After months of utter silence, it seems that Square Enix is finally ready to dish out info on Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- for the PS3. As shown in these scans of the latest Weekly Jump in Japan, you can see a screenshot of Sora, Donald and Goofy saluting Queen Minnie in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, along with one of Sora protecting Alice in Wonderland in Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded, and Aqua and Mickey protecting little Kairi in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix.
While translations are incoming, it doesn't seem likely that there is a lot of info to give out at present. However, this is a sure sign of more info to come in the weeks ahead. Who knows? It might even be heavily featured at E3 next month.
Kingdom Hearts -HD 2.5 ReMIX- is still slated for a release this year only on the PlayStation 3.

Finally.
It ain't much.
But at least it's something.
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Get keen guys. I'm expecting quite a few surprises relating to KH 2.5 to come up in the next month ;)
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
How exciting!
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Whoop, another image. It's finally getting some publication and attention it deserves! :D
And I see that the still from Mickey and Aqua scene in BbS is there. I wonder if the glitch is still present... or has it been removed from BbSFM?
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
So happy about that HD Alice model I could sob.
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Well, this bodes well for E3 then. If things are finally starting to surface, it means they're getting ready to blow the lid on everything. Given that E3 is really close, I think we'll be getting all our stuff answered during E3 :)

What was the glitch in it?
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Finally! ;A;
Bet some are saddened about the solely ps3 bit though.

In that very shot you see with Aqua, Mickey and Kairi, in the original there was a second Kairi from a previous shot that they forgot to remove, she's hiding behind Aqua's leg...as you'll see here:
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Expecting release date on E3!!!! PLEASE!
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
wouldn't you just love if the surpirse had to do with Birth By Sleep vol. 2 cutscene at the end of the Secret BBS Episode
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Definitely going to watch Coded before doing anything else. The fact that Disney characters will appear is super exciting, right?!?! Is ANYONE else jazzed about this?
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Excitement!
We probably won't actually get any new info on the ReMix, but hey, screenshots!

I probably would be more excited if that hadn't mentioned that they were going to appear a while ago, but nonetheless I am very much so.
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
There's a new Shining game?!
...Yeah, yeah, I see the Kingdom Hearts news, but there hasn't been a Shining game in English in seven years. This one probably won't come over either.
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump
Look who decided to show up
(Proceeds to cheer on the inside)
Re: KH HD 2.5 ReMIX surfaces on Weekly Jump

I'm super jazzed. Re:coded should hopefully feel more fluid than 358/2 Days and the fact that this is helped by a good plot with Disney in it? Hell to the yes.
Also, forgive my memory, but is that shot of Sora and Alice new or have we gotten that before?

Of course not. This is Sega we're talking about.
I'll probably watch Coded first, too, and I really hope we wil get to hear a remastered version of "No More Bugs". Also I really wonder what Coded will unlock...
YAY, magazine scans, how I have longed for those! I'm already excited, even though it doesn't feature anything new (is the Re:coded screenshot new?).
Let the news flood!
I don't want to watch Re:coded first but I probably will because it is my favorite and the shortest bit.

Besides the theme, the "Credits" that will probably give us a hint of things to come (plz be KH3 or KH3D teaser)

Yes, it is a new screenshot.
A sliver in the drought! Let the dykes break! :O
About those Coded cutscenes, was it confirmed the Disney characters were actually going to be voiced? I mean, I should hope so, but

They covered this in December.
[FONT=Arial]• Re:coded isn’t as long as 358/2 Days because many of the cutscenes in Days were originally from the main story. I’ve added a new events in Disney Worlds. Also there will be new voice actors that will be appearing and we’ve just voice recorded for Alice’s world last week.[/FONT] |
Hmm. Events in Disney worlds and new voice actors don't necessarily mean Disney characters will be voiced. I can be optimistic though.
Well, they did say that there will be new voice actors and Alice's lines had just been done, so I'm very positive that they are going to have Re:coded's scenes fully voiced.
Edit: Looks like I missed your edit the first time around. :P
I can hardly stand the wait... please 2.5 don't be late.
Ah finally some news. It's just a few screenshots but at least it's something. Like others have said I hope we get lots of info at E3.
Hmm. Events in Disney worlds and new voice actors don't necessarily mean Disney characters will be voiced. I can be optimistic though.
Who else would the new voice actors belong to? There aren't any new original characters in the game.
There are very few scenes in Disney worlds in re:coded where Sora isn't interacting with those characters, and the main characters of re:coded are the Disney ones anyway. I really wouldn't worry about it.

Iago speaks.
Yeah, the timing of that tweet literally could not have been timed better.

I'm not sure about release windows regarding this sort of thing. They're probably not reanimating the facial animation for the cinematics and re:coded is shorter than the days movie so...I don't know. When Jesse was recording for 1.5 it was in January and it took another eight months for it to come out. I don't think a Christmas release in the US is out of the question.

New voice actors replace old voice actors all the time.

Yes, but the way they embellished Days with new scenes, I could easily have assumed the new content was with the original characters just in a Disney backdrop. Gilbert Gottfried has quelled all misunderstanding though. 8D

Surprises are always saved for E3

Surprises are always saved for E3
To play devil's advocate here (or just the ignorant unaware guy) what surprises are they most likely to have for this game apart from a release date, new trailer and ReCoded new scenes reveal? I am not suggesting for one moment of course that those things if they were to happen wouldn't be surprising.
Will Nomura mention anything about post credits surprises for instance?

Not unless someone asks, and you know no one will.
Even if Nomura is at E3 again this year, you can bet that everyone SE has approved to interview him will ask the same ignorant, boring questions they always do, with the exception of Famitsu or other Japanese press.

Yeah, that is where I hope that the questions asked on the recent survey somehow make it out in a Q&A or something instead of the usual stuff as you say that they always ask. It must suck for Nomura to come over seas and talk about the series in such a simple manner when all the juicy details are always in Japanese publications or Ultimanias which a lot of fans I recon still are not quite aware of.

Last year is a great example. Nomura requested specifically to only do 6 interviews, so SE tried to book only well-known outlets. One of these was a local LA news station, who knew absolutely nothing about games and spent the entire time talking about how pretty everything is and how realistic the hair is.
And let's face it; nobody would go to them seeking gaming news to begin with. Such a waste :\

Maybe they just need to change their tact a little. Use the Square Events thing to do big Q&A's which are more engaging with fans and other people generally interested in the games. I can understand exactly why Nomura would like to not have to talk too much about the games over and over in the same way so they just need to figure out a better way of getting more interesting stuff across to their western audience at this event. I am still baffled as to why the questions were so bad when he was interviewed during that square events thing.

They are gonna pick and choose those questiona and once again it's gonna be the stupidest and boring trite ones like always. But here's hoping it's not
I'm not all that excited by this. Love the new coded screenshot, but this is just a confirmation that news is finally gonna come very soon, something I already expected.
Still nice, though.
It is great but I wish it wasn't going to be released at the end of the year you know?
What makes you so sure it's releasing at the end of the year?
Its what I've learned from a few different shops online but of course I could and I would like to be wrong. haha
Was the date given December 31st? Those dates are usually placeholders :(
Yes it was so hopefully it is sooner. There just isn't any idea of when this year
Stay tuned for E3.
