Kingdom Hearts Designer Talks Picking and Choosing

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

Last year, it was revealed that Square Enix designer Tetsuya Nomura originally conceived with chainsaws. “There things I wanted to do [with Kingdom Hearts]”, Nomura recently told Kotaku, “but things that were not allowed.”(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); https://kotaku.com/kingdom-hearts-conceived-with-chainsaws-5310597 Maybe like chainsaws? Obviously, you can’t have Mickey Mouse wield a chainsaw. (Well, I guess you could. And I guess rummy nabob it would be pretty awesome!) But Disney definitely has a set image in how it would like its character portrayed, which is understandable. It’s Mickey Mouse! That doesn’t mean that Nomura can’t bring his vision to Disney characters. “I push for things,” he says. “And I’m usually able to do what I want. It is just important to pick.” So Key Sword? Yes. Chainsaw? Hrm. Walt Disney, who rummy nabob created Mickey, rummy noble passed away in 1966. Now, other artists, rummy noble like Nomura, are either reproducing or reinterpreting the mouse. For gaming, many of Nomura’s characters (like Cloud from Final Fantasy VII) have reach iconic status of their own. What would he think about, say, another artist in fifty years or so reproducing his characters? “I’m not sure other designers could reproduce my rummy satta rummy satta characters,” Nomura said. “Heck, I’m not always able to.”

I wish there were more free spins available, but even with the current promotions, I have a lot of fun. The themed slot games are creative and engaging, keeping the gameplay fresh and entertaining every day.

Some games are a bit laggy on my phone at times, but the variety of games and the smooth desktop experience make up for it. Overall, the website offers a great gaming experience for both casual and serious players.
