E3 may be over, but the news continues with an 8-page feature on Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix! The spotlight shines on Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix in this spread, showing off the glorious graphical upgrade and all the new additions set to finally grace western shores, including new Christmas Town outfits, Sora's Limit Form and the infamous Lingering Sentiment battle.
Thanks to Zephyr, you can read the interview with Co-Director Tai Yasue below:
Co-director Tai Yasue Interview (1)
- KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX, three games from the series have been HD remastered for the first time, was released last year. How were the fan reactions?
Tai Yasue: KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX in general received positive feedback. However in the cutscenes of KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days, we received opinions that it was “difficult to understand because there were no battle scenes”. So KINGDOM HEARTS Re:coded was created in the same manner in KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX as footage with both battle scenes and event cutscenes. The battles will be one of the highlights of this title.
- KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX has been decided to release on October 2nd. Is the development progressing smoothly?
Yasue: About 90% of it has been finished. Further events are followed by fixing bugs. During the time of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX, there were times where we felt progressing was troubling. However this time, it has been progressing much more smoothly. In KINGDOM HEARTS II and KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep, concentrating on making the models and textures more beautiful has been going good so far. Especially for the PSP title KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep, we are raising the quality of each character model about 4 times and we are pushing the limits of the PS3’s memory with the quality.
Co-director Tai Yasue Interview (2)
- When working on the HD Remasters, what kind of work was done specifically?
Yasue: We had to redraw almost all of the textures. It’s surprisingly low tech (laughs). The programmers were asked to convert updated textures (with software technology to clean the images). In the KINGDOM HEARTS series, a whiff of the Disney titles have a smooth gradation and we are putting our efforts on color saturation. So designers with skilled techniques are very important.
- So the craftsmanship of the designers have achieved the graphical look?
Yasue: That’s right. Because of concerning parts from the original version, HD remastering it has to be done by hand. If done otherwise, the quality cannot be obtained. Thanks to the hard work of designers working diligently, the differences between the original version and the HD version is evident.
- That’s the KINGDOM HEARTS team for sure.
Yasue: Yeah. The look on Tetsuya Nomura’s face was priceless because we took particular care and attention. (laughs)
Co-director Tai Yasue Interview (3)
- In the latest promotional video of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX, we have been wondering about the two character illustrations, “Lost Masters”, and “On that land, darkness shall prevail and light will expire”. Is that KINGDOM HEARTS III?
Yasue: You are correct! In fact, the project of KINGDOM HEARTS III has been proceeding considerably. It was an excerpt of the beginning of the storyboard Nomura drew in the footage.
- Those two are new characters?
Yasue: It doesn’t seem to be, it definitely isn’t. Our hint is that it’s someone from the past. I wonder if I said too much. (laughs)
- Interesting. (laughs) Concerning the action, it looks like the Keyblade can transform. Nomura said there were also “ridiculous transformations”.
Yasue: Yeah. (laughs) In worlds where there is [omitted], the Keyblade can change into [omitted]. The Keyblade will also be reflected on the style of the world.
- Give us a roundup of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX!
Yasue: The staff had poured all of their emotions into this title for the KINGDOM HEARTS series. All of these works have been building up to KINGDOM HEARTS III. By playing KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX and KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX, you will have a deeper understanding of the story and you will be able to experience KINGDOM HEARTS III more deeply. Personally, my favorites are KINGDOM HEARTS Birth by Sleep and KINGDOM HEARTS II and they can be enjoyed in this collection in its best state. Please look forward to it by all means.

AHH LOOK AT THEIR ADORABLE FACES. I want to smoosh Sora's cheeks because they managed to make him look even more adorable than before.
I love the graphical improvements! The game looked great at E3 and it looks great in screenshots too.
I can see the difference in the shot of Roxas and the TT crew, but I can't wait to beat to be beaten by Lingering Sentiment.
If a No Continue Trophy turns up again, not doing that fight until after my first playthrough
You can't fight Lingering Sentiment until after you finish the game, anyways...

