    Not including the Final Fantasy characters was a huge oversight. I think they heavily underestimated how much players expected to see them again, and misunderstood the reason why.

      Without the FF characters, this doesn't feel like a crossover between SquareEnix and Disney anymore. this feels like a Disney game made by SquareEnix. I remember fanboying whenever I saw my favorite FF characters on screen interacting with Disney characters. such as Hades talking to Cloud about killing Hercules, and Cid arguing with Merlin about the conditions of the house. I loved seeing my favorite characters meet. but with all these crossovers now gone, this is like if we just focused on Iron Man in the Avengers movie and no one else. just Tony. all other characters are absent. this isn't an Iron Man movie, this is an Avengers movie, but all the other characters are no where to be found. they're not even mentioned.
      Even if Sora, Riku and the others are strong enough to stand on their own as their own characters now, the lack of FF still leaves a void. I really hope to see them return in the future.

      Nomura said it is a Disney game through and through and he only used FF characters because Sora and friends were unknown at the time so it helped draw in an audience for the early games, now that Sora is well known, final fantasy characters are not needed anymore. It makes sense, and he said it himself. Especially with Star Wars and Marvel potentially being in KH4. Small chance for FF characters coming back and if they do probably small hype cameos. Very small. He also said he hates when people think its a Final Fantasy game and say its a "Final Fantasy and Disney collab" it's not.

    Let's be honest here the reason why Kingdom Hearts exist is because of Disney X Final Fantasy and not having FF in KH is like removing a peace of the charm of KH. Yeah you could say that there's A few FF nods and Easter egg here in there but it's not the same :/ plus FF characters are like the characters that shows you the ropes and warns you of the danger of each world. if not they pretty much serve as your sparring body or a pretty cool secret boss. :)

    It is *NOT* for the best that we don’t see final fantasy characters in kingdom hearts .... those guys are the very first friends you encounter after you literally witnessed the end of the world in your island . The way Kingdom Hearts 1 portrayed them made them look like family ... like the only place where I can feel really safe ... in kingdom hearts 2 we fought alongside them in the battle in hollow bastion made our bonds even stronger ... in birth by sleep we visit their hometown but don’t get to meet them and I was okay because it’s a prequel and they were probably still too young back then , but for KH3 not having FINAL FANTASY characters , I'm pissed ... no ... I'm triggered ! I want my family back ! I don’t give a single piece of shit about Star Wars or marvels ... The DLC'd better be in Radiant Garden ... don’t you even think about stripping KH3 of his Final Fantasy cast ! We were expecting new characters in the series but instead we lost the characters we had in the game to begin with ... what the heck , Nomura !

Pls don't be in denial.
      Edit - Already finished KH III, and what a disappointment the story was. I thought the decision to left out the FF characters could mean Nomura was focusing on original characters and good narrative, but guess what? Too many "next kh" baits, story wasn't coherent, dialogues were bad lmao, and it did feel lacking.
      Even Baymax world was a disappointment, and the Frozen world, it felt like it is still fine if Sora wasn't there. Story happened on its own, pretty much Sora wasn't involved. He and his team kept falling and falling every time he reached the top of the snow mountain. And then went back down anyway and Elsa and Anna things happened. Lol whut.

      Don’t shoot the messenger. From what I understand that was the companies reasoning for not including them. They were initially in the games as fan service to draw people into the series, but now with how many original characters it has from the organization to the main trios, to the Foretellers, and the Dandelions the company wanted to focus on concluding the stories of the characters who the series is actually focused on: its original characters. But who knows what they have planned for down the road, they could easily include DLC to add a world for the FF cast, and even if they don’t that’s what criticism is for, if enough people voice their opinion it could help to direct what they add onto the game. Either way KH3 would’ve been in a tough spot, if they’d delayed it even longer to include everything they were forced to omit people would’ve been pissed, but having it in its current state still has people pissed, so the company was pretty much damned if they did and damned if they didn’t, but at least now they don’t have to worry about the deadline and they can add new stuff at their leisure without having to worry about more criticism about delays

      When they just have Leon in town, with no elaborate backstory as to how he arrived, or Cloud randomly fighting in the Colosseum, or Sephiroth's hidden boss fights, it was clear then they weren't the main cast. It was Square x Disney. Game journalists sold it as FF x Disney, and Square propped their OG characters on FF to sell the games. But 15 years later, FF7 isn't a hot ticket item. Sure, there's a remake, but it doesn't have the hype of the original. We all know where the story goes. I had to play the original, it was hyped that much. The sequel? I played XV. I don't care. I care about The Last of Us 2 and Cyberpunk 2077. We've already got better games this generation, guaranteed. 7 Remake loses it's urgency and impact with one word: Remake. Again, 15 years ago, FF made sense. KH, honestly, deserves better than FF now.

      Prakasa Adnan I’m 2 years late to this reply, but it would’ve been PERFECT for Sora to ask Cloud for advice. Cloud, for a portion of FF7, has a mental breakdown and cannot function mentally or physically and has to rehabilitate himself. They should’ve had Sora seek advice from Cloud and Hercules IMO

    The issue isn't even the lack of final fantasy characters imo... I'm 5-6 worlds in (discounting 100 acre woods) and I have not fought a single organization member. There aren't even many optional bosses available post-game in comparison to the original KH, KH2 or their FM alternatives. The features of KH3 should've been added onto KH2, as of now KH2/FM remains my favourite.

    The Final Fantasy and Disney merge was the reason players were drawn into Kingdom hearts in the first place. It was an unheard of idea that worked so amazingly well and still did not steal the limelight from Sora and his quests.
    Cutting out Final fantasy, especially after making many characters essential in some of the plot, was a bold move. And a bad one in my opinion.

