I like how the music from 3D does not have as many instruments and aren't as complex as Dark Impetus or Darkness of the Unknown. They reinforce the fact that you are fighting a young Xehanort.
Hearts are power. Nothingness is eternal! Embrace... nothing. Cursed fools! Anger and hate are supreme. We shall go together. Can you spare a heart? There's no such thing as light. Here's what I think Xemnas should say in KH3: Sora, is the strength you embodied truly yours? Riku, was your predecessor's choice not a conicidence? Kairi, are you certain you don't endanger your friends with your meddling?
Decent projections. I hope Kairi's somewhat playable and gets to fight. Also- *********************Spoiler******************************** * * * * * * Keyblade Bearer Lea. He'll have to say something there?
Robo lopez Well, that's probably the most memorable line from this boss fight, since he says that every time you start the fight. Plus it's a really hard fight, meaning people will die and have to listen to that quote over and over again.
Xemnas: no reaction comands this time Sora: oh yeah i have reality shifts and dream eaters Xemnas throws buildings Sora: 0_0 life bare: oooooo oooooo oooooo
The storyline makes you want to hear more of the storyline because it's so amazing, and the gameplay is unrivaled in comparison to any game I know, including every other Kingdom Hearts game. Get this game and the only thing you'll regret is not getting it sooner.
Terra's body, at the time of becoming Xehanort's vessel, contained both Terra and Xehanort's hearts within it. Upon splitting into Heartless and Nobody, Xehanort kept most of the power, but Xemnas showed signs of having Terra within him in some way...I believe that Ansem SoD had Xehanort's heart within him, and Xemnas had Terra's. Nomura has said that Xemnas may have been able to use the keyblade, which supports him having Terra's heart; and Xemnas himself said the body will find a new heart.
The question is: is it the end for Sora's story as well as Xehanort? Just curious if they'll offer up new protagonists. I'm really attached to Sora right now; also would like to see him and his friends get their true happy endings, and wondering what villain and plot setup could top the Xehanort Saga.
***** If they had a Disney villain as the super boss, it'd be stretching the character. The team behind Kingdom Hearts did a superb job of having characters from different worlds interact without pushing them beyond what Disney had already designed and making them OoC. Most of them were already 2D characters in a sense. Square Enix is infamous for having bait and switch bosses, like how we thought Maleficent was the end-all of evil until Ansem, SoD popped up.
Blackbyrd well now that i think about it, they did a pretty good job at getting people attached to new characters - roxas to name one xD everyone loved him, so i feel like because of him people might be more open to a new protagonist if there ends up being a new one :p
MorbidAnimosity I have no doubt about it. Look how quickly people took to Axel? I think I fell in love on the first "Got it memorized?" If they introduce a new protagonist, they'd have to go for a contrasting personality quirk to help us differentiate him/her from Sora (sort of like how Ventus was as naive/kind as Sora in BBS, making them kindred spirits in a sense, but Sora had his dark, serious moments throughout the first game). Maybe a female protagonist, someone's who kind of sassy but in a light-hearted way who doesn't take things seriously until the Big Bad Plot Point happens.
"We have learned of the heart's folly, and we have attained our other goals. This has been a worthy closing assignment, for the organization......" Xemnas on winning the game.
I remember, all my years of loving the series, there was this pent up anger that grew inside of me. To know nothing is to live the happiest life, when I began meeting other Kingdom Hearts fans it made me angry that I wasn't the only one who loved the game, but now I know, I know there is no one who could love the game quite like I do. How it holds a place in my heart, the game, the characters, the story. It may sound selfish, but it brings me peace, how I wish I could have place in that world.
@@Luddagumma Yeah, but I had at least hoped you would remember a reason. It was just a little too funny to not ask about. It's fine if ya don't though. Probably one of those things where there's literally no explanation for it.
Thank you very much :) I'm still practicing it, I had just one teacher at school that teached me the easiest things, for the rest i learned what i know thanks to videogames, anime, manga and the Internet, so i still have a lot to learn :)
+Webshooters1 someone who noticed ^-^ I geeked out a bit when I realized most of the xehanort battles in this game are remixes of darkness of the unknown
Xemnas is friggin badass in the entire series, that's why he's my absolute favorite character! And this theme just upgraded his badassness to a whole new level!!
If you want to kick that badass up even further, look up Xemnas with Japanese voice acting. Xemnas's Japanese voice actor is Norio Wakamoto. The Japanese call him "The god-king of voice actors" over there for good reason.
Same here. It makes you wonder what kind of theme they will go for, in both music and the way you battle the boss and the kinds of forms/stages you have to go through before you finish Xehanort off
