Kingdom Hearts series producer Shinji Hashimoto announced during a presentation at Paris Games Week that the two previously released remasters featuring several Kingdom Hearts games will be ported to the Playstation 4.
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX will be available March 9th in Japan, March 28th in North America, and March 31st 2017 in Europe!!
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 & 2.5 ReMIX will feature 60fps, much like Dream Drop Distance HD in Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue. Both Kingdom Hearts 1.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMIX will fit onto one disc.
The series being entirely available on one system means those who were initially put off from playing the series before can finally jump in and experience the entire Kingdom Hearts saga. Here's a short summary of what you will be getting when Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX launch on PS4:
In Kingdom Hearts Final Mix HD, Sora is a happy go-lucky 14 year old living on Destiny islands with his best friends, Riku and Kairi. One day his island is destroyed and he finds himself with a giant key called the Keyblade which vanquishes beasts known as the Heartless. Teaming up with Donald Duck and Goofy, the trio travel from world to world to find their friends.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy are making their way through endless fields when they find themselves walking into a gigantic castle filled with trickery and deciet in Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories HD. With cards being the only way forward, Sora must battle numourous foes to get to the bottom of a mystery unlike any other while Riku searches for the truth within himself with the help of an unexpected ally.
Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days HD is a cinematic retelling of a year in the life of Roxas, a Nobody who is brought into Organization XIII. He and his best friends Axel and Xion learn a lot about the Heart, emotions, and the complexities of life as the story features to a thrilling conclusion that leads right into Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX.
Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix HD takes place one year after Kingdom Hearts. Sora is now 15 and is still looking for Riku and Kairi. On top of that, Organization XIII is putting their plans into motion. With the worlds in jeopardy again it's up to Sora, Donald, and Goofy to restore the light.
Like many sagas, the Kingdom Hearts series features a prequel entry to fill in the gaps in the series lore. Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix HD takies place 10 years prior to Sora's first adventure. During this time there were three weilders who's fates were changed forever when Master Xehanort put his plan into resurrecting the χ-blade and retrieving Kingdom Hearts in motion.
And finally Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded HD Cinematics takes place after Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix HD where bugs have invaded Jiminy Cricket's Journal. A digital Sora is tasked with traveling through the Journal to discover the source of the bugs while facing Pete and Maleficent. Re:Coded HD organises the important information from previous games and lines everything up before launching you into Kingdom Hearts HD II.8 Final Chapter Prologue.

Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
This is fantastic news for everyone that missed out. It's a smart move. Unsure if I'll purchase, as I just spent my entire summer replaying the whole series. I'm not sure if it'll be worth it for me, but this is excellent news, especially for those who transitioned over from Xbox in the past or just missed the series in general. It is a few days after my birthday though...
Also, I wonder what this means for KH3's release if anything. It could totally be nothing, but having this and 2.8 come out in the same year as KH3 doesn't seem plausible. I'd imagine this is at least in part being released in order to hold fans over until 2018.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
This is my favorite day of 2016. :'(
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
I'm glad it's finally coming, but why did they cut the life stream during this presentation? Is there any more info?
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
Dear Christmas...
I need a PS4 so badly now.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
Holy shit, you guys have no idea how long this article has been sitting waiting to be published. I think ever since E3 2015 it's been bumped up every event but never published lol.
So glad it's finally out there in the open, and I'm relieved to be able to play Kingdom Hearts again <3
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
I'm probably getting that version as well, although it does feel like a little waste of money now to have got the PS3 versions, lol.
What's with the trophies? If you have them already in the PS3 variant will they be recognized or do you need to/can earn them anew in the PS4 port?
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
IT'S HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :DDDDDDDDDDDDDDD It's finally happening! :) I'll finally be able to play the ReMixes on my PS4~
But it looks like they aren't coming to the Switch...
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
Probably won't buy it unless it's a super cheap price. Already played through all the games I wanted to play.

You keep them. They count together for both systems. If you already got a platinum, you can't get another one.
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
1.5 and 2.5 on PS4
Sora DLC for World of Final Fantasy
FFXV Omen trailer
Litten's final evolution confirmed Fire/Dark
Today is a good day
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
This really looks amazing, but I have two questions:
1. Will this be in 60fps?
2. Will I be able to transfer my PS3 trophies to a PS4?
I am so stoked my dudes
Re: Kingdom Hearts 1.5/2.5 Coming to Playstation 4!
Yes it is in 60fps.
No details on trophies yet.

