Wow, he certainly put on some weight. Not saying it's a bad thing per se, but that just surprised me. He used to be so freaking skinny like a twig lol.

LAWSON723758d ago

I had no idea he was actually so young in KH1. I mostly remember him from Secondhand Lions, and I was pretty young when I saw it and I thought it was old. It came out in 2003 so he was actually about the same age as Sora. Should be interesting to have a new Sora continue to have a natural change in voice has he ages and progresses in the trilogy.

He'll sound like he did in Kingdom Hearts 3D. I've been playing the 1.5 HD ReMIX and you can really tell the difference in voice maturity. Sounds really natural for Sora's age progression.

LAWSON723758d ago

Sadly I dont have a 3DS yet to play KH3D but good to hear.

jjonez183758d ago

He voiced Sora? Well, thats my videogame trivia for the day.

Capt-FuzzyPants3758d ago

Hayden Panetierre voiced Kairi too. Also, Booth from the TV show Bones voiced Squall. KH1 actually had a ton of famous voice actors. A lot of the Disney characters were voiced by the voice actors from their movies.

LAWSON723758d ago (Edited 3758d ago )

Disney goes all out with KH voice actors. The list is quite impressive with famous actors and original voice actors (actually has lady who voiced ALice and Wendy which are films from the 1950s) and the ones that are not original are pretty well known actors or experienced voice actors.
Fun note:
Leonard Nemoy is Master Xehanort in BBS

Lance Bass voiced Sephiroth in KH I & II. No joke.

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.

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.