imagine this song playing while you were grocery shopping. you could be like gliding down the isles with your shopping cart epically looking for the produce section.
They didn't,Yoko Shimomura is still the music maker for Kingdom Hearts.This theme is a remix of Darkness of the Unknown because some characters have their own battle theme which is unique.It's awesome when after years you hear battle him again with an epic remix of his theme.It kinda brings back memories.
Exactly. I think that it has enough originality to make it interesting, but enough of the old theme to reference who you're fighting and to create nostalgia.
I've gotta say, I was really surprised by this game. I thought it wouldn't be as good as the first two, but now I can't put it down. It's addicting. :)
specifically I have to say that 365/2 officially starts after Sora Loses his Heart in 1, as 365 starts before The Organization are dispatched to Castle Oblivion for CoM, or at least that is what it looks like....
thank u so much bro...im hoping after all there will be a new KH3 for CONSOLES again like the old time :) this game has actually a pretty good plot if it wasn't when they come with the friendship power that came out of nowhere and save the world -_- i really will like to see a lil more mature KH for next one....no blood and something like that but some more mature argument because sometimes when i watch the let's play for this new 3DS game remind me to DORA the explorer and that sucks...a lot...
No, Yoko Shimomura, along with Motoi Sakuraba and earlier Sakimoto and Uematsu all used synthesizers. Not a bad thing, but this was recorded using a synthesizer. It is preformed live with an orchestra very often though.
From Tetsuya Nomura's (the guy who directed the game) interviews. Oh yeah, x is already playable in Japanese, found out just now. XD But you need an ID thingy to be able to play it.
Dream, because of the theme "Sleeping Worlds", but not exactly a dream. There's only a portion of the game that is actually a dream. Drop, is due to how they navigate the worlds, and Disance represents both the distance between Sora and Riku, as from the number 3 itself. All confirmed by Nomura.
you will find this kind of mistranslation a lot in KH2 english version when they mistranslated "Braig" name into "Bleig" because maybe the character document they sent to the translator written in katakana. eitherway, "Braig" and "Bleig" are written with the same katakana.
That moment when you realise that L'Oscurità dell'Ignoto translates to darkness of the unknown, the name of the song that plays during the final boss fight of kingdom hearts 2.
358/2 Days starts 7 days after the day sora pierces himself with the keyblade of all hearts, in relation to the manga, that is just as he is arriving in the End of the World.
I can definitely see where you're coming from. I like games with engaging stories...but...I also think there are more logical ways of telling them. The trouble with Tetsuya Nomura is that he keeps adding new elements, plot twists, and Deus Ex Machinas, It's like he can't make up his mind how things work in the KH universe. Teen Xehanort's explanation of how time travel works makes no sense when taking Sora, Donald, and Goofy's trip to Timeless River into consideration.
Actually the 3rd one is already pending but it's not in production yet because the Kingdom Hearts crew is still working on Versus XIII and after that they still have Kingdom Hearts 2.5 then Kingdom hearts x before 3. But don't worry, the 3rd one is already pending.
Coded is a little fun, but story wise it's basically a rehashing of kh1. it mostly explains the mystery of the missing entries of jiminy's journal and eventually leads mickey to acknowledge xehanort's return. but other than that, meh. kh1 revisited, plus turned based coloseum level. if nothing else, play it for the entertaining shift in gameplay style it throws at you. platforming levels, rail shooters, turn based, it really is fun just because it shifts so often.
It really isn't that hard to follow if you play them all around the same time, or if you are like me, and have played the first few games many times, so you catch all the little bits of information the newer ones through at you.
just thought about it but i think the 3 of them represent the 3ds from the game: -sora=dream(has closed eyes) -riku=drop(watching down as he falls) -mikey=distance(trying to reach sora) if this is what they are actually wanna show then good jom to nomura :)
They didn't. For very large pieces of work, such as a series on such a grand scale as Kingdom Hearts, it is very effective to re-use motifs. Not only does it save a bit of time, it helps tie everything together nicely. I personally don't think its as repetitive as you are making it sound. It gives the later pieces of music a very nostalgic, euphoriac, feeling.
just cause there is a new organiation XIII doesn't mean they will use the same 'X" motif. i mean Ansem keeps his name, and the same could be said about isa, and whoever is still part of the organization minus Xigbar. plus they said they were originally going to use roxas,, but the idea was scraped when he went back to sora. plus its not impossible they could communicate to roxas from time to time even in the dream world

