Changes to all three games include support for various video outputs (480p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p) and audio output supported in Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and DTS Digital Surround 5.1. There is now PlayStation 3 [[trophy]] support and an unlockable PlayStation 3 theme for each title. Character models were updated or replaced, including those of [[Sora]] and [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]], which were replaced with their models from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''. Textures were also updated.

''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'' had its graphics and several character models remastered in high definition. For example, [[Sora]], [[Riku]], and [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness|Ansem]]'s models have been replaced with those from ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''.  

 

The soundtrack has been completely re-orchestrated by Yoko Shimomura's original score team and performed by gaQdan.<ref>https://www.khinsider.com/news/KINGDOM-HEARTS-HD-1-5-ReMIX-Sound-Team-Interview-3249</ref>

 

cutscenes were made skippable, and cutscenes that previously only had English voice acting now have Japanese voice acting as well.

 

The combat system and HUD were revised for ease-of-use with influence from ''Kingdom Hearts II'', with the [[Summons]] menu moved to the fourth [[Command Menu]] slot, the commands that previously occupied that slot moved to {{button|t}}, and the right analog stick given control of the camera instead of the shoulder buttons. However, {{button|t}} still serves to call Donald and Goofy to Sora whenever a [[Reaction Command]] does not prevent the input. The [[EXP Zero]] and [[Combo Master]] abilities are now available.

 

The ''{{wiki|finalfantasy|Final Fantasy X-2}}'' trailer that occupied the third slot on the game's opening menu is replaced with a Back command to return to the ''Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX'' game select menu.

''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' was remastered in high definition. As the game can no longer connect with ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', unlocking the ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'' wallpaper for the PS3 menu by completing all the cinematic scenes and viewing all the Secret Reports, [[Roxas's Diary]], and Character File entries for ''358/2 Days'' is now the new requirement to unlock the previous connectivity bonuses. In addition, the [[Monochrome]], [[Follow the Wind]], [[Hidden Dragon]], and [[Photon Debugger]] [[attack card]]s were replaced with [[Maverick Flare]], [[Midnight Roar]], [[Total Eclipse]], and [[Two Become One]] from ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days''. Also, the Enemy Card received from [[Riku Replica]] originally known as the Riku card, has been renamed as the Riku Replica card for the HD version. In addition, the musical track "[[Lord of the Castle]]", the theme for Marluxia's boss fight, was remastered.
