In simpler terms most of the kingdom hearts games are a slight Platformer hack and slash Adventure game with magic, amazing cutscenes, tons emotional weight for the story and there being no “side games” as they include into the overall story as the main numbered games are mostly about the Main Character Sora in his journey with the titles such as 358/2 days and birth by sleep being both introduction to new characters giving more insight to what they’ve been through due to the main villain and how they connect to Sora. The command menu of the main numbered games can be thought of as how arcade fighting games have to do different moves to do special attacks/magic if that helps with memorizing what you’re trying to reach without distracting your attention to it too often, like knowing how many times you have to press down on the directional buttons but on later titles there are shortcuts so you don’t need to worry much. It’s sincerely a fun game with tons of mini games in each. Would highly recommend streaming your first time playing the game.

Fun fact: The game's composer, Yoko Shimomura, left Square Enix to become a freelance composer in 2002 and was considering full retirement after finding out she was pregnant a bit later. Fortunately, Square called her to continue working on Kingdom Hearts and she proceeded to work endlessly on the series, going as far as working on the music until about 20 hours before she gave birth. Twenty years later and she's now renowned as one of the best in the business and still works on the music for the series. To say she has a passion for the franchise would be the understatement of the century. With regard to Dearly Beloved, however, she came up with the song after getting her hands on an early build and playing the first world in the game, Destiny Islands. She was blown away by the seemingly endless expanse of the ocean and the melody popped up while she thought about the sea and its waves. The end result was one of two non-vocal songs that immediately pop into the average person's mind when they think "Kingdom Hearts" (The other song being Destati, the first track ever composed for the game)

I recommend the various versions of Dearly Beloved. The major games each have a different version of it, and they're almost like representations of the theme and mood of the games. To clarify: This song is not usually in-game. It's the main menu song. If you choose to just play immediately you will end up skipping this song. You should 1000% play this game immediately. Just start at KH1 and play in release order. Final Mix versions are just re-releases with extra content that was cut for time or never translated, so go for those on modern consoles OR PC EDIT: You MUST listen to Sora's Theme and Roxas's Theme. Two characters who share so many similarities, but are completely different at the same time. You'll have to listen to the Kingdom Hearts 2 ORIGINAL versions though, as KH1 does not have a version for those two. There were no character themes back then.

So Dearly Beloved is the theme in the sense it’s always the first song you hear, it’s the theme mainly for the main menu but also picks up in a few other places as well, like shows up in parts of other songs too. And don’t worry about feeing emotional over it, that’s how many times it’s happened to others too. (I found out about Nier a few months before Automata was announced because of the music. Grandma made me cry and Blu-bird made me head-bang, I had all the feels lol.) The simplest and basic spoiler-free summary for Kingdom Hearts is three friends believe that their island is a small world (star) in the sky and want to leave to see other worlds, their main proof is the only female, Kairi, who washed ashore one day randomly. They manage to leave the island but get caught up in a centuries long war over the good of light and bad of evil, with each of the three friends unknowingly becoming an important piece of each side. It’s very famous for having a LOT of lore (and also a lot hidden in reading and spanning like 9 games), so a lot of people joke the story can be hard or impossible to understand. But for dedicated fans of the series who dive into the lore it’s an emotional rollercoaster of friendship, betrayal, and how no one person is ever truly just good or evil. It’s a third-person action adventure game but has menus and things that work similar to Final Fantasy (attack, magic, summon, item). Nomura has created an incredible series where every time we figure something out he creates a twist no one expects, and Yoko Shimoura has created stunning soundtracks that have left a legacy. If you’re interested in Shimoura’s other soundtracks I’d definitely recommend some of her famous works like Parasite Eve (I’ve voted that a couple times in other comments lol), Final Fantasy XV, Mario + Luigi Superstar, and Rise of Mana. Also will forever request Nier songs, like A Beautiful Song, Grandma, Blu-bird or Weight of the World (End of YorHa edition).