Which is good, then it's the other bosses I'm worried because I'm going ballzy and play on Critical Mode my first playthrough.

I thought Critical Mode had to be unlocked in KH2FM...Or am I confusing it with KH3D?
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!

I think it was available in the beginning, I'll check on that.
Edit: Yes it's available in the beginning, so you must be thinking of 3D.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
Does no one notice the awkwardness in Terra's hand? xD That position is soooo wrong. xD

I know that could be a odd error, but isn't the armor 'missing' something if I could vague about it?

Good thing he's just a suit of armor or I'd be worried about SE's sense of anatomy.
It wasn't like that in the PS2 version, though...
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
And the wait for Xmas Town music, outfits and limit form grows ever harder. ;A;

It's there from the start in KH2FM.

This is what happens when you ignore KH2's existence for so long xD

Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
On the LAST IMAGE, did anyone notice SORA USING MASTER FORM DURING THE 1000 HEARTLESS BATTLE!!???

Okay first off, was all the all caps necessary, and two, it's probably just play testing, like how Terra had Ulitmaz Cannon in the Wheel Master fight in one of the E3 gameplay videos

Please do not backseat moderate people's use of caps.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!

Very likely, there was also a BBSFM shot of Terra using Ven's keyblade as well.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
Jeez didn't know all caps would piss you off that much lol I was excited. The final mix game was already made, why would they rearrange stuff in the play testing?
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
So I don't have to repeat it again: don't backseat mod, OKR.
Second: Anybody who decides to start any further arguments can go take it to a private place or you will have to deal with me. OKR you've been warned. Everybody else, drop it. Now let's have a nice discussion about KH2FM and how gorgeous it looks.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
is it just me or does it look like Final form sora had his feet dislocated in that screenshot?
O A O;;
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!

Nah, his left foot is behind his right leg mid-spin. It's one of Sora's many cray-cray ballet moves in KH2 (it does look uncomfortable but it's normal)
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
Come on everyone, let's all be nice lol. KH 2.5 is approaching GET HYPED!
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
I always love seeing comparison shots!
Xemnas' face amused me, so I made it my avatar, but the resolution is terrible. :(
And a little smaller than expected, but that part I can live with.

Comparison shots are the best, especially because it helps you realized how janky the original looked xD
He is so concentrated on HEARTS and RAGE. I think what makes it funnier is that he looks a lot like Terra right there and it makes the somewhat-bewildered look more hilarious.
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
Holey Moley! Yasue wasn`t kidding when he talked about the graphical improvements. The picture with Sora hugging Donald and Goofy is very adorable, and I think Sora`s eyes look particularly stunning.
I have waited for so long to get my hands on KH2FM, and I`m finally able to do it! :)
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
Those screens...I don't think I can survive until December. >.>
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
I think my brain just died. December, why art thou so far away? I think the best thing about these scans is I have a new Xemnas expression to alter into blue-eyed Xemnas! I wish that instead of the entire segment fixating on KHII, that at least one page should have been for BBS.
After 2.5 all I need to be happy is an HD remaster of FFXII and some pizza. I've come to the conclusion that the best battles all go to Xemnas. I have the most fun anytime he is my opponent (granted I had to lv 100 Sora with Ultima to cream him in 1.5 XD).

The good thing is that this gives us confidence that they'll have a BBS-exclusive feature later on!
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
Goodness these screens look gorgeous, specially those graphics of SDG on the first page.

Hoping this means the bit in the trailer really is a scene of young Eraqus & Xehanort in kh3 rather than just a concept thing like kh3's trailer last year.
Kind of silly that they compared 2.5 to vanilla KHII in the Roxas screenshot. I guess that would make sense in Western territories, but Japan actually got Final Mix so it's likely they'll notice that isn't Roxas' Final Mix model.
Good to hear that KHIII seems to be progressing smoothly.
Eeyore: Oh dear, I'm in HD... Now everyone can see how pathetic I am in greater clarity than before...
Beautiful! I hope they update the textures on Jack Sparrow's hands, though... lol

For a second I thought his hand was rotting...
They just couldn't take out the musical levels, could they?:mad:

Why would they remove a whole world from a game just because some people do not like the rhythm minigame? Also, you do know it's optional, right?

