I think this was the only time in the entire franchise that I was disappointed that the battle wasn’t made longer and more difficult. They nailed everything else from the setting and stage to the symbolism of the weapons used and this phenomenally heart-wrenching score, but fell short with the overall pacing of the fight. If it would have resembled Lingering Will’s from the standpoint of endurance and a diverse move-pool, this fight would have definitely upstaged most of the encounters in the series. That said, it was still one of the biggest highlights of the game and this theme made it possible. Outstanding job on the cover.
I don't see what was perfect about this nonsensical scenario (that objectively breaks the narrative of the story and characters in a dozen different ways). But personal opinion aside: What exactly are you referring to by "symbolism of the weapons used"?
Personally, I kinda wish that Sora actually used Eraqus's keyblade during the actual Aqua fight as another part of weapon symbolism...but given the mechanics of KH3, I knew it wasn't going to happen.
Holy shit, just came from the Latest episode of Everglow's KH Timeline, and my god. This track along with the boss fight, I actually was in tears. This is phenomenal
"Wha--What happened?" "You abandoned me. That's what. You abandoned me in this shadow prison for a decade...Knowing what it'd do to me." "I'm sorry--It's all my fault..." "I've reached this shore after endless wandering. Waited forever for help to arrive. No-one ever came. I lost my Keyblade, had no way to fight my way back through the Heartless...You should've known I was stranded. Do you have any idea how lonely it is here? How frightening it is to have no-one? All I have left in my heart is misery and despair. And now, you can share it!" > Honestly would've loved for Riku to hit her with a "...Shut up." here.
@@arthurdearaujo5472 No, she's objectively wrong about MANY of the things she says here. Like, for instance, the idea that Mickey "abandoned" her in the Realm of Darkness for a decade when he didn't even know she was in there till AFTER ten years had already passed (not to mention that SHE chose to exile herself there in order to save Terra, and no one else had any bearing on that choice whatsoever). Or how about the fact that she says she ended up at the Dark Margin after "endless wandering", and she was "all alone" there, despite the painfully obvious fact that she was WITH ANSEM THE WISE the entire time. Yet makes no mention of him. She said at the end of 0.2: "I'm not afraid. I will face the long darkness." Ansem told her in Blank Points that Sora would come for her soon (that was the entire narrative purpose of that scene). In KH3, she said "I'm staying someone will come for me" with a smile one her face. NONE OF THIS translates into anything that Anti-Aqua said, half of which was either lies, or gross hyperbole.
@@DLxxx In fairness time works differently in the Realm of Darkness, iirc. What was a few years for them might have been far, far longer for her. It'd certainly explain how Ansem is absent and isn't brought up by her, and how her view of what actually happened has become skewed. It could be she actually believes what she's saying.
I just beat Kingdom hearts 3 for the first time the other week, after starting the serise back in December. Aqua is one of my favourite characters in the series, and hearing her dark theme in 3 almost broke my heart. Somehow, you managed to make a cover even MORE heartwrencing, and I can only appluede you for that 👏♥️
I started losing it at 2:54 then I heard the part starting at 3:38... Incredible. Just incredible. My heart won't recover. I've never been that deeply touched by a cover. Thank you so, so much.
Absolutely amazing, I hope there will be many more KH remixes by you. I recently got an idea because data real org has customized versions of 13th Struggle and 13th Dilemma perhaps it would be cool to see versions for the original org XIII too. A Vexen, Zexion, Lexeaus, Axel version of Struggle and a Demyx & Xaldin version of Dilemma. Not sure if you like the idea, just dropping it in comment form. Keep up the awesome mixes 🏆
Honestly this is a bit better than the original imo but it has more of a "last fight " feel to it and that last fight would be against like ur best friend or close ally
never played da game and judging from wat i've seen, needed more rage, anger, sorrow, anguish and a fight that's more barbaric and savage befitting of one that was abandoned in da darkness. hell, a bit more of gutteral guitar would help wit da sorrowful/savageness needed for this track. good track nonetheless though.
@@iancomtois9832 Referring to Anti-Aqua. The one who has been in the Dark Realm for more then 10 years. The one who has lost both her friends to the darkness. The one who fell into the Abyss thanks to Xehanort's Heartless. The one who, at this point, has a heart of misery and despair.
@@InfiniteRivalsMusic well I want to ask a few things. One is if you can ameo a Kingdom Hearts rendition of the Zurg boss fight theme from Toy Story 2's video game adaptation. Another is a theme inspired by something. Want to know what is the inspiration.
This was a really good cover, however, I'm unsure as to why, along with Lord of the Castle and The Other Promise, these latest covers feel lacking. I really liked what you did with Darkness of the Unknown and Vector to the Heavens because it felt you put some more of you into it but these feel like more versions of the same music pieces. I unfortunately find this unsatisfying and hope to hear more epic remixes, rather than simple epic covers, from you in the future 🙏
I totally understand ur point and i do agree u with this! For me it really depends of the song itself on how much i can put my creativity in use, The Other Promise was really hard for me to actually create something new to it, however my NEW orchestra set up is almost ready so i have more options on using orchestral instruments and i'm grateful u told me ur opinion and on the next cover i try to be more creative :) I think Darkness of the Unknown has the most creativity used compared to other covers i made.
_"Shouldn't have abandoned me."_ They didn't. She literally knew that they'd come for her ever since the end of 0.2, and SAID in KH3 that "someone will come for me" not long before they showed up. The entire narrative purpose of Blank Points was to confirm to Aqua this VERY thing! _"No help ever came"_ Oh really? So Terra and Ventus' keyblades didn't come to your rescue? Mickey didn't save you from fading into darkness? Terra didn't save you when Terranort tried to get information about Ven? _"Join me in the darkness!"_ Well... so much for being the "light shining in the darkness." Ya know.. the way you were going to lead the other's to you? Which again was established as far back as 0.2. I swear, Anti-Aqua never should've existed, ans the contrived, logistically impossible way it came about just proves my point (SoD showing up the way he did doesn't make ANY SENSE, even remotely).
Aqua deserves a data battle
Honestly, I kinda see her secret boss fight in 0.2 as a Data Battle in a way!

