Let’s take the Final Fantasy characters out, shall we?
Again, it’s not that we don’t love them, but their inclusion has to have a delaying impact on the cost, negotiations and profit shar🐟ing of the Kingdom Hearts series. It wouldn’t surprise us if Square had been including Cloud and Co for a song in 2002, but that was before they started spinning them off like crazy.

Disney and Square may have just renewed their business relationship on the publishing end, but once you factor in the announcement-to-release window of a modern Square-Enix game... Final Fantasy XIII was announced in 2006, and the soonest America will ever see it is 2010. Additionally, d༒evelopment of FFXIII and its numerous spinoffs should keep KH overseer, Tetsuya Nomura, plenty busy in the meantime.
