Similarly to Sony with KZ1, sometimes these games are just so old they don't have access to its source data anymore. The interview has some KH3 info in it too. http://www.siliconera.com/2013/06/25/kingdom-hearts-1-data-is-lost-square-had-to-recreate-everything-for-hd/ Edited by Neo Metallix, Jun 26 2013, 10:49 AM.

Might be for the better though, the original Kingdom Hearts did not age well in terms of gameplay at all in my opinion. The redone orchestrated soundtrack is at least very nice and improved. And argh... more info for KHIII will be at TGS this year. Need it to hurry up. ;v;

Porting code is less time consuming, and that way it could have been optimized a bit to polish out any bugs the game had before, as well as optimizing code so it works more efficiently. But it doesn't surprise me too much, companies trash old code to make room for newer games and they never think to keep said code because they never know if the game will get a remake and such. :V

Doesn't bother me too much since it means that theoretically the game will look much nicer. I wouldn't complain if they changed chests to be open-able during battle though. That was probably what I considered the biggest improvement when I started playing KH2 for the first time.

The treasure chests in KH1 usually were out of reach away from the battlefields for the most part anyways. I don't think there were too much just out in the open on a main path, they were usually located on platforms or hiding behind objects.

If so I may get this. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix contains: - Kingdom Hearts Final Mix (The original game, with additional content that was previously only available in Japan) - Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories - HD Cinematics to retell the story of Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days So, yes, it does contain the original game. And one of its sequels. And a cinematic retelling of another sequel.

The music in the KH games is too amazing to be that easily forgotten when listing the content of one of them.

I never did cause I wasen't sure how other people would react to me getting a Disney game...which is a Square game. So yes, massive fail on my part. Course, I may get FFXV too at one point, and the HD remake of FFX as after Spoonys fall out, I have come to question his view on what a "Bad game" is.
