I was wondering this

[ultima-demi]

Why was Bahamut taken out of kh1 as a summon?

 

[Antiquity]

I think it was said it was a matter of space (too big maybe?). So they replaced it with Mushu instead.

Well,here's hoping he will be a summon in future installments.

all i could find was he supposedly removed

but here's a cheat but it will freeze ur game http://forums.khinsider.com/kingdom-hearts-series/39539-kh-cheat-bahamut-summon.html

I like the idea of summoning FF summons but they've already turned Disney into filler at this point, at least let some of the would-be-main-substance of the game to stay with you lol.

final fantasy is just using disney so that they have a away to add new things to it

more like lets invent a new game play using disney

Actually it's a Disney game with FF cameos. :v

But, maybe having Bahamut as a summon was too FF-ish, especially since they had a trend of Disney characters as them instead.

I dont think Disney really had anything to do with it. Maybe they just couldn't fit Bahamut's design in with the rest of the game.

And apparently, BBS Disney isn't really so much filler.
