Thanks a lot for fullfilling my request🙏🏻🌹 much appreciated

If you are interested, the title of the track is Darkness of the Unknown. You're right thinking this is more about the situation. The chaos in the second movement stems from the fact that Sora and Riku, the main characters, are chasing and fighting an all-powerful foe, who warps reality and throws literal buildings at them to destroy them. But they prevail... only to be dragged in a place that doesn't exist, where there's no time. In that third movement, Xemnas, leader of Organization XIII and most powerful of beings that are not supposed to be, accept that he lost to these boys... and tries to drag them with him while he falls down fighting. That's where the melancholic tone of the movement comes from.

I have to say Xemnas is up there as one of the best final bosses in gaming. The track definitely sets the tone and hearing it years later immediately throws you back into sora’s shoes slicing up buildings and blocking way too many lasers.

Kingdom hearts series really has some insane composition by yoko shimomura, she's an amazing composer and you've surely reacted to her songs on this channel before, she realy know how to make music

6:29 "Anger and hate are supreme" everytime it gets to that part I always heards those words in my head.

This track is missing: "You shall go together... " *_"GUARD!!!!"_* "Cursed Keyblade.... "

I can hear the SFX from moves and voice lines from the final fight sequence while listening to this

You're not wrong about KH stuff. You could react to the entire soundtrack and find motifs shared. See "Organization XIII" or the other battle theme for its members "The Thirteenth Struggle". Both are great songs

You should try the final mix version as well. The orchestra breathes a whole new life into the track, especially the second movement.

I would HIGHLY recommend listening to the updated version of this track - almost a decade after Kingdom Hearts 2's initial launch, the game was rereleased officially as "Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix" with updated graphics and additional content along with soundtrack, which was entirely redone from the ground up with much higher quality instruments/VST's. Glad to see this beloved series STILL getting some love on this channel after all these years

To me, Yoko Shimomura is the greatest composer in the industry. Her work on the KH games and FFXV isn't just "carrying Uematsu's torch", she IS one of the OGs. She composed for Street Fighter II, Super Mario RPG, the Mana series, and her style is unmistakable when you've listened to enough of her. In fact, most JRPG music "sounds like Yoko Shimomura", rather than KH being derivative.

KINGDOM HEARTS 2 HAS SUCH FUCKING PEAKKKKKKKKKK TRACKS

Fun Fact: the woman that composes for the Kingdom Hearts series, Yoko Shimomura, also composed the music for the Mario and Luigi RPG series.

I'd also recommend listing to the final mix version of this song, really enhances the instruments to not sound so synth-ey and, bizarrely, changes to pipe organ to strings during that second phase. Either way, great reaction, hope to see more KH in the future!

Basically Kingdom Hearts games are Final Fantasy characters combined with Disney worlds and characters.

This theme encompasses three different phases of the same boss fight.

YES! My favorite boss theme

There is an updated version of this game's soundtrack with proper real instruments with the Kingdom Hearts 2.5 (KH2, Birth by Sleep and ReCoded bundled)

I think it speaks wonder about Nobuo Uematsu's legacy and inspiration when you can think a song he hasn't compose really feel like something he has composed ^^

We need more kingdom hearts music reactions!! Love you Atlas!

It's always a treat watching people that do music for a living react to KH's soundtrack

I'm glad you did an analysis of this track from my favorite entry of the series. If you ever get the chance to, take a listen to the music track known as Dark Impetus. Though it's known by another name in Kingdom hearts DDD. L'impeto Oscuro.

they also remade the entire soundtrack with a full orchestra if you would like to give it a listen.

Those damn palm lightsabers...

there's awesome remix of this called Duet of the Keyblade Masters OC ReMix from years and years ago

hell yes! youve gotta play kingdom hearts 1 and 2 if you havent already in your own time. if you havent, seeing a play through of those two games on this channel would be INCREDIBLE

There’s music that themes the different disney worlds that exemplifies disney but the dramatic, story-prescient music sounds pretty final fantasy.

Oh man, you should check out the orchestral arrangement that came with the re-release 8 years later.

Very interested to hear your thoughts on other pieces from Kingdom Hearts. The majority of the music is undeniably a blast. Good vibes sent :)

It doesn't feel complete without Xemnas throwing out insults trying to manipulate Sora and Riku haha. Love this series with all my Heart.

This fight is divided on 3 stages, of each one version of the track, wile the first 2 stages you fight Xenmas godly form. The final stage is just the human form with the calming music in the background

2:01 basically lol with a Disney Skin. 4:23 it goes even deeper. It’s less to do about “Who He is” and more so to do about “What He is”. This Boss Fight is one of my favorites. It’s utilizes all the mechanics of the game while pairing you with the friend the MC had been searching for over 2 Games. Also Xemnas has and shoots Lightsabers.

this version that you are listening to is done via synth. The remastered version from the 2.5 version of the soundtrack uses an actual orchestra, so if you wanted to get a better sense of the instrumentation for future Kingdom Hearts music, I recommend looking at the 1.5 or 2.5 versions of those OSTs

Ooo if you like this you should do Master of Masters, the song is really telling of his personality and function in the story also yoko uses disconcordant notes mastefully!

