I thought it said discontinued on Xbox One. And I wouldn't have been surprised.

I'm kinda surprised they haven't released any of the remasters or Prologue game on Xbox One, it mind boggling considering the game is STILL going to be on the platform

riverstars862425d ago

Agreed, really would like to hear their reasoning for not bringing the remasters to the Xbox One, yet release KH3. Hopefully you don't need to play the old games to understand the story in the newest game.

DarXyde2425d ago

If you've never played Kingdom Hearts, I highly recommend playing them or watching a very detailed YouTube synopsis.

The most important game in my opinion are Dream Drop, 1, 2, Birth by Sleep, and 2.8. A lot of it is pretty convoluted, but yeah, if you're new, you'll most certainly be lost without a primer.

TheOttomatic912425d ago (Edited 2425d ago )

@riverstar86 unfortunately KH is one of the most confusing stories in games (closest comparison I can think of is MGS) and unless you have played ALL the previous games the story in KH3 will make no sense.

ninsigma2425d ago

You most certainly do need to play the previous games to play 3. Not only the main titles but also the spin offs that were on handhelds. It's quite a complex story and it's important to follow it through so you know what's going on. You could always read about it or watch the cutscenes on YouTube though.

Like Shenmue 3 on PS4 when part 1 and 2 were never on any PS platform before? Or that logic only pertains to other platforms?

You assume PS4 won't be getting the original Shenmue games.

The probability of Xbox getting the original Kingdom Hearts games, at this point, is still possible. Unlikely, but possible.

Agree. I also don't even see the point in the game being released on X1 at all without the first 2. Who the hell jumps into a series from the 3rd part ?.

Universal 082424d ago

I wish they would, Id love to play the previous games since I cant afford to buy another system just for a few games.

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.

OMNlPOTENT399d 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.
