You people that know your contests. We all know that FF cast got a massive boost when KH 1 came.
But why the same didn't happened with KH 2 release?

There's multiple reasons or theories as to why. The fact that KH2 was a sequel, and thus didn't diversify the Final Fantasy fanbase in the same way the original did. There's also the fact that 2006 was the year of Wii hype, specifically with Twilight Princess incoming. People were more excited for new Zelda with a Link more resembling the Ocarina of Time Adult Link as opposed to Toon Link. And of course, there was the announcement of Brawl, and the inclusion of Snake.

Meanwhile, Kingdom Hearts came out during a very weird period in Nintendo's history, where Link was cel-shaded and sailing for Triforce pieces, and Mario was wielding a water gun. History is kinder to this period now, but back then, the fanbase at large was still digesting a lot of these changes and it was favorable to the Square contingent.
