I reckon it'd be neat to include snippets of the FF plots, the way they've done with the Disney worlds. Midgar, for instance, could see AVALANCHE pitted against an enemy who's trying to create Heartless using the Mako reactors, or FFVI's heroes confronting Kefka's Nobody.

I approve of this.

Maybe not whole words, but various plot points would be nice.

And maybe a new FF enemy to fight in place of Sephiroth.

Gambit hanging out in Ivalice?

[Ouch!]

You'd have to include snippets utilizing only characters not already included in the franchise unless you want to disregard their the Kingdom Hearts canon for the given characters. It's just not feasible at this point without an absolutely deliberate destruction of canon, because while you could make Midgar, you'd have to do it without Tifa, Aerith, or Cloud.

I'm pretty happy with the FF characters being relegated to minor fan service as opposed to major stars in the series. The main storyline and cast are far more interesting than seeing what Squall, Vivi, and Selphie are up to. I'm happy they at least allowed you to use Auron so I guess I can't argue for more FF party members but I don't want them to have a larger role in the plot than they already have.

Still, I would love to see Gabranth, Shadow, or Kain appear as the third FF character Hades sends after Hercules.

I'm also up for another FF super boss that isn't Sephiroth. Though Kefka would be amusing, it might be more badass to have Chaos appear with his Dissidia abilities...

Also, who is to say that they should only be KH3? BBS is still on the horizon and no FF cameos have been spotted yet.

Not necessarily - the original FFVII versions of those characters are quite distinct from their KH counterparts, in appearance and costume and any manner of other ways. For that reason alone, they could justify having a distinct 'world' populated by faces that are familiar, but distinct. It'd definitely take the likes of Sora a long time to wrap their minds around it, but from a storytelling perspective I think it'd work fine.

[Ouch!]

I guess that's where we differ in opinion. I think having two of virtually the same individual running around would be very, very messy from a story-telling point of view. It just doesn't seem to me to be worth it. If one wants to bring in Final Fantasy in a larger role, I think just making more worlds like Traverse Town, Twilight Town, and Radiant Garden would be preferable to having character clones going around.

Also, as far as KH2 goes, the FFVII characters are almost exactly identical to their original versions in terms of costume and incredibly similar in terms of their relations to one another. It's only the back story that has been changed.

I was also hoping that they would bring Tidus and Wakka back, since they were on Destiny Island at the end of the first game. They could have had them running around on what ever area Kairi started on in KH2.
