Xehanort: You forget I plan for every eventuality. If I loss a fight, then I fight again. If I loss that fight, then I fight some more. I've done it through twelve other versions of myself already, so what then would one more mean. I shall not rest. I shall not quit. I can do this. It is etch.
“That _dull, ordinary boy._ So unlike any Keyblade Wielder I’ve ever seen. Housing _three_ separate hearts - including his own Nobody and a Replica - within his own, until such a time that he would return them to their own bodies. No formal training, with a Keyblade passed down by necessity rather than a Master’s intent. Flanked by no more than a castle guard and a court magician. And yet _he_ is the one to face me in the skies above Scala Ad Caelum, under the Light of Kingdom Hearts itself. Only this _spectacular, extraordinary boy_ could wield the X-Blade to its fullest potential.”
I recall someone once making the point that this is pretty much what makes Sora the ideal opponent for Xehanort: He's too earnest, straightforward and, well, _simple_ for a master schemer like Xehanort to properly account for. Once he has an idea of who his enemy is, he's almost impossible to manipulate, discourage or psyche out, he'll just charge on and beat you up.
The BBS trio would have mopped the floor with Xehanort in literally any other circumstances than the ones they found themselves in. GG Kingdom Hearts never happened because Ven wasn't an idiot.
The most beautiful thing about this fight for me was the fact that Sora wasn't fighting Xehanort alone. Donald and Goofy stood beside him and fought together with Sora, just as they did in Kingdom Hearts 1. They weren't standing by the sidelines like in KH2 but truly helped Sora save the world and for that decision to have them alongside Sora instead of Riku I applaud Square Enix.
Hell, you could even say they're more loyal to Sora than their own king at this point. Even at the end, they still offered to go with him to go get Kairi back.
Jephed I still feel as if there should be been phases against Xehanort where the party member just constantly swapped, it could’ve been even in spirit or in a dream sequence while Sora “died” right at the end or something, symbolic shit I don’t care, it just feels odd to me that none of these original characters who he has wronged more than ANYBODY else especially more than Donald and Goofy, got the chance to get their payback. The whole act of them all needing to stay back was something that just did not at all need to be a thing...
Superslash I agree and honestly riku should have really been one of the characters to beat the shit out of Xehanort considering that mother fuckers heart has been hunting him since kingdom hearts 1 what a super missed opportunity 👎
In a way he did. Xehanort bequethed the X-blade to Sora, but I don't think Sora's a Keyblade Master yet. Yen Sid has to be the one to hand the title to Sora. Or Aqua can do it too in KH4.
Sora: defeats Organization Xlll twice, defeats Xehanort, gets X-blade bequeathed to him, also saves Aqua, Ventus, Terra, Xion & Roxas... Yen Sid: But you still didn’t pass that mark of mastery exam...
Kristi Gunn “Ok you know what, I don’t even care anymore if you call me a master or not. All you ever did was sit around a chair for years and help us out once at the last minute.

Interesting interpretation. I had a lot of emotions going into this battle and now it is interesting to see how it is interpreted by others who waited for this battle for so long.
It can be both. Xehanort seems to think that the universe requires a clean slate to be set right. Sora seems to disagree with that. It is true that the winner is the one who decides the outcome.
Yo the part where he knocks Sora out and you think you actually died & have to start all over😭😭😭 I was about to cry, before I realized it was part of the game. ALSO when his heart beats and you hear Donald and Goofy calling out from the audio in the controller (for PS4 users) scared the shit out of me lol it was fucking sick though, I’ll never forget how my heart stopped during that whole bit
wait donald and goofy calls out to you with the ps4 controller speaker!? i didn't know that see i played with headphones so that's why damn that kinda cool
The first time that happened to me I was wondering if there was something I was supposed to do to deflect his attack that I didn’t do. Then I caught on.
Kairi's Letter: "There are many worlds, but they share the same sky -: one sky, one destiny." Believes that everyone shares common beliefs and good within them. There's light within everyone. Xehanort in the Final Battle: "There is but one sky! One destiny!" Believes his belief and ideal of greater good supersedes anyone else. Darkness dwells in everyone's hearts.
This theme is hype. It captures the dire circumstances surrounding the battle. At this point in the game, Xehanort has all but won.

