NOTE: This article has plenty of spoilers from the Kingdom Hearts series and possibly Final Fantasy VII. If you have not played every game in the series – especially Dream Drop Distance – you should not read this!
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.
With Disney? Cold day chance in hell.
The games are already kind of dark, except for the Disney worlds (Halloween Town in KH1 had a pretty good darker atmosphere). I guess eventhough the story is kind of dark the overall atmosphere most of the time is not really dark.
Locations like Traverse Town, Hollow Bastion (castle in KH1 in some areas), and all those end worlds gave off a pretty dark vibe. Traverse Town felt like a lost town taken over by the heartless, and was sort of a refuge for those without a world making it seem even darker, like seriously that was the best place for them to go sounds like a great universe to live in.
I really think that with KHIII Square Enix should start introducing Disney Pixar Universes. I think the graphics for Pixar Universes would be more suited to PS4 and Xbox One because they could really try and push some boundaries. Of course we wouldn't want to be without Mickey, Donald, Goofy etc but it would be nice if things were mixed up a bit. Plus I really want Russell from Up in my party xD
Avoided reading the article to avoid any spoilers, thanks for the heads up, so I'm commenting off the games I know about.
I always thought the KH games had some darkness to them, but not the obvious 'someone I care about just died' type of darkness. More along a subtle ' Your life is so messed up' type of darkness. You analyze the characters situations and you just think "I feel sorry for you".
BBS was pretty dark I felt sorry for all 3 characters they all got screwed. No happy ending other than the hope Sora will save them. If KH3 has something similar happen where a few characters get screwed ill be ok.
