Mission Mode: Difference between revisions

At the beginning of the development for ''Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days'', one of the first aspects of the game Tetsuya Mission had decided was to include a multiplayer mode. Mission Mode's concept was designed after the gameplay of ''{{w|Dissidia Final Fantasy}}'', another game Tetsuya Nomura and Square Enix had worked on. During the development of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'', ''Dissidia'' was originally envisioned as a ''Kingdom Hearts'' spin-off title featuring the cast of ''Kingdom Hearts'', including Disney original characters, where they come together to fight. The game was later reworked into a ''Final Fantasy'' spin-off as Nomura felt uncomfortable with the idea of having Disney characters fighting each other. The original idea was later implemented into Mission Mode, where the cast instead consists of the members of Organization XIII along with [[Riku]], [[Sora]], [[Goofy]], [[Donald]] and [[King Mickey]]. Nomura originally had concerns with including the non-Organization XIII characters due to their stronger connection to Disney, however he was surprised to hear that Disney was fine with it.<ref>[https://www.khinsider.com/news/Ultimania-Interview-886 KH insider: 358/2 Days Ultimania - Main Nomura Interview]</ref>