Why are there words omitted? Is Tai Yasue just flinging swears left and right? :P

It is information that is under wraps/under an NDA. It's pretty common to see omitted information in Japanese interviews.

The KHIII part of the trailer is the start of KH3.

(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)(laughs)
I was wondering that, too. Maybe he figured what he said shouldn't be revealed yet?
Because during the interview, he told them one of the worlds in Kingdom Hearts 3, which because they haven't revealed it yet, had to be omitted.
I love hearing about Yasue-san and Nomura-san's interactions with each other. They seem like they'd good buddies. It was Tai Yasue who talked about how he liked to prod Meow Wow in DDD, right?
Anyway, I really wish that that "priceless face of Nomura's" was somewhere on the web. LOL. I wonder if it was akin to how authors feel about seeing their characters brought to life via live action. I mean, it was just a graphical improvement, of course (so not nearly as big of a big deal), but still.
And Time to theorize about that last part now. If it was said in a funny context, perhaps they're talking about Tangled's world being in the game, and Sora can turn the Keyblade into a frying pan there? I'm just guessing, of course.
Also... I'm sort of surprised Yasue-san was worried he'd said too much about the KHIII teaser. I mean, it's pretty obvious that it's Eraqus and Xenahort when you see the drawings and stuff in the trailer. And it's also pretty clear that it happened in the past... I mean, it hasn't been confirmed, of course, but I thought they wanted us to put all of that together ourselves. Hmm...
| The KHIII part of the trailer is the start of KH3. |
Best news yet~ =D
Pretty I guess.
Tangled, Frozen, Brave, trying to think of what world that had to omitted from the interview. This is going to be interesting debate, what's the new world for KH3?
obviously Big Hero 6. Duh.
I'm gonna withhold judgement until after I've seen true comparison screenshots. Square already gave us bullshots with 1.5
It's a wonderful spread though.
I love hearing about Yasue-san and Nomura-san's interactions with each other. They seem like they'd good buddies. It was Tai Yasue who talked about how he liked to prod Meow Wow in DDD, right?
Yep, that was him! He doesn't seem to be very fond of Meow Wow, or if he is, he loves teasing it by poking it and putting it up against a Tyrant Rex.

The silly thing is that it's actually not as obvious as we all thought! There are still many people who believe they're new characters or other individuals that aren't Xehanort or Eraqus.

That's me, too. Except I do it with Flowbermeow and Skelterwild. I mean, who doesn't love seeing a floral cat-dog creature being BFFs with a T-rex skeleton whose head can detach?
| The silly thing is that it's actually not as obvious as we all thought! There are still many people who believe they're new characters or other individuals that aren't Xehanort or Eraqus. |
Probably the reason why many still think that way is because they aren't as KH-literate as a multitude of us here? Also, perhaps it doesn't cross their minds that the sketches are of Xehanort and Eraqus... or that they are of someone's head to begin with since they are pretty faint.

It's a wonderful spread though.
With what we saw at E3, these probably aren't bullshots at all. The graphics & model quality is way better than 1.5

I think it's because they want it to be someone else, such as an older Sora and Riku for example. It doesn't seem to occur to them that it's actually an even that took place long before the series started because it would not involve characters they are currently more interested in.
| Yasue:Yeah. (laughs) [omitted] in a world, the Keyblade can change into [omitted]. The Keyblade will also be reflected on the style of the world. |
Uh oh... looks like someone said a no no...

