14 years...this remix was made when I was half my curreny age...and I still come back to it. And it hurts every time. What a beautiful remix. What memories I have associated with it.
+Brandon Marsh Technically Xion or Roxas had to die. Neither could exist unless the other died. An I thought technically Roxa's final fight was with Sora?
+Jacob Triplett It was. The only reason Roxas appeared in Dream Drop Distance, is because Sora was traversing through his deepest dreams and since Roxas is connected to Sora, he appeared.
+Jacob Triplett Roxas and Xion kind of both belonged to Sora, in a sense. This fight is basically you fighting yourself. After all, Xion was meant to absorb Roxas's power. That's why she can wield a key blade. All the missions she went with you on was that so she could absorb your power. In the process she also absorbed Sora/Roxas' memories. So technically, you're fighting Sora, who in turn is you, who is basically Sora. So yeah, you're fighting a female Sora. Confused? so am I xD
He also fought Riku who was technically his best friend since Roxas technically is Sora. After that fight, Riku gave up his identity and essentially 'died'.
Son of a Shepherd Everyone please upvote this. I just stumbled across this. With the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra soon it would be nice to have a high quality alternative style. Please rerecord this in higher quality! This is AMAZING work!
This fits the cover art so well. So emo. So tragic. So childlike. Memories of bygone anime trends and the golden age of canadian action animation. They don't make them like they used to. And they should. Someday, I will make these things anew. I swear, on Sora's sacrifice!
I've been listening to this for the past 8 years or so and just now I realized I never hit the like button, damn, also, we need a higher quality version of this
I believe you capture the essence of Xion's battle with Roxas here. Its Fercious and unrelenting, but sad at its core. It really has a sense of finality and farewell at the slower parts, like the battle has to be fought but both don't want to hurt the other. You really can't picture the fight taking place anywhere else besides at sunset, high in the air. It's not the original, but it's a completely different song, and it's good. This is my favorite of your work. Good Job.
Sasuke...i have to say that this is my favorite remix of yours. This is just beautiful. You managed to keep all of the original's emotion and not just turn it into a hardcore version of the original. IMO this is the best of all of your remixes.
I've spotted someone trying to re-upload this remix and claim it as theirs. I have a problem with that. As soon as I finish leaving this comment here, I'm gonna go tell them off with a comment on their video. I think it would be good if I had some back-up. Could anyone who sees this comment here while it's less than a week old please click the link I post, give my telling-them-off comment a thumb up and maybe even post a comment of your own to further back me up? I don't want this re-uploader's shot at trying to become known for no good reason to have the slightest chance of actually working. Kingdom Hearts Vector to the Heavens Remix I'm not 100% sure about TH-cam's policy around re-uploads of unofficial remixes of songs from video games, otherwise I would've just hit the "report" button and been done with it. If any of you who see this do know of a way to officially get this re-uploader in trouble, please do so.
I know it is 3 years later, but I came across this song again and found this comment. So, I feel like I should address it. The person that uploaded it was me and I was acting stupid. I was somewhat young at the time and thought, "this is so cool, I want to upload it and get everyone else to think I'm cool too!" or some stupid shit like that. It was quite idiotic and I realized that almost immediately, especially when I saw a comment on the video concerning the reupload. I immediately took down the video afterward. Even to this day, I still cringe whenever I hear this song because of that memory. Thank you for doing the right thing back then because if you hadn't, it might've been someone else at a later time to point it out and I would have gotten in major trouble. I suppose I deserve that major trouble though lol.
its things like this that make me wish Kingdom Hearts would never end. its just so emotional and captivating. the depth and intrigue in the series makes you feel something...strong. to those who havent played, it just sounds like overdramatic babble, but its true. its just so deep and draws you in with such a heartfelt connection to the characters and their struggles. you fall in love so deeply, and thats why when the series comes to an end, ill be an emotional, sobbing wreck for weeks. KH
+Wofl Man Well, if it works like the game did. Then you customize it with keychains. Which you could get from other people... Sooo, you can beat the shit out of others and take their keychains, or presumably make them
A friend of mine who made his own little animation series and used this at the ending brought me here. I'm glad he gave credit and linked to you. This remix sounds amazing~
Seriously, despite "Who else will I eat ice-cream with?" Xions death is still one of the saddest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series for me and I still feel bad for her and even nearly shed a tear for her. Or at least Axel and Roxas.
