When Kingdom Hearts was first revealed, you were either into it because you saw Donald Duck waving a staff around Tarzan’s jungle, or you saw Cloud, Squall, and Sephiroth and your inner Final Fantasy nerd had a meltdown.
What Nomura said in a recent interview is that Kingdom Hearts is a collaboration between Disney and its own original characters and that Final Fantasy’s iconic stars were just marketing. Even if this isn’t a surprise to many fans, it’s still insulting.
Looking back at Final Fantasy 6 on its 30th anniversary provides a snapshot of one of gaming's most important franchises at a pivotal turning point.
Gary Green said: It’s interesting to revisit the roots of your favorite franchises to see first-hand what’s changed and what’s stuck around all these years, though perhaps ‘visit’ would be more accurate than ‘revisit’ since apparently, Europe wasn’t worthy of the original six Final Fantasy games the first time around. By the time we started getting ports of these iconic games, we’d already been through the PSOne JRPG golden age. So we’d already seen the best of what Final Fantasy had to offer, while these predecessors looked outdated, unrefined, and (dare I say it) ugly. We aren’t bitter about the delayed releases, honest…
I'd love to but square said fk you to the ps fanbase that wanted these physically. Meanwhile switch got a physical release.

I always go Yuna, Aerith, Rikku, Rinoa, and for some reason Vanilla, Ashe, Cindy, Lunafreya, Quistis
Needs to go back to how it was done in the first game. We're introduced to both Disney and FF in Traverse Town, and their worlds collide there too with Donald and Goofy meeting Aerith and then the rest. For Namura to come out and say FF was never important to KH was just bs. I still can't believe we didn't get a conclusion to the Sephiroth and Cloud fight!
The reason it embraced Disney more than Final Fantasy is because it is a Disney IP so Disney has final say in what goes in it.
Yes. But square doesn't think so anymore. Original characters and disney will take up the majority. They'll just sell them as dlc like remind. Dumb af because ff+disney was the original attraction kh had.
