I’ve got a confession to make: when my 12 year-old self sat down to play Kingdom Hearts for the first time, he wasn’t exactly blown away. I had only recently finished Final Fantasy X and was looking for a title that would have a similarly profound effect on me, but quickly felt concerned about the pacing and comparatively frivolous story beats of the game’s early hours. I also wasn’t totally into seeing some of my favourite video game characters of all time, specifically Tidus, Wakka and Yuna, reimagined as youngsters. An hour in, I didn’t think this was the game for me.
Ten hours later, my eyes starting to itch from exhaustion, I was prepared to accept that I was wrong. Over a decade later and with many more Kingdom Hearts adventures under my belt, it’s fair to say that I completely underestimated how significant a role the series would play in my life. The Kingdom Hearts titles have provided me with more than just happy afternoons whiled away in front of my tellybox; the wider arc that Sora and the series have taken has mirrored the development of both me and my gaming generation.