Violinist: I'M TRYING!!!
I like how the music from 3D does not have as many instruments and aren't as complex as Dark Impetus or Darkness of the Unknown. They reinforce the fact that you are fighting a young Xehanort.
Hearts are power. Nothingness is eternal!
Embrace... nothing.
Cursed fools!
Anger and hate are supreme.
We shall go together.
Can you spare a heart?
There's no such thing as light.
Here's what I think Xemnas should say in KH3:
Sora, is the strength you embodied truly yours?
Riku, was your predecessor's choice not a conicidence?
Kairi, are you certain you don't endanger your friends with your meddling?
Absolutely agree
Decent projections. I hope Kairi's somewhat playable and gets to fight.

Keyblade Bearer Lea. He'll have to say something there?
As your flesh, bears the sigil, so your name shall be known as that, of a recusant.
Disappear!
Disintegrate!
Despair shall be yours!
Those dont sound like short and simple battle quotes
sounds good and quotes Xemnas would say
this is my favorite battle theme out of 3D. it just screams 'you fail, you die.'
Everyone is pointing out the sigil line but the most important line in the previous cutscene was.
"Indeeeeeeeeeeed"
SittinGamer INNDDEEEEEEEEEEEEDDDD....
As your flesh, bears the sigil.
So your name shall be known as that... of a recusant.
Do we really have to paste this sentence that Xehenort says at every comment section of the video that's named L'Oscurita dell'Ignoto?
Robo lopez
TH-cam in a nutshell.
Robo lopez
Well, that's probably the most memorable line from this boss fight, since he says that every time you start the fight.
Plus it's a really hard fight, meaning people will die and have to listen to that quote over and over again.
***** which means we need to listen to it again?
Good point actually... but ey how do we even function, right?! Humans are weird.
You know you're in trouble when an organ solo plays to start a boss fight.
"So your name shall bear that....of a recusant!"
Such a breathtaking voice!
サビが一回やんでまたサビが来るところ鳥肌やばい
Xemnas: no reaction comands this time
Sora: oh yeah i have reality shifts and dream eaters
Xemnas throws buildings
Sora: 0_0

I absolutely LOVE how they used part of No Heart's battle theme!
Dat violin tho. LOL in all seriousness, I really love the violin that plays in this theme.

Shimomura is the queen of video game music
Mansex and his dramatics are ever so hilarious. I wish I could move my hands like him.
OOOOOOOOO:
Time and again, Yoko Shimomura proves she is the definitive master of composition. Astounding music. :]
I used to listen to this song a lot, like... ALOT. So much so that I got sick of it. Still good tho. 👌
+Anthony Troiano I do that with a lot of BGMs to games. I regret nothing.

I read somewhere that kingdom hearts III won't be the final kingdom hearts game. The creators just said it's going to end the xehanort saga. XD
of course it isnt, they make so much money off the kingdom hearts series :p
hopefully they just dont milk the series dry
The question is: is it the end for Sora's story as well as Xehanort? Just curious if they'll offer up new protagonists.