The blend of the Final Boss themes from both Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2 is so well done and cathartic. I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
This whole theme really screams "Kingdom Hearts". I remember nearly crying while playing this boss fight. Ansem, Terra-Xehanort, Xemnas, Young Xehanort, it all leads to this. This is it. This is where it all truly ends. 17 years of my favorite video game franchise has finally come to an end.
@@oliviapenner2676 i like to see it as this is a different Master Xehanort than the one that is Terra-Xehanort so his voice is different. (Ik i miss him too)

@@arristheround9246 Sorry, it was a bit harsh. LP'er I mod comments for was approaching KH3 and the rest of the crew were talking it up, he was hyped, and I guess every single negative thing I ever had to say about KH3 were getting shot through the roof. Honestly, it's really not as bad as I wanted to believe. I mean KH1 and KH2 are better, no doubt, but to ignore the maddening amounts of love and passion poured into every single solitary inch of that Blu-Ray disc is the most idiotic thing to do. Stilllllllllll not a major fan of the finale of the base game. The main Re:Mind campaign though, like the WHOLE thing? Including the boss rush, including the horde fight, including Mickey's last stand, and Kairi's boss fight, and the connecting of keyholes until the whole sky lit up? Peak Kingdom Hearts right there. That whole sequence is this brilliant microcosm of everything I love about the series.
@@theinimitablejora522 ill just say..... gba chain of memories. The final boss of soras story was just.... meh. Thats what I would say is the most underwhelming final boss in the series imo. But to each their own
I think the theme is perfect. Previous final boss themes always were about the character you fought. It was HIS personal theme. This theme however has parts which in general represent the whole franchise, and the rage awakened part feels like is owned by sora in that moment. To sum it up, it represents a final battle and lots of memories from past games.
@@platinumvoid1648 but the rage is all Sora now. Especially since Xehanort just murdered Kairi right in front of him. Not to mention Rage Awakened being the theme for the trailers of this game. And remember that Sora has been basically using Terra's inhereted keyblade.
The theme is good because it incorporates Ansems theme, Xemnas's theme, Terra Xehanorts, and Xehanorts theme. The song is the cumulative of all being put back together aka Xehanorts battle theme
The song only incorporates themes from Destati and Rage Awakened, everything else in between is original. I don't know where you got all that other stuff from.
This wasnt about the thirteen darknesses and seven lights. Sora had a score to settle with Master Xehanort for all that he's done. The emotion of this song explains Sora's no everyones anger towards Master Xehanort and how Sora had a job to finish.
Gene yeah it’s only when that whole part kicks in really that it gets you going Well actually I like when that rage awakened part comes in for a second too
@Jordan First Eraqus, and now Kairi. How many more lives is he ready and willing to take in cold blood just to re-enact a piece of history that never should have happened in the first place? How many more!?
In all of Kingdom Hearts, even when I played this before critical mode was out, this is by far THE hardest boss battle. People say this game was easy on Proud but I think it's a reverse of KH2 where instead of the endgame bosses being surprisingly easy, in KH3 every boss starting at Davy Jones will kick your ASS no questions asked. And then there's Xehanort who will kick your ass x10.
Yea. I played on Proud and I can kind of see why hardcore players may find it a tad easy but for me it definitely lived up to its name. I heard some complaints that the endgame bosses were a bit easy so I turned on Zero EXP in the last Disney world (LV 36) to ensure that they’d be a worthy final challenge. I got exactly what I asked for.
I dont get why people is hating this theme . I think its perfect this is exactly how i envisioned the final battle against xehonort would be something so simple yet dark and heroic !!! And i cant wait to fight him to this theme its going to be fucking epic !!!!!!
I think maybe people were looking for something more original, not a rehash of already existing themes. Personally, I like this theme. Its not only a mix of Guradando nel buio and Rage Awakened, but it also have it's own original mix to it.
i think people are kinda disappointed that the final battle theme for the whole saga wasn't composed by shimomura. it's apparently by ishimoto, the one behind soundtracks like ff type 0 and crisis core. honestly i love his music (aaalmost like shimomura's) and i think he did a really great job with this track, adapting his signature style to include elements of shimomura's
Time for a good old fashion anime showdown, Xehanort believes in himself, Sora turns into a boat and the player is confused at what the hell is happening while screaming and spaming heal spells and potions.
