Birth by Sleep look awesome! The textures are really crisp. I bet they originally created them in high-quality, then down rezed them to work with the PSP. Since it's a fairly recent game, they probably knew it would be re-released in HD eventually.

Looks like they darkened Sora's hair (and fixed his eyelashes in that scene where he's sleeping) a bit so it's more consistent with his younger self, which is good. Though I wonder why they decided to make Aqua's hair darker, like it was in the first couple of trailers.

Also I hope they fix Roxas' shirt texture for the release, so it doesn't stretch out like that. That always bothered me.

Excited for this: can't wait to see more!

Yep, what he said. The scattered pieces of ground in that area are shaped like triangles/arrows. Just follow where they point and the walls won't be a problem.

Jafar never told Genie to capture her, and he didn't. Genie was in the middle of rescuing her, as per Aladdin's second wish, but got interrupted when the lamp switched owners. He disappeared back into the lamp while holder her, and she fell into a pot-spider Heartless, which was also under Jafar's control. The Heartless captured her. No plot hole there.

*mild spoilers*

I think Majestic Wings was a good fit. The others not quite as much, but I don't mind them experimenting. At any rate, it served as a good musical contrast when the story went from upbeat "dreamlike" to dark and "nightmarish" by the end. It was all supposedly part of the test, so the danger didn't feel particularly real in the beginning. It feels more like an adventure than a desperate struggle.

I really didn't see any difference in terms of being clearer. Obviously an improvement having it fully voiced and animated, with more interesting camera angles, but aside from being able to hear their tone of voice, I don't think it was any more or less clear. A lot of scenes were the same, almost word for word. I think it just made it easier to absorb because you can see the entire story over 3 hours, rather than 30-50 hours.

Days is actually one of my favorite stories in the series (along with Birth by Sleep). It's extremely experimental (taking place over a year, with a lot of everyday, sometimes boring conversations), and they took a lot of risks (ie. Xion's hood being mistaken as a really bad continuity problem), but I think it had the most realistic character development in the entire series. You see a friendship slowly and awkwardly develop between people who don't understand themselves and are told that they have no emotions. When problems start forming they don't confront it directly because it's uncomfortable, or they feel it's none of their business, and when it reaches the breaking point, the drama is totally justified, because you see it building up. Axel tries desperately to keep the three of them together, over the span of at least 100 days, but is still powerless to stop anything, and you can see his frustration culminate over time until he finally explodes at Xion. Roxas' identity crisis makes complete sense, with how much he comes to distrust the organization, and after learning about Sora and Xion. Every action and reaction felt like the logical next step for each character.

And I absolutely love Axel and Saix's relationship. They both want to keep their friendship alive but they consistently fail to communicate properly. At several points it looks like they want to scream in each other's faces, but they're too prideful to actually do it.

Did they actually add any scenes? There was maybe one or two that I didn't recognize, but I could have just forgotten about them.

What exactly are the MIDI files? Where and why do they appear on the disk, since it doesn't seem to be in the game itself?

I'm still not 100% sure what he's saying there, haha. Sounds like "Oh, had it fellers" or "Oh added fillers". *shrug*

Some of Xigbar's lines I couldn't understand in battle, like "New backdrop" (when changing the arena) and "Look what I saved for ya" (starting his most powerful combo).

If you want to rename them, you're free to do that.

There are actually some unused audio clips from the Xemnas battles that never made it into the game (at least I haven't heard them). Possibly others too. I did it mainly so people can use them for things like trailers, AMV's, animations, etc. without having background music or sound effects drowning it out. Plus I think it's interesting to hear just voices : you hear things that you couldn't before.

The reason they're unnamed is because I did them alongside cutscene dialog, and it would have taken a long time to go through the 4,000+ files and rename them.

Sorry about Aladdin's missing dialog, but I couldn't find it in the disk's ISO. There are also several scenes from the game that are missing. They must be in weird directories or weird file formats. I searched for them but no luck.
