Kingdom Hearts OST : Dive into the Heart EXTENDED VERSION The part where your on the beach on the game I kinda stuffed it up. I forgot how that bit went =/
@@gamerprince-tl5hg Dude, yes. I think I was 8, and thought Disney princesses were just girly tosh. But I start up this game--the opening cutscene is like nothing I've ever seen, yet emotionally resonant like a dream--and that final top-down shot of the Snow White stained glass floor stirs me. As I followed the stairs across those mysterious citadels in the darkness, I was gripped as profoundly as by anything I've encountered in literature. Suddenly these pink and yellow cartoon girls my sister liked to dress up as were transported into a context that left me speechless. They became venerated and sacred. Something to revere, preserve, protect, fight and die for. I got a true sense of their royalty for the first time. I was fascinated by the idea of the 7 Princesses of Heart and that Maleficent was trying to round them up. I didn't mind watching the princess movies anymore. And anytime I saw them on a birthday cake or whatever I thought "I know who you really are."
I cant help but agree, I used to get a big blanket and put it under a square table that I had until last week when I donated it to charity, anyways I had my ps2 and small tv in that little table hut I made, I actually gave kh2 a go at some point in their and this theme is just pure childhood mystery
When I was young and played KH for the first time, I remember realizing, right at the beginning, it was not going to be the same as any other game I had ever played - and I was not wrong. I felt it was a game of maturity and teaching - not just one of being a hero, but of understanding that the power within oneself to do right, even if it was just a simple act of kindness, was enough to change much about a person. It was that feeling of wanting to help someone else that made us truly human. Not our reason. Not our wisdom. Our innate desires to help, but those same desires carry with them the curse of want. But hey, I'm just being overly dramatic here. It was an amazing game.
Bob Growly From a religious standpoint, the closer you come to God, the greater the light, and the greater and darker shadows of the Devil will surround you.
What is most important to you? -friendship What are you so afraid of?-being indecisive What do you want outta life?-to broaden my horizons These are my answers... I didn't really pay any attention to these questions when I was a kids. But now, almost 13 years later, they seem so profound.
the power of the warrior.... invincible courage.... a sword of terrible power.... the power of the mystic... inner strength... a staff of wonder, and ruin... the power of the guardian... kindness to aid friends.... a shield to repel all...
The crystals actually represent the princesses of heart Snow White and Cinderella were already captured before the events of the game and since they're the first ones to appear in the dive it also represents that they're the first ones to appear on the big screen and Disney's universe. The one with the 3 hearts shows the 3 princesses that weren't captured before the game's events and are still free until they are captured later on the game. (Alice, Jasmine and Kairi). Aurora was probably the first captured due to maleficent belonging to her world and probably the thorns represent that along. Belle was captured shortly before the events of the game also the fact that every character but beast were sleeping represent the darkness that invaded her world and Beast's narrow scape from his world to save her.
It's indeed ridiculous, @@justinpennington6680, but I wouldn't say it's completely awful. It's just bizarre how the game tries to both take itself completely seriously, and then have Disney characters. Those things shouldn't really go together, yet they do, and it works. ...Kinda. It's hard to take seriously at times...
This track perfectly encapsulates what made KH1 so enticing, and what the rest of the series has failed to recapture: a dark, lonely, enigmatic atmosphere. Despite the sequels expanding the lore/world, everything felt so much bigger in KH1. The sound effects echoed in the cutscenes (adding to the emptiness), music would cut out from the background (creating tension from simple scenes), the state of things felt grim, the dialogue wasn’t as sappy or cheesy, and the story wasn’t bogged down with convolution. All this isn’t to say that the following games are bad, they were just never the same.
The raw gameplay may be much better in 2 and 3 but I'll be damned if the first game isn't the better overall experience. At least in terms of being an action adventure.
KH1 will never be replicated, neither will 2, but KH1 Hits different to the rest of the Series. KH1 did so many things that the rest of the Series never touched again, but it's stuff you can only do the First time around, Thematically. They could have really kept the level Design and it's a shame that KH3 did that pretty well but fell flat Ar everything else.
