I give up at Sora being a Square owed character. Maybe Disney did evuily by his soul, but that doesn't mattter. He could still be in Brawl. In fact, I feel that Disney would allow him to be in Brawl before SSquare-Enix would

ANd amazing how you ignore the offical site I linked you too? Beunavista doesn't lie seeing how They're an offical company with affiliation with Disney, lieing = Sued. =\ Please think things out.Black/Light said:^ Well, Aiser, for one, you always need more then ONE official site cited. 2, your official site cited sounded short and it just seemed like they just slapped the Disney name on it like Hyper-Link said. 3, All Im asking is for 3-5 OFFICIAL sites cited. . . If it's a greatly known fact then there should be more officical sites on it. And lastly, just because you can't find the number that Im asking for does not give you the right to tell my to do anything. You cant find it then too bad for you. . . DON'T TELL ME TO STOP ASKING.
This is from a friend who's major is character design much like what Soras creator is. She knows what she's talking about..=\artsy friend said:I wasn't going to get involved in this but you people are royally pissing me off. First off, if its on an official site, its OFFICIAL, you nit.
Stop with your **** whining for citations, this isn't a high school english paper.
Secondly, Disney Interactive owns the rights to Sora, Riku, and Kairi, as well as other Kingdom hearts characters. If you really want proof of this, why don't you read the back of your Kingdom hearts game case? Disney is a corporate *****, and I can say this because unlike probably 99.9 percent of you, I (not aesir, I'm his friend who doesn't feel the need to have an account on this forum) am actually IN the industry and actually know about copyright issues and all of that fun stuff, as I've been in college for it and so on and so forth.
You see, there is this terrible thing...that happens to us as animators and character designers. Though we may be doing something we love, we are in truth having our souls stripped away from us. For example, I'll use Nightmare Before christmas. Tim burton was a good man. What's this?! DISNEY OWNS THE RIGHTS TO IT?! Why is this? It certainly doesn't seem like a Disney film!! How could this BE!?
Simple. Tim Burton was under contract with Disney during the time he began working on Nightmare Before christmas. Since he worked on it during the time of the contract, when it was finished Disney said 'Well you were on contract wiht us, so technincally, anything you make while on that contract belongs to us." Thus disney profitted from his heart's labor.
Its the same with the characters made especially for Kingdom Hearts. Since Disney and Square were partnered on this project, combining their two genres, a linking genre of characters had to be made to fit the game. This is where Sora, Riku, Kairi, and so on come into the picture. The character designer indeed did character designs for squaresoft, however, they were contracted by Disney, so therefore, Disney owns the rights to those characters.
It doesn't matter if they look like something else, or whatever. A contract is a contract.
Now if you people had actually done your research you wouldn't be sitting there saying LOLZ LINK ME TO MORE THAN THREE SITEZ LOLZ. You'd know right off the bat. So maybe before you start bickering about sources, you'll stop being lazy and go do a little research yourselves.
Nin is NOT, I repeat NOT the Disney of gaming. Disney puts up a cutesy front, but really are the Microsoft of movies, entertainment, and themeparks. I have a friend who worked for Disney who now can no longer go there AT ALL. They literally sprinkle fairy dust on the costume actors at the start of each day. I've heard people who've had that job describe working for Disney as the closest thing to being in a cult. Okay, rant over.Hyper-Link said:This is still what gets me

The all rights reserved and characters from Final fantasy...... Even is Disney did own property rights for Kingdom hearts(Which they don't), individual characters can still be liscensed through loopholes and whatnot.
And besides, Disney themselves said Nintendo is like the Disney of Video games, they've been around longer than everyone, they have many beloved household names, and they make family oriented games
If you go a few pages back you'll see the site, one sec. Also can you point out what she's wrong about? because she tends to know what she's talking about 99% of the time about this stuff.I posted the copyright thing a few pages back, which contradicts what Aiser's friend says, but as for everything else she says, she makes very good points. (But I can't get onto Buena Vista, unfortunately.) With Disney's pirateer methods, I wouldn't be surprised if they have some sort of stranglehold or lock on the rights, and just because the artist who created the char designs works for SE, that proves nothing unless you can show me his entire contract with SE (but that doesn't mean I'm asking for proof). And Hyper-Link, if Disney owns Sora, they're going to ask for Miyamoto's and Iwata's firstborns before they'll let Sora be in SSBB without ridiculously massive royalty payments. I also can't think of any reason Disney would want Sora in SSBB, because I don't see how they'd benefit.
You're niave high school meansnothing in life, nothing at all.black/light said:All Im asking is that you, the person saying that YOU KNOW hes Disney, show me more then 1 example of proof. Tell your friend that I know this isn't highschool (So happy Im out!!) but the rules still apply. More then one cited source is ALLWAYS needed to state something as fact.
Aiser said:You're niave high school meansnothing in life, nothing at all.
I've asked you numerious times for anything at all that proves your point but you hide behind the same thing "I need to 3-5 sources" Guess what? you're not in high school anymroe get over it. I show you again.
http://buenavistagames.go.com/product/kingdomHeartsPS2.html Buena vista says I'm right, an offical company. Please just accept it because right now you're really looking like a fool.
I spicifically made aprint screeen showing you this..=xblaksheap82 said:I never said Sora and the like are FF chars, that was somebody else. My point, which I seem to be the only one trying to make it, is that the copyright does not specifically state that Disney owns Sora. They can own KH without owning Sora. Nin will own SSBB without owning Snake. Like I said, I'm not trying to prove Sora's owned by either party, so don't jump down my browser's throat. I'm just saying that nothing has been found yet that says Sora specifically is owned by Disney (except maybe the Buena Vista site, which I can't access, unfortunately). I'm not playing the ignorance card, I'm playing the nitpicker's card .
Lol it was more then just a copyright tag, an offical site said the characters belonged to Disney.Man,this is a very,very sad topic.
Why are people being so diplimatic on the subject?? be more positive and atleast try to point out why that he would be a prime choice beyond the finantual skirmishes.
Even though his chances are very slim, would still love to have him in the game.
Even though ths topic has been tagged with copyright tags,but we really don't know that much in between the ownership of hence specific character.Maybe someone should send an E-mail to Square-Enix asking about the rights like McFox did about Geno.Copyright tags can be easily slaped on pictures with ease,but we need to know once and for all.
know people are gonna call me an idiot for not accepting the fact due to the evidence,but hey,none of use were on the contract.
Because he sticks to the traditional Nintendo Catch Phrase "Screw the fans outside of Japan"SamuraiPanda said:When Sakurai redesigned Pit, he said that he kept in mind what is "popular" today but he meant popular in the Japanese perspective. Pit looks like he could be out of a Final Fantasy game (kinda), because the whole "young teen" look is the rage in Japan. So this establishes that Sakurai DOES keep in mind what is popular, but mostly in a Japanese perspective.
Not to mention the main titles of the gameLol it was more then just a copyright tag, an offical site said the characters belonged to Disney.
Except that's for PS2http://kh2.co.uk/assets/fm/fmscan.jpg
all sora haters can shut the hell up now.look to the left and see what system it is on
