My God, the nostalgia! This is one of the reasons I love Kingdom Hearts so much. Everything is perfect in atmosphere and theme!
Whenever I hear this song I think of myself and how I've changed.
I used to be shy and kind of just laying low all the time waiting for someone else to take a hit for me.
Now I feel I've transformed into a confident maturing boy who is fueled almost. I I feel like Sora
Hear me out here, I'm not trying to ego-boost myself by saying I'm one of my favorite characters of all time (Which I adore characters like me because I feel a symbol of hope that I can go beyond what I've ever imagined doing) I feel like Sora because I was always challenged by my brother (Riku) feeling that he was always better than me and that I would always fall under his shadow. Though lately I've realized my true strength: my heart. Corny? Yes. Truthful? I assure you it is I've become a lot more caring for everybody else who isn't me. I'm considered weird for becoming aggravated when people say "gay" or "retard" in slang. I feel stronger like I can overcome any far obstacle and with aid by my friends, I can surpass any feat of evil that will hit me. My Kairi, as you've probably guessed, would be Miss Bianca
I'm not afraid of anybody, not anymore.
So in my case Kingdom Hearts is and allegory for Heaven ?







And ohmygosh, your icon.
And yes I have to agree with what your getting at. I fell for Kingdom Hearts at first because of how beautiful the graphics and the game play. But what makes me love it all the more is the, excuse the pun, the heart they placed in the game. As you said the general theme is in finding inner strength through yourself and the friends you make along the way.
Its why I still smile every time I play the game and what makes me look forward to the next game to come.
And for the record I've been listening to the song while. Peace out Goof
