I don't believe the whole different-character-designer excuse is a valid one. Lemme put it plain and simple:
Look at Donald's wands. The Mage's Staff, Magus Staff, and Wisdom Staff all have classic Black Mage hats on them. If they really couldn't use any of Amano's creations in this game, they wouldn't be able to use those Black Mage hats- or Moogles and Chocobos. So I just think they didn't think FFIX didn't fit the whole KH feel as much as the others did.
I dunno- but it just doesn't makes sense why they'd put Black Mage hats on Donald's wands if they couldn't use Amano's character designs for Vivi...
Using pointy hats on wands is completely different than using characters of a completely different style. If they were to put the FFIX characters in they'd have to change the designs to fit. The style Amano used is so different that it wouldn't work and they'd forsake the style of FFIX.
I dunno. I don't think that stylistic difference thing would hold up either. Squall and Cloud got significantly redesigned for the game, so if you just change around Zidane's clothes a little, he'd fit right in. Also, Nomura has ALWAYS used Chocobo (which weren't actually in KH) in FF designs, and Moogles did get into FFVII.
You're all wondering why FFIX characters weren't in KH, but I'm still stuck on why they decided to fuse Cloud and Vincent (in terms of clothing). It just doesn't make any sense. The only reason I can think of is that they just felt like it.
I'd also like to know why they decided not to have Bahamut as a summon. That would've been frickin' sweet! (if you use a cheat device, you can unlock the option, but it'll freeze the game when chosen)
:shoot:
Well, it does give Cloud a cool wanderer/refugee look, as if he's been traveling for a good while, fighting to survive. But what was with the arm thing? That was a little funky...
That's part of Vincent. He wears that claw in FFVII. Then there's the bandages around Cloud's Braver. Those weren't there before, nor were they any part of Vincent. There were those mummy things outside of where Vincent's coffin was (random battles), but that makes even less sense. I'll just go with "it makes him look cool" for now, I guess.
I think it'd be kinda' nice if Zack made a appearance in KHII also, but he probably won't.
Vivi could fit in nicely, Steiner could kinda fit in.. but thats because Vivi and Steiner aren't Bobble heads
It's not an issue of being unable of using the characters.
Let's review.
Amano designed the characters from FFI-VI and IX.
Nomura designed the characters from VII, VIII, and X.
Now, the important part.
KH is Nomura's game. It's his concept, he designed the characters, he drew the storyboards, he directed the game. KH is his baby. THAT is why he only used his own FF characters in it.
And yeah, he went with different graphical styles for certain characters just for the hell of it.
yeah it wud be kool to have kuja in there...
