Destati: Difference between revisions

{{Game|FMB}}

===''Kingdom Hearts''===

*"Destati" was first used in early commercials for ''{{c|Kingdom Hearts|game}}''.

===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix''===

*In ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix]]'', the ''Drammatica'' variant of "Destati" is heard in ''[[A Fragmentary Passage]]''.

The songs below are based on the main themes of ''Destati''

*''[[Dive into the Heart -Destati-]]'' is featured as the field theme for [[Dive to the Heart]] in both ''Kingdom Hearts'' and ''Kingdom Hearts II'', as well as when selecting a character in ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]'' (which fittingly, occurs in the Dive to the Heart). A faster-paced version with the same name was used for the battle theme in ''Kingdom Hearts''.

*''[[Fragments of Sorrow]]'' is the battle theme for [[End of the World]] in ''Kingdom Hearts'' and for ''Dive to the Heart'' in ''Kingdom Hearts II''.

*''{{c|End of the World|track}}'' is the field theme for End of the World.

*''[[Guardando nel buio]]'' is the boss theme for the last battle against [[World of Chaos]].

*''[[Darkness of the Unknown]]'', although mainly based on the song ''[[Another Side]]'', contains a brief element from ''Destati'', which plays from the 4:36 to 4:45 mark. This song plays during the final battle against [[Xemnas]].

*''[[Dismiss]]'', the boss theme for [[Aqua]]'s final battle against [[Terra-Xehanort]] in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', uses elements from both Destati and [[Fate of the Unknown]].

*A fuller, bolder version of ''Destati'' appears in ''Drammatica'', which features Yoko Shimomura's most popular works. The last part of this variant track appears in the ending of ''[[A Fragmentary Passage]]''.

*''[[L'Eminenza Oscura I]]'' and ''[[L'Eminenza Oscura II]]'' both contain elements of previous Destati-themed tracks, these being Guardando nel buio and Dismiss, respectively.

*''[[My Heart's Descent]]'' is a more subdued, ethereal version of the first part of the original Destati track that plays during [[Riku]]'s literal Dive into Sora's heart right before the battle against the [[Armored Ventus Nightmare]] in ''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]''.

*''[[The Eye of Darkness]]'', the boss theme for Riku's final battle against the Armored Ventus Nightmare in ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'' is a highly percussive remix of the original Destati track, featuring a fuller rhythm section, chimes, and brass, making it sound much grander than the standard theme.

*According to ''Kingdom Hearts'' Ultimania, Destati is somewhat a "cursed song." Since the chorus is often used in other pieces, whenever the chorus is loaded by Square Enix staff, something bad happens, an example being the entire building's electricity getting cut off.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania]]''''', [http://kh-ultimania.livejournal.com/6608.html interview] with Sound Team; '''Yoko Shimomura''': "In the beginning and ending of the game, there is a song with a chorus. That chorus is a phrase that expresses the dark side of Kingdom Hearts, and it was used in several songs. However, once we tried loading the chorus data in when we were creating the songs, something bad would happen. The worst thing that happened was when the electricity to the building was cut off."</ref>
