The Toy Story , Monster's Inc. The main protagonist and playable character of the game is Sora , [46] a year-old boy who uses a key-shaped weapon called the Keyblade to battle the forces of darkness.

Sora is accompanied by Donald Duck and Goofy , [46] the royal magician and knight captain of Disney Castle, respectively.

With the exception of Terra, the guardians of light serve as temporary party members during the late portions of the game, with Riku and Aqua being playable during other portions; in the downloadable "Re Mind" scenario, Roxas and Kairi are playable as well.

Several members are time-travelling incarnations and associates of Xehanort from the past: Young Xehanort, [33] his adolescent self; Terra-Xehanort, [69] a fusion of Xehanort's heart and Terra's body; Ansem and Xemnas , [71] Xehanort's Heartless and Nobody, respectively; Vanitas , [38] the embodiment of Ventus's darkness; and "Dark Riku", a version of the Riku Replica.

Returning Disney villains Maleficent and Pete also appear together in minor roles. Kingdom Hearts III also introduces a new original character named Yozora, who features prominently in an in-universe video game commercial in the Toy Story world, and later in the secret ending.

As with previous games in the series, a multitude of Disney characters appear in worlds based on their respective films and properties.

The Final Fantasy Moogle character returns as the item shopkeeper. Sora, who was nearly taken over by Xehanort, [c] discovers that he has lost much of his own strength as a result.

Accompanied by Donald Duck and Goofy, Sora resumes his travels across other worlds to regain his "power of waking", the ability to restore lost hearts.

During their travels, Sora and Riku are contacted by Ienzo, who discovers via Ansem the Wise's research data that Sora's body contains the hearts of Roxas and two others, later identified as Ventus and Xion.

Riku surmises that the Organization's members from the past are using artificial human replicas created by Vexen as vessels that allow them to exist in the present, which inspires Sora to transfer Roxas's heart into a replica body to restore him.

Meanwhile, the Heartless Ansem enters the realm of darkness and kidnaps Ansem the Wise, corrupting Aqua's heart in the process. Vexen rescues Ansem the Wise, revealing himself to be a double agent within the Organization, and sends Demyx to deliver a spare replica to Ienzo for Roxas to inhabit.

Riku and Mickey eventually locate and battle the corrupted Aqua in the realm of darkness. At the same time, Sora discovers Master Eraqus's Keyblade on the Destiny Islands and uses it to enter the dark realm, where he purges the darkness from Aqua and returns her to the realm of light.

When she is attacked by Vanitas, Sora rediscovers his power of waking and returns Ventus's heart, who awakens and fends Vanitas off.

The seven Keyblade wielders depart for the Keyblade Graveyard to battle the Organization, only to be consumed by a swarm of Heartless summoned by the possessed Terra.

Sora awakens in a limbo realm called the Final World, where his heart is sustained by Kairi's power, while a Chirithy guides him in restoring his fragmented body.

He then uses the power of waking to revive his friends and travel back in time to the moment before their initial defeat, which is averted by the intervention of Terra's lingering will.

The guardians of light successfully destroy the Organization's members until Master Xehanort remains; in the process, Terra regains control of his body and reunites with Aqua and Ventus, while Lea reunites with Xion, who regains her memories from Sora's heart, and Roxas, who regains his own heart to protect Lea and Xion.

Using Xehanort's power of time travel against him, Sora, Donald, and Goofy transport him to his boyhood training grounds of Scala ad Caelum, where they defeat replicas of Xehanort and, eventually, Xehanort himself.

After the other Keyblade wielders rejoin them, Eraqus emerges from Terra as a spirit and convinces Xehanort to surrender.

Sora decides to use the power of waking to save Kairi; despite warnings that his repeated misuse of this power could result in him vanishing from the realm of light, Sora promises to return.

Afterwards, Sora's friends gather at the Destiny Islands for a celebration, where a revived Kairi stays beside Sora before he fades away.

In a post-credits scene , Xigbar, who survived the battle, retrieves Xehanort's Keyblade and summons four of the five Foretellers, revealing himself to be an incarnation of their fellow Keyblade apprentice, Luxu.

He begins to recount his actions to the Foretellers, with Maleficent and Pete watching from afar. In a flashback to their youth, Eraqus and Xehanort begin a new game of chess that predicts a battle between Sora, Luxu, and the Foretellers.

It is divided into three separate scenarios—"Re Mind", the "Limitcut Episode", and the "Secret Episode"—which are unlocked in sequential order after the original game is cleared.

The titular scenario centers around Sora's rescue effort of Kairi. Assuming an incorporeal form, Sora travels back in time to the battle between the guardians of light and the Organization, traveling through the guardians' hearts to reach Kairi.

After passing through the hearts of Ventus, Aqua, Terra, and Roxas, Sora enters his past self's heart and tries to avert Kairi's fate, but fails.