KH2 overall was a better game - but the story didn’t grip me as much as KH1. Not to say it wasn’t as good, but the mystique was kind of gone. KH3 is hot garbage 😢
This brings back vivid memories of playing KH for the first time during Sora's dream at the beginning and being just overwhelmed with an indescribable feeling of fear and fascination.
With this music and scenery, I was terrified to continue as a kid. The culmination with Darkside appearing gave me nightmares for days. But I’m glad that I went back in, because what a journey…
Haha, I had to stop the battle against Darkside as it was too frightening (and also too difficult) for me. One of my first games (the second one on PlayStation), I cried a bit. Then came back to it months later.
My brother rented this game for me as a kid because he knew I liked Disney movies. We were both caught off-guard when we realized that they were playing it all straight-faced. It was so unique, so different, at the time. He didn't even play video games, but still watched me play it for like 3 fucking hours straight, utterly captivated by it's weirdness
The thing with the OG Kingdom Hearts is that they captured this feeling of being the "chosen one" in a way I don't think any other game really has before or since. This intro sequence really hammered it in at the start. When kid me first started playing this, I didn't know what I was fighting in the sequence, but I knew that the fate of the world depended on me fighting it. I felt like I was the central figure of something so much larger than I was. No other game in the series really recaptured this feeling in the same way.
I remember, as a kid, waking up early on the weekends and playing this while everyone else was asleep. This song gave me the creeps back then, especially playing alone. It’s such a surreal and mysterious song, one that makes your hairs kinda stand on edge.
I *just* started playing Kingdom Hearts and this music gave me LIFE. Combined with the entire Awakening segment of choosing your weapon and learning to fight, it made the game seem almost like a final dungeon area. It was so dark, but the voice urging me on kept me in the light. The heart is such a tumultuous place, that even we are at awe with its ungodly power and unbreakable resilience. This could be the theme song of my life. I need it!
Though It's too bad every kingdom hearts after the first one are... the same atmosphere. I, at least, don't see much of a difference. Not even the gameplay, besides each games' new feature..
God, next year will mark 20 YEARS since I first played this game...5:58 still gives me chills. Nothing will ever beat the magic, mystery and intrigue as the first KH. I swear every bit of this game gave me chills.
@@reddodeado301 Was it really? At first I thought it was Ventus helping Sora, but in KH3 it turns out he had little memory of his time with Sora, and was kinda dormant the whole time. Then I started thinking it might be Eraqus, because he and Xehanort were the ones orchestrating the whole thing. Not to mention he's like a spirit of pure light now and could feasibly enter people's hearts, or something. But if it's Mickey, it's Mickey. It's just a weird explanation because Mickey never displays telepathic abilities ever again after that... MAYBE I could see Yen Sid pulling something like that, but not Mickey. Anyway, my headcannon is that it's Eraqus. I think it's a better explanation because if you think about it, literally everyone in the KH universe is connected, except Sora/Riku/Kairi to Eraqus himself, and it would be a neat little thing to throw in there.
Everytime I feel myself going through a hard or difficult time in my life (or say like now where I am about to for the CPA exam)I immediately think of this song and how I will "fight through the darkness" to get to the other side...light (and can just have a life again lol). This probably sounds over-dramatic and knowing UA-cam none of you want to know my life story but you all understand what I mean.
F420 ain’t that the truth. Working in the accounting profession has thrown me some major curveballs. A couple months after I posted this comment I went through a terrible time in my life.
People saying "Oh, I remember when I was a kid, ah nostalgia, ah kid's game." I'm literally sitting here with my 22 years old ass on my couch, and going thru life with Kingdom Hearts, cause it gaves meaning to my mental health problems
If I had awakening Voice I hope it's final words before the boss fight were "You must take the first step Will you descend into the Light or will you Fall into the Darkness Only you can decide your Destiny."
I am listening to this right now with my newly adopted kitten, who I have dubbed Sora! He has a sleek black coat, reminding me of the darkness of this game, but is so high spirited like Sora. The name just fit so well!