Reading over this, I realised I read it wrong.
It doesn't make sense to say the film name for a world, then say "in a world" after it, that makes no sense.
However, saying a character's name makes more sense. But they wouldn't omit Sora now would they? ;)

Riku. Riku. Riku. Riku. Riku.
If Riku isn't playable, I will flip out.
It's gotta be Riku.
Please be Riku.
I'm more hype for it being Mickey if only because he hasn't been a true playable character yet (outside of KH2 and multiplayer). :D
Knowing the storyline of KH3 though, and 3D, it'd most likely be Riku though.
Guys, you're thinking about this wrong. It's not other playable characters... it's the other characters in your party! Donald and Goofy both have Keyblades now and have mastered them well enough to transform them! They omitted it so we don't know this amazing plot twist.
I'm adding my voice to the 'PLEASE let Riku be playable' crowd.
Also, if the Keyblade changes with the world, does that mean no more keychains other than the ones for the base keyblades? O.O
Or is it just for certain worlds and we'll get keychains for others? Hm...

It just refers to transformations during battle, like how in Twilight Town it changes into two guns. Keychains will no doubt still play a part in the series.

We'll no doubt still receive Keychains. This is referring to Keyblade transformations, such as the dual pistols Sora used in the D23 Japan Expo trailer.
Edit: goddamnit joey
Re: Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMix Featured in Famitsu!
The picture of SDG hugging looks beautiful, but MY GOD JACK'S HANDS. KILL THEM WITH FIRE. Please fix those textures omg lol.

Ah, right. I had forgotten about the gun thing. I just focused on the 'world' part. Thanks for clarifying, both of you!
"In the Chicken Little world, Sora's Keyblade can transform into Lightning from the FINAL FANTASY series." - redacted quote
Those omitted words were kind of strange for me to translate so my apologies in advance about its weird structure. *blank* in this world, the Keyblade can transform into *blank*.
Tangled, Frozen, Brave, trying to think of what world that had to omitted from the interview. This is going to be interesting debate, what's the new world for KH3?
*cough* Wreck It Ralph *cough* No, but in all seriousness it's probably gonna end up being like Make Music Mine AKA the biggest let down one could think of when thinking of new worlds.
The silly thing is that it's actually not as obvious as we all thought! There are still many people who believe they're new characters or other individuals that aren't Xehanort or Eraqus.
Considering "we all" stands for "dedicated KH fanbase," I'm not that shocked many don't know. Honestly, a lot of people I see who think they're new characters haven't played DDD or BbS, so to them, Young MX and Eraqus are still new characters :P

However, saying a character's name makes more sense. But they wouldn't omit Sora now would they? ;)
It's like Mad Libs but for Kingdom Hearts! On that note though, I don't even know if a character's name makes 100% sense since saying:
"Sora in a world, the keyblade can change into-" It would make much more sense to say "Sora in a world, his/their (to not give away gender) keyblade can change into-"
"In the Chicken Little world, Sora's Keyblade can transform into Lightning from the FINAL FANTASY series." - redacted quote

Well, now it sounds like a game mechanic. It sounds like Reality Shift from DDD, where it's unique to each individual world and has to be activated.
I blame Site Staff Admin Sign for pressuring me to broadcast that comment earlier against my will.
HD sure is gorgeous, but Captain Jack's outfit still looks like texture-only.
By the way, did Yasue really speak out the censored words?
In the world where there is ice, the Keyblade can change into Sea-Salt :)
Frozen

hey japanese is a tricky language it was a 50/50 shot of getting it right
By the way, there's a little tidbit at the bottom of the last page about the Disneyland Ride themed "Action Flow" in KH3.
He says something like "as for the amount of Disneyland themed "Action Flow" you can expect, if you were to envision Disneyland, i think you will get a fairly reasonable estimate of the number."
But my Japanese sucks, so don't expect that to be accurate.

It's nothing new, so it wasn't really worth translating. We already know all of the Attraction Flow skills are modeled after Disney Park rides. He's just restating it.
By the way, did Yasue really speak out the censored words?
Yes, he did. Because of the good relationships Japanese press and Japanese devs share, sharing information that is still under-wraps tends to happen often enough. Since the topic itself was an approved topic since they've already revealed Keyblade transformations, but the specifics weren't, they omitted it.
KH2 and Birth By Sleep are my two favourites too, that's why I refuse to wait until December for this! Too painful :frown:

Young Xehanort laughs at us. :c because he can travel through time and search and awaiting to beat our slowasses in BBS FM until December.

