Important Disney Characters

Throughout Kingdom Hearts, there are many different Disney characters we encounter. Of course the main ones, that take a bigger part in the game would be, Mickey Mouse or King Mickey, then it wouldn't be the same if his two best friends weren't around with him Donald and Goofy. In the first game Kingdom Hearts it starts with Mickey realizing that the darkness is becoming a series problem, and throughout the game they have bigger roles when they start there journey to help Sora. Though Mickey ends up going off with Riku at some point and going and doing other important things while, Goofy and Donald go along with Sora, and the relationship they build while going on there journey is so nice, you can tell the all really care for each other and would do whatever they needed to help each other out.
And this are just some of the main characters  there are a few other that play bigger parts as well we have Jimmy Cricket, and Mastery Yen Sid. Yen Sid is important because Mickey study under him and learned many important things from him, and then Jiminy Cricket who play the little knowledgeable conscience character  he seems to always be around when help is need. This isn't even getting down to all of the amazing characters that appear through this game, we see Mulan, Quasimodo, Tron, there are even the villains like Maleficent, and Frollo, and Pete from Goofy is a villain, and many many more fantastic characters.





Kingdom Hearts in my life

I love Kingdom Hearts so much! I just can't get over how cool of a game it is. This is actually one of the things that inspired me to go in to Animation for a career. The art work in this game is amazing! The graphics are really good to, and just how it is a combination of different games and characters is just phenomenal. While getting into the game I realized that this was something that I would maybe want to pursue later on in my life, and that is what I have been doing slow, but one day hopefully i'll be able to get to where I want to be. Though the animation I decided on was more for cartoons than video games unless i'm able to get on at Blizzard Entertainment, then I would surely go into video games, because I think that they are quite amazing with the computer games they put out. Games like World of Warcraft, and Star Craft, these are some pretty amazing games as well. What can I say i'm a gamer, one other reason this area interests me so much. Though my ideal place to work at would be FUNImatin Entertainment, which is a company that focuses on the cartoon side of things, and translates cartoons from Japanese into English for our enjoyment. Though Square Enix might not be to bad either.

Axel/Lea

Axel of course my all time favorite character of Kingdom Hearts! Which makes him my favorite Organizatoin XIII member as well, next  would be Dymex. Whats fun about Axel is that he always wants to be known, and to never be forgotten which leads to my favorite saying of his "Got it Memorized?" Axel says this after almost everything he say that he believes is important to remember. 

Axel saying got it memorized.... A lot.

Axel is the name of his nobody, but his real name is Lea, how you can tell the differences is that Axel has the little raindrops under his eyes; which I think makes him look really cool, then there is Lea. Lea doesn't have the raindrops under his eyes. Back before he came a nobody, his best friend was Isa. Isa is Saix in Organization XIII and being in the Organization hasn't been to great on there friendship, but Axel easily makes friends with Roxas, who he had once met before when he was human, back in Radiant Garden where Axel lived. At the time he met Ventus, before he became Roxas. I'm pretty sure that's why they have a good relationship while in the Organization. Though what i find odd is that when they met for the first time they only seem like they were a couple years apart, but when there in the organization the age difference seem to be more of a gap. Axel is just a lovable character he is just that fun character that add extra excitement to the game, and many seem to look forward the whenever he is going to appear next. I know I do! And then i'll watch all of the cinematics that he is in for fun.  

My favorite Kingdom Hearts games

There are quite a few Kingdom Hearts games to play, and a lot of them are on different system, which can make it difficult to play them all, if you don't have the systems that are required to play them on. Though there are ways you can get an idea of whats happening in the story by watching Walkthroughs. My favorite walk through is set up like it is a movie, its really cool, and not short.

But recently i was lucky enough to play the games I haven't been able to so know I really have and order of which game I like the best. 
  1.  Kingdom Hearts 358/2 is my fist favorite, because my favorite character appears in it a lot, also it was the first Kingdom Hearts game I ever played.
  2. Kingdom Hearts 2 another one with my favorite person, thought it hold a sad ending for him, for the time being 
  3. Birth by Sleep where we meet Ventus, Aqua, and Terra, and learn about the Mark of Mastery test, and other exciting things.
  4. Kingdom Hearts the very fist one, gets us wanting to play more.
  5. Kingdom Hearts Chain of memories
  6. Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance, and the return of Lea! May have to move this one up on the list one day.
  7. Kingdom Hearts: ReCoded still fun, but not quite like the rest of the games.
What was nice was that they are all really fun, and judging by what people like out the game is what can make one slightly more enjoyable than the next.

Organization XIII and Nobodies

Organization XIII is a group of Nobodies; nobodies are people who have no hearts, because the darkness in their hearts got out of control, and couldn't be managed. When this happens a shadow heartless is created, and if the heart is strong enough it leaves behind the body which we call Nobodies. Organization XIII's goal is to get there hearts back by creating Kingdom Hearts by having Roxas and Xion, the newest members of the group to fight Heartless, and collect the hearts from them. What special about the two is that they are the only Key Blade users in the group, and only those with Key Blades can collect the hearts from the heartless. 


Vetus, Sora, and Roxas
Nobodies are said to not have any feelings, and don't have really any emotion,because they do not have there hearts anymore, but I find it interesting that there are many of them who, show emotions and that they have feelings. I think this maybe, because of Roxas. Roxas is a special kind of Nobody, and he actually does have a heart, because of his encounter with Sora, back when he was Ventus, but because Sora gave him is heart he became Soras nobody named Roxas. An interesting fact about the organization is that you get a new name, and what find to be fun about that is it is there old name backward or slightly mixed up with an X in like Lea became Axel, and since Ventus had Soras heart it went of Soras name and he became Roxas. Organization XIII is an interesting group, and it is so much fun learning about all there little secrets as you go through the game.

The Begining Kingdom Hearts


I want to Blog about Kingdom Hearts, because it has been something I have recently gotten into quite a bit, and very much enjoy the game more than a lot of other games I have played in the past, and I really love playing all sorts of video games. 

Kingdom Hearts is game that had been collaborated between two different companies; Square Enix and Disney Interactive Studio. Theses two companies took two different games and the characters in them, and thought of a way to bring them together, and still have them be some what different from the other games, as well as bringing in Disney characters into play. The two games that Square Enix brought into this project was Final Fantasy, and The World Ends With You games, which I know for sure that Final Fantasy its self is an amazing game as well. Disney brought in many of the different worlds, and characters from them.

With the combination of theses characters from the games there are just so many fun and interesting to learn about what they're like in Kingdom Hearts. Also with combining Disney in with it, many worlds are created and many are of places in the Disney world, places such as Beasts Castle from Beauty and the Beast, Port Royal from Pirates of the Caribbean, and many other worlds that you get to explore while playing in the game. I must say that Tetsuya Nomura and Shinji Hashimoto, the creators of the the game are geniuses to come up with the idea of taking Square Enix game and combining them with Disney. This is why I thought it would be fun to talk about how amazing this game really is, and I'm sure others would agree as well.
