The story of the Kingdom Hearts series initially begins on the Destiny Islands, where 3 young friends live. The idea behind a HD remix of the game had been in the pipe for some time and had apparently been scheduled for development since before the release of the FFX remake.

Tetsuya Nomura (a prominent figure in all of the important Kingdom Hearts decisions) had always told members of the media that he had plans to re-release Kingdom Heats in a high definition remake, but at the time (some time in August 2013) he had yet to confirm that such plans where any more than just a personal dream. We had to recreate all the graphics and it was actually not that easy.” Much of this new work on the games is because, according to Nomura “ was lost, so we had to research, and we had to dig out from the actual game what was available and recreate everything for HD. This received a warm reaction from the fan community that had often cited this as one of the games best, but most poorly developed aspects. At one point, speaking with Famitsu it was announced that more than 60 musical tracks (covering all three games but mostly centered on the newer Kingdom Hearts Final Mix) have been recorded again, but this time with live instrumentals instead of using the PlayStations 2’s in built tone generator for the music and backing tracks. Cutscenes included in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix which lacked voice acting or instead used English voice acting will be using the original Japanese voice acting.įollowing speculation from the games dedicated fanbase Square Enix finally publicly announced the games Q3-Q4 release dates on February 25 th 2013. They also revealed that the characters in game models from Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance would be being used in the HD 1.5 remix for characters like Sora and Riku.

This cinematic sequence also features trophy support.
