According to what was indicated by The Hollywood Reporter, the next Disney movie Inside Out 2 will include a scene in which some of Riley's (the protagonist) lost memories will resurface in the form of characters and one of these will be inspired by Final Fantasy.
The Hollywood Reporter's description is actually a bit vague and only says that we'll see a “PS2-style animated Final Fantasy-style video game character” featured in Inside Out 2.
It is then indicated that we will see an animated dog, in the style of Blue's Clues, and also “Dark Secret”, a mysterious cloaked figure that will probably be central to the film.
Disney and “Final Fantasy”
It's unclear exactly what we can expect from this videogame reference nor if The Hollywood Reporter is precise in defining the character as “Final Fantasy style”.
Disney and Square Enix have a connection, of course: Kingdom Hearts. The saga of the Japanese company merges the Disney worlds and the characters of Final Fantasy, but we do not believe that we will literally see Cloud or Squall within Inside Out 2, but rather a character that clearly resembles them.
Online, fans are also pointing the finger at Sora, who could be a simpler addition, perhaps even in anticipation of a world based on Inside Out for Kingdom Hearts 4. Emotions are a fundamental part of Kingdom Hearts and it would be very simple to create a world based on Inside Out, also thanks to the idea of the “islands” that make up the subconscious, which would allow Square Enix to indulge on an aesthetic level. Of course, this is all speculation.