This was the song that represented the deepest parts of your mind and soul. That inner world you entered to figure out who you truly were and what you valued, all whilst being guided by a mysterious voice that urged you to keep moving forward through the unknown. Stirred with fear but courageous enough to push on, you proceed through the abyss and eventually, you find the light. You encounter a momentary sigh of relief, just to find out the shadow behind you is awakening. You become filled with terror as it grows larger and larger. You try to run, but soon realize you're trapped with this darkness. You realize the only way out is for you to turn and fight ... "But don't be afraid ... You hold the mightiest weapon of all ... "
defry1234 Good question. That's a very good question indeed... Are we, who has blessed with gift of sight really able to the truth? I think we have. However if we realise this, we have stepped one step closer to light.
defry1234 One man blinded by light refuses it and turned to darkness, one who dwells in darkness will eventually accept the light, but darkness and light can't exist without each other. So why be afraid of both? Don't be afraid to chose... and always remember... May your heart be your guiding key.
The blind lead the sighted because they see with other senses. The light we see is not the only light there is in the Universe. Who's to say there blind when they can see something we have yet to understand.
"Ones born of the heart and darkness, devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation. Seize all hearts and consummate the great heart. All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all. Realize the destiny: the realm of Kingdom Hearts. The great darkness sealed within the great heart. Progeny of darkness, come back to the eternal darkness. For the heart of light shall unseal the path. Seven hearts, one Keyhole, one key to the door. The door of darkness, tied by two keys. The door to darkness to seal the light. None shall pass but shadows, returning to the darkness. One born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens." - Ansem the Wise
this is the song that defined the first game - dark, eerie, dreamlike, cryptic. if only i could play this game for the first time again, to relive the feeling :3
This makes my mind literally fall asleep. I question about who, abd what I am. Am i a person who wields the darkness? Or am i a person who claims the light. What is my destiny. What an i suppose to do. What power, could I hold, that may, or will change tje world.
I could stand out as a real hippie now: You are the light. You are the world, but you as the world (the collective conciousness called god) experience yourself as an individual aspect of itself. A single color of the rainbow from when the light breaks. And as the individual the world wants fullfill the reason to why it has split into separate pieces: to experience. Different parts of itself/yourself by moving between light and darkness. Sorry but a spiritual teacher told me this once and I just had to share this now that I saw the chance cause it sounds so epic xD
The beginning to a journey we won’t soon forget. A bond forged with a beloved character and game. All of life is but a journey one should choose for oneself. If not for the diving into ones destiny then it should be done for the belief that all can be right with oneself through journeying into a world vastly filled with obstacles and lessons waiting to be learned. To master the heart takes time. And with time one will find the key to unlocking the true purpose of ones chosen journey.
We humans are a species of balance a mix of two sides the light and the dark. One can't exist without the other that is why even in the brightest of places have the darkest shadow
Some people say, Good and Evil both must exist in a balance, but they usually are unbalanced and Evil usually becomes unstable, though at times good and evil can be balanced, it can't be trusted, since there is always a power struggle. When the light begins to fade and hope seems lost, look to the stars and the Heavens, for hope shines bright. Decades, centuries, or millennia's from now, it is said the Ultimate Battle will occur between Good and Evil, the good souls will be able to immortality exist and thrive, the bad souls will return to their grotesque and rotten corpses that rise from the dead, as they are forever damned, spending the rest of eternity in a sorrowful state of regret and shame. Why does it seem like the good souls don't stay on earth for long, they are usually taken from us by evil, as evil usually seems to thrive on earth for as long as it likes. Don't let Lucifer fool you and us, May the Almighty bless you and us, amen.
Evil can be unstable sometimes, but what would happen if the Good also turn unstable, which can happen too. People become filled with the feeling of being a God's menssenger or a symbol of Justice, but in the end, things turn out of control and the "good" only turns into a chaotic good. People have both sides in their heart, Good and Evil, but if you let one of those domain your heart, things will not end very well. It's like Sora, even when he turns into his Anti-form, a embodyment of his own inner darkness, he still have the power to control it and not lose hinself in the darkness.
