On March 28th, 2002, Square Enix released Kingdom Hearts on the PlayStation 2 in Japan. The concept seemed like it might be a hard sell for audiences; a video game combining the worlds of Final Fantasy and Disney seemed unusual to say the least! In the 19 years since however, the franchise has sold more than 30 million copies, spawning direct sequels and a number of side games across multiple platforms. It remains to be seen what the future will hold for the series, but with the 20th anniversary coming up next year, it wouldn't be surprising to see something new announced in the near future!

Given the immense popularity of the series, it should come as little surprise that many fans have taken to social media to share their love for the series. Of course, Square Enix also took the opportunity to thank fans for their passion for the franchise!
