Rundown: rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

1. Okay, fair enough.

2. Having 70+ years of Disney canon to work with isn't really an excuse. If anything it's all the more reason to feature lots of Disney's work with all the games that Square's made. Off the top of my head I can think of Pete's Dragon, Mary Poppins, the Rocketeer, the Rescuers, the Jungle Book (which WAS going to be in BBS), Robin Hood, the Sword in the Stone, Treasure Planet, the Black Cauldron, Tailspin, Darkwing Duck, Duck Tails, Chip and Dale, Gargoyles, WITCH (which already has Hearts factor into it from the get-go), etc. Heck, Gargoyles was supposedly considered for KHIII, so it's not like the 90s cartoons are entirely off of the table.

Granted some of this isn't necessarily Disney's A-material, but it's not like everything needs an entire world dedicated to it. Square couldn't include the Lion King in the original game for technical limitations but they still were able to put Simba in as a summon, and similarly Dumbo's been a summon too (at least for two early games).

And when you get to references, that's easy mode for tipping your hat towards other things you weren't able to directly feature. What's to stop Goofy from mentioning at some appropriate point (maybe when dealing with someone who's a father) that he's got a son? What's to stop there from being an item in reference to Bombie the Zombie and Donald not being happy of getting reminded of him? References don't have to be major thing, and they could be a way to encourage players to look into Disney's more obscure IPs.

3. Also fair enough.

for the record, Disney sets the rules on what can be used and now, Square doesn't have any freedom whatsoever in that regard, including any decisions for Disney characters to cross-interact. and Disney is famously strict on this kind of thing.

Disney also has lighten up a bit since kh2 were they kept an irongirp

they're less stingy now that KH is a proven success, yeah, but they still make the final decision on everything regarding their own properties. SE has to work within their rules.

That they do but after...not a flop but the sever cricisms of KHII follow the moives plot, which had to be because of disny, instead of a fun romp they really pulled away from that and seem to be just saying what canons are usable or not.

Which is why I think Olympus has been steadily shifting from just being tourney only.

2. disney is to stop them

they've lightened up some since KH2 but disney is still very protective of their IPs
