358/2 days remake would so good

Who wants to tell him that Tarzan is public domain now? Been public domain since 2020.

"I recommended KH1 to start the series, but because of how it aged, it left a poor impression." "So let's make KH1R a meta commentary on the series" Mate, this doesn't solve the issue at all.

Nah, 358/2 needs the remake treatment a lot more. KH1 already got the Final Mix

What's funny to me is that if they did end up making a kh 1 remake, we know that Nomura would absolutely make it tie into the story in some way. There's almost no reason to and he wouldn't have to but he would.

we *NEED* a remake of 358/2 Days! Main character being Roxas ✅ Playing as all Organization 13 members ✅ Arguably the best self-contained story in the franchise ✅ Multiplier co-op on missions ✅ The limits for each character you play as ✅ Duel-wield Roxas ✅

we are still YEARS out from this. it still feels way to early

If they did remakes instead of all of these ports... then It'd be a little more justifiable to buy kingdom hearts again. At this point, Kingdom Hearts is up there with Skyrim with it's re-releases

Kh1 doesnt need a remake before 385/2 days or recoded

Absolutely not for 2 reasons. They would just port the physics from KH3 to 1 when the whole narrative point of Sora is how his air game gets higher each game and Nomura would just re contextualize the story

I respect your opinion but I don’t think it needs one. It’s time to move on. We are at a new saga, let’s get it

No remake. KH4 needs to be next

Kh1 doesn't need a remake

I think you’re missing the forest for the trees. The only parts of KH1 that might’ve aged poorly is probably just navigation since the later games were more straightforward with its level design. If difficulty is a barrier then new players can just play the game on easy and if figuring out where to go is getting annoying then consider consulting a walkthrough if they get lost. I agree that there might be some quirks that old PS2-era games have that wouldn’t get a pass today but acting as if it makes the first KH game impenetrable to a new player might be a bit of an exaggeration.

KH1 really does not need it, at least not graphically. The only things that need improvement is the movement and camera, but even that is just part of the era. People can learn to deal with it. Is it frustrating? Yes. But that is also a good life lesson. Not everything is easy or will cater to what you want. Some times you just have to put more effort in.

Square can never capture the magic of KH1. It does not have the talented people that made KH1 so great. KH1 is a masterpiece.

Bro says "kh1 is rudimentary" while showing the stupid pirate boat summon from 3.... if that's what being not rudimentary gets you, then by all means, please keep the games rudimentary.

The main thing which I'm not sure about is how the changes in gameplay also show the growth of sora.

A Kingdom Hearts 1 Remake should include Chain Of Memories as an epilogue in my opinion. I'd really love to see this

Quick question- if Tarzan is copyrighted, how was 1.5 made for the ps4?

I had this exact theory... except movies and not games. I think, instead of Sora existing in a video game in the "real world," the Disney movies appear as movies. That is, Yozora has seen Sleeping Beauty, Frozen, Moana, etc. -- but perhaps the versions of them with Sora interfering! And this will also be how Sora returns to Disney worlds, by using the keyblade on a TV or something while the movie plays lol

My nostalgia says the clunky movement is part of the experience. But after going through monstro again i changed my mind, especially once i started with kh 2

Maybe for games like 358/2 Days and Re: Coded, but leave the others alone.

If I recall dream drop distance was originally supposed to be a KH1 remake during early development so it isn't like they haven't attempted remaking the classics beforehand. Also side tangent but can someone please explain to me why anyone wants 358/2 days and recoded to get remakes? Recoded is already remake so I think it'd just be redundant to remake a remake. And Days while having arguably the best story in the series, also has the worst gameplay out of all the franchise.