Woo, blown away :) Good job. Wish the quality were a little clearer, but this is awesome...takes an epic tragic song and turns it into something intense.
Roxas's tragedy is like taking time poison without actually knowing it...and then suffering when you do find out. Xion's is like...stabbing yourself in the heart multiple times purposely so somebody else can live their life. Dammit, Sora. How many people have to have their lives ruined for you?
Hey! I am currently working on a research video on the history of Vector to the Heavens fan arrangements. I would like to ask if it would be alright to talk about yours briefly, possible connections it might have to other arrangements, and present a brief part of your video in it. Thank you!
This song really makes me want to cry, there's the epicness of "this is something I have do to" but at the same time there's the underline calmness and tragedy as if remembering their memories together. If that made sense.
I'm not sure whether or not any of the data characters in Re:Coded are really all that accurate to their originals, so I can't say. I'd say Roxas should be more skilled and experienced than Sora, he spends a year or so daily running around killing heartless and other enemies while Sora was fighting around the worlds for a couple months at best and then spends a year asleep. I think Sora won because of main character syndrome. The main character always wins, no matter how little sense it makes.
Well, I think Roxas has more potential, just due to having Ventus' heart, who'm was a very fast, agile and strong swordsman for his age, Sora is really gentle, fast and agile too, yet roxas has the upper hand due to the fact he learned how to dual wield, that gave him an advantage because he can attack from 2 directions at once, but Sora has the ability to summon back his Keyblade if it's taken, wich is what caught Roxas off-gaurd and got him to lose.. Atleast that's my opinion about it.
After having this on my playlist forever, I just recently discovered how amazing all your other remixes are. I have subscribed and give a thumbs up to all your remixes. Keep up the excellent work!!
Slight? I agree though. I love how you can tell it's still tragic but it's intense now...The original version has a epic sound full of tragedy and finality while this one is more like an intense, tragic battle.
I think some people are looking at things wrongs. Being a strong keyblader is certainly important and Sora probably isn't the strongest in that area. No, what matters in Kingdom Hearts is of course the heart. Sora has the strongest heart. That's why he's the main character, that's why he's the one meant to save everyone.
Dancing Wind Sora's heart being TOO pure is kinda the problem with him. He barely has any darkness in him and doesn't use what he does have willingly, so he has no damned clue how to really resist it when the Organization boosts that darkness massively. Sora doesn't so much as give in as be overwhelmed.
To make something clear: Almost everything Sora learned in KH1 and CoM was self-thaught. He didn't have years of training like Ven or a proper introduction to magic and combat and missions every day like Roxas. Sora was just given a keyblade and he fought the heartless wothout any experience, which shows that Sora is a natural with the keyblade. He has the greatest potential out of the three, and even if he is the weakest now (which is not sure after 3D), he will surpass them by the time of KH3
first with got ventus, aqua and terra , then sora kairi and riku , final roxas , xion and axel , ther always a 3 friend ship members on KH main stories , thats why the iluminaties and reptilians are behind of disney ands squere enix , thats why they never give us a Kingomd hearts 3 its a conspiracy becoaus thats have a 3 in the title D: thats always a 1.5 and 2.5 , even a 2.8 but never a 3..... that already hapen in the pass with Half life 3 D: DEEEEM U REPTILIANS AND ILUMINATIES!!! just give us the games xD
It's the opposite. Roxas allowed what was happening make him angry, while Sora never once allowed the harrowing events change his ways or outlook on life. And despite using two keyblades Roxas lost to Sora who wields one. Also, he only wields two due to his connection to Sora and Ventus, which I won't spoil.
Sorry, i can`t coment before, but i heard this a hundred times. Man, your remixs are the best. sasukeshika fan!!! Kingdom Hearts it`s the best game!!! And this are the best Kingdom Hearts remixs!!! Excuse my english, i`m from Chile.

Clocking 10 years and this is still the best remix to this delightful battle theme.
