Kingdom Hearts 3 Proud Mode

Kingdom Hearts 3 Proud Mode

There are three standard difficulty options for you to pick between at the start of the game. The first is beginner, the second is standard, and the third is, of course, Proud Mode. As you would expect, these three difficulty options are equal to the easy, normal, and hard modes in other games.

As such, picking the Kingdom Hearts 3 Proud Mode affects how the game will feel. Enemies will be harder to take down and you will have to be more strategic so as not to die often. However, it’s worth noting that this author has played the game through standard and it was surprisingly easy. We only died once through the whole game and it was not exactly the typical combat at the time.

Needless to say, but Kingdom Hearts 3 Proud Mode is certainly for those players who want at least some challenge. It also affects the unlock requirements for the secret ending. You will have to find fewer Lucky Emblems in the world to unlock it as opposed to the other difficulty options.
