Square Enix announced Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix at last week’s Tokyo Game Show. But will it arrive in North America and Europe?

“The recent KINGDOM HEARTS -HD 1.5 ReMIX- announcement was only for the Japanese market,” a Square Enix rep told Gematsu.

If anything changes, we were told we’ll be informed.

Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD Remix, which includes Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Re: Chain of Memories updated in high-definition, as well as high-def cutscenes from Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days, is due for PlayStation 3 next year in Japan. If you missed the trailer, catch it here.

It's just PR talk. It'll be released WW like every KH game. And with how spread out the series is there's no reason why they wouldn't release it WW anyway before prepping for KH3.

it could mean there are troubles with worldwide licenses for IP like Tarzan

I think the rumor goes that they're able to use Tarzan for properties they've already made like KH1, but not any new ones. Plus I'd assume they'd have licensing issues in Japan too if that were the case.

neh.. most of the time you secure a license per region.. licenses are pretty expensive stuff so no one ever really gets a license covering the entire world.. did the KH 1 re-release Final Mix ever got a release outside japan?

Just import, the original Final Mix had the English dub on the disc.

Well, Tarzan is not a Japanese IP originally. So wouldn't it make sense that they'd have trouble licensing it in Japan too? Or am I off?

KH1: FM never release outside of Japan, no. Neither did KH2: FM+ or BBS: FM

well licensing works likes this: if an IP is popular you pay more to do stuff with it for a period of time and place .. in the case of Tarzan I could see that it was licensed at a cheaper price and longer time in Japan then in the US and Europe cause Tarzan is lesser known in Japan and the rights holder didn't have any plans for Tarzan in Japan..
