Square and Disney Team Up for Kingdom Hearts

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the goofy-versus-tidus dept.

jaredcat writes "Ever wonder what would happen if the incredibly creative talents of Squaresoft and Disney got together? Well I never did, but that didn't seem to stop them. The first joint production of Square and Disney, Kingdom Hearts, was just released in Japan. Its an RPG with a Square CGI, a Square story, a Disney sense of humor, and Square and Disney charectars. If the opening movie is any indication of what's to come when Kingdom Hearts becomes available in the US, its going to be the best thing to hit the PS2 since, well, Final Fantasy X :)." Very positive review. Gotta admit, I'm intrigued. Update by J : Check out this review too, with a ton of screenshots, from the GIA: "By all rights [it] should be an awkward, conflated mess... instead, it's an epic piece of crossover fanfiction."

  1. Yay Disney! CBDTPA!!! by evilpaul13 · · Score: 2, Redundant

    I love it how people piss and moan about the DMCA/SSSCA/CBDTPA and then howl with delight and help subsidize it when something neat looking comes along. Grow a backbone and vote with your feet people! Don't buy CDs from the maggots in the RIAA, and don't buy DVDs and Disney games from the scum in the MPAA/Disney.

    Oh, but I'm a troll no doubt for not gobbling up everything those enemies of freedom toss to me.

    ...to count and publicize the wonders and qualities of Disney. Meanwhile, they are one of the most powerful members of a consortium that's working hard to eliminate freedoms enjoy most by the type of readers that consume Slashdot.

    Way to go guys. Not only are most religious and polotical leaders hypocrites, but so is a huge group of the geek archtype.

    Disney has also teamed up with another gaming company (T&E Soft). But this one isnt turing out as good as the Square relationship. The SEC is investing the company who got involved in this big mess. Check it out here.

    Haha! This is just an early April Fools joke (early for US timezones, but not for the Japanese game sites where this originated). They took promo shots from the unreleased Final Fantasy XI, and used Photoshop to mix them with characters and backdrops from Disney 3D Creations. I can't believe how many people have fallen for this already. Good job, guys.
