Hello!
I'm Aid1043 (they/he). My primary focus is on music articles, though I do various other things around here as well.
Wiki articles
These are the major wiki articles that I either created, renovated, or actively work to maintain:
- Template:Music
- Template:Random Quote
- Template:XBC
- List of unnamed tracks (KHIII)
- Kingdom Hearts (series)/Timeline
- Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash
- Theater Mode (all of its transcluded subpages)
I'm also responsible for the creation of over 250 music track articles and the renovation of nearly every other (most hadn't been touched since the release of 358/2 Days).
Music
Like most of us here, I'm a big fan of Kingdom Hearts music. I'm working to help document every appearance of each song, with a focus on the χ series. Check out this forum page for a list of where songs play in each game (work in progress).
Union χ[Cross]
Some interesting facts I discovered going through the Union χ theater mode:
- Union χ cutscenes feature 75 different songs (77 counting different versions of "Dearly Beloved").
- An additional 2 songs are exclusive to the χ[chi] credits ("The World You Wished For", with "Cavern of Remembrance" and "Another Side").
- This is also not including tracks such as "Mission Complete" and "Hand in Hand -Union χ version-" that play during the game, but not in any cutscenes.
- The cutscenes "Number Four" and "The Magic Lamp" have 5 unique tracks each; no other cutscene has more than 3.
- Only 10 cutscenes do not feature any background music.
- Union χ features songs originating from almost every Kingdom Hearts installment: ten out of thirteen (at the time of it's existence). That's every game except 358/2 Days, Re:coded, and 0.2 BbS AFP.
Dark Road
- Dark Road features 40 different songs between gameplay and cutscenes.
- This is the only installment in the Kingdom Hearts series to not introduce a single new music track.
- There are only two bosses with unique battle music; all non-final bosses use "Rowdy Rumble" (even though the cutscenes right before and after the fight use actual boss themes).
- Vali, Vala, & Vidar use "True Darkness", a song used once ever before (in KHIII) which makes a full-force return in this game.
- Hringhorn uses "Hunter of the Dark", which was originally a final boss theme (BbS Secret Episode) but was demoted to a normal boss theme in KHIII
- The cutscenes "Darkness's True Form" and "Baldr's Darkness" feature 3 unique tracks each, while no other cutscene uses more than 2.
- Only 2 cutscenes do not feature any background music: "The Departure" and "Corridor of Darkness".
- The credits use the same arrangement of "Dearly Beloved" that was introduced in the Union χ credits.
