Kingdom Hearts is NOT an FF spin-off

I have no idea why it says that Kingdom Hearts is an FF spin-off on this page and on the Final Fantasy series wiki page, that is just plain wrong. KH has always been considered its own series that just so happened to include FF cameos to fill up some character roles that they hadn't created original characters for. Disney fully owns the KH IP and all its characters.

This is not a subjective opinion, it's literally not an FF spin-off. Just because it has borrowed some elements from it (like calling items and spells things such as hi-potion, firaga etc...) does not label it as such. By that logic every spiritual sucessor are spin-offs. Wheatley30331 (talk) 01:00, 1 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
