"'''''The Other Promise'''''" is the theme played during the battle with [[Roxas]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'' in [[The World That Never Was]]. It is an arrangement of Roxas's original theme, "Roxas," and plays as an orchestral piece that portrays Roxas's somber and troubled life as a Nobody confused about his identity. A stronger, more mellow, and deeper version of ''The Other Promise'' appears in ''Drammatica'', which features Yoko Shimomura's most popular work. ''The Other Promise'' is also featured in the [[Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts]].
