I'm nearing 30 and this shit still hits like when I was in my teens. Wow. Life flies fast, take care of yourself everyone! Update: I lost my dad 2 weeks ago. Really, take care of yourself and each other. It's unfortunate that we will see days like this but we have to be strong.
Im a man in my 30s driving a huge truck in a military uniform and I blast this on the highway in my feels and people look at me weird. Man this is my childhood😂
Freakygeek1209 I completely agree with you. This has been my all time favorite game since it came out. And this song is still so epic, makes me think of some good times. :)
It’s worse when you listen to it with headphones in, if you don’t wanna cry, I do not recommend the use of headphones AT ALL cus im so mad that I just did that to myself, now my face is all red N shit 🤦🏽♂️😔
I remember when I was younger, I would literally just watch this intro on repeat over and over again because I just loved the way the scenes were choreographed with the video.
Never even played the game until like 2021 when it was ported to PC but holy hell the intro was good i still remember really liking the intro in middle school
To this day, 17 years later I still shed tears over the memories of this game. This song never fails to arise emotions in me that I hardly ever show on the surface.
I swear the day Kingdom hearts 3 finally releases that's shit's gonna be out of stock the first day cuz bare fans would be up by 5:00 to get the game lol
my biggest wish is that kh3 can get even more gamers to join! so many people don't imagine how good this games actually are cause theres 'disney' in it. I feel bad for them
I was a really loner growing up . Spent a lot of my times playing games and watching movies . But this , this kept me alive . Gave me hope that one day I will find true friends .
This opening is so dreamlike, elegiac, and beautiful. It’s almost so surreal it’s hard to believe you didn’t just dream it up when recalling it. But that’s what I love about it. It can show imagery that couldn’t be possible if logic was taken into account. It feels so much bigger than itself, and that’s because it is. It’s telling the tale of these tragic but brilliant characters in a poetic lucid dream of an opening.
You explained that really well, I agree. Ill go as far as to say nothing to this magnitude of pure blissful art can exist in todays wicked world. This is music made without an agenda, without trying to make name for oneself or any of that. Is almost like a human can only be vessels for something like that to shine through from some other realm. Almost like the type of music Michael Jackson made too.
Roxas accidently being brought into existence and being completely lost in the world trying to find meaning for his life only find out that he should never have existed in the first place...
why does this (made in 2007) look so much better then norm of the north? (2016) oh that's right. these people were actually thinking, and they were putting their minds to good use on this beautiful game
Ohhh yea the gaming mechanics the fighting styles!!! Yea this game is a certified gem💯 if had not lost my ps2 memory card I would still be playing it til' this very day.....this game deserves to be preserved in gaming history💯 no ifs, ands, or buts!!!

I was a kid when the first game came out, I loved it, then the second game came out. I am 20 years old now, and I still get Chills when I hear this song.
me too same age as well. Got to come back every once in awhile to feel the nostalgia and remember what shaped my video game knowledge and allowed me to enjoy and be grateful for Japan
Finished kh2 for the first time yesterday. I am going through a really difficult time right now, and this song made me break out in tears and cry uncontrollably when the credits rolled. I felt better after it Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Axel Thank you for this adventure. I am done being a nobody, time to become whole again
All the hardships you went through and will be going through are meant for something. They’ll help you become the best version of yourself. I don’t know what is happening in your life stranger but always remind yourself that nothing that’s going on in your life right now defines your worth as a person! There is a tomorrow and you will be there for it!
this introduction never gets old. like damn kingdom hearts is such an amazing game. its so beautiful and so artistic. not just the story is amazing but the visuals. the style. the way Disney fits in a feeling like never before into this game. everything about it. its so lovable. I don't know what kind of person I'd be if it wasn't for kingdom hearts. it taught me so many life lessons about friendship, what's important, to have courage, and so much more. and it made me the artist I am today. And I thank the creators of kingdom hearts for making something so amazing
+Daniel Ramirez I was just thinking that. 1 and 2 had some great intro songs that are major nostalgia bombs in their own right. Hopefully 3 doesn't disappoint.
Whether you like or dislike the Kingdom Hearts franchise, the Kingdom Hearts opening and accompanying song makes the Kingdom Hearts intro one of the best video game intro's the video game industry has ever experienced. Great Square Enix quality intro with a musical masterpiece to accompany it. Two A+ creations coming together as a whole, creating pure magical bliss.
