But the game is not in my hands, therefor all this trailer does is irritate me.
God, December really feels like too long of a wait.
Love how they used the regular version instead of the final mix in the HD/SD comparison
Makes it all seem so much darker :v:
Finished 1.5 just Yesterday.
Still got alot to catch up on.

Well, they probably realize we're far more familiar and used to the original game, since most gamers in the US never saw Final Mix properly. Helps highlight both changes and the enemy palette swaps for FM.
I really can't wait, kingdom hearts 2 final mix is something that I always wanted since I've heard of it.
I've also always wanted to play birth by sleep. I have 1.5 and finished the first game but I really couldn't get into chain of memories.
Seeing the costumes differences confused me at first. Its been a while since I've played Vanilla KH2 and forgot that it is FM only. Aqua also sounded quite different in the trailer.

If anything, the reason why Aqua sounds kinda different is because they most likely re-recorded a bunch of lines for this HD Remix.
I don't like how bright and more colorful Halloween Town suddenly became. Everyone's colors became more vibrant instead of having that washed out look to them.
i replayed all the KH games except BBS just before they announced the two HD collections, but I will try and rent this to play BBS.

Birth By Sleep is my favorite Kingdom Hearts game so far, the soundtrack is absolutely stunning.

It is also the darkest Kingdom Hearts game that i can remember knowing the full story of Terra and Ventus along with the motives of Xehanort who is of course voiced by Leonard fucking Nimoy (Spock) and Eraqus who is voiced by Mark Hamill (The Joker, Luke Skywalker)
I wonder if they actually improved the polycount on the characters. most games assume HD = 480p -> 1080p which does help if you aren't using the old 256x256 ps2 textures, and low polygon models. They may just use the "high-poly" models used in cutscenes in regular gameplay for this.
Huh.. Not very "HD" in my opinion, I can certainly see the differences like the better color, but I have a peeve when HD is slapped on re-releases. I'm not really seeing any extraordinary differences in the texture quality. If anything, the brighter colors really only highlight the texture detail that was already there to begin with, but was probably dulled out by the original darkened stuff. Maybe I'm just too used to how something like Serious Sam HD did "HD".

Im pretty sure they have redone everything. If its like the other HD remasters they've done.

i agree. birth by sleep is definitely my favorite as well. i think its the peak of the KH series as far as i know (havent played DDD yet). also, how could you forget this perfect theme?

the HD Remixes of the Kingdom Hearts games are a lot less redone in comparison to, say, Final Fantasy X's remaster. Final Fantasy X literally gave the entire game a one-over, using the original artwork pieces uncompressed on prerendered backgrounds or having higher-quality textures all over the place. On the flipside, the HD Remixes use higher quality textures for the major characters and certain objects or the like while cleaning up the environment textures a bit, but otherwise just updates the UI and puts the games in widescreen 1080p. It helps that KH2's Final Mix upgraded the graphical quality on characters like Roxas already.
I can''t wait to always pull of Drive Mode only to get that useless heartless drive mode instead
[QUOTE=Sir Drone;45278080]I can''t wait to always pull of Drive Mode only to get that useless heartless drive mode instead[/QUOTE]
It's actually based on invisible variables in the background. If you abuse Drive Forms too much, your chances of transforming into Anti Form raise. Hitting Anti Form will lower your chances for it happening again, as does using the Final Form or getting any new forms at all. And then during certain scripted battles or boss fights, your chances are doubled or more, to the point of 10x the odds of turning Anti in the final boss fights against Xemnas unless you use Final Form.

I think it has the best Dearly Beloved version as well. Perhaps on par with KH Chi.

If there is something I definitely hated with the PSP, it was how cheaply made it felt. Damn thing couldn't stand up to long term abuse like my Nintendo Handhelds have. So I'm delighted to finally have a chance to take a crack at birth by sleep in 2.5

Yeah but during certain boss fights you are pretty much fucked with it (like Demyx.)
And since you don't have a finishing move you can't end boss battles either
