I dunno, do we really need this? I mean of course this doesn't really harm anybody, just feels weird they'd do this. I also wonder: will this just be a box with both games, or will this again be a new CD with ALL the games? Kinda like a 1.5+2.5+2.8?

Edit: nvm, just looked at the pic. It's both games seperately

I was wondering if they'd do this. I was expecting it to release next year though, right before KH3. Regardless, the idea of buying the entire series (barring KHUX) in a single package is nuts to think about as a long-time fan.

I guess it's fine since it's just a repackaging of both games, but it seems a little unnecessary. They're already both available on store shelves for a cheaper price than the bundle, so the only people this is for is unaware consumers.

The description itself is nothing new, it's just the 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 descriptions copypasted, since it says "for the first time on the PS4".

I mean, technically yes? All of the games are necessary to understand KH3's story. I know what you mean though, and no, there won't be any new content in this, that's for sure. Except maybe a new ending that's a teaser for KH3 (like 1.5's ending was a teaser for 2.5)

Uh, yeah, so, to get back to the topic:

I'll be honest: If I see even the smallest kind of reason to buy this (even if it's only a pretty box), then I'm sold. It's KH so I can't resist.

New SKUs for the holiday season always look better on sales reports compared to old ones, too.

I dunno. They're hyping up KH3 a lot. I feel like a collectors box could release at the same time with all the games (2.8/1.5+2.5/3) included in the box.

Even with a complete collection release with everything, they'd likely still keep patching KH3 well into 2019 if it follows SE's "games as a service" model.

This screams 100% Black Friday to me. And it doesn't surprise me they'd do a bundle collection because, Kingdom Hearts is a hot item right now with the other major game titles out there. Therefore, it's smart of them to use November to do it with Kingdom Hearts becoming more of a thing with KH3 on the horizon. Like, seriously, the amount of merchandise showing up in stores is unreal now. lol. So they'll probably go quick and sell out fast.

I personally won't bother buying it again, cause I own all three games already on separate consoles; which doesn't bother me. xD

Oh no, Kingdom hearts 1.5+2.5+2.8.....
I already beat EVERY game on the previous 2 bundles for the PS4, i don't have any more time left to burn through them like a heat seeking laser. I am NOT going through that lingering hell again! the nightmare that was Xaldin's data battle... No heart!

Although i do appreciate the influx of more merchandise, still love the Sora costume that i ordered online.

Good point. It also makes it easy for them for a marketing standpoint to just say, "Buy this collection for the full KH experience." No need to direct someone to multiple games with obscure number naming conventions, so from that angle it makes sense as well. It's not how I would have handled it, but it does make sense from a business perspective with some more thought.

Silver_Soul

I'd say there's no chance. The box art will probably be something simple, nothing really new, and the bundle probably won't include anything new at all. Even the smallest things require development time and effort from someone, and this is basically just a package deal of games that are already on the market. Plus, you also risk upsetting your most loyal fanbase who bought the previous collections at launch.

You probably wouldn't. The discs would be identical & thus use the same save files & trophy lists.

On one hand I'm glad they will be putting all the games to date so far in one convenient collection so everyone can have access to them but on the other I can't help shake the feeling that they're milking this like crazy. This franchise has and always will be very near and dear to me but man they sure do go out of their way to port and ultimately milk these games time and time again. Wouldn't be surprised if they had another mega or ultimate collection after KH3 comes out tbh.

I want to say I'll skip this, but there will probably be some kind of pre-order swag that'll sway me

And then the KHIII Collector's Edition will have this included and I'll have like 8 copies of these damn collections

Personally, I would consider that as a smart business practice as oppose to outright exploitation.

I wonder if they'll place a secret ending in Re: Chain of Memories. It would be a smart opportunity to add Namine's conversation with Terra and place hints with Marluxia's somebody.

I wouldn't say it was milking. Or at least, not the usual type of milking.

They have to know that their core consumer base will only buy the game so many times. I don't think their sales numbers would allow them to think rereleasing it over and over will land them a heap of cash (just my assumption)

I think their intention here is to further push the idea that people who haven't jumped on yet has the opportunity to get absolutely everything relevant to KH3 in one or two nice bundles. It almost becomes a "There's no excuse as to why you haven't played any of the games before KH3" situation coming about imo. Like, if an admittedly large part of our fanbase still hasn't jumped onto any of the collections thus far and got themselves caught up while waiting for KH3, then.... ?

The only excuses I can think of is lack of time (then what time do you have to play KH3, or you just really dislike the gameplay THAT much. I can't imagine this collection will cost too much either (but I totally understand the struggle of lack of cash since that was why I didn't play a few KH titles myself)

It is most definitely just about getting a new collection out before the holidays to push into average consumer’s hands. The core audience is not the target audience of this release.

It is also about clearing up the message behind the collections. Imagine being a sales person trying to sell both games to people. It’s verbose and confusing.

A straightforward “Kingdom Hearts Collection” just makes more sense to the average consumer over a string of numbers and words like Grizzly made note of. To this day I cannot believe the marketing team allowed Nomura to use weird names for these remasters.

I wonder, will the name be “Kingdom Hearts Collection Mega XL Bundle”? Because that sounds just as stupid to me. I feel like a really simple “Kingdom Hearts collection” or something would be more than enough — maybe even call it the “Dark Seeker Saga” or so? Though I guess that’d be a better name for a collection whcih includes the ReMixes and KH3

It’s “Kingdom Hearts PS4 Complete Collection” on Amazon, at least. The Mega XL Bundle thing is like a subtitle thing I’m assuming.

“Dark Seeker Saga” would definitely be for a post-KH3 collection and would still be a bunch of nonsense to the average consumer lol.

When did she would met him (in plot) anyway? and if there is clue about Marluxia's past, I bet it's just a kind of monologue. I don't think anyone know he was from chi era. Could be similar to Xemnas' monologue with Aqua's armor except Marluxia does it with a Chirithy plushie.

I'll go mad if they put any preorder stuff in this that wasn't available for the previous remixes. Or additional scenes. I don't intend to buy these games again and I think the basic idea for this collection is kinda dumb. It's a collection made of collections, like what are you thinkin', Sena?? It's really not that hard to grab a copy of 1.5+2.5 and 2.8 separately and the core fanbase is already overstuffed with remixes, so I don't know who is supposed to buy this. The marketing cost is probably higher than it's worth, but whatever. xD

They've already set precedent by just updating the PS4 version with cutscenes in a patch. Even if they do claim new cutscenes available, all PS4 versions would most likely get them.

Like, what are they supposed to do? Just put those ugly ass DS games in it? That's not happening. Remake the games? Jesus Christ, never in the world. That'd need a shit ton of people working on it, and they wouldn't throw that out for some 60 or 70ish dollars in a collection.

dark mamba’s post was obviously satrical so there’s no need to get so aggressive over it. we’ll probably never see Days or re:coded again in playable form, which i’m guessing is why he typed “ultimate troll job”. and osaka did have to essentially remake kh1 and kh2, sooooo

Anyway both Koch Media and Amazon Germany seem to have taken down the collection, funnily.
