Three Ways Square-Enix Can Screw Us Over With Kingdom Hearts III

With rumors of Final Fantasy Versus XIII being no more, Tetsuya Nomura may have his hands free to start working on the long awaited Kingdom Hearts III. Here’s what we don’t want them to do.

I just hope they actually make the game within the next decade.

Don't let it become the next victim of SE Japan. :/

iXenon4294d ago

They skipped a whole generation of consoles, I hope it makes it on the next gen.

Square Enix suck so bad this gen that its so hard to exaggerate how bad they suck

kinda agree, i hate how they depend their RPGs on FF only :L last gen on the ps2, they released other games than FF but sadly none of them got the sequel they deserve.

edgeofsins4284d ago

Deus Ex was amazing in my opinion. I was surprised to see they worked on it. I didn't know that until I saw the intro.

Capt-FuzzyPants4294d ago

I really doubt any of those are going to happen. There's no way it was all just a dream, it's the ending to a series with dedicated fans, so it won't be canceled, and it could be on Xbox but it's doubtful.

iXenon4294d ago (Edited 4294d ago )

I don't see why it couldn't be on Xbox. 3rd party exclusives aren't as common as they used to be. The article was meant to be humorous anyway.

Capt-FuzzyPants4294d ago

I mean Nomura has said in the past that he prefers the PS3. And if there was any truth to that rumor about the collection it would be on everything but the Xbox. It could definitely be on the Xbox, but I don't think it will. I also don't see any purpose for Kinect.

Patriots_Pride4294d ago (Edited 4294d ago )

You do realize that Wata has the final say on games right.

Plus why would you cut your profits in half just becuse your a fanboy of a certain console? Investors want money not thank you's from gamers.

Same goes for MGS5 As much as Kojima loves the PS3 he was forced to walk on the 360 stage to announce raising becuase MS pad top dollars - unless Sony can offer Konami some $$$$$$$$$ then expect MGS5 on the Wii U, PC and 720 as well - also do not be surprised if MS throws some money at Konami just to have some DLC exclusive rights.

XabiDaChosenOne4293d ago

First of all, assuming that the 360 would account for half of the sales is just moronic.
1. Jrpgs sell the most in their home country, Japan, where the 360 doesn't sell at all.
2. Jrpgs sell way better on the PS3 than they do on the 360, fact. Just look at the ff13 series sales, I'm pretty sure (Correct me if I'm wrong) that ff13-2 only sold 500,000 copies on the 360? Yikes!
Unless Microsoft is willing to pay money to account for the sales that would be needed to match the PS3 version it would be a waste of time and resources to make it multi. The only reason MS threw some money at square for FF13 in the first place was to make themselves relevant in the Japanese market. Now that they have failed to do so and don't need to since the 360 is pretty successful anyways, I doubt MS will do it with any other big name Japanese game. The only DLC that Microsoft is worried about is the DLC that comes with the COD series.

Omnislash4294d ago

If its on Xbox and its still this gen I can pretty much guarantee that its going to suck. Look at what happened with FF13, I blame everything thats happened to Final Fantasy on Wada... that dude needs to get fired. Also with the whole WRPG and JRPG Bullsh*t, these Japanese developers need to learn to go back to their roots.

NeXXXuS4293d ago

They wouldn't put Kingdom Hearts III on PS3. Tetsuya Nomura is the main guy that was working on the Kingdom Hearts series and now Final Fantasy Versus XIII. I doubt he would try and go with a 360 port.

TheFinalEpisode4294d ago (Edited 4294d ago )

The video alone is worth reading the article xD

kagon014294d ago

Planned, DLC just like they did with FF XIII-2...

Smokeeye1234294d ago

Maybe FFV13 was cancelled years ago and KH3 is ready to launch in 2013...a man can dream.

Capt-FuzzyPants4294d ago

That would make things a little better.

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 Canonical Magic User Is... Donald Duck?

Final Fantasy features many strong characters, but an unlikely character from Kingdom Hearts is able to cast ​the most powerful spell ever seen

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.

OMNlPOTENT360d 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.
