley for KH 1 Sora. Was worried they would get someone else to try and imitate the voice since they said they were re recording everything.
Well, wasn't this a pleasant surprise? Good to actually hear they are using the original voices for KH1 FM. Only thing that gets me is the Xion's inconsistent voice. I mean, first Alyson, then Hayden in DDD, and now Alyson again? Make up your mind, SE. Does not matter though, they both did a good job.
Xion had only one freaking line in DDD, so it shouldn't be that much of a bother. Also in comparison to, say, Ansem the Wise who changes his voice actor even more often due to Sir Christopher Lee not always being available.
This looks great, and did anyone else notice that the Phantom secret boss got a make over?
Ive replayed the japanese version of this trailer so many times in the past few months that now the english voices all sound foreign to me... guess i'll just brake the replay button on this one too :biggrin:

Final Mix colors for the Heartless. ;)

You're about a decade late xD

Lol I didn't say it was. I mean, at this point in time, it's safe to assume Lee won't be back again, so I just think it's odd that they managed to get Hayden for only one line in DDD, and not this game.
Oh gawd the nostalgia! ;A;
Actually happy to see Stoner playing xion again.

It was probably a contract thing for DDD. My guess would be Hayden's contract for the KH series says basically they have to hire her for a project every x number of years or she gets out of the contract, so it may have been a quick hire to make sure they still had her under contract when Kairi has a big role coming up in the future.
This trailer has made me so happy~ OH THE NOSTALGIA. C:
I always thought that PAX was more aimed at mainstream games...
And so solves the mystery of Alyson Stoner's blog post~
No lie I nostalgia'd.
The more news that comes in, the more excited I'm getting. :D
I wonder how Alyson is going to do the Xion scream this time.
JESSE YOU'RE SO GOOD AT VA WORK NOW.
that's still Paul St. Peter as Xemnas right?

I'd say it's more likely that Hayden couldn't voice Xion because she's working on a television series right now. While she was easily able to get into the studio to record one or two lines for DDD and BBS, she was missing for Re:CoM because she was working on Heroes and I imagine that there were likely studio time conflicts.
I think it is more that she already did the DS version and they maybe maintained had high quality versions of that stuff so they had her just do the new stuff rather than re-record everything with Hayden.
Why does Miss Allyson sound like she's lost her voice? :3 I almost didn't recognize her at first!

Her Xion voice always sounded like that, also she was 15 when she recorded days, she's 19 now.

Maybe it is because I've been watching Young Justice but she sounds the same to me xD
Oh man, now that I've listened to the Japanese VA's I don't like the English ones at all. I don't understand what did the Japanese liked so much about them that they actually included them in the Final Mixes.
I wished there was a Japanese voice option... Atleast I hope they do it for 2.5. Aqua in English is good but the Japanese VA is way better IMO.

I thought all of Days was/is re-recorded.
I thought all of Days was/is re-recorded.
They recycle already recorded audio, so the actors don't have to rerecord those same lines. It was very obvious in the Japanese version during some scenes...

I'm not sure. On the Japanese version, the delivery of lines in the old scenes sound nearly exactly the same.

xD The Japanese voices are charming and perfect, but I think the Japanese like the English for the same reason we like the Japanese xD
So happy for seeing it and nowm the wait for the Fall truly begins.
now this takes me back
will there be a demo at pax?

There is no news on that.
*Watches the trailer, gets totally mindblown even though doesn't have a PS3*
I WANT A PS3 NOW!!!!

I don't understand how you like the Japanese voices so much.
Seriously, I was watching Cyberman65's playthrough of KH1.5 and I was HORRIFIED at how bad the Japanese voice acting was. It does not match up to the quality of the English dub. The biggest example so far is the Queen of Hearts. She sounds way too freakin' calm in the Japanese dub.
now this takes me back
will there be a demo at pax?
Doubt it. If the trailer still shows Japanese text during gameplay, I doubt that they'd have an English ready demo up.
Man i want this SO BAD!!!!
I think it's mostly when you compare the trailers that the voice acting seems better in Japan. The trailers are made originally for the Japanese version of the games and so they take the lines that sound very well done in the Japanese versions and use them in the trailer. Unfortunately, if that scene is not as good in the English version (in this trailer, most notably Leon), it's still thrown into the English trailer instead of them opting out for different lines.
okay now i must say:

Hey David Boreanaz probably just didn't try very hard!
Simply wonderful, indeed!
It was just everything that came up, kinda~
Lovely trailer :)

--> though I have to admit that I do not find it more
spectacular than the "older" versions; I guess that'll change
soon enough ;)
[video=youtube;Ef31XPs3-0s][/video]
(You all have to know I was going to post this video. Guys, Jesse McCartney needs to release a new song so we can mark 1.5 with it like past releases. KH2 was "Right Where You Want Me" Days was "Body Language" I think...Birth By Sleep was "Shake" ;A;)
Hey David Boreanaz probably just didn't try very hard!
David is a dork though, so I bet he was trying and was like "well, okay."
| David is a dork though, so I bet he was trying and was like "well, okay." |
He was channeling his inner brooding Angel for the role of "Leon".
[FONT=Verdana]Hahaha. I love how this video came out and rid us all of our voice actor fears in one foul swoop. I bet they did that on purpose. LOL. Thank you for not leaving us in the dark about this, Disney and Square:) I truly appreciate it ^_^[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]I'm so glad to know they kept Zane for Ansem, Sora's younger voice, and Boreanaz for Leon. Ahh, the nostalgia… Now I can rest easy, and eagerly anticipate the release of this game. Woot!
And honestly, I'm glad they kept Alyson for Xion. After hearing the Days scenes so many times, it would have been weird without her. And though I originally thought she sounded a bit off in this trailer, I like what she's doing here. She seems to be voicing Xion a bit breathier(?), which is sort of similar to how Namin[/FONT]
é
[/FONT][FONT=Verdana] sounds. Appropriate, since Kai, Nami, and Xion are all the same girl more or less.
Anyway, I highly approve of everything going on here, and can't wait to get my hands on this game![/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana] [/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana]Although… is it me, or does Roxas sound a bit too much like Ventus, when he’s questioning Axel? Roxas’ voice sounded a bit higher pitched to me, but maybe I just need to listen to it again.[/FONT]
This puts away fears of Sora and Billy Zane being redubbed
Can you honestly believe that there are people in the YouTube comments who actually think that they redubbed it with Richard Epcar?
Then again, they are YouTube comments so I guess I shouldn't expect much intelligence going on there.
AHHHHH! Xion''s theme remastered! Soooo Goooooooooooood!
Shiiiit! Now I don'¡t know what to do. SOme youtubers are starting to upload Re:Com and 358/2 days with subs in english with original japanese voices. So my choices are, start watching that now, or just wait until September to watch them in full HD with english voices :(((((
It doesn't matter as I don't have PS3 , so I would have to see it through youtube :(
What would you ddo guys? Look Japanese voices in Youtube, or just wait until September (so that means stop playing Re:Com until then) ? :( The only inconvenient of english voices is just...I hate Donald and Goofy voices, seriously xDDDDDD
PS: You know if there was theater mode in KH Re:Com? I ask that because last day I found a video, with all the cutscenes , with both stories (Sora & Riku) mixed together as the facts were happening, and was looking really good.
That's the video that I mean.
Kingdom Hearts I [The Movie] - Part 3: Chain of Memories - YouTube
I know that it's done by one user, but...scenes are well mixed, if I remember fine.
i think Im going to need a big box of tissues for the days cutscenes.

lolwhut
No but seriously, Haley, David, and Hayden are Sora, Riku and Kairi and the Disney voices in English triumph over anything that Japanese version has. There's reason why Nomura chose Haley, he is the chosen one after all.
:tongue:

The English voices are technically the "original" as well. The original Final Mixes switched over to the English dub so that Japanese players would be able to experience that.
I'll admit, part of me was hoping for some redub in KHI, and Miss Panittiere in Days. However, I also can't see Xion without Stoner, so what can I do, eh? Not that any voice acting is bad. I'm just curious in wondering what it would have been like, whether good or bad.
I am excited. Still holding off on playing any of the games until this releases in the Fall.

I'm playing it right now in PCSX2 with Tales of Symphonia in Dolphin as well. But I will stop until I get HD cutscenes. You know, gameplay is better than scenes (because they were not rendered :()
Look that comparison mate.
[SPOILER=Gameplay]
[/SPOILER][SPOILER=Cutscene]
[/SPOILER]So playing the game with beautiful dialogue scenes, and then the most important part is just blurry and you can nearly see anything :(
For 358/2 Days HD, are they going to fix the lip sync? The same for Re Chain of Memories?
i think Im going to need a big box of tissues for the days cutscenes.
You'll also need 3 hours to do absolutely nothing but watch 359/2 Days Cutscenes if you plan on getting the Trophy

G-get it? Like... VA and... I'll just show myself out.

