It's so sad that the lyrics say "Destati! Destati! Forza tendi la mano!" (Wake up! Wake up! Stretch your hand out!) as if it was Aqua begging Terra to wake up and to reach for her hand. I think the empowered violins of this version only add to that feeling.
It's something that is scattered across most of Terra's adjacent themes. Hearing Xemnas's theme start with this caucophony of noise and darkness and organ, and then silence... and then just string. It's like, despite it all, there's some part of him there living on saying "No, I'm still here. I'm still alive. I'm still fighting." It's so heartbreaking. Especially when you consider things like Xemnas having Aqua's armor so near for a majority of his "life".
They did their best to make this music full of signs and symbols _the violin, signature instrument for battles against the different forms of xehanort _the Fragment of Sorrow part from Destati, also a signature song for xehanort and a symbol of Terra's suffering _and obviously, Terra's theme on the piano in the background That's why I freakin' love shimomura
KH OST is in my eyes the best we got so far in gaming history. I mean tell me one other series that had such outstanding music in entry’s some would consider as Spin offs. Not one game with bad music. The worst would be Recoded because it’s basically KH1 again but that doesn’t make the music itself bad
Hiryun I only played Automata until now but the music sure was amazing. But what makes Kh special to me is the big amount of entries this series has while none of them has bad music. But now Iam sure interested to play the other Nier games to see for myself what they have to offer^^
All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it, grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came.
This track is so horribly sad. You walk into this fight hearing this music, and coupled with the series history it just drives home that no one walks out of it as the winner.
It's Terra's Theme in here that really completes this piece. It adds so much emotion and power to it. It's like it's inspiring you to save what's possibly left of him in there. Like "this is an epic battle, but it's for your friend!"
I absolutely love the sinister buildup at 1:25 before it mellows down into a sadder melody as a representation that it's not Terra doing all of those evil things but rather Xehanort.
I love how Kingdom Hearts evolves and remixes it’s music (not sure if this is technically a leitmotif or not). This song itself being a mixture of Fragments of Sorrow and Terra’s theme, which is already a mix between Rage Awakened and Fate of the Unknown. Fate of the Unknown also uses pieces of Rage Awakened in its Melody. Yoko Shinomura is insanely good.
Pretty sure there’s destati mixed in there too Also yes she is, I was able to tell without looking it up that she did FFXV soundtrack, there are only two other composers I recognize on sound alone, Wagner, and Yuki Kajiura
One thing I'll always love about this theme...just over a minute in you can hear Terra's Lingering Will theme literally battling Xehanort's theme for control in a back and forth, then it all goes quiet for a moment...and now Xehanort's iconic high strings have taken Terra's theme. The song tells you as you're fighting that you can't win.
So true. As another comment here says, you have Xehanort's theme, a faint hint of Aqua's and then you got *bursts* of Terra's theme like he's trying to fight past Xehanort. It's so damn cool.
Destati, destati... Forza, tendi la mano. Destati, destati! È giunta l'ora... Wake up, wake up... Come on, stretch your hand. Wake up, wake up! The time has come... I'd say, very fitting for the situation.
@@Nite-Rise even if terra isn’t a master, and he isn’t, xehanort is and Aqua is really fighting him anyway, so your first comment is still true. It is master vs master.
Honestly, this song sort of sounds like something you'd hear in the first Kingdom Hearts game, like, something that'd play when you're fighting the final boss. I dunno, it may just be me.
Namefound Given that you're fighting the original form of Ansem SoD, that makes sense. Not to mention that this song is based off of the battle music from KHI.
Thinking about how bbs is the domino that starts the events of the whole series all because takes advantage of terra, aqua and ven, causing EVERYTHING from ansem spreading darkness across the universe to sora almost becoming xehanort and everything in between really makes this track ominous, with a "this is only the begining" vibe
At this point, I make it a game to see what other songs I can hear in one specific song such as this. Here, I hear Fragments of Sorrow, Final Ansem, Terra, and Aqua.
Not gonna lie as a casual KH player I tried this fight at level 42. Got one shotted by any combo he tried ( Not attack) felt like rage quitting but I'd hit retry and this would get me thru it all. That's the power of this track
Listening to this song makes me cry because it's the fighting song that was playing when Aqua had to fight Terra omg kh 3 needs to come out now I need a reprise for them
@Cloud Shines81 The biggest problem was the pacing. It was too slow, but, when the Disney Worlds ran out, the pacing got too quick without any breathing room to let anything sink in. What I'm trying to say is: The story was fine, but they screwed up (and that's an understatement).
@@alrox9760 No they did not. Remind used a version that has no vocals at all. The original track in BBS had lyrics just as the HD remaster does, but the track in ReMind lacks any vocals at all.
@@julieannefowler5768 i know... i didnt really like the data version of dismiss.... what im talking about its that they used the original BBS version on Terra-norts fight versus sora after lingering will died
1:52 plays Terra's theme! I love the little touches and nuances that Yoko does with her themes! She pays attention to the story to drop those I love it!
And just when I thought there wasn't a track that had traces of Aqua's theme, nice to know Dismiss does. And yes I'm aware of the traces of Terra's as well.
Yeah, the Final Episode follows right after Aqua's final battle with Ventus-Vanitas. The Secret Episode was actually the first introduction to Kingdom Hearts 0.2: A Fragmentary passage.
Too freaking epic and sad as you can hear a bit of Terra's theme as if to show his inner struggle to regain control this game is way too dark for Disney
+Sora The Keyblades Chosen One Even though Disney has a presence, I've always felt that Kingdom Hearts was far more Square than Disney in terms of theming, conflict, and overall story and feel.

