It’s some ugly slop no matter how it was made. Lot of speculation they took several screenshots or renders and asked AI to cartoonify and upscale.
Comment on Kingdom Hearts AI art accusations hit Square Enix, and that sure looks like slop to me

I hate how the sora faces are all at the same angle despite their bodies being different. Even if they had a real person make this if they did it the same it would still look terrible.

I'm a bit torn on it tbh because it looks like how Nomura usually designs his characters.

Yeah, this actually looks similar to the early concept sketches that Nomura cooked up. Back before Disney noticed he was trying to put a chainsaw-wielding character next to Donald and Goofy, and told him to chill out.
The original concept was that the keyblade was going to be an end-game weapon that you worked towards, while the primary weapon was going to be a chainsaw. Then Disney went “hey-… Uhh… We noticed you’re going to put a chainsaw-wielding psychopath next to Donald and Goofy. Maybe fucking don’t do that?? Take it down like two notches.” So Nomura pivoted and just gave Sora the keyblade right at the start of the game.

seeing the image I really can't tell if it's Nomura fucked up the eyes and hands or if its AI tbh

The image seems to be completely absent from the article. Not even a link.

It is not embedded in the article, but shown through an embedded X message, hence my comment.
