You shouldn’t use Roman Numerals for the number 2…for a second there it looked like ELEVEN.
Anyway, just letting everyone know that this is 1 game made up of a few KH’s games…and the whole game is called Kingdom Hearts 2.8
Especially if you’re going to follow a Roman numeral with a standard numeral. It’s all a bit odd this 0.2, 2.8 business. Almost like a comment on the state of gaming today.
It’s actually called II.8

And from that very page, it says
… so its saying that’s the way Square Enix is writing it (as you can also see in the logo).
We all recognise that – but it still means 2.8. Unless there were a string of sequels leading up to Kingdom Hearts 10 that nobody noticed.
The “II.8” thing seems to be Square Enix’s fault rather than the article’s author. It seems to continue the KH series’ tradition of user hostile naming conventions.
The other missing piece of info in the article is that the port is being released on the PS4, based on the final part of the trailer.

Ladies and gentlemen, we present to you, Kingdom Hearts 2.1234567 Remix HD XL Ultra Hyper Mega Edition HD 2.89!!!
i’d actually be more keen for a remaster of kindom hearts 1.5 and 2.5 bundle port on ps4, I would’ve loved to have played those remasters but the deal breaker was being on ps3 so i skipped em, I have dream drop distance on 3ds and not really that interested in this one 🙁
Any idea if this will be released on PS3 as well, or just the PS4?
Just PS4
Considering 0.2 looks like it will cover what happened to Aqua after the events of birth by sleep, I’m pretty excited to see that. Aqua’s a great character.