This is such a good soundtrack and the violins creates such a powerful moment during the final battle! Fuck, I love those violins. They are my favorite part.
I freaking loved the end of this game. It’s a new rendition of the original “VS. Ansem” theme, you have Donald and Goofy there with you, it’s like you’re finally finishing what you started back in KH 1.
Ephemer and Skuld’s watching from the afterlife as their great great grandson grows up to become the next Dark Seeker even after being raised by the reincarnation of their best friend: 👁👄👁
Its worth it if you haven't gotten to him in critical mode heads up you will be doing extensive blocking with the keyblade ...he comes at you hard !!!!
@@robitussinbrohan718 this fight is the hardest fight in the entire franchise on Level 1 (From the Story bosses) You must Block and evade the entire chair phase one hit and you are death. And his Phase before With that light is hard too 1-2 hits and you are death Armor xehanort is much easier on Level 1
[GS]Naminé the first armored portion is much more difficult to me, the arena does not always cooperate with what either one of you want to do and he’s got more annoying moves during that portion than any of the x-blade parts
@@SSlash the first phase from armor xehanort was hard but beatable when you play at the bottom of the area Second Phase you die one and Switch the equipp to fire boost to firespam the water part And the air Part was easy too
Considering this is the first new game for the consoles since the ps2, perhaps it’s a sign KH is finally jumping on the Dlc bandwagon. Or at least gearing up for free updates, rather than release the same game over and over with tweaks and changes like the others.
If you hear closely, you can hear other characters themes 0:25 - 0:40 Dismiss (Terra-Xehanort?) 0:40 - 1:30 Terra (Rage Awakened) 1:31 - 2:30 appears to be either new content or Scala Ad Caelum? 2:31 - 3:02 Rage Awakened again The preponderance of Rage Awakened might represent Sora's increase in power to equal or surpass the old greats such as Terra. Appears to loop afterwards
@@LightDrag00n She does, but she isn’t the only one who does the ost. Takeharu Ishimoto did this one, he was the guy who composed the ost for the world ends with you.
@@LightDrag00n Since Birth By Sleep the KH series have mainly 3 composers: Tsuyoshi Sekito and Takeharu Ishimoto contribute to some tracks and, of course, most of the ost are done by Yoko Shimomura.
I think Ishimoto was a good choice because he's more of a DJ than necessarily composer. He's great at weaving different works together, and it really shows in this, which is effectively 5 or more songs put into one, yet comes out sounding like its own theme. It earns and owns its motifs. Shimomura is great at this too (Vector To The Heavens and Dismiss alone show this), but honestly the woman's made 15 odd variations on Dearly Beloved alone, she needs a break from high-stakes composing like this.
I think the reason why people feel a bit of dislike for this theme is because it is yet another culmination of final boss themes from previous games, something that has been done in the series a bunch of times before =| I honestly was hoping for something more unique and unexpected.
Blocking him feels so good also its so cinematic but instead you are doing it all it really feels like a sword battle something than in kh2 dint happend so much
The final dance with fate at journeys end. Nothing more thrilling than setting a score with a man who took everything from you right before your eyes. And your three companions your three greatest friends. Master of the x blade you will fall. This fight truly the best one yet.
I feel bad for xehanort, in the end he is just a sad old man raging against his fate. He is afraid to die and to be forgotten. In the end he realized, he was beaten. Both physically and in his ideals. I like how at the end he looked so relived, he won. He will never be forgotten.
William Braswell A genuinely tragic villain. I love that Young Xehanort hinted at it, too, when he said “being alone is a power even stronger [than friendship].” And when Xemnas expressed that he missed his companions, it makes you realize that Xehanort’s obsession with KH was just him trying to fill the void his failed friendship with Eraqus left, as well as leave a legacy since he was overlooked by their master. I only wish his final boss music had been more appropriate for the tragedy of the moment (like Darkness of Unknown 3). His ambition had ruined so many lives, including his own.
@@iggyp4390 if you listen carefully it starts fast and full of action, the slowly changes to a more somber theme. Almost as if the theme is xehanort hiding his true feelings
Xehanort’s story is even more tragic with knowledge of what happens in Union X… and more confusing as well with how Normura introduces the concept of reincarnation to KH!
FandeJay Meaning digitally like she did for FF15 . It’s about time Square Enix made the soundtrack for a Kingdom Hearts game available to everyone without needing to import . Why can they do it for FF but not KH?
