    Hey everyone, I should've reported this rumor about Aqua last week when it was first mentioned, but I didn't think anything of it. The topic was mentioned by our forum member "Rho" in the KINGDOM HEARTS Birth By Sleep section, where the member was confused about the rumor with Aqua. It's been said that Aqua's outfit has changed due to her appearing too "sexy". The rumor continued and some fans heard that Disney complained about the outfit. I can't confirm if Disney really complained, but what we can tell is that a change has been made by Nomura, which shows less of her back/waist. Images have been posted above which features the change in Aqua. The left image features the older version and the right image features the updated and "un-sexy" version. Can you believe what we are reporting about (laughs)?

      I noticed that too about Aqua's outfit, mainly because of the exposed back and pretty large breasts(there, I said it nicely and not too perverted).

      That's a different story. Soul Caliber isn't Disney franchise.

      That is true but I was just making the point that the kidlets are probably already exposed to that kind of stuff as it is, making it kind of pointless in a way for Disney to muck around with the character design.

      Also, to the person who made the quip about Org. XIII going gung ho, you made me laugh herder than I have all day. Thanks. XD

      Actually, Disney censored Rikku's costume too. Take a look at the before and after:

      Disney, why couldn't you give us full-size sexy Gullwings?

      Hm. I kinda like the changed version better. It's not like we know much at all about Aqua, but I don't think the first version fits her, for some reason x'D

      I really don't see anything wrong with aquas outfit. i've seen disney movies were the girls wear less clothing. not only that but its not like her chest is hanging out with barely anything covering it =_=' Even though it is just a change to the back, its a little unnecessary. poor Nomura if he has to redraw EVERYTHING for this little thing

      ROFL

      Soul Caliber? Take a look at Dead or Alive.

      But still, seriously, what the hell is the friggin difference of having a small portion of her back clothed or not...? It a helluva lot appropriate than showing her...ehem, moving on.

      Disney has GOT to realize that the world DOES have T rated games. I mean, if Disney only handed their rights to their characters and movies, and didn't butt in, this game...would be friggin RIGHTEOUS!


      Sorry if I swear too much.......o.O

      Guys, guys, guys! xD

      As Mike said, there's no way of proving Disney had ANYTHING to do with the decision.

      In fact, to the best of my knowledge, Nomura was the one who decided it was "too sexy."

      The backless version just doesn't make sense-- I think they changed it to that all for fun. The third (most recent) one, I like. The corset-like garment isn't randomly split open. >_>

      Oh yeah, and as you are all well aware, Disney IS Kingdom Hearts, just as Square Enix is. Also, Aqua does technically belong to Disney (all KH original characters do), even though they had no part in creating her. And what does this have to do with Kingdom Hearts' story, by the way?

      Uh, anyway... Let me repeat my main point for emphasis: Disney most likely didn't tell Square to change the outfit.

      The Little Mermaid, ahem? That was a Disney and the women were wearing a lot less than that. I don't think anyone got scarred by Atlantica because of the clothes. Aqua's looked more anchored-on than a seashell bra, so how were her clothes any 'sexier'? Any child who hasn't already been exposed to something more scandalous is probably too young to notice that her back is uncovered, or to find it sexy. Disney should just let the clothes alone as long as they aren't too outrageous (i.e. games mentioned by other people). And that wasn't outrageous.

      It's a tiny change, so I don't especially mind. But it's the concept. Not every child can be sheltered from everything in their life. Sexy clothes are out there. Sexy clothes are very real.

      I love you.

      I doubt Disney would do anything about that. Because most, if not ALL mermaids never have anymore than a bra on.

      Hey speaking of rumor, there are rumors saying that Vanitas could be the Xehanort we know in kh and kh2. Could this be possible.

      More importantly, is his outfit too sexy? Does it need to be changed? Xehanort was baring quite a bit of chest in the first game...

      That's stupid that that small part of an outfit upsets Disney.

      Credit to erkz for noticing that. that's TGS '09 btw.

      Whoever it was who made the decision decided to make the outfit MORE sexy-er, not less.

      way to go, SE/Disney!

      You misinterpreted what I said. >_>;

      Also, I do believe Nomura mentioning having to make the back less sexy after the trailer was shown in an interview while referring to that very trailer.

      Well, if Ariel and Jasmine aren't censored, then Aqua shouldn't be. And on that note Ansem SOD's body should also be censored on the final boss battle in Kingdom Hearts, I mean... it's so distracting.
