This weekend, Disney held this year’s D23 Expo, where a special “Kingdom Hearts Limited Stage” event was held earlier today in the Maihama Ampitheater at the Tokyo Disney Resort. During the event, Square Enix shared a few tidbits of information on Kingdom Hearts III. FF-Reunion shares their report of the event.
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 features many strong characters, but an unlikely character from Kingdom Hearts is able to cast the most powerful spell ever seen
that was pretty amazing, not gonna lie, i might have shed a tear or too, just cause of pure awesomeness.
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
Final Fantasy's strongest magic user is Donald Duck, who never appears in a final fantasy game.
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.
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.
If Riku will be playable it'll be cool if so.
Still a little miffed about what apparently happens in KH3 with Rikku, I havent played it but my friend was telling me since I never had a 3DS at the time
<spoilers>
Despite loosing his heart to the darkness, trying to kill Sora and his friends, destroy all worlds and becoming an obstacle to Sora over and over again...HE became a Keyblade Master while Sora failed the test.
I mean WTF...I know Sora wasn't supposed to wield the Keyblade but it shows you how much more Sora deserved to become a Master. He saved all worlds TWICE, stopped all the villains, protected people/worlds, managed to break free of becoming a heartless, had the purest heart AND he wasn't even meant to have the Keyblade, hell thats impressive. Overall after one mistake which Rikku had to help him out with, Sora then fails and Rikku passes. Come on, I think Sora has proven himself enough. Rikku is the one who should of had to prove himself, hell that could of made a spin off for the PSV.
So yeah story wise after everything Sora has done it's a bit of a p*** take. I hope we don't see Rikku thinking he's all "high and mighty" above Sora because of this. I've kicked his ass many times with Sora and I could do it again.
Raikou > Riku
I hope Riku isn't a playable character, didn't really care for DDD because of him.
I don't care too much for Riku. Sora is the much better character and the more Sora the better
