Reminds me that he's not in the current Dissidia and I'm still mad about that!What happened with Laguna sounds just like what happened with Mickey Mouse in KH1, so maybe it is something that Square Enix feels funny about (but now they're throwing the same characters into a million mobile games. If it nets money...)
Dissidia needs more dads.
I feel if it was from him being salty then I don't think he would have models made in the first place, but this would make sense why the team was apparently mad at him if their removal was from him being pissy.Indeed, yet it could also have just been Nomura being salty at FF in general and wanting his pseudo-FF Verum Rex being the only FF-esque characters present in the whole game.
Apart from the whole Ux-stuff and the new saga being now the stuff Nomura's most excited for, Yozora seems to be also high on his personal priority and favorites list.
With Verum Rex, I know a lot of people just take is as Nomura being salty, but for all we know he might have been planning to use Versus XIII in KH this whole time. We'll probably never know the whole picture, sadly.
^This. Phil also had no reason with being in Olympus and yet time was spent on making and shoving him in.The whole "too crowded" explanation falls flat on its face anyways as they even bothered to include Aeleus and Dilan, despite them never saying a word and only walking/standing around uselessly throughout the whole story.
The worst part of the Restoration Committee's exclusion is how they're not acknowledged at all. Cloud, Auron, and stupid Seifer are mentioned in one way or another, but it was apparently too hard to have Sora ask Ienzo about them.
That still bugs me. How they seemed genuinely surprised by it. The FF cameos has always been one of the top things fans yell about, so hearing them say otherwise is just...off. I mean, maybe they really didn't know, but it's something rather difficult to avoid.Maybe Nomura just wants to replace all already known FF cameos with KH original characters completely in the long run anyways, considering how nonchalantly both Yasue and him approach the issue, not to mention the high surprise of fans mentioning this issue so often seems genuine on their part.
Fans just want KH to be a never-ending Spider-Man pointing at Spider-Man meme.That’s true, but I think it still aggravates the issue rather than soothe. Fans never stopped wanting Reno despite Nomura making Axel. Instead, they all wanted to see Reno and Axel interact back in the mid-2000s.
Or like now people don’t feel like their Noctis itch has been scratched with Yozora. Now I think people want to see Yozora, Riku, Noctis, and Sora all in the same room to see what happens haha
The first game was billed as a collaboration between Disney and FF properties and for the third installment - meant to 'cap-off' what the first one started - to not acknowledge its roots is more than a bit jarring/odd. And from a storytelling perspective, the FF-crew in RG purportedly mean a lot to Sora and his development as a protagonist. It feels off not to have gotten to see them this time around. I don't even play FF but I felt the absence and missed the spontaneity of seeing how these characters would be incorporated.
