The developers planned for [[w:c:finalfantasy:Laguna Loire|Laguna Loire]] from ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Final Fantasy VIII|Final Fantasy VIII]]'' to appear in the Mirage Arena as the head of the arena. However, the team was also planning ''[[w:c:finalfantasy:Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy|Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy]]'' at the same time, and decided that if Laguna appeared in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', he could not appear in ''Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy''. The team eventually decided they would rather have Laguna appear in the latter, and so Laguna was ultimately left out of the final product.<ref>[http://www.andriasang.com/e/blog/2010/12/21/nomura_takahashi_dissidia/ Interview] "The FFVIII hero was actually supposed to have appeared in Kingom Heats Birth by Sleep, Nomura revealed. They'd even partially prepared a scenario where Laguna appears as the head of Mirage Arena. In the end, they decided that if they were to have a new character from FFVIII in Duodecim it would end up being Laguna, so they left him out of BbS."</ref> | Originally, the Mirage Arena was meant to have a slight element of story to it, rather than be completely distant from any auxiliary characters.
