Kingdom Hearts 2.5?

[BlackSolaris]

Well, Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix HD Collection (that damn name) was not well received by the fans who where expecting a HD collection containing Kingdom Hearts 2, but instead got Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Chain of Memories, plus the DS game cutscenes.
But in the end, during the credits, scenes of Kingdom hearts 2 could be seen.
And now, this place:
Project Destati

The countdown finishes around Tokyo Game Show 2013.

For those who don't know, Destati is a song from Kingdom hearts and it's the italian word for wake up, which for people who played Kingdom hearts 2 is something they should connect with some events on the game.

Will this be Kingdoms hearts 2.5 Remix HD Collection? If it is, what games will it have aside from Kingdom Hearts 2?

GET HYPE!

The end credits of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 apparently feature Kingdom Hearts 2, Birth by Sleep and Re:Coded. So I'm guessing playable KH2 and BBS, and a movide version of Coded.

And yeah, probably Kingdom Hearts 2.5. Though I did hear there will be more news on Kingdom Hearts 3 then.

 

[Pandsu]

Yeah, it's probably going to be what RockSauron said, which would be sweet!
I've been hoping for this. Both because it'd mean we'd finally get the Final Mix version of KH2 (which is much more different than the FM version of the first game) and BBS, but also a PS3 version of the latter. Provided this comes to the west, of course.
Having the mess that is coded in a form that doesn't require me to actually play it is a nice bonus too :3

It's basically what RockSauron said, the end credits of Kingdom Hearts 1.5 showed scenes of Birth By sleep, Kingdom Hearts 2 and Coded. Also, Tetsuya Nomura said that it would be odd having a 1.5 without a 2.5 so it's always been expected that 2.5 would be revealed at the Toky Game Show, similar to how 1.5 was revealed there last year. Already preordered 1.5 and can't wait to play it in September. I pretty much expect to do the same thing with 2.5.

The only problem is that, for those who know Square Enix and their teaser websites, this could be something bad. For those who don't remember:
Square Enix's New Teaser Website Looks Reminiscent Of The World Ends With You [Update] - Siliconera
Everyone was expecting the sequel for The World Ends With You, and what we got was a iOS port of the original game, a bad one at that.

Let's hope that Square Enix is not about to shoot themselves on the foot again!

This seems fitting. There's so many Kingdom Hearts games, and all of them are incredibly important to the overall story. I think they're trying to draw in new audiences with these "HD Collections", and omitting the Chains of Memories and other Kingdom Hearts games like it would be a bad decision. I like this idea of a 2.5 HD Collection, including Birth by Sleep, since I never got the chance to finish it.

That being said, it'd be interesting to see what they'd do with the left over KH games. There's more than six, correct? Wouldn't we be missing 2 titles?

If I'm not mistaken there'd only be Kingdom Hearts 3D for the 3DS omitted from these. Now, with KH3 on the horizon and, in theory, BBS Vol. 2, which was teased in a secret ending to BBS Final Mix, they'd definitely have material for a Kingdom Hearts 3.5 thing to finalize this saga (since KH3 is supposed to be the last one before they start a completely new story line). Like, they could re-release KH3 as a Final Mix version (probably gonna happen anyway) and add the other two as a bonus and release it all after KH4 (or whatever they're going to call it) has been announced to build some more hype for that one.

I was extremely disappointed when the 1.5 remix did not include the 2nd game. I played the first game in its entirety but have never actually played the 2nd game, even though I call myself a huge Kingdom Hearts fan. Obviously a 2.5 remix is expected in the future but I doubt it will come out before Kingdom Hearts 3 is released, which is quite a problem since I obviously haven't played the 2nd game! Even if I can't play the 2nd game on September 3rd, I am still looking forward to replaying the first game.

 

[Joel]

Feel free to correct me because I might be wrong on this one but wasn't there a KH 2 final mix or something like that already? I remember seeing a youtube video where the intro was this really super beautiful version of a piano playing the theme. It was definitely in Japan. So, I guess its possible a NA release of this is taking place.

 

[OniBlackMage]

You're remembering correctly, Joel. There was a Japan exclusive KH2 Final Mix version with sharpened textures, more cutscenes with exposition, some new keyblades, another form change for Sora, and a new difficulty and game mode. I like the sharpened 3D updates, though Coded must be the most boring installment in the series to date. No doubt when they make 3 and the obligatory side game. KH3, 3D, and the next game will compose 3.5.

 

[RockSauron]

Yeah, considering 1.5 had the Japan exclusive Final Mix for KH1, I believe 2.5 ill have the final Mix for Kingdom Hearts 2.

Dude, Kingdom Hearts 2, let me tell you about it!
One word, magical. The stupid convoluted plot, the amazing soundtrack, the fluid gameplay feel, the sharp visuals, all that content waiting to be explored. It's like, what every sequel should be, and they managed to do it!