They should be, I hope.

Or you can just play the scene and walk away to do something else for the next 3 hours!
That makes sense. I dunno about you, but I've always felt that the voice acting in the Japanese versions were... sub-par. Some of the voices don't fit (Goofy in particular sounds ridiculous), and those same voices are the ones I hear in basically every anime ever. Methinks Japan needs some VAriety.
Well the original game was released over 10 years ago. Perhaps for the younger VAs, this kickstarted their careers? Considering also everyone's popularity and talent, it's no surprise that we may hear them more commonly nowadays.

Awww xD
9 hours. 9 hours this has been online and not one member of site staff told me. I am furious with you people!!! Making me grumpy watch the trailer >:|
I don't want to speak too much about the voice acting, (might apt for an editorial about that) but here's my two cents.
The quality in Kingdom Hearts's English voice cast is GIGANTIC; soundalikes, celebrities, original voices like James Woods; it's just fucking huge. Especially in Kingdom Hearts 1 (which still may be David and Haley's best work) with the celebrities.
But it's inconsistent. KH2 fell apart in the voice acting department; voice switches, awkward phrasing, bad writing, and bad vocal direction. (Kairi was just not Kairi)
The Japan cast, while worse in my opinion (some of those japanese voices, I mean come on Hades) is consistent. Sora's voice still sounds the same. They still have their original voice cast.

The way I always pretty much saw it (minus a few characters here and there) are that the FF characters sound better in Japanese (because the English cast in KH2 was downright atrocious), the original KH characters I'm pretty ambivalent about since I don't mind them in either language, and the Disney cast is always better in English (since they were originally chosen for those roles and I think Disney does a PERFECT job in their casting offices).

Lol they don't have my number either. I was in chat with them for an hour before I found out by accident.
Lucky I found it then because right after watching it I had to leave the house and wouldn't have seen it until Sunday night.

Hey, Joey! Look! The English trailer for Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX!
I don't know maybe its just the trailer like someone said before. I felt like they just pasted one thing over another. Especially the Leon part was ugh....
I actually agree with this possible scenario because there was a English fandub of the original Japanese trailer that took the same lines in English and it sounded EXACTLY like the NA launch trailer, in others, pretty crappy.
I am actually most excited to play/watch 358/2 days. Its going to be awesome to just be able to watch the entire thing in one sitting in glorious HD. The Axel, Xion, and Roxas relationship during the game is one of my favorite moments in the series.

Too little, too late
I think a big thing most people are ignoring when saying the japanese voices may be inferior is, the comparison is mostly made between the Disney characters...who are quintessentially american cultural creations. Obviously they are not going to sound as good in japanese, that is really just a given, especially when most of the Disney characters are voiced by their original actors, who are usually celebrities or voice actors with tons of experience, whereas Japan probably doesn't "understand" the characters as well and a lot of what made the characters work in the original language will simply be lost. So if you want to compare them it isn't going to stack up favorably 99% of the time, like when a japanese show is dubbed into english. Speaking of which....
Sora, Kairi, and Riku, and all the original characters are all pretty much japanese, so in some cases the voices fit just as well or better than the english VA's. The one I remember that really bothered me was Norio Wakamoto as Xemnas. He's an amazing seiyuu who's voiced a ton of iconic characters, he is pretty much THE villain voice in japan, especially hammy ones, which sounds good on paper, but in my opinion his voice is just way too deep a voice for Xemnas. It sounds wrong.
2:08 >>OMG!! I love you Axel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just love Jessy as Roxas!! I mean...I love Roxas too....There're too many guys to love in Kh franchise!! LoL
Anyways, It's Alyston making Xion's voice isn't?!

Not if you're hardcore like me : )
Looking forward to seeing the English gameplay they'll record later at PAX~
Finally got home and added subtitles to the video.
Looking forward to PAX!
Flippin awesome. Now I just need a PS3.
Also, Roxas voice sounds significantly deeper, no?

