CompositionEdit
"Fate of the Unknown" is three minutes and 26 seconds long in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix and three minutes and 27 seconds long in Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX. The piece begins with a tension-building introduction featuring a mixed choir over increasingly dissonant strings. It then picks up pace, adding synth, piano, and clarinet.
The piece is mysterious, yet intense, fitting the nature of "Birth by Sleep". Throughout the piece, the melodies of Terra and Aqua's respective character themes are used, marking their first appearance in the series. As a result, "Fate of the Unknown" shares certain elements with other tracks that are derivative of these characters' themes, such as Dismiss.
