Kingdom Hearts 3 Final Mix: 10 Things It MUST Add

9. Critical Mode Difficulty

A big complaint that many have had about Kingdom Hearts 3 is how easy the game is. Time to fix that.

With all of the new abilities that Sora has in Kingdom Hearts 3, it's not surprising that the game is considered a little bit too easy. Even Proud Mode is generally thought to be a bit too simple compared to previous games.

The best fix? Critical mode.

Critical mode is the hardest difficulty in the Kingdom Hearts series and was previously introduced in a previous Final Mix. This is what makes it most likely to be introduced here.

It was already pretty surprising that critical mode wasn't included in the base game, but that just makes it pretty clear that it's being held off for Final Mix.

Critical Mode isn't just 'hard' either, it's actually a very balanced experience in previous games and tends to bring out the best of the combat mechanics. Kingdom Hearts 2 is unarguably more fun on Critical difficulty.

This would hopefully fix the problem of Kingdom Hearts 3 being too easy, and make those last encounters even more special.
