About
Kingdom Hearts is an action role-playing game developed and published by Squaresoft for the PlayStation 2. It is the result of a collaboration between Square and The Walt Disney Company. The game combines characters and settings from Disney's animated features with those from the Final Fantasy series, developed by Square. Kingdom Hearts was a departure from Square's standard role-playing games by introducing a substantial action-adventure element. In addition, it has an all-star voice cast which included many of the Disney characters' official voice actors. Kingdom Hearts was longtime Square character designer Tetsuya Nomura's first time in a directorial position. The game uses an experience based progression system, with experience gained by defeating foes. Experience gained rises in relation to the strength of the foe, and is consistent for each enemy over the course of the game. Levels are gained with experience, and provide increases to stat attributes in strength, defence, magic, hit points, magic points and ability points, with a new, predetermined ability unlocked approximately every four levels.

(2)Disney characters + Final Fantasy + Square Enix madness. Somehow this combination became one of PlayStation’s most beloved RPGs.

I really think if you weren't there for this, you can never understand the cultural phenomenon around this game. With anime and JRPG stuff being like cool to like now, it's hard to illustrate how uncool and frowned upon it was to like anything like this back then, but this was the first time like jocks and normie people were openly into anything even remotely in this realm. EVERYONE talked about this game, and the game itself had such a crazy mystique and energy to it. The game had so much esoteric story stuff going on. You'd see a creepy door or some shadowy guy and then it was never explained until games later who they were and me and my friends went crazy for the mystery factor of it all. Yes, the game is clunky as fuck and handles pretty badly, but it's still such a gem. I legitimately think this game is a huge part of the reason that its "cool" for normal people to like anime stuff now.
