Kingdom Hearts 3 Not Possible Without Spin-Off Games

Without the many Kingdom Hearts games we've seen as of late, there'd be no Kingdom Hearts 3.

"because of some reasons"

I bet those reasons were somehow related to SE's habit during the current generation to do quite the opposite of what people were actually asking for.

Translation: Without the repeated success of tangent iterations, a new core release wouldn't be possible.

What a shocking development! My god, I bet we wouldn't have Final Fantasy XV without the other 26 games, too!

Mr_Nuts3933d ago

Bullcrap...if they wanted to do spin off's fine but they should of been non cannon to the main games.

Now people are going to have to play Birth By Sleep and especialy Dream Drop Distance (on differnt platforms) to understand KH3 story

ShugaCane3932d ago

Every KH fan should try BBS, though. One of the best games of the franchise.

Kalebninja3932d ago

the only game you dnt need to play is recoded that game was of no signifigance

trenso13932d ago

to be honest BBS needed to be there other wise we would all be like who the hell is terra and why was combined with Xehanort, or who is the guy sleeping and why does he look exactly like roxas, and why is Aqua even important things like that. I feel that the story was important but the platform of choice should have been the ps3 not the psp, and honestly i bought a 3ds just for DDD in fact i owned the collectors edition to that game before i even owned a 3ds

otakukidd3932d ago

That's the reason for the HD collections. I expect at Tokyo game show we get a HD collection of 2, birth by sleep and videos of dream drop. It would then reduce the amount of consoles to understand the series to 2.

U can barely even call Birth by sleep and KH3D spin offs cause they hold a huge amount of story relevance. BBS pretty much shaped the KH universe. KH3D is the set up to KH3 and u will be mind f*cked if u didnt play it or at least watched the cutscenes.

RE:coded is what I would call a spin off barely any story relevance if any.

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.

OMNlPOTENT359d 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.
