*''[[Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance]]'' contains a version of "Dearly Beloved" that retains the original theme with pianos, violins, glockenspiel, and plucked violins. Next, the melody is played with flute and then has a slightly quicker, waltz-like part where a tambourine comes into play. Unlike other versions, it also switches between a 4/4 and 3/4 time signature - a reference to the "3D" in the title, according to Yoko Shimomura.

*The ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ|Kingdom Hearts χ[chi]]]'' arrangement begins with a unique piano section over a soft choir; here, notes of the primary melody play at half the regular frequency. It then transitions into a light and upbeat section prominently featuring mallet instruments, while the second melody is played by strings.

*The ''[[Kingdom Hearts χ Back Cover]]'' version begins with a low piano backed by strings. Bells and a clarinet are added as the piece crescendos while still maintaining a somber tone throughout.

*The arrangement of Dearly Beloved in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III]]'' by Yoko Shimomura and Yui Morishita is a {{w|piano concerto}}. [[Tetsuya Nomura]] ordered it to be based on the ''{{w|Transcendental Études}}'', a series of twelve compositions for piano by {{w|Franz Liszt}}. The melody in the introduction of the piece is different from any of the arrangements prior until it reaches the moment where it becomes its usual melody.<ref>[http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1sqr3b2 KH3 Ultimania: Interview with Yoko Shimomura (Music)]</ref>

*"Dearly Beloved (Forest Memory)" is a version that appears in ''Kingdom Hearts III'' and is more prominently featured in ''[[Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind]]''. The arrangement features the main melody on piano and the second melody on strings, with supporting flute ornaments.

*''[[Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory]]'' features an upbeat iteration of "Dearly Beloved" that retains the original theme played on piano and trumpets. This version takes influence from jazz.
