Now, a decade later, the game has received one full-fledged PS2 sequel, a whopping five portable spinoffs and prequels, and the long-awaited third home console entry is finally on the horizon. The original title that kicked off the series first launched on the PlayStation 2 back in 2002, and I still have good memories of getting sucked into the unique mashup of iconic Disney movies and both gameplay and visual tropes from JRPGs, such as the developer’s own Final Fantasy.
And, in Birth By Sleep Final Mix for Xbox One, during the Fruitball minigame, Aqua accidentally spikes the fruits downward instead of in front of her when the player goes in to spike them.When it comes to gaming series that got their start near the beginning of the century, one of the major titles that springs to mind is Square Enix’s now long-running Kingdom Hearts franchise.
The remastered cutscenes for 358/2 Days and Re:Coded are still left in 720p and lack anti-aliasing.Its placement instead follows order of release, as it came out 5 years after II and a couple weeks before the final episode of coded in Japan. Birth By Sleep Final Mix is the only game to not be listed chronologically - it is listed after II but before Re:coded, despite being a prequel to the original Kingdom Hearts.As such, 358/2 Days is listed before Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix in the sorting, even though 358/2 Days came out 4 years after II did in Japan and, thus, acts as a prequel to it. The games are listed in mostly-chronological order and not order of release.Even though this collection was released on PS4 in 2017 before Kingdom Hearts III, it was released on Xbox One the next year after Kingdom Hearts III was released 2020.Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX received "generally favorable" reviews on Metacritic getting a metascore of 84/100 on PS4. In the Xbox One port, there's a new skip option for the opening cinematic of Kingdom Hearts Final Mix.In the Xbox One port, this is included as part of the game and is already available. The second DLC was an expansion of Day 357 in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days with a new cutscene of Roxas fighting Xion's Final Form. The first DLC was a Theater Mode for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, which was previously the only game in the HD sets not to have one.
Following the patch update in June 2017, the first DLC content for the Kingdom Hearts series was added to the Playstation Store.Initially, bugs and glitches found in the PS3 releases of the games were still present and even some new ones were found after Square Enix implemented a patch to play the games in 60 frames per second. Patch updates were released in the following months to fix these initial flaws in the game, though some remain, albeit very rare, or a few new ones were found since these patches.All of the trophies from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded were removed from the PS4 release.A few changes make some trophies easier to collect and less time consuming than their earlier counterparts, such as being able to stack the difficulty level trophies for Kingdom Hearts Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix by completing the game at a higher difficulty level, or the Gummi Ship Collector trophy now requiring 30 Gummi Ship Blueprints.As the PSN trophies that are listed for this game are considered separate from the PS3 releases, they must be acquired separately.This also fixes the loading glitch that previously affected the Drive Forms in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and the Dimension Links in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix.