Thing is that it's not just the Disney characters. Even hearing SRK in Japanese from KH1 felt weird. They did not sound like they should at all. Granted, Aerith's voice was terrible in KH2 and Cid's was the generic cowboy stereotypical voice, but other than that I overall feel the English and Japanese voices for Final Fantasy characters are on par with each other.
In fact, I started playing Birth by Sleep again after a year and a half of not playing it. And I was surprised at how good some of the voice acting actually is because I remember the community mostly hating them during the earlier trailers. But then I started playing the Japanese copy and I truly felt that the English dub was much better.
And KH3D is the first Kingdom Hearts game since KH1 and COM that I have successfully managed to stay spoiler free until the American release. So I haven't heard any Japanese dub aside from the trailers. When I played KH3D, I thought it was the best vocal performance Kingdom Hearts has ever had. And then I saw some cutscenes in the Japanese dub and I'm like... "they're saying all of their lines the exact same way."
So if I'm to be totally honest, I personally much prefer the English dub over the Japanese dub in the games. I feel like when I'm listening to the Japanese dub that I'm just hearing the same recorded lines from the previous games. Not to try and sound offensive, but acting-wise it's like the actors have a template of different basic emotions and they just switch to said basic emotions depending on the scene. It's almost robotic to be honest. The only real reason I think there's such a big group who think otherwise is because the Japanese trailer are the first voices they hear and thus anything that sounds different they will label as bad.
But hey, that's just my opinion :P

It sounds wrong.
Being Japanese does play a part on it, buuuut, I think for Sora, Kairi and Riku they have such ordinary voices that it really comes to the voice actors' acting skills, and how much the voice directing team understand it. And the people they chose for the English version aren't exactly experienced voice actors, and the Japanese Sora, Kairi, Riku trio...already have experience on their belt by the time KH started and they continued to work on their craft. ...and I think that's why they're so much better at the characters than their English counterparts. For the Disney voices, yeah, definitely, there's some really unusual voices that only sound good in certain languages (though again, it could actually be the person doing the voice is kind of off the mark somehow).
With that said personally, I think Norio Wakamoto's Xemnas rocks and so does Paul St Peter's.
As for my thoughts on the trailer...I dunno, I think Xion's acting is actually pretty good. She sounds a lot older than I remembered, though. I hope they redub her old lines. Jesse McCartney has gone a LONG way. He's really good now. Quinton Flynn's great, too. The scripting is a smidge awkward though.
I am so excited I can't even put it into words! The only thing better than this would be KH3, but I am just ecstatic that they've got another KH game at all! This is my absolutely favorite game series of all time and I will take ANYTHING KH has to offer! SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Yeah, I know, I'm a little obsessed.)
The only thing better than this would be KH3.
What about 2.5 remix? I'm pretty sure that's better.
I wonder if we will get KH3 or another spin-off game first.

There's a chance we may get KHχ, but asides from that then it seems like we're pretty set on course for KHIII (asides from 2.5 of course).
I wonder if we will get KH3 or another spin-off game first.
After 3D's and BBS FM's secret endings...
I bet we'll have Birth by Sleep vol. 2 with Kairi and Aqua as playable characters. Kairi learning how to Keyblade wield properly and Aqua exploring dem worlds in darkness. Meanwhile Sora completing his exam that he didn't yet. Vita title probably.

That's nice, but Nomura has pretty much shot down both scenarios.

Aw that's lame. He's just going to skip all this and finish everything? :(
Or maybe he'll put everything on III without giving any fucks.

That said, Nomura has already said we won't be getting a BBSv2. There is a story there but there are no plans to make a game for it. Also, Sora could really care less about being a master. He only did the exam because of Riku's lingering worries over being worthy to wield the Keyblade and only saw the test/title as a formality. He probably doesn't plan to take the title of master.

Oh I see. lol
I was trying the usual [spoiler] I use over at DissidiaForums but wasn't working, seems I was missing an S. :rolleyes:
About the volume 2 thing, yea, didn't know that. All that BBS ending hype for no game, it makes me a sad panda.
And about Sora being a master, I know he doesn't care but what about Yen Sid? I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted Sora to re-do with other methods.

Yeah, just remember that and it'll work.
There was an unannounced game in development, but it was shelved so we shall never know what it was.
Nah, Sora learned what he needed to from the Realm of Sleep which was the ability to unlock sleeping hearts (among the other things the Dream Eaters taught him.) He probably wouldn't take a test again no matter how much Yen Sid or anybody else convinced him it'd benefit him. xD

But... Wasn't Riku the only one who had gained that ability? For some reason, I was assuming he was the only one because of Yen Sid's words.