Hey, Fudge...you obviously haven't seen the new Olympus screens yet... :D

Holy crap, it's early in the morning and I can't keep up with all these announcements! I'm happy this was announced and now, more than ever, do I need to get a PS4 Slim.

*computer suddenly slow* *slowness aggravates hypeness*
Please fix the loading issues.
Please fix the Xemnas glitch.

(Granted, those might be one-and-the-same.)
This is amazing. I'm so happy this is happening. Finally, the entire Kingdom Hearts series will be on a single platform (with the exception of Unchained Chi, but that's the whole reason Back Cover is a thing, so technically it's still the entire series). They're really treating the KH community next year. 2017 is the year of KH. 2.8, 1.5+2.5 Remaster, the world orchestra, "year round KH news" according to Nomura. Holy shit I am so ready.
I actually hope they don't fix the glitches. Because then I'll feel the urge to buy these again and play through them all again, and I really, really don't want to -_-
But at least this announcement will finally end people asking for it.
Can this day be known as the "Day of Kingdom Hearts Hype" from now on? Thanks.
Wow..
I prolly won't since I have the PS3 remasters, that's enough for me. But I'll consider getting 'em if my PS3 ever breaks, but I doubt it will for years. ^^
But this is EXCELLENT news for a friend of mine that I've been trying to talk into getting a PS4 so she can join me in KH3 later; now she doesn't have to buy a PS3 too!
OP updated with logos and images.
Sorry that took forever, around the OMEN trailer part of the FFXV live stream my internet took a massive dive and I've not recovered.
Can this day be known as the "Day of Kingdom Hearts Hype" from now on? Thanks.
I'm hoping it'll have cross-save or at least share the same trophy lists as the PS3 versions so I can continue my adventures without having to start over from scratch!
My whole body spazzed out seeing this! Yes! YYEEEEESSSSSS!!!! Such a long wait!
Are there games where trophies don't get shared? I mean, it'd be weird if you could get the same trophies twice...
I was checking the KH facebook page and them... Look at this. They especifies that Days is cinematic, but not re:Coded. Maybe it is now playable?
^
Huh…
Huh…
Weeellp, I hope it is. But I won't be heartbroken if not. :D

Plenty of games have multiple trophy lists for one game.

Nah, Re:coded ain't playable
Waaaaaaaaaaait, so you can basically get two platinum trophies for the same game?
By the lords, that's stupid. >:

Yes. Heck, even the GOTY edition of The Witcher 3 has a brand new trophy list. Same goes for the PS4 versions of Resident Evil 4-6 and Revelations 2 (the latter has separate lists for PS3, PS4 and PS Vita).
Square Enix games tend to feature cross-save and shared trophy lists though. When they released Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster on PS4 they updated the original PS3/PS Vita list to also include PS4 and be cross-save compatible. I'm hoping they do the same for these games! I just don't feel like doing everything over, again!
Some games like this share trophies, others do not. It is more common that they don't than when they do, but for the sake of my poor trophy list I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they sync them together.

Or companies can get double or triple profits from trophy hunters.
It's not really profitable for the company since it's cross-buy, but you can get three separate platinums for Sound Shapes. You just have to beat the entire game on one platform then sync your save with the other two and bam, three easily platinums.
Telltale games do it for their digital and physical games. Because they're extremely easy to complete, separate trophy lists entice trophy hunters to fork out money for both versions.

This is certainly true. The trophy audience isn't that huge, but it is definitely a selling point for a number of people. Plus, I'm sure it's easier for the devs just to have a new trophy list rather than sync it all with the old one. My trophies are still a disaster though.
uhhh, did anyone notice that in the english trailer for this, there is a kairi line/delivery that we've never heard of?

Exactly.
It's also a BIG selling point for remasters. As you can see in my sig, I'm playing Lego Harry Potter on Ps4. My very first two platinums on Playstation 3. The trophy lists are separate, and even a little bit different (RIP bronze trophy for leaving your controller idle for 5 minutes) and here I am, going to wind up with 4 trophy lists devoted to Lego Harry Potter.

Huh...and it kind of sounds like Alyson not Hayden.
I swear if SE forces me to get BBS platinum again by giving me trophies while playing through the game, I'll fucking cry.
I'LL CRY, YOU HEAR?
I don't have a problem with the trophies. They're just bragging rights.
Also and yeah we know it comes with the territory...
People thinking this is affecting kh3 or delaying or seemingly making bad long title jokes....
I need a break, I just want 1.5 and 2.5 back
Wellp, guess it's my turn to platinum this… heck of a game.