Yeah I think I was in the mid 30s on Proud and did Phase 3 first try pretty easy. Phase 2, when he was in the armor, was harder, so was the Organization 13 armored. Form shift on 'Wheel of Fate' was pretty OP. Really cool fight though. At least he had tools to deal with runaway. Xemnas could just be ran from pretty easily until your magic came back, if you were really worried.
Played on proud and this was the only fight to give me a game over. I honestly struggled a bit when he forced me into anti form becuz for some reason he didn't want to get juggled like normal.
While I wished for a mostly-original theme (with maybe a few callbacks to Destati) for this battle, if they REALLY wanted to go the "Destati + another track mixed", I think Fate of the Unknown would have been a better choice, rather than Rage Awakened. Despite what many people say here, Rage Awakened is not a "generic rage theme", it's Lingering Will's theme, period. And no amount of mental gymnastics will change that. On the other hand Fate of The Unknown was the track that introduced us to Master Xehanort, in the KH2FM Secret Ending. So it would be fitting as the track of our last confrontation with the old man.
I disagree. Rage Awakening isn't just a generic rage theme. But I believe it's fully appropriate because while we associate the song with Lingering Will, it should be seen on a more fundamental level. IE: Who is Lingering Will's Rage ALWAYS towards? Even when he goes against Sora, who does he think he's fighting, who is that rage he wants to unleash all that power against? Xehanort. It's always been Xehanort. And here at the end of everything, after over a decade of dealing with his schemes and bearing witness to all the suffering he has caused in one form or another? It's time to unleash all that hell right back at him.
The Rage Awakened was such a strange choice, especially given how conscious Yoko usually is about motifs (such as incorporating Roxas, Ven and Sora's theme into Vanitas' boss theme)
The battle is epic. The music is epic. The conclusion is epic. I can hear some Fate of the Unknown from KH2 secret ending and Guardando Nel Buio from KH1 final boss in this. I don't know how but it's perfectly mixed into an epic finale soundtrack. Truly a masterpiece.
@@jonaszprzybycien6545 that was going to happen no matter what. The path they chose to get there, and the way they ended it, was very underwhelming, disappointing, etc. Im tired of explaining why this game was an objective disappointment.
People think Rage Awakened is Terra’s theme but it’s not. It has a reason that its called “Rage Awakened” and not “Terra’s Theme”. Its not a character theme, this music shows rage, which Sora had after The events (Kairi). Also dont forget we are forced to use “Rage” mode during this fight. This is a well made OST in every way and represents Sora’s rage (Rage Awakened), against Xehanort feeling (Destati) and The heroic finale Of this saga (New tunes Starting at 1:29) very well. Also how can someone cant like this part: 2:06 This music is fucking great
Naw dude. Rage Awakened prior to this was only used during lingering will events. That's a huge stretch on what is obviously a Terra theme, something that's been established for 12 years, since 2FM
Hearing this song when I finally got to final Xehanort on critical mode made it so much more epic. It was such a struggle for me and knowing I just had one fight until I finished the whole thing made it feel like a real final showdown
I feel like folks in this comments section don't realize how good at KH they are....I got my ass handed to me by this boss on Standard mode. Took me several tries to get through the last phase especially. The game wasn't difficult but it wasn't easy to the point of being unfun to me.
The game was enjoyable on Proud Mode, but I did have my difficulties at times. Mainly when I tripped up on a few of the new features in the game. The game was probably easier for me then it might be for others because I tend to focus on increasing my character's levels in games to the point of obsession. That being said, I did have my difficulties and while the game was not perfect I did enjoy it greatly. In the final portions, I did have difficulty which was expected considering the circumstances.
Oh yeah, for me, Proud Mode definitely lived up to its name. I only turned on Zero EXP in the last Disney world to give the Endgame bosses an extra boost. Died at least twice in each battle. And I’m willing to bet that up to 20% of my deaths throughout my entire playthrough were from fighting grandpa. ESPECIALLY that final phase.
I liked that Donald and Goofy helped Sora defeat Xehonart in the end but I would have really loved if they had showed every other friend that Sora made along the way of his journey from KH1-KH3 supporting him as well. Like for them to be there in spirit you know. The whole premise of the game was that all hearts are connected and that friendship unlocks a hearts true power, so I thought that would have been a neat idea.
@Spooky thats not a bad thing you can upgrade keyblades in this game I also beat the game with Kingdom Key but I got it up to lvl 7 it was my strongest Keyblade even id I didn't in Kh2 you can beat the game with sweet memories easy as well the keyblade didn't matter.

