Isn't this for RE:Coded though?
The question was in reply to Re:codeds 2.5 Cutscene only edition but the answer implied to me that it would be tying up loose ends in the series, rather than just Re:coded.
Which fits in with what I thought Birth By Sleep Volume 2 was attempting to do. I could just be over analyzing things though, for all I know it could be something completely different but I do recall Nomura saying he had a story for v2 that ought to be told and this is the only place I could think to tell it other than 3 now, might be a bit hard to fit it all into a secret ending though.

Well, I really hope it's more than just a new RE:Coded cutscene lol, we'll see in 5 months!

Name any game in the world and someone is going to find a reason to piss about it. They're not worth spending the energy looking at.

THEY CUT MULTIPLAYER FROM MIRAGE ARENA
Why is this surprising? Mirage Arena was always going to need a serious reworking for this. They're not going to pay the PSN fees for non-ad-hoc multiplayer for an HD collection.
Frankly, the fact that the Mirage Arena battles are getting better balanced for single player (and we're getting some additional Mirage Arena content) is going to vastly improve the experience of the vast majority of players.

They're adding new content in the arena? any idea of what it might be?

Wasn't it said in an interview that there might be one or two additional matches in the arena, in addition to rebalancing certain fights to make them more suitable for single-player?
I'm guessing that they'll likely end up cutting the duplicate Command Board and Rumble Racing modes out of the Mirage Arena, though, since they serve no purpose if they're not a multiplayer version of the mode you can already play elsewhere. That means finding a way to make up for the 11 Arena Levels that they represent.
It also means cutting out the assorted multiplayer-only commands like Fireworks and Group Cure and stuff.
Any new Mirage Arena content is unlikely to be *really* new content, but they might let you re-fight tougher versions of some of the Disney bosses or something, I suppose.

Ahah, I'm kinda hoping they keep those "visual effects" commands, just for fun. They should add a few "dance" ones as well :3

I hope they do more than some Disney bosses, but I think that's asking too much from an HD Remaster tho.
They'll add the non-nerfed version of Mysterious Figure back in as a "new" Arena challenge.

Isn't his fishing-line move the only part that got nerfed?
It'd be pretty cool if they could add in some content from Dream Drop Distance, I suppose, since it's all basically the same graphical and combat engine for the most part. Ansem SoD and Xemnas battles?

Maybe another recolor of Vanitas
I'd love that, but I don't think they would be up for that...
Yeah same. At least it's something new though before 3 comes out.
Prettysure it is, it's similar to the 3 render of Sora Donald and Goofy so I'm guessing they might have used that as a base.

Pretty sure he only mentioned EXP Zero getting rebalanced and Mirage Arena's final boss (No Heart, probably) being tweaked.
Unless he said this sometime during E3, in which case, Armor of the Master, Monstro and No Heart technically qualify as new content for the western market.
And yeah, Re:Coded's new scenes are definitely going to end up covering whatever BBSv2 was going to cover.

If this is the case, then I'm very excited. I loved the BBS2 ending and was very disappointed when nothing came of it.
I can't wait to see Sora's new getup.
Nomura-san plz deliver.
That was the only one I really noticed when I played it. I feel like there may have been a few mild damage nerfs too.

I'm eagerly awaiting the reveal of the box-art for 2.5
1.5's one is really beautiful, hope is something similar or better.

Perhaps I was just much better at battling him at the point but I do feel there was damage nerfs to MF on top of the fishing-line move. It only took me a couple of trys to beat him versus what felt like 50+ trys on the English version of Birth By Sleep with Aqua.
Vanitas Remnant took me much longer due to framerate inconsistency screwing with my ability to dodge his moves/judge when they'd come at me, Final Mix on 2.5 will be a joy for that battle compared to playing on a PSP 1000.
That would be pretty neat.
While we got a 2.5 date and a 3 teaser at E3 not seeing this and seeing old KH2 keyart instead made me really sad
I'm really looking forward to seeing what Nomura comes up with.
Had a surreal moment at California Adventure the other day. I was watching the Aladdin show and it got to the point where Jafar had the lamp and said "whoever has 3 wishes coming their way, raise their hand." I was wearing a three wishes keyblade pendant around my neck and raised my hand.

Why do people think this? It'd be neat, sure, but I'm not going to get my hopes up that much.