Bruh we don’t need a kingdom hearts remake period idk why some people want a kh1 remake , we have all these ports that include the kh games just play kh1 through those , ff7 was a different matter ff7 came out on the ps1 and the graphics looked blockie as for most ps1 games were but kh 1 and 2 looked good for PS2 titles and still do chain of memories got remade for ps2 yea but that’s most likely because they wanted to add dialogue not just text blocks and make it 3d , but as I say we don’t need a kh1 remake or kh2 leave those games alone

Nah, I'll stop you right there, we don't need remakes, the games already get rereleased every couple of years, and they both look and play great. Not to mention the amount of side games that reuse assets and retread the story. Better to just focus on making KH4 and other new games (maybe even more DLC for KH3 if we're so desperate for new content).

if they remade KH1 they would also take that stylistic charm out of it somehow.

idk if i can see square remaking a remix game. it'd mean releasing it seperate from all the bundles and i think theyd see it as a bad plan to have 2 versions lying around. ff7 feels different because its been fundamentally changed so much. kh1 doesnt have as much leg room without changin story beats or lore

No they don’t, remakes are saturating the video game market. Fk remakes, make new stuff and continue your IP’s instead of going backwards. Smh..

I think KH1 is pretty well aged i actually enjoy it more than KH2 the first one doesn't need a remake

If there is still the "You stupid" line from Sora I see no reason to be against this idea

These are good ideas but idk im so nostalgic about KH1. Even though its kinda clunkly and its easy to get lost in some of the worlds, I can't say that I find myself hating any aspect of it (except the gummiship missions those are terrible ngl). I do agree the camera is hard to work with sometimes and the platforming is difficult to use but I find those quirks charming. KH1 is by far one of my favorite games to play out of the whole series. I always have so much fun playing through it. I don't really think it needs to be changed. I like it the way it is flaws and all.

I don’t know. :p Realistically if it were to happen, I’ll be all over it so it won’t even matter. As much as I kinda lost hope to see an official remake for 358/2 Days, I will always support an idea for that game to be remade above all else. Lol But I can also understand the possibility of a remake for KH1 at this point in time. KH1 was a game you really had to grew up in that time to really appreciate or grasp. But I welcome vast improvements if it takes a remake to do so. Further more if it potentially appeals more new comers.

Why does everything have to be a remake with you people? All you want to do is be fed the same games over and over and over again by devs who want to exploit your nostalgia!

Thinking about Yozora saying "I've been having these weird thoughts lately" because he played kingdom hearts as a kid made me wanna cry 😭

Nope on the voice acting replacement part. plus it will ruin Haley joe voice and Haley joe legacy of him as sora

No it’s not…chain of memories and the other things only needed a “remaster” or “remake” if you wanna call it cuz people only really played the MAIN VERSION of the franchise the others were not that important to people so they brought them to the main so people can enjoy the stories they never knew. KH1 doesn’t need nothing done to it but what they been doing.

In Re:CoM’s defense, the translation took longer to happen and released after 2 for everywhere else outside of Japan. But I agree. Having Haley Joel Osment redo the vocals for the first would help a ton for both remaking the first and making the current form of the series feel more complete and coherent.

I would also add that this would make Square Enix more money by the fact that instead of customers having to wait for new entries to the series that you can tide them over with remakes of the old games while still working on the newer entries. I would also add a Dark Road Remake too as I would love to play as Young Xehanort in full 3D HD and not have to pay for services.

Before a remake of the original, I would first prefer proper remakes of 358/2 days, Coded and X.

With how many times KH1 has gotten a retread, we don’t need to waste time on a remake

You really don’t have to convince square to do this

If anything I want KH1&2 to be reverse engineered like Zelda OT, MM, and Mario 64.

I can see 2 reasons as to why they should remake kh1 Kh1 was the only game to include a heavy focus on platforming other than the rpg systems, beside kh2's cavern of remembrance, so remaking it could give them ideas to better implement platforming in future entries, it also gave a good focus on exploration and going back to older areas with new abilities, such as the trinities, getting that system back or something of the sort would give world exploration some much needed deapth, like unlocking an ability in a future world that could be used in one of the first worlds to unlock a new area with a unique accessory or miniboss, also kh1 was the only kingdom hearts game, as far as I remember that gave you keyblades outside of world completion, major story events or defeating some kind of boss, like the pinochio keyblade that you only get if you talk to gepetto in traverse town, getting keyblades as a reward for exploration or sidequests would be pretty good Number 2 is that Kh1 is a bit clunky sometimes, it holds up very well even in 2024, but some gameplay systems could be ironed out to give a more fluid experience, for example the gummy ship missions by making it mostly optional like kh3 or making it a genuinely interesting mini game like kh2

What music is being used around the 5:00 mark. It sounds so familiar

The PS2 & PS5 logo style swap in the thumbnail is hella slick 👌🏿.