Andre O'Brien Month-wise, not yet, but I have a feeling this statement will still be correct.
ten years and i'm drawn back here
hhhhhheh
Can’t believe it’s been *that* long
Re:Mind says "NO"
@@Wizard_Pikachu remind can suck off
This remix is a monument to both old TH-cam and my childhood, old internet really was peak
After 5 years this is still the best remix of this song on youtube
Yea, i am agreed with you ;)
yup
FUCK I REALLY WANT THIS GUY TO GO UP BE BETTER HAVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS BUT HOW CAN I DO IT :(
Drakkan :3
Probably a spanish surname
14 years...this remix was made when I was half my curreny age...and I still come back to it.
And it hurts every time. What a beautiful remix. What memories I have associated with it.
Holy shit. 10 years and this STILL IS THE BETTER VERSION OF THEM ALL
There's just something about battles themes that use motifs from the main theme of the series that makes them mean so much more
Well Xion's battle wasn't just a simple battle to begin with...
Just wanted to say that vector to the heavens is now canonically rock cause kh3 :)
Yep:)
Agreed
@Sophie ok rock police, thanks for letting know
I've been listening to this since I was about 12 years old. I'm now 19 and still come back to this because it's just so awesome
Holy shit same here
2009 squad :,)
Facts
Yeah listening to this remix years later and it still fucks
Friendly reminder: Roxas's final battles were with both of his best friends and he's the reason why they died in the first place.
At least we still have Lea :D
+Brandon Marsh
Technically Xion or Roxas had to die. Neither could exist unless the other died. An I thought technically Roxa's final fight was with Sora?

Confused? so am I xD
He also fought Riku who was technically his best friend since Roxas technically is Sora. After that fight, Riku gave up his identity and essentially 'died'.
Do you have any desire to remake this in higher quality? Probably my favorite cover from you, it would be greatly appreciated :)
Son of a Shepherd Everyone please upvote this. I just stumbled across this. With the Kingdom Hearts Orchestra soon it would be nice to have a high quality alternative style. Please rerecord this in higher quality! This is AMAZING work!
Agreed.
That passage from 2:58 to 3:38 is extraordinary.
I hope this person became professional...
I'm back here for the first time in 10 years.
This game is so sad and amazing.
I agree.
+Hitagi Senjougahara it made me cry
12 years later and still the best remix.
Nearly 13 years later [Ha!] and this still brings the feels and hype 😭👏
This fits the cover art so well.
So emo.
So tragic.
So childlike.
Memories of bygone anime trends and the golden age of canadian action animation.
They don't make them like they used to. And they should.
Someday, I will make these things anew. I swear, on Sora's sacrifice!
almost pushing 15 years, how we feeling today?? 🎉🔥
I've been listening to this for the past 8 years or so and just now I realized I never hit the like button, damn, also, we need a higher quality version of this
To this day this remains the best remix of this song on TH-cam.
I believe you capture the essence of Xion's battle with Roxas here. Its Fercious and unrelenting, but sad at its core. It really has a sense of finality and farewell at the slower parts, like the battle has to be fought but both don't want to hurt the other.

14 years ago I first heard this. This song still rings strongly in my heart.
Kingdom hearts warriors.
Make it happen koei techmo and square enix.
One of the best remixes of this song out there.
This was the saddest fight I've ever had in a video game. I literally had tears streaming while fighting her.
Me too! I had to pause it cuz I was crying too hard, couldn’t see the screen lol.
@@ahsatxn yes! The best kind of boss fights!
Glad to return to this after so long. Still the best remix of this song.
Hands down, this is the best Xion's Theme remix existing. Thank you so much for making this awesome remix! :D
+Umaima M. It is realy one of the best, the other two are "Virydia Remix" and the Remix from Medasin on Lizz's Channel
please dont ever take this down, here a decade later and loving it
Dang, found this because of a Xion in smash mod video, this song is unironically a banger. To think this is 13 years old...
Sasuke...i have to say that this is my favorite remix of yours. This is just beautiful. You managed to keep all of the original's emotion and not just turn it into a hardcore version of the original. IMO this is the best of all of your remixes.

