'''''Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep''''' is a prequel to the ''[[Kingdom Hearts]]'' series set 10 years before the first game. The game's story focuses on the efforts of the three main characters--that is, Terra, Ven, and Aqua--to find the missing Keyblade master, Master Xehanort, and his apprentice, Vanitas. The story is split into three separate scenarios, each focusing on one of the characters' efforts to locate Master Xehanort and Vanitas. While the characters will be alone most of the time during their journey, there will be times when the characters' paths will cross (a storytelling gimmick previously used by Squaresoft in ''[[Treasure of the Rudra]]'' and ''[[Threads of Fate]]'').
 
All three of the characters are equally important story-wise. The game focuses on several main themes such as Ven's identity and connection with Sora as well as the mystery behind the memories of the original series' primary villain, Xehanort. Each character's story takes between 8 and 15 hours plus additional prologue and epilogue chapters, for a total of at least 30 hours of gameplay.
 
The player can play the three different routes in any order they so choose, but the recommended route (and the route that makes the most sense story-wise) is Terra, Ventus, then Aqua.

* [[Aborted Arc]]: What kick-starts the plot is the rise of the Unversed and the threat they pose to the Princesses of Heart. The three worlds with the Princesses are visited first, but once you hit Radiant Garden they're forgotten and subsequent worlds focus solely on fighting the Unversed. Fittingly, Radiant Garden is where the three begin to follow their own agendas. Terra {{spoiler|believes himself a failure and is charmed into becoming Xehanort's apprentice}}. Thereafter, he's focused on trying to find Vanitas and put an end to him. Ventus never had the mission, and is intent on finding Terra, and Aqua is essentially scrambling to find the both of them and keep them together.
* [[Absurdly High Level Cap]]: The game contains the standard level 99 cap. Just playing normally without any [[Level Grinding]] will have you beating each character's story with their levels in the ''30s''. This results in it being very easy to be over-leveled without realizing it -- if you backtrack through the worlds to get the items you missed, you may end up being around Level 40 or higher, at which point most of the final bosses are incredibly easy to beat.
Line 468:
** During Terra's story, Master Xehanort preaches the virtues of this idea to him, telling him that Eraqus's complete opposition of darkness is as bad as succumbing to darkness, and that the proper way to protect the worlds is to wield both in equal measure. {{spoiler|He's full of crap. He just wants to get Terra to give into the darkness and feeds him this line of thought to encourage him down that road. There may be some truth behind what he's saying, but as they say, the best lies are the ones made out of truth.}}
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: Aqua.
