I think Gallagher's performance in re:CoM, both as Riku and the replica, is really good. With the exception of one word (The way he says "SORA!" before a fight once)

Re:CoM I honestly remember the least when it comes to acting but it suffers from many reasons that cannot be helped. First off Sora sounds too old not surprisingly when it takes place pretty much at the same time as KH1. Also DiZ actor and Namine actor are changed from KH2. The dialogue does not work as well as KH1 ect. It's not bad but I think it's the weakest one of the voiced games.

Gallagher is always great and he actually sounds the same in every game so that is a relief.

 

[MrChocolate]

The voices were always this bad?

Anyway, day 1.

 

[Plinko]

Preordered. Day one.

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Dat piece of shit story, NOW IN HD!

 

[Valnen]

I love the music in that place. Hollow Bastion~

That music just makes me want 2.5 even more. I wanna play all the games at once. I love the music in KH 1 and 2.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

That music just makes me want 2.5 even more.

Because of the botched version that is in KH2? :d

 

[Soriku]

I knew exactly what songs they would use and what would be shown ahead of time. So predictable. Part me is saying "day one", but I'm reluctant to buy new PS3 games so close to the PS4 launch.

This collection will be better than any launch PS4 games.

 

[RyoonZ]

Trailer gives me a goosebump.
Can't wait to play this man.

 

[Plinko]

Dat piece of shit story, NOW IN HD!

I'm a big fan of this series and even I admit it has the worst storyline ever.

Doesn't make it any less fun to play, though.

Now just give me an HD Birth by Sleep. I'm REALLY hoping 2.5 makes BBS playable. What a great game. That and DDD were phenomenal.

 

[water1111]

Is it just me or is the voice acting... off for some reason?

Too bad the main game in this collection is KH1, ya know the one that has nothing wrong with the story?

 

[Seda]

I already stated this, but I feel the same way actually. However, Birth By Sleep trailers and Dream Drop Distance trailers gave me the same feeling. When I actually played the games, they sounded fine for the most part (other than Terra....)

I conclude that, for me anyway, cutting up various lines into a trailer placed over theme music makes the VA sound 'off'.

 

[water1111]

I noticed the PSN logo at the end, I think we might be getting a digital release as well.

 

[Grieves]

Too late in the gen for me. My son wants it also but he'll probably end up with my PS3 when I buy a PS4 anyway.

Hope they also release for PS4 but hey, it's Square Enix so I can't see that happening.

Am I the only one who thinks people saying Kingdom Hearts has a bad story are overstating facts? You know what has a bad story? Vanquish. And Dead Space, and the Resistance series. Those are examples of a bad story.

Is it complicated? Is it a mess? Does it get cheesy at times? Yeah; but, personally, when I think of "games with an enjoyable story", one of the first series to come to my mind is Kingdom Hearts.

I love cheesy ass convoulted stories. KH has a special place in my heart.

I can agree with this, I don't find any of the story bad. Sometimes ridiculous but not bad.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

I enjoy the silly animu plot of the later entries, I have no problem with KH2 or especially BBS but DDD was in my opinion the first one that was trash for a few reasons and storywise everything the series didn't need.

 

[Seda]

My go to word for the KH story is now "Bonkers".

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Why are they even bothering cutting trailers for it now when they're sitting on it for six months?

 

[RocBase]

This will be the first current-gen SE developed game I'll purchase!

 

[WrenchNinja]

Dream Drop Distance is the one that I actually think is a legit bad story. Cause even on some level, the other games sort of made sense.

I still think they're all poorly written and paced.

 

[Cidd]

Anyway, day 1.

I was thinking the same thing lol, Day one for me as well.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I guess the trailer answers the question about re-dubbing the English. I was wondering if they would be using Haley Joel for Sora. Or Mandy Moore for Aeris.

 

[ubercheez]

When Simple and Clean hit me in that trailer, it took me right back to the commercial in 2002 that convinced me to buy the game. Looking forward to reliving KH1 and experiencing CoM for the first time.

 

[KiteGr]

I'm sooooooooooo buying this!

I'm a big fan of this series and I think the story isn't hard to understand if you play the games and is kind of adorable and enjoyable if you try to understand it.

But I haven't played DDD yet.

DDD's revelations, like Xehanort's ultimate plan, are pretty dumb.

 

[distantmantra]

Awww Yissss!

And then I remember the release is at least 6 months away

What's even crazier is that in the time between Kingdom Hearts 2 and 3, I've gotten married, bought a house and had a kid.

 

[Thamauturge]

Is Billy Zane still there or not? Can't use youtube atm

 

[Seda]

Is Billy Zane still there or not? Can't use youtube atm

Voices for KH1 and re:CoM are unmodified.

 

[Napalm_Frank]

Is Billy Zane still there or not? Can't use youtube atm

Yes.

The ham just wouldn't be the same without him It's a shame he didn't return. I don't mind him being absent in KH2 for example but him in BBS would have been epic.

 

[Jea Song]

This will be available on blueray right?

I really want this on a disc rather than digital download

Only disc version has been confirmed so yes.

 

[PK Gaming]

Kingdom Hearts is so lovably cheesy

looking forward to playing the BEST Kingdom Hearts game again

 

[Tagg9]

I hope they take the time to adjust the lipsynch for English.

That's what I'm futilely hoping the delay is for.

Birth By Sleep HD isn't out yet.

Birth By Sleep HD isn't out yet.

KH1(FM)>KH2FM>KHBBS(FM)>KH2>DDD>Re:CoM>CoM>Days. Can't argue wid dat. No opinion on Coded.

Not going to argue that KH2FM+KHBBSFM is better package than KH1FM+Re:CoM tho.

 

[RPGCrazied]

Dem jaggies, wow. So the final game doesn't use any AA at all? That's sad, still day 1 though.

 

[LuuKyK]

It's smoother in the final version. Also the final release has 4xMSAA.

 

[RPGCrazied]

.

Oh ok. Any videos of the Japanese version in HD? Love to see that AA in action.

 

[Ljwinter]

Holding out for a vita release.

Hope so :-/

Not happening

 

[Seven Force]

I was going to attempt to wait for the US release, but I caved and bought it yesterday.

It's a really well done collection, can't wait to see more from S-E.

 

[WORLDWIDEWII]

this looks really really good.

 

[kayos90]

Not the best trailer in the world but good to see 1.5. =)

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Never played 358/2.

Love the piano/violin track that plays at the end.

[raven777]

The voices were always this bad?

Anyway, day 1.

yea I played KH1, 2 in English, and am currently playing 1.5 in Japanese.

I didn't know the english voice was this bad. When i was playing it I thought it was one of the best dubbed JRPGs

 

[TwoDurans]

Holy crappy Voice Acting, Batman.

Was it always this bad? At least Billy Zane brought it.
