On Crossovers...

Okay so before we begin, I want to say that this thread is not meant to flame. It's more of the fact that some of them I have seen have made me go 'HUH?!' as I try to imagine the ways that the crossovers could work.

Since this site is KH based I will mainly keep in mind the KH storyline. Yes, Sora can travel to various disney related worlds so anything that Disney had made, and possibly worlds that Squeenix has created. Personally I would love to see Sora and company show up in Midgar someday.

Anyway, outside of the Disney and SE worlds you kind of have to sit back and imagine a kid with big shoes wielding a giant key, a talking dog, and a talking duck would work in that setting.

Take for instance Harry Potter. It can work. Since magic exists in both worlds. There are instances of a shadow organization in both( Death Eaters and Organization XIII) . And an epic struggle for Good vs Evil also exists in both. (Harry and co. vs Voldemort and co. and Sora and co. vs. various baddies). It can work if done well. Also in Harry Potter, there is a good deal of talking animals such as spiders. I don't think a talking duck and talking dog would look too out of place. And some of those Death Eaters would make great Heartless and/or Nobodies. Come on, imagine Bellatrix Lestrange as a Heartless. She's almost there around the 5th book. xD And Lucius Malfoy as a Nobody?

Another instance of a good crossover: Jak and Daxter/Kingdom Hearts. Well think about it. Eco is almost magic and I can just imagine the tutorial Samos gives Sora on the use of Eco. The first game was at least kid friendly and if your friend is turned into an Ottsel I don't think a talking dog and duck is going to be too strange. Jak might give them funny looks but wouldn't consider it too odd. Sure odd in the out of the ordinary sense but I would think the giant key might throw him off more.

And how about Spyro? Magic is all over the place in that world. Animals talk. It's PERFECT.

Also the Zelda universe would be perfect. Magic all over the place. And can you imagine having Link in your party fighting against...whatever enemy would be there. The Twili were sort of like Heartless.

And what's an instance of a crossover that's one of those WTF? worthy ones?

Well just think a moment...it can't be that hard.

Let's look at Resident Evil/Kingdom Hearts. I realize that the Good vs. Evil element exists in both of these games. However, can you imagine Sora, Donald, and Goofy in infected Raccoon City battling zombies and BioOrganic Weapons such as Nemesis with a giant key, a shield, and essentially a stick? Nemesis likes using a rocket launcher. Magic doesn't exist in Resident Evil so this crossover better not be appearing unless you have a pretty darned good explanation for it to happen.

Although I can imagine Wesker having a good laugh at Sora before beating him senseless. :3

Okay another example where this wouldn't work, how about Metal Gear Solid? I know it's a great game series and Snake uses some pretty ridiculous things that even MacGuyver would shake his head at. I mean using a cardboard box to escape detection? I can't see Sora, Donald, and Goofy in that world let alone imagine why they would be there. Yes there is Good vs. Evil but magic does not exist...at all. You can make some arguments here and there ie Fortune but there was a logical explanation for that. Kojima is almost ****-retentive in making sure there's logical explanations for everything.

One final example that wouldn't work is SG-1. Now I have read some FF7/SG-1 crossovers that actually had a logical explanation to it. Something about randomly dialing in Gaia and Sephiroth sort of crashing through the iris of the Stargate. Blahblahblah. Anyway, aside from a few worlds, magic largely doesn't exist. The Gao'uld could be considered as the villains for the most part, aside from Replicators and the like. I just can't see Sora, Donald, and Goofy there.

Again, this isn't meant to flame anyone. Please don't interpret this little guide as that. I'd just like a little logic in your crossovers. Is that so wrong? ;;

PS: If Staff would like to move this. Feel free.

 

CtR approves of this thread, sometimes there are crossovers that are bound to crash before they even take off.

Originality is always a good thing, but a little realism doesn't hurt dearies <3


p.s any flaming in here and I WILL warn those people <3
