Kingdom Hearts Collab

[AmpelioB]

Q7: Years ago you mentioned that there's a huge hurdle to get past when collaborating with KINGDOM HEARTS series, so is this still a possibility? Of course I'd be fine with just the characters from Square Enix side, and I am aware that the other side needs to approve when it comes to costumes and weapons and so on. How about it, am I right in assuming so?

YoshiP: Yep, it is as you said. I mean I don't really want a collab with just costumes as reward. When it comes to Kingdom Hearts, definitely it'll involve something like the characters, story and lore of that series and we would like to connect our world with their world as well. In other words, a crossover is something I want to do here, but when it comes to this it becomes something where I cannot say anything about it (nor I can promise anything), so if I don't do something like increasing 5% of player's sub fee this definitely won't be a reality but for now this isn't...possible. Yeah.
You think of it as something easy, but I gotta tell you that the business world isn't kind when you're dealing with a huge company situated in North America, the one that is dominating the entertainment industry around the world. And you take things lightly you're going to get told that you're some really ignorant fella who knows nothing about that world. Yeah.

So what are your guys views on this topic? I personally think it's doable by 7.0 if they pitch in Tetsuya Nomura to help, since he already worked a bit with creation of Gaia for Eden's Raid

I hate KHs but I know others will enjoy it so I'm sure they are stoked.

I would love that, give me a keyblade for my gunbreaker and i'd never change weapon again.

Just hoping it wouldn't be an alliance raids, but something like the monster hunter or FFXV collab. A couple of short quests, FATES and a boss battle.

I'm all for more cool stuff, as long as it doesn't eat a big chunk of content like the Nier crossover. Indifferent to KH itself, I never even finished the first game and I've made little effort to keep up with it since then.

If they're going to do a crossover with another SE game I'd much rather see a Chrono Trigger/Cross collab, especially for an alliance raid series.

I'd love to have a collab or crossover with KH, but Disney wears the pants in that relationship, and they would never make this sort of thing easy.

That dumb....I love it.

I will unsub the second I see Mickey Mouse or Sora in this game.

If my monk can fist them in the face...I'm all in.

Okay, you do make a good point. Their may be barely tolerable if I am allowed to put them six feet under. Or, y'know, at least beat them like they owe me money.