Yes, self-control and discipline can help one overcome difficult obstacles. This is the reason I fear for this planet because of the lack of discipline, self-control, and courage in generations, people are too consumed in materials and value-less possessions. It seems that Evil will always exist in this world, since many so called "Leaders" are crooked and corrupt, like the way many leaders acted, thousands of years in history. Yet there is always a struggle of dominance between Good and Evil, and if both cannot exist in peace and balance, then only one should exist.
yes by evil whispers deep within our heart , our blood and our mind it will continue because man were born from sin and we must repent for that purpose so that we don't lead ourselves to where lucifer or satan wants us to be in
They want you to feel guilty...to rob you all of your powers. Mankind is not born from sin and it is not a sin to be a living human being. Free yourself from the guilt and open your heart again. There is a lot of evil in the world, but never ever underestimate your power to fight for the right. This is what Kingdom Hearts is about.
Listening this today. After I had heart complications, 2 years suffering and examinations, and today, really today, docs told me my heart get back to normal and i'm free. It's powerful... Take care guys
Everytime i hear this all i think is ''The closer you get to the light...the bigger our shadow becomes...but don't be afraid...and remember...you are the one who will open the door...''
5:55 when I heard this part again, (since a long time ago) I'd imagine having to fight a boss that has my biggest fear, and worse. As well as that I'd unlikely win, regardless of my level or equipment (Or for the others, that the boss knew how to make you pretty much to scared to fight it.) 8:35 & for that part, I imagined that I did of course fail/lose and are struggling (for being weakened from the fight) to escape my inevitably approaching doom (The timestamp was set 3 secs. early so it won't be too sudden)
Maybe the greatest story of a game, The first kingdom of hearts.... So much memories , Nostalgia all over the place...back to a better time...ps2 times...
i played alot games as kid but kingdom heart series has a place in my heart. it brought on a whole new perspective for me. i was thrown into a completely different world from the usual games i played. i learned so much from the characters and the major themes in the game.
I remember seeing the advert for this game and i thought it was so cool seeing disney characters i loved watching all put into a video game, i remember hearing this music and saw the disney princesses as you go through the tutorial, it changed me , in some strange way. i dont know if it was because i was expecting just a happy disney game but the seriousness of this game as a kid i was not ready for. There were no spoilers either, it was a totally fresh experience which is not the case nowadays.
What immediately enchanted me about this game as a kid was seeing the opening end with a Disney Princess stained glass, then followed by this haunting theme. It was Disney but darker. I had never experienced anything like it before.
They say, hope, begins in the darkness. But most just flail around in the blackness, searching for their destiny. But the darkness, for me, is where I shine
0:00 1st verse the decision 2:03 2nd verse, falling in a dream as "E'gunta L'ora Destati"(The time has come, Awaken!) 2:28 3rd verse fighting heartless first time before drowned into darkness 3:05 4th verse, opening the door, and talking to Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka from FF 4:19 5th verse, Fragments of sorrow 5:57 6th verse, DARKSIDE BOSS 8:38 7th/Outro, with King Mickey speaking to sora in an unaudiable voice And thus,the Awakening.
Kid me (Below 10 years old) grew up with Disney. Then Pre-teen to Teen me experience Final Fantasy. Then saw this game being played at a rental. Curious to see the Disney and Final Fantasy casts in it. Then boom I am now a KH Fan.
When I listen to this song I wonder: If we all have Good and Evil in our heart, which one is leading me right now ? Where's the other me ? Does that mean that one of thoses can conquer my heart and change me forever ?
As a kid, hearing this type of music in a video game was very unique to me. So mysterious and chill...
Also seeing the Disney characters on the floor was one of the coolest and unique things to me as a kid.
@@gamerprince-tl5hg Dude, yes. I think I was 8, and thought Disney princesses were just girly tosh.

It was confirmed a long time ago. It was Mickey.
@@reddodeado301 really??

Yep. It was Mickey.
@@reddodeado301 Oh! I honestly didn't think it would be Mickey speaking.
I kind of expected it to be, maybe, Ven, or, maybe even, Ava.
@@cassinoelle4289 it was donald trump
"This world has been connected, tied to the darkness."
