II.5 Remix

With the release of the original soundtrack for the Kingdom Hearts remasters in Japan today, the 7-Disc OST (containing up to 180 remastered tracks from the series) was then listed in Square-Enix's European store, set to be released on December 15th with a price of €64.99. While there's still no word on a North American release, hopefully this news means that the OST for the HD ReMixes will be available in other places pretty soon. As for all you Kingdom Hearts fans in Europe, this is definitely something you would want to add to your KH collection.

UPDATE: And it looks like the OST was added to the North American Square-Enix music store as well, to be released on the same day with a $79.99 price tag.

As the title states, the Official Kingdom Hearts Youtube Page has uploaded a video set in the Square Enix Headquarters in Europe.

The video does not only show everything in the Collector's Edition, but also shows a few pages of the 2.5 Art Book.

With less than a month before Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMix's release in North America, Square-Enix and Disney decided to treat a handful of lucky fans to a very special treat. On December 1st (one day before the official release), a private showcase will be held at the Walt Disney Studio Lot in Burbank, CA. Tickets will only be given by invitation. The event will be held at two different time slots, the first one being from 2:30PM-5:30PM, with the next one being from 6:30PM-9:30PM, and will include a new trailer (KH3?), allow fans to purchase the remaster a day early along with other KH merchandise, and the chance to meet with unannounced special guests. For those wishing to attend this event, tickets can be obtained in one of the following three ways:

Our newest media reporter, @Karuta, is hard at work recording KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX for us. Previous posts of the ending have included fan translations and fan subs. By modding the game, we now have an official translation of Re:Coded's secret ending. The video, of course, still has the Japanese audio, but with the very same English subtitles you'll see when the collection releases worldwide this December.


You can download the video by clicking here. We'll have a full archive page up when we have more videos ready to go -- so please stay tuned!
