Yeah, I know about the interview and why they used Zack. Because, yes, he was a character from the past and he did fit nicely, which is all the more reason why I wanted Laguna in BBS because he was also a character from the past.
And I agree with you. Zidane in KH would be AWESOME xD He and Sora would get along perfectly lol. But regardless of which FF characters we HOPE to see in future KH titles (That "Hope" was not a pun actually) I just can't wait to see which FF characters we'll see in general
Nomura stated in an old interview before BBS's release that the reason why it's only Zack in BBS is because it's 10 years before KH and Zack was also in Crisis Core for the PSP so they felt like he would fit in nicely. And they were right. I would have liked to see Zidane in there somewhere.
Neku may not be an FF char, but he's still a character designed by Tetsuya Nomura. That alone is enough of a reason to have him in the game.
As for Zack...I wish there were more FF chars in BBS. Like I heard Laguna from FF VIII was intended to be in the game, and that would have been cool...but it seems like there are less and less FF chars in KH lately. They were originally gonna just include FF chars designed by Nomura-sensei...but I'd really like to see Cecil from FF IV and even Lightning in KH
Maybe they're hinting something. Kind of feels like they added him in because Neku also was on a portable nintendo system. Kind of like they did with Zack in BBS. But then again Neku isn't an FF char... Square, I want some answers!
I can't believe Neku's in the game--that's AWESOME. I never expected something like that...I wonder why...maybe they needed a good excuse for Koki Uchiyama to come back? xD
