Kingdom Hearts 3 Is Shaping up to Be Flawed Disney Magic - GameRevolution

Kingdom Hearts 3 oozes Disney charm, but it lacks an identity of its own. Many of the flaws of previous games return as well.

I mean, those are very tiny issues. I don't know how the camera works, but I assume you have control over it with the right stick. So, if you're losing track of what's going on, that's on you, correct?

The complaint about the mech suit being somewhat boring is valid. However, that is just for one small section of the game.

Cutscene length and frequency being a negative is very much up to opinion. I personally am ecstatic to hear there are plenty of lengthy cutscenes! I want to get really invested in the final entry to this saga. A meaty story is exactly what I was hoping for.

I wanted XV to have mass amounts of cutsenes. It's a SE thing. You get rewarded with cutsenes after playing through Jrpgs. Sounds awesome to me especially for KH3

tombfan2137d ago

I think the same as Harkins, I also was expecting a whole lot of cutscenes from FFXV that's kind of the point on playing Jrpgs... to our disgust, neither cutscenes nor story was in THAT game.

But KH3 looks like it's going to be such a blass and a massive story game. Even if the story is all over the place.

The biggest concern is the story. I think most of the magic of Disney was thrown on the back burner years ago. The KH lore is so far gone down the rabbit hole, even Kojima couldn't make sense of it all. Not worried about most of the game though. Fingers crossed hard! I want it to be good!

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.

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.

OMNlPOTENT389d 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.