*doesn't have a PS3*
Oh cool, ReMIX II.5 is coming out for Christmas.
*goes back to work*
I'm liking how 2.5 is looking. The pics of Sora, Donald, and Goofy on the first two pages are my favorite. I imagine soon they'll have a similarly sized spread with the last page or two being Re:Coded and the rest being BBSFM.
=p
Lol awww thas so sad. But is ok, the wait will be worth it. Plus with the avalanche of games we get come September it'll be even easier.

Fuck. Thanks for reminding me I will probably be failing my classes because I'll be too busy gaming. Too many games.
I have to prioritize. Pokemon, Persona Q, 2.5, and everything else will have to wait.
diddly. Thanks for reminding me I will probably be failing my classes because I'll be too busy gaming. Too many games.

It's not fair how many games are coming out really... selfish devs not realizing all the lives they'll be distracting and inhabiting. Those beautiful and generous devs... Spring will be even worse!
Don't forget what Tai Yasue said during Square Enix presents: We are practically only waiting a month! :P

The whole fourth quarter of this year will leave me broke and failing all of my classes -.-

May be this is really the end of the world. A gaming apocalypse!

It's actually 2 months since it's October 2nd and December 2nd.
I can only hope they're trying out a closer release to prep for a possible worldwide KH3 release. I'd like to be able to browse the internet in peace without getting spoiled on KH3.
May I ask something relating to KH2FM? I haven`t played KH2 for a really long time, but what I have heard the button mashing kind of ruins the games battle system. So in FM comes the Critical Mode difficulty, does this "fix" the battle system or make it more enjoyable? I finished DDD on Critical Mode a few weeks back, and it was pretty fun, expect the third last boss that Riku faced. :( I might also try critical on BBS now, since I only beat Ven`s story on Normal, and Aqua`s and Terra`s story on proud.

Yes, you could say it "fixes" it. You have to think more about dodging the enemy's attacks, rather than button mashing and taking any hit from the boss with relative ease. So there is actually a chance of dying. I think KH2, with critical mode, is incredibly fun, probably my favourite, especially when you hit the Organization data battles and the LS. They are so very fun :>
Ah, that`s good to hear. :) I think that the Demo shown at E3 really gives you an insight to KH2`s problems. In the boss fight at Beast Castle the player didn`t really have worry about taking damage, since the boss did very little. I was worried after this, but maybe Critical Mode is the answer to this problem.
Also was it that KH2 vanilla version didn`t have dodge roll ability? So I have seen that you can learn that from limit form. Is this true?
Yes it is true.
In regular KHII you would learn "Quick Run" from Wisdom form in place of Dodge Roll, and the ability Dodge Roll was limited to a reaction command against the little bomb Heartless when they were about to blow up. (The reaction command can be activated when they have 3 seconds or less left before they blow up.)
With Limit form Sora could do some of his special abilities from KHI and Dodge Roll was implemented with them. Dodge Roll have more invincibility frames than Quick Run, so with good timing you can avoid an otherwise deadly attack. Quick Run is not useless however, as Sora can travel waaaaaaay longer distances with that than with Dodge Roll, so if you do not think you can time your escape from an attack with Dodge Roll just Quick Run out of attack range.
Yes both commands use the square button to activate, and it will probably take a little getting used to differentiate between the two.
*Tap button to Dodge Roll
*Press button for Quick Run (The longer you hold the button the further you travel.)
Woops, guess I ended up rambling a little, heh...
Hope that helps.
Yeah it did, thanks. I didn`t even remember what kind of dodge/evade move Sora had in KH2. Man, a 6 year gap really rusts ones memory. :)
It's actually 2 months since it's October 2nd and December 2nd.
I was referencing the joke he said during Sqaure Enix presents, not the time between JP and NA release dates. :P
I can't find the video on Youtube but he was basically saying that if you take away all of the time we sleep, eat, work, etc, we are left with only a month's wait. I thought it was really funny. :|
