Square Enix has announced the long awaited (and rumored) Kingdom Hearts HD collection in the form of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX but its not exactly what we expected.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX (yes that’s how its typed) includes the original Kingdom Hearts 1 in Final Mix form and Kingdom Hearts RE: COM (Chain of Memories) original released for the Game Boy Advance and then remade for the PS2. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 HD ReMIX will also include Kingdom Hearts 358/2 albeit not in playable form, cutscenes from the game will be viewable in the game’s theater mode. Along with the much coveted HD treatment both Kingdom Hearts 1: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts RE: COM will be getting full trophy support.
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX releases next year in Japan and hopefully in other areas too, teaser site can be found here.

Now my complain with the announcement is that why isn’t Birth By Sleep which as fans of the series might know is the prequel to the first game in this HD collection. It would only make sense as far as the story is concerned since and its weird how they included parts of 358/2 days which came out after Kingdom Hearts 2 but story wise takes place after Chain of Memories which takes place after Kingdom Hearts 1. Hopefully Square is planning more Kingdom Hearts HD collections like Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX for the future (Kingdom hearts HD ReMIX 2.5 anyone?)
Its been more than a year since Final Fantasy X HD has been announced which Square is taking its sweet time with, with that in mind is taking development of a brand new project smart? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
