STORY

In KINGDOM HEARTS, Sora turned the
Keyblade on himself in order to release Kairi’s heart, but his own heart was
also released in the process. This brought about the creation of Roxas, Sora’s
Nobody. Unlike most Nobodies, however, Roxas has no memories of his past. He
joins Organization XIII and slowly begins to discover the truth behind his
existence and the Organization itself. He meets and befriends the fourteenth
member of the Organization, who also has no recollection of her past. What will
Roxas see during his time in the Organization? What is the connection between
him, Sora and the fourteenth member? And what becomes of them? Dive into the
heart of the KINGDOM HEARTS storyline’s biggest secrets.
