Kingdom Hearts 3 Pre-Orders Now Available at Best Buy

It may be a little premature to say that Kingdom Hearts 3 has a release date, but Best Buy isn't one to care about the fine details. The retailer has since put up a pre-order page for Kingdom Hearts 3, dating it (incorrectly, I might add) as a 2013 release, no doubt put there as a placeholder.

"dating it (incorrectly, I might add) as a 2013 release"

They meant 2031.

I hope Square doesn't strip down KH3 into DLC bits like for instance an exclusive keyblade weapon and a skin for Sora on the PS4 whereas the Xbox One might have like an exclusive world (Wreck-It Ralph for example) or a boss monster.

Why would you need to pre-order this?
Such a strange trend in videogames these past few years.

Xof3932d ago

Retailers like Gamestop order small numbers of games to encourage gamers to pre-order, and they do that because it garuntees a repeat visit to the store. So, for many games, consumers feel the need to pre-order if they want to play the game when it comes out.

The local gamestop for me, for example, had so few copies of games like Uncharted or Last of Us that they sold out entirely by 5pm.

HarryMasonHerpderp3932d ago

I see. I tend to shop online so I never have this problem. There's always another site you can buy a game from. I understand preorders of special editions and such but for a regular edition of a game it's very unlikely to sell out. It's seems as though publishers want your money up front before the game is even released.

I always pre-order sometimes the incentives to pre-order are good and if I don't want the game I can cancel and get my money back at any time. I really don't see why not if you know you're absolutely getting the game.

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.

OMNlPOTENT356d 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.
