    Personally I'm more interested in what Kingdom Hearts would be like without Square. If it was just a Disney game.

    Probably a SQUENIX game that leaves a bad taste in your mouth because of the nonsensical cheesi-ness? I'm pretty sure the cheesiest only works because of Disney.

    I agree. The Disney element allowed KH to be a little more childish, but still appeal to older people. Because who doesn't still love Disney, at least a little?

    Actually, I can't comprehend a Kingdom Hearts without the Disney. It just works so well together. So, without the Disney, there'd be no Kingdom Hearts.

    Without Disney, they would try to count more on their Final Fantasy counterpart. Most likely would have some of the characters but the final fantasy villians would replace the Disney villians. XD Ultimecia replacing Maleficent perhaps.

    If KH didn't have Disney, it would be another FF game. If KH didn't have FF, it would be Epic Mickey, which is coming out within a year or so.

    No. Just no. If KH didn't have Disney, it would be another FF game with new villains. It may have the heroes from other games, but I believe all the villains would be original. And, as much as I love FFVIII, I don't think Square would consider it enough to have the villains take some key plot point.

    Dang, I was just about to say that. Well, the only good that would come out of this would that it would've been FFXIII, which could skip the KH story and go to KH2 with the Organization.

    As much as I like Ultimecia.. that sounds like some god-awful fanfic - like the majority found on FF.net

    I don't understand why you are so stuck on Ultimecia. She's probably one of the weakest of the FF villains- she's got like no motivation for any of her behavior, she comes right out of nowhere, and she's not really even very badass in VIII. Maleficent is a much stronger villain and Ultimecia would not do her justice. In my opinion.

    I agree with you about the original villains. I think they'd either do that, or use Sephiroth. Since everyone loves Sephiroth.

    See, I dunno. Epic Mickey sounds a lot darker than the KH series. I don't know if Disney would have come out with something like that if KH hadn't come first. I think KH would have been even cheesier/more childish without the FF influence.

    I am just stuck on her just because she is just a mystery to me and because I thought that she would be linked well in the discussion. -__- But then who would be the princesses of hearts with Kairi as an exception?

    As are you, SB. . .

    Anyways, it would be just another fanfic without Disney. I mean, most of the FF characters in KH are taken WAY out of their original context.

    And Epic Mickey, as far as I have seen, isn't quite so dark as what you seem to say, Toph. Though, it does seem to have its moments.

    Hmm, perhaps not. I haven't seen anything on it very recently. But it does still seem a little darker than the typical Disney kid thing. And since KH seems to be targeted towards a younger audience (or at least, perhaps at first) than the typical FF game, I don't think Disney alone would have gone the darker route. But that's my opinion.

    Epic Mickey isnt as dark as everyone thought it would be at the begining,but it is pretty dark for Disney these days.More like the old days,which is the whole point of it.However,it probably wouldnt happen if it werent for KH.Ok,maybe it would,but it probably got the green light faster because of KH.

    I dont need to say anything about the actually topic of this thread,its been said enough times by everyone else,my opinion is the same.Basically an FF fanfic if it wasnt for the Disney element,if it even became thought of without the Disney part.Kingdom Hearts would not be the KH we know if Disney was not part of it.

    Kingdom Hearts without Disney would have Sora as a lion-man. I'd still say SQUARE/SQUARENIX would try to pick the all ages path (as they kind of have done with the Crystal Chronicles series) and still have some sort of heart theme... or zips. Cant go wrong with a story full of zips, Mr Nomura =P

    I think they wanted Sora to carry a chainsaw instead of a Keyblade, but Disney didn't allow it. So Kingdom Hearts without Disney would be a lot of chainsaw action.

    I really think that trying to put in a chainsaw instead of a keyblade won't attract as many fans like they are doing right now.

    Chainsaws = Cool...?

    At least with the key they made sense of it so you actually begin to respect the use of a key as your primary weapon, but I don't particularly see how a chainsaw would fit in the current storyline..

    Maybe the chainsaw would have the power to chop up Kingdom Hearts and scatter it across the winds. um... I really don't think that the company would even approve of that.

    What would KH be without Disney? It'd be Final Fantasy.

    Chainsaws= Ripping open holes in space/time/spacetime.

    Eh? Eh? Maybe what they thought?
