Kingdom Hearts and Me
Hello, anyone who may come here! This is my little "shrine" dedicated to the Kingdom Hearts (KH) franchise, Square Enix's collaboration with Disney. I am going through the entire series and trying to 100% all games. I have no prior or nostalgic connection to KH.
I hope to share some of my own fanart, tips, complaints, things I really enjoy about the franchise... whatever you name it! I don't know how in-depth I will discuss the story and characters, but there
will be *minor* spoilers (ie. mentioning a character's name). I will try to hide or warn of major spoilers. I'm also playing all games in Japanese, on PC / Steam, and the REMIX versions. I also intentionally try to avoid
interacting with the fandom, so there's a good chance I won't understand fanon references or jokes.
Getting into Kingdom Hearts Yourself
Where do I begin?
Are you curious if KH is the right series for you? Well I recommend it overall! Most games are 3D action role-playing games, think Super Mario 64 but you have potions and equipment and smash enemies with a keyblade! They are Final Fantasy-adjacent with lots of FF characters making cameos and having roles
within the story. The hack and slash elements are well-done. Also the STORY, omfg, is so amazing! The characters too... Almost anyone would love the games imo!
I've never been a huge Disney fan, but the whole series feels like a love letter to the Disney universe. The series is earnest and always takes itself very seriously in-universe (no Marvel movie quips or irony humor), so you kind of just have to laugh and roll with the sillier elements. Try it out!
You can buy the KH games here on Steam for PC. You can also buy them through the Epic Games store or as a bundle for PS3 and PS4. Or just wherever platiform each game is available on.