  • @KarimJovian
    @KarimJovian Před rokem +2

    Nomura said it is a Disney game through and through and he only used FF characters because Sora and friends were unknown at the time so it helped draw in an audience for the early games, now that Sora is well known, final fantasy characters are not needed anymore. It makes sense, and he said it himself. Especially with Star Wars and Marvel potentially being in KH4. Small chance for FF characters coming back and if they do probably small hype cameos. Very small. He also said he hates when people think its a Final Fantasy game and say its a "Final Fantasy and Disney collab" it's not.

    • @vexzel5773
      @vexzel5773 Před rokem

      yeah... but Nomura says a lot of things. Like 358/2 days is "intentionally suppose to be boring." to reflect the Nobodies and their mundane existence.
      i personally feel in my subjective opinion that
      - they spent too much time developing KH3 that they had no time or a place to put the FF characters.
      - they could possibly of just forgot, but it is highly unlikely based on interviews suggesting that they were cut intentionally... which they didnt need to do entirely and could of easily had a small cameo or reference seeing as many titles brought FF into the world of KH and have the characters establish friendships or interactions with Sora.
      - the most likely reason that i believe is because of the development of FF7R which was in development as well during the time of KH3. While KH3 came out earlier they may of not wanted Cloud and sephiroth in KH3 because they wanted Cloud and Sephiroths modern design to first appear in FF7R before having a updated modern version in KH3. (.... but... You could bring up Dissidia NT which has updated models for Cloud and sephiroth and they also didnt need to use Cloud and sephiroth as they could of easily used Noctis or Lightning.)
      who knows, but KH3 was a big let down as a whole and KH4 doesnt look good either as of right now especially when you consider how great Yozura cutscenes were and what might Donald and Goofy look like next to Sora's new design...

Let Aerith wish us a safe journey. We had Hayner, Pence and Olette, so why not let Cifer throw a line in. We had stories with these characters, connections. It's not about letting FF promote KH, but about us as players meeting the friends we made in all those years. I really do hope the DLCs bring some of the much needed story content.

      seems like too many people are a bunch of whiners really. the only real reason this game should get any hate is due to its insanely wild storyline. its pretty hard to follow if you aren't doing your homework. as far as characters and worlds not being showcased, its really not that big a problem. not every person or world is going to be relevant in a given part of the story. just like we fall out of comms with friends from time to time due to ebb and flow of our lives. doesn't mean they aren't friends or there anymore, it just means that right now, we aren't able to connect with them. besides.....we need to know wtf happened to sora at the end anyways.

    I was 12 when KH came out and what drew me in was the Disney stuff, and I still love Disney please don’t get me wrong, but what I ended up loving was the FF stuff and the stuff with Sora, Riku, and Kairi. Once I hit my angsty teen years, I found I liked the more edgy FF stuff. They felt more my speed, being quiet, angsty ppl but had friends and liked each other’s company. That was me as a teen, quiet, angsty, kinda emo, but I really liked my friends. Cloud became my favorite character since I related to him the most. Roxas became my favorite KH character since he was so mysterious and more compelling than Sora. I’ll always have the best memories playing KH and KH2, but I feel like I’ve sadly outgrown this franchise as it’s not like it used to be.

    I could be very wrong about that but still if they didn't want to focus on putting their final fantasy characters in the story why didn't at least made any cameos ? of course the only one they put was just Moogle but of course it has to be in the game because it's the supposed to be the shopkeeper but still it doesn't make sense but oh well

    While I agree the characters and story can stand on its own today, it is quite the bummer that all of the FF characters were written out of the KH timeline and story. For the old KH games this played a huge role in delivering nostalgia. While kh3 still delivers nostalgia, it certainly doesn't do so through Final Fantasy characters anymore, instead it does so through its own brand... It's sad to see the FF characters go, but maybe someday, a better game than Dissdia will allow us to play and interact with these characters again

    Piss on that. The reason fans loved kingdom hearts was because it fused two worlds together perfectly. Bringing with it a new but nostalgic feeling. The more the game added "original" characters the more convoluted and ridiculous it got, straying away from what people loved about it originally. They didn't need to keep adding in all these Disney and Pixar characters. They could have had a set amount for both, not trying to force a God damn advertisement into the damn game. Who the fuck cares about a big hero 6 world?not every new movie, or Disney ride, needs to be shoe horned into the game.

    I feel KH3 would’ve been in a tough position either way. With how long it took to release people would’ve complained if they’d delayed it even further to include everything they wanted, but in its current state they’re still complaining. Square was practically damned if they did and damned if they didn’t. But now that it’s released they can add stuff at their leisure and work on DLC, hopefully they’ll see what people want for the game and create new content accordingly like plot for the FF characters, I’d certainly hope for another Sephiroth fight. My hope would be either for Radiant Garden or maybe a return to the Tournaments at Olympus but add character interactions for returning FF characters participating in it. Though I will say I agree with the reason they omitted the FF characters initially, they were there for fan service to begin with to help get the series off the ground, now with its own huge cast of original characters it should focus on developing them further and concluding their storylines, they don’t need the FF characters anymore. That doesn’t mean I still don’t want to see them, but I understand they’ve filled the role that they needed to fill. By this point including them would be purely for fan service reasons, which there is nothing wrong in. I’d personally love to see characters like the ones in the restoration committee come back, or even new additions like Cecil and Kain from FF4, Terra from FF6 (although then we’d have two Terra’s, Riku and Rikku) maybe even replace Sephiroth with Kefka for some new character interactions and boss fights. My point being I don’t think not including them was necessarily a bad call, but now with the game out the potential for new add on’s is endless!