@@Bravidunno i wish they would have did all the final battle theme's and use different parts for each phase that would have literally made me go holy shit! (maybe not xion's theme tho even if i do like that one to sad for this epicness)

2019: xehanort's theme
2021: our theme
2022: our adopted son's theme
The blend of the Final Boss themes from both Kingdom Hearts 1 and Kingdom Hearts 2 is so well done and cathartic.
I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
and BBS. Rage Awakening is in there too.
Rage Awakened*
Rage Awakened is originally from KH2
Wow I can't believe I misspelled it lol
But it was technically a final boss theme in BBS
There isn't anything from the final boss theme from KH2 in this.
This whole theme really screams "Kingdom Hearts". I remember nearly crying while playing this boss fight. Ansem, Terra-Xehanort, Xemnas, Young Xehanort, it all leads to this. This is it. This is where it all truly ends. 17 years of my favorite video game franchise has finally come to an end.
Just the end of this saga
And now the beginning of a new one
Still weird but I kinda miss xehanort lol
Sora: It's over!
Xehanort: Not quite!
Even though that dialogue was randomly selected. It fit so perfectly.
The official theme of "HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON OLD MAN!"
The way Xehanort says the *X - B L A D E* in this game, it sounds so...... seductive
KEYBLADE!

@@theinimitablejora522 dang its almost like opinions exist :o
@@arristheround9246 Sorry, it was a bit harsh. LP'er I mod comments for was approaching KH3 and the rest of the crew were talking it up, he was hyped, and I guess every single negative thing I ever had to say about KH3 were getting shot through the roof. Honestly, it's really not as bad as I wanted to believe. I mean KH1 and KH2 are better, no doubt, but to ignore the maddening amounts of love and passion poured into every single solitary inch of that Blu-Ray disc is the most idiotic thing to do.
Stilllllllllll not a major fan of the finale of the base game. The main Re:Mind campaign though, like the WHOLE thing? Including the boss rush, including the horde fight, including Mickey's last stand, and Kairi's boss fight, and the connecting of keyholes until the whole sky lit up? Peak Kingdom Hearts right there. That whole sequence is this brilliant microcosm of everything I love about the series.
@@theinimitablejora522 ill just say..... gba chain of memories. The final boss of soras story was just.... meh. Thats what I would say is the most underwhelming final boss in the series imo. But to each their own
I think the theme is perfect. Previous final boss themes always were about the character you fought. It was HIS personal theme. This theme however has parts which in general represent the whole franchise, and the rage awakened part feels like is owned by sora in that moment.
To sum it up, it represents a final battle and lots of memories from past games.
That does seem quite appropriate for the end of the dark seeker saga.
No, it's the Lingering Wills theme.
@@platinumvoid1648 but the rage is all Sora now. Especially since Xehanort just murdered Kairi right in front of him. Not to mention Rage Awakened being the theme for the trailers of this game. And remember that Sora has been basically using Terra's inhereted keyblade.

