We're still going through "everything needs MP" era I see.

If people want MP just go play FF14:RR and pretend your weapon is a keyblade.

Three signs that a good series is going downhill:

1. Goes to Xbox/Tries to please the west/Tries to get COD fanbase
2. Adds multiplayer to a mainly singleplayer focused game
3. Milk

Just so they can do the Online Pass bull crap on the PS4.

you guys do know Birth by sleep had multiplayer right? You could fight together in the arena and against each other with what ever commands you wanted to. Its certainly not needed but if it functions how it did like BBS just more refined it will be just fine. But the game certainly doesnt need any multiplayer.

After seeing FFXV and KHIII announced, I felt nothing but happiness for Square Enix, that they were finally listening to their fans and are going to fix the major problems FFXIII and XIV did. But then I woke this morning... And found out they are also going to be on X1. OH HECK NAW!!!

I'm not gonna bring up the fact that FFXIII had content cut out because of the Xbox 360's storage limitations, since all three next gen consoles are using Bluray now (Nintendo using their own form of Bluray so they don't have to pay royalties). However, Toriyama was a giant Western fan. He even said he wanted Final Fantasy to be more like FPSs or something like that. He wanted to put western focus on FFXIII.

I'm not saying catering to western fans and the Xbox fans made Final Fantasy horrible, or that Sony wouldn't have also wanted KHIII to have an online component. It's just well known that many devs try to cater to the FPS and western crowd too much. And if this affects Kingdom Hearts, I'll be damn disappointed.

Will you all still feel this way if the single player game turns out to be the best in the series and have the best story ?

Then how much would multiplayer matter ? Wouldn't it just then be an added bonus ?

Its kind of sad if they make it without multiplayer (which I hope they do) people with Xbox One will unfortunately still need an internet connection in order to play.

Final Fantasy XVI Has Finally Given Donald Duck A Worthy Opponent

For a long time, it's been widely accepted amongst Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts fans that Donald Duck is the most powerful mage ever to exist, mainly due to his use of the stupidly powerful Zettaflare spell towards the end of Kingdom Hearts 3. This spell is one step up from Teraflare, a spell which was used in Final Fantasy XIV that was so powerful that it completely wiped out the base game, giving the developers a canonical reason to let them bin everything and start again from scratch.

Now you're armed with this information, you can see how it was pretty surprising for Donald Duck of all characters to bust out Zettaflare and establish himself as the most powerful character in Final Fantasy/Kingdom Hearts lore. However, now that Final Fantasy XVI has arrived and delivered a whole new cast of characters, a new challenger has arrived to provide Donald with some much needed competition.

Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.

This Kingdom Hearts Boss' Unpredictability Gave Me Sekiro Vibes

Kingdom Hearts is filled with otherworldly boss battles, but only one stands out like a phoenix dancing with ethereal grace across the night sky. Before we embark upon a discussion concerning Kingdom Hearts' exceptional boss battles, it may be prudent to first reflect on the evolution of the criteria for appraising video game bosses. This criterion has undergone a major metamorphosis over the past decade; one that owes much to the profound influence of From Software and its iconic Souls series.

"Yozora is much more than a grueling secret encounter; he is a reflection of what Kingdom Hearts' bosses should be"

No thank you. If every boss in Kingdom Hearts was like Yozora, the series would be unplayable. That's not to say that they shouldn't include such challenges, but making them fundamental to the game would be too much. And don't say that this is what the From Software games are, because Yozora is absolutely harder than most of the bosses in those games. He is waaay faster, has a ludicrous number of abilities (and does them in random order AND can chain most of them together), and punishes you severely if you make a mistake. On top of that, you have to survive this onslaught for a really long time because of how much health he has. It's borderline too much - for me at least. Still, it's a stunning battle.

OMNlPOTENT376d ago

I agree, while I do really enjoy the Yozora fight, I think it's far too difficult to be anything more than an optional boss. However, I do believe that there should be more bosses that are in the same weight and size class as Sora, as the majority of those in KH3 were the best fights. The giant heartless bosses just aren't as enjoyable.