"We have learned of the heart's folly, and we have attained our other goals. This has been a worthy closing assignment, for the organization......"
Xemnas on winning the game.
Whenever Oscurita is in the name,you know it'll be epic!
When I heard this, I knew shit was about to get real.
I'm sure Xemnas loved this music, he just didn't expect being beaten up to it.
Very well played indeed. The first post reminds of something within VIII of the Deep Dive.
Its one of the other pictures from the game. This one symbolizes the way things were in KH 1, Sora as light and Riku falling in darkness.
My god this fight was epic. After seeing just what a monster Xemnas truly was, it was fun to give him pain.
If that's really the case, then that would be an unintentional case of fridge brilliance.
I remember, all my years of loving the series, there was this pent up anger that grew inside of me.

@@shadowkhiz7455 This is a 9 year old comment I was literally a child lmaoooo I obviously don't have these feelings anymore

"Sora, are you certain you can trust Riku?"
"Riku, are you sure you are not jelious of Sora?"
wrong game
wrong song
Kelphy X
Just gonna respond to all of you at once cause I'm lazy.
Yes, different game but it's the same song from KH2 just remixed.
+Webshooters1 someone who noticed ^-^ I geeked out a bit when I realized most of the xehanort battles in this game are remixes of darkness of the unknown
I think this is perfectly fine. It certainly suits Xemnas very well.
"As your flesh bears the sigil, your name, shall be that of the Recusant..."

"I'll engrave another heresy into you once more..."
"As your flesh bears the sigil, so your name shall be known as that...of a recusant."
The reference, is that Xemnas is a Nobody, a being left behind when one had lost their heart, but the soul and will of the body acts on its' own.
MAY DESPAIR BE YOURS!!!!!
greatest xemnas line ever
listening to this while doing history homework involving wars can sound really epic inside your head...
that's some pretty deep stuff,I like it! Never would have thought of that. :)
I really liked how this song connects with the other themes plus listen to that violin!
You know L'oscurita dell'ignoto actually means Darkness of the Unknown in Italian, right? That's why it plays in the fight with Xemnas.
Eriah Sylverstone
Well done, captain obvious !
Braviaggron wasn't obvious to me
PhantomZ2
Oscurita = darkness, obvious for me okay.
Ignoto = ignore = unknown, just a deduction.
And the music.
They didn't,Yoko Shimomura is still the music maker for Kingdom Hearts.This theme is a remix of Darkness of the Unknown because some characters have their own battle theme which is unique.It's awesome when after years you hear battle him again with an epic remix of his theme.It kinda brings back memories.
It actually represents most of the game's plot and its twists. I won't say anything else in case you haven't played the game yet.
Exactly. I think that it has enough originality to make it interesting, but enough of the old theme to reference who you're fighting and to create nostalgia.
...just me or music for videogames and specially this one just keeps getting better and better??
The perfect song for the perfect boss. Maybe not as good as the original but still pretty amazing
@TheDeralte Its title was translated into Italian. Darkness of the Unknown = Oscurità dell'Ignoto
I've gotta say, I was really surprised by this game. I thought it wouldn't be as good as the first two, but now I can't put it down. It's addicting. :)
I love this game also, even though I beat it I still go back and play it. My friend hates it because he thinks its to hard...
The violinist played that 2 years ago already, and the violin was on fire.
This is random but, with all of these beautiful soundtracks, I can't wait for the truly-final boss theme for KHIII...
Kingdom Hearts proves that the Italian language makes things more awesome.
Don't forget the latin!
Tracks like this get my hyped for KH3
best kh game hands down, best music in the game right here.
This image is deifferent at each angle... Really cool!
Ahh love when he says that when you re fixing to fight Xemnas
Yes :3 It's pretty cool how they put messages in their pictures and stuff :P
specifically I have to say that 365/2 officially starts after Sora Loses his Heart in 1, as 365 starts before The Organization are dispatched to Castle Oblivion for CoM, or at least that is what it looks like....
thank u so much bro...im hoping after all there will be a new KH3 for CONSOLES again like the old time :) this game has actually a pretty good plot if it wasn't when they come with the friendship power that came out of nowhere and save the world -_- i really will like to see a lil more mature KH for next one....no blood and something like that but some more mature argument because sometimes when i watch the let's play for this new 3DS game remind me to DORA the explorer and that sucks...a lot...