The violins sound bad because they're synthetic and not orchestrated.
The theme is good because it incorporates Ansems theme, Xemnas's theme, Terra Xehanorts, and Xehanorts theme.
The song is the cumulative of all being put back together aka Xehanorts battle theme
The song only incorporates themes from Destati and Rage Awakened, everything else in between is original. I don't know where you got all that other stuff from.
Oneish no you can easily hear stuff from “Darkness of The Unkown” and the Young Xehanort theme from DDD

@@tri1937 No, not at a single part can you hear them lmao

This wasnt about the thirteen darknesses and seven lights. Sora had a score to settle with Master Xehanort for all that he's done. The emotion of this song explains Sora's no everyones anger towards Master Xehanort and how Sora had a job to finish.
Exactly. Especially after what happened to Kairi.

It’s not just destati. It’s darkness of the unknown, rage awakened, and whatever Italian name is DDD boss theme
And it isn't the entire series, just the Xehanort chapter.

Damn so that's what the black purple-balls of darkness falling from kingdom hearts were
Ah yes the epic theme of Sora vs. Literally me
In all of Kingdom Hearts, even when I played this before critical mode was out, this is by far THE hardest boss battle. People say this game was easy on Proud but I think it's a reverse of KH2 where instead of the endgame bosses being surprisingly easy, in KH3 every boss starting at Davy Jones will kick your ASS no questions asked. And then there's Xehanort who will kick your ass x10.
Yea. I played on Proud and I can kind of see why hardcore players may find it a tad easy but for me it definitely lived up to its name. I heard some complaints that the endgame bosses were a bit easy so I turned on Zero EXP in the last Disney world (LV 36) to ensure that they’d be a worthy final challenge. I got exactly what I asked for.
If you grinded it's a breeze otherwise you will have a bad time
I dont get why people is hating this theme .
I think its perfect this is exactly how i envisioned the final battle against xehonort would be something so simple yet dark and heroic !!! And i cant wait to fight him to this theme its going to be fucking epic !!!!!!
Agreed, this practically screams "Final Battle".
i think people prefer the yx, ansem, and xemnas battle theme more
I think maybe people were looking for something more original, not a rehash of already existing themes. Personally, I like this theme. Its not only a mix of Guradando nel buio and Rage Awakened, but it also have it's own original mix to it.
Final boss theme could have been something more than just a medley. Seeing how good this is just makes me sadder that we didn’t get an original theme.
i think people are kinda disappointed that the final battle theme for the whole saga wasn't composed by shimomura. it's apparently by ishimoto, the one behind soundtracks like ff type 0 and crisis core. honestly i love his music (aaalmost like shimomura's) and i think he did a really great job with this track, adapting his signature style to include elements of shimomura's
Time for a good old fashion anime showdown, Xehanort believes in himself, Sora turns into a boat and the player is confused at what the hell is happening while screaming and spaming heal spells and potions.
The violins alone is fantastic bravo to the concert master 2:05
It's literally a fake instrument lol

This is such a good soundtrack and the violins creates such a powerful moment during the final battle! Fuck, I love those violins. They are my favorite part.
Yeah but what really sucks is this is one of the only songs on the soundtrack where the vitamins are actually synthesizer and not real
I freaking loved the end of this game. It’s a new rendition of the original “VS. Ansem” theme, you have Donald and Goofy there with you, it’s like you’re finally finishing what you started back in KH 1.
This theme screams "Either you are going to prevent the worlds from being swallowed by darkness or die trying. There is no in-between"
the song that plays when you realize you raised the main Antagonist:
Ephemer and Skuld’s watching from the afterlife as their great great grandson grows up to become the next Dark Seeker even after being raised by the reincarnation of their best friend:

