Is there any confirmation to her being supposed to be in KH1?She was also supposed to be in KH1 at the Coliseum apparently, maybe they included a hint to her here because they knew at the time that they would be using her, regardless of how big a role. Also used as a subtle hint to her originally going to be in KH1
KH II wasn't planned at any point, IIRC.
They just had rough plans of the story while doing that KHI Secret Ending, and
I refuse to believe that they planned Tifa to be in KH II in the planning stage.
It sure just was a concept for Kairi, nothing else. Really.
