    "Alkahest"s original upload of this video was over a decade old and had nearly 11 million views. There were hundreds, if not, thousands of stories, memories and tales told by the people in the comment section.
    Seeing his channel disabled and all the videos being taken down with it, made me really sad. His extensions were always with me in hard and sad times.
    Even if this reupload cannot replace the beautiful comments that were once written, it carries the memories of them...
    Thank you Alkahest, for your extension, and the memories you provided, and made. Thank you Yoko Shimomura, for composing this beatiful track.
    The audio belongs to Square Enix. I don't own anything. This video was uploaded for promotional purposes. I do not make any money out of the video.

      KH2 originally released my junior year of high school. I’m now 31 and still find this OST a pillar in my life. It really is special. I can barely put it in words. It’s so powerful to see how this game affected so many people the way it did myself.

      This game had a monumental effect on my life and I am forever grateful for it's existence cause it was in a tough period and because of this despite it's rough dated edges at times from the time it was made, Kingdom Hearts 2 is my ultimate comfort game to me alongside Final Fantasy 10.

    I've lived alone for a full year now. This entire time I felt like I didn't exist. I may as well have been a Nobody. But I was contacted by an old friend who thanked me for caring for them and saving them from being taken advantage of. This person is now thriving in college on their way to make something of themselves. To anyone reading this, don't dismiss your impact on people's lives. Realize your worth, and you'll see a world of opportunities

The relationship I have with this music is so deep I’m not even able to explain. I can just see all my life, like a movie playing in front of me. Kingdom Hearts is one of the greatest things in my life. This game saved me, it saves me everyday and it gave me so much beauty that I wish everyone could experience. This franchise is my heart and my soul, and I’m thankful for this every single day of my life. I grew up with this story and I’ll cherish it forever. Thanks Kingdom Hearts, just thanks ❤️.

    My exwife loved the KH series. Though I lost her in the end, Ill always love the woman I fell in love with and married before she became someone else and abandoned our marriage. Ill always remember what I had with her, even if it wasnt always good and didnt last, nor was it meant to.
    My only hope is that there is one more out there, one to forever wipe away the pain and allow us to have a better future than the past. Its the one of only two things that keeps me going anymore, besides video games and all the joys the y have always brought me.
    I send this message to my future love out there. I am here, I am waiting.

I remember how much he redeemed himself by being involved with me and my siblings after not being there for my dad and uncle. So he lives on in me by valuing family and keeping the connections alive.

    Dear Kingdom Hearts,
    I'm writing to express my deepest gratitude for everything you've done for me. When I was a kid, I was bullied and felt like I didn't have any friends. But then I discovered your game, and everything changed.
    Through your story and characters, I learned about the power of friendship and the importance of believing in myself. I felt like I was part of something bigger than myself, and that gave me the strength to keep going.
    I can't even imagine where I would be today if I hadn't found you. You showed me that no matter how dark things may seem, there's always hope. You gave me a reason to believe in myself and the people around me.
    So thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for saving my life and showing me the true power of friendship.
    Sincerely,
    Me ❤

    It's odd, to be filled with such Nostalgia so early in life. You hear so often as you grow up of how it'll feel, traces of experience, muddled with time and yet fondly remembered nonetheless.
    The melancholy, I didn't expect it tonight.
    But, I have so much more life to live. I'm only 22. Recently diagnosed and medicated for a disorder I'd only heard about a year ago. Things make sense now, I feel in control like never before.
    And yet, I look back here, this music thawing my disjointed memories and reminding me of the person I was. I see that kid, lost and scared, stumbling about in the dark on his own despite knowing deep down something was wrong.
    He didn't give up. It came close a few times, it really did but at every opportunity, he chose to be better. To be that stubborn little bastard he'd seen on TV and Video Games.
    And now, I lay here at night, turning to the next chapter.
    I'm learning to drive again, learning to relax, got a new job and I've even got a tentative plan for the future, even if it means starting over again. I'm still that kid but I wouldn't be where I am without the little guy who found peace in this Title Screen, in this game.
    The past fills me with a soft sorrow and a warm peace in equal measure, and yet the future calls out to me, the future that little kid had always wanted. I'll take it in both hands and make him proud. I'll add to this collection of disjointed memories. I'll add the laughter, joy, love, excitement, pain, peace and perseverance of a lifetime as the man I've always wanted to be.

      Saudade - an emotional state of melancholic or profoundly nostalgic longing for a beloved yet absent something or someone. It derives from the Latin word for solitude. It is often associated with a repressed understanding that one might never encounter the object of longing ever again. It is a recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events, often elusive, that cause a sense of separation from the exciting, pleasant, or joyous sensations they once caused.

Kingdom Hearts 2 was a game that my brother and i liked to play it, since it was a birthday present from him. i always remember the times with my father, they will never come back, but it brings back the good father-son times we had which just makes me cry every time i play it.

Not only was Alkahest’s extension of Dearly Beloved II my introduction to Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy, but it was also always there for me when I was sad or when I just felt like listening to this beautiful song (Everyday, basically).
    The funny thing is, I’ve bought KH2’s Soundtrack on CD but somehow listening to it on there just doesn’t feel the same as Alkahest’s video, even though it’s still the same song.

