"Heartless." "Nobodies." "Organization XIII." And the iconic "Keyblade." Every one of those elements is inextricably tied to Square Enix's action RPG franchise that marries the characters, worlds, and themes of Final Fantasy and Disney in a wonderful way. Since the series' glorious debut back in 2002, Kingdom Hearts has grown into a multimillion-dollar IP that has amassed a huge fanbase and sold tons of copies across the globe. The beginning journey of Sora, Donald Duck, and Goofy paved the way for subsequent entries that introduced new heroes, villains, and worlds inspired by Disney & Pixar's most cherished big-screen works. And while the series' overarching plot has left several fans trying to make sense of it all, one thing is for certain - they're there through thick and then to see Sora, Donald, Goofy, Mickey Mouse, Riku, and Kairi win in the end. With all that being said, allow us to offer you our ranking of the 11 best Kingdom Hearts games.
