    Introduced in Kingdom Hearts II as the battle music for The World That Never Was, "Critical Drive" (also named "Deep Drive") was given a more intense makeover for its appearance in 358/2 Days, to serve the fight between Roxas and Saix.
    We focus on this particular appearance, and on Roxas' anger as he battles to escape the castle and leave the Organization for good.

    PROJECT DESTATI: DARKNESS
    In celebration of KINGDOM HEARTS and the stunning melodies of Yoko Shimomura, Utada Hikaru, Takeharu Ishimoto, and Tsuyoshi Sekito, we present Project Destati’s second volume.
    DARKNESS is the highly-anticipated follow-up album to Project Destati’s 2014 Billboard-charting soundtrack album “LIGHT.” The album is a musical amalgamation of fan-favorite themes from the KINGDOM HEARTS series, re-assembled in an all-new fashion like long-forgotten memories.
    Featuring a live string orchestra and industry-leading soloists, DARKNESS is a dark, grand, and mysterious musical experience that aims to capture Tetsuya Nomura’s own imagination.

      And if you work the system right, you can keep them in Mission Mode. They're not so effective when every Neoshadow isn't scripted to die in one hit, though. Roxas still looks utterly awesome using them.

    I know this played during the fight with Saïx, but I've always seen this as Roxas rampaging his way back towards the Castle after swearing to avenge Xion's death. Honestly, I feel that, out of all of the heroes, Roxas's beef with Xehanort was the most personal and intense.

      Orange Lapiz at least Everglow fixes that in his timeline episode “a place to belong.” Perfection of a fight, using the Roxas section of this track as a positive feedback loop for comboing Saix, and a decisive, humiliating finisher as Final Limit’s (KH2 Final Form mod) Attack combo.

    I'm amazed at how this is also influenced by Mystic Moon, which encomprisses the dangerous feel of peril lurking across the castle while Roxas handles his keyblade resolved to leave and let no one stop him. It's far from a little inconsequential mission. It's a pivotal point for Roxas's story.
