KH General Chat

[Snakeskin94 13]

The way it works is, Disney owns the characters, but let's square use them, but it's not a licensing thing; both can use the characters, but since they are Disney owned characters designed by Square Enix, Disney has to jump through more hoops to use them than Square does, but Disney can also veto something KH related they don't like.

Disney theoretically can* continue KH on their own *if they wanted through Square, but, they respect and fear Nomura to such a degree that they don't press on it.

They want more, but they're not gonna risk pissing him and Square off, either.

Hence why Square has more freedom than almost anyone else Disney has partnered with. They debate and barter far more than any of their other partners.

love this series man its a franchise that can only exist in the insane zeitgeist of corporate synergies that are present atm

[Snakeskin94 13]

Tl;dr Sora and original characters ARE disney characters, and that's a fact. But they're also square characters, so, it takes more work to get things going that aren't just KH

It honestly is simple until you like, start talking about it lol then it sounds crazier than it is as you're explaining it

[King Arthur13 51]

all in all its a big ol' crazy stew of rights

[Snakeskin94 13]

Yes lol

Man i know 3 pissed some people off and I get it but I still love this franchise lol I'm so ready for 4 dude

[King Arthur13 51]

im so causiously optomistic right now

I just want missing link so I can create my perfect KH protagonist

[Snakeskin94 13]

But Sora already exists lol

[King Arthur13 51]

ah youre right

[King Arthur13 51]

my perfect spinoff protagonist

[Snakeskin94 13]

I was gonna be like "but Xehanort-" but eh I couldn't in good faith lol

[Snakeskin94 13]

Dark Road was good tho

[King Arthur13 51]

I hope missing link has some exclusive worlds and doesnt just do retellings of kh3 worlds or something

like at least 1

[Snakeskin94 13]

I'm hoping the fact that older KH disney world characters got a 3D make over isn't just for the aesthetic and maybe a sign of things to come

[King Arthur13 51]

YEAH

[Snakeskin94 13]

There's legit some old worlds I'd love to see in new graphics like Olympus

Like dude imagine an Agrabah with KH3 exploration, or Wonderland

Or shit even Snow White and Aurora's worlds

[King Arthur13 51]

dude if KH4 has like an big finale moment where a ton of the disney characters show up id explode

[Snakeskin94 13]

I've wanted it since I was 8 years old.

[Snakeskin94 13]

 

I kinda got it in the Melody of Memory credits too lol

 

[King Arthur13 51]

melody of memory makes me mad tho 😦

[King Arthur13 51]

they put kairi on the box man

why is she only playable for 2 songs

i call that false advertising

you dont give a character top billing on the box and NOT have them playable for a majority

thats just game design 101

[Snakeskin94 13]

I think I'm just eh on that part of the game

Like I didn't even mind

the rematch with Xehanort

 

It makes sense she wouldn't like be strong enough yet. My issue is

using the power of Sora's love is fine, but her character model switching to Sora? I was like why lmao

yesterday i overheard my dad at the dinner table saying "sora" and i thought he got into kh and i realized 2 sec later he was talking about the openai knockoff

I LOVE KAIRI 🔥🔥🔥

[Snakeskin94 13]
