Kingdom Hearts co-creator Tetsuya Nomura recently shared some insight into the creation of the epic RPG series, including the fact that he wasnt present during the fateful elevator ride that started it all. The magical worlds of Disney and Final Fantasy first collided in the original Kingdom Hearts back in 2002, which followed a young boy named Sora as he teamed up with Donald Duck and Goofy to find his lost friends and defeat an evil force threatening various Disney universes. The game would become a major success on the PlayStation 2, spawning a series that continues to this day.
