I never knew this bothered people so much. Now it will bug me for life if any character looks taller or shorter than they should. I noticed Sora got taller, as well as Namine. With Namine it was very noticeable I thought though.
Not only with Namine, but Kairi as well. Considering that girls generally don't grow as fast as boys at this age they both had some freakish growth spurts in only one year. Especially when you consider that both Kairi and Namine were shorter than Sora, they're almost, or about, caught up to him now.
That picture isn't a real good comparison though, as firstly they stand on a sloping path there with Cloud standing on the higher end, secondly of course Cloud's hair (remove the spikes and they're about even head-wise) and thirdly their battle stances, Leon bends forward a bit in his battle stance (and has his head also bent a bit forward because he's looking at the Heartless coming at him from further down the sloping path) while Cloud stands upright, this is also noticeable by the different points their shoulders are located.
Looking at models, Leon and Cloud seem to be roughly at the same height, which would work if Leon in KH is situated at the lower end of his "spectrum" with 5'8 while Cloud is 5'7:
This gif also shows that, when Leon gets to stand "upright" as well he's as tall as Cloud, and with Cloud standing on a higher point of the sloping path they are on, this means Leon is actually taller than Cloud.
Google doesn't love me enough to give me other Leon/Cloud pictures for comparison that aren't yaoi. The first picture of Leon and Cloud at OC is probably the best for their height comparison since they're side by side and on even ground. I'm kind of iffy on the gif though because the angle dictates that Leon would look taller since he's in the foreground/slightly closer to the "camera" while Could is in the background/further from the "camera".

(I can't believe I actually wrote this much about the height of fictional characters...)
Welcome to the forums during the news drought were no topic is too inane~
I will be adding to the pedantry in due time.
*claps at Sephiroth's height comparison*
It's kinda funny that this bothers us so much.
Does anyone have a height comparison chart of all the characters? I found one of Org. XIII.
I blame the uncanny valley.
