Every dedicated Kingdom hearts fan knows that Nomura planned on making Sora's design rather different from the final one.

If someone doesn't know which first concept I'm talking about:


Disney wasn't happy with the fact that Sora wields a chainsaw so here is an altered version of Sora with a Keyblade and slightly different clothes.



If I am honest...... I kinda liked the early design of Sora.
Don't get my wrong I love his final appearance but I think I'd prefered the first version.
This way he looks way more special.

What is your favorite design?

nah, I prefer the final concept. Not saying there's anything wrong with this one, but it just feels... wrong

I like the final concept much better. I just prefer human protagonists to animal-human hybrids.

Final is more how should I put it Human and personally I don't like Humanoids at all...........

While I like Sora's final design, the first one seems pretty cool as well. WHat is they actually implemented it into a future game, where the Sora we already know and love met the original design. Eh? Eh?

That's a pretty cool idea :DD

No one knew about this? I totally did and hated it. KEYBLADES AND HUMAN SORA FTW.

Um.......I did, and everyone else who saw it posted on the homepage. lol.

I wonder who the one besides me was who voted for the first concept ;P

 

One thing that speaks for the first design is that Nomura wanted Sora to look like that.... the nagging of Disney and Square changed the concept of Sora. So actually the first concept was what Nomura wanted Sora to be in the first place.

But Sora is Nomura's favorite character of all time no matter how he looks

It was me.

It was me.

 

But you just wrote you prefer his final design o_o

His keychain reminds me of Squall and Griever. And his tail reminds me of Zidane.

Latter was the reason why the tail was removed. Bullshit in my opinion but whatever.

 

And the keychain is a symbol for Leon. Exactly like the Sleeping Lion Keyblade.

They missed their chance. They could have done that in Timeless River.

They can still do it by putting Timeless River in another KH game with a different story.

But that'd be weird, since Sora already has a Timeless River form...

Oh you meant that. I thought he can meet this version of him in the world.. so the first concept Sora would be a NPC.

I prefer the final design. The original looks unique and awesome too.

But I believe that the final design has that magical "Disney" feel to it, which makes it perfect for KH.

Oh look, a thread revival (but I guess it is only 2 weeks old)

 

I prefer the final design, but I still love the original design too. It would be fun if they had it as an extra character to play if they ever did anything like the multiplayer in Days and BBS again.

 

I did a silly fanart of Sora's original design and Epic Mickey once >>>>>

 

.... looking at it now there are a lot of things I want to fix

Got a great idea!

It should be an additional skin in KH III after you played through it on proud mode! So you can replay it as "old Sora". Maybe with minor changes in his fighting style, movement and abilities. That would be THE BEST!

 

P.S.

 

I like that artwork! Especially if you did it on such short time.

Of course it is improvable but I can only draw with pen and paper and can't draw images on a PC for shit! So great work. :>

That would be cool too. Like in FM+ you could wear a crown, except have it as an option in a new save file ^^

 

And thanks, I drew it last summer I think, so its been a while.

How much hours did you spend on this project? Just the time you actually worked on it.

I don't really remember, but I would estimate 5-7 hours.

Personally. I think that the original designs looked unique, but just WRONG. imo.

I thought the 1st design was cool but i like the final form more.