"Darkness is the heart's true essence!"

he should head the 2.5 version

The same composer did the music for FF15 and it was one of the best soundtracks I have ever heard. Omnis Lacrima is the first song that comes to mind. If you haven't already heard that soundtrack you should give it a shot!

You should listen to the final mix versions of kingdom hearts 1/2 music, its generally more polished and refined

listening to this without the gameplay actually gives me chills you could put this music with any final battle and it would work😂😂

There are many ,,Xemnas-Themes" in the games of Kingdom Hearts. Every one is cool in my opinion. My favorite is the theme of the final battle with xemnas in KH2. (the third phase of this track you reacted here) :D

Man, you should really listen to his KH3 theme song, it's amazing!

Lmao “you shall go together”

You should do 'Kingdom Hearts 3 - Scala Ad Caelum' 6min long but the loop is about a min and ½ long. Battle theme but beautiful

Been a while since I heard the original version of this song instead of the remaster.

The driving force behind ttheir song is its incredible energy. A suggestion as well! October Ends' new song is on a whole other level. You should react to their new song! 🔥

Anger and hate are supreme

"we shall go together"

Actually I think Xemnas' theme is called Disappeared (it's what plays in his first encounter in KH1 and first fight in KH2) and it sounds pretty crazy. Darkness of the Unknown (which is what this track is called) is probably my favorite battle theme in KH (not this version though, the updated HD version of it).

"Perhaps there are some songs that combine Final Fantasy and Disney style" [convulses in Castle of Dreams]

You should listen / react to the final theme for KH3, “Dark Domination.” That theme had my emotions soaring around the room. Outside of that, anything from final fantasy 15 is a masterpiece. Great vid.

Try "The 13th struggle" from the kingdom hearts 2 ost if you enjoyed this one! The ost for KH2 is filled with great tracks.

Definitely do more Kingdom hearts boss music! Yoko Shimorua is amazing.

This may be the theme for the final battle, but this isn't Xemnas's actual personal battle theme, that song is called Disappeared and is used in your first fight against him, before he get his final boss powerup.

Brother man kingdom hearts music is goated

One of the best theme's of Kingdom hearts.❤❤❤

I think you'll like the song l'oscurita dell'ignoto it's another xemnas theme

I don’t know why square refuses to make as epic tracks like this for their last few final bosses

CONFLICT Of course; Terra "is" there I mean... you can tell that only for the music? Was Terranort a thing in KH Team's minds by 2005? My god

1. 0:20 Battle against giant enemy dragon building 2: 1:20 Battle against armor xemnas 3: 6:28 A final fight

If you’re looking for a song fusing both, I’d recommend Fantasia Alla Marcia. It’s the end credit song of KH2 and it has a lot more undertones that feel Disney like, while incorporating the spirit of final fantasy. At least in my uneducated opinion

Try to listen to the 2.5 remastered version of this track as well if you have the time. They add more orchestra touch in 2.5, it should be an interesting piece for you to look on. Also, the track name is "Darkness of Unknown". I believe there were others that already comment this, but just an extra reminder.

Ho boy, I see Kingdom Hearts :D

Hey, can you react to “A Fight To The Death” from Kingdom hearts 2.5? It’s also apart of the final boss ost’s that wasn’t included in this video.

now you opened a can of worms

Darkness of the Unknown.

please do more!!! some suggestions may be --> Fate of the unknown (2.5 rmx) Missing you (2.5 rmx) Vector to heavens (kh3) Roxas theme (kh2) Musique pour la tristesse de xion

For the first time i preferred the remix version over the original it just goes so much harder

If you are doing kingdom hearts, try Nachtflügel from Kingdom Hearts 3

I wanna know what hed think of vector to the heavens

👀 what do you think about Edge of Existence from KH3?

YO Atlus, I'd love it if u react to Kingdom of Predators and give your thoughts on the theme. I think you'll have a lot to say

This version is the ps2 version so it sounds very MIDI. I recommend listenng to the new hd remix version which is fully orchestrated. It sounds a million times better!

As a fan of kingdom hearts and Xemnas himself, darness of the unknow has always definetly to me described the situation but also xemnas as a character being the lord of nothingness you sometimes at least to me can feel this dread and doubt that is built up by his story

Did you do roxas and xion theme in kingdom hearts

If you like this then plz listen to “The other promises “ from kh2 it’s up there as one of my favorite in this game

I think you listened to some KH stuff a few years ago?

i don't know ... i think this is not the final boss but yeah is one of the last ones

The soundtrack of KH2 is actually a lot better when listening to the versions from the II.5 HD Re:MIX Collection.

Darkness of the Unknown is peak, wish you reacted to the full thing instead of just this second part but whatever

You gotta react to xion theme it’s so amazing

Wait, why not analyze the updated Kingdom Hearts 2.5 version of Darkness of the Unknown? The KH2 version is kind of dated at this point.

I'm surprised you actually heard any of the song, you kept getting lost in your thoughts while listening

You should listen to “You will know our names” from Xenoblade Chronicles, I prefer the version that is in the definitive edition

React the Legend of Zelda Twilight princesse staff credits

do 13th struggle

Everyone who listens to kh music always picks the wrong version lol. The 2.5 version of this is significantly better.

actually its not really xemnas theme it called duet of the keyblade masters meaning its the 2 main characters theme
