Kingdom Hearts, a cross between
Final Fantasy and the best of
Disney, can be fun for both
adults and children alike. The
story line is often very
comedic, one can even say that
it is laugh-out-loud funny at
times. Court Wizard Donald and
Captain Goofy’s banter lighten
the dubious situation in which
they find themselves and adds a
great deal of lightheartedness
to the game; as if a game with
Disney characters isn’t
naturally lighthearted. The
Final Fantasy characters, on the
other hand, add a darker element
into the mix. While the villains
from Disney cause their fair
share of trouble the main bad
guys of the game are referred to
as the heartless. The heartless
are exactly what their name
suggests, creatures without a
heart. They are endowed with an
immense amount of dark power
that is being used to wreak
havoc upon the worlds. As a
character named Sora you will
explore each world looking for
your lost friends and in the
process set the worlds free from
evil.
Sora is a fourteen year old boy
that has been living in a
virtual paradise all of his
life, his home is called Destiny
Island. In this world people
live day to day without fear and
want for nothing, unless you are
a child longing for adventure.
Sora and his friends dream of
going to other worlds, exploring
new and, in their minds, more
exciting places. Then suddenly a
horrendous storm hits Sora’s
world and he finds himself
embarking on the adventure that
he has always dreamed of, but
with one problem, he has lost
his friends. Sora travels from
one world to the next looking
for his friends Riku and Kairi,
desperately hoping to find them,
but coming up short every time.
Sora begins his journey in a
place called Traverse Town, this
is a place where travelers and
traders frequent often. In this
town one could find almost
anything that they needed to
buy. Throughout the game you
will find yourself coming here a
lot. Sora has a keyblade that he
uses as a weapon, he may not
need to use it yet, but he has a
sneaking suspicion that he will.
This keyblade is the reason that
his path crossed and intertwined
with Donald and Goofy’s.
