According to gamenohanashi, the cutscene theater of KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days in KINGDOM HEARTS HD 1.5 ReMIX will run for 2 hours and 50 minutes! The music tracks for 358/2 Days have also been rearranged and replaced with live instruments, all supervised by series composer Yoko Shimomura. This will definitely be a treat for fans to listen to as they watch the updated cutscenes when the game releases March 14th 2013 in Japan. All of this information is featured in this week's issue of Famitsu.

Update: Thanks to hokanko-alt and translations by the amazing Zephy, we now have more information on KINGDOM HEARTS 358/2 Days HD Theater including staff comments!

358/2 Days cutscene director

The main story has been made into footage, in which there are about 100 cutscenes. Now that we've added voice recordings, we're able to express a range of emotions that were difficult to convey only in text. It makes me want to sit down and just watch it because it's about 2 hours and 50 minutes long in total. I didn't think I would be involved with the series for so long. I want to make a Kingdom Hearts game that is loved by fans for the future and even in the next 10 years.

Sound Design

The real time portion of Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories corresponds to 5.1ch surround sound and Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days added voice recordings. A variety of songs are replaced with live instruments and rearranged under Yoko Shimomura's supervision. I want you to expect that the music has been renewed.
