I still sad with Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days ended up as CG cut-scene only, not as fully HD remake game.

They already had to completely rebuild KH1, rebuilding Days to be playable in 1.5 would've been another huge task. But hey, they could probably put it together now with the 1.5/2.5 HD assets, even though I'm doubtful that'll ever happen.

Still, I can totally see a PS4 KHHD happening, it's been a yearly series since Re:CoM, and it'd be a good way to keep that going until KH3.

I keep telling folks to expect it after KH3. KH team is busy. The purpose of the HD collections is to release them(on one console, but now it's platform.) before KH3 like Nomura planned it. He did what he set out to do.

In a perfect world where everything goes right, Days being playable would have happened because Nomura wanted it to be in 3D and to play it with analog sticks, but this is not that world. We are in a world where we can't get everything. The KH3 team are working on KH3 and the HD collections, which is why they are under time constraints. Which is more sad...a repetitive mission galore game not being playable or the most anticipated KH game called KH3, which is the holy grail, being delayed some more and then complain about that? Exactly.

Since 2007(KH2 FM+), it has only missed 2011. That year was one of the worse for KH news in general. lol Good times.

It's only not being able to play KH 1 Through 2, and FF 7, X and X2 that have kept me from officially taking the leap and buying a PS4.
(Oh, and Project Diva F/F2, but since we get most of the favorites back on the new one, I'm waiting to see whether we get the same videos too.)

I'm just not ready to lose the classics quite yet. Embarassed

Actually aside from a few select titles (such as FF7 remake) are usually handled by junior teams with a small group of people from the original project brought back in to assist/direct. The designs, sound, mechanics are already worked out so you actually make due with a fairly small team/development budget. Seeing as the original Kingdom Hearts came out on PS2 we can expect a similar update to what FFX received.

But I grant you Nomura looks to be very hands on with his work and may want to hold off until he can give it the attention he deserves.