@@denksnek3726 that is quite possibly one of the most beautiful comments I have seen today
This is forever the best remix of this
And this remix won't be forgotten for sure this time. No more moments where one have to sacrifice themselves and be forgotten anymore.
Man, it’s been 14 years and this is still the best remix of Vector to the Heavens.
Man the best remix out of them all I swear!!!
still one of the best KH content

Its nice coming back to my childhood, thank you sasukeshika
3:08-3:25 just hits different.
It really does though! :)
I love this
Man remixes back then were so much better than the ones I see these days. Great job, dude.
Kind of agree
AHA! Finally found your channel again! Took so long to find my favorite tunes~!
Data Xion's theme in kh3 sounds somewhat similar...
I hope it was inspired by this
almost 7 years, and its still my favorite remix of all
Fiery Slayer yep me too I love this but tbh I almost forgot about I just remembered it like 5 minutes ago
I've always dreamed of being a keyblade wielder...... ^.^
it would be awesome wouldn't it, to have a keyblade, especially like in the game, upgrading it and changing its form
I just tape my house keys to the end of a stick and start whacking people's shadows with it as I pass them. Close enough.
+Wofl Man Well, if it works like the game did. Then you customize it with keychains. Which you could get from other people... Sooo, you can beat the shit out of others and take their keychains, or presumably make them
Would you be a single blader or a double blader like Roxas
Same
A friend of mine who made his own little animation series and used this at the ending brought me here.
I'm glad he gave credit and linked to you. This remix sounds amazing~
Seriously, despite "Who else will I eat ice-cream with?" Xions death is still one of the saddest moments in the Kingdom Hearts series for me and I still feel bad for her and even nearly shed a tear for her. Or at least Axel and Roxas.
At least KH3 fixed that
It was meant like who else will be my friend. It's implied. Regardless, now they're together again 😢😢😢😊
I like that line.
It shows we're dealing with children here.
Woo, blown away :) Good job. Wish the quality were a little clearer, but this is awesome...takes an epic tragic song and turns it into something intense.
Roxas's tragedy is like taking time poison without actually knowing it...and then suffering when you do find out.
Xion's is like...stabbing yourself in the heart multiple times purposely so somebody else can live their life.
Dammit, Sora. How many people have to have their lives ruined for you?
Wow, just wow. I usually don't like remixes, but . . . two thumbs up. This was awesome.

It's been 10 years since this masterpiece was made and I still love it so, so much. 💘💘
Imagine this being the kh3 data battle theme for xion instead of the one now
This song really makes me want to cry, there's the epicness of "this is something I have do to" but at the same time there's the underline calmness and tragedy as if remembering their memories together. If that made sense.
bro this STILL slaps hard af
This has to be the most epic musical score I've ever heard. Someone needs to hire you fast.
I'm not sure whether or not any of the data characters in Re:Coded are really all that accurate to their originals, so I can't say.
I'd say Roxas should be more skilled and experienced than Sora, he spends a year or so daily running around killing heartless and other enemies while Sora was fighting around the worlds for a couple months at best and then spends a year asleep.
I think Sora won because of main character syndrome. The main character always wins, no matter how little sense it makes.
Imma stream this until it hits 1M views. This masterpiece deserves it.
Well, I think Roxas has more potential, just due to having Ventus' heart, who'm was a very fast, agile and strong swordsman for his age, Sora is really gentle, fast and agile too, yet roxas has the upper hand due to the fact he learned how to dual wield, that gave him an advantage because he can attack from 2 directions at once, but Sora has the ability to summon back his Keyblade if it's taken, wich is what caught Roxas off-gaurd and got him to lose.. Atleast that's my opinion about it.
You're my hero for making the most badass boss theme ever an absolute perfection
i farted....this is awesome
fantastic ending. the way it screams out at you with the guitar and the strings is really cool.
This is still better than any version of this theme Square Enix have released over the years
Yeah. But the Re:Mind version comes VERY close.
After having this on my playlist forever, I just recently discovered how amazing all your other remixes are. I have subscribed and give a thumbs up to all your remixes. Keep up the excellent work!!
Who's that girl on the left side?
Her name is Xion... Probably the saddest KH character ever...
Panos Spathatas Yes..