That version is much bigger with sounds like a full orchestra. Dearly Beloved was also one of the tracks played during the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics. Another KH track you should definitely listen to is "Vector to the Heavens (Xion)"

08:08 "Were those waves in the background as well?" Yes. The story starts on Destiny Island, a place where Sora, the main playable character, wants to leave to set off on an adventure, but also the island is symbolic things he has lost and struggles to get back. So being an island, there is waves. 08:12 "When is this song played in the game?" It is menu music, but also occurs throughout the game. 08:21 "...this is supposed to be the number one, the song I should have reacted to first" No. Though Dearly Beloved is in almost every KH game, I believe you were correct to react to the openings first. 08:47 "I don't know what the whole story is" Super generic info: it is a good vs evil/light vs dark themed story. Boy & friends want to set off on an adventure and somehow gets involved it big events. Quite frankly due to the number of games and the complicated nature of the story, there is no simple explanation of the story. There are internet memes about KH players trying & failing to explain the story to non-KH players. One redit post claims the total cutscene time for the entire KH series is almost 54hrs (specifically 3239 mins) based on KZfaq video lengths for the cutscenes. Edit: fixed timestamp

Here's a list of songs from kingdom hearts songs I recommend with a bit of context without spoiling too much and video links at the bottom 1. "Don't Think Twice" from Kingdom Hearts 3 - The end credits theme from KH3 and the last Utada Hikaru song from kingdom hearts that you haven't heard yet (not sure I recommend watching the actual scene from the game because it has some spoilers) 2. "The Other Promise" from Kingdom Hearts 2 - Tragic boss fight theme from one of the best fights is the series 3. "Vector To The Heavens" from Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days - Another tragic boss theme but this time from what is probably the most tragic game in the series 4. "Rage Awakened" from Kingdom Hearts 2 - Plays for one of the most difficult fights in the series and also plays for the final boss in another kingdom hearts game (the 2.5 ReMIX version has best quality) 5. "Darkness Of The Unknown" from Kingdom Hearts 2 - This is the final boss theme of KH2 it's 7 minutes long because each phase of the fight has its own part of the song that loops until you beat it 6. "Riku" from Kingdom Hearts 2 - This song represents a character named Riku (I think the 2.5 version is better but I've seen some people disagree so I'm not sure which one you should go with) 7. "Musique pour la tristesse de Xion" from Kingdom hearts 358/2 Days - This is another character theme this one represents a character named Xion and it's like a slower sadder version of Vector To The Heavens (Video links) 1.

A (LONG) list of some cool ones to check out if you're interested (You could literally pick any off the list at random): Dearly Beloved - Pretty much every version is brilliant and worth a listen (and bits of it are in SEVERAL songs throughout the series, it's amazing how it's integrated throughout the OST and series itself) Destati - My favorite version is probably 3rd inception which has all the different phase transitions (either that or End of the World) A Very Small Wish Hollow Bastion March Caprice - the end Credit theme from the first game Traverse Town Afternoon Streets Lazy Afternoon The Other Promise DARKNESS OF THE UNKNOWN (THE FULL VERSION) Cavern of Remembrance Dance of the Daring Keyblade Graveyard Rage Awakening Sacred Moon (probably the most obvious use of Dearly Beloved) Waltz of the Damned Forza Finale - BIG piece that combines all the previous main villain themes (which if you do ever listen to this should be heard after their pieces, L'Eminenza Oscura, L'Oscurità dell'Ignoto, Forze Dell'Oscurita, and L'Impeto Oscuro) Master of Masters Stranded Beyond Vector to the Heavens (which should be heard after "Musique pour la tristesse de Xion" since it's a companion piece) Nachtflügel Dark Impetus Dismiss (Terra-Xehanort) True Darkness And about 50 more but I'll leave it at that.

Few more OST from Kingdom Hearts series that I love so much, highly recommanded : - Cavern of Remembrance (Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix) - Roxas's Theme and/or The Other Promise (both in one video ? - Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix) - Aqua's Theme (Dark Dive - Kingdom Hearts 3) - Rise of the Union (Kingdom Hearts 3)

Strictly speaking, this is the version from Kingdom Hearts 2. The *Original* Kingdom Hearts Dearly Beloved did not include the Always on My Mind motif. Every game that happens after KH1 Chronologically does.

