Guess that's another 10 years before he's free again

LET ME OUT

:bizDolan:

[Estoria#4001 19]

Hopefully KH4 has more writers

We need a writer's room in order to keep this mess in order

> Akiyama: I haven't watched them that much, but I saw Tarzan in theaters after I finished development on "Vagrant Story", and it was very good. Around that time, Nomura made the story for "Kingdom Hearts". He had plans to add in the Tarzan world, so I begged him to let me do it. (laugh) Another movie I liked was Nightmare Before Christmas.

Why do those names sound familiar

[2 quid is good 2,209]

> Akiyama: Well, the stories are based on the movies, but since "Kingdom Hearts" has its own original story, we took liberties outside of that. Personally, I wanted to add more Disney-like gags. I wanted more gags such as the one where Donald gets squished by the door in Traverse Town. (laugh)

[Otti#8624 26]

Ohhhhhh

That...would be wild

And not in a good way

> Scenario, Event Planning Director
> Jun Akiyama
> Major Works
> Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy Tactics, Vagrant Story
> A Game’s Secret Only I Know
> From the very beginning, we were planning to add in Disney-like songs in several places. During the scene when Sora, Donald, and Goofy meet, we thought of having them explain the abilities and such through singing.

ahahahah

what is it with square and musicals

[Novayon 192]

Well that's the heartless gauntlet done

Can you believe that

[2 quid is good 2,209]

In shock really

Oh Nova might like this snippet

> ---For things such as the hard to reach treasure boxes, and the hard to reach ledges, was it a different map supervisor for those settings?
> Tanaka: Yes. Each supervisor's personalities come out for the placement of the treasure boxes and the contraptions in the maps.
> Endou: Wonderland and Monstro, which are known for its high difficulty, was created by the same supervisor. (laugh)

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Oh God

[2 quid is good 2,209]

> ---I heard that there were a lot of contraptions you were not able to put in because of time constraints.
> Tanaka: There's a lot of them, isn't there. (laugh) For example, such as the guillotine in Halloweentown's Guillotine Square, we were planning to make that movable but in the game you cannot. There was also supposed to be an event you can activate in Jack's house as well.

[Novayon 192]

That's interesting actually, so different people had different worlds

[2 quid is good 2,209]

Imagine KH1 with MOAR platforming

[Estoria#4001 19]

[Novayon 192]

:axelbehold:

Sounds even better

[2 quid is good 2,209]

OMG

DESTATI IS CURSED

[Novayon 192]

I'm not surprised about wonderland and monstro having the same one now I think about it, both worlds have a thing for multiple entrances into a room and the design wrapping back on itself

[Estoria#4001 19]

Who was the designer behind Hollow Bastion?

> --- I heard that there apparently was a “cursed song.”
> Shimomura: In the beginning and ending of the game, there is a song with a chorus. That chorus is a phrase that expresses the dark side of Kingdom Hearts, and it was used in several songs. However, once we tried loading the chorus data in when we were creating the songs, something bad would happen. The worst thing that happened was when the electricity to the building was cut off. (laugh)
