How Square Enix Convinced Disney to Make Kingdom Hearts

In the early days at Disney, the idea for Kingdom Hearts was regarded by some as an “abomination”.

Even riskier to their brand was Square Enix's proposal to use their own Final Fantasy characters and have them interact with fan-favourite figures like Donald and Goofy. It got even more bizarre when game director Tetsuya Nomura walked into a meeting with a picture of the new protagonist Sora wielding a massive chainsaw. This was terrifying for Disney, who had become known in the industry for being strict with licensing out their characters.

I like what's on their legacy IP list, but there are still many more franchises they could revive. Shining Force and Chakan come to mind.

Glad they didn't change the art style. This is looking good.. Why did they change the way the characters look anyway? The very first style was kind of ok, it was fine by Risky's Revenge and Pirate's Curse.. both in game sprite and the dialogue popups, why keep changing it? I am not as fussed on her newer look. She's looking kinda too dark or sunburnt now.
