Hello!
I'm Aid1043 (they/he). I am mostly here to clean up grammar and formatting, but there's a chance I might do something useful as well.
Music
Like most of us here, I'm a big fan of Kingdom Hearts music. I'm currently working on creating a music article for every song (so we can finally kill off this page).
Also, check out this forum page for a list of where songs play in each game (work in progress).
Union χ[Cross]
I am (to my knowledge) the only person insane enough to go through the entirety of the Unchained χ / Union χ[Cross] theater mode (and a few χ[chi] exclusive cutscenes) and record what music tracks are used. Here's the spreadsheet.
Some interesting facts I discovered:
- Union χ cutscenes feature 74 different songs (76 counting different versions of "Dearly Beloved").
- An additional 3 songs are exclusive to the χ[chi] intro and credits ("Fairy Tale" and "The World You Wished For", respectively; the tracks are "Memories in Pieces", "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
What if I did the same thing for every cutscene in this game too? And with another spreadsheet?
- 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.
To Do
- Finish updating music articles with cutscene tracks from:
- Dark Road
- Kingdom Hearts III
- Create an article for every track that still needs one in:
- Birth by Sleep
- Re:coded
- Dream Drop Distance
- Kingdom Hearts III
- Update the articles for tracks made under old standards:
- Kingdom Hearts
- Chain of Memories
- Kingdom Hearts II
- 358/2 Days
- Add album arrangements to main articles, make articles for original medleys:
- Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts
- Piano Collections Kingdom Hearts Field & Battle
- Kingdom Hearts Tribute Album
- Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath-
- Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-
- Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World of Tres-
- Don't forget Kingdom Hearts 10th Anniversary Fan Selection -Melodies & Memories- album appearances
- Find a place to put Terra and Naminé's conversation, "Secret Story from Kingdom Hearts Concert - First Breath -"
- Cry while attempting to find a record of Kairi, Xion, and Aqua's individual monologues from Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World Tour-
- Like actually, where are they?
- All I can find is an incomplete, unofficial translation
- I mean, a recording of the English scenes has to be out there somewhere, right?
- I'll even settle for the Japanese version, okay???
- If anyone finds a record, please let me know.
- Please.
- If the above list ever gets completed (as if):
- Fix all of the missing track files
- Add a basic "Composition" section to all tracks
- Start working on MoM sections for each track