No. If Sora hasn't gained the ability he wouldn't have been able to unlock the sleeping world's keyholes. Riku passed because he was the only person to sense the danger that was looming because of Xehanort, returned to the tower, and went into Sora's heart to save him.

Oh, I got it. I thought the ability to unlock sleeping hearts was different from the ability to unlock Sleeping Keyholes, being the first one only granted to someone worthy of the Keyblade Master title.
Edit: Sorry, I just noticed I was going astray from the subject of the topic.
I'm not on the site for a day and this is what I miss? Glad that I saw it before I had to go to work though. It made my day for sure.

That's why I'm hoping they make a CGI movie out of it.
With that type of story, I'd much rather they make it into a tutorial or a game down the road or something. It could be just my want to play as Aqua again as soon as possible, but I'd really hope they not make it into a CGI movie, I don't want the KH series to become part game, part movie from here on out O_O
So glad that Young HJO, Billy Zane, David Boreanaz, and Mandy Moore are back in glorious HD. Looks like they handled this perfectly.
So far so good, though the voices in these trailers are always weird.

Am I the only person that finds playing KH1 and then directly starting Re:Com jarring because his voice suddenly gets older after only like a day in the game world. I actually really wanted soras lines to be rerecorded by hjo just for consistency. I do agree that keeping all of the other voices the same was awesome because the people that replaced them were similar enough but with sora it just annoys me.

It bugged me at first, but I've just gotten so desensitized to stuff like that due to having to deal with that in KH all this time as well as in Japanese games altogether that it no longer bothers me whatsoever.
Um.......will they sell kingdom hearts 1.5 hd remix in Australia
Yes. It was confirmed on the same day as North America and Europe that KH 1.5 will be released in spring
So you can either import or wai........oh right. Southern Hemisphere, so it's about the same time isn't it?

Technically it's about 2 1/2 weeks, and It is a little jarring, but it doesn't really bother me. Especially since kairi still sounds so young.

It took Sora, Donald, and Goofy like 20-ish days to get to Castle Oblivion. (22 days after Roxas is in existence the Org members are ordered to go to Castle Oblivion, and Sora arrives about the same time they do, and everything from when Sora became a Heartless to the ending of KH1 probably took place in less than a few days.) A voice can drop in 20 days.

Oh well, ever since I heard the Japanese I like it better. HJO is awesome, but he can't make the entire game for me.
It's kinda selfish of them to keep the English Voices on the Japanese version of 1.5 while not giving the English version JPN voice overs.
Yeah, go ahead and call me obsessed.... :3

They didn't though. All the reports that stated there would be dual audio in 1.5 were mistranslations. Right from the beginning, they had clarified the English audio from the original Final Mix would be changed back to Japanese for its release.

Hmm for me, it's English for KH1 and Japanese for ReCoM. The English dub was extremely fantastic. The lines were more memorable and Simple and Clean is just more sassier.

It worked...........I think
Glad you're feeling better!
So how about that trailer? Nostalgia punch, right there.
I do find it odd how since 3D, the debut trailer is always just the Japanese trailer overlain with English audio. Weird. Guess everyone's been super busy lately!
The little changes for Days from the original script are really interesting.

I guess it gives them more time to actually work on the game? Send off some sound bytes to 2 people who just place it into the game and done. No chopping bits of the game up, editing them together etc.
Hmm, but when they are showing off a game for your region you want to see the footage from your country's version, you know?
Complete agree. However, I would prefer it this way if it meant they were doing actual work on the game in order for it to be at its very best
Why are there lines through people's names
I just realised I am not the only one...
Aren't the trailers put together by the folks at SENA?

Welcome to the forums NamineXion! The lines through people's usernames means that they've been banned but most of the bans are bots that have been spamming our forums. We try our best to clean/get rid of them.

Yes they are. (even those woefully awful BBS ones we all ragged on)

Exactly why I would prefer them to just paste over the Japanese trailers and focus on completing the game first.

But the people making the trailers are usually different from the people doing the programming and stuff. They usually give the people making the trailers footage to use.

I know and I said that before. Instead of getting them to chop up the game so they can have footage to use, they only have the sound people send over some voices for the trailer.
And with such an early build of the game as this, it certainly wouldn't have been a good decision.

