Kingdom Hearts Final Mix: Difference between revisions

'''''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix''''' is a Japan reissue of ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}'' that uses English voice acting with Japanese subtitles among additional in-game features. The PlayStation 2 version of it is exclusive to Japan.

The game was remastered in HD and released as part of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' for PlayStation 3 on March 14, 2013. As opposed to the original ''Final Mix'', the remake features Japanese voice acting in the Japanese release. As part of the collection, it was made available outside of Japan for the first time. It was later released on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One as part of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX]]''.

==Limited releases==

Depending on what store the game was pre-ordered, customers could get a CD containing tracks from the game or a playing card set adorned with ''Kingdom Hearts'' characters and symbols. Also, at some stores in Japan, they were giving away a dual Keyblade embroidered necklace with a reserved copy.
