Sora's Journey of Independence in Kingdom Hearts III

The Disney worlds in Kingdom Hearts III provided many developments that contributed to the main plot, such as the Organisation's experiments, or several revelations. However, these worlds also helped to develop one more important aspect of this incredible game.

These worlds acted as tests of strength and heart for the boy who journeyed through them; helping him to grow into a more independent person. Whether it was because of the Seekers of Darkness or the friends he made along the way, Kingdom Hearts III acted as a journey of independence for Sora.

Please note that this video is only 'Part Two.' The first video focuses on other reasons why I love Kingdom Hearts III's Disney worlds. You can find it here:
