If your listening in a time of loss it can give hope and if you are living in a time of great hope, it can remind you of the loss it took to get there.

    There's just something magical about Dearly Beloved that I haven't heard or seen replicated in any other game let alone franchise. This one score that's been changed a little for each game to suit its own tale but show that it's only one small piece in a bigger whole, how it by itself can be played and anyone nearby that's fallen in love with the series or have at least played some of the games with be able to recognize what game series it's from. The term 'perfect' is often tossed around so easily to describe things but Dearly Beloved is one of the few things that warrants the use of it.
    Dearly Beloved is perfectly imperfect. Every version shows the piece itself isn't the be all end all by itself but with some small changes here or there, it can win over every heart whether it become a favorite due to someone's favorite game, memories, connections, or melody.

      I think it's very telling that *every game in the series, no exceptions* opens with Dearly Beloved and the title screen. They knew Yoko had struck gold with that theme, it perfectly conveys the tone and feel of nostalgia and melancholy that the series aims for, and it's an immediate hook that subconsciously tells you there's something special about this soon-to-begin journey. I really can't picture in my head a better way to create a first impression on the player, to make them wonder what's in store for them, and to fondly look back on after it's over, which is why it's also genius that the games also end with Dearly Beloved reprise.

  • @Hyskaris
    @Hyskaris Před 3 lety +677

    The KH2 reprise is one that breaks my heart somehow, every time I hear it. There was something hauntingly beautiful about finishing KH2 at 1 am on my crummy old TV back in 2009. The ending screen just being that, a picture with the words "The End" on it. No battle logs for how I did, not even the option to save my game. And this song haunting me as I tried to sleep that night. I cried, long and hard. I'm not even sure why. KH2 didn't exactly have a sad ending, if only Roxas and Namine were left to the void. Maybe there was something else going on in my life at the time, and I heard this song while it was happening. I'm not sure. I can't remember. But it's almost comforting that I can't remember. This song is just an enigma in my memory. I can remember sitting on the couch with the blanket clutched in my hands and crying to myself. But any of the other days, before or after then? It's left me.

Some, how someway. I think being in 9th grade that summer made me realize I was growing up and I couldn’t hold on to these times forever, I had to grow up.

      The fact that Kingdom Hearts could've ended at 2 and it still would've been a fantastic game series is probably the reason why i think that KH2 Reprise is the most heartbreaking out of them all, because Sora, Riku and Kairi were reunited once again and the world was at peace.

I probably spend months on this game before i got to play KH 1 xD i was obsessed with Kingdom Hearts, building a keyblade with lego, playing all the games and crying because of 385 days end xD mostly good times as a kid ..

    Can we acknowledge that KH1 gives you a musical plot twist by withholding the second half of Dearly Beloved from the title screen? After you beat the final boss, you hear the second half kick in, and it sounds simultaneously highly emotional and yet... somehow familiar. Then, it picks up, and as you hear the part of Dearly Beloved you recognize, you *feel* it. It's genius.

    I love all the little details that make em unique.
    How KH1 almost sounds like it's underwater with reprised having a more shore theme using the music box.
    How Chains has a more pronounced piano that is the used throught the rest of the versions
    2 starts to incorporate more string instruments building into a harmonic sound
    365 uses a more wind instruments than the rest showing how it's not as focused more wild confused with subtle tones of kingdom hearts 1.
    RE Coded is more up beat happy showing a shift in tides towards a better future.
    BBS sounds more alone than any of the rest of the series and you feel that with the instruments coming and leaving almost whenver they feel like it.
    DDD has almost like a washed undertone at first leading to a more lucid beat like sheap jumping over a fence.
    Chi has this completely different beat to it as it differese from the rest of the series with Back Cover going back showing it tying itself back to the series yet still differing in it's sorrow.
    3 is just different returning home to the shore almost like when you see your home in the distance so you just start going on a mad sprint.

