Kingdom Hearts
Kingdom Hearts is the first game in the series, released in Japan on March 28, 2002 for PlayStation 2.Tetsuya Nomura served as game director, his first time in this position. Kingdom Hearts introduced the main characters (Sora, Kairi and Riku) of the series and established the plot's framework, involving hearts and dark beings known as the Heartless. It also established the role of Disney characters in the series, with character cameos from the Final Fantasy series. Kingdom Hearts was released in North America on September 17, 2002, and featured additional content that was not in the original Japanese version.

Kingdom Hearts 3 Release Date Delayed
"Kingdom Hearts 3" fans I sincerely apologize, but it looks like the next installment in this series is still years away. For those who have been following "Kingdom Hearts" since its debut in 2002, this wait must seem unbearable, but despite the games achingly slow progress, franchise creator and game director, Tetsuya Nomura, is providing some new information regarding the highly anticipated video game. Fans hopes for "Kingdom Hearts 3" are at an all-time high, the franchise has lost some of its initial zeal due to multiple disappointing spin-offs and long delays between significant installment releases. KH3 will be a return to the original game series, which we have not seen since 2005, that's a long wait to keep fans interested. And unfortunately, may have lost interest, but dedicated fans of the series are expecting great things. "Fan expectation for 'Kingdom Hearts 3′ is extremely high," Nomura told the LA Times, "To respond to those expectations, I have to provide something really good."
Nomura did provide fans a tiny spoiler, "Kingdom Hearts 3" will conclude the Dark Seeker saga, however that characters and locations included in the final saga installment is still undecided. Nomura admitted that there have been no definite decisions regarding the obstacles that Sora & Co. will face along their journey to their final encounter with Master Xehanort. While it seems a lot of question regarding "Kingdom Hearst 3" still remain, Nomura stated the Disney-Square Enix relationship should not be questioned. "The counterpart that I've been working with at Disney the past 10 years is the same person," said the Kingdom Hearts 3 game director, adding, "We have very heated discussions about this franchise, and we've done that for the past 10 years, but we have a steady relationship." The rumored souring relationship between Disney and Square-Einx has been attributed to the delay in game release, however, the delay in release is being cause by "Final Fantasy XV."
Nomura has committed his impressive talents to serve as game director for both "Kingdom Hearts 3" and "Final Fantasy XV". Unfortunately, Nomura does not spilt his time between the two games, instead in the recent months he has solely focused on "Final Fantasy XV" indicating that "Kingdom Hearts 3" could be facing a substantial release date delay. In an interview with IGN, Nomura himself confirmed the delayed release of the game and discussed the slow development process, saying that Kingdom Hearts 3 "is still pretty early in development." With the "Final Fantasy" series seemingly taking precedent, "Kingdom Hearts 3" producer Shinji Hashimoto is urging fans to have patience. "A lot of people have wondered for the last couple of years if Square Enix has actually been working on Kingdom Hearts III; that's why we announced it at E3 this year," the Kingdom Hearts 3 producer told IGN, adding, "But please, we need you all to understand that there's a lot to do."
(I still haven't played DDD, Birth By Sleep, or 358/2 days... flop "stan" )
I was going to because I saw it at gamestop the week before I bought my 3DS but when I went back they were out and only had used copies with cartridge only. I don't have time for that.
I will probably have to pick it up soon though since I heard you can play as Riku. Riku >>>>