One thing I would want for this remake is to change the party system to the Kingdom Hearts 3 party system play you don't have to worry about Trinity

I wouldn’t be surprised if a Kingdom Hearts Remake releases. I would imagine that it would be called something like “Kingdom Hearts Final Remix”. I imagine it would be step one of a plan to remake the core trilogy starting with KH1 Final Remix and then eventually doing KH2 Final Remix and KH3 Final Remix with a possibility of doing more like Dream Drop Distance, Birth By Sleep, and others. Knowing Square they would probably make it exclusive to a certain console, and my guess would actually be the Switch 2! It’s been rumored that Square wants to release KH4 on all major consoles including thinking about releasing it on Switch 2, so how hype would it be that during a Nintendo Direct they announce a KH1 Final Remix with gameplay and then announce that they also plan to make remakes of the other 2 down the road similar to how the Dragon Quest HD-2D Remakes were shown off. It would be a great way to get a massive new audience on the Nintendo side of things and either get Nintendo players ready for KH4 or release the Final Remix’s instead of KH4!

KH1 doesn’t need a remake, 358/2 days does.

I love the idea that Sora and more importantly The Players would play this "Kingdom Hearts" and be like "That's not what happened..."

I tried getting my best friend into KH but she’s at the Wonderland world and is already starting to get frustrated with the camera and lack of objectives for knowing where to go and how to defeat a boss. Also she hates how Sora can’t block yet and thinks he’s clunky. She thinks that Donald and Goofy suck as party members cuz they keep dying. She’s feeling pretty unmotivated to finish it but I keep telling her that it gets better in the future games. She still isn’t convinced that it will though, so any suggestions on how I can get her to keep going?

During one of my latest playthroughs of kh1 I noticed that in like Neverland you can use potions in midair whereas you cannot otherwise like you can in kh3 so if KH1 and 2 got a remake like the modern KH games we have today I would definitely like to see the use of potions in midair it's very minor but I think it would be a nice little addition

Wow i like the idea!

If we get a remake a change I would love is adding another story based Super boss like Xemnas, and have it be either Marluxia or Axel since they are the main villains of chain of memories and we don’t know their missions before Roxas joined, or have it be somekind of illusion like the CoM fights in KH2 of Vanitas’s remains in BBS, and it could be someone like Terranort or something like that.

They need to fix the targeting system. So you attack in the direction the stick is pointed. Instead of who is next to you.

Me still wishing we got a PS2 version of 358/2 Days so I could experience Roxas's story in HD while also playing a game

honestly the anecdote with your friend sounds like a skill issue lmao

I'd be onboard with this if they rewrote the 3rd game

I don't agree at all. Alot of the problems in the series are addressed by playing other games in the series. You think the story has plot holes ? The other games at least make attempts to fill stuff in. You think the gamefeel is bad ? Just play kingdom hearts 3 You want to experience the specific disney worlds for yourself? Get the remake bundle You think soras voice changed too much between kingdom hearts 1 and 2 ? Tough luck. That's such a weird nitpick Your not solving any problems and everything can be addressed by an antgology collection on new gen consoles ( kingdom hearts 2.5 and 2.8 bundled together )

Naaaaahhhhhhhhh let's just keep moving forward and stick to new titles. I respect your point of view, but It's probably best to keep KH1 and the rest as they are, with an exception of the Union Cross title.

I’d rather they focus on creating new games first😂

The only thing I would dread is the hours we have to spend lost in Tarzan's world.