Yeah, this is not the original. But whoever made this video labeled it as such. Kind of annoying.

Voici la liste des morceaux de Kingdom Hearts qui sont pour nous les fans, juste incroyable... Pour les morceaux épique - The other promise ( une version avec une orchestration plus épique ) elle reprend le thème de roxas - Vector to the heavens - musique pour la tristesse de xion - l'eminenza oscura kingdom Hearts 3 remind - forze del male - Treasured memories ( orchestra World tour ) - Destati ( orchestra World tour ) - rage awakened Morceau plus cool et triste - Musique pour la tristesse de Xion - Lazy afternoon - Kairi's theme - Aqua's theme Chaque kingdom Hearts à son propre dearly beloved, je te conseille celui de Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days qui est très expressif, celui de kingdom Hearts HD Dream drop distance et celui de Kingdom Hearts 3. Ensuite tu peux regarder la fin secrète de Kingdom Hearts 2, c'est une des meilleures scènes de Kingdom Hearts 2 avec une musique vraiment magnifique ( voici le lien ) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/araTd7iW0sm6qGQ.html

I believe this song was supposed to mimic a heartbeat. Plus, I think you have to only worry about copyright for songs with lyrics or anything that is specifically a "Disney" song.

Enter The Darkness is a really good boss theme imo. Its second version, Unbreakable Chains, is particularly intense when playing the console remake of BBS.

You should also check out the openings to each game albeit they are variations of Simple & Clean and Sanctuary but those openings really have impact

alright so one thing I'd love to see now is you reacting to Kyle Landry's renditions of Dearly Beloved, cause the mad lad did 11 or 12 different piano arrangements of that ost

If you want a video game OST that's charged with heart-breaking emotion, check out "To Zanarkand" from Final Fantasy X.
@LezardNeos Жыл бұрын
You definitely should play those games either on stream (which I will watch for sure) or for personal entertainment. I can assure you'll get emotional. Also check Don't Think Twice, another song for the series by Utada Hikaru.

I think the ost "la tristesse de xion" or xion sadness in english, is one of the most emotional song of the kingdom hearts. If you have time, please listen, it's a great journey

You should do more Cowboy Bobop anime OST "The Real Folk Blues" - rock/jazz song "Space Lion" - melancholic sax song "Rain (Demo version)" - iconic song used as the prelude to the "church shoot-out scene" "Green Bird" - iconic song used after the "church shoot-out scene"

As some others have probably already mentioned, Dearly Beloved has different renditions for each entry of the game series, including the mobile game. My personal favorite version is the newest one from the newest game Melody of Memory. A Rhythm game for the Kingdom Hearts series. It has the biggest change being a jazz version of theme called Dearly Beloved: Swing Version. Link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d5yfnqqQs9jPdWw.html I also highly recommend reacting/listening to rock covers of the Kingdom Hearts songs by a youtuber called Garik Wheeler. He has a version of Dearly Beloved that combines the different versions of all the games out at the time. Link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iayfpLOJ0a--eYE.html KH2 and 358/2 days version of dearly beloved are considered the most emotional. In my opinion.

Considering you love the composer's music so much in this series, I would devinitly suggest one of her more recent works, the soundtrack to Final Fantasy XV. OMNIS LACRIMA, or Somnus for sure. Somnus is so full of emotion, and you really have that subtle KH vibe, but far more mature.

Not sure if someone brought this up but there is actual lore over the main theme too. It's meant to be the song of the hearts of two of the main characters together.

Final Fantasy X/X-2 I know you are a bit worried about the track length with FF, but the following are short. FFX - "To Zanarkand"/ "Zanarkand" Length: ~3min FFX - "Suteki da ne" Length: ~5:35 FFX - "Otherworld" (Jecht's Battle Theme) Length: ~3:16, a harsh vocal metal song FFX-2 - "1000 Words" Length: ~4:01
