Kingdom Hearts event crossover!?

[BillyKaplan]

You may be right – but I still question why you would want Disney characters in FFXIV in the first place. If you take them out of the equation you're left with FF characters and Sora (and the other generic clones of him that make up the roster).

Sora, Riku and Kairi are more than enough to hold an event together. The Yokai event had the one NPC aside from the Yokai themselves which were more the awards than people.

Also KH is basically a cartoon – how would that translate to ffxiv?

How much KH have you played? KH is only as much a cartoon as the world they go to, with things like the old Steamboat Willie world being one of the extreme examples. That's literally one of the rules of their lore (how well they keep to it is a different matter...). Sora, Riku and Kairi are SE characters and as such can fit quite well with FFXIV's current rendering engine. There're haircuts similar to Sora's and Riku's in the game already and Kairi's is actually kind of simple for a would be main chara like her.

The story premise basically writes itself, on top of it all - either Heartless have reached Eorzea, or Nobodies would like to turn the WoL into one of their own, being obviously strong-hearted and thus would produce a Nobody when turned into a Heartless. Whoever charas partake in the event got here to stop this. Gummi ship mount as the final award once you get all the weapons, ties it all up with a neat ribbon. Boom.
The one thing I'd rather die before seeing is Pete associating with the Ascians. That's my line in the sand.
