She has a stern exterior, but when it comes to her friends, she will do anything in her power to protect them, especially Ven, who drifted to sleep for a decade before she could rescue him again. She’s one of the best Kingdom Hearts characters in my mind because of her adept abilities and strength. She is strong-willed, disciplined, and has a sharp wit about her that few other Kingdom Hearts characters possess. Screenshot by Destructoid 5) AquaĪnother character Kingdom Hearts fans love (myself included!) is Aqua. By the end, your heart will be broken as a friendship is torn apart by fate. The story behind her existence is a fascinating mystery that begins to unravel as the days continue. Roxas and Axel get to know her throughout the game as she struggles to wield the keyblade. Those who have played 358/2 Days know that she’s a fun, charismatic character that’s similar to Sora in many ways. Xion is another nobody stuck with a dreaded path ahead of her. Therefore, he causes chaos throughout the worlds. He wants himself and his fellow Nobody Organization members to have hearts again but can only do so by making Sora defeat the Heartless.

Xemnas is also an antagonist who has a just cause for his actions. The Organization XIII leader has dual blades, and his battle skills with these laser swords would put even Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul to shame. Xemnas is a badass antagonist in Kingdom Hearts 2. His personality makes him such an odd antagonist, and the intrigue makes him one of the best Kingdom Hearts characters. He seems to have everything planned with the Book of Prophecies in his mind and has a strangely goofy (not our pal Goofy) vibe from him. We really don’t know much about the Master of Masters, but from his few appearances so far, fans have been intrigued by his presence. He’s endearing and kind which makes him a great friend!

Screenshot by Destructoid 9) Goofyĭespite his clumsy origins in cartoon form, Goofy is a reliable ally for Sora. His witty humor makes him a great foil for Sora, and his boss battle in KH2 is phenomenal. If you’ve played and finished Kingdom Hearts 3, you’ll know he is in fact Luxu, the Master of Masters’ right-hand man. Xigbar is certainly one of those characters that make you think.

One of the best factors of the Kingdom Hearts narrative is how it intrigues its fans with subtle nods and mystery. Screenshot by Destructoid 10) Xigbar/Luxu

And many of the legendary series characters are more intriguing than the average RPG cast, and it’s refreshing to see heroes, (or in some rare cases, villains), that we are able to relate to. A key element why Kingdom Hearts resonates with so many people is not just the non-stop action but the passion behind the cast’s motivations.Ĭharacters like Sora and Roxas aren’t afraid to express their emotions: to cry, to scream, to love, to smile. The best Kingdom Hearts characters have a ton of personality, have been through hardship, or simply have powerful and exciting abilities that dynamically elevate the series’ battle scenes.
