On the JP kingdom hearts twitter account, Nomura confirmed all games will be running at 60fps. Don't know if this applies to the pre-rendered scenes as well but that would be nice.

I assumed that would be the case, but good to have confirmation.

They have multiple teams working on these games. If anything this might be partially responsible for delaying 2.8.

And even if it did delay 3 a bit, with PS4 Pro and other possible iterative consoles, PS5 will likely be very far in the future :P

Actually, the reason for the delay was because of too many other releases happening around the same time (such as FFXV).[DOUBLEPOST=1477583720][/DOUBLEPOST]It's nice that 1.5 and 2.5 will finally be on the PS4, but this is probably better for those who haven't gotten the remasters before. Simply adding 60 FPS isn't enough for me to abandon the PS3 releases, so I personally will stick to those.

Yeah, I did know about that side of it, makes sense to stagger releases. Just wondering now if this contributed at all. Obviously they couldn't talk about it before it was announced.

I hear you. 60fps is nice but doesn't do too much for me. But what I am excited about is the potential for them fixing up some of the bugs and getting overall better performance out of these collections. 2.5 especially is very flawed, with long load times, audio bugs, and frame stutters.

From what I hear the FFX collection got a good loading boost from PS3 to PS4, and higher quality models (people who had board hands got individual fingers). No details so far but it would be nice to see the same treatment here. I would be very surprised if loading/performance was not improved in this version.

KH3 development was never affected. The remasters are done by a smaller, separate team. The only thing that I could think of that would affect the game's development was removing the 0.2 BBS portion (which was originally gonna be KH3's prologue), and adding it to 2.8.[DOUBLEPOST=1477585229][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, the collection will be priced at a reasonable $49.99.

I don't think he ever said he's obligated to make one every year. Just mentioned they had been doing that, or that he was aiming to do that.

To each their own, but a lot of people wanted this for a long time, since before the PS3 collections even released, myself included. Getting to play these games I love, looking and playing (hopefully) better than ever, is exciting to me.

But I also understand how you feel and that's totally valid.

We can only hope :P

Also English trailer is out:

There's a weird voice clip of Kairi(?) when showing KH1 that I don't recognize. Wonder what that's about.

Well we all knew this would happen sooner or later. Let's hope the loading time aren't so awful this time around. And hopefully that Final Xemnas reaction command glitch gets fixed too.

I'm honestly drawing a blank on that quote... Sounds like a re-worded "Wherever you go I'm always with you" quote
It sounds more like Alyson stoner though. Maybe it's just for the trailer.

I asked around on reddit, someone linked to a twitter post of a guy saying it was a previously unreleased take/alternate line of "wherever you go I'm always with you", and that the trailer editor may have grabbed the wrong file. The person (@_branden_) has interviewed Tai Yasue before apparently, but it's questionable if he has any insider information. And it seems odd that they'd hold onto a 14+ year old unused take, but who knows?

I honestly can't pin the voice. If it is Alyson Stoner, it's the closest she's ever sounded to Hayden Panettiere.

If it isn't an old clip, it might mean they're doing a little extra voice acting. The Japanese KH1 CGI ending has Kairi say a line kind of similar to that, and Final Mix has some unvoiced scenes with Riku. I think it's pretty unlikely for them to do that now, but I'm kinda stumped. Would be weird to do voice acting just for the trailer, but possible.
