Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Continues to Update Sora's Adventures

Word. I didn't get 1.5HD but I'll totally get this one, if just for BBS alone.

I get all fuzzy inside whenever I hear 'Simple & Clean,' and I've never played a KH game.

I bought 1.5 and haven't played it yet, but the release of this might push me to it.

I love the music from KH games, but I would be way more interested in the story if it was about anime artists declaring war on western animation, and there was a giant robotic Micky stomping on Naruto look-a-likes.

It makes no sense not to include Dream Drop Distance in this collection,even the creator of the series said that DDD leads directly into KH III which means if you don't own a 3DS then you have no clue what's happening when you pick up KH III.

The music in the trailer is not 'Simple & Clean' tho, it's the orchestral version of 'Sanctuary', or a similar version of it.

They are both pretty great.

@jacksukeru: Oops...... Mixed the two up. They are superb pieces of music, indeed.

I agree with Patrick on this...although I liked KH2, I hated everything after that

The best parts of those first two games were always visiting the Disney worlds and basically playing through the movies, but with Sora, Goofy and Donald added to them. It had a fun gameplay system and a very nostalgic feel to it if you grew up with those Disney movies as a kid

After 2 they just got so far away from anything Disney and the story just went so up it's own ass that it had to be strung about many different handhelds just to experience the whole fucking story

I just hope KHIII gets back to some Disney stuff...and some Pixar stuff as well if they can get those liscences

Hey guys, I've never played a KH game before but these HD remasters have me interested. Should I start with 1.5 HD? Or some other entry in the series? Thoughts?

@darkjester74: Just start with the 1.5 HD collection since it contains the original Kingdom Hearts along with the game that came right after it that was on the GBA originally.

i mean, its not like they had control over what was put into KH1FM 10 years ago. and the US (and i guess EU) version already had a lot of extra content that the original japan release didnt, so the main point of the Final Mix was to give japan all the extra content they didnt get, and they threw in like 1 extra secret boss. Im not sure if it was the same way with 2 or not.

Sure, the story of this series is hit-or-miss, but I found genuine empathy for the characters and thought the themes remained pretty consistent (also, it gets surprisingly somber in parts). That said, the VA for the Final Fantasy characters in KH2 was downright embarrassing and turned some maudlin Nomura moments into a weird kind of deadpan absurdity.

I'll pick both re-releases up at the same to finally see the Final Mix stuff and find out what the hell's up with BBS, since obviously I'll end up getting KH3 in 2016 or whenever. In that respect, it's a shame they didn't include DDD with this package so I could catch up all the way.
