-Getting Ready For Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, Part 3-

Huge thanks to Thamauturge for providing me all the needed sound files!

And to my dear sexy friend Keytotruth for creating the code to disable the enemies' Japanese grunts! https://www.youtube.com/user/Keytotruth

This is one of the most painful projects I've ever made, something that I wanted to do for a very looong time but without being sure that it was even possible to accomplish. I just randomly asked my friend Keytotruth if it was possible to disable the Organization members' voices when fighting, without really expecting a positive response, and he actually created the code out of the blue in a jiff...


So this is one of my greatest hopes for KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX, being able to fight the Chain of Memories Organization Members with their own english dub, quotes and grunts. In case you don't know, in KINGDOM HEARTS II FINAL MIX those Organization members sticked with their Japanese voices, the same sound files they used for the Japanese version of Re:Chain of Memories. If you played the English version of Re:Chain of Memories and heard their voices in battle, hearing them with the Japanese voices in KINGDOM HEARTS II FINAL MIX will sound weird.
Of course, since this game has English dub and Japanese text, they couldn't let these Organization members say proper battle quotes during a fight, since there were no English dubbers at the time, so what they did was just voicing them with random UH, AWW, OUCH, AAHHH, HAHAHAHA used for the Japanese version of Re:Chain of Memories.

The purpose of this video is showing you how it would seem a proper English version of KINGDOM HEARTS HD 2.5 ReMIX, with the Chain of Memories Organization Members being voiced in English, with the same quotes and sound files used in the English version of Re:Chain of Memories.

Note that some of their Japanese grunts used in KH2 FINAL MIX don't even come from Re:CoM. When developing the game, they actually used the Re:CoM Japanese voice actors in order to record separated grunts for KH2 FINAL MIX exclusively.
So this project is not just a copy and paste of the sound files, but it's more like syncing them all together, choosing which sound file fits better than another in a certain moment of the battle, adjusting the sound level for EACH SOUND depending by the distance of the enemy from Sora, and so on.


00:01 - Larxene
I tried to keep her annoying as she is in Re:CoM, with her random laughs and her damned LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! LIGHTNING! Her battle is one of the most annoying in KH2 FINAL MIX, since what you do is just hear her laughing and yelling with her Japanese voice, all the freaking time, for every single move she does. Hearing her say proper English quotes makes the battle more enjoyable and definitely reminds you of Re:CoM.

03:51 - Zexion
When using the Despell Reaction Command on him, Zexion used to make a funny scream, which unfortuantely was recorded only for KH2 FINAL MIX only. So there is not an equivalent English Re:CoM version for that scream, but I managed to find a very nice replacement anyway.

09:05 - Lexaeus
His rage and screams were easily imitable. He also has a lot of nice quotes, and I did my best to insert them all at the right moments.

13:26 - Vexen
Definitely the most funny to voice. More like how he does in Re:CoM, I let him talk/laugh when Sora does a finisher and still can't break his shield, and a grunt of surprise when Sora actually breaks it (just like when Riku breaks his defence in Re:CoM as well). I found perfect how there is a sound file of him saying "I have analyzed all of your data", and let him say that right when creating Sora's Anti-Form the first time.

17:07 - Marluxia
The hardest to voice, due to his quick movements and long combos. He also has so many good quotes, and finding the right moment to use them was not easy at all, especially since his attacks style in the final battle in Re:CoM is very different from this one in KH2 FINAL MIX.
(I accidentally disabled Genie's and Peter Pan's Summons sound files too, so I had to voice both of them myself)

-—

- Level 45, Critical Mode. Didn't want to fight the Data on level 99 or the battles would be way too short. I just increased Sora's defense and kept his attack low, so I could be free to let them hit me and perform all of their attacks. That's the purpose of the video. I deliberately played in order to let them attack Sora and let them say the actual quotes. The savefile I was playing on didn't have all of Sora's Drive Forms unlocked, so I simply used a code to have them all available (that included Anti Form as well, but you can't obviously unlock it)

- Played on PCSX2 Emulator, recorded with Fraps, using Xeeynamo's KH2 FINAL MIX English Patch
