The idea for the game came from an elevator ride with Shinji Hashimoto (Final Fantasy and Square producer) and a Disney producer, who shared the same building in Tokyo. They came up with a crossover as a vague production idea, and the head of Square-Enix, Hironobu Sakaguchi, later agreed to the idea.

In an early trailer for the game, there is a scene showing Riku on top of Big Ben in Neverland. This scene does not appear in the final game, nor does Riku ever go to Big Ben in any way. Despite this, it is considered canon as a cutscene in Kingdom Hearts Re:coded shows that this is where Riku and Kairi went after leaving Captain Hook's ship.

The Pride Lands were originally going to be to be a playable level, with Sora turning into a lion to fight. This idea was scrapped as fighting and walking in a four-legged body required additional programming that the team did not have time to create. The concept was later used in the sequel.
