Current Events > Auron's cameo in KH2 is the best.

(+) Yeah! (+)

I didn't fully get it until I actually played FFX. That's a really neat way to bring him in.

Yeah, I only played ffx like a few years ago so his cameo was lost on me until then. But he's real cool, for sure.

Tho I personally like the TWEWY cameos the best so far.

It's about the only good use of FF properties besides the Moogles.

No, my beloved showing up is.

Agreed, Auron showed that they still had a grasp on how to handle the FF aspect of the formula.

Pity that Setzer was on the opposite end of that spectrum.

Really? If anything I thought Auron's cameo was really underutilized and kind of a waste in KH 2, much as I love him. What about playing FF 10 made you think that was a nice way to introduce Auron by the by?

Yeah I'm a little bummed because it sounds like they aren't bringing back the Final Fantasy characters in Kingdom Hearts 3.

Becuase he's an Unsent who Hades pulled out of the Underworld, so his KH arc actually ties into his FFX arc. Prior to this, the closest tie to their source material that the FF characters had was that Tidus and Wakka...um, spent some time on a beach in their game?

I honestly think that Nomura would ditch the Disney angle too if he thought he could get away with it.

This is so weird to me, like theyre really not even gonna bring back Squall and Yuffie, who clearly were connected to Sora and the gang? Or not even the classic Cloud/Sephiroth stuff?

I never played it but I did play FFX, but what was his cameo?

Yeah I hope we are wrong but from trailers and everything else I've heard they haven't been seen yet.

They apparently said that the series doesn't really need Final Fantasy characters anymore and stands on own, which while true doesnt mean they shouldn't be there.

I picked up the series in the first place in 2002 because of the Final Fantasy aspect and I loved the series but it would be a shame for them to totally drop that aspect.

Ah you mean the fact that he's already dead... yeah I guess that is the closest to being tied to their character in the actual final fantasy game they're from.

It's not even just that he's already dead, it's heavily implied to happen after the events of FFX, with Hades pulling his soul from the underworld.

All the other FF characters are pretty clearly not the same characters as in the FF games as they're all from Radiant Garden. Auron is the same Auron.

I mean, they weren't gonna deage auron like they did with tidus and wakka because Auron's whole appeal is his bushido samurai vibe, so it would make sense that they left him as is without alterations. I don't know if that necessarily means it's after the events of ff 10. Though when Sora and co pick up his voodoo doll there were these voices that may have been lines from the game, though it's been way too long for me to remember.

Even though FF 7's heyday is long since over, it's weird to think that maybe they won't bring back Sephiroth who has been kind of a tradition boss at this point. But will all the crap KH has, maybe there's just no more room for final fantasy anymore. After all, the ff series had already all but ended when kh 2 came out (what with 12 being the last game in the series, released that same year)

So it's not that surprising that the ff part of the series is gone. Heck the Disney part was already fading with all that stupid shit nomura poured into the story. I thought bbs was bad with the annoying new characters that were made the crux of the plot but ddd's time travel and xehanort bs made it seem actually good by comparison smh.

I'm sure Final Fantasy characters will still be in KH3
