People are excited for this? It seems like any time I hear it brought up the first question is "Where's KH2?"
Hopefully Square sees how profitable it would be to go multiplatform with it outside of Japan. I'd love to get this, but I don't really want to buy a PS3 this late for it.
I was hoping for a more beefed up collection, this one isn't worth of my sanctuary.
My sanctuary, yeah.

Square...please stop with the prequels, midquels, remakes, demakes, and the rest and give us a proper Kingdom Hearts 3 on a next gen system.
"It looks simple and clean, if you will. How is it making you feel tonight?"
Ah HA! I see what you did there.
Honestly, I'll probably pick it up if it comes out in the US. Not chomping at the bit for it though.

SquareEnix killed all interest I had in the KH series after it ended up on every device ever with a different game that somehow added to the convoluted mess of a story.
8 games in without a KH3? nah bro, I'm good. I'll pass on this.

@Script-br - I see what yah did there.
I know it doesn't include Kingdom Hearts II but I'm still excited for this collection. We'll soon see a 2.5 HD Remix with Kingdom Hearts II, Birth By Sleep, and the cutscenes from either Re:Coded and Dream Drop Distance all in one HD collection for 2014 probably before they release Kingdom Hearts III in 2015 (hopefully).
I know Square splitting the series into two HD collections is greedy but really, I don't see how they could pack 6 or 7 games into one collection. That would probably cost $80 anyway.

Baby steps people. It is, after all, the FINAL MIX version (that was never released outside Japan). So the idea of this coming out over here itself is tantalizing enough. Plus the fact, you know, Kingdom Hearts is a huge game in an of itself. Coupled with Chain of Memories, we're getting more than enough for a downloadable. Let's face it, they more than likely will bring out KH2 HD if this does well, so let's just focus on getting this spread around and noticed. KH1 is still a fantastic game after all.
Japanese Donald is in Yakuza!
...no, really, look it up. He's Shun Akiyama.
In all seriousness, I have never had any interest in the Kingdom Hearts games, and while I can sort of see the appeal for fans of the series, especially with PS2s getting older and more liable to break every day, it just seems like an awful lot of treading water from the outside looking in.

I'd pick it up if it was final mix 1 and 2. Guess Square needs to squeeze as much money as they can from the KH fanbase.
Heck yes I'm gonna pick this up. If just for Final Mix. But yeah, I know people aren't gonna think it's worth it because "it's just another remake" but when you think about it, the first game came out TEN YEARS ago. When I played KH3D, I realized that ANYONE who hasn't played the series or researched the series is gonna be totally lost. So, what better way to get people INTO the series than re-releasing them for people who don't have a PS2?
And before you go saying, "Oh but the chronicles in KH3D-" I'm gonna cut you off there and say it's NOT the same and you don't get ANYWHERE near the full plot.

Slightly disappointed by the visuals. Needs just a pinch more AA.
Also the absence of KH2 is fucked up because KH2 Final Mix Plus unlocks stuff in Re:Chained via cleared save data and vice versa.

I would happily by a collection oh KH games. Unfortunately this is not a collection, so square I will be walking away to not hear what you say :\

I have NO idea why they just couldn't throw an HD remake of the DS version. I mean I believe they would've received much more fanfare and fan attention for this product.

amazing :D
the graphics are top notch, and i can see how this game have age very well ^^
what's funny is that the Final Mix versions in japan are actually voiced in english and japanese subs.
same thing with International versions of FFX, FFX-2, FFXII(well FFX-2 the epilogue part was japanese :P)
here they seem to have made it in japanese as well.
so dual audio?? :P

There are few games that can evoke a strong emotional response purely with their music. Kingdom Hearts is one of them. I STILL get choked up when I watch that ending. If Square Enix brings this to America, I'll be there on day one to buy it.
Also: the 358/2 Days cutscenes look fantastic. I was playing the DS version a little while ago and the comparison is night and day. I wish they'd remake the entire game instead of just the cutscenes, though.

@Julio Garcia - I think the reason why is because it would be very difficult to program and code a Nintendo DS game for the PS3. Two PS2 games are easy. Increase the resolution to 720p, bump the framerate to 60fps, add anti-aliasing, etc. Voila, two HD remakes.
A remake of the DS game 358/2 Days would require a whole new level of work. They would probably have to remake that game from the ground up on a new engine so they instead decided to remaster the cutscenes in high-definition. Much easier.
I'm disappointed this HD Collection doesn't include a playable 358/2 Days as well but that's the price for developing it on the DS in the first place.

@DrRockso
I would think that porting from DS to Console would be a lot easier than remaking a GBA game for PS2 (Re:CoM) It's just a matter of time, and probably something they didn't have time to do between volumes of FF13.

"It looks simple and clean, if you will. How is it making you feel tonight?" UGH!! Terrible pun aside, I've never been bitten by the KH-bug and I'm not gonna jump on the bandwagon now!!
Maybe this will be like the Metal Gear collection, where its split up in Japan & the rest of the world gets the full collection later?
Either way I hope they add camera control to the second stick for KH1, it was painful using L & R in the original!

Looks about the same as on a PC emulator, but I'd still buy for native 16:9 and cause I love that game.
Boy, Square's sure getting their money's worth in using those PS2-grade character models since 2001.
Square: "Please start giving us your money again, we'll re-release your favorite games to be mildly more interesting than they were before!"
Actually I see all HD collections this same way. Why are all these companies asking us to rebuy games we played 10+ years ago without much enhancement? I mean I'm not a big fan of Super Mario 64 DS, but at least they expanded on the discovery and gameplay of the original enough to make it worthwhile! Give us some new content!!!
