Sandra_Nedelcheva1998 244 Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Hello everyone.Sandra here.The last week I have been exploring some of the KH games unknown elements like the some of the removed content,parts left behind from the beta versions and many,many more things.You may know most of the things but I've decided to show you and explain for the ones who don't.So here we go.. Kingdom Hearts The idea for making this game first came up in a elevator.You see"ELEVATORS ARE WHERE THE MAGIC HAPPENEDS" just kidding. Square Enix and Disney's Interactive studio in Japan work in the same building and one day in that elevator they accidently trade ideas and wholla--They got the plot for Kingdom Hearts.Also,You may wonder how the game got's its name.As I heard,before the game was released in the U.S., Square held a "Name-in-Game" contest. A person named Kurt Zisa won the contest, and his name was used for a hidden boss in the game.Also there were character changes.Rikku was originally meant to be have appearence in Traverse Town and Irvine was replaced by Wakka.Believe it or not.The Castle and Crumbling Island could be playable (of course if you're some kind of a hacker or what ever)And this picture was Sora's first desigh.It was planned he to be this lion/human hybrid with this badass CHAINSAW.Also it was planned MIckey to be the main character while Disney wanted Donald Duck to be.As bosses in the game,The Final Fantasy Dragon Bahamut and the Assult Rider needed to take part but later they were removed. Kingdom hearts Chains of Memories There's little to say about this beta version.It was planned in the game to be showed "Dive to Heart" likely as a memory-fabricated floor in CO but it was removed.Deep Jungle was set to appear in the game—as an early screenshot of the game testifies—as was its Keyblade, Jungle King, as a card was removed due to Disney being unable to secure the rights to use Tarzan in future works.In the early screenshots of the game there've magic cards such as Cure,Thunder and others but later were put out.Also Nomura planned for Marluxia to be a female so that Larxene wouldn't be the only one. However, he concluded that Xemnas would not want to put a female in charge of Castle Oblivion, so decided to make Marluxia a male instead. Hence Marluxia's pink hair and flower power(Which makes Larxene forever alone) Kingdom Hearts II Most beta version of KH 2 can be found on the link on the bottom of the topic. There's an alternative theme from the Twiligth Town song and some scenes that never ended up in the final product)Also a number of unused models exist in the game code, many of them complete, such as Riku in his Kingdom Hearts attire and younger Riku in an Organization XIII cloak, as he appeared in the ending of Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days Some of you remember that Pinocchio's World was originally planned but later removed because of space restrictions.Nomura explained that the planned plot for the world was Set in a circus and playing off the story of Pinocchio, a puppet with a heart, and the Nobodies who possess no heart, we planned for a sad episode with Roxas and Xion looking for hope for themselves. (Pretty sad ,Rigth?) But NOT all things of that world vanished.The world would have included Pinocchio (as a human) and Geppetto, as well as the villains, Honest John and Gideon from the original film. The profile sprites for the characters still appear within the final game's code.Hades's ,Megana's and Tinker bell's sprites are there too.From Wikia I found that palette swaps of Midnight Roar and Twilight exist in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days's game data, but do not appear as formal weapons.An early promotional artwork for Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, and Kingdom Hearts coded depicted the main characters of each game in a tripartite mural. Roxas was included in the Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days section, yet was drawn to look several years older than his Kingdom Hearts II appearance. Nothing related to this was covered in the actual game, and as of yet no explanation has been given for this design variation. Nomura also commented on how he came up with Xion. “The name Xion and her background story was thought of and constructed during the production of this title, but we actually had the concept for a girl character like Xion drawn up since Roxas’s defection from Organization XIII. Therefore during the production of this title, we just worked on expanding on the ideas we had for that girl character and wrote Xion’s story around that concept.” Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep This going to be my favourite part The Jungle Book was originally set to appear as a playable world in the game, but was removed. The world can still be accessed by the use of cheat codes. A number of areas are accessible, including Louie's Throne Room.Also Pleakley from the original Lilo & Stitch movie was set to make an appearance in Deep Space, but removed for unknown reasons. His model is still in the game's coding, albeit without textures.Aqua's desigh is an interesting story.The rear of Aqua's outfit was left ambiguous for some time due to series creator Tetsuya Nomura being unsure in its finalization. Until mid-2009, the back was left exposed until the game was officially released, where only the upper-back was exposed due to censorship. Also, Aqua's hair and eyes were a dark shade of blue, and lacked the sheen her final model has. Kingdom Hearts Coded and Re:Coded Kingdom Hearts Re:coded was to use talk sprites in the same fashion as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days. The idea was scrapped in the final release, but the talk sprites are still available within the game's coding. As for Coded an early screenshot reveals that Shadow Sora was originally set to appear in Traverse Town, but was removed . That's all.Sorry for giving you too much to read and for the strange tipping of the text. I had problems with the topic writer . Check out this link down from wikia from where I found all of this and more informations.And as always,I hope you'll like this. http://kingdomhearts...m_Hearts_series Edited August 12, 2012 by Sandra_Nedelcheva1998 4 tothecikpah, Kello, "Photos"GIM? and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kirux 1,224 Posted August 13, 2012 (edited) Marluxia is NOT gay! Roses symbolize death in Japan. ANd also, Unclo Dolan is correct. Lots of the sentences are identical Good thing he uses Cherry blossoms, which represent clouds due to how they seem to appear in mass quanities which have lead to them becoming a symbolism of the ephemeral nature of life itself in Japanese culture. Which suits his adment pursuit of getting his heart back rather well. Edited August 13, 2012 by Kirux Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This needs to be investigated..... Oh and for KH3D, Square-Enix was planned to put Lightning from FFXIII Series, but she was removed.....
