My top 5 Kingdom Hearts facts

With Kingdom Hearts 3 getting closer and closer with every single day, I thought today I would count down the five most interesting facts about Kingdom Hearts itself. And by that, I mean the interesting facts behind it and stuff like that. I've heard so many things about the behind the scenes of the franchise and even the more obvious stuff to do with it as well, so I wanted to make this list counting down the best and most interesting facts around it. And so, let's begin and I hope you all like this.
5. Dream Drop Distance was the 10th anniversary: Starting us off is the most obvious on this and that's the fact that Dream Drop Distance was made in 2012, as in 10 years since the first one was made. With that happening, the people behind it wanted to make something really special. And they of course did by making that amazing game, but they also included something in the game if you got it at a certain time at the time of it's release. An by that I mean they included, like, these pin things and other things like that. I think that that was cool and just the fact that they reached a 10th year is really something.
4. Kingdom Hearts 2 and Dream Drop Distance are the only Kingdom Hearts games to win any awards: Probably not a huge thing to point out, but it's still pretty cool to me that the Kingdom Hearts games, while not the popular games ever, even though I wish they were, are still well received by hundreds of people all over the world. And so the fact that a couple o them have won awards. Kingdom Hearts 2 won the award for Outstanding Game Based on a Previous Medium, and Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance won the award for Best Vocal Ensemble in a Video Game. And that's awesome. They're the best Kingdom Hearts games so they should win awards.
3. Kingdom Hearts 0.2 and Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the only Kingdom Hearts games so far to be made in the Unreal Engine 4: One of the biggest differences between all the previous Kingdom Hearts games before Kingdom Hearts 0.2 and now 3 is that they were never made in the Unreal Engine 4. But now 0.2 already has and Kingdom Hearts 3 will be too. And the Unreal Engine is amazing. The graphics it's making for the games so far look like the best graphics I've ever seen in a video game. And so when Kingdom Hearts 3 does come out, I can't wait to see how terrific they look.
2. Sora was supposed to look like Mickey Mouse: Now we get into the super, super interesting facts about it. So, you're never going to believe this. So apparently before the game ever started being made, Square Enix wanted to make Mickey Mouse be the main character and Disney wanted Donald  to be the main character, but then Tetsuya Nomura decided to make up a new character who was reminiscent of Mickey in a way. So, that's how Sora was created and in the first game, his clothes looked like Mickey's.

See with the red baggy pants, the white gloves and the big yellow shoes. And so yeah, I think that was a pretty cool move to make on Nomura's part.
And the number 1 biggest Kingdom Hearts fact is... The plan for Kingdom Hearts came from a talk in an elevator: This might be a huge shock to you if you've never heard about it, but this did actually happen. Apparently how Kingdom Hearts happened was a Disney executive and a Square Enix producer were in an elevator together and when they were, they thought of an idea together to make a game that included Final Fantasy characters and Disney characters. And, while that may have seemed strange by saying it back then, that one conversation turned into an amazing franchise that a lot of people have loved for many years, myself included. And it's so strange that this entire thing started from just two people from both companies talking inside an elevator and this happening even after all these years. And so everyone, those are my pick for the top 5 Kingdom Hearts facts. Thank you all for reading and please comment down below to tell me what you think.
