It's no secret that 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Kingdom Hearts 3's toughest boss🤡, Yozora, and Final Fantasy 15's Noctis have a lot in common, but a fan's datamine reveals that they originally had even more similarities. 

As spotted by , a Kingdom Hearts dataminer, known as @ on Twitter, has discovered some interesting details about Kingdom Hearts 3 Re Mind's (DLC) very mysterious boss, Yozora. According to the dataminer, at one point during the sequel's development, Yozora was supposed to have an ability called 'Shift Break' - which is reportedly what Noctis' Warp Strik🌃e ability is called in Japanese. 

What's even more interesting, this ability was featured in the game fairly deep into development. As you can see from the video below, TruebladeSeeker was able to demonstrate the scrapped ability. As the tweet explains, this 🅘ability is noticeably unfinished but you can clearly see Yozora throwing his sword and warping towards Sora. It's basically the same as Noctis' Warp Strike, minus the attack at the end. 

Kingdom Hearts director and frequent Final Fantasy developer, Tetsuya Nomura, has made it pretty clear that Yozora (a𝓡s well as the rest of his crew from the fictional in-game video game Verum Rex) is a reference to the developer's original vision for Final Fantasy 15, Final Fantasy Versus 13 - so we're really not surprised to see more of Noctis in Yozora. 

Elsewhere in the datamine, TruebladeSeeker also found out more specifics about Yozora's abilities. According to the dataminer, the move where Yozora steals Sora's Keyblade i꧒s called 'Heart Break' and the one where he steals Sora's health and items is called 'Energy Break'. As for the rest of Yozora's abilities, spe൲cifically, the one where the Verum Rex character pulls out a gun is called 'Time Break', and his desperation move is called 'High Voltage'.

The main takeaway from this story is that Tets🐟uya Nomura will always try and find a way to connect things. So we should all just accept that Yozora is Noctis, Noctis is in Verum Rex, and Verum Rex is actually Fin🍰al Fantasy Versus 13 without asking too many questions.

After studying Film Studies and Creative Writing at university, I was lucky enough to land a job as an intern at Player Two PR where I helped to release a number of indie titles. I then got even luckier when I became a Trainee News Writer at GamesRadar+ before being promoted to a fully-fledged News Writer after a year and a half of training.  🍌;My expertise lies i🐽n Animal Crossing: New Horizons, cozy indies, and The Last of Us, but especially in the Kingdom Hearts series. I'm also known to write about the odd Korean drama for the Entertainment team every now and then.
