Talk:Square Enix

Disagreement regarding Sora not being a Square Enix character

Sora is a Square Enix character. The Kingdom Hearts franchise is not fully owned by Disney. The reason is that Disney needs permission from Square Enix employee Tetsuya Nomura, creator and director of the series, to get the greenlight, so technically, and ultimately, Square Enix does own Kingdom Hearts. If Sora were really a Disney character, he would be in non-Square Enix games (a Monster Hunter game, for example), where Square Enix is not given any credit or even mentioned at all, but I doubt Nomura would allow that.

Disney owns all properties related to Kingdom Hearts, Sora included. It was what Disney and Square Enix agreed to when they opted to create a new protagonist for the collaboration. -- PanchamBro (talk • contributions) 18:30, October 25, 2021 (EDT)

If you still doubt us, just look it up on Google. Almost all the results state that Sora, as well as Kingdom Hearts in general, is owned by Disney. CookiesCreme 19:42, October 25, 2021 (EDT)

In addition to what Cookies and Pancham said, if we were to give anything related to Kingdom Hearts on this Wiki the Square Enix category, then we would also have to give the company categories to any content from games that are made by said companies but not owned by them (e.g. giving anything Four Swords/The Minish Cap-related the Capcom tag; anything Star Fox: Assault or Donkey Konga-related the Namco tag; anything Mario Hoops-related the Square Enix tag; etc.). While I wouldn't mind this, per se, it's still something that needs a consensus first in order to be implemented. The Jacketed Terrapin 21:14, October 25, 2021 (EDT)
