Instead of the Keyblade, the first weapon proposed for the title was a chainsaw.
He compromised with the two by proposing a game featuring a vast cast of Disney characters, with no single character being the focal point of the title. In an interview with popular Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu, Tetsuya Nomura, creator of the franchise, mentioned that it started by him getting in between requests from Square, who wanted a game with Mickey Mouse as the main character, and Disney, who was looking to create a game based on Donald Duck. The third numbered entry in the series, Kingdom Hearts III, was announced to be in development for the PS4 and Xbox One at E3 2013. The critical and commercial success of the first game has helped the franchise grow to see a spin-off for the GBA named Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and a proper sequel, aptly named Kingdom Hearts II.įour side stories for the PSP, Nintendo DS, mobile phones, and Nintendo 3DS have been released named Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, Re:coded, 3D: Dream Drop Distance respectively. The puzzling partnership of Square Enix, who is known for their rather serious and story intensive games, and Disney, who is famous for their numerous children’s movies and cartoons stunned many people and led to doubts about how compatible the characters would be.Īll doubts were cleared however when the first game in the series launched in 2002 and was widely received as an excellent story and a great action RPG. The series was first announced at 2001’s E3, the project was presented as a fusion of Final Fantasy art style and storytelling elements combined with Disney’s most famous characters and movies.
The Kingdom Hearts franchise is the product of studio cooperation between Final Fantasy producer Square Enix (formerly Squaresoft), and Disney Interactive Studios.
