It's referring to this being a HD PS3 game but only getting screenshots of the size 700x394 released when the size of a HD screenshot should be larger.

They look nice! As per the usual at this point, I'm taking them with a grain of salt. Wish we got more BBS shots.

Hmm, I've never been too well versed in such technical stuff. I thought the shots were already large enough for my enjoyment, but thanks for the clarification.

Oh god no. They kept the cape afterall. Why would you do that Enix? In the battle it's a major distraction.

All the renders are pretty nice. Some are repetitive, but they're nice. Love the screencaps. Still needs more BBS attention.

I can rrally see the difference in the picture quality. It looks so beautiful. I can hardly wait to play this HD remaster! ^o^

Why would they remove his cape from KH2FM anyway, it's seems like a minor thing people wanted removed. People wanted capes, people don't want capes, people make up your mind.

BBS will get attention later, let KH2 get it's time to shine.

She does state very clearly that the cape can be a distraction during the battle.

Years of acting like this and you're still getting offended over everything. Chill, dude.

I'm not going to get off topic with you, but just it seems pointless to remove his cape from KH2FM, that's all.

Re-viewing these screenshots, I only just realized Kairi's not actually a redhead (my TV has color issues). That's the most disappointing news this week...

...Anyway, the screenshots look gorgeous. Just wish we also got some of the other games. We need some BBS and Coded (battle scenes!! :eek:)

Her hair is kind of a auburn color, almost brown.

I feel you. I'll never be able to do this fight with his cape covering a portion of the screen. He already moves around a lot, but having to trail his cape makes it worse.



Still needs more BBS attention.



Yes. Thank goodness we can expect a huge dump of screenshots of BBS sometime in July/August if they make this a trend.

Her hair in KH1 is much lighter than her hair in KH2. She's a dark auburn. It's still red, but it's not a bright red.

Kairi's--and a lot of the cast, really--hair seems to change color often, tbh. Sometimes it looks red; sometimes it looks brown or black, but really I think it's a mix of all three of those colors. Lighting is also something to factor into the argument.

That, and the fact that her hair looks different in CG than it does otherwise. For instance, when Sora's reading the letter from Kairi at the end of II, her hair almost looks a bit orange (but I think that was because the sun was setting in the background). But right after, when Sora and Riku return home, her hair looks really red (and for that matter, her outfit looks more baby pink there than it does coral). It's never that red usually, so whether or not the scene is pre-rendered or in real-time also plays a part in her ever changing hair... I've video edited with the KH scenes a lot. Leave me alone. LOL.

In any case, her hair seems to be more red than anything else in the official art, so I guess that's really what it's supposed to be.

Also, I think the may or may not have made child!Kairi's hair a bit browner in the remastered BbS scenes with her.

And on a completely unrelated note, I think I read in this article (on another site) that they said there was a new reward for beating the game. Are they talking about the custom theme you get or something else that's new?

Yes, this was pointed out in the Famitsu spread thread. Sometimes devs will do test runs with different skills for debugging and general quality control.

I'm with ya. While I'm a big lover of capes, I feel they should have removed it. I don't want a cape covering the screen.

Pretty much.

Maybe they are trying to avoid the aliasing showing too much by having small screenshots.

You can tell they did a great job if you look at the detailed building textures of the buildings in Agrabah, Squall's/Leon's fur collar, and Luxord's crisp cards.

What exactly is wrong with Lingering Sentiment's cape, exactly? Does it make it hard to see what move he'll do next? I don't really know since I never got to fight him.

There is one thing in those images that are really confusing me (sorry if this was asked before). Its just me or did anybody else saw that Sora is fighting the 1000 heartless with master form? We need 2 party members do activate Master. Have they changed the 1000 battle so that we have Donal and Goofy, have they changed Master form so that we could use it with only Sora or was that just one image to show the Master form in action???


Thanks a lot :p

It's just play testing pictures, noting more. noting less. Basically the developers debugging the game using assets that are;y avalible yet.

It was just the devs doing a test run, but I'm holding on the slim possibility that they made some changes.

They all look good. Happy to see a shot of one of the 100 Acre Wood mini games. I enjoyed those.
Also am I the only one who thinks this shot of Timeless River is really cool, what with the Keyblade coming right at the screen?

The official NA website uploaded all the new screenshots in better quality. There are a few differences between some of the battle screens and for some reason they left all the hit counts and gauges...

Because it is. There's literally nothing different compared to the one they released years ago for KH2.

Same goes for Namine, Roxas, Mickey and the Lingering Sentiment unfortunately. The only thing about LS is that the only one we had prior was from the Ultimania in poor quality, so I'm glad we have a new, shiny version now~

I think it looks really cool, too. Especially since it shows off how crisp the textures on the keyblades are. Just look at those lines!

Ok, can we all just slow down for a moment and acknowledge the fact that Chicken Little made it in to this game?

That movie was sooooooooo bad. It was during that time when Disney was completely worthless if it weren't for the fact that they distributed Pixar films.

These look nice, as per usual. I actually never noticed how "cel shaded" Soras Keyblades look in Timeless River.

It's almost ironic how Port Royale-the most graphically advanced-looking world on the PS2-is probably now gonna look the most limited on PS3 aside from some texture upgrades.

Chicken Little was added into KH2 for the purpose to get people to care about the film. It didn't work 8D

Not everything from the transition was bad. (ignoring Atlantis & Treasure Planet which are simply perfect and underrated) Brother Bear was a pretty good film, though not extremely fantastic. Meet the Robinsons was a good step in the right direction and a really fun film. We could have did without Chicken Little or Home on the Range, though.

Did it? I did watch it in HD, but I guess it was because I watched it on Youtube and hadn't played it yet for myself. If it's true then, it does look impressive.