    "We, we did it! It's finished, [player] war has come to an end. We can finally go home now! Come on, let's hurry and regroup back with the others." exasperated joy escaping my lips. As I turn around to face you, the most childish grin shone on my face, replaced by a light frown as a gushing wind whisk by us. Without a moment to spare, I wince at the chilly breeze. Whined a bit, settled after. Slowly I looked up to you, regaining sight. The brightest smile I've ever seen was upon your face with such captivating beauty. As I stood in awe, time itself had seemingly stopped. A moment later, "Wait.." I uttered as I watched as your light became scornfully adorned by an endless waterfall of sapphire stones. "Your...Crying?" a question that felt it even questioned itself, filled with uncertainty.
    15:04 - 23:10
    Thoughts suddenly rushed my mind with a forcing manner of our memories in realization-without warning, "We fought together through the hardships for our freedom and peace, remember! The adventures we did, the quests we took on, the friends we've made, even the people we've helped. It was all so that way we could live like before! So why. Why must you make such a face like it's the end?" I shout, my voice wavering. Shadows veil over my expression, hiding it. Even as I've run to embrace you, both of us fall in a sitting position with emerald grass beneath us. Our surroundings fill with trees and wildflowers all around, my grip tightening as I hold on to you. Tears in view threaten to fall and humiliate me, while sorrow's hands begin to clasp their hands around my neck to silence me from uttering anything else. Then felt as you shift to embrace me back, in the same manner, the sunlight glittering upon us in the forest clearing, quartz pillars that once stood tall sit in shambles due to age as well as being smothered by plantation. The only sound from then on was the wind that ruffled the grass and rattled the tree's leaf tuffs till it became quiet once more. It's then I understood that this was possibly the last of our time together. Sobs from us creeped out. Still, we laughed, "I get it now. Even so, I don't care because this isn't the end. Rather the start of a long journey which has yet to come, and we're going to go to places even more unimaginable. So don't call this a goodbye, rather a see you next time where the start of our new adventures await us." with a smile ever so calm and knowing graces my face, as we both fade way to white once again. An echoed voice rings in your ears for the last time "Until then, see you later [player]."

    Personally 358/2 day and recoded are my favorite dearly beloveds because they were the only games I was able to play for the longest time. I remember I would used to just sit on the title screen and just listen to it over and over again. Every single version still hits me right in the feels though.

    It’s amazing how you can feel happiness, sadness, hope, regret, nostalgia, relief and way more all at the same time just by listening to Dearly Beloved…
    I think that’s why I cry every time I listen to it.
    Even the first time I heard Dearly Beloved I cried so much because it felt like something I’ve heard before but couldn’t remember.
    But my heart did, *because Dearly Beloved is the perfect definition of what a heart is.*
    It doesn’t matter if you start playing Kingdom Hearts today or 20 years ago… or even if you’ve never played before… this will somehow feel nostalgic no matter what.
    That’s why this is a masterpiece…
    Capture the essence of a heart in its whole is no easy task if we consider that most of the times we don’t know what we feel ourselves, or how to describe that feeling.
    So how can a piece do that without lyrics?
    And how can exist so many distinct versions of the same piece?
    All of them focus in one thing more to adapt to their own game and its tale without losing the main idea. That’s simply genius.
    And if you ask KH fans what’s their favorite version most of them will have different answers because all of them are so good that it is too subjective and the connection is made by the melody, memories or nostalgia for the first game you’ve played…
    For me it is KH 3D or 358/2 Days version.

  • @demilung
    @demilung Před 3 lety +59

    You know, there's more to Kingdom Hearts than nostalgia. I've first played KH at 27, I didn't have consoles growing up and I bought my PS4 with my own money and saw a pretty sick deal on KH3 Pre-order - pay a bit more and get a ton of games. I've heard people praising and bashing KH before, but I decided to give it a try.
    A lot of the stuff in the games is definitely childish, especially the first one. A lot of it is naive or very "jRPG". A lot of it is silly and taking some of the things from it too serious may be very cringy. But the gameplay is still pretty fun, and if you take the story for what it is - a mix of a jRPG with Disney film level of childish naivety, then you can enjoy the story as well. With a silly premise and silly characters, it manages to still convey and make you feel some real emotions. It gets really convoluted and ridiculous if you try and explain to a stranger what's the deal with Roxas and Xion, but their fates still made you feel sad. It's similarly convoluted and ridiculous explaining what Lingering Will is, but it was pretty hype when it showed up in KH3.
    It's a jRPG fairy tale, like Disney movies. If you take any fairy tale very seriously and criticize it as such you can see numerous flaws in all of them. But if you keep in mind that's its a fairy tale, then you can have some good times with it.

