Can we talk a moment about the redone voice lines for Roxas in combat? He sounds considerably less... Roxas-like. And more Ventus-like. Its almost criminal to remove him going "RAH!" when finishing a combo.

[@narutoboy423]

Wait they were redone? I thought they had just literally took Ventus Voice Lines from BBS and gave them to Roxas

[@kevinkaslana9060]

Yes. In the remaster, Roxas' grunts were made almost identical to Ven's grunts. A little bit of a shame, but I think it's cool.

[@soraandkairi1194]

@@kevinkaslana9060 A good amount of Roxas’s voice clips were recycled from Days on the DS as well which honestly works very well!

incredible detail!

[@seraslain962]

Kingdom Hearts 2 probably had the best battles, a mix of player-driven and cutscene-driven. The best of both worlds. You get the intensity and the player agency of the interactive sections whilst the well-timed reactions turned the fight into a cutscene for a short while. These cutscenes would generally be really well choreographed so you get to see what the player character can do. It's unfortunatley the best way to make an interactive fight feel like something out of a movie like the Matrix at the moment. VR should hopefully change things by suggesting a response to you and letting you do the rest from a special position, such as consciously aiming a sword to parry another sword whilst you're falling to the ground? Eh, the ultimate fantasy of an action game is an interactive and well-choreographed battle between the player-character and a boss character.

[@kazumak.1542]

The world's were too linear for my liking. They are called world's for a reason. Should have made them like kh1

Imma be honest, I just started getting into Kingdom Hearts again and I started noticing the differences in the music. I prefer the original if I’m being honest. It’s still a great remix.

[@theidioticgamer893]

This is no ducking remix what the duck are you Talking about

[@therapeface4153]

@@theidioticgamer893 It's a (worse) remaster of KH2's PS2 soundtrack. A good number of songs are better in the remaster, but the original blows some tracks like this one out of the water

[@ruinedracooon]

@@theidioticgamer893 except it is. Most of the tracks got remixed, listen to desire for all that is lost, both versions and you will definitely hear a difference.

[@footestomp]

I agree for a lot of these tracks. I liked the synthetic violin over the real one for tracks like KH2’s overworld theme and The Thirteenth Struggle, but I blame some of that on nostalgia. The biggest problem about the remastered tracks is the bad equalizer. Sometimes, there are instruments in tracks that you were supposed to hear, but you can barely hear them anymore when remastered. An example is in A Fight to the Death where you’re supposed to hear the piano play a segment of Dearly Beloved, but it’s barely audible. Another example is the piano that was originally GOING TO TOWN at the beginning of Sinister Shadows is now blown off the radar by the violas/drums/cellos. I can still recognize the instruments but I get saddened about it because other friends and my spouse might not even realize and appreciate all of the detail of the music you’re supposed to hear and feel when their first playthrough is the remastered game.

[@rivahgotmusic]

There's so much more going on in the mid and bass levels in this new version. I think because the older version didn't have so much going on in those ranges, it was more appropriate for the snare to be louder and more pronounced. In this version, the lower register carries everything. It's more balanced IMO.

The way it wiggles around, stretches its limbs unnaturally, and how it always seems to have this waviness to it. I like that about all the standard Nobodies, really. It's simultaneously angular and jarringly smooth and also abrupt with its movements. Standard Nobodies are always in motion, seemingly unable to stand still.
