I recently noticed this lately.

Why are they in the sky? Is it supposed to mean something? Or just looking cool?

Because they're...

 

 

in the sky

 

*ifyouknowwhatimean*

because of the constant themes of exploring new places, which the sky represents, especially in KH where the sky is full of new worlds to explore

Well Sora means Sky in japanese, that might have something to do with it

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.

"One world, one SKY"

That's all I got... I just assumed they did it because it looked pretty. 

Because Sora is the main Protagonist of the Kingdom Hearts series so that's why we see characters in the sky on the box arts. Sora means sky in Japanese.

Either way, I think the KH2FM box art is the best out of them all

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

The first one too.

To make it look cool. Just Kidding the game boxart it's just it's theme that's all.

because they all fell from heaven bby

The sky is the limit, so I guess they can't go any further.

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?

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...
