Kingdom Hearts is the first game in the Kingdom Hearts series. Revolving around a fourteen-year old boy named Sora, it details his adventures after his homeworld is destroyed by sinister creatures known as the Heartless, and his attempts to restore his world and reunite with his friends. In the process, he meets many characters from classic Disney films and a handful from the Final Fantasy video game series.   Introductions   Panel   Rusty Lewis Twitter: @relewis2011   Rob Twitter: @BonusBarrel   Josh Twitter: @FranticSociety   Cartridge Club Intro/Outro Music Ser Flash Twitter: @Serraxor   Cartridge Club Logo Will Pruitt Twitter: @willopruitt   Level 1   P2(Mark) gives a quick overview of Kingdom Hearts and panel discusses their memories of the game and first impressions.   Developer: Square Enix   Publisher: Square Enix   Director: Tetsuya Nomura Platform(s): PS2 PS3 PS4 Release Date:   JP: March 28, 2002 NA: September 17, 2002   Genre: Action Role Playing   Level 2 Discuss story of the game: The heartless are attacking and destroying worlds.
