The compilation currently is only scheduled for release in the U.S. Check out the announcement below:

At long last, our cutscene archive is complete. We're finishing things off with the scenes from Kingdom Hearts Final Mix on PS4. I used the new "Theater Mode" that was added to 1.5+2.5 to smooth out a few audio transitions, but that aside, all audio/video was captured in-game.

Make sure to check out the "Extra + Alternate Scenes" file as well. There's tons of bonus content, like summon animations, secret bosses, miscellaneous short clips, and some rare alternate scenes that many of you have probably never seen before.

Oh! And while we're here, if you previously downloaded the cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep - A fragmentary passage -, I suggest you re-download the two scenes "Forest of Thorns" and "Ending". I made some further edits to reduce the stuttering in those scenes.

And that's that. We eagerly await the release of KH3, but for now, do what you will with these vids. Big thanks to @libregkd for updating our Cutscene Archive as it continued to grow.

Peace!

Hey everyone! Just in time for the release of 1.5 + 2.5, we're finishing off the 2.8 collection with the Dream Drop Distance cutscenes, subtitle free. Naturally, this is a huge step up in quality over the original 3DS scenes. I hope you all enjoy using these however you see fit.

On the subject of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMix, I'd like to talk about what you can expect in terms of cutscene uploads. First off, we won't be re-recording Re:Chain of Memories, 358/2 Days, or Re:Coded. Those cutscenes are all pre-rendered, and have no graphical changes whatsoever on the PS4 version. And since there doesn't seem to be an option to disable subtitles on the collection, there would be no point in doing that again. And another note, I'll likely be recording Birth by Sleep first. I've heard talk of occasional stuttering during scene transition in KH2, so I'll delay that in case they have a patch that fixes it. And KH1 will be saved for last, since we've already got HD cutscenes for 1, granted with a few missing scenes, and of course slightly lower resolution, since the PS3 version was upscaled 1080p, as opposed to native 1080p.

But that's all future talk. For now, you can download the new DDD scenes, the rest of 2.8, and more from our Cutscene Archive. Big ups to @libregkd for his continual support on keeping it organized and up to date.
