The game serves as a prequel to [[Kingdom Hearts (game)|the first game]], taking place ten years before. The story focuses primarily on [[Terra]], [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]], three young Keybearers from before [[Sora]]'s generation, although the game also gives focus to the origins of Sora and [[Xehanort]], delving deep into the mysteries of Xehanort's bleak past and forgotten memories as well as how Sora and [[Riku]] came to wield the Keyblade in the first place.
