SECRET OF MANA Fantasy II When »SECRET OF MANA« came out in 1993, few Westerners knew that it was meant to be the second part of a series called »Seiken Densetsu«.

Thinking of you, wherever you are. We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend. Now I will step forward to realize this wish. And who knows: Starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it has already begun. There are many worlds, but they share the same sky ­ one sky, one destiny. In times gone by there was a single world, a single sky, and all who lived there did so in the Light of Kingdom Hearts. Darkness, however, fell upon those peaceful times as people came to desire control over Kingdom Hearts. The ᵼ­Blade was formed to protect it, and Keyblades were made in its image by those who sought to take Kingdom Hearts by force. What followed was known as the Keyblade War, and ended with the ᵼ­Blade shattered, the world split into fragments cut off from one another, and Kingdom Hearts lost, seemingly forever. In the time since, most have forgotten that there are other worlds out there but their own, and only a scant few have had the power to travel between them. One of these beings, Xehanort, has performed uncountable dark deeds in his efforts to claim Kingdom Hearts, including the creation of the Heartless and, inadvertently, the Nobodies. Now these Heartless have discovered how to travel between worlds, and infiltrate the Keyholes guarding each world’s Heart.

  • The Theme Park Experience: Kingdom Hearts and the Franchise
    The theme park experience: Kingdom Hearts and the franchise Anh-Thu Nguyen University of Cologne Albertus-Magnus-Platz 50923 Cologne 0221 4705745 [email protected] Keywords Kingdom Hearts, Disney, Square Enix, convergence culture, transmedia, franchise, literary theory, tourist gaze INTRODUCTION When Henry Jenkins first spoke of convergence culture, he prophesised an increase in media companies exploring narrative universes, creating ways for the consumer to “buy into new kinds of experiences with those characters and those worlds” by “incorporating transmedia principles into their work.” (2006, 134-135) More than a decade later, his premonition on the expansion of media franchises certainly rings true with regards to the Marvel or Star Wars universe, whose narratives have been extended to cinema screens, comics or games. They are “entertainment for the age of media convergence, integrating multiple texts to create a narrative so large that it cannot be contained in a single medium.” (97) Although there are numerous sources that concern themselves with franchises in general, seldom is the subject of study a video game franchise. Hence, the on-going research takes the Kingdom Hearts (Square Enix 2002-2019) series as its primary study subject, in the context of a transnational collaboration between Disney and Japanese video game developer, Square Enix. The core questions concern themselves with franchise-building and transmedia storytelling, with an approach rooted in narrative theory to unravel the different layers of a video game franchise. THE CHARACTER AS A TOURIST Making sense of any media franchise is often challenging as the various texts holding the franchise together offer a substantial number of narrative arcs and any attempt to address those would divert from actual productive analysis.
