A moment of silence for all the diehard KH fans who succumbed and bought the games on EGS thinking that the Steam announcement was dead.

[@AquiVieneGioGio]

Glad I waited.

[@silversnake8054]

Still have faith in steam

[@luananaul9009]

Me :(

[@tehSunBro]

Yeah i allways found it incredibly stupid that they made the game exclusive to the pirate bay, glad they finally release it on Steam. We are PC gamers, we do not cave, we pirate.

[@magnainsomnia]

For those of you who did not read the description, There's a new Re-recording of Simple and Clean by Utada Hikaru. Lets freakin go!!!

[@josephtafur]

She did a Re-Recording of the Japanese version on their recent Greatest Hits album "Science Fiction" so I'm not surprised

[@ms.pirate]

*gasp* ayooo 👀

​@@josephtafur i didn't really pay attention to them, so its news to me 😅

[@haloharry97]

What so special about re-recording? what wrong with the original?

[@magnainsomnia]

@@haloharry97 There's nothing wrong with the original. The song is just beloved by the fans and to have something new is exciting. It also coincides with her new compilation album which had re-recordings of her past songs including Hikari (japanese version of the song)

They could port a new game to pc, like ffxvi... but nah, that would make too much sense.

I just lost all my save data on Epic from the lack of cloud saving since I needed a new laptop. My pain has granted everyone the Steam version, you are all welcome. We can now play this beautiful series offline, anywhere, and also with cloud saving. May our hearts be our guiding key.

[@aeidanburns7406]

That's really funny. The same problem happened to me, except it was my cat unplugging my pc and corrupting everything lmaoo

[@UnholyGaia22]

Literally same. Had to reformat my computer, forgot to backup my saves cuz I'm so used to Steam Cloud, lost my saves for every game. A few days later this announcement. Seems like fate

[@phantom-X2086]

Steam let's you keep your save data across PCs?

WE’RE GETTING A STEAM DECK EVERYBODY!!!

[@xeveemon]

I can’t afford a $500 system just to play one series on the go, and I don’t play PC since I can’t afford a gaming computer, so I can’t afford to, and thus I guess I’ll remain on Camp KH Switch 2 Natives, since I will get that system and know at least I will play tons and tons more games on that than I would with a steam deck.

[@greybeardragon]

My first thought. Replay on steam deck.

[@USMCbrantley]

Dang... I teared up again. This game just emotionally kicks me. I was a preteen when the first one dropped, and all those memories and good times, just yeah, nostalgia, it's one heck of a drug.

[@bigtatsu]

Finally it's on Steam.

[@instinctive3066]

Well it’s about time

[@SilverSentai]

So glad I didn't buy these on EGS. Took long enough

[@timurkral3781]

What is EGSGSGS?

[@willowingwhispers2612]

I love simple and clean, I've loved every version Utada has sung, but do you guys ever think she ever gets tired of doing this song over and over and over again? I don't think I've seen the same singer do so many different versions of song so many times.

[@squeedles_1943]

It’s like when a lesser known band gets a radio hit

[@Dan_Geer_]

Artists perform their song thousands of times in their life as they do concerts wherever they can, so no, I don’t thinks she’s tired of it.

[@wildanbaxtli6913]

Yeah, Simple and Clean is good and all, but sometimes I feel getting bored of it. It's iconic, sure, but so is Sanctuary. Face my Fear is debatable, but they should've prioritize it since it's obvious it's going to be overshadowed by KH4 theme song soon unlike the other which given time to grow with audiences

[@Snackies]

Utada's never been a one-hit wonder in Japan. They've been a household name in Japan since 1998 and their discography's pretty big, so I can honestly imagine Simple and Clean being a song they don't think about much until it's time to do an English interview or something. If there's a song she's tired of it's probably First Love

[@StarHakurei]

Yeah, I also thought of First Love. I know it was her first big hit and it's a good song, but sometimes I wonder if she isn't tired of it ;; Simple and Clean/Hikari may have many versions, but most were done by DJ's or people other than Utada, so this is probably the first time in literal years that she's had to touch it (re-record) outside of the rare live performance.

[@LeDragoX]

🎵Simple and Steam is the way that you're making me feel tonight 🎵

[@nintendorakyamato1859]

What if Nintendo Switch 2 could have the trilogy as native ports?

[@xeveemon]

^ 1000000000000000% This

[@simplered9661]

If they have physical release I would definitely buy this

[@Murasakitsuyukusa]

It's very weird that Switch 1 couldn't have them for some superficial reason. At least first two games + Birth by Sleep ports.

[@xeveemon]

@@Murasakitsuyukusa Again, Dream Drop Distance literally launched into this world as KH3D on the 3DS, and last time I checked, Switch is definitely much more powerful than a 3DS, so why can’t they make a 3DS game work on Switch? I mean even Capcom is doing it with Monster Hunter Stories, and that’s also a big RPG.

[@Fayt540]

they would probably still be cloud versions, plus i have a steam deck and not enough trust in ninty to buy their next system.

The final port of the trilogy is finally here. Even if I have it on Switch as Cloud versions, I’ll get the on Steam

[@xeveemon]

God, I hope this isn’t the final port. The Switch versions simply just do not work at all, and thus I hope the final port will be Switch 2 native ports. We Nintendo fans deserve to actually be able to play the games without it crashing every two seconds on us.

[@xeveemon]

(I mean it says something when Pokémon Scarlet and Violet can be actually played for longer than the KH Switch versions before experiencing problems. If Pokémon lasts longer, we have a problem here)

[@nintendorakyamato1859]

@@xeveemon I manage to finish both 1 and 2 on Switch. I didn’t had big problems. Making emergency saves

[@xeveemon]

@@nintendorakyamato1859 I think you just have good Internet connections then, which from everyone I saw online plus myself, you are definitely on the rare side then. I also live near mountains, outside of the tri cities around me, and while my Internet is great, it’s still Spectrum and thus isn’t always reliable and my house couldn’t even handle T-mobile’s home Internet, and if I’m having this issue out there with my Internet connections, there has to be tons of other players out there who would love to play KH on Switch and thus cannot. Plus, even still the point of the Switch is to play games anywhere in the world, the whole concept of Cloud versions 100% misses the entire point of the Switch itself.

[@tehSunBro]

theres probly gonna be another port of these games next year on switch 2 xbox series and ps5 because there has to be a port of these games like every year

@@CutchuSlowyou got 30 comments on this channel tho so you obviously have some interest

[@CutchuSlow]

@@TheTwizted I have 30 comments where? I didn't know you could see my comments elsewhere, but yeah I follow square enix because I like the old final fantasy, not the new ones. I tried KH on ps3 the first game of the remaster. Didn't like it. Then I tried the 3rd game on gamepass, also didn't like it. So just coz I have comments on the channel doesn't mean I like all their games. My last few comments were probably asking for a PC port for ff7rebirth or probably saying something like I won't get a PS5.

This trailer is chronological order. Personally I’d recommend experiencing these games release order if your new this Franchise. Glad kh franchise finally on steam I’ll grab it when’s its sale as I already own these game on ps4.

[@ElectricBarrier]

You should always do release order for anything, because that's the order they were written. If they were meant to be in chronological order they would have been to start with. Unless the writer is doing some experimental art thing where he intentionally writes a story in chronological order and then releases it out of order, I think that's happened a few times, but KH isn't quite that high concept and they were clearly just written in the order they came out.
