The Kingdom Hearts 3 2014 Release Date Rumor

The web is floating with rumors that a possible release date for Kingdom Hearts 3 will be “spring” 2014 and that an “insider” confirmed the news straight from Square Enix. Not only does this sound absurd; but there is absolutely no way Kingdom Hearts 3 will be released in 2014 due to the fact that it is in extremely early stages of development and the fact that Nomura himself said he was taking the time to promote the new Final Fantasy XV, a game he wanted to create for the longest time. Fans still believe that it will be out in 2014, despite the facts in front of them. Square Enix Origin is about to put the “2014 spring release date” rumor to a rest.

Way too soon, we should be getting Kingdom Hearts 2.5 Remix by then and only that game. I want Kingdom Hearst III to be bigger and better than any KH game before it, and it should take a while to make

Snookies123928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

Yeah, it's already been said that it's really early in development. There's no way it would be out in 2014.

Need4Game3928d ago

"Kingdom Hearts Coliseum", would be more likely.

Maybe that "Kingdom Hearts" will be like Tekken Revolution Style F2P Game. The Reasons:

1. Kingdom Hearts F2P Fighting Game can be Done fairly quickly, in a year or less.

2. New Gameplay & Graphics have to be Tested, Proven and provide adequate funding for the full Game.

3. SquareEnix will do anything possible to get to recover its ailing finances

levian3928d ago

Need4Game where are you getting this? Is this all your opinion or do you have some insider source? You're saying this on every post about FFXV or KH3

gaffyh3927d ago

Yup, NEVER going to happen in 2014. FFXIV is at best late 2014, KH3 will only come after that.

FlameHawk3927d ago

@Need4Game, please stop pulling crap out your ass. I have read your other comments about FF 15 and KH3 and you said they will be MMORPG, LOL....

minimur123927d ago

I remember reading a post-translated hard to understand interview with the guy who announced KH3, (the guy on the big screen) and he admitted that they shouldnt have even announced KH3 was in development, it was so early. The average AAA game, probably about3 years?
say they started just under a year ago, enough to polish up Sora, concept art and sound effects for the trailer, So yeah, notany time soon

2015/16 - possibly?

The game is like 5-10% done. No way its hitting in 2014 or it will be a mess. Late 2015 for Japan, early 2016 for EU/ NA.

What's up with the fake KH3 box?

It says KH3 and then under it, almost like a subtitle, it says "The Keyblade Wars"?

Wtf? No... It's just KH3 why is that on there?

RockmanII73927d ago

Kingdom Hearts 3: The Keyblade Wars has been a thing for a very long time. The picture itself has been around since at least 2011.

Not a chance. KH3's gameplay was, according to Nomura the most "functional" build they had, they are still deciding worlds to go into the game.

If it was to be due out next year, gameplay would need to be mostly finalized already.

ShugaCane3928d ago (Edited 3928d ago )

No. The game will probably be out after FF XV, for which we don't have any release date yet. And we probably won't have one anytime soon. So we'll have to wait a lot longer to see KH III come out.

Zodiac3928d ago

2014 is when we will be reminded the game still exists.

2015 we will see a teaser trailer of Sora tying his right shoe.

2016 will be the year we hear nothing

2017. It will be pushed back from the release date that was never announced.

2018. Sora ties his left shoe trailer

2019. Demo releases

2020. Game is released and it's 9 hours long.

Omar913927d ago

"2018-Sora ties his left shoe trailer"

why is this so funny to me lmao!

M-M3928d ago

Lol yeah right. I'm thinking late 2015, early 2016 release knowing Square Enix.

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

gold_drake348d ago

he was already my favourite disney character and one of my favs from KH and then to see that amazing spell too. aah so good xD

FGHFGHFGH348d ago

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.
