He has gone to some zombie to someone with a wide array of emotions. This theme is one of my absolute favorites in the franchise and his fight is amazing and is the best fight imo aside of Xemnas.

  • @SylumSolosEverything
    @SylumSolosEverything 3 года назад +336

    The real name of this song is called "The Other Promise." There are TONS of different renditions of this song in the series and it's one of the most popular soundtracks in the franchise. This version is just one of them...
    Correct me if I'm wrong,, but I believe this specific rendition only plays once in the whole franchise and that is in the beginning of Kingdom Hearts II during the cutscene when Roxas discovers the truth of his existence...that he is not actually his own person; that he is just a husk -- a remnant left behind after Sora temporarily became a Heartless in the first game -- and that the town he thought he grew up in was just a simulation -- a datascape which he was imprisoned into with fake memories and fake friends created for the purpose of being studied by someone he's never met. The most heart-wrenching part of this whole thing was the pure existential despair over the sudden realization that he was never a real person and that he was never even meant to exist to begin with. Not to forget that his friends weren't even real and their real-life counterparts have no idea who he even is. The existential dread of not only his existence being an accident and knowing that he isn't even his own individual but some scrap left behind by someone he doesn't know but the fact that the place that he loved and the people he cared dearly about weren't even real. What mattered dearly to him was in reality just someone else's disposable data.
    I was like 11 or 12 or something when I played KHII for the first time... which was actually the very first Kingdom Hearts game I've ever played. It was a weird beginning to be introduced into the franchise, but I remember being just as confused and crushed as Roxas was when he discovered Sora in his sleeping pod. (The fact that Roxas was just as clueless to Sora's identity as I was only poured gas onto the fire.) I nearly wanted to just quit the game after that. The sudden turn in tone from that dark intro to Soras bright and positive adventurous attitude felt uncanny, especially considering that I knew ZERO background to the franchise back then.

      You're correct that it's not Roxas' Theme, but The other promise.
      However, as for when it plays... I think it was first played in Days, when Axel fights Xion to try to get her back at the doors of the Mansion in Twilight Town.
      The part you mention at the beginning of KH2 I think is actually Roxas' Theme, but now I'm not 100% sure.

Then I went back and played the first game and started to like Sora a lot more, but he is such a jerk at the beginning of KH2, at least that's what I thought because that was the first time I met him. It felt like a completely different game.

      Pretty ironic tbh.
      For people who played the first game, the Roxas segment was a boring slog and they just wanted to know what was up with Sora.
      But for you, who started with KH2, you didn't realize that anything was out of the ordinary when you boot up the game for the first time and you were playing as Roxas instead of Sora. As a result, you felt the same gut punch seeing Roxas rejoin Sora as people who played the first game felt when they saw the Destiny Islands get swallowed by the darkness.

    Every version of Roxas had an hell of a life.

    He learned how to use emotions in 358 with Axel and Xion... And only hurted him in the end.

      Roxas is more Sora than Ventus, he just have Ventus appearence, but his was made from Sora's heart. If he was a normal simili, he would look exactly like Sora and have his memories. Ventus prevent that to happen, his heart was in roxas body and was blocking sora's memories. So Roxas didn't had any memories, allowing him to be himself and not just the simili of Sora.
      If Ventus wasn't here, he would be exactly a copy pasta of Sora.
      I always find this weird, to think that if Sora had loose his memories and was in the place of Roxas, he would have behaved exactly like that.

    Manga version (I don't know if it's in the game because I've never played KH2):
    Roxas: Why me?
    DiZ: Because you hold the other half of his power...and because you are a Nobody.
    Roxas slashes at DiZ, but fazes through him/
    DiZ: Oh, sorry. This is just a data-based projection.

