The game was remastered in high definition and released as part of ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX]]'' on March 14, 2013.

A smaller but still important change was the conversion of many of the game's scenes into fully voice-acted full motion videos, and the use of voice-acting within gameplay. While the dialogue for the game was recorded using the voice actors used in ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the voicing and sound effects within gameplay relied largely on existing clips. In some cases, such as the Sora's invocation of the [[Stop]] spell, these clips were only available using the ''Kingdom Hearts'' voice-actors. As the scenes were now fully rendered, rather than being acted out with sprites, the violence within the game was more apparent, and the game's rating was raised from E to E10+, for Fantasy Violence. | A smaller but still important change was the conversion of many of the game's scenes into fully voice-acted full motion videos, and the use of voice-acting within gameplay.
