Kingdom Hearts

Keyblade wielder's saga

Kingdom Hearts is a video game series combining characters and settings from Disney animated films with those from Square Enix's Final Fantasy games.

The sprawling action RPG franchise follows Sora and companions like Donald Duck and Goofy across interconnected worlds, battling creatures called Heartless.

The series is known for its convoluted lore, emotional earnestness, and the unlikely fusion of anime aesthetics with Disney nostalgia: I cried when Sora disappeared at the end of Kingdom Hearts III.