However, Mickey reveals to Sora that Xehanort has hidden the crystal fragments of Kairi's heart as a last resort. Sora finds five fragments in Scala ad Caelum before his past self's final battle with Xehanort, and then traces the remaining two through Riku and Mickey's hearts during the guardians' battle against Xehanort's replicas, restoring Kairi.

After defeating Xehanort's merged replicas, Sora and Kairi travel to the Final World to meet Chirithy, whom Sora persuades to return to the realm of light.

The "Limitcut Episode" is set one year after Sora's disappearance; his allies have since lead an ongoing search for him, while Kairi has entered stasis after volunteering as Ansem the Wise's test subject to help Sora.

During a visit to Radiant Garden, Riku analyzes digital copies of Sora and the Organization's members programmed into Cid Highwind 's computer, hoping to uncover clues to Sora's whereabouts through their battles.

After the analysis proves inconclusive, Riku is approached by the Fairy Godmother to meet Yen Sid, who suspects that they may find Sora through the dreams of Riku and two others.

The "Secret Episode" focuses on Sora, who has become trapped in the Final World since his disappearance. There, Sora encounters Yozora, who claims that he has been requested to save Sora, but questions his identity and battles him atop a skyscraper in a modern-day metropolis.

Afterward, regardless of who wins, Yozora awakens in a car while a closing narration ensues in his and Sora's voices, with the battle's victor saying, "None of this makes sense to me.

In regard to a possible release of Kingdom Hearts III , Nomura said "We have various ideas, but we're not at the point where we can say that.

I feel that it's not the right time to talk about the future of Kingdom Hearts. When asked about Kingdom Hearts III , Nomura noted that fans and partners alike were interested in its release, and would work to "realize it" as soon as possible.

Directly after E3 , Nomura claimed that Kingdom Hearts III was announced "too early", based on where the game stood in development.

He continued by saying, "Many fans were feeling impatient due to our continuous releases of spin-off titles, so we decided to announce it at the same time as Final Fantasy XV ".

A short teaser for the game appeared at the end of the Kingdom Hearts HD 2. Yasue revealed that the sequence seen in the teaser was the opening scene for the game.

He added that it was created by Nomura, who had "a real clear picture of [what] the starting sequence" should be, and that the text seen and heard was going to "be a real integral part of the story".

In January , Yasue revealed that working on HD 2. He also stated that the team had an internal release window they were trying to hit.

Regarding downloadable content DLC for the game, Nomura stated that "nothing is set in stone" regarding it, but he told the development team to "be prepared to be able to accommodate for something like that.

We can't suddenly develop a system where we're accommodating for downloadable content. So it's not confirming or denying either way, but just so that the development team will be prepared".

Nomura was open to potentially adding customizable accessories, as was able to be done in Kingdom Hearts 0. At D23 Japan , Square Enix revealed the game was being developed in three sections, with approximately three worlds in each section.

At that time, the worlds in the first section were said to be 90 percent complete and development of the middle section at around 60 percent. No update was given on the final section of the game, though Nomura stated its contents were "something he's always wanted to do and put into Kingdom Hearts , ever since the days of working on Final Fantasy It is bound to surprise everyone.

Additionally, Nomura revealed the development team was concerned with the size of the game and if it would fit on the game disc. To help with this, the team was turning some of the cutscenes into pre-rendered films to help reduce load times.

In a June interview with The Telegraph , Nomura had revealed that he had requested the use of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit in the game, but the response from Disney was that the character would "be too difficult to use," with no details or clarification as to why.

At E3 , worlds based on Frozen and Pirates of the Caribbean were revealed. This was due to the Chinese government banning any depictions of the character after the character's appearance had been compared to that of Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping.

Nomura revealed the Tangled world was one of the first determined to be in the game, as the development team wanted to include Rapunzel due to her strong personality and her hair, saying, "she is able to utilize her hair in such a way where she's whipping it around.

She can even use it for attacks, and that was just so appealing, and we thought it would make for such great gameplay". When asked in if any of these properties would appear in Kingdom Hearts III , Nomura said he contacts Disney after he hears of an acquisition, though he noted that "Disney's pretty honest [on the possibility of an inclusion].

If the situation is really difficult, they'll say, it's really difficult. If it's impossible, they'll say it's impossible.

He expanded, saying, "We have to come up with a world that has a lot of originality. We want variety For each world there has to be some meaning for it, in the plot Also, gameplay-wise, is that world something that would make gameplay fun?

Nomura had hoped to include a world based on Toy Story since Kingdom Hearts II , saying he felt "Sora really fit in and matched well with that world" and being "able to execute that into the game is something I'm really excited for.

