Kingdom Hearts fans have begun to choose Kingdom Hearts 4 reveal trailer to find clues with Sunday enthusiasm, notice details like the possibility of including a Star Wars world and Sora’s new sophisticated footwear selection. They also found the real-world luxury apartment building where Sora might be living in Tokyo, as the game’s “afterlife” Quadratum is actually a recreation of urban Japan.
Based on a number of crowdsourced investigations by people based in Tokyo Twitch streamer Audreyaka aitaikimochi, a self-described “Square Enix fangirl”, Sora seems to be very popular in Tokyo’s Aoyoma neighborhood. Aoyoma is the affluent and stylish part of town, and Sora’s rent is commensurate with the area. Audrey and her viewers dug what appears to be the actual apartment used as a model for Sora’s new digs, and it only costs about $2,000 a month to rent – about $1 million la if Sora wants to buy.
How did Audrey and her viewers track Sora’s location? By using the landmarks shown in Kingdom Hearts 4 trailers and Google Maps Street View, of course. The real-world apartment building they found was called Regno Raffine, and that’s your typical apartment building. Sora may have a one or two bedroom apartment, but the real draw is the balcony and all the natural sunlight that floods into it. The picture of sample unit of the building providing the best view of where Sora probably lived-Kingdom Hearts 3.
Of course, the building’s occupants might not appreciate how closely Square Enix and the Kingdom Hearts team recreated where they lived. Kingdom Hearts enthusiasts please don’t turn this luxury apartment complex into a pilgrimage site. Sora, unlike Donald Duck, is not real!
