@@silentvoice6737 No you can't, you didn't even list anything that could be better, do you just not want to admit that this was the best main boss theme? Lol.
@@matthewdawnbringer4632 Rage Awakening Sora versus Terra boss fight and the other promise Roxas vs Sora. We can even count Ansem final form in Kingdom hearts 1 for the buildup of each fight and feeling like a badass once defeated him and achieving your victory. Or the 13 Struggle between Axel and Roxas the battle between two best friends. And Kingdom hearts 3 the final fight with Xehanort, eons upon eons of him using others and ruining lives just for the power of Kingdom hearts made that final battle music more thrilling while fighting him. Once defeated you really do feel at peace.
Darn, they really stepped it up with the 2.5 soundtrack in comparation to the OG Kh2 sountrack because this sounds SO nice, forever the best Kingdom Hearts final boss.
I can't stop thinking how perfect this would've been for Smash, since the standard ruleset has a 7:00 timer, you'd be able to go through all the phases, with longer matches feeling more epic and dynamic as you close in all the final 3 minutes.
Bro I wanted a Darkness of the Unknown medley except whenever it reaches a specific time or stock it changes between the three phases. My only complaint about sora in smash is the music selection, that’s it.
this is my favorite thing about us Darkness of the Unknown fans. Every time I find someone else who thinks it's the best track, I'm like "that VIOLIN, right??" and they're like "OH MY GOD YES EXACTLY THE VIOLIN PART"
Xemnas: Sora, are you certain you can trust Riku? Xemnas: Riku, are sure you're not jealous of Sora? Xemnas: Hearts are Power, The Nothingness is ETERNAL! Xemnas: Anger and hate are supreme. Xemnas: We shall go together! Xemnas: Pierce! Xemnas: Fire! Xemnas: Can you spare a heart? Xemnas: There's no such thing as light.
To think.... Yoko Shimomura and John Williams were simultaneously creating two of the greatest fight themes in their respective genres at the same time.... Then you start chucking buildings at a frickin dragon the size of a metropolitan city. Good times. Good times. "No more eternal than that radiance of yours." 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
They are still to this day my favorite composers of all time, SW and KH being their most standout, incredible work as well. I cannot wait for that inevitable SW reveal for KH4.
I got a playlist of 1000+ vg soundtracks of all kinds. And I’ve come to the conclusion this is the absolute best video game song ever created. I do have a bias for the original though.
2:18 That's the sole reason for why Armored Xemnas' version of this song is the part that makes it into every mashup that Darkness of the Unknown is a part of.
Armored Xemnas: Riku, are sure you're not jealous of Sora? Armored Xemnas: Sora, are you certain you can trust Riku? Armored Xemnas: Hearts are Power, The Nothingness is ETERNAL! Armored Xemnas: Embrace the Nothing! Armored Xemnas after being defeated the second time: Aaaarrrgggghhh! Final Xemnas: Heroes from the Realm of Light, I will not allow it to end this way, not yet. If Light and Darkness are eternal, then surely we Nothings must be the same.....ETERNAL. Riku: You're right, Light and Darkness are eternal. Nothing probably goes on forever too. But guess what Xemnas? Sora: That doesn't mean you're eternal! Final Xemnas: Ha, ha, ha, ha, no more eternal than that radiance of yours. Final Xemnas: Anger and Hate are Supreme! Final Xemnas: We shall go together! Final Xemnas: Can you spare a heart? Final Xemnas: Fire! Final Xemnas: Pierce! Final Xemnas: There's no such thing as Light, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! Final Xemnas after being defeated: Accursed....Keyblade.
The moment 2:18 is the moment that made me realize that the world is a place full of light and darkness, that we are under the protection of a god like entity known as the Kingdom hearts
Something tells me this theme is just too good, I must say, it is my #1 favorite in the series. It plays with my heart, specially since Xemnas in my favorite villian in the series.
The trio of Replicas, Critical Crossroad, and Dark Domination TRIED to be this, and while epic pieces and a pretty enjoyable sequence, they just don't match the sense of finality and scale this one did. THIS felt like an epic final showdown that could've capped off the series.
There is one fight in 1v1 The one where you climb up the dragon ship A fight against Xemnas in his armor where he use the different attack of the other organization member One where you chase the Dragon ship A second time aginst him in his armor And the last time where he uses all his capacity This guy throw all he had. Losing wasn't an option for him
@@humblebeast9813 I didn't think Ansem was very hard either. His final form is insultingly easy. With Aeroga and enough mp for cures its almost impossible to lose that fight. Xemnas is more challenging on lvl1 critical mode.
Final Xemnas on standard mode is pretty easy honestly. On Critical mode however, I find him to be a fun and suitable challenge. Further proof that Critical mode is objectively the only way to play Kingdom Hearts 2.
Best main boss theme in the whole series, can't change my mind.
i can

If my sources are good, the music for KH 2.5 was composed with live instruments, which is why it sounds so good
@The European Bee I wouldn’t say “vastly superior.” The Original DotU holds up very well to 2.5’s.
Indeed!
@@wolfy6631 The most example of it is the 'He's a Pirate' track in Port Royal. Way better than the midi trumpets from the PS2 version. lol

"VINES"
@@thetater1296 I think he says "BIND", but yeah.
Cursed......... Keyblade........
Then you unleash their limit on him "YOU'RE GUNNA LOSE IT ALL!". It always felt so satisfying to end the fight with that.
one of the absolute best boss themes and final sequences in gaming history
Easily top 10 and still easily the best in the franchise. That whole final sequence of fights is absolutely golden.
"Anger and hate are supreme"
Also, this theme is really really good
2:08 hits me so fantastically every time, it truly feels like you’ve reached the final battle, the final struggle in the adventure
Try doing a sprint, it’s such an insane feeling

Thank you!! I was eagerly waiting for the time when someone would upload the unextended kh 2.5 hd remix soundtrack.
I'll be uploading the rest soon enough !
I only have a few more to upload now, the entire soundtrack will be uploaded within the week :)
Fivda Thank you very much!!
The buildup at 1:12 going to 1:27, makes 1:27 even better.
And of course there 2:18.
Whenever I listen to this song, I can almost hear the battling noises, because of how many times I beat the crap out of Xemnas...
Ah, when Xemnas summoned Blue Eyes to fight Sora and Riku.
I was looking for “fate of the unknown” but this is a banger too 😊
Now this is a final boss
The moment 2:18 is the moment that made me realize that the world is a place full of light and darkness, that we are under the protection of a god like entity known as the Kingdom hearts
Can't wait to play this in MoM

The 13th Struggle part.
I prefer fight to the death but this goes pretty hard
Can't believe The Weather Channel sampled this... in 2006
1:27 I’ve never heard such staccatos, they just came right into my soul
I know right!!!
Probably the only one that's HQ on YT rn
For some dumb reason, my brain always thought of the song, "Chocolate Rain" when hearing this.
There is one fight in 1v1
The one where you climb up the dragon ship
A fight against Xemnas in his armor where he use the different attack of the other organization member
One where you chase the Dragon ship
A second time aginst him in his armor
And the last time where he uses all his capacity
This guy throw all he had. Losing wasn't an option for him
"I let you feel like you the shit, but boy you can't out-fart me"🔥🔥🔥
Question, why was that motorbike even there anyway? Seems way too convenient to just be lying there without being used by someone else.
Video games innit. In a game where folk are whacking the darkness in people's hearts with giant keys, things don't need to make sense.
YozenFroghurt couldn’t have said it better myself. The motorbike was there strictly for gameplay reasons for that phase of the boss fight
