While the target audience was Disney age appropriate, the inclusion of tactics and an epic story bode well with a young adult audience as well resulting in the first title of the franchise, Kingdom Hearts 1 being “Playstation 2’s 9th best-selling game of all time” The aim of the game was to be as successful, if not more, than the Final Fantasy franchise. Tetsuya Nomura, director of the Kingdom Hearts franchise, had previously worked on Final Fantasy titles like Final Fantasy VII as a character designer, which meant that Kingdom Hearts was his directorial debut. The concept of rivaling the popularity of Super Mario 64 is what led to the creation of Kingdom Hearts, utilizing the popularity of Disney and Final Fantasy characters. This collaboration was purely coincidental when a meeting between one of the main designers of Square, Shinji Hashimoto, and a Disney executive took place in an elevator by chance, because both companies occupied the same building. This type of genre was fairly new for JRPGs when the first Kingdom Hearts game was released 28th March, 2002, published and developed by a collaboration of Square Enix (formerly known as Square, before merging with Enix) and Disney Interactive Studios. While standard JRPGs have used the Turn Based system as a form of gameplay, Kingdom Hearts diverged into a more modern approach to RPGs Action Role-Playing, where the player would undertake a more active role in the character’s story and actions. Here's something that I find really interesting, there seems to be a pattern with the PMO files, it seems to go Character, *unknown*, character again.The Kingdom Hearts franchise caters to the once popular Japanese Role-Playing Games genre.
Those are the only ones I've seen in bbs so far, but its most likely that the other worlds have similar codes. YT - Mysterious Tower, Probably stands for Yen Sids Tower, rather than mysterious tower.ĭP - Land of Departure, I wouldnt have figured this one out if i hadn't seen Master Eraqus there lol. The EX changes depending on where each character loads: The EX in Ven's code means that he loads in many different places.


I'll post a breakdown of what each code means: The model name is similar to how they are named in KH2. PMO files in hex workshop to see their model name. I'm making a list of the characters I have found so far: Thanks, I was using Hex Workshop to extract them, but i must have got it wrong somewhere, I was extracting about 40+ PMO files as one
