Suggestion: Kingdom Hearts collaboration

they've outright said the PSO2xFFXIV thing was going to be one-sided. we'll never see that stuff in Eorzea.

It seems to be if Yoshida has an in with someone in these collaborations. Monster Hunter and Yo-kai, he's friends with the director (MH) and creator (Yo-kai). FFXIV hired the person who created GARO to work on Ivalice bosses and paired it with the franchise for PvP gear.

That's interesting. Thanks for pointing that out if it is true. I wonder what his ties are with his far colleagues at Kingdom Hearts division.

If we got a crossover, I'd highly expect it to only involve the game's unique elements, and no actual Disney characters.

A possible snagging point is, I remember reading some time ago that Disney owns Sora while SE owns the other original characters. So including him would possibly require an extra layer of approval.

On a random but somewhat related note, has anyone else noticed that Haurchefant looks kind of like Riku?

Yes please.

Give me Oathkeeper as a RDM rapier please xD

They're not going to do a Kingdom Hearts crossover in FFXIV. If you put Capcom, Yokai, Garo, and Sega together, they'd still be a speck compared to Disney, and no company in its right mind wants Disney calling the shots on its core product.

The death of Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite is a pretty good example of Marvel making impossible demands and creating design limitations that doomed Capcom to failure, and Marvel is just one tiny part of Disney's golem.

Yeah instead we get to see yokai watch and monster hunter. Exactly what we needed.

We didn't even get a Final Fantasy 15 crossover. I sadly doubt that we'll see a KH crossover. It seems like SE would rather promote other people's games with XIV. The only connection to their other titles is how XIV helps pay for them.

Any of the promotional or marketing events have relied on specifically the MMO Division having good relationships with the third parties e.g. Yo-Kai watch and Monster Hunter.
I reasonably think we might get an internal licence next e.g. Front Mission or Tomb Raider

If Square Enix had better corporate management I might have had my silverballers from Hitman on my Machinist :P :'(

I remembered this post after seeing the announcement