I would not miss Deep Jungle for a SECOND, you slap ANYTHING else in there and I’m good. 10-year old me got so freaking lost in there I still wake up with cold sweats about it 🤣. Although my friend never realized he could switch Keyblades manually so he accident went all the way through the Ursula fight with the Jungle King because it was the only one that auto-switched for him..😅 so he’d lose a key part of his play through 😝

Damn, I didn't think watching this would make me so hyped for a game that is only theoretical, lol. If KH1 Remake ever does see the light of day, I really hope they introduce the concepts that you bring up! Great video, man!

If KH1 gets a remake, the thing I want the most is every party member at the same time like KH3

I’d definitely be up for a from the Ground Up Remake of the original Kingdom Hearts for the reasons you just mentioned. This would also redeem another disliked world, Atlantica. It could use the swimming controls from The Caribbean in Kingdom Hearts III and make the world a lot more fun to traverse.

Tarzan had a cameo in the simpsons recently, maybe Kh can use him now?

I'm already losing my mind waiting for 4. I don't think we have been starved this long of information on the next entry

4:35 This narrative setup would actually be crazy, and it fits KH like a glove

I don't know about a full fledge remake but I would love a definitive edition of both Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2 with Kingdom Hearts 3 graphics. Imagine the Port Royal world from Kingdom Hearts 2 but it's presented like The Caribbean from KH3 with the characters looking even more realistic. They could even make Sora, Donald and Goofy look realistic to actually fit the world setting better like they did in KH3. It looked odd back then when you visited Port Royal and they had Jack, Will and others look realistic but Sora Donald and Goofy still had their cell shaded graphics look in that world.

to be honest i started kingdom hearts with the 1st game . and i am still very happy about it !

To be honest, i went back and beat KH1 just a couple days ago. And having also touched RE:CoM and BbS again.... KH1 is fine as it is. It's a little clunky, but all it really needs to be on the level of the other titles is a zoomed out camera and a mini map. I'm sure there's gotta be a mod for that eventually. Square took years to get the whole collection out to playstation and then to port it to PC. And honestly, it still looks and plays better than ps3 games do. So I'd rather them cook up how to evolve the next couple games.

This video is interesting because the whole point of it is to make the games more inviting for new fans and to improve the quality of them for new fans. Yet it's all the existing fans who are saying this idea is pointless when it's noT FOR YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE

I don’t wanna go back to grind for the defender shield for goofy again for the platinum

Give me this remake now

I'm a bit skeptical about a remake due to gameplay reasons. Imo gameplay is king, kingdom hearts 1 has some very interesting combat mechanics when it comes to magic, damage storage etc. I remember there was tech you could pull off in the old spyro games but you can't do it in the reignited trilogy because the laws of physics are a bit different. If intricate things get lost in translation to better graphics, personally I would rather development costs be put into making games that will progress the story instead of remaking. With final fantasy games in general what I just said Is meaningless because they are for the bigger part turn based games to some extent.

They technically remade the first game when they released 1.5 on PS3 since Square Enix lost the original source code from Squaresoft.

I think that the entire dark seeker saga as an open world next gen game would be dope

Would be awful to remake them after so many rereleases and they ALL hold up. Theres already reason to buy the game 3+times.

Since Dark Road doesn't require a unique player, it could be cool to have a movie of it. Like KH Back Cover but slightly longer. That way we can cap off that story. Also, remake Union Cross but as a fighting game similar to the Naruto Ninja Storm games. Include cool cinematics and unlock voiced cinematics that we can rewatch as a full movie upon completion of the game.

The things I would like them to do if they remade KH1 is: Add the Lava titan and Tornado titan to the coliseum. Add Bahamut as a summon. In order to get him you have to... 1. Reach the last save point before Ansem. 2. Beat all the coliseum and Secret bosses. 3. Complete all synthesis recipes. 4. Complete Jiminy's journal. Then fight him as a secret boss where you fight Chernobog at the End of the World. Make the party like KH3 where everyone is out and not just 3 at a time, this would require rebalancing the game in certain worlds but not by much since it is KH1. Boss refights like in Mario RPG that are harder than the original. Maybe even make a training boss in Merlin's room to have Sora test his magic, like a mini Phantom or something. It may be wishful thinking that KH1 would get remade but hey most thought Sora would never get in Smash because of Disney and yet he did so as far as I can tell that was like almost zero chance of happening so a remake of KH1 should be higher than that... right?

