Transcript
00:00Former Disney CEO Michael Eisner can only barely remember the name Kingdom Hearts,
00:05and he definitely can't recall what made him give it the thumbs up.
00:10The Gamefile's Steven Totillo interviewed Eisner, and the ex-CEO apparently didn't remember the RPG.
00:17Well, that was until it was referred to as the Final Fantasy plus Disney characters project.
00:23Oh, I remember now, he then said. He was then asked if he recalled why he greenlit the first game,
00:30to which he simply answered, I don't. Eisner likely signed off on many deals during his tenure,
00:37so all is forgiven here. If anything, it makes a fun little story.
00:42Kingdom Hearts has had a life of its own many years after Eisner's departure,
00:46and Kingdom Hearts 4 is up next for the franchise. We'll even be getting a deep dive of the series
00:51scheduled for next month's D23 convention. Are you excited for the next installment
00:56of Final Fantasy plus Disney characters?
