Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review (Part 1 of 3)

Many years ago, this first game hits the store shelves for the PS2 and this an RPG game has a crossover with Disney and Square for parodic fun. This game is called Kingdom Hearts. It's an RPG crossover where Square and Disney characters join forces and fight evil.

Since Square and Enix combined together to make Square-Enix, the company had a major slump when they did a good job announcing Final Fantasy X-2, an RPG game hits the shelves a long time ago. So what did you think when the now Square-Enix had every piece of information? And how will the Kingdom Hearts universe will have this cool collection? For answers, check out the review.

The Story of Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix:

A young man named Sora is living with his friends Riku and Kairi in the Destiny Island. However, a black substance swallows Sora to the unknown world, which is not just a dream, but it's still a dream. There, he came across 3 weapons sword, shield and rod. He uses one weapon and gives up one weapon. He uses a weapon to fight off the spider-like Heartlesses. Heartlesses are one of the bad creatures that goes after the light of the master.

When Sora encountered a storm outside, the spiders of the Heartless species appear out of nowhere. In the area where Riku was at, Sora earns himself the magic weapon that fends off the darkness, the Keyblade. After that, Sora ends himself up at Traverse Town. It's in the other world and it's a town where the adventure begins at.

In the 3rd District, Sora meets up with Donald and Goofy, Mickey Mouse's friends. For the big adventure, they are one for all and all for one! However, in Hollow Bastion, Riku determined that there will be one Keyblade Master and that is him. The main reason why Donald and Goofy abandoned Sora is because of their mission to keep their eyes out for the Key. However, the situation took a turn for the better when Sora informs that he has a weapon is called a heart and the Keyblade returns to him.

About the Keyholes:

When the Keyholes are opened, the Heartlesses come. The reason why the Keyholes are needed to be sealed was so the Heartlesses will be no more.

The Gameplay:

The gameplay and HUD look the same as the PS2 version, but the graphics are different because when playing in 720p, the texture changed. In 1.5 Remix, the green Triangle button command appears at the top of the command list. It was the same feature from Kingdom Hearts II. Also, new cutscenes, color changes and more are in 1.5 Remix. While outside of battle, the command list turns blue while the command list turns red in combat. It has the same thing from the classic .hack//. Unlike the Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts has a different level up system that can offer you one or two things on every level. You may know that 1.5 Remix didn't have Kingdom Hearts II, but it'll be on 2.5 Remix, which Square Enix has finally announced. If you have a Summon stone, then you are able to summon a character. Each of the Summon stone can be used once on every battle. Some has MP. When it reaches 0, they can be dismissed. You can dismiss a Summon character by selecting Dismiss on the list. You are most likely to play as Sora. If you choose the Attack command many times, you perform a combo. There will be abilities and they can be equipped with the right amount of AP. As the game progress, you learn new Magic and upgrade Magic as well. There will also be some brutal attacks called special attacks and supportive techniques that consume MP. The yellow line on the top part of the MP gauge is Little MP. When it reaches a certain point, you earn 1 MP.

Here, Kingdom Hearts has a Gummi Ship, a flying object that takes them to another world. You can edit your Gummi Ship using the measurements. Stars represent how hard the mission will be. Some blueprints are redesigned while some aren't redesigned.

Pros:

+Same gameplay from the PS2 version.
+Awesome combat experience.
+Making a Gummi Ship is very creative work.
+Gameplay quality from .hack//.

Cons:

-Kingdom Hearts' level up system is tedious.

I can't give it a score yet until part 3 of the Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix review.

Kingdom Hearts Rundown

Not only I get to play 1.5 Remix soon, I have found something productive that I'm gonna write a rundown about Kingdom Hearts, an RPG game where Square and Disney characters join forces for a parodic and obvious fun. The first Kingdom Hearts game was released for the PS2, which is many years ago. Although you may not experience it, but Kingdom Hearts has some aspects on the Final Fantasy series, as well as Magic and stuff. Disney's characters join well with the characters on Square. Unlike the Final Fantasy series, Kingdom Hearts has a Gummi Ship, a flying object that can take them on a parodic journey. Its gameplay is different than Final Fantasy because during battle, the command list turns red and when outside of battle, the command list turns blue. It has that similar feature from the .hack// series for the PS2, but different.

In the first game, Sora, the main character of Kingdom Hearts, uses a Keyblade as a weapon for the first time and it's capable of lighting the darkness and to make everyone happy once and for all. On Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance, you don't get to play as just Sora, but Riku as well. Below is a list of Kingdom Hearts games so far.

Kingdom Hearts games:

Kingdom Hearts (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts II (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories (PS2)
Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (GBA)
Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep (PSP)
Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days (DS)
Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded (DS)
Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (3DS)
Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5/2.5 Remix (PS3)
Kingdom Hearts III (Xbox One and PS4)

These are the Kingdom Hearts games that are announced so far above. If you're a big fan of Kingdom Hearts, then you should have known about it by now while I conclude the Kingdom Hearts Rundown.

Just ordered Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix today!

After a demand for a Kingdom Hearts remake in HD, Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix finally releases to the west! I always loved Kingdom Hearts because it's a crossover with Disney and Square-Enix characters for obvious fun. Plus, I made sure that I've finally ordered it and I did it, in a sneaky way during my Backloggiversary today! Thanks to Square-Enix's hard working, we been wanting a Kingdom Hearts HD Collection for years. As you may know, fans, 1.5 Remix has Kingdom Hearts Final Mix HD, Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories and a DS game that was ended up as a movie without any gameplay that is about 3 hours, and that is Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. (Again, I should get the popcorn) I read the news about Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 Remix was officially announced and I can't wait for that, too. Here, 2.5 Remix will have Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep and the one that was also ended up a movie as well, and that is Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded. With Kingdom Hearts III coming soon for the Xbox One and PS4, there's hope! Sadly, I couldn't beat Dream Drop Distance because it's really a tough game to play and it's a different game that you can switch from Sora and Riku and has a Drop Gauge as a time limit. Worse, I have gotten sashimied by a boss like 5 times! Maybe it was the difficulty I chose if I recall right. But in 1.5 Remix, it's not the case. This is hard to do since it's a collection, so for the review, I'll write it in 3 parts. Part 1 will be Kingdom Hearts Final Mix HD. Part 2 will be Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories. Finally, part 3 will be Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.
