    13.8%
  2. The Sora used in-game

    86.2%

    While browsing the Kingdom Hearts Wiki, I found this image. Back during the planning stage, THIS is what Sora was supposed to look like. Do you think the change to what he ended up as in KH1 was for the better, or should he have stayed this way?

    He looks. . . like a furry. Personally, I think normal Sora looks the best. It's all in the hair.

    I can understand that. At the same time, I have to go the other way for the same reason. I have a thing for furries. Plus, the lack of red "pumpkin-pants" (to quote Tigger) is also a plus.

    I'm not saying him being a furry is a bad thing. Hell, I'm one too. Obviousness included. Really, most of my problems are in his head. I don't think the ears or the hair work, personally. Maybe if they gave him more. . . Lion-ey ears.

    Was this confirmed? KH Wiki can be wrong at times.

    Anyway, I heard the thing he carried was called a "zipper blade" (was meant to be a chainsaw wasn't it?) but was never sure if this was an official concept design.

    And to stay on topic.
    Game Sora better. Players can feel as if they are sora seeing how he is Human. Playing a game as some beast creature man thing can throw players off sometimes.

    This is true, THOUGH im not sure if this is the image. Square wanted King Mickey to be the main character of the game, while Disney wanted Donald Duck to be the main character. Later on the role of main character was given to Sora, who was originally half-human and half-lion, and had a chainsaw blade.

    I don't really think this is the image though. a little more reseach i must doo

    In-game Sora is much better. Nothing about the concept-Sora works for me. Maybe I'm just too used to the finalized version.

    Uh, no. That just doesn`t work. Cute and all, but...no.

    And I`m glad Enix made Sora the main character, I wouldn`t have played Kh if it had Mickey in any bigger role. I don`t like Disney characters, Donald&Goofy are okay, but if Mickey would have been the main character the game would have been something like 3-7 years old kids would play... That`s my only my opinion, of course.

    x3pic I'll Kill You.

    Well you opinion is wrong. First off 3-7 year olds already play Kingdom Hearts. Secondly, Even if the game did make Mickey the main protagonist the game still would have FF characters in it. Lastly, If Mickey was the main protagonist, the game would have been much darker, If it still followed what Mickey did in the KH1, CoM, BBS, and Days. Mickey's adventure in KH is much more darker and deeper than sora's. So little kids 3-7 probably wouldn't want to play it. (i could go on forever, but i won't im just amused at how blind you are about the games story).

    ??? I do not like the shoes. Looks like those 1770's shoes. Why in the world do Sora have Squall's griever symbol on that sword anyways? This sora looks like he belongs in the Pride Lands. the in-game is much better.

    Kyuu your worst nightmare.

    I'm for the game Sora.
    That original is cute, but no.

    What the hell is that weapon? It looks like that magnetic wheel on the stick thing that you use hand motions to keep moving.

    Can't think for the life of me what that toy would be called. :/
    And no, this Sora looks like the love child of Goku and Zidane. I could see them doing it.

    This thing.

    I think it was meant to be that "Chain Saw" weapon Nomura wanted before Disney said it was too violent.
    I've heard "Zipper Blade" but I'm not entirely sure.

    Would you believe that Square Enix will add Trance mode to KH games if they using this version of Sora?
     
  17. I hate that concept art. What the hell Enix? What the hell?

    EEW! I don't think that Sora's trance mode would be that. Besides, if they try to give Sora a trance mode, they might end up giving Kairi a trance mode herself.
     
  19. I bet Kairi's would be completely out of whack.

    I think that I remember that picture from waaaay back when I was browsing the KH stuff all around the internet. That's the same picture that I saw, but can't say if it's the original. Maybe, maybe not.