Appears to loop afterwards
I did hear a bit of the Consuming Dark too...
1:50 to 2:30. GOLD.
Such a great score for such a great boss, really worth the long wait.
I agree.
Yoko Shimomura should have been the one to compose the final boss theme
I love this track but you're right.
But who composed? Wasn't she the series composer? I'm confused.
@@LightDrag00n She does, but she isn’t the only one who does the ost. Takeharu Ishimoto did this one, he was the guy who composed the ost for the world ends with you.
@@LightDrag00n Since Birth By Sleep the KH series have mainly 3 composers: Tsuyoshi Sekito and Takeharu Ishimoto contribute to some tracks and, of course, most of the ost are done by Yoko Shimomura.
I think Ishimoto was a good choice because he's more of a DJ than necessarily composer. He's great at weaving different works together, and it really shows in this, which is effectively 5 or more songs put into one, yet comes out sounding like its own theme. It earns and owns its motifs.
Shimomura is great at this too (Vector To The Heavens and Dismiss alone show this), but honestly the woman's made 15 odd variations on Dearly Beloved alone, she needs a break from high-stakes composing like this.
I think the reason why people feel a bit of dislike for this theme is because it is yet another culmination of final boss themes from previous games, something that has been done in the series a bunch of times before =| I honestly was hoping for something more unique and unexpected.
1:30 Favorite part of the theme

hardest boss in my whole life
Rage awakened was just the thing this OST needed to really kick it into gear 😍😍
When the music comes full circle, from the first ever boss fight to the final battle in the Xehanort arc.
I feel bad for xehanort, in the end he is just a sad old man raging against his fate. He is afraid to die and to be forgotten. In the end he realized, he was beaten. Both physically and in his ideals. I like how at the end he looked so relived, he won. He will never be forgotten.
William Braswell A genuinely tragic villain. I love that Young Xehanort hinted at it, too, when he said “being alone is a power even stronger [than friendship].” And when Xemnas expressed that he missed his companions, it makes you realize that Xehanort’s obsession with KH was just him trying to fill the void his failed friendship with Eraqus left, as well as leave a legacy since he was overlooked by their master.
I only wish his final boss music had been more appropriate for the tragedy of the moment (like Darkness of Unknown 3). His ambition had ruined so many lives, including his own.
@@iggyp4390 if you listen carefully it starts fast and full of action, the slowly changes to a more somber theme. Almost as if the theme is xehanort hiding his true feelings
Xehanort’s story is even more tragic with knowledge of what happens in Union X… and more confusing as well with how Normura introduces the concept of reincarnation to KH!

This boss was brutal...
Yeah I think I was in the mid 30s on Proud and did Phase 3 first try pretty easy. Phase 2, when he was in the armor, was harder, so was the Organization 13 armored. Form shift on 'Wheel of Fate' was pretty OP. Really cool fight though. At least he had tools to deal with runaway. Xemnas could just be ran from pretty easily until your magic came back, if you were really worried.
@Neos Geos I was on proud mode, and he kicked my ass several times before I finally beat him.
@@azazel166 I played proud to I am not that great when it comes to kingdom hearts and can beat most bosses first try but he took me at least 6
I played on standard, and i was forced to use my kupo coin
Played on proud and this was the only fight to give me a game over. I honestly struggled a bit when he forced me into anti form becuz for some reason he didn't want to get juggled like normal.
While I wished for a mostly-original theme (with maybe a few callbacks to Destati) for this battle, if they REALLY wanted to go the "Destati + another track mixed", I think Fate of the Unknown would have been a better choice, rather than Rage Awakened. Despite what many people say here, Rage Awakened is not a "generic rage theme", it's Lingering Will's theme, period. And no amount of mental gymnastics will change that. On the other hand Fate of The Unknown was the track that introduced us to Master Xehanort, in the KH2FM Secret Ending. So it would be fitting as the track of our last confrontation with the old man.
I disagree. Rage Awakening isn't just a generic rage theme. But I believe it's fully appropriate because while we associate the song with Lingering Will, it should be seen on a more fundamental level.
IE: Who is Lingering Will's Rage ALWAYS towards? Even when he goes against Sora, who does he think he's fighting, who is that rage he wants to unleash all that power against?
Xehanort.
It's always been Xehanort.
And here at the end of everything, after over a decade of dealing with his schemes and bearing witness to all the suffering he has caused in one form or another?
It's time to unleash all that hell right back at him.
The Rage Awakened was such a strange choice, especially given how conscious Yoko usually is about motifs (such as incorporating Roxas, Ven and Sora's theme into Vanitas' boss theme)
like others have said, this is clearly not a shimomura-arranged track
Yea but rage awakened sounds super cool
The battle is epic. The music is epic. The conclusion is epic. I can hear some Fate of the Unknown from KH2 secret ending and Guardando Nel Buio from KH1 final boss in this. I don't know how but it's perfectly mixed into an epic finale soundtrack. Truly a masterpiece.