Riccardo Pasin That just made the entire soundtrack more tragic
Now I cry even more
Well now i'm just depressed.
*g a s p* italian *:D*
Also double meaning because Terra-Xehanort does reach his hand out...to choke Aqua. ;P
This music is from a game which has Winnie the Pooh in it.

@Kade Douglas This music do not deserve comments like this 🤦♂️
ok and?
The fact that you have Destati, a hint of Aqua's theme, then like bursts of Terra's theme like he's trying to fight past Xehanort it's just SO GOOD

this song is a remix of the full version of Destati, the station of awakining theme.
Probably the best variation on Destati of all, now even better.

Guardando nel Buio is still the best.
Terra-Xehanort: "I will guide you into the depths of darkness, EEEEEUAGH!
Aqua: What is that!?
Aqua: what the living f***
If you listen closely, the violins are playing rage awakened at certain parts! Like at 1:53!
Probably meant to symbolize Terranort internal struggle, like there is still a bit of Terra deepdown that current person of his.
it's Terra's theme not rage awakened
This fight was intense. Master vs Master. Friend vs Friend. They really went all out with this one
(Terra wasn't officially deemed a keyboard master at this point tho)
@@dillonmalbrue4179

Definetly the best version of Destati in the entire saga :')
Such a beautiful remake of this song.
I will guide you to the depths of darkness
BEST THEME EVER
Yeahh the vocals make this one better than the Remind one.
This is the best battle theme of the whole series imo.
Followed by Reminds Xion data theme.
Also, Terranort was the best Xehanort by far :P
When someone says kingdom hearts sucks SINK INTO DARKNESS
Wow... This remix is just awesome.
Damn, I LOVE IT.
Wish this song played when you fight Terra-Xehanort in kingdom hearts 3

''My name is Master Aqua. Now return my friend's hearts or pay the price!"

Oh wow. This is my favorite song in the HD ReMIX. Thanks Cyber, keep it up!
I like how this is a more fast and frantic version of destati

Truthfully.. I know the whole story of Birth By Sleep but I've never actually played it.
I can't wait for 2.5..
Wtf ive been listening to this for years and only now I noticed Fate of The Unknown in the track lmao
This is probably pretty obvious, but:

1:50 - Xehanort + Terra
2:02 - Loop