Cross-save is probably a bigger selling point than "look trophy hunters, we made a new list for you!" though.
WTF IS HAPPENING TODAY THERE IS SO MUCH NEWS OMFG!!!?!?!?
I am VERY excited to see these games getting ported to PS4. This means that we will have all Kingdom Hearts titles (minus Unchained) on at least one current gen system. It will be easier to bring in new fans and fans that haven't played the games in years this way and just makes the overall franchise a little more consistant instead of having all the games on different systems. My friends that have been wanting to get back into the series can FINALLY play the games now, and it being 60 FPS is a very nice plus!
As for the trophies, some games synch their trophies between versions and others don't. I really would rather not do all of that over again (*flashbacks of lingering will and the data battles on KH2 critical mode*...*shivers*) but I still want the PS4 ports regardless.
Huh...and it kind of sounds like Alyson not Hayden.
I'm 90% sure it's Hayden, and that it's an alternate line that they never used, more specifically I think it's the line at the end of KH that Kairi says during the montage that was never localized. Now I can see why they didn't use it.
I can't wait to play this on the PS4 Pro. I only imagine it will look better on it.

Huh, that's why I never heard that line in any of the six games
[FONT=Roboto]I really hope they zoom out the camera for BBS so it doesn't feel like an up scaled PSP/Vita game and also allow us to use the original coloring scheme for the heartless, at least in KHI.It should also go without saying that the lag/freezing and the Xemnas glitch need to be fixed, if it isn't I'm not buying the game regardless, that'd be completely [/FONT]
[FONT=Roboto, arial, sans-serif]unacceptable as it pretty much already was.
I'm hyped though, here's hoping I can earn some extra platinum but it would be cool with cross savegames
I really do hope they will fix the problems they had in the previous releases.
I had a feeling we'd be hearing about this soon. I think I'll stick with my PS3 copies though, for now. Hopefully they're not priced too high.

If you're an Amazon Prime Member, you can get it for only $40.00!
I haven't had a playstation before. (Now you're probably wondering how I even got into this fandom lol) But this might actually be the perfect chance for me to finally getting one.
A lot of people are saying it's probably a waste because they already have the PS3 versions. To that I say... whaaaaaat? it's KH! How could it possibly be a waste? (although, I usually go overboard when it comes to KH. I have multiple copies of every version of every game. And yes, I have played through them all multiple times.)
You bet your ass I'm getting this. And I will absolutely be doing 100% completions for every one of them just like I did with the PS3 versions. Plus, it's all going to be in 60 fps! I know that doesn't matter to a lot of people, but I absolutely love it. I've been dying to get all of KH in 60 fps!
I know none of these games were originally made for any Xbox console, but I do find it very strange that they're not taking this opportunity to port it to the Xbox One as well. Obviously, one of the big reasons they're doing this is to allow everyone to be able to play all KH games before KH3. I imagine the Xbox audience for KH3 is going to be pretty abysmal. They won't get 1.5,2.5 or 2.8. I dunno, maybe SE has some kind of Xbox port planed for later on but I doubt it.
Not expecting any extra content to sweeten the deal besides a single secret ending or so. And this means we're not getting III till 2018, doesn't it? :/

It doesn't necessarily mean that. If anything, it might point to it coming out to 2017 even more. Release the collection at the start of the year to build up hype and get ready for KH3 at the end of the year.
Does this mean a new box art? :D wishful thinking.