Yes voices can drop in around 20 days, however the ending scene of KH1 has Sora, Donald, and Goofy already in that grassy world where they stumble upon CO. (you know the scene right before sora comes to the cross roads at night) So does that mean his voice dropped in like at most a week or did they walk around that world for 20 days (almost a month) before stumbling on castle oblivion?
Woohoo! Just saw a video of the Xemnas fight from the Japanese version, looks like they didn't add a voice. Hope it stays that way this fall.

Those Days scenes. I'm actually contemplating powering through those 3 hours
Nostalgia galore this year.

I never said they walked through that grassy area for 20 days. I said that everything that went down between Sora becoming a Heartless to reaching the end of KH1 probably happened in a few days and that 20 days is ample time for a voice to drop. Which includes the time while Sora was a Heartless to the end. Also we have no idea how long that grassy field went and for how long. They fade in to them camping and then to Sora finding the castle so anything.
dont get me wrong, im excited kh is finally going hd on ps3 & we're finally getting final mix (which
I've already played..) to the states, but thats the problem..it shouldn't be a "FINALLY". i mean why release it so close the PS4..or maybe its just me..

Mostly because Re:coded was released in late 2010/early 2011 and development for KH3D was full-steam ahead up until it released 2012 and there wasn't any free staff able to work on it until after KH3D. Maybe.
That looks awesome!
Idk if others see it or if its even there, but I think I can see the difference, by their facial expressions and eyes! :3

Yeah, even if they had a few people on the main team having to choose and cut the cutscenes of the game to give to those who work on the trailers, I'd rather they just finish the game itself. By year's end we'll see anything and everything the trailer could have shown us anyways ^_^

Yeah, everything in the game is remastered visually so everything should look better, I can't think of anything that doesn't yet :)

indeed. Appear toy people have only remember her from Camp Rock, and ignore all the good acting jobs she's done.
She was in Camp Rock? I only know her from Phineas and Ferb/Step Up.
Why are people saying Axel, and Xion sound bored?
Well, that's because Xion DOES sound bored (inb4 a bunch of people automatically assume I'm some idiot who only knows her from the Disney Channel crap. Regardless if she's good in other roles or not, she is not good here)
I'll tell you though, I do see really stupid comments about "Sora sounds gayer now" even though it's clearly the exact same recording from the original KH1. Or the comments saying "How dare they re-dub Billy Zane with Richard Epcar in this" even though it's clearly the original dub with Billy Zane (although if people can't even tell, then does complaining about Billy Zane even make sense anymore?)

How can you even judge that from like from all three lines she says in a crappy 2 minute trailer? xD
ROFL I saw the people complaining about Sora. It's really weird and random as I thought people considered HJO's pre-puberty voice the superior voice? xD Also it just shows how completely trivial those Zane-Epcar complaints are. If people can't even tell the difference between the two, or recognize any voice in the trailer for that matter, they have nothing to complain about and shows that hey maybe Epcar really isn't as bad as the Zane-nostalgia makes you think he is.
Why are people saying Axel, and Xion sound bored?
Yeah, I'm not hearing it either...though I can kiiiiiinda see why people think Axel is, since he spoke a bit too slowly in that one line. Personally (not that my opinion matter much), I actually think Stoner's emoting is a lot better than it was in DS Days, but she does sound like her voice dropped a bit.
How can you even judge that from like from all three lines she says in a crappy 2 minute trailer? xD
I'm not judging the whole performance, I'm just judging the lines given. And yeah, they're pretty awkward. And I didn't like her performance in the original game either, so I really don't think this will win me over. It's as if Xion ate KH2's Aerith or something and all the monotone started coming out.
Anyway, I'm just gonna leave this here:
[video=youtube;r7Sdy7wqWhM][/video]
Lines in these trailers are always awkward. In the actual scene they're meant to be in, I'm sure they'll be better.
Hmm... you say that, but I don't think so. It's really only Xion that sounds awkward. Everyone else sounds fine. And considering that she sounded awkward in the original game as well, yeah, I'm sure it's the performance itself.