Who's Xion? I don't remember her from 358/2 days AT ALL.
GugomoGames I see what you did there.
Panos Spathatas
There's no Xion in Kingdom Hearts. Days only has two main protagonists; Roxas and Axel. She's probably someone's FC or something...
Slight? I agree though. I love how you can tell it's still tragic but it's intense now...The original version has a epic sound full of tragedy and finality while this one is more like an intense, tragic battle.
I love how it retains the sound quality of the original DS version

I think some people are looking at things wrongs. Being a strong keyblader is certainly important and Sora probably isn't the strongest in that area. No, what matters in Kingdom Hearts is of course the heart. Sora has the strongest heart. That's why he's the main character, that's why he's the one meant to save everyone.
I find it perfect that even though yes, Sora has the strongest heart, he still can give into darkness. He ain't no princess! XD
Sora may not be the strongest keyblade wielder... but he has certainly mastered the use of hair gel...
Dancing Wind Sora's heart being TOO pure is kinda the problem with him. He barely has any darkness in him and doesn't use what he does have willingly, so he has no damned clue how to really resist it when the Organization boosts that darkness massively. Sora doesn't so much as give in as be overwhelmed.
he may have the strongest heart however KH DDD showed us he doesnt know how to Balance it, which could lead to problems for him.
I'll believe that SORA will save us when he stops swinging it around like a pool noodle and uses the keyblade like a sword
To make something clear: Almost everything Sora learned in KH1 and CoM was self-thaught. He didn't have years of training like Ven or a proper introduction to magic and combat and missions every day like Roxas. Sora was just given a keyblade and he fought the heartless wothout any experience, which shows that Sora is a natural with the keyblade. He has the greatest potential out of the three, and even if he is the weakest now (which is not sure after 3D), he will surpass them by the time of KH3

Adrian de la Paz are you sure youre speaking english?
I had a stroke trying to read this
a beautiful remix to one of the game's most dramatic boss battles =)
I don't like Kingdom Hearts but... Once Upon The End...
It depends on how Disney is doing it
"once upon the end"?
What do you mean?
without doubt the best remix
They Shoulda used this in kh3
This song was the perfect finale to one of my favorite games. Such an emotional theme for the emotional end of an emotional character.
well roxas is more skilled than sora he uses dual keyblades and hes more tough so roxas is more skilled than sora know what i mean
It's the opposite. Roxas allowed what was happening make him angry, while Sora never once allowed the harrowing events change his ways or outlook on life. And despite using two keyblades Roxas lost to Sora who wields one. Also, he only wields two due to his connection to Sora and Ventus, which I won't spoil.
i know i can agree on that it would have been awesome playing as roxas with dual swords
UltimateDragonMaster "swords"...bro we know how credible you're opinion is now x)
well i do have a lot of game ideas ;)
UltimateDragonMaster
He sort of was insulting you. He said "swords" because Keyblades are essentially swords but most are more mace-like.
Thank you for uploading this!
You are so awesome, just like this song!
kingdom hearts sucks but yoko shimomura does not disappoint
Your comments indicate you're a very conflicted person.
11 years and this theme still hits different
One of the best remixes to a KH song
But she holds a place in some of our hearts! And judging that you play this series, you KNOW the power the heart holds!
...and just when i thought this song couldn't get any more sad yet crazy awesome... seriously... LUV THIS!
This kept all the sadness of the original whilst making it all the more epic.
Another great job.
=)
sasukeshika U R THE BEST 4 PUTTING THAT LINK UP THANK U!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Went down every KH song you had, some originals, some FF and Zelda ones...this is still your best by far.
nice remix! i like how you turned a song that's usually relaxing into something so upbeat!
I want an extended version of this really bad, such good work here.
Literally my favorite version of this song now. Aside from maybe the original just because of how emotional that one is.
Ive loved this for so long. And I still love it just as much as the first time I heard it
Wow, an awesome remix to turn a song like this into sumthin upbeat and not completely sad
Sorry, i can`t coment before, but i heard this a hundred times. Man, your remixs are the best.
sasukeshika fan!!!
Kingdom Hearts it`s the best game!!! And this are the best Kingdom Hearts remixs!!!
