Hello!
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.
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.
 
Outside of the wiki, I run a [https://www.youtube.com/@Aid1043 YouTube channel] with a focus on exploring lost and obscure ''Kingdom Hearts'' media. I made a video documenting {{#switch:{{#expr:{{#time:s}}mod5}}|0=''[[Kingdom Hearts V CAST]]''|1=''[[Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash]]''|2=''[[Kingdom Hearts Digital Painter]]''|3=''Kingdom Hearts'' [[Template:Merchandise|figurines]]|4=''[[Kingdom Hearts Mobile]]''}}, please check it out →
 
I also 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''.}}

==Current business==
===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]].
 
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 projects===
*Dream Eater ability articles and enemy attack tables
*Kingdom Hearts Mobile mini-game applications


===Plans===
*[[Theater Mode]] updates (include summaries and music tracks)
*''Kingdom Hearts χ'' abilities
*Basic "Composition" section for tracks
*Add categories to music articles


==Music==
==Past projects==
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 [[List of Kingdom Hearts series tracks|this page]]).
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.


Also, check out [[Forum:Notes 29 (Project Music: Where songs play) - KeybladeSpyMaster|this forum page]] for a list of where songs play in each game (work in progress).

===''Union χ[Cross]''===
;Spin-offs
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 [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FNtf_F__tlAlM4MsDFxBXaXrV0DENgDV_-9D0Kn8ssw/edit?usp=sharing the spreadsheet].
*[[Kingdom Hearts V CAST]]
*[[Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash]]
*[[Kingdom Hearts Digital Painter]]
*[[Kingdom Hearts Mobile]], and all related articles


Some interesting facts I discovered:
;Gameplay
*''Union χ'' cutscenes feature 74 different songs (76 counting different versions of "Dearly Beloved").
*Infoboxes for KHDR {{c|abilities|KHDR}}, accessories, and enemies
**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").
*Anything KHMOM related
**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.
*[[Spirit]] training
*The cutscenes "Number Four" and "The Magic Lamp" have 5 unique tracks each; no other cutscene has more than 3.
*Dream Eater commands
*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''===
;Other
What if I did the same thing for every cutscene in this game too? And with another [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zgszkiMzK46MtF_-2DrMVC8qn3JdJBv0vk_NaNcYfnY/edit?usp=sharing spreadsheet]?
*[[Kingdom Hearts (series)/Timeline]]
*''Dark Road'' features 40 different songs between gameplay and cutscenes.
*[[Theater Mode]] (transcluded subpages)
*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.

==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』.
*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==
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.


==To Do==
{|border="1" class="wikitable" style="width:500px"
*Finish updating music articles with cutscene tracks from:
|-

**''358/2 Days''
|}
*Add album arrangements to main articles, make articles for original medleys:

*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 -''"<!--https://www.kh13.com/news/transcribtion-of-the-kingdom-hearts-orchestra-world-tour-guide-->
! style="{{style|Kingdom Hearts Orchestra -World of Tres-|b}}" | Templates
*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?

**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

Hello!

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.

Outside of the wiki, I run a YouTube channel with a focus on exploring lost and obscure Kingdom Hearts media. I made a video documenting Kingdom Hearts figurines, please check it out →

I also own the original Kingdom Hearts coded, because you don't. Symbol - Crown.png

Current business

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 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.

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 projects

  • Dream Eater ability articles and enemy attack tables
  • Kingdom Hearts Mobile mini-game applications

Plans

  • Theater Mode updates (include summaries and music tracks)
  • Kingdom Hearts χ abilities
  • Basic "Composition" section for tracks
  • Add categories to music articles

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』.
  • 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

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.
