Kotaku: "The HD collection Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix contains an HD remastered version of the original Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories. Also included in this package is a remastering of Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days. However, unlike the other two parts of the collection, this HD version of 358/2 Days is not a game. Rather, it is a nearly three-hour movie containing all the cutscenes from the DS game in remastered form. And while it turns out to be a comprehensive abridgment of the events of that game, as a film, it is more than a little lacking."
As the decade ends, let’s look back at many of the biggest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series. From games to merchandise, there was something for every Kingdom Hearts fan to enjoy.
Kingdom Hearts' Organization XIII is full of many different personalities. Here is how we've ranked each of the members from worst to best.
Kingdom Hearts has exploded. While Kingdom Hearts III is only the third game in the trilogy, it is one of many titles that rounds out the series' lore. It is a lot to take in, and people might not have time to go through all of it. Fortunately, Michibiku's guide is here to help! 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.
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.
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.
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?
Kotaku you lack real journalism. Stfu already
Oh wow... This is really disappointing to hear... They didn't even include the last two fight scenes, the graphics go back to DS quality in transitions, and there are a lot of loading times???
Man, I don't know what to think about that... The movie was what I was most excited for in this collection.
Kotaku ma vaffanculo va!
Sorry but in Italian sounds better. XD
whatever kotaku i dont care about the cutscenes anyways and their quality it will be an improvement from the ds version which i still have.
Wow, it's just a compilation of cut scenes from a DS game that's just meant to give the story of 358/2 without actually playing the game. To expect top notch film quality is ridiculous.
