Why does most Kingdom Hearts box art features characters in the sky?

Recommended Posts

It looks pretty. I do like the significance of the 'time of day' of each game, though.

 

It's nighttime in KH, which both references the starry sky of Traverse town, the first world Sora visits, and the night sky when Destiny Islands was destroyed. Also a reference to KHI arguably being the 'darkest' time, since it's taking place during Ansem's quest to destroy everything and 10 years after it all started.

 

It looks like dawn in Chain of Memories, which is a nice reference to both Riku's Keyblade and that he says he's on 'the road to dawn'.

 

358's is a sunset, self-explanatory.

 

KHII's looks like daytime, so the day after the last sunset. (Sora being day and Roxas being the sunset)

 

BBS looks cloudy though idk what the significance there might be.

 

And DDD is also either a sunset or sunrise, possibly both. Sunrise for Riku and sunset for Sora.

CoM is also relevant to Castle Oblivion itself, since it exists in the Realm Between. BBS's cloudiness matches the Keyblade Graveyard after Xehanort summons Kingdom Hearts

Ooh, nice observation you got there!  I never really paid the sky background any attention, as I thought it only served a cosmetic purpose...but knowing Nomura, he always makes things with meaning.  I think the sky symbolizes Sora, and how he's the sky that connects everyone's destinies, you know what I'm saying? :3

Maybe the true door to Kingdom Hearts is a sky in which you can walk on. Yeah, I'm just throwing my two cents here...
