The Master gave a copy each to five of his apprentices, who collectively came to be known as the Foretellers, and soon, he mysteriously vanished. This war, according to the book, would end with the darkness devouring the light, and the eventual destruction of the world. The prophecies in this book foretold an oncoming war, one between light and darkness. Armed with his powers, he wrote something known as the Book of Prophecies, and though it’s name doesn’t explain what it was all about, it was a book that contained prophecies.
The Master of Masters, however, was a mysterious man with incredible powers, as we’ve already mentioned, and one of his powers was being able to see into the future. Each of these Keyblade masters was in charge of a Union, which were factions of sorts, and consisted of children and young apprentices under the tutelage of each of these Keyblade masters. The world was looked over and protected by a number of Keyblade masters, elite soldiers and upholders of the law, all of whom served under the tutelage of Master of Masters. No heart in the world is devoid of sadness or darkness, and though the world was one of light, it was also one where darkness festered. We’re just getting started).īut you know how it goes- where there is light, there is shadow. Kingdom Hearts, and the light within, was protected by a special weapon known as the x-blade, a Keyblade shaped, well, like an x (so really, a weapon shaped like a key, but also shaped like an x- hang on to your butts. The source of this light was a giant heart in the sky, which was known as Kingdom Hearts, considered to be the source of all light, and hence, all life. Not literal light- the light of hearts (not that there wasn’t literal light). Long ago, in a time that is now known as the age of fairytales, the world was a singular, cohesive whole, a world filled with light.
KINGDOM HEARTS 3 XION SERIES
The series uses this frame as a way to take players to different locations and to introduce different characters, with each of these worlds usually being based off of a single Disney property in particular.Īnd while it’s a clever way of having so many different narrative and gameplay elements in a single experience without sacrificing coherence, within the Kingdom Hearts lore, there is a narrative explanation for this as well- this is where the Keyblade War, one of the most important events in the entire series, comes in. The story of the Keyblade War and the events leading up to it is told in Kingdom Hearts χ, which is technically the eighth instalment in the franchise, but takes place over a century before all the other Kingdom Hearts games, with its events chronicling how the world of the series that we’re all so familiar with even came into being. Kingdom Hearts, as you probably know, is a crossover of Disney properties, with some Final Fantasy characters peppered in here and there, with all of this taking place in a universe where several largely distinct and varied worlds co-exist, but are more or less completely separate from each other. Without further ado then, in chronological order, here is the entire story of Kingdom Hearts.īefore we dive into the thick of things, it’s important, as always, to talk about the lore and setup of the entire series a little bit, things that we will be calling back to throughout this recap. If there’s anything we do miss, let us know! Making sense of its long and winding tale will be no easy task, and though we’re going to do our best, as we always do in our Story So Far features, we’ll be looking at your comments as well, to make sure we haven’t missed out on any major details or plot threads. 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. 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.
