So, I was reading the 2001 official playstation magazine that had an interview with Tetsuya Nomura and others.
Here I learned that Nomura specifically credited Jun Akiyama and his work on Vagrant Story for adding a darker edge to KH1's feel and story. Akiyama was the cutscene director and co-writer of KH1.
But then there was a Q&A that asked if there were any ideas from Disney or Square that the other group didn't agree with.
Akiyama would respond they had quite a bit of freedom writing the story, but that the few ideas that were rejected by Disney all involved the "bathroom".
Jun Akiyama would never go on to elaborate on this. In fact, he entirely stopped working on the Kingdom Hearts series after that, making KH1 his only contribution to the series entirely.
ERA, does anyone know what the hell is the "bathroom"? And why has it been left unanswered for two decades? Am I flying too close to the sun asking these questions?
