The Music of Kingdom Hearts

[-Arcana-X-]

The music of KH and KH2 is just awesome. During quiet hours I usually hum Sanctuary quietly to myself..it makes me feel so peaceful and oblivious of the people around me. A quiet, relxaing time.

On the other hand, battle is my favorite of the music. Very bouncy, catchy, and great to listen while defeating an enemy.

And Gummi Ship Musics are AWESOME!

well you need sertian music for games so it will all fall in to place

I would have to agree on the count that Yoko Shimomura is one of the best composer's I've ever heard, she has an incredible sense for what works and what doesn't. I have to say that My favourite pieces though do all come from Nobuo Uematsu but... noone can top him xD. Too much experience in the field I guess.

But The Other Promise is incredible, and I have taken the liberty of learning Roxas theme, shame I don't have any friends to play the clarinet along to it with me though... the piano alone really has none of the effect of the piece

I do agree that the music is a big part of what makes the game, as some of the world tunes are so well-composed and seem to fit said world perfectly (not just for the regular music, but for the battle music as well). I prefer KH1's music rather than the second one's. I find it to be...I don't know, better sounding.

I would have to agree and disagree with you on that one. I'll agree that all the songs that got a remix in KH2, especially teh Hollow Bastion theme, were much better in their KH1 forms, but I don't think the new pieces in KH2 were still pretty fawesome, though that is of course a matter of opinion and taste.

Actually, it's kind of the opposite for me, lol. I dislike the new rendition of the Hollow Bastion theme, as I prefered the much more ominus and sinister version of KH1, and I also find several of the common world themes (i.e. Agrabah, Halloween town and Olympus) to be of better quality in the KH1 version, despite them being the same. But that's also a matter of opinion.

But I love the new songs introduced in KH2: Rowdy Rumble, The thirteenth dilemma, Lazy Afternoons, Tension Rising and the final boss music are among my favourites.

i wish they could bring the kingdom hearts one version of the gummi ship music back into kingdom hearts iii perhaps. a better version maybe...

[Staulmaster]

yeash, I love all versions of Blast Away! But the gummi ship music in KH2 was really good as well.

I love the music have the OST on my ipod (just need to find the KH2 OST ...)

[Soraslittleangel]

OMG!!!! the music is so kewl....on the opening menu on KH2 i listen to all the time all the way through to the demo....its great stuff those music directors for the game.

[kazukifafner]

The music definitively goes in my top soundtracks list, but I would have preferred more sad/slow tracks. Roxas is one of my favs in the entire soundtrack, along with The Other Promise and Destati (glad they got put in drammatica, lol)
