Tidus: A simpler version of his FFX design. He was the first FF character I drew, and I was relieved when he came out looking nice as a chibi like this. Selphie: I planned to give her a different outfit from her FFVIII one, but once her model was complete and I compared them, it was basically the same. My mistake... Wakka: I actually planned to have Irvine from FFVIII play this role, but no matter how many times I tried to draw him, I couldn't make him fit the island theme, and ended up going with Wakka instead. I drew this right before the deadline. Leon: This is the first FF character we decided to have cameo. In the Kingdom Hearts universe, the FF characters aren't from the exact same settings, and are more like parallel universe versions. However, we put things in that people who know the original FF game will understand as they play, such as the wing designs on his back and his long hair. There are several reasons he doesn't go by the name Squall, but.. that's for another time, sorry. Cid: A refined Cid from FFVII. Did go too far? It's a rather mismatched design, and was sure Disney wouldn't go with something like this, but I did it anyway. Yuffie: This has a complicated story behind it.. In the early stages, I had planned for this role to be played by Rikku from FFX. However, something happened and we had to quickly shuffle Yuffie, who originally had a different role, into this one. In the end, Yuffie's original role was cut due to time constraints. Because of these circumstances, we designed her body to suit either role. Cloud: The protagonist of FFVII, and a character I have a strong attachment to. The single wing that appears when he uses the power of darkness is a homage to his eternal rival Sephiroth. One answer for the scene during the credits with Aerith is that it is possible because this is a parallel universe, or so think. By the way, the Kingdom Hearts versions of the FF characters are copyrighted by Square Enix. Fans, don't worry. Aerith: At the time of FFVII, her expression wasn't the one intended. I asked them to change it to the correct one, but I was too late. This role was planned to be played by Aya from Parasite Eve until halfway through, but due to requests from staff who had worked on FFVII, Aerith was made to appear. Her story with Cloud grew from there. The developments in characters' stories sometimes do come from exchanges like this. Moogle: I'd drawn these so many times before, but due to the extreme reduction of lines this time, I think I was finally able to draw my own ideal Moogle. I think the nose is the highlight...

This is the ideal Moogle body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Every time I look at a Moogle with a big nose I think of the Olimar post
