Haven't watched Disney in maybe 15 years so need a refresher.
Also do they spoil ff9 and 10 at all? I've played 4, 7 and 8.

The third Kingdom Hearts game sort of alludes to a major spoiler in that game, yes.

I have minimal Disney knowledge and it certainly didn't affect my understanding of the KH games' story. Some of the FF stuff definitely makes more sense if you have knowledge of those games though.

That's actually the first I've heard of this but its also not surprising.

Okay I guess I will play through 9 and 10 first then.
After Googling a bit, kind of bizarre that Disney's main mascot doesn't even have much for movies. A minor scene in Fantasia and Who Framed Roger Rabbit....really?
Honestly how does a person even get to know Mickey Mouse as a character

I was actually talking about Kingdom Hearts II, which was released after I and Chain of Memories.

I remember asking this same exact question about Final Fantasy characters 15 years ago and getting modded for being "off topic".

Honestly for Disney, though, I really don't think you actually need prior knowledge of any of the properties. The situations where it matters are just truncated retellings of the original stories, and anything else is just minor flavor added on the side that doesn't matter.

Personally, I'm annoyed that games like KH and Disney Dreamlight Valley mainly cater to Millennials. A lot of the focus gets put on stuff from the Renaissance period and later (basically, starting from Little Mermaid), and there's a heavy influence from Pixar now. When they include older stuff at all, it usually ties into "timeless" older stuff like Snow White or Cinderella.

I want to see KH worlds that include Herbie the Love Bug, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Robin Hood, and Lady and the Tramp. Put The Cat from Outer Space or Maximilian from The Black Hole in Dreamlight Valley. That's MY Disney childhood, damn it!

Beast's Castle is new, although the Beast himself appeared prior

I probably like DDD more than most and part of the reason is that some of the world picks were kinda out there like Fantasia and Country of the Musketeers

Mickey and the others started out in shorts and pretty much stayed there even as Disney branched to movies. Occasionally they get smaller movies like that Three Musketeers movie, but nowadays Disney prefers to keep them in shows.

I feel like in a lot of ways, Mickey is like Mario in that they are ubiquitous characters posing as the headpiece of their brands, used to fill any and all roles. Goofy and Luigi are similar, but get their own side series (Goofy Movie/Goof Troop/Luigi's Mansion). Donald would also probably qualify for that as well with him in Ducktales.