@Zinkr7Blaziken The word "distance" in the title refers to the "distance" you fall in your dreams.
100% agree. Best in the series. Has a few problems but you get used to them. I'm currently trying to 100% the game
Kairi: Don't leave me behind ok
Well they're leaving you behind again.
I......LOVE...this song......
*tries to use sliding shot and meteor rain against it, but the song holds* magnifique!
This is the song I hear in my head when I have to check out an old person at the grocery store.
From Tetsuya Nomura's (the guy who directed the game) interviews. Oh yeah, x is already playable in Japanese, found out just now. XD But you need an ID thingy to be able to play it.
they don't call him roxas, they were just saying how roxas was originally going to be the 13th vessal
Dream, because of the theme "Sleeping Worlds", but not exactly a dream. There's only a portion of the game that is actually a dream. Drop, is due to how they navigate the worlds, and Disance represents both the distance between Sora and Riku, as from the number 3 itself.
All confirmed by Nomura.

"As your flesh...bears the sigil....your name shall become that...of a recusant...."
I'm sure I heard the cover art meant Darkness turns to light and light falls into darkness. It only makes sense after you've played the game
When I listen to this I imagine Xemnas hopping, jumping, warping, or whatever shit he does when he hits you with his weapons.
come on xemnas... STOP THROWING FUCKING BUIDINGS!
+Danny Sin YT (DannyYT555) Xemnas:...no
Someone get a demolition ball over here!!!
kingdom hearts has some of the best music ever
That moment when you realise that L'Oscurità dell'Ignoto translates to darkness of the unknown, the name of the song that plays during the final boss fight of kingdom hearts 2.
Such creativity.
that's awesome
One is the only game designed to be self contained, and is by far the best because of that fact.
"As your flesh bares the sigil, so you shall be known as that....of a reclusant."
I knew this was a remix of Darkness of the Unknown but dang I just realized this is also Marluxia's theme as well, Scythe of Petals :O
as your soul bears the sigil, so shall your name be known as that.... of a recusant.
so epic
he's changed

it mostly explains the mystery of the missing entries of jiminy's journal and eventually leads mickey to acknowledge xehanort's return.
but other than that, meh. kh1 revisited, plus turned based coloseum level.
if nothing else, play it for the entertaining shift in gameplay style it throws at you.
platforming levels, rail shooters, turn based, it really is fun just because it shifts so often.
One of his best quotes
It really isn't that hard to follow if you play them all around the same time, or if you are like me, and have played the first few games many times, so you catch all the little bits of information the newer ones through at you.
just thought about it but i think the 3 of them represent the 3ds from the game:
-sora=dream(has closed eyes)
-riku=drop(watching down as he falls)
-mikey=distance(trying to reach sora)
if this is what they are actually wanna show then good jom to nomura :)
And if you look at the trailer of XIII you'll see that the Kingdom hearts crew is, in fact, handling a big portion of it.
As this flesh bears the sigil, so too will your name be known as that... of a Recusant.
It was one of the reasons why I bought mine.

My god, Yoko Shimomura is a goddess with a conductor's baton.
Thats why I love the series too. I love games like portal and Bioshock for the same reason.
just cause there is a new organiation XIII doesn't mean they will use the same 'X" motif. i mean Ansem keeps his name, and the same could be said about isa, and whoever is still part of the organization minus Xigbar. plus they said they were originally going to use roxas,, but the idea was scraped when he went back to sora. plus its not impossible they could communicate to roxas from time to time even in the dream world
