Why is it that KH characters shout out the names of their magic attacks, when the FF characters never do?

Ive heard the yells in KH so many times, that now i just shout the names of the magic spells whenever i play FF. I have no idea why they shout the names. Maybe it makes the spells stronger? Like in Anime.

I was just going to say because they're KH characters and not FF characters o.0 I honestly don't know to be dramatic or something maybe? haha

I can understand Sora doing that because of his personality, and maybe Ven just to show he's not weak, but i have no idea why the more serious characters like Riku, Aqua, and Terra do it. I guess if one of them does it, they all have too.

Number 1 rule of anime and video games: Always yell your special attack names. Always.

Its not the number 1 rule in FF. The number 1 rule is, never yell your special attack names. Only grunts.

Not only anime and video games but in a few movies too. (Ex. Gru from Despicable Me)

I never really put much thought into it, it was just something that was sort of there for me, so I didn't really mind that characters other than Sora were yelling out spells and attacks too.

 

I guess it just has to be a universally accepted truth, that every KH character must yell out their spells and stuff haha!~

I never put much thought into it until today, when i borrowed FFVII Crisis Core, and noticed that Zack never says anything when he casts spells. I never noticed in FF XIII, since they have battle grunts/yells instead of yelling the name of the attack, but its definitely noticable in Crisis Core when the main character doesn't say it at all.

If I were to try to make an explanation for this, maybe it just is "easier" to cast the spell that way?  I really have no idea, immersion maybe?  I seriously have no clue what I'm talking about.

Maybe they took lessons from the HP crew.

FF characters know better.
