Hello!
Hello!


I'm Aid1043 (they/he). My primary focus is on music articles, though I do various other things around here as well.
I'm '''Aid1043''' (they/them), a moderator on the wiki. (My name is pronounced "Aid One-Oh-Four-Three", or you can also just call me '''Aid'''.) My primary focus is on music tracks, spin-offs, and merchandise, though I do various other things around here as well.


I own the original ''[[Kingdom Hearts coded]]'', because you don't. {{note|No joke, I have a P-01A with the ''Olympus Coliseum -Side Episode-'' that didn't make it into ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded''.}}

==Wiki articles==
Also, I made a video documenting ''[[{{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:s}}mod3}}|0=Kingdom Hearts V CAST|1=Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash|2=Kingdom Hearts Digital Painter}}]]'', please check it out →
These are the major wiki articles that I either created, renovated, or actively work to maintain:
 
*[[:Template:Music]]
{{TOClimit|2}}
*[[List of unnamed tracks (KHIII)]]
==Projects==
*[[List of unnamed tracks (KHMOM)]]
===Current projects===
*[[List of unnamed tracks (KHVC)]]
====Project: Merchandise -Revival-====
:---
If you'll indulge me with the project name for a moment: I'm working on expanding the wiki's coverage of officially licensed merchandise, as was the goal of the original [[KHWiki:Project Merchandise|Project: Merchandise]]. Why do we cover only 8 of the 23 different lines of figurines? Why does Hot Topic have its own page, but not any other designer? Why do we have artwork from the SuperGroupies collaboration, but no mention of the actual products? The goal of the project is to cover all official ''Kingdom Hearts'' merchandise, as outlined in this [[:Template:Merchandise|template]].
*[[:Template:Random Quote]]
 
*[[Kingdom Hearts (series)/Timeline]]
I've compiled most of the merchandise that isn't already covered on the wiki into a spreadsheet, excluding the literal hundreds (thousands?) of Hot Topic / BoxLunch products. In doing so, I've covered everything ever mentioned on KH13 and Siliconera, at least four versions of the ever-changing Square Enix e-STORE, four different figurine and pin collector databases, everything on Japanese retailers AmiAmi and Aitai Kuji, and a decent number of other designers and manufacturers.
 
====Other====
*[[Theater Mode]] updates (include summaries and music tracks)
*''Kingdom Hearts χ'' abilities
*Basic "Composition" section for tracks
*Add categories to music articles
 
===Past projects===
These are some of the more major projects or renovations I have helped with – if you have questions about any of these articles, chances are I'll be able to help.
 
;Music and merchandise
*[[:Template:Music]], and basically any music article
*[[:Template:Merchandise]], and basically any merchandise article
*[[List of unnamed tracks]] (all)
 
;Spin-offs
*[[Kingdom Hearts V CAST]]
*[[Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash]]
*[[Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash]]
*[[Kingdom Hearts Digital Painter]]
*[[Kingdom Hearts Digital Painter]]

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'').
;Gameplay
*Infoboxes for KHDR {{c|abilities|KHDR}}, accessories, and enemies

==Trivia==
There are some pieces of ''Kingdom Hearts'' trivia that are unfit for actual wiki articles, but personally interesting to me, and maybe to you as well.

*As far as I can tell, ''LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum'' is the only instance in which Disney officially refers to the series as『Kingdom Hearts』rather than『KINGDOM HEARTS』.
*As far as I can tell, ''[[LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum]]'' is the only instance in which Disney officially refers to the series as『Kingdom Hearts』rather than『KINGDOM HEARTS』.
*Some interesting notes from the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash]]'' files:
**The internal name for the game is ''358/2 Days Special Puzzle Game'' (king_spl_pzl_358daysspecialpuzzlegame).
**One file (the Keyblade mouse sprite) has metadata referencing ''Wizards of Waverly Place: Magic Duel'', a similar Disney flash game (wiz_spl_pzl_wizardsmagicduel).
**Much of the code is commented in Spanish – even some files and variables have Spanish names, such as the orange menu background ("bgNaranja").
**The internal spell names don't match up with the real ones. Noteworthy differences include Remedy (counter_spell), Remove Spell (remove), Silence (brother_help), and Remove (super_brother_help).
*Notes from the ''Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory'' files:
**It seems like "The Encounter" was originally intended to be the KHII version instead of the KHBBS one. The internal ID is grouped with the other KHII battle themes (between "Rowdy Rumble" and "Sinister Shadows"), and the Collector's Card Pack of the Boss Battle version is still with the KHII tracks as well.
**It's no secret that the KHIII stuff was rushed, and sure enough it's all tacked onto the end of every internal list. The end of the music ID list also has Disney songs, Utada songs, Co-Op stages, and the Field Battle versions of Boss Battles; nothing surprising there. But for some reason, "Destiny's Force" is also in this last group, suggesting it was added pretty late in development.
**"Wonder of Electron" and "No More Bugs!!" are grouped with the Twilight Town tracks in a Collector's Card pack, meaning that neither stage is capable of dropping Data-Sora or Data-Riku.

==Opinions==
===''Union χ[Cross]''===
Here's a rough tier list (of my personal opinion), which is mostly an excuse to practice MediaWiki table formatting. Don't take it too seriously.
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''===
{|border="1" class="wikitable" style="width:500px"
*''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).
|-
*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.
