Games beautiful, and it seems we'll be getting KH3's release date come winter :).

Edit: now that Ephemera's in 2.8 I feel obligated to go back KHuX

[Movefasta1993]

This is all confusing for me,is there a remaster of 1 and 2 on 1 disc?

[Kalebninja]

Not at the moment but, there are 2 HD collections on PS3 that contain all games before this though.

[Omnislashver36]

No, 2.8 is the remaster of Dream Drop Distance and the sequel to Birth By Sleep, which is Birth by Sleep 0.2. Lastly it has cutscenes from the game Kingdom Hearts Chi(called KH- Chi Backcover).

Hyped like you can't believe! Specifically 0.2BBS looks awesome! More or less looks like how KH3 is going to look and play. Dec 2016 can't wait!!

[DarkOcelet]

I really hope Aqua,Terra,Ven makes a comeback in KH3 and be playable characters.

[LiViNgLeGaCY]

Holy crap! That actually looks really good! Definitely hyped now!

[Sevir]

I'm hyped! I can't wait to play it this winter!

is there much point playing this if i havent played KH 1 or 2? wish there was a remaster of those on PS4

[raWfodog]

Unless you know the story so far, I believe it would not make sense to you. Hell, I've played KH1 and 2 and its still confusing to me at most points. That's more than likely cause I haven't played all the in-between games as well. But you can catch up on Youtube if you have the time.

[MegaRay]

You have to play (or atleast watch cutscenes on Youtube) for KH1, KH2 and KH BBS. If you watch on Youtube, you can skip the Disney worlds cutscenes to speed up the process.

Or if you still have PS3, buy KH 1.5 HD and 2.5 HD.

[ORyanDeee]

I did play an hour or two of KH 1 on PS2 at someones house a long time ago, and liked it, so if they are not re-released for PS4 ill just watch on youtube i guess.

[MegaRay]

Yeah, watching it on Youtube is a better idea. If you're wondering what's the order, here it is:
KH1
KH Re chain of memories
KH 358/2 days (optional)
KH 2
KH BBS
KH recoded (optional, just watch the ending if you want to know the important part)
Then just play KH 2.8 which coming this Dec.

This story has gotten so confusing. I am always a fan of the cinematic trailers though.

[Omnislashver36]

At this point is Terra is gone and Ventus is locked up by Aqua in Castle Oblivion. Aqua saved them both as she's the only one to survive the battle with Xehanort in a well-enough condition. She just made her way out of the Realm of Darkness (where Terra's body was almost destroyed) and is onto the Castle of Dreams. Likely still on a mission to save Ventus and Terra.

Terra was merged with Xehanort, so funnily enough, if she would have let him die in the Realm of Darkness, she would have saved the world long before KH1.