This world was the first submitted to Pixar for approval shortly after the completion of Kingdom Hearts II , with Nomura presenting them a general outline of the story he had planned for the world.

It would take Pixar "several years" to approve the story and character designs, as Nomura and Square Enix were negotiating through Disney, not with Pixar directly.

Nomura noted the approval process for each world was more difficult than with earlier games, because many of the worlds are based on some of Disney's more contemporary films, making it harder to take creative license with the worlds.

They saw it more as a product, like you would a branded toy or something. For instance, Frozen. The staff is still there and they work with us on Frozen.

Because we go directly to the creators, they have the most passion for their titles. In June , Nomura discussed the updated visuals, saying that the development team tried to return the character's texture to the original "paintbrush art from Disney productions".

The resulting visuals were referred to as the Kingdom Shader. Nomura continued, "It may look like a pretty drastic change, but I see it as a rich evolution of everything we've shown you up to now.

He added that the basis for the resulting design is a mix between Sora's costumes for Kingdom Hearts II and Dream Drop Distance , one that is "a lot more sleek and sporty" since "Sora does a lot more Speaking on the designs of the worlds, Nomura said the updated graphical capabilities allowed the development team "to depict the world[s] of the original film[s] as close to [their] original form as possible" after previously creating worlds to be "a stylized Kingdom Hearts world".

The line of sight notes, which came from Pixar, "were instrumental in raising the general quality of the animation throughout" according to the development team.

Supporting characters can explore an environment on their own if Sora idles momentarily, sometimes triggering additional cutscene moments. For example, Rapunzel responds if an Aero spell is cast on a group of dandelions.

Speaking specifically to interactions such as this with Rapunzel, Yasue said "finding and activating these moments builds trust with" her and can lead "to additional combat scenarios and treasure opportunities".

The game's soundtrack was composed by long-time series composer, Yoko Shimomura , [97] and features additional contributions from Takeharu Ishimoto and Tsuyoshi Sekito.

Miller as Fred. Dylan Sprouse appears in the Re Mind downloadable content as the voice of new character Yozora. Kingdom Hearts III only features English and Japanese voice acting and lip syncing, despite previous entries in the series having dubbing in other languages.

Nomura noted that the development team wanted to prioritize a global simultaneous release for the game, and given the time and resources for recording the dialogue, this would not have been possible with additional language recordings.

In addition, Square Enix requested the game be released as simultaneously as possible between Japan and the rest of the world, and not wanting to move up the release at the expense of development, resulted in the January date being chosen.

A deluxe edition of the game features an art book, steelbook case, and collectible pin. Another edition, exclusive to the Square Enix store, includes Bring Arts figures of Sora, Donald, and Goofy in their Toy Box outfits in addition to the deluxe edition contents.

Following the release of the game, Nomura confirmed the development of post-launch downloadable content , saying that the development team's current "top priority is on making DLC for KH3" with the intention of releasing a single content package of DLC in lieu of a separate "Final Mix" version like previous titles in the series.

Kingdom Hearts III received "generally favorable" reviews, according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.

Regarding gameplay, Wallace thought "everything that worked in previous entries" was utilized, calling the combat "fast and fluid".

Wallace was frustrated with some of the required quests in the various worlds, "but even with those frustrations, the expanded size and scope of the worlds in Kingdom Hearts III makes this the best and most varied collection of destinations in the franchise.

The combat of Kingdom Hearts III was a surprise for Dornbush, as the "new elements help make battles into spectacles that keep them varied and fresh".

He also called the Gummi Ship "wonderfully revamped" adding being more open world "gives so much more control over the ship [making] these sections a more palatable interstitial.

She said, "So many modern JRPGs look only ahead or get too trapped in the past, but Kingdom Hearts III is comfortable in straddling both lines; moving onward where the series needs it, but hanging back in ways that would make it feel untrue to the system that birthed it.

However, the reliance of frequent cutscenes led the game to feel "a tad outdated, pacing-wise". While the larger scope of the worlds were "more welcome" to McCarthy, and she enjoyed the designs of San Fransokyo, Kingdom of Corona, and The Caribbean, Monstropolis and Olympus "[fell] flat", with Monstropolis "largely just a bunch of boring hallways and factory rooms" and Olympus having "a bit of a 'been there, done that' vibe".

Calling the combat "chaos", McCarthy noted there was enough variety in it to distinguish itself from other entries in the series, but felt the Attraction Flow attacks were "the weakest new addition" and playing the game on "Normal" mode was not much of a challenge overall.

One of her favorite parts was the cooking mini game with Remy from Ratatouille and, conversely, felt the Pirates of the Caribbean world was "joyless" and "the only time the magic [of the game] failed".

Hussain was critical of some of the story and felt some of the worlds "feel either empty or lacking in what they offer", but did praise the design of the worlds, while also enjoying the amount of gameplay variety.