      That is almost accurate to Kingdom Hearts II, but it added a bit of extra dialogue and changed the lines. I have the full script word for word.
      DiZ: At last... the Keyblade's chosen one.
      Roxas: Who are you talking to? Me, or Sora?
      DiZ: To half of Sora, of course. You reside in darkness. What I need is someone who can move about the realm of light.
      Roxas: Why? Who are you?
      DiZ: I am a servant of the worlds. And if I'm a servant, then you should consider yourself a tool at best.
      Roxas: Was that... was that supposed to be a joke?
      _[Roxas summons the Keyblade]_
      Roxas: Because I'm not laughing!
      _[Roxas slashes at DiZ, but he displays as data, so the attack phases through him]_
      DiZ: My apologies. This is only a data based projection.
      _[Roxas gets angry and slashes through DiZ' data a ton, only to be panting heavily when he disappears]_
      _[DiZ appears in front of Sora's pod]_
      DiZ: Come, over here.
      Roxas: I hate you so much...
      DiZ: You should share some of that hatred with Sora. He's far too nice for his own good.
      Roxas: No! My heart belongs to me!
      _[Roxas slashes through DiZ' data one last time before he disappears, and Sora's pod opens, revealing him sleeping inside]_

Be sure not to disappoint him.

Like everyone loves to see a tragic character be happy again. But something more important is that character just being at peace. Roxas's final arc in KH2 ended in peace. And although i think he deserved to be with Xion and Axel.... i think the way they did it was just too unrealistic for a series that generally has come across as a metaphor for life.

    • @kevinkaslana9060
      @kevinkaslana9060 4 года назад +2

      Same here, brother. The entire ride of Kingdom Hearts showed me a lot of things, but there are three that I remember most.
      *1: Never forget the memories that define who you are. Even if you have to shackle your own heart, even if you have to find out the truth for yourself, don't lose sight of the person you're meant to be. Forgetting them might make you a better person, but when you're struggling to remember just who you are and why you exist, the memories will always come back to remind you of what you truly are.*
      *2: Everyone has a heart. That doesn't mean they can't be friendly, but no one deserves to be called a Heartless. You just need to show them that the world cares for them and they can find a place in the world. Wherever it may be, that choice is up to them.*
      *3: Every person you meet forms a new connection. The bond of friendship is a beautiful thing, and having multiple friends means you can never be sad or lonely. Your friends may be far away, but no matter what, so long as you know them, your hearts are always connected. If you sever the bond between you and those you care for, you'll drift farther away from them and into a dark hole you'll never be able to escape from.*
      I have Kingdom Hearts to thank for showing me the strength of my heart and the understanding of each dilemma. The road may be dangerous, but I still believe that I can make a change in the world. So long as I continue to be who I am, I'll be the light of everyone's hearts, the strength to pull them out of the deepest reaches of the darkness. I want everyone to know me and be my own person. I want to make a connection with everyone I meet. Even if I'm a nobody in the world, I don't care. I'm proud to be who I am and have friends who care about me.
      *_May your heart be your guiding key. You'll know where I am._*

    They say Roxas is just a nobody, but to me, he is a somebody, with a good purpose in life.

      I mean, he did come out of a book in the DDD opening, for some reason, that gets me thinking,
      what if Roxas DOES come back? And he becomes the 7th guardian of light, it's either him, Lea, or Kairi.

    Roxas is by far the most tragic character in all of Kingdom Hearts considering he lost both his friends that day then found out he wasn't suppose to exist.

    Roxas has the roughest life: Being kept in the dark by the Organization, Unable to trust his best friend (Axel), Having to destroy Xion, and along with Namine, being used by DIZ (Ansem The Wise) then discarded for Sora.

    I first saw Roxas at the end of Riku's Story in Chain of Memories and intrigued by who this mysterious kid was, and with the release of KH2 I was formally introduced to a character i knew I would love.

      Exactly^ yes he's been betrayed, he has experienced loss and he's even been manipulated and decieved, but he DID NOT let all that make an emo crybaby put of him! He grew a pair and decided to fight back! Yeah he is still shaken by trust issues but he STILL tries to be brave and even confident and remains a loyal friend to his day ones! Basically, he may not take jack shit from anyone these days, but he hasn't forgotten how to be a good person to those who deserve it.