That's actually what I was thinking. Although I'm not letting myself believe that. I'm not going to hold my breath just to find out that it won't be until 2018. But I'll allow myself a little glimmer of hope for 2017.
I too would love if we would get a new box art, but if not I am not too bummed. But man, glad that this is finally coming, and even in 60 fps... whoa. What a glorious day.
Appleboy; I'm just a frugal sort. I usually only get a game ONCE unless the company gives me a good reason to buy it again.
Case in point; I'm getting 2.8 EVEN THOUGH I have DDD because of what comes with it (Not for DDD itself though). (I also bought FF3 twice, but that was because the DS version could not be 100%ed after they killed the internet support for the DS, so I bought the PC version when a certain raid in FFXIV gave me the itch to play it again) At this point, there's no good reason (extra content, etc) for me to buy Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5+2.5. I think some feel the same way. The only reason I'd buy it at this point is if my PS3 died, which I don't see it doing for years, if that.
And it's okay to want every version of the game though! That's you.
Tho yeah, I'm going to be excited to tell the friend, "No you don't have to buy a PS3 anymore for KH unless there's some PS3 games other than those collections that you want to play". She's going to love saving the money!
I dunno where people keep getting this idea that KH3 can't release in 2017 because of 2.8 coming out in January and now the HD collections coming out in March. The HD collection is just a port and isn't even being handled by the KH3 team for starters, and 2.8 getting a small 1-month delay doesn't change much especially considering that the only reason that delay happened in the first place was to avoid clashing with FFXV.
I think its completely realistic to believe that KH3 could come out in winter of 2017. Remember that the calendar in the background of the KH3 gameplay trailer matched up with December of 2017, and I believe Nomura has also stated that he has a release month already planned out. Granted that might not mean much, but its something at least. Several games getting released in one year seems like a perfect way to celebrate the franchises 15th anniversary, and KH3 being the grand finale would be the perfect way to finish it off.
Heck we will at the very least get a ton of info on it next year and (hopefully) a release window of some kind.
I hope so, too, so it's a little more than just a cash-in. I’ll probably wait until the price comes waaay down like I plan to with 2.8.
Still nothing for XB1, *sigh*
Even if the trophies are shared between the PS3 and PS4 versions, I'd probably still attempt to 100% KH1 and KH2 again because I just love those games. I would probably give up at the Org. XIII data battles and Lingering Will though. I beat them both in Critical mode on the PS3 version, so IDK if I wanna subject myself to that torture again. And I still haven't technically platted KH1FM and KH2FM on PS3 because of the Gummi Missions. I don't have any real desire to plat Re:CoM or BBS.

Still nothing for XB1, *sigh*
Pretty much confirmed at this point they don't care about the XB1 audience. Wasted money in their view, and they are probably are tbh.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!! I CAN PLAY THE FINAL MIXES!!! AND BBS FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kingdom Hearts on PS2, PS3 and now PS4?
What a time to be alive.
So, 60fps has been confirmed, but what about 1080p? If I recall, the PS3 remixes were not 1080, correct?
Things that would convince me to buy this:
1) Expanded cinematics for Days and Coded, more boss fights and Disney world scenes for Days.
2) Whatever this cross-save function everyone is talking about, they better include it. I worked way too hard at the PS3 Remixes to do it all over again.
3) Keep it simple. No bloated $300 collector's addition.
4) This is a personal thing and would never happen, but an option to have the original title screens for KHFM and KH2FM would be so nice. I want my Soras on the beach back. :(
Good thing I guess. Won't be buying them since my PS3 versions are good enough. But it was obvious this would happen at some point, good that they're getting it out of the way finally.
1.5+2.5 = 4 -- should they just call this disc Kingdom Hearts 4?!
In all seriousness, part of me is actually disappointed-- despite the fact that this will probably be 1 $60 purchase instead of 2. I would very much like to have all the separate box arts. I'm very worried about what this new cover is going to look like.
Also, I can almost visualize it now. A menu screen where you choose between 1.5 and 2.5, then another menu screen where you choose between the 3 games on that disc, then ANOTHER menu screen for that game. Menuception.

Actually, one $40 purchase, assuming you are an Amazon Prime member :)

I'd love it if they completely redesigned the main menu so that it was like some kind of interactive art showing the evolution of the series. That would be pretty neat.
Also, I think the 60FPS and possible faster loading times for the Drive Forms and D-Links are worth it for me. Also with the concert in London a few days earlier, this is going to be an amazing March to look forward to.

lol And combined with the long loading screens, prepare for pain.
I rather imagine it being like with FF X / X-2 HD, where you have one menu to choose between the games included.
One thing that would make me buy this would be dual audio. The chances of it happening are probably really low since we've never gotten it before, but I have a feeling that it might be a possibility for KH3 so... it's not completely impossible there would be maybe a DLC or something for this as well. If I could replay all KH games with the original audio I'd buy this.

