Kingdom Hearts 3 Final Mix: 10 Things It MUST Add
Why wasn't Destiny Islands playable?
Kingdom Hearts 3 may have only just released, but that doesn't mean we're not already thinking about the future of the series.
Although the game as a whole was fantastic, that doesn't mean that it can't be improved in many ways. There's also a ton of content that would make the game even better, as well as fixing some things that were disappointing about the game.
Tetsuya Nomura has confirmed that DLC of some kind will be coming to the game, and I can't help but think that means a big "Final Mix" package will come along and introduce a ton of changes.
Previous games in the series have seen Final Mix re-releases, and they've all been pretty significant in terms of what they added to the game and how they changed some mechanics. Final Mix has even added staples for the franchise such as Critical Mode.
Kingdom Hearts 3 has ended up being pretty divisive for all that it does differently (and how it concluded things), so hopefully, a few changes and additions would result in a better package overall.
Since this talks about some of the endgame content for Kingdom Hearts 3, there are spoilers ahead!
10. New Keyblades
Kingdom Hearts 3 made a big change to the way that Keyblades work compared to the rest of the series. As great as it was, I can't help but feel there wasn't enough done overall.
In the older games, each Keyblade had different stats and looked different, but that was about it. Kingdom Hearts 3 introduces Keyblade Transformations that make each Keyblade really distinct from one another.
Take the Favourite Deputy for example, which transforms into both a hammer and a drill. It means that choosing a loadout for Keyblades is actually based on more than just their stats.
Despite this, there are only two original Keyblades in the whole game, and 9 Disney-based Keyblades. This is pretty small compared to other games, and the roster is notably missing some fan-favourites such as Oathkeeper and Oblivion.
A Final Mix version of Kingdom Hearts 3 definitely needs to fix this.
Some of the Keyblades also need to be given their own transformation, as some are just copied other from others, which to be honest, after such a long wait, feels a bit lazy.
