Kingdom Hearts, the unexpected mix of Disney and Final Fantasy, has remained one of the most successful series in gaming to this day. Although the series took a new route following Kingdom Hearts 2, with subsequent games releasing mostly on handheld devices, forcing fans to wait 14 years for Kingdom Hearts 3, the series is still popular for its characters, entertaining gameplay, and ambitious story. The story centers on a young boy named Sora, who has whisked away from his home, discovers the mystical Keyblade and befriends Disney legends Donald and Goofy. Sora has been designated as the final Super Smash Bros. Ultimate combatant.
What is KINGDOM HEARTS?
Combine some of the FINAL FANTASY’s most known faces with some of the most beloved Disney and Pixar characters to take a really epic narrative filled with twists and turns. That would be KINGDOM HEARTS. Sora normally heads up the series (although on occasion, other heroes take the stage) – a young man who has the power to manipulate a mystical sword called a Keyblade. He travels across numerous Disney and Pixar worlds with the help of his companions, including Donald and Goofy, to guard them against the Heartless – dangerous creatures formed from the darkness in people’s hearts. The games range from action RPGs to card battle games, but they all share one trait:
Endearing characters.Amazing stories.Incredible music by the legendary Yoko Shimomura.The ultimate message is that friendship is our greatest power.
