Nomura talks Kingdom Hearts sequel

With Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix + Re: Chain of Memories at last out in Japan, Tetsuya Nomura and crew can now devote all their energy to their next project. And that appears to be another Kingdom Hearts game, or at least another tie-up with Disney. But is it Kingdom Hearts III?

well so this is a new series in the kingdom hearts universe well this is awesome, a break away from the normal, this one seems more gritty and much more dark than the past 2. which means that the goofy enemies i hope wont be such an occurance, maybe something new and fresh, So it's a Game that's in The KH universe but is it's own series. well this means that Kingdom hearts 3 the true sequel to kingdom hearts 2 wont be till after this title comes out. i wonder what system this new series of kingdom hearts will be for.

This will probably play the same roll Chain of Memories did for KH2. It's the "in between" game. I have a feeling this will be a Wii title. That or a DS, but im gonna go with Wii for the time being.

Sorry guys (actually, not really) , I don't see Xbox anywhere near Kingdom Hearts in the future.

Nomura has said that the Kingdom Hearts Team will be the one to develop Final Fantasy Versus XIII for the PS3, which means that they probably won't be working on a new project besides Versus in the near future. Either way, Nomura also said that the next Kingdom Hearts won't be numbered and that will probably not be a direct sequel (mainly because Sora and Riku may not appear on it).

This could also mean that the team behind it won't be the KH team, so he won't continue the main story just yet.

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.

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.

OMNlPOTENT361d 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.