Everytime I feel myself going through a hard or difficult time in my life (or say like now where I am about to for the CPA exam)I immediately think of this song and how I will "fight through the darkness" to get to the other side...light (and can just have a life again lol). This probably sounds over-dramatic and knowing UA-cam none of you want to know my life story but you all understand what I mean.
I feel ya man. Gotta do what you gotta do to get through these tough times. By the way how did your exam go? Whats CPA anyway lol

5 years later you’re comment still means so much
F420 ain’t that the truth. Working in the accounting profession has thrown me some major curveballs. A couple months after I posted this comment I went through a terrible time in my life.
Vibes I don’t feel this way as much anymore but it’s a real scary feeling.
“Heroes who have vanquished all evil eventually turn to the path of darkness as well”
You hold the mightiest weapon of all
People saying "Oh, I remember when I was a kid, ah nostalgia, ah kid's game." I'm literally sitting here with my 22 years old ass on my couch, and going thru life with Kingdom Hearts, cause it gaves meaning to my mental health problems
The theme of a childhood
If I had awakening Voice I hope it's final words before the boss fight were
"You must take the first step Will you descend into the Light or will you Fall into the Darkness Only you can decide your Destiny."
So sora basically censors the disney trio in the smash version lol
No they are the ship and the star instead
I am listening to this right now with my newly adopted kitten, who I have dubbed Sora! He has a sleek black coat, reminding me of the darkness of this game, but is so high spirited like Sora. The name just fit so well!
Aww, he must be a true sweetheart, just like Sora!
“So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?”
my favorite video game of all time
This was the song that represented the deepest parts of your mind and soul. That inner world you entered to figure out who you truly were and what you valued, all whilst being guided by a mysterious voice that urged you to keep moving forward through the unknown. Stirred with fear but courageous enough to push on, you proceed through the abyss and eventually, you find the light. You encounter a momentary sigh of relief, just to find out the shadow behind you is awakening. You become filled with terror as it grows larger and larger. You try to run, but soon realize you're trapped with this darkness. You realize the only way out is for you to turn and fight ...
"But don't be afraid ...
You hold the mightiest weapon of all ... "
Does a blind man only see darkness? Do we who have the gift of sight, really see the light?
Ur comment blew my mind, I had to share it with everyone! ^_^
defry1234 Good question. That's a very good question indeed... Are we, who has blessed with gift of sight really able to the truth? I think we have. However if we realise this, we have stepped one step closer to light.
defry1234 One man blinded by light refuses it and turned to darkness, one who dwells in darkness will eventually accept the light, but darkness and light can't exist without each other. So why be afraid of both? Don't be afraid to chose... and always remember... May your heart be your guiding key.
yes it is only man that has no blind heart that can see light where the man that have a blind heart for there sin cannot see the light
The blind lead the sighted because they see with other senses. The light we see is not the only light there is in the Universe. Who's to say there blind when they can see something we have yet to understand.
Everyone else: "says something deep and philosophical.
Me: Dis is gud song. Is nice
🔥
read it in hovi's voice
One of the best game openings ever
The power of the mystic...
Mario threw the keyblade and brought Sora into smash
"Ones born of the heart and darkness, devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation. Seize all hearts and consummate the great heart. All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all. Realize the destiny: the realm of Kingdom Hearts.
The great darkness sealed within the great heart. Progeny of darkness, come back to the eternal darkness. For the heart of light shall unseal the path. Seven hearts, one Keyhole, one key to the door. The door of darkness, tied by two keys. The door to darkness to seal the light. None shall pass but shadows, returning to the darkness.
One born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until the dark door opens."
- Ansem the Wise
Was it Ansem the Wise who wrote this or his apprentice who stole the name?
The power of the warrior...
4:20 on is the best
I never realized that fragments of sorrow starts in Auroras platform bc Maleficent is one of the main villains of the game
this is the song that defined the first game - dark, eerie, dreamlike, cryptic.
if only i could play this game for the first time again, to relive the feeling :3
"Destati" means "Wake up" in Italian.
But when I'm listening to this music... I never want to wake up !
This makes my mind literally fall asleep. I question about who, abd what I am.
Am i a person who wields the darkness? Or am i a person who claims the light.
