“The heart may be weak, and sometimes it may even give in. But I’ve learned that deep down, there’s a light that never goes out!”

Open your hearts Buildies, and grab your keyblades! Kingdom Hearts’ Sora is making his way to the gaming table for this week’s edition of Building Character. I’m equal parts excited and scared to do this build, because Kingdom Hearts fans are a scary lot. I’m one of them, so I should know!

We will not be spoiling Kingdom Hearts III, but we will be discussing some gameplay elements from the series and might have some images from earlier games than III that contain minor plot spoilers. Fair warning!

Like many of our builds, we won’t be able to replicate all of Sora’s abilities exactly, but I think the flavor of our plucky hero will come through well! I’ve been playing Kingdom Hearts games since 5th grade, and even though the story is nonsensical and the word “darkness” now causes my eyes to bleed, I’m so happy that we’ve got another installment in this wonderful Japanese mind trip. After the break, we’ll dive into this build!
