A new generation of JRPG players was born from Kingdom Hearts as a result. It appealed to hardcore fans of Square’s popular JRPG series, and it also appealed to younger gamers thanks to Disney’s involvement. When the franchise started with Kingdom Hearts in 2002, it was revolutionary: the much-loved Final Fantasy franchise smashed together with Disney properties? It was ludicrous, but magical. There’s a lot to love about Kingdom Hearts 3, but it is also disappointing in many ways – not just as the latest release of a much-loved franchise, but as a modern representation of an age-old genre. I have a lot of them: some positive, some negative. It’s a huge game with a lot going on so much that it’s almost too difficult to compact my thoughts on the game into any cohesive structure. Has it been worth it? Probably, but Kingdom Hearts 3 doesn’t quite live up to expectations after so much time that was always going to be a tall order. That’s not to say that Kingdom Hearts 3 is unsatisfying. With a 13-year gap since the release of the last mainline Kingdom Hearts game, it’s safe to say that we’ve had quite the wait for Kingdom Hearts 3.
