From everything we talked about, I honestly don't like any work from Nojima at all. Perhaps this notion would be a good idea. Most of my least favourite Final Fantasy games were written by Nojima from what I understand.

Highly, STRENUOUSLY disagree with you here. The singing part of this was so embarrassingly stupid that I blushed and had to cover my face when playing through this part of the game [and yes, I was alone] to hide my laughing just because of how ridiculously retarded it was.

I truly hope that Square does not implement an idea like that ever again.

Well, Khalin, they were paying homage to classic Disney songs. Is it not common in Disney movies to sing?

And Jiro, 9/10 Disney fans have no idea that Kingdom Hearts even exists at all.

I say yes to more musicals! They don't have to accompany mini games, though; they can be just cut scenes.

I think the Atlantica songs in KHII are cute!

Sure, why not; they programmed Tron to sing and dance in KH2. Perhaps NOT High School Musical, since that wouldn't make any sense in KH, but at least a few more songs sung by the characters would be great.

Just because it's common doesn't mean it's good. I could never stand those stupid songs as a kid, and I always ended up hitting either "Mute" or "Fast Forward" whenever that nonsense came up. My mom would always laugh at me when I tried to rush past the songs.

My favourite Disney movie didn't have those kinds of songs.

Music might be the most important component of Disney films, though, and most Disney fans love the songs, I think!

Which Disney movie was that?

Yes, most definitely, they do, and putting in that Atlantica musical was a homage to that.

I find that hard to see. I always hated the stupid songs in all of the Disney movies, with the exception of a very special few.

Sleeping Beauty. It was my favourite Disney movie growing up as a kid. It did have one song in it that was vocalized by the main characters, but it was done in a much more subtle manner than how most songs are in Disney movies. The rest of the songs in Sleeping Beauty were done by Chorus [? Not sure if that's the proper word to use for it], which never bothered me at all.