Don’t forget about the pirate ship option. Would have been a good data fight to have to redeem it.
blame disney

First of all I’m loving the guitar too damn much rn
2:00 gave me insane goosebumps
Super awesome remix.
Those drums just make me want your take on Wave of Darkness even more. This is a great cover.
Bro this was soooooo dope! Those vocals gave me literal chills!
"Maybe the darkness has gotten to me, too..."
Amazing work as always
Wonderful 😍
Always glad to see an upload from you
Oh man! im glad to hear that :)
This cover was done so well. Dare I say, its better than the original version.
Now you can share in the terror I felt.
Made me feeling emotional!
I was here
Absolute chills. Stellar job.
10/10. incredible as usual
This was emotional , i love it
Oh this is great!
Sepa usted que esto es un TEMASO! Compi, buen trabajo
Sounds like something straight out of dark souls
Awww my heart
OMG YASSSSSSSS
so so Beautiful piece. I really Love It, it's spectacular I feel Aqua in this song👏👏.

Thanks for the comment!:) I thought about that idea too and im actually planning somethin like this on future :)
So fucking goooood !
Could it be possible to have a mod that replace anti-aqua's theme with it ?
Thanks & Ofcourse! email me: infiniterivalsmusic@gmail.com
:O epic
this is really bad ass, good job
❤❤
This is the one I hoped you would make for months
Serious question: How on earth do you NOT have 100k+ Subs?? You're amazing!!
Thank you!! Maybe i should make discord for Infinite? Having 100k subs sounds huge and amazing.
@@InfiniteRivalsMusic Yes! You really should jave a Discord. :D We'll give you a shout-out on one of our streams. Your stuff is golden.
@@StudioBlueGames So cool!! :D Hmm i'm gonna consider if i make it!
👏👏👏
the best
Again my friend! You have done it.
This is absolutely incredible! Would you do Trouble In Town from Assassin's Creed 3?
Thank you! I will think about that!^^
Amazing track!!! What’s next on the album?
Thanks!! Next is gonna be something related/similiar to 13th struggle kinda, especially with one melody!
Damn..I'm late to this but wow this is incredible
Honestly this is a bit better than the original imo but it has more of a "last fight " feel to it and that last fight would be against like ur best friend or close ally
Patiently waiting for this to hit Apple Music! 🙏🏼
Oh yes. Lead me into everlasting darkness?
"Now you can be one with the darkness!"
Aw. Aqua. Personally, it embodys the dread in her character being trapped in the World of Darkness and slowly being turned against her friends.
If we ever return to play Aqua again, I hope we get this style of theme if she’d enter a rage/anti form state. Darqua mode.
I would love to see u do covers to ace combat soundtracks , especially ace combat 7 or zero from ace combat zero
Rage Awakened?