Kh5 in 2035 built up with each game getting a re: makes💀

Well if does happen they have to retconned the first game,and make it connect the 4th one.The chain of memories remake ending was different it showed the organization 13 instead of you seeing older Sora sleeping.

I'm playing it right now on proud mode, level 1, no accessory changes and it still holds up. So, in my opinion, we need the mobile games to be remade more than anything else.

better drop rates for the synthesis so you don't have this grind(ish) feeling for acquiring ultima

I want to see Keyblade transformations for the KH1 keyblades Like Wishing Star Turning into something that puppeteers Heartless enemies in its finisher

I think we could do both where the KH1 Remake is the game inside Verum Rex's world but at the same time work as not a reboot but an updated insert into the universe where instead of the original you play this, unlike with FF7 Remake where it worked as a sort of sequel/alternate timeline, this would simply be an alternative way to start the series. I also think they should use the same/similar art style to KH1 2 or 3 and not go fully into the HD style they got for KH4 just cause it feel weird playing KH1 if it was an art style like KH4 trailer then in KH2 it was that old style design but that's just me.

I can see this been like a pooh bear style world. Where you gotta collect saved files! And you play thru the worlds like that.

Im hoping that we get another release somewhat like 2.8 was, just drop a bundled package of 1 remade and have 358 in a modern platform with little re work. Drop union cross as a 3d viewable movie and theyre cooking. Be something to hold the fanbase over until 4 is ready.

they shouldve made an offline khux version. like you can play everything every event every raid boss you could get every medal with in game currency you earn and unlock events and medals like that. like seperate currency that didnt exist before

I'd be all for this concept! A kh1 remake that connects to kh4 would be absolutely amazing!

The biggest reason I think a modern remake wouldn't work is the insane attention-to-detail the current KH1 has in it, with world design interactions and little secrets. A remake may improve the overall gameplay and quality-of-life features, but may risk losing the charm of the hidden details everyone continues to praise KH1 for, and hearken back to when realizing no follow-up game in the series has truly come close to it since (0.2 & 3 being the only ones that flirt with the concept). There's SO many techniques I feel wouldn't be given the attention of remaking 1-to-1 and instead be overlooked for streamlining. As much as I love 0.2 and KH3's push to start including this type of design again, it's still lacking, and KH3's version (since it's the full-length game) of "attention-to-detail" really wouldn't do classic KH1 justice if just tranlated to a modern KH1 remake. To this day, we're STILL discovering new things in KH1 that weren't widely known back then. A lot of that comes from not just the game development style of PS2 days, but also the lightning-in-a-bottle team and the initial setting back then of making a risky new IP with no expectations, no stress on appeasing to/streamlining for certain audiences, and all passion in game-making. This one sort of needs to be preserved, recognized, and lowkey studied as a testament to genuinely clever and great game design that has stood the test of time and clunkiness. Other current IP games, developers, players, and even future games in the KH series can still learn so much from how KH1 currently is. I hope KH4 and forward can really bring those elements back in full force. Then maybe, once the current team has gotten that understanding, they can really discuss making a worthwhile remake. Or at the very least, know how to direct the separate team that would have to take the mantle, while the main team keeps making new games at the same time.

I would be afraid Square would try to "expand" on the original. Kingdom Hearts 1 is so good because it is great as a self contained story

I don’t think it does.

Need a 358/2 Days remake PLEASE😭

I think if they remake it then they should have you find the dalmatians instead of being in a chest. I think that would be cool and feel more a live

I'm using this idea for my fan fiction.

I just 100% Kingdom Hearts 1 just because I wanted the nostalgia trip. I'm just missing the dream shield but the magic arts from the white mushrooms are such a pain

It needs a remake i struggled to get into the series too because of kingdom hearts. Luckily i bought both 1.5 and 2.5 remixes because randomly i started playing kingdom hearts 2 and it changed my life

On the deep jungle world, you wouldn't actually need to remove it. Tarzan is now in the public domain and any characters disney created are owned by them.
