Before Kingdom Hearts 3 was announced at E3 2013, Square Enix Origin wrote an article titled Kingdom Hearts 3 keys to greatness where discussions began on what world’s should be included in Kingdom Hearts 3. In this edition Square Enix Origin will look at what Final Fantasy characters should be included in the next game. The original games included characters such as Cloud, Yuffie, Tifa, the almighty Sephiroth and much much more. So how can Kingdom Hearts 3 improve on that? The answer is simple, more popular characters. Enjoy the list and let us know what you think of the characters and a possible role for them in Kingdom Hearts 3.
Final Fantasy VII Rebirth publisher Square Enix has declared a $140m loss based on a shakeup of its internal development pipeline.
What are they doing over there? Sounds like they canceled something big. I read a rumor a while back about ff9 remake . Here "Final Fantasy IX has gone through a very challenging development, the game is still in progress but may undergo changes drastic enough that we won't hear about it for a couple of years."
This could be one of the reasons if the rumor is true. That was Silknight i don't know how credible he is but it's something and it would make sense.
The industry implosion is continuing. Sky high budgets, prolonged development windows, stagnant sales numbers, and falling currency values (inflation) are wreaking havoc on the legacy industry. AAA games will slowly become the rarity.
Saad from eXputer: "After suffering from massive financial hits, Square Enix & Bandai Namco appear to be turning over a new leaf but I'm still unconvinced."
I was talking about games with some Japanese guys here in Japan, and it seems like around here Bandai Namco has a fame of making low-quality games, with the occasional gem.
About Square Enix, I believe they lack the capacity to improve. They should learn with Capcom (although even Capcom still makes some bad mistakes), but I don't think they ever will. They keep chasing whatever is new at the time (blockchain, AI...) to say "we innovate", without considering the public perception and if these things actually improve the games or not. Them releasing too many small games with no advertising also shows a lack of trust in its own products. Even with their biggest games, like turning FF into an action game with XVI and the very divisive plot changes regarding whispers and timelines in VII Remake, shows them trying to attract a new generation of gamers without understanding what made the series so big in the first place.
I don’t know why NOW they decide on this, but I guess later is better than never.
Saad from eXputer: "I'm glad I don't have to choose between Square Enix, Atlus, and FromSoftware due to bad release windows and Shadow of the Erdtree."
What a word vomit, rambling, turd of an article that simply states the obvious. Classic exputer.
I wouldn't mind if I saw Ashe and Balthier. It would also be cool to see Noctis!
Cloud and Sephiroth, they were in I and II and most notably, II left their plot arc open and it was never touched on again.
Spider-Man
KH1 cloud was like a fusion of Vincent and cloud. Squall will probably show up. cloud and septhiroth for sure will appear.
Zidane might show up. So far ppl from FFVI and up have appeared in Kingdom Hearts.
If I was gonna place bets Id say Lighting, maybe Noctis,and someone from XII. they may have some small story relevance or just coliseum fights.