Actually I hope we'll be getting the original music.
For FF X / X-2 HD, the PS4 version had the original soundtrack included alongside the remastered versions. I'd love that for KH.
I'll buy this. I'm still playing through some of 2.5 (I'll have it done before 2.8), but I'll still grab this. I have purchased every single North American Kingdom Hearts release, and I still own them all (I even have my Chain of Memories GBA box still).
My only thing is PLEASE GOD LET THE PS3 AND PS4 SHARE TROPHY LISTS! I am a trophy hunter, and I never EVER want to get Re:CoM's bullshit plat again! I am the kind of trophy hunter that DOESN'T want to double dip the trophies. Cross-save be damned, just please spare me 6 more CoM playthrough.

You're opinion on this is actually kind of surprising to me. I didn't think anyone like the original soundtrack. The original soundtrack was just crappy synthetic sounds because the PS2 couldn't handle anything better. I love the actual audio way better. It's actually orchestral recordings. The way I see it, the remastered version is the way it was always intended.

Holy damn I forgot about CoM...
But BBS is still way more horrifying because I'd have to defeat Mysterious Figure with Terra again. Please no. Please.
They absolutely need to add a retry option to Kh2 now.
Having to load back to the previous rooms get's so annoying at times,especially on harder difficulties.
I wonder if they'll sinply port it and adjust some bugs or if they'll go ahead and actually touch up fish faces (as an example)

I thoroughly enjoy playing through BBSFM even with those insane secret boss fights.
So I definitely think COM was the worst. And I definitely agree with Max. Getting the platinum for Re:COM was an absolute nightmare because of the 6 playthroughs. COM by far has the worst gameplay out of all the KH games ever. When they remade it for PS2 or even when they remade it for PS3, they should've trashed the whole card system and just thrown in KH1 kind of gameplay or something (yes, I know how complicated and probably unfeasible that is). If it wasn't for the awesome storyline in COM, it would be complete garbage.
Welp, I guess I just liked CoM too much :'D

So basically you want to play KH1 twice? The Disney worlds in COM are literally rehashes of the KH1 Disney worlds.

Pretty much. Yeah. Haha
I hated the card combat system. The only thing worse than the card combat system is the map card system. I hated having to fight through uninteresting blank cookie cutter rooms just to get the the cutscenes and the boss battle.

THERE IS NOTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO BE SAID FOR NOW
One thing that would make me buy this would be dual audio.
I'm a bit torn regarding this. I definitely prefer the Japanese voices for the original and Final Fantasy characters, but I want the Disney characters to speak English. Would be cool to have it mixed like that.
Actually I hope we'll be getting the original music.
For FF X / X-2 HD, the PS4 version had the original soundtrack included alongside the remastered versions. I'd love that for KH.
Why? For the sake of nostalgia? Because the newly orchestrated versions are just infinitely better, imho.
Speaking of the audio though... they need to fix that annoying audio skip glitch in KH1!
This is super exciting news!
All these years and it's finally happening. All the games on one system like it should have been from the start. <3
I probably won't invest in 1.5 & 2.5, cause I've also played them this year on my PS3. Maybe later down the road, I'll purchase them again. <3 Super hype for it on the PS4 though!
I wonder if they'll sinply port it and adjust some bugs or if they'll go ahead and actually touch up fish faces (as an example)
Not too concerned about the pancake faces. They're part of the games' identity; if they're gonna touch anything up, it should be loading times and glitches.
So... I did wonder if they might have this for sale at the respective concerts that are happening around that time before its release date? The UK one is a week before... Since its just a collection of games that are already released on another console... well, its a hope but I doubt they would do that...

Most, but not all imo. I liked Forze del Male better in the original and in KH2, I preferred the original Disappeared, which for some reason they altered heavily beyond the norm for the updated versions.

Nooo, then I'll have to buy these games again... -_-

Welp, and imho, they are not. Tracks like Sinister Sundown sounded a million times better to me on the PS2.
Is this confirmed 60fps? I found a couple sites saying it was but I just want to be sure.

It has been confirmed on twitter:

So are there any expected differences beyond 60fps? Nothing in the trailer looked substantially different from the PS3 versions graphically speaking. If graphics were re-built from the ground up (to look more like KH3 and 0.2) then I could justify buying this, otherwise I probably couldn't.
They would NEVER completely re-built all the games to make them in UE4 in KH3's Engine....

The download times and reaction command issues will probably be fixed, I don't see why they wouldn't, but other than that I doubt there will be any changes.
This is amazing news! Will it be worth buying when you already have the PS3 versions? My PS3 is getting old af, so I may want to get both copies.

