You Can Now Play Through the Entire Kingdom Hearts Series on Xbox One

The Kingdom Hearts series made its debut on Xbox in 2019 with Kingdom Hearts III, but newcomers to the series can now go back and experience every title in the series. The HD releases of every previous game have, as predicted, made their way to Xbox One now as two separate purchases.

If you live in a region where it is currently February 18, 2020 or later, then you'll be able to buy the games right now.

Not the entire series mind you.

Kingdom Hearts: Dark Road is a bad sign that Square Enix is still intent on releasing games on multiple platforms so you can’t experience the entire series on one platform(in this case PS4 & XO which would also mean PS5 & XSX because of BC).

Idk how essential DR will be to the plot, but no way in hell should an essential tale about Xehanort’s turn to villainy be something locked to mobile devices.

Does it really matter at this point? If they can't get past the Xehanort saga, which apparently was supposed to end at KH3, and they've released the games all over the place for decades before the full collections came out, and it still didn't help make a compelling end to the saga, what will not playing the new game really take away from the player?

Ironically it does. Kingdom heart's 3 ks the most confusing game in history. Too many unnecessary spin offs and some of them are tied to the mobile games. The DLC for kingdom hearts 3 made things even more confusing

rainslacker1556d ago

I don't see how an origin story will help clear up the saga's conclusion. I was speaking more about if people would really be turned out because they missed the origin. I thought it was already touched on in that one spin off where you could choose which class to play(forget the name).

Surely a PC release is inevitable? Fingers crossed.

akaFullMetal1556d ago

Ugh, waited over 10 years for kh3 and the story is still not finished... The game series has been all over the place and different systems and the story has just lost me at this point.
I Probably will not pick up from here unfortunately, I feel squarsoft have poorly kept me in the loop with the story. If you are still holding onto this series and understand what's going on with the characters , then more power too you! Have fun!

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 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.

OMNlPOTENT390d 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.
