User:Aid1043

Hello!

I'm Aid1043 (they/he). My primary focus is on music articles, both creating new ones (I've made about 200) and updating old ones (most haven't been touched since 358/2 Days released). I also cover new secret endings, remade the Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash article, and make various edits based on grammar and formatting.

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

• Add categories to music tracks

  • Fix all of the missing track files
  • Add a basic "Composition" section to all tracks
  • Start working on MoM sections for each track