Well, I tried 3D in 60 fps and it was incredibly awesome, so I'd say yes, even if it's only because of that.
Wow, even Kingdom Hearts 4 is coming out before Kingdom Hearts 3.
Hopefully they share trophy lists and have cross save like FFX HD. Otherwise, they done fucked up. Definitely do not have it in me to do all that over again. For the umpteenth time. And fix the damn glitches too, loading times shouldn't be an issue though.
I'm behind on the news, but are you serious?! We're really getting KH4 before 3? :O

No, he's joking. People are salty KH3 isn't out yet.

lmao, no I'm sorry haha. Just joking how 1.5 + 2.5 = 4.
Ain't no salt though.

I didn't mean you specifically were salty... just the no KH3 jokes come from a salty ocean.
Just to clarify!

lol, I gotcha. I've waited for Versus XIII and The Last Guardian, so this is nothing at this point. Plenty of other stuff in the meantime. I just couldn't resist the joke though haha, they're too good.
Let's hope that the major flaws in 2.5 from the PS3 port are fixed up in this remake & if any new bugs pop up, there's a patch to fix them.
My only thing is PLEASE GOD LET THE PS3 AND PS4 SHARE TROPHY LISTS! I am a trophy hunter, and I never EVER want to get Re:CoM's bullshit plat again! I am the kind of trophy hunter that DOESN'T want to double dip the trophies. Cross-save be damned, just please spare me 6 more CoM playthrough.
Beyond the collective "Ugh!" that is being expressed by the thought of re-platinuming 1.5 (with it's non difficulty stacking trophies), do you think they'd do cross-save? How does that even work?
I'd love to be able to put my PS2 and PS3 away and just keep my PS4 out but I don't know if I have the time re-doing platinums and save files for PS4 if there aren't cross saves from the PS3 version.

That's been used for a handful of remasters this gen. Notably FFX HD and Borderlands Collection. They've used them on earlier ones from PS3 to Vita too like the MGS collection. It's totally doable and might make or break my purchase for it. Especially if the trophy lists are shared.
How it exactly works however, is beyond me haha. I've never had to do it before, but I believe it makes use of the cloud.
Does this mean a new box art? :D wishful thinking.
Oh dear God please mean new box art. This is a terrific time for a new piece of art like the II: Final Mix+ art with all of the main cast up till that point.

I would imagine that it just searches for the Trophy data in your PSN profile.

This announcement couldn't have come on a better day. My vehicle just died and I was -NOT- happy~ ;A;
Ty, KH

And That's exactly why I'm going to buy it, never mind the fact that I still haven't bought a PS4 yet. I'd like to have all my KH games on one console and I'm glad to have that option (technically 2, since I like playing 358/2 Days and Re:coded on my DS better than just watching the cinematics). Now all I have to do is upgrade to the PS4 version of the Final Fantasy remaster, buy a PC version of Portal 2, and trading in the PS3 and the handful of games I still have will go towards my funding of my own PS4.
I'm curious if Square will take the effort to make KH1FM look as good as they advertised it back when 1.5 was being released. I kinda doubt it but a man can dream. Here's a video that explains what I'm talking about. https://youtu.be/v2m_-PvbYwE?t=72

Same here! I mean I doubt they will go to that much trouble, but I would love it if they retouched everything like those initial screenshots implied. I'll be happy if they just fix the bugs and load times though. Where we are getting the games in 60 fps, I hope that means that Square is doing more than just straight up porting the games.
Edit: Also, I would LOVE it if they added a theater mode to KHFM. That is pretty much the only game in the collections that doesn't have one. Fixing the blurriness and poor lip syncing of ReCOM would be nice too.
Yeah, I don't think those changes are going to happen. It's a lot more work than I think people realize. You can point to BBS with the Young Sora/Riku faces of course, but you also need to point out the excruciating 9 month delay from Japan to English that it caused, too, lol.
Re:CoM is unlikely to be changed either since those cutscenes are actually FMVs and not being made in-game. That's one of the reason why the lip-syncing (and voice acting) is so bad, because they had to dub it to the FMVs instead of being able to alter the actual cutscenes.
A remaster collection like this (essentially just putting the two collections together) is going to have a miniscule budget. Like, probably even less than the remasters themselves initially had, in order for it to be profitable. I don't think we can expect many differences. Though it would be nice to be surprised by them.
