Alright, here goes nothing. So, Kingdom Hearts, right? It’s like this magical mashup of Disney magic and Square Enix’s RPG madness. And, I mean, who doesn’t love seeing Donald Duck swing a staff next to Final Fantasy’s Cloud? Crazy! But lately, I’ve been thinking – maybe it’s, I dunno, time to shake things up? Enter: Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Yeah, this game totally made waves when it dropped on April 24, 2025. Sold, like, millions. I’m not even kidding. Maybe Kingdom Hearts could borrow a note or two from its playbook?
Here’s what got me hooked on Clair Obscur: the characters there? Absolutely unforgettable. They’ve got this emotional depth and narrative punch – kinda sticks to you, y’know? It feels like adding such vibes to Kingdom Hearts could totally work. Like, woo boy, imagine some of those intense story beats meshing with Sora’s gang. Bonkers, right?
But wait, there’s more! The combat in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33? Chef’s kiss. It’s engaging in a way that makes Kingdom Hearts’ battles feel… well, not bad, but they could use a fresh twist. Maybe borrowing a bit from Clair Obscur wouldn’t hurt. Like, the fans deserve it, honestly. And can you imagine the possibilities? It’s like opening a portal to endless crossover wonder.
Speaking of openings, Kingdom Hearts 4 seems the perfect chance for this. It’s shaping up to be a reset of sorts. New place, Quadratum – sounds like this limbo-y type gig where lost souls hang out. Perfect staging ground to usher new stories and match-ups beyond the usual Square Enix zone. There’s a real opportunity here to expand the world, wider and wilder than before.
Sure, branching out is risky. I get it. But man, if Kingdom Hearts ropes in titles like Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it could be a festival of epic narratives and gameplay. It could be one of the greatest action JRPGs on any gamer’s list. Anyway, let’s see where this goes – maybe I’ve got it all wrong, or maybe, just maybe, this is exactly what the series needs. Who knows?
