![]() All of these individual stories told throughout the games lead up to the events of Kingdom Hearts 3 – hence why it was such a big deal for fans who had been waiting 17 years to find out how the Dark Seeker saga would come to an end.Īs the song builds and we are reintroduced to characters and locations we haven’t seen in a while – for example the Wayfinder Trio, Destiny Islands, Roxas, and more – it’s hard not to get soppy thinking about how far the series has come and how much I’ve grown since first encountering them. If you weren’t aware, the Kingdom Hearts series starts with Sora, Kairi, and Riku in the first game but we also get to meet other important characters in the sequels and spin-offs along the way. "There is something unique about Kingdom Hearts 3's opening cutscene that makes it stand out amongst all the others"Īlthough very similar in appearance, there is something unique about Kingdom Hearts 3's opening cutscene that makes it stand out amongst all the others. Whether you're in for your first adventure or coming back again for more, there's a charm to the presentation that's difficult to ignore. The opening cinematics found in the three mainline games are almost indistinguishable – but why mess with a good thing? Each cutscene consists of a voiceover from Sora at the outset, fast-paced transitions between familiar characters, settings, and iconic moments in the games, and an original song by Japanese pop star Hikaru Utada. After so much anticipation and waiting (Square Enix has a tendency to leave a bit of a gap between the mainline games) it's no surprise that they're an element of the experience we can get the most sentimental about. It's during these sequences that we get a glimpse into the adventure we are about to embark on, and receive flashes of memories from previous instalments of the series. The opening cinematics are always among the most memorable parts of any Kingdom Hearts game for me.