Well the original game was well...that. It's also been quite some years since that initial performance and she has a lot more voice acting experience under her belt now. I don't expect her to be fantastic, but I wouldn't sell her short so soon.
Also SE is really notorious for crap trailers with bad voice clip pickings. They manage to make everything sound very stilted xD
Also in the end the blame is usually on the voice director. Especially since it is apparently a Japanese voice director on the phone relaying orders to a translator to the recording manager and a part of me doesn't really trust the process that much xD
Anyway, I'm just gonna leave this here
KH has some pretty darn creepy laughs and screams imo Kairi in KH1, Vexen in JPN Re:CoM, Larxene in NA Re:CoM, TAV in BbS during the opening where they don't stop laughing...ever on a repeating track -__-
Hmm... you say that, but I don't think so. It's really only Xion that sounds awkward. Everyone else sounds fine. And considering that she sounded awkward in the original game as well, yeah, I'm sure it's the performance itself.
I can kind of see where people might not like the few lines displayed in the trailer. While I don't think Xion sounded bored, I think it comes from the lack of expression people were expecting in those scenes. In the CO scene where she is with Axel, she isn't yelling but more just speaking a little bit loudly when I think people were expecting a bit more from her there. The other scenes too, while Alyson doesn't sound bad, she was phenomenal either. These are just a few lines though so I'll wait till I see all the cutscenes before making my judgement.
I wonder if they'll use Mickey's new voice actor for the scenes he's in?
Of course they will. Mickey has more lines in this version of Days
Cool. The voice acting is one of the things that makes these games great.
By the way does anyone know if they'll show the different world's cutscenes or just the main story based ones?

It is mainly the main story. If a bit of it takes place in a world, then they will show the scene there (like Agrabah, Wonderland) There are a few really important things skipped, oddly. Like the scene and fight between Saix and Roxas

NO! These games are one of the greatest for Wayne's voice. I'll imagine they will keep every scene with his voice in and only use Bret's for 358/2 days. That being said I hope they'll put in the "Loving Memory" bit in the credits.

They would've been there for a little less than 20 days, since xemnas fought sora day five, so it's about day 7 that they were in that field.
noooooooooo the ones with no sfx and super loud bgm *gross sobbing*
Hey, let's not bag on the bgm. It's the voices that sound bad in the trailers!
She was in Camp Rock? I only know her from Phineas and Ferb/Step Up.
She also did those old Disney channel DVD ads. They were called " Mikes super short show" and she was in the cheaper by the dozen remake and it's sequel, in which she dated Taylor lautner.
I think for action parts (boss battles, minor missions, etc.) don't they just have a screen showing screenshots with captions.
[SPOILER=Screenshot I'm talking about]
Yes, they did.
I didn't mean the battle itself, though, but the scenes before and after which were very key to the story and part of the climax of the game. Also something like Roxas vs Xion should have been given a brief fight scene at the very least considering she was a final boss
Hey, let's not bag on the bgm. It's the voices that sound bad in the trailers!
You...didn't see the Birth By Sleep trailer, did you? The first one they released had VERY LOUD BGM music that drowned out the voices and transitioned awkwardly between songs.

I agree, while I understand the good intentions of the cutscenes, I can't help but feel like with 2 hours and 50 minutes they could have shortened things and added the epic fight scenes. Guaranteed when 1.5 comes out in the US Days is going to be blasted by haters and casual fans alike for being 2 hours and 50 minutes of just calm talking with barely any action :(
I think I'd rather just have had them remake Days on the Ps3 than just leaving out the important parts of days. It would be a lot more enjoyable.
I think I'd rather just have had them remake Days on the Ps3 than just leaving out the important parts of days. It would be a lot more enjoyable.
It would have taken a significant amount of time to do that, sadly. They would have did better making Kingdom Hearts 3 if they had remade Days if that had been the case. Staff even said in an interview they wanted to do it, but they would have been taking double the time to make the remaster and that time is better spent making new games than old ones. :c

Wow, I'd've thought those would be in at least!
But let's remember that they said 70% of the story, and the timing between the full remake of the game being scrapped and now was relatively tight so who's really to say that the lateness of the hour here prevented those scenes from being made. Animation takes a long time after all, even for be scene.
Yes, they did.
You...didn't see the Birth By Sleep trailer, did you? The first one they released had VERY LOUD BGM music that drowned out the voices and transitioned awkwardly between songs.
I'll agree with you about the BBS trailers, but this trailer for KH HD 1.5 Remix is honestly perfect audio-wise. I'm sorry, but if Xion is literally the only character in this trailer that sounds bored to me and everyone else sounds fine, then it's the performance. Not the editing.
Well, I wouldn't call the audio perfect. There was a lot of times during the trailer (I would say every line for KH + Re:CoM) where it had this dull echo effect. Not quite sure what else to call it, but it really annoys me and it does make me go "urg" at the voices.
