This was the original plan, however in order to get the game out in timely manner they had to cut it. However, Nomura still wanted to offer fans 358/2 days in HD, so he opted to remake the game's cut scenes in HD instead.

There are still high hopes he will have an HD remaster of Birth by Sleep for the inevitable KH2.5 HD.

I'd heard that it was because they wanted to put more resources toward XIII-3. That was the reason they didn't just do a remake of the game, and instead opted for HD scenes instead.

I would have killed for this game remade in HD. However, thinking about it as a Kingdom Hearts movie of sorts... Well, that's not such a bad idea...

"I'd heard that it was because they wanted to put more resources toward XIII-3. "

No.... I understand that not many people like the XIII trilogy but you cannot possible blame every small disappoint at Square on it. It would've really placed the game back about 6-8 months extra to remake 358/2 days in HD, which Square CEOs probably weren't liking because they want the game to release at a certain time for financial reasons.

I wasn't personally blaming it, I was just saying that's what I heard...

@Snookies12

You probably saw some troll saying that. This was being worked on by 2 people for a long time, then they brought more people on from a separate team that made the handheld games. I believe its the h.a.n.d. team. They have absolutely no part in any FF game ever. People don't seem to understand that SE has more than 1 team. I hate when people get mad that Nomura is part of development for the main FF games. Sometimes he doesn't even have a big part. He just does the character designs and sometimes he'll have a part in the story making.

And Nomura is more of an organizer and overseer on projects as I understand it. He can be a crucial part to the developements of more than 1 game at once.

"you won’t be required to sit there for almost a full 3 hours to enjoy it."

Hopefully there's a play-all option, I have no problem watching the whole thing at once.

Snookies124109d ago (Edited 4109d ago )

Yeah, here's hoping they add that in as well. I want to sit down and not have to worry about changing each scene. I'm cool with long movies... I own Lord of the Rings... I mean come on, each one of those movies is longer than this lol.

Tres214109d ago

i wish ya'll would stop with all this dumb talk about a super long cutscene thats plays straight thru....u kno what im sorry 2 call names im just mad cuz now im sittin here wishin i could watch a kingdom hearts anime.lol

To help better illustrate what is going on and what people should be playing, here is the full timeline going through when every game happens and if someone should watch or play through each one.

1/2, Birth by Sleep, and Dream drop distance skip the rest.

Double_O_Revan1928d ago

Chain of Memories and 358/2 have a lot of important stuff that lead into KH2. Otherwise you'll be Really lost at beginning of 2. You can easily find a videos of all the cutscenes of both games so you dont have to play through them all the way.

Pyrofire951927d ago

Wouldn't actually say Chains is necessary before going into 2 since you know just as much as Sora. While I do like a lot from 358/2, aside from a few things it's mostly world/character building Days came out after 2 anyway and would take a lot of mystery away. Maybe I'm just trying to simulate how I experienced the story but in that case I actually started playing 2 first lol. Cutscenes should be sufficient for sure.

Pyrofire951927d ago

I'd through 0.2 in there as well just cause it's so short and has a decent amount of information. What the hell did Mickey mean?