What is my destiny. What an i suppose to do. What power, could
I hold, that may, or will change tje world.
I could stand out as a real hippie now: You are the light. You are the world, but you as the world (the collective conciousness called god) experience yourself as an individual aspect of itself. A single color of the rainbow from when the light breaks. And as the individual the world wants fullfill the reason to why it has split into separate pieces: to experience. Different parts of itself/yourself by moving between light and darkness.
Sorry but a spiritual teacher told me this once and I just had to share this now that I saw the chance cause it sounds so epic xD
Ryan Hyuga ur propably a 16 year old that plays too much videogames
Your mind isn't going to sleep, it's awakening.
The music has a HUGE reason why I love and play the series over and over again. Am I right?
This actually very similar to the soundtrack for the end of the world, and i actually like it :)
That's the point. It could be saying the end is only the beginning
The Kingdom to our Hearts have been unlocked as Sora joins Smash..!!
The beginning to a journey we won’t soon forget. A bond forged with a beloved character and game. All of life is but a journey one should choose for oneself. If not for the diving into ones destiny then it should be done for the belief that all can be right with oneself through journeying into a world vastly filled with obstacles and lessons waiting to be learned. To master the heart takes time. And with time one will find the key to unlocking the true purpose of ones chosen journey.
But don't be afraid.
You hold the mightiest weapon of all.
So don't forget: You are the one who will open the door.
We humans are a species of balance a mix of two sides the light and the dark.
One can't exist without the other that is why even in the brightest of places have the darkest shadow
Some people say, Good and Evil both must exist in a balance, but they usually are unbalanced and Evil usually becomes unstable, though at times good and evil can be balanced, it can't be trusted, since there is always a power struggle. When the light begins to fade and hope seems lost, look to the stars and the Heavens, for hope shines bright. Decades, centuries, or millennia's from now, it is said the Ultimate Battle will occur between Good and Evil, the good souls will be able to immortality exist and thrive, the bad souls will return to their grotesque and rotten corpses that rise from the dead, as they are forever damned, spending the rest of eternity in a sorrowful state of regret and shame. Why does it seem like the good souls don't stay on earth for long, they are usually taken from us by evil, as evil usually seems to thrive on earth for as long as it likes. Don't let Lucifer fool you and us, May the Almighty bless you and us, amen.
Evil can be unstable sometimes, but what would happen if the Good also turn unstable, which can happen too.
People become filled with the feeling of being a God's menssenger or a symbol of Justice, but in the end, things turn out of control and the "good" only turns into a chaotic good. People have both sides in their heart, Good and Evil, but if you let one of those domain your heart, things will not end very well. It's like Sora, even when he turns into his Anti-form, a embodyment of his own inner darkness, he still have the power to control it and not lose hinself in the darkness.
Yes, self-control and discipline can help one overcome difficult obstacles. This is the reason I fear for this planet because of the lack of discipline, self-control, and courage in generations, people are too consumed in materials and value-less possessions. It seems that Evil will always exist in this world, since many so called "Leaders" are crooked and corrupt, like the way many leaders acted, thousands of years in history. Yet there is always a struggle of dominance between Good and Evil, and if both cannot exist in peace and balance, then only one should exist.
Just
Damn
yes by evil whispers deep within our heart , our blood and our mind it will continue because man were born from sin and we must repent for that purpose so that we don't lead ourselves to where lucifer or satan wants us to be in
They want you to feel guilty...to rob you all of your powers. Mankind is not born from sin and it is not a sin to be a living human being. Free yourself from the guilt and open your heart again. There is a lot of evil in the world, but never ever underestimate your power to fight for the right. This is what Kingdom Hearts is about.
5:58 When the Darkside come...
Light can not exist without a source. But darkness is eternal.
Here we are, from the beginning, into Smash
Listening this today. After I had heart complications, 2 years suffering and examinations, and today, really today, docs told me my heart get back to normal and i'm free. It's powerful...
Take care guys
Maybe it's just me, but this song never fails to somehow always be going through my head right before/during taking a huge test
Everytime i hear this all i think is ''The closer you get to the light...the bigger our shadow becomes...but don't be afraid...and remember...you are the one who will open the door...''
