BY KIT MORRIS: Disney and Square, two very different yet incredibly successful companies, teamed up in an elevator during the early 2000s to create what would eventually become one of the most convoluted franchises of all time. Kingdom Hearts.
Back then, nobody would expect Cloud and Zack to interact with the cast of Hercules, nor for Mickey Mouse to know Squall. Yet, for many fans, this doesn’t seem odd at all these days. Kingdom Hearts, despite its many retcons and confusing plot elements, has a magical charm that’s rare to come by.
