KH1 A strange "Did you know?"

[::Heart_XIII:: 2]

...that in the beta trailer of Kingdom Hearts, Sora was meant to access the Keyhole to Destiny Islands, and that he was the one who was meant to be saved and not Kairi?

I saw this under the KH wiki's "Did you know?" section and found it very odd.

Just think about how it would have been if KH1 actually went like that.

Who would have to save Sora? Riku? And what would happen to Kairi?

That would have changed the whole game around completely.

 

So, what are your thoughts on this?

Ha ha i wonder how it will be to play as Kairi lol

[got it memorized 3]

it doesn't mention Riku, so my guess is that in this case Riku would still fall into darkness, and they would have allowed Kairi to have a strong enough heart to be a keyblade wielder, and we could possibly have played as her as both a princess of heart and a keyblade wielder. unless making her a keyblade wielder would have given SE reason to take away her status as a princess of heart, and give it to another Disney princess. this would have changed the game completely, though, as you said, who knows what it would be like if they followed through with the beta trailer into the completed game itself.

wow that's creepy shit.

[KingdomHeartsFan2100 1]

That's quite interesting...

[J. Severe 1,137]

Kairi... as a playable character? O_o... *goes back in time to stop Square Enix from changing KH's initial storyline*

[kingdomhearts2 6]

never knew that

[HydratedTadpole 4]

Wait, it never said Sora didn't have a keyblade because he had to access the Keyhole.... SO maybe you find him later in the game like Kairi and help him to close the worlds.

I wouldn't quite say that sora was meant to be rescued the same way as kairi. It was probably just like something like Sora loses his heart at hollow bastion, and then they said "we have to save sora"

[hatok 6,413]

Yeah, this is old(for reason's I won't mention)

 

I'm pretty sure there's only one reason.

It takes place in the past.

Yeah that would make more sence, although it would be fun to see a role change

im pretty sure mickey mouse was the original hero, who would save sora.

[riku1123 11]

wasn't donald duck originally supposed to be the main character?

[Rose Riku 39]

wasn't donald duck originally supposed to be the main character?

 

Yeah, Nomura wanted Donald to be - and then Disney said no. >: So maybe a Disney character was supposed to go save him. And work with Kairi? Or something.

[Rodman 22]

That would give an interesting twist.

I'm a bit rusty, but wasn't it Disney that wanted Donald to be the main character? I thought Nomura wanted Mickey.

[Rose Riku 39]

Actually, yeah, Disney wanted Donald. And Square wanted Mickey - but Nomura didn't want either. They told Square they didn't want MICKEY to be a main character. Sorry. My bad.

Oh, I didn't know Nomura didn't want either. You learn something new every day

[Razorwind Keyblade 304]

I knew about that for a while so this is nothing new to me.

 

If this is true, I honestly don't get why this would happen.

hahha. funny and Interesting one.

[roxas27 52]

cool.....

[Oishii 3,987]

I wonder what happened in the conference room that made them scrap this idea?

[Rodman 22]

I didn't know.

[replika13 455]

well...if you are interested about khs beta plans... i have knowed this couple of years.

[earth_angel 73]

I actually heard something else too, something very weird. The people who originally came up with the idea of a Final Fantasy/Disney game thought it would be cool if the main character would be swinging around a chainsaw. Obviously, Disney didn't think that was a good idea and it wouldn't have such an awesome storyline if they would've executed that idea.
