A unique mix of Disney and Square Enix characters join spiky-haired hero Sora on his journey to save multiple worlds from the evil of the Heartless and find his lost friends.

Overview

Kingdom Hearts is an action RPG published and developed by Squaresoft, and produced with the cooperation of the Walt Disney Company. The game incorporates many characters from Disney's animated works and several of Square Enix's Final Fantasy games. Kingdom Hearts sold 5.6 million copies worldwide and was critically acclaimed for incorporating the two distinct worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy into one entertaining game.

Plot

Riku
The game's story revolves around a young boy named Sora, who lives on an island with his friends, Kairi and Riku. Their ordinary lives are interrupted when dark creatures called the Heartless attack their island. Though his own home is destroyed, Sora soon learns that he has been chosen to wield the keyblade, the only weapon that can prevent the Heartless from consuming entire worlds. Sora ends up in Traverse Town, where he joins forces with Disney representatives Goofy and Donald Duck in an effort to stop the Heartless from exerting their wrath upon other worlds.

Gameplay

Sora
Sora
The gameplay in Kingdom Hearts combines Final Fantasy-style RPG elements with action-oriented combat that lets you take direct control of Sora while two CPU-controlled characters attack based on specific behaviors set by the player. Donald and Goofy usually fill out the party, but they can be swapped out for other characters from the world Sora is currently visiting, such as Jack Skellington or the Beast. While most of the combat is based on physical attacks, you also have two other staples of the Final Fantasy series -- magic and summons -- at your disposal. Instead of summoning the classic mythological monsters of Final Fantasy, though, you can call in characters from the Disney films such as Genie, from Aladdin, and Simba, from The Lion King. Kingdom Hearts also served as a who's-who of latter day Final Fantasy games, with heroes like Cloud, Squall, and Yuffie making notable appearances.

Side note
The secret boss Kurt Zisa was named by a contest held by Square in the US to promote the game.

There are 4 secret bosses: Sephiroth, Kurt Zisa, Phantom, and the Ice Titan.

Characters

Sora

"Main character. Age 14. As a teenager he has his share of concern, but he manages to keep a upbeat attitude. He may seem simple-minded at times, but he has a strong sense of justice."

Goofy

"Captain of the royal knights, a solider who dispises weapons. Under the king's orders, he accompanies Donald on the quest to find the key. An easygoing, clumsy knight."

Donald Duck

"Court wizard and loyal servant to the king. He embarks on a journey to carry out the missing king's orders to find a mysterious "key" and its owner. A feisty, impatient magician."

Riku

"Age 15. He may seem cool and collected for his age, but he is far from the quiet type. Always curious about the unknown, he begins to question the small, closed world in which he lives."

Kairi

"Age 14. She moved to Sora and Riku's island a few years ago. Though she may appear delicate, she possesses a strong, unvelding will."

The King

"A mysterious character who sends Donald and Goofy on their mission."

Soundtrack


A 2-Disc soundtrack was released in Japan on March 27, 2002 followed by a European release on November 25, 2002 and a United States release on March 23 2003. The soundtrack contains most of the music in the game along with two bonus tracks. Yoko Shimomura composed the music, with Hikaru Utada providing the vocals for "Simple and Clean" and "Hikari". All orchestral music was arranged by Kaoru Wada and performed by the New Japan Philharmonic Orchestra. The soundtrack across the discs came to a length of 2 hours and 40 minutes.
