Aside from an eclectic cast of characters, Kingdom Hearts boasts an incredibly unique visual style that is certain to hook even the most casual of gamers. Kingdom Hearts’ director is also it’s character designer, Tetsuya Nomura. This is key because Nomura also created the designs for Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy VIII, Parasite Eve I and Parasite Eve II as well as The Bouncer. That would certainly explain the "unique" dress of the Disney characters as well as the new members of the Disney family. Square’s graphic talents are well renown, but it has truly created something wonderful in Kingdom Hearts. The character models are rendered relatively simplistically, but through painstaking attention to detail in the animation, they give life to the characters on screen. The backgrounds in the game look like they were created from cel animation pulled right out of past Disney movies.