Sora: How many times do we have to teach you this lesson Old Man!
People think Rage Awakened is Terra’s theme but it’s not. It has a reason that its called “Rage Awakened” and not “Terra’s Theme”. Its not a character theme, this music shows rage, which Sora had after The events (Kairi). Also dont forget we are forced to use “Rage” mode during this fight. This is a well made OST in every way and represents Sora’s rage (Rage Awakened), against Xehanort feeling (Destati) and The heroic finale Of this saga (New tunes Starting at 1:29) very well. Also how can someone cant like this part: 2:06
This music is fucking great
Genç Xehanort Not to mention that Terra already has a theme.
I hated the rage mode part since I was underleveled
Except Rage Awakened has the motif of Terra's Theme heavily infused within it. You can even hear it clear as day at 2:40 in this very version...
Wrong.
Naw dude. Rage Awakened prior to this was only used during lingering will events. That's a huge stretch on what is obviously a Terra theme, something that's been established for 12 years, since 2FM
Hearing this song when I finally got to final Xehanort on critical mode made it so much more epic. It was such a struggle for me and knowing I just had one fight until I finished the whole thing made it feel like a real final showdown
I feel like folks in this comments section don't realize how good at KH they are....I got my ass handed to me by this boss on Standard mode. Took me several tries to get through the last phase especially. The game wasn't difficult but it wasn't easy to the point of being unfun to me.
News flash, most of us played the games on Proud Mode
The game was enjoyable on Proud Mode, but I did have my difficulties at times. Mainly when I tripped up on a few of the new features in the game. The game was probably easier for me then it might be for others because I tend to focus on increasing my character's levels in games to the point of obsession. That being said, I did have my difficulties and while the game was not perfect I did enjoy it greatly. In the final portions, I did have difficulty which was expected considering the circumstances.
Oh yeah, for me, Proud Mode definitely lived up to its name. I only turned on Zero EXP in the last Disney world to give the Endgame bosses an extra boost. Died at least twice in each battle. And I’m willing to bet that up to 20% of my deaths throughout my entire playthrough were from fighting grandpa. ESPECIALLY that final phase.
I liked that Donald and Goofy helped Sora defeat Xehonart in the end but I would have really loved if they had showed every other friend that Sora made along the way of his journey from KH1-KH3 supporting him as well. Like for them to be there in spirit you know. The whole premise of the game was that all hearts are connected and that friendship unlocks a hearts true power, so I thought that would have been a neat idea.
easiest Final Boss of the bunch tbh, but still fun and epic. Proud mode feels like KH2 Normal mode tbh
Had the totally opposite experience. I found this boss to be far more challenging than any of the other final bosses in the series.
Are you serious Xemnas was a cakewalk this was harder than that fight
@@tiduswordplayer facts I beat xemnas first try, xehanort took me at least 6 tries
