It depends on how it's translated. It could go either way. Every translator I've tried translates it to "future development is unexpected", which would be the opposite of what everyone is assuming.

Kingdom Hearts, I cant take it anymore :(
Its a trainwreck of a story

stupidusername1490d ago

Agreed. Loved the first ones to death, but it has totally lost me. I really miss the simpler times from KH1 and 2.

AK911489d ago

Eh KH2 is honestly when the story began to fall apart got WAY too complicated for its own good and it just went got more ridiculous from there.

whitbyfox1489d ago

If you didn’t just play 1, 2 and 3 you’d know exactly what was going on.

Seth_hun1489d ago

I've played ALLOFTHEM. Its a trainwreck still :D

Tross1489d ago (Edited 1489d ago )

Yeah, and good thing we have complete(ish) collections now, as my one beef with the series is that it has always been way more difficult to follow than it really should be. At least it's far easier to experience the bulk of it now than it is with .hack//, but the latter also doesn't require necessarily having played/read/seen all of it. It's a bit ridiculous IMHO that an IP that contains Disney characters is so convoluted. At least it's better now than it was back in the early 2000s when KH2 made zero sense unless you played a GBA game or checked out a two-volume manga adaptation, and the series has only grown from there.

whitbyfox1489d ago

The mistake they made was numbering them. The many handheld versions were canon. I played them all back to back and i understood the story. Maybe the gaps in release made people forget bits.

AK911489d ago

As confusing as the story is I wouldn't mind a Verum Rex spin off game from the KH Dev team.

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.

OMNlPOTENT362d 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.
