does anybody remember kingdom hearts?

I think it’s safe to say that I had an abnormal obsession with Kingdom Hearts growing up. Despite being obsessed with the main characters, I really fell in love with the plot line. I love that it’s very confusing yet simplistic with childlike undertones. There were so many aspects to this games that really made it stand out in the early 2000s. It made the 13 year wait all worth it.

the perfect trio

Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep

These games have a way of building very strong trios. They all have a range of different personalities that makes us just love them so much. The one that stands out to me the most during this entire series is the relationship between Aqua, Ventus, and Terra. It’s almost similar to Sora’s and his friends, but I personally feel as though it’s stronger. They’re like a very close-nit family that would do absolutely anything for each other. In Birth by Sleep, I would usually play as Aqua, and her love for those two was very admirable. Once she learns of Terra running away she doesn’t hesitate to go after him and make sure he stays in the light. She also makes sure Ventus is safe no matter what. Sadly, by the end of the game they all get separated because of an “evil force”. I won’t ruin it for you just incase you want to play it.

the worlds

Kingdom Hearts III

My favorite aspect of these games is the incorporation of the Disney franchise. The gameplay is basically you jumping into different Disney “worlds” as you follow the plotline. For example there is a Toy Story world were you play in the setting of Toy Story. There is also a world for Big Hero 6 and Frozen in the most recent games. I find it something very interesting to take these original Disney stories and further them more through games. It personally helped me to fill in holes left from the Disney originals and further look into the lives of the characters.

my favorite world

Kingdom Hearts II

Growing up I also had an unhealthy obsession with The Little Mermaid. I had the dress, the outfit, the flipper, the hair, the table, the cups, the utensils, and a unmundane sized doll. So, you could imagine my surprise when I saw that it was one of the worlds on Kingdom Hearts II. I think that had to be the best storyline for me because I loved seeing Sora and Ariel develop each other’s personality. Sora’s whole thing is that he learns to be a hero by going through these different worlds and learning these lessons from Disney characters. I just really love that aspect of it as well as the plot of friendships in this game.

Kingdom Hearts III

Though I love the aesthetic and pleasant character developments of The Little Mermaid’s world, I really value the combat aspects  in Big Hero 6’s world in the latest game Kingdom Hearts III. The animation for these games has always been ahead of it’s time. The development of setting for Big Hero 6 is something I couldn’t have ever been prepared for. There’s a whole thing about the Keyblades, which can be interchangeable, that helps you fight the “bad guys” in this game. You get a new one based on the world you just beat. The best ones in my opinion are from Big Hero 6 and Frozen. The Big Hero 6 keyblade is based off of the Nano tech that Hiro Hamada developed in the movie. It has a feature that if you build of enough momentum you can do a special attack, and I personally think it’s one of the best ones. You should really watch the gameplay or even play yourself. It’s a very wholesome and interesting series to follow. It also has a manga for people who prefer to read it.
