#Kingdom hearts hd 1.5 remix poster upgrade
The result of the resolution upgrade is simply stunning - a true testament to Square Enix’s visual design work. Now I'm approaching the end of my play through, I can offer some thoughts - and while it's still the game at first glance, it really is worth noting that there's quite a bit past that first glance that sets it apart from your typical HD upgrade. It was an easy decision for me to drop the cash on the Japanese version after Square Enix made clear that the Western release would lag some six months behind the Japanese one. Also included are story sequences from 358/2 days and the fully playable PS2 version of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories it's a value package. PS3 users do get some late-generation love from Square Enix, though - in the form of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, a high definition visual remaster of the original seminal game. There have been spin-off handheld titles, sure enough, but the series has as good as skipped this entire console generation, with the newly announced Kingdom Hearts III heading to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It's strange, then, that it feels like we've had to wait so long for a 'proper' new Kingdom Hearts game. Bolstered by the incredible success of the PS2 and a post-FFVII Squaresoft that was still on a roll, Kingdom Hearts was an explosive hit that became a series that even threatened to potentially eclipse its cousin Final Fantasy. For many, the original Kingdom Hearts represents the height of a golden age of Japanese RPGs.
