Orange Beta Sora

[JTD95 1,107]

Hiya folks! I recently stumbled across some old blurry screenshots of KH1 which features Sora in orange clothes (and with white hair?) and was wondering if anyone has ever seen any other images of him like that in higher resolution? I can't seem to find any myself and it would be dope to see such an old and unused version of our favorite boy!

Here's the blurry image I found:

Can't say that it's in a higher resolution, but I found some more pictures

Brilliant! Some of them are a bit bigger and a bit clearer.

I can not see him in that image at all but here is some fun trivia about Sora's conceptualization; one of his earliest designs was a feline hybrid with a keyblade that was more of a chainsaw and he was originally intended as a supporting character.

As I remember reading it, Mickey and Donald were the top choices for the protagonist but the developers could not come to a decision between them so felt the best solution was neither in favor of an original character. Therefor our guy was promoted.

As I see, on these screenshots he's without tail and crown. It reminds me about a little later design, where he already has keyblade. But clothes more similar to this concept. Strange.

And I would never thought that Sora's hair was white.
