Despite instances of mild censorship breaks, the ''Kingdom Hearts'' series keeps a majority of its content "child-friendly". It refrains from using profanity and making sexual references, as well as from dressing its female characters in revealing outfits. While these elements are common in the ''Final Fantasy'' series, ''Kingdom Hearts'' prides itself on maintaining Disney's values. Death and suicide are also not treated realistically in the series, often with characters disappearing, dying off-screen, being revived later, etc.
