After all, few franchises have caused confusion in their fanbases with befuddling twists and turns the way Kingdom Hearts has. The excitement is palpable, and as we gear up for the final chapter in this saga, it seems like the perfect time to look back on everything that has happened in this franchise up until now. We’re now at a point where the end is clearly in sight, with the highly anticipated Kingdom Hearts 3’s release looming large on the horizon. It has been over a decade since Kingdom Hearts 2, and though we have been patiently waiting for the story to be resolved with the conclusion to this grand and winding saga, Square Enix have continued to add to the series’ narrative with spinoff entries and additional stories. In the years since then, those ambitions have become progressively loftier, and the series has continued to grow- and grow- and grow. I think he defeats his clone too.Kingdom Hearts started out in 2002 as an ambitious crossover of Final Fantasy and Disney properties, aiming to blend a colourful and endearing cast of characters with Square Enix’s brand of engaging storytelling and RPG mechanics.

They lead him through a mysterious castle in which he finds that the further he goes, the more memories he loses. Sora first encounters Organization 13 in Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, which takes place between Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts 2. The most intelligent Nobodies have formed a group called Organization 13, in which they wear emo cloaks and do shady things. Nobodies were the monsters introduced in Kingdom Hearts 2, and they're the shells left behind when a person is made into a Heartless.

But Ventus was saved when his heart took refuge with - guess who - baby Sora! Later on, after the three Keyblade apprentices are manipulated into tragic circumstances by Xehanort, Ventus will end up taking up refuge in Sora's heart again. Terra and Aqua are Eraqus' apprentices, while Ventus is Xehanort's former apprentice who was nearly killed when Xehanort attempted to jumpstart a x-blade by splitting Ventus' heart into its light and dark halves. The apprentices of Xehanort and Eraqus are the protagonists of the Kingdom Hearts prequel game, Birth By Sleep, and are a major driving force in Kingdom Hearts 3. For those who have already started Kingdom Hearts 3, a young Xehanort and Eraqus are the two men playing chess while discussing the nature of light and dark. His wild ideas put him at odds with fellow Keyblade Master Eraqus, and the two would part ways to train their own apprentices. This war passed down in legend until it became a fairy tale and caught the interest of Xehanort, a Keyblade Master who sought to create a new x-blade and summon Kingdom Hearts.
