While the Disney characters are obviously owned by Disney, the Square characters from games like Final Fantasy seem to be owned by Square. I assume it's similar to their deal with Roger Rabbit, and they only share credit, rather than fully own them.

Godzilla is owned by Toho, and they're really protective of their license. Shogun Warriors, I have no idea who owns them. Micronauts, ROM, G.I. Joe and Transformers are owned by Hasbro and have current comic series published by IDW Publishing. Kingdom Hearts is 100% Disney-owned, Square Enix just makes the games. And they've put in the Final Fantasy characters since the beginning as a show of good faith.
