As a huge Final Fantasy fan, and a person who used to watch disney films, it was a real treat. It starts out with Sora (the main character), Riku, and Kaikri on the fun Destiny Islands. You also meet Selphie (Final Fantasy 8), Wakka, and Tidus (both from FFX) here, although they are all kids. After a series of events, Sora ends up in Traverse Town, where he soon runs into Donald Duck, and Goofy, (who make up your battle team). Traverse Town is a great location for FF fan's, Leon (a.k.a. Squall from FF8) is there, along with FF7's Cid, Yuffie, and best of all Aeris (or Aerith)! You will come to Traverse town many times throughout the game. AND MUCH MORE!!!

But the game is really difficult to finish without the official guide book so i highly recommend on getting one much easier to finish the game.

Kingdom Hearts is the story of a young boy named Sora who dreams of leaving his island home with his two friends Riku and Kairi in search of other worlds, and one day his wish is abruptly granted when a vortex appears in the sky and he is promptly sucked into it, but not before obtaining an enigmatic key. In the new world he finds himself in, Sora encounters several new faces including an man named Squall who tells him the comically large key he has been carting around is called The Keyblade, aptly named since the player will have used it to fend off the equally mysterious Heartless earlier in the game. After Squall explains the Keyblade's purpose and a good old boss battle ensues, he sets off to find to find his two friends with none other than Donald Duck and Goofy in a ship made of an even more mysterious gummy-like substance. Luckily the game doesn't do a Lost and keep throwing out mystery after mystery, but pretty much allows the story to unfold from there.

Kingdom Hearts fuses the many worlds of Disney with the great graphics and gameplay of Square Enix while combining the huge cast of characters and an immersive storylines from both. It weaves all these aspects successfully to create a very unique world (or worlds) and a plot that integrates these elements of fantasy without contradiction while commanding a powerful soundtrack that empowers the emotionally deep plot and creates an immersive setting of wonderful ambience.

Kingdom Hearts was one of my favourite games growing up. The story is amazing and the difficulty was at a good level…don't think I ever beat the last boss though haha I highly recommend, especially to Final Fantasy, Disney and general RPG fans. An awesome series to get into…maybe stay away from the DS versions, however.