    • @cyangenox
      @cyangenox Před 3 lety +20

      I agree 100% with you. Kingdom Hearts is a fairy tale, which took a LOT of risk in its process of fusing Disney and Square-Enix. In my opinion it is one of the most amazing fairy tales ever done. What people need to do in these days is to accept the concept of story that the creator did for it, and not what people wanted it to be, like in the past. Kingdom Hearts was, is and always will be amazing.

    • @Kronos_88
      @Kronos_88 Před 3 lety +9

      You're absolutely correct. I think it's not just about nostalgia; these kinds of stories simply hit different when you're younger. I played KH1 and 2 in 2005, when I was 12. Along with the Final Fantasy games (6 through 10 specifically), I thought they were the best games ever. And the feeling of "growing" alongside the games as the story developed more and the characters got more fleshed out, I think when you start looking back on that: that's the nostalgia part. KH3 was a big nostalgia trip and more, since pretty much all of the characters got some screen time. But even back with the first few games, they were already something special honestly.
      And aside from that I think, even though the story is convoluted and I agree it's actually a lot of "hocus pocus fairy tale magic", it's brought in a way that makes you go through the entire emotional spectrum. And honestly, to me, that's the real magic of the series. Even if sometimes I don't like the Disney side, or the convoluted story and plot holes, even if I don't like some of the mechanics or even parts of the story, it's still an amazing work of art in my opinion.

    Beauty in music is everywhere and those who find it can find peace in that beauty. Nothing is more important than the feelings you feel when remembering something you hold so dear in your heart and accepting that it is now just a memory. Dearly beloved ties my heart to this impactful franchise of goofy Disney characters running around with a cast of characters that shaped me into the person I am today, and when it is over I will lie in wait and fondly remember my life with through this song.

    KH - Riku drowns, Sora falls out of the sky and lands on Sora, knocking Sora into the sea.
    KHCOM - Sora thinks he was in a ton of Disney movies and dies because of it. Riku locks himself in a door to be with Mickey (Riku is Mickey's biggest fan) and Kairi is sent to a desert where she shall die of thirst.
    KH358/2 - Roxas needed a reminder of who's in the Organization
    KH2 - Kairi remembers that things happened. She misses Sora so much that her long lost sister notices and locks Sora in a flower bud to pay the ultimate price. She whispers to him before he is sent to eternal sleep: "Thank Naminè" AKA the magic words that gave birth to Roxas
    KHBBS - Earth, Wind, and Water are warriors that fight the old man army. Earth rejects Water and drowns in darkness, Wind is asleep and dreams of Hercules and Stitch. Water is forever alone. R.I.P Water.
    KHR:C - Sora is locked in a digital book of memories. Also has some decent music and glitches in there, he should be fine.
    KH3D - Kingdom Hearts: The Musical. Featuring Mickey the Wizard/Swordsman
    KH0.2 - and now, a sneak peek at Water's musical memories.
    KHBC - *Among Us*
    KHUX - War crimes are committed just for an Among Us game. Also time travel because time travel is fun, right?
    KHUXDR - Young Xehanort's misadventures.
    KH3(2.9) - Wind looks like Roxas (or does Roxas look like Wind?) and Wind is sleeping, Earth is evil and also sleeping, and Water is playing the world's longest game of hide and seek... and is also probably asleep. Sora remembers his adventures through Disney World and Disney World 2: Button Mashing Electric Boogaloo. Roxas decides to be like Wind and goes to sleep inside Sora, who almost forgot he almost dies taking an exam. Riku passed his, so good job for him. His reward is to go on another adventure with his idol, Kairi goes to do some.... thing, and Sora goes off to gain some power. Also, people playing chess.
    KH3 - Chess is bad.
    KH3 Re•Mind - More time travel because is fun.... Right? Also Nomura is kinda mad because Square Enix didn't let them make FF Versus 13.
    KH Melody of Memory - Kairi finally have an important roll in the series and still is useless. Best version of Dearly Beloved tho.
    Things to know: Hearts = souls, Roxas likes ice cream, Sora's mom is STILL waiting for him to come to dinner, and Earth isn't actually Earth, Wind is the oldest besides he is 12 years old.

      @@Ayumuobsessed Smash is not complete, it is missing characters that could not enter such as Ryu Hayabusa or Crash also they lack game modes such as target practice, all stars, boss mode among others ... but that does not mean that the game is very good

    This collection is amazing! Dearly Beloved is my fav piece of video game music ever. I've got a really soft spot for the [chi] version. It really feels like the start of an adventure.
