Kingdom Hearts-Final Fantasy?

-_- Final Fantasy VII will always be overrated no matter what. However, there are only 8 FFVII characters in Kingdom Hearts.

 

The Final Fantasy X game is as popular but other than that, I guess they want to throw in Final Fantasy VII so that the players can have fun battling Sephiroth. Otherwise, Enix would think that the series will not be as fun.

 

Personally I understand why there is more FF7 characters in KH than other FF games,

1. KH game came out around the same time that FF7 was marked as a must play FF game.
2. Another reason to milk the series? look at FF7 they had a movie, and a prequel, they just did so much with FF7, and no wonder why people are mad that they haven't made a FF7 remake.
But seriously I thought it was the worst FF game to date.

 

lol it is, I tried playing through the game, but I had to force my way to beat it. That's not good when you have to force your self to beat a game. I wish they would give us more FF8, 9, 10 or even 12 FF characters in this game, or better yet, give us Cecil from FFIV.

 

I had to force myself to read a book once because I didn't want to feel like I wasted my money, but that's beside the point xD

Anyways, I didn't find Final Fantasy 7 to be that bad of a game. Sometimes I find that it is overhyped, but considering what year the game was made in it's actually pretty decent. Honestly, there probably wasn't much else RPG-wise out on the market at that time, so it gained several loyal die hard fans; And as Kitty stated, it would be crazy for Square Enix to not cash in on the Final Fantasy 7 franchise when there are so many people who like the game.

Now, when it comes to which Final Fantasy characters are chosen for KH games, I think they should leave the FF7 characters in there, however, it would be nice to see more of other ones as well. Cecil's probably one of the only ones I would fight for since he is my all time favourite character, but I really don't understand why they haven't emphasized more on FF X characters because it's very popular like VII. I mean really, Tidus and Wakka played almost useless roles on Destiny's Island and the only appearance of Yuna was in KH II, but it was X-2 Yuna >_< (I liked her FF X self more.)

But getting back on track here, it's cool that they choose to use FF VII characters because it helps branch the game out to more people, however, I'd like to see other FF characters in future installments too.

 

Well I had to force my self to beat KH2 in away, cause of the story and the fact that Sora was a wuss. There where to many wtf moments in that game. Not saying the game was bad, just saying that the story was kind of poor, it didn't feel what KH1 felt (Original). But I seriously think they should add more FF characters to KH, and like what you wrote Napoleon, but you have to understand it isn't up to Nomura its up to Disney to add those characters. So maybe that's another reason to why we can't get certain FF characters in KH. They pick the characters that they think will do well.

 

I'm a KH I fan too, but I did like the Organization XIII members in KH II.

Why is it up to Disney to add those characters ? I thought it was up to the developers of KH apart of the Square Enix team itself that got to choose which FF characters are chosen for the KH series. But I don't see how some Final Fantasy characters wouldn't fit "Disney" standards because there is a large enough variety of movies produced under Disney that have people with bad habits in them.

The main reason why I believe some FF characters are overlooked is because the game installment they were apart of wasn't as popular or 'mainstream' as other Final Fantasy games. I'd love to see Cecil in the games, but how realistic is it honestly ? FF IV was never an extremely popular one and I don't think a big enough crowd have played that particular game to make the KH team want to put one of it's characters in there. Now, when most people hear Final Fantasy, what comes to mind if VI (which is a legend and should have some more characters in Kingdom Hearts), VII, VIII, X and even XIII. I bolded the ones who are even known by people who don't play Final Fantasy games. I have friends who have never touched Final Fantasy games, but they know who Cloud, Squall and Auron are because they're just that mainstream. I find it's great how Kingdom Hearts has these well known FF characters, but it would be nice to see some from other games like VI, IV or even IX.

 

I thought I read somewhere in a interview that it was up to Disney to adding FF characters in KH, like they choose the best ones that will get peoples attention. But I guess I agree with Kitty and say they pick the ones that people are familiar with, and the ones that they think will do the best. I also think it has to do with the story also.

 

it is sad, but I think I also understand why, It's because Nomura chooses the Final Fantasy characters that he thinks will fit with the KH game.

 

I would love to the the Knight from the 1st FF in the next game, i dont know how'd they would do it but i would love to see that. I agree that they put some FF people because it addes to the popularity of KH itself and when you add Disney plus FF in one game with some awesome new characters? You have to add all of the mainstreams. Hopefully we see some older characters
