You are speaking about an altogether different game. Can you actually honestly say the additions to KH or X-2 alter the experience in any significant way?

This just in: The "Japanese-only" release of X-2 was titled International + Last Mission. Okay, so I lumped KH in under the same word. An honest mistake. And just because it was never "released" outside of Japan, doesn't mean people weren't able to waste their money buying untranslated copies, you pathetic simpleton. -Yes. They improve the experience, an improving=positive alterations. While X/X-2's cases with the International Version are not the case, with KH it is. New things to do gives you more stuff to do. New cutscenes and ending means a change in how one saw the story (and KH's an RPG, the story is important). New bosses add new challenges improving the experience. And of course, they allow LV1-only Runs, which by themselves upgrade the experience.

The same with Halo. The skulls add new challenges improving the experience and adding things to do. The better AI also upgrades the experience and makes playing the game, even if actually the same story and levels, feel different. They may be different games, but the fact is both of their remakes offer the same level of improvements all-around to the gaming experience the originals offered.

-Actually, they didn't waste their money. The only way to get it, even online, is living in Japan or going to visit it which is somewhat expensive. So nearly everyone just resorts to the simple Pyracy. Pyracy to get the game, and at least for me, get it translated 98%. Most western KH players don't bother neither finding a way to buy the game, nor pirate methods, so they conform with the normal version.