Lads does anyone know if the trophies in the 2.5HD will stack this time round? I can't imagine playing BBS 9 times -_-.
They haven't commented much on the trophies, that's pretty much the one thing I would ask them if I could.
Oh how I miss that brand new GBA box, mine's still in-tact (and the only GBA box I still have) but i've had it for years so it's a bit more worn down being put on my shelf unsealed. That and I lent my copy of the game to a friend and haven't heard from them in a long time so I'll probably never get it back.
Well the answer said it'd be tying up missing links from other Kingdom Hearts titles and I still think that was the intention of BBSv2s story, if you take out the bulk of a games story linked to gameplay to tell that (Aqua exploring the dark realm) and just stick to just showing unexplored periods in the series in video form I could see them making it work.
That and Nomuras comment on a story for it existing that ought to be told so I figure this is the last opportunity to do it outside of/before 3. I'm not getting my hopes up though, just thinking that's what it might possibly explore.
I really really hope so if they have difficulty trophies, although for BBS I could see them going for something like beat the game on critical with TAV and the Final/Secret Episodes rather than taking up more trophy slots with multiple difficulty trophies.
That and if they use BBS/BBSFM's trophies as a base they only had one difficulty trophy (beat the game on proud or critical with all three characters)
It is satisfying when you finally beat him (and now get a keyblade along with a small cutscene) but it's probably not worth the grinding if you're not interested in doing side-stuff when you're at the end of the game imo.

What do you mean 9 times? If you count every character as one single playtrough X 4 difficulties that would be 12 playtroughs, no? :3

This, pretty much. It seems pretty obvious from it's concept trailer that jumping along the series timeline to touch on the mysteries of some of the unexplored parts of the series was likely BBSv2's aim. Now that we know Re:Coded's extra scenes aim to touch on unexplained mysteries and tie the series together, I don't think it's too much of a stretch.
Nomura's repeatedly said for years that he's wanted to at least touch upon Mickey's adventures in the dark realm in the background of KH1 leading into CoM. At the very least, I fully expect that to be explored in some capacity. Coded's already a bit Mickey-centric anyway, so it wouldn't be too out of place.
Several days old but:
completely. That was a battle 348 Days in the making.
Cue sigh of relief on my end, though I wish they had considered this from the beginning so that Days wouldn't be so barren of conflict. I mean, ffs they even cut outFamitsu Interview with Tai Yasue said:
Roxas vs. Saix
His answer suggests more than one enemy type for KHIII that they're trying to keep under wraps. Or perhaps the Keyblade transforms into specific weapons depending on the situation on hand. Kinda like how there were specific Reaction Commands for certain enemies in KHII.Famitsu Interview with Tai Yasue said:

Heh. The last time something had to be omitted out of a Famitsu interview, it turned out to be the TWEWY cast in KH3D.

sums up the whole thing

I think I mentioned it on another thread but it's interesting that AFAIK for the past 10 years there has always been a new Kingdom Hearts trailer at Jump Festa and indeed I don't think there has really ever been a big timeslot with nothing to look foreward to (if you were Japanese or were one of those silly importers). Post KH1 there usually has always been multiple KH projects announced at one time too.
So the question is if they can keep up with the tradition. JF2015 would be a good time to get a new trailer for KH3, over a year after the last trailer we got at D23 and if the ''project has been proceeding considerably'' you'd hope they had something to show especially since it's been a few months after 2.5 release in Japan and a few days after western release. Then of course there is the possible DDD HD or whatever that they could do to have something to feed the fanbase with until KH3 finally starts to be in a form that is ready for proper showing. Tho to be honest it feels like Yasue really wanted to give the impression that KH3 actually is coming along from the interviews in Famitsu and SE Presents. Here's hoping he isn't just bullshitting.
I will not accept nothing at all/another scetch
. I do wonder what it is with Jump Festa that makes it a place where Nomura or whoever usually wants to show something. Poor TGS.I bet the omitted part said "guns," which wouldn't be a spoiler since we've seen the gun transformations in the demo trailer, but it might give away what world will be in it since guns (at least modern ones) aren't found in most disney films, so it would narrow it down quite a bit.
I'm hoping that they dive into the world of the more underrated Disney films. Treasure Planet and Atlantis would make fantastic levels.

I see Dreamdrop is banned yet again. Slow down kiddo!
And obviously the ''ommited'' is for chainsaw blade making it's glorious return. I mean there are many worlds with chainsaws right?

I don't expect KH3 to suffer the same circumstances as FFXV. They have to answer to Disney, after all.
And if the omitted word was guns, perhaps they're returning to Pirates?
Lastly, a thought I just had, if they have to have another Atlantica sing-along, hopefully they ditch The Little Mermaid for Frozen. That said, I don't know that they'd bring in any more princesses what with the Princesses of Light surely being important the next go-around?

I don't know if Frozen would work as well. There's no real central villain (aside from Hans) so the final boss fight number would be weird. Honestly if they mention guns I'm hoping for treasure planet. They have space guns.
No, but the musical one specifically kind of does. You can't have the custom heartless boss or one of the main custom villains singing. That would be too silly. Frozen could function as a regular world, but a musical one might not work out.
Not surprised in the least lol
