@@-Jamie-3410 I think they mean as a battle theme, while dearly beloved is basically the main theme, it’s kind of far from being a battle theme, unless the remixed it.
Yeah. It kinda sucks that it only plays when Sora is by himself at the start of the game when he’s in a battle. In my opinion, this song reflects on Sora being in danger when he’s alone. When Goofy and Donald join Sora, Traverse Town’s battle theme turns into Hand in Hand, which sounds more upbeat and happy, reflecting on him being with his friends.
when sora arrives on the island during the storm, I love the zoom into his face after the shadows appear, the creatures from his dream appear before him and it perfectly conveys a "THEY'RE REAL?!" reaction
Its not just that, its the underlying "oh no..." because at this point, there is only ONE THING Shadows are associated with, and its something you really really hope you don't see here.... and then it shows itself Darkside Shadows are chumps, but that ominous warning that if they're here, What Else Is Here
@@syrelian sorry bout that cause I didn’t really get what you meant earlier.I guess what you mean is it’s more from Sora’s pov in the story so the dread is there because he’s nervous about that giant monster he encountered during his awakening that swallowed him with darkness being real, right?I initially thought you meant it’s also from a gameplay perspective and I didn’t get that because darksides are easy to beat.
This track will never, ever fail to bring terror to my heart. It's amazing how music can just be so... powerful. To evoke such a strong feeling in you. That's how you know it's real art- if it makes you FEEL.
This scene is almost arbitrary perfect. Right away we are established our hero’s main power and weapon, our villain, our conflict and the beginning of the journey, all done within a matter of FIVE MINUTES. No extra filler content, no explanation, all the plot points and pieces are set and ready to go.
God this theme (mixed with me running in absolute terror from the heartless on Destiny Islands with just a wooden sword) is a memory I will never forget.
Riku: The door has opened... Sora: What? Riku: The door has opened, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world! Sora: What are you talking about? We've gotta find Kairi! Riku: Kairi's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!
The best way i can describe this piece is...life changing, for whoever first played this game as kids, and slowly falling in love with it. The whacky adventures with disney characters, seeing sora grow up and playing it could instantly make you feel better, whether it was from another dsy at school, or work, maybe you started making your own keyblade or watched cosplay videos and amvs on youtube because you were that obsessed. I am thankful i got to play these videogames
In KH1 FM I swore not to leave Destiny Islands until I got Scan. It unlocked at Level 21. It took me over four straight hours going through the same rooms over and over again.
@@gablink5190 i hate how playing shield in kh1 sucks, i love playing shield cuz usually there are some neat things that would usually be in sword/rod are in shield early on so it sucks that khfm nurfed shield so hard.

His entry was lame the character is boring and this game sucks ass a terrible crossover with a terrible development team I’m talking about smash btw not kingdom hearts this game beats smash bros anyday so I’m not giving smash bros anything they need to step their game up already
I want this game back again man this was one of my favorite games when I was younger I liked it so much to the point I would start the game over just to beat it again this is also how I found out about everyone from ff7 and 8 because I did not know who they where back then
Duuuude rage awakened really awoke something in me. I removed hearing it at age 13 and I got addicted to that song for months! Even now i still have my moments LMAO
I heard this tune while playing Smash today and I got hooked to it immediately. This track is awesome 👏. Sora is one of my favorite character I play along with Hero, Pyra/Mythia, Kirby, and Palentina.
This plays at the best time ever. You are stuck with your keyblade but have no one to help you through all the heartlesses chasing you through Traverse Town. It's either fight or flight. But all is well cause Donald and Goofy cone to your aid
I just bought the game from the epic because it looked kinda cool... when I played it, the memories kept flooding and when I told my mom about the game she just left and came back with the ps2 I used to play on and when she opened it it was the original kh, I don’t know why I didn’t remember such perfect game till now.
As Kingdom Hearts was one of my first games growing up, this song and the apocalyptic night setting for the island are permanently engraved in my head as being the first time I felt, like, real _dread_ playing a game. It's not that this part of the game is overtly horrifying or scary, but it really captured the feeling of "oh god, the world's ending."
Something I always love is listening to songs after a character has been revealed for smash and seeing comments like “man wouldn’t it be cool if this song was in smash” and it is
When people ask if magic exists , id say that experiencing this game at a young age like me at around 9 years. Nothing short of magic here lol This music just has such a melancholic feel to it
"Kairi's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our families again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us. I'm not afraid of the darkness!"
its perfect because its light but keeps you amped. most themes are either boring or are so extreme they overhype you so you rush in and get frustrated. this song however keeps you hyped but let's you think and not get in over your head.
They'll come at you out of nowhere. And they'll keep coming after you, as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade. But why? Why did it have to pick a kid like you? Hey! What do you mean by that? Never mind. Now... let's see that Keyblade. What? There's no way that you're getting this. Fine. Then have it your way.
I don't. Hand in Hand is one of my favorite tracks in the game for the very reason that it succeeds Night of Fate as Traverse Town's battle theme. Night of Fate playing indicates that Sora is overwhelmed with panic and fear, and that every time he sees the Heartless, he remembers seeing his island being consumed by an all-encompassing void. But once you've been to a few worlds and finally return to Traverse Town, Sora has grown much stronger, and fears the Heartless less now that he has his new friends by his side. Hence, Hand in Hand is the new battle theme. It's a beautiful way of conveying character development.
@@TheLateLordKardok I don't know why i never realized that til now, even tho i had suspected that's what was happening when the battle music changed later on. I never minded it though, but the Night of Fate track is one of my all time favorites in the KH series. It shows up in KH3 too, after Sora is asked is he finally gonna call upon the darkness to save Roxas. So that track, instead of about being overwhelmed with fear, it could symbolize Sora feeling conflicted on how to bring back Roxas. Tho I could be wrong...
I have a head canon that Waluigi would hang out with Sora where all the Smash Bros. rejects go. But then Sora got picked and Waluigi says “Sora, who else will I have Ice Cream with?” I haven’t played Kingdom Hearts I just found that scene funny.
Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

The first track on Sora's list in Smash. He has taste.

The most. underrated. battle theme. in the entire franchise
Agreed!! It's one of my favorites and oh boy did it set fear in my heart when it first played on KH1
It was the first ever track, *of course its gotta set the bar for other tracks to surpass.*
@Boring Name It's the default combat theme in Traverse Town at first so you can get it to play a lot more often

Best battle theme of the entire series. Iconic
Actually I think Sinister Sundown and 13th Struggle from KH2 is a little better. But this song is still iconic. I wished they used it more though…
Can’t wait to be jamming to this on Hollow Bastion…welcome to smash Sora, we’ve been waiting for you!!!

Yes we have
