Sora's Original Design?

[rowd149]

Well, uh, I know the rumors of how Mickey was supposed to be the original main char in KH1, but I also heard another interesting rumor: that Sora's original design(when he was decided on) was that of an anthro lion, and that it was supported by some concept art(you can find it at kh2.co.uk, cuz I'm not gonna direct link 'em. Bad etiquette, ya know? =P). Does anyone know if there's anything to this rumor?

 

[rowd149]

Come on, seriously? No one has anything to say?

 

[Larxie]

*coughs* If Mickey were ever to be the main character, I might never have bought KH in the first place.

Yeah, I've heard about the rumour regarding Sora's original design. I don't like it. Sora looks more like a monkey than a lion. It reminded me of Zidane of FFIX.

 

[Puck]

Yeah, those were rumors are true. Sora was originally going to be a half human/half lion character. He looked like a young Ronso. I am glad they made him human though.

 

[ffkh]

yeah i think sora as a human was much better

cmon people can you really imagine playing as a half lion half human
i cring when i imagine what riku would have been..........or kairi...(shiver)

 

[Puck]

What if Kairi was a half fox/half human and Riku was a half eagle/half human. Okay, that would be really weird.

 

[Oblivion wielder]

Yeah,that WAS weird and random...Sora looks stupid and ugly in that design.

 

[Zero2000]

Yeah, i wouldnt have got them game either if Mickey was main character

 

[Cool man]

Well... you still see hints of Mickey in Sora's KH1 design. Yellow shoes, white gloves, red pants...

 

[.:Mega:.]

Personally, I doubt Mickey was meant to be the main character, as there is no concept art showing such an idea. Rather, I think Sora's final design was meant to refference Mickey, but that's it. Anyway, the lion thingy design is... odd. I'm kinda glad he's the way we know 'im. Also, looking at other concept art, I saw Rikku. w00t. -shot-

[Euphoria]

Oh yes, I remember the "Sora Lion" design.

o-o;

I personally, liked it. I remember seeing it on Naimoka a long time ago. I think the game would have been interesting with him as a half "lion" creature. The game is half Disney, I wasn't surprised they would make a design like that.

 

[Desert Jesus]

The character that Sora'a outfit was based off of was from a completely different SE game... Well, actually, it could have just been a trashed concept for a character in another game, I dunno. But the character looked like a friggin midget.

 

[Souretsu Gear]

Well, they were trying to make it original yet, something disney related. I like this concept sketch but he looks like a midget:

Probably the Previous soras were based off of Squall. It would be cool if you could fight these guys and their name wasn't sora.

 

[Henskie]

yea that would be cool. I wouldnt have gotten the game if the mainb character was micky because then it would have just been another micky's adventure game

 

[Crona Tronic]

I wouldnt have gotten the game if the mainb character was micky because then it would have just been another micky's adventure game

exactly.... also, if the main character would've been that lion thing it would've been... not as good lol just my opinion though!


... *cough* wouldn't have bought it *cough*

 

[LinkSlySora]

Sora doesn't look that bad as a half human/lion. It would have made the game different though.

 

[Souretsu Gear]

Yeah, actually, it would make sense because donald is a duck, goofy is a dog, and Sora is mostlikely a lion because lions are brave, stubborn and probably lazy.

 

[BlaZinbritt11588]

hmm...sora's lion-like design reminds me of Jak from Jak & Daxter. it terrible. i'm glad they changed it.

 

[Rikku]

yeah it was ment to be mickey, but if you had to play as mickey I wouldn't play the game!....<.<

 

[Reagan Rayden]

Sora's lion design looked...ok. The storyline might've been changed though.

(Although if he had his original design as a lion, I wonder what he would've looked like in the Pride Lands)