Listening to this after all dem years...oh my feelz ;/
Memories from 2002 :'(
4:18
This part gives me chills...
This song sums up what parts of the series i like the most
This theme
It's so dreadfully empty yet.. inexplicably beautiful
Vasman Basi And surprisingly calming and relaxing
Reminiscing those times...what a time to be alive it was back then..time flies man..
5:55 when I heard this part again, (since a long time ago) I'd imagine having to fight a boss that has my biggest fear, and worse. As well as that I'd unlikely win, regardless of my level or equipment
(Or for the others, that the boss knew how to make you pretty much to scared to fight it.)
8:35 & for that part, I imagined that I did of course fail/lose and are struggling (for being weakened from the fight) to escape my inevitably approaching doom
(The timestamp was set 3 secs. early so it won't be too sudden)
ARWINGx1 ....But Remember....you hold the greatest weapon of all....
Sepiroth in a nutshell
Back when the Shadow heartless seemed actually terrifying
I'll interrupt you Halo but Kingdom Hearts has the best video game music of all time, ALL TIME
Bring back so much memory, this game was awesome
Maybe the greatest story of a game, The first kingdom of hearts.... So much memories , Nostalgia all over the place...back to a better time...ps2 times...
i played alot games as kid but kingdom heart series has a place in my heart. it brought on a whole new perspective for me. i was thrown into a completely different world from the usual games i played. i learned so much from the characters and the major themes in the game.
From the promise of an epic adventure and grand story worth remembering, to a miserable wet shart. How this series has fallen.
I remember seeing the advert for this game and i thought it was so cool seeing disney characters i loved watching all put into a video game, i remember hearing this music and saw the disney princesses as you go through the tutorial, it changed me , in some strange way. i dont know if it was because i was expecting just a happy disney game but the seriousness of this game as a kid i was not ready for. There were no spoilers either, it was a totally fresh experience which is not the case nowadays.
What immediately enchanted me about this game as a kid was seeing the opening end with a Disney Princess stained glass, then followed by this haunting theme. It was Disney but darker. I had never experienced anything like it before.
They say, hope, begins in the darkness. But most just flail around in the blackness, searching for their destiny. But the darkness, for me, is where I shine
"All that gallivanting through the Sleeping Worlds, and yet you learned nothing."
0:00 1st verse the decision
2:03 2nd verse, falling in a dream as "E'gunta L'ora Destati"(The time has come,
Awaken!)
2:28 3rd verse fighting heartless first time before drowned into darkness
3:05 4th verse, opening the door, and talking to Tidus, Selphie, and Wakka from FF
4:19 5th verse, Fragments of sorrow
5:57 6th verse, DARKSIDE BOSS
8:38 7th/Outro, with King Mickey speaking to sora in an unaudiable voice And thus,the Awakening.
SORA IS IN SMAAAASH
This is other worldly, lordly, I might say, this feels something I would hear in heaven…
やっぱり聞いててテンション上がる
大好き♥
And my personal response to that: "The light shines brighter in the dark" =)
Who else notices a similarity between this and "End of the World", especially later in the track?
Sunlight Blaze intentional
Sunlight Blaze ...you do know that was the point right?
Sunlight Blaze 0l
The end is only the beginning
I love the third part of the soundtrack at 4:20. It gives me fantasy, mysterious and adventure vibes. So nostalgic !
Kingdom Hearts... sounds like hope to a eternal fight between light and darkness
To become a true Warrior of Light, you must contend with your inner-most darkness
Don't be afraid !
Don’t..... Be..... Afraid......
Truly a beautiful tune, even to this day. Ive honestly taken the feeling and quotes of this game to heart when it talks about darkness.
Kid me (Below 10 years old) grew up with Disney. Then Pre-teen to Teen me experience Final Fantasy. Then saw this game being played at a rental. Curious to see the Disney and Final Fantasy casts in it. Then boom I am now a KH Fan.
Sora's in smash
When I listen to this song I wonder: If we all have Good and Evil in our heart, which one is leading me right now ? Where's the other me ? Does that mean that one of thoses can conquer my heart and change me forever ?