    This song reminds me of my childhood friend, going to her house and playing it for the first time. Conversations on the bus ride home about Sora. It all reminds me of back then, the laughs and the phone calls about where we were in the game and the plans we had to cosplay the characters one day.
    Life threw us in different directions, and we never got to keep those plans, but I treasure all the memories and nostalgia the game has given me.
    This song is bitter sweet to me, and although it calms me down, it melts around me in a sea of sorrow and joy, showing all the old scattered memories of my childhood with it.
    The characters mean so much to me, I grew up with them all, and their journey

    The KH openings hit me so hard when I finished the first game. I saved the galaxy, but somehow my dearest beloved Kairi slipped away from me. The sense of loss and hope this music brings is astounding. A decade after finishing that game I am trying to remember my mom. Today would have been her birthday. So much has happened since she passed and I remember so little about my childhood that I have no idea what she'd even think of me, if she'd be proud of me, etc. Gaming and music were hobbies that she shared with me, and I'm grasping at everything I can to honor her memory for her birthday. And now the tears just won't stop.

    This song helped me get over my first real love of 2 years when I was in college. It was so painful letting her go, but the gentle waves reminding me that Sora, Mickey and Donald were there to get me through. Now over 10 years later it's helping me get through another painful breakup with my ex fiancé. I grew up playing KH1 when I was about 13 in 2003 I want to say 6th or 7th grade.

    I remember watching my older cousins play Kingdom Hearts when I was a little kid. It wasn't until I had my own console and bought the game a few years ago, did I finally understand why people love this franchise. I had no idea that just by playing a simple game, my whole outlook on life would change.
    Light. Darkness. Heart. Friendship. Dreams. Hope. Destiny
    I learned it all through the adventure of a boy who simply wished to explore the worlds outside of his own. He and I both went on that journey together, and together we both went through the light and darkness. We both learned of the power that dwells within our hearts. We laughed. We cried. We did it all.
    May your heart be your guiding key, my dearest friends

    This game is so special to me. Everytime I boot up KH2, my late brother was always watching me play, like he was my only audience behind me while playing KH2. Thanks to this game our bond became so much stronger. Not until he passed away few years ago, his death hit me hard to the point I lost interest in this series. I tried avoiding things that made me remember him, including avoiding playing KH because it reminds me of him. Because everytime I remember that he's gone and he will never be my audience again while playing KH, I feel so depressed.
    Until KH4 was announced, I was so happy and excited for the upcoming game! My love for this series came back eventually. The more I avoid things that makes me remember him, the more it comes back at me naturally. I feel like my brother's spirit still lingers in me and still guides me wherever I go. The memories we had with this game is the one keeps me moving forward. When I heard this song for the first time again I teared up.

    Please never let this version of Dearly Beloved die. This version is by far my favorite. It's so much fuller and more emotional than any other version. Maybe it is partially because of the memories I have with it, I don't think so though. Musically speaking it's just amazing. The accents, tempo, musical expression, instrument balance... everything.
    I have a lot of mental issues, and this version basically got me through high school. I would listen to it for hours on end, and still do when I need to feel some peace. The only other song I can compare to this that I know is The Journey (Destiny 2) by the Kronos Quartet.

    I’m 15 yo and I’ve been knowing about kingdom hearts for a very little time, and this game is what I’ve always needed for my entire life, the emotions that I’m feeling are filling a hole that I have been having since I was a kid. I’ve many interests and some of them literally saved my life, but this game, I can’t even explain what I feel, it makes me feel like a kid more than I’ve ever felt in my life. I just wish I had known about kh when I was little, I wouldn’t have lived many years of my life in pain, it would have been perfect to see the game for the first time in a shop and start playing it completely blind on the story, the characters and the songs. But I think that as a girl with no older sister and brothers and with nobody that would have introduced me to this, it’s a fair trade, the most important thing is that I can enjoy this game. Now I feel complete and I can be a child forever. Thank you.

    These songs that KH has just hurts the feels so much, but they are easily the most beautiful music of all time. No, the best music of all time (with others that can compete, but few can outshine KH).

    I'm turning 27 this year. Being suicidal, never thought back then I would make it so far. I wanted to unalive myself while listening to this, to finally find peace and be free.
    Now here I am, having not played any of the games for years, as an adult, listening to this. Echoing of times long gone.. I'm crying again.. But it feels cathartic now. All my selves are crying, but the little ones are not alone and scared anymore.
    Dearly beloved indeed. Thank you Yoko Shimomura 🤍

It's dark and the only light is coming from my small miniature box tv, that pretty melody and gorgeous art slowing showing up as the game is first turned on. I will never let this memory go cause i don't feel quite as much as i use to, videos games now feel like a dream compared to when i was younger.

    This music touched my heart in the most peculiar way as a small boy and even now, I have no way to describe what that feeling is. Maybe a strange longing for something a little more, a little bit of comfort and understanding. This soundtrack made me realise there is a soul and it exist in all of us and even though I didnt grasp the ridiculous complexity of the KH storyline it left a lingering idea in my heart and it was hummanity, love, the beauty of bonds and friendship and how even in death thats all that ever mattered was the people we loved and those who cared for us. If god gave me the chace I'd die for the ones I love and to only make the world a greater place I'd happily sacrifice myself. This song reminds me of my hummanity.