@@Riorozen wym by offshoot? You tb the ones like the 365/2 days one? Or the main ones? Cus lowkey the 365/2 days one brought more emotions out than the 2nd one so I can definitely agree.
This makes me so emotional because my dad is getting old and sick, but he’s the reason I was introduced to video games and Kingdom Hearts. Idk who I would be without it honestly, it’s such a core memory and part of who i am now. Whenever i see the openings it just transports me back to when I was a kid playing every day all summer long and my dad watching me play. Getting old sucks 🥺
There is no guarantee that if they do make a new song it will be by Utada I don't know the details but she has been through a lot and came back to music recently plus last time she wasn't happy a contract she had with square and/or disney so there is no guarantee she will return should could but don't again no reason to believe she will
Ovoo D Jr. I turned 18 back in April. I can't believe I'm most likely going to turn 20 before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out assuming 2018 is when it releases. I started playing these games when I was 5...
tears of Nostalgia. start falling my face as i hear this song. damn it , it takes me to a simpler time when i would play ps2 with my older bro we would tag team this game
I was humming this at work not even realizing where it came from. It was just in my head. 1 of my coworkers I barely talk to goes HEY U PLAY KINGDOM HEARTS? I’m like yeah long time ago why u ask? He started whistling this song then we both started doing it and ended up laughing talking about k2 on ps2.
Actually Winter 2016 has been confirmed to be a fake release date by Nomura himself. He has decided an actual release date and he will announce it to everyone at d23 in November
"a scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I wanna line the pieces up - yours and mine." such nostalgia!
Please never delete this video. This video healed something deep inside of me, and is a part of my childhood and my life. I want to visit this when I'm 80 lol. 💞
The Lone Dreamer it's not confirmed yet of square Enix/Disney have come to terms with utada for kh 3. She got an insulting amount of money for both games. Normally musicians and artists/singers take the song that's given TO them and get paid as much as she did. Not many people know she WROTE the theme songs. She should've been given a % instead of peanuts. It's extremely insulting to me that DISNEY....f'kg DISNEY!!! Won't give her a decent contract. Think about how you feel when listening to this song. DISNEY nor square Enix wrote or preformed it. These songs came from utadas heart and beautiful angelic voice
I last played kingdom hearts 2 on ps2 in 2010 and i was 15 then, Kingdom hearts 3 got announced when i was 18 and i am now 21. I hope it gets released soon
I remember being 13 in 2012 and just geeking so hard over all of this stuff. It was all new to me. I had the organization 13 black hoodie from hot topic in middle school. Man I’d get roasted by all the other cool kids, but I’m happy I kept my composure the entire time.
Omg, same, literally can't explain it but every time I hear this song tears of joy burst through, even the very first time on PS2 when the graphics of that were absolutely mind blowing (and remain even now to be pretty top notch tbh)
gotta admit even though I barley even know anything about this game (even though i just came from a 20 min video explaining the whole timeline of this game)except for the fact that you play as a little kid with a weird key shaped weapon and you fight alongside disney characters this still starts bringing tears to my eyes bravo game bravo
Jeremy Daszkowski Kingdom hearts 358/2 days s actually a prequel to Kingdom hearts 2. Time line goes Kingdom hearts X kingdom hearts BBS kingdom hearts BBS 0.2 which runs before KH3 as well. Kingdom hearts 1 Little bits of KH 358/2 days Kingdom hearts Re:Chain of memories, The Rest of KH 358/2 days Kingdom Hearts 2 Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded Kingdom Hearts DDD Kingdom Hearts 3. :3
I still come crawling back even in 2024. There is a really special feeling this shit puts in my hearts I’ve been playing since I can literally remember. We can’t ever let kingdom hearts die. It’s too special too us.
I honestly disagree. Music like this can’t be “achieved” by some type of effort or attempt to make it. This type of music is from another realm, and just shines through a vessel.
I was 18 when this came out. The song was so impactful and I found myself wishing for the kind of soul connection that Sora and Kairi had. This year, I met my true love, and the song came back for me. It was like it was waiting for her. I'm so grateful.
They nailed the timing coming out with this masterpiece. Any other time would’ve been too late or too soon. It simply encapsulates everything about the wonders of childhood. The innocence, the curiosity, the fear of the unknown, aka adulthood. Simply…Perfection..
Because shitty Pop music is the "good music" and video game music is "stupid ass shit" in my opinion it's the other way around but to most people that are idiots it's not
TGXP Aka Team Gohan X Plusle I prefer Japanese music over American music. It's all about drugs, alcohol, sex, money, and women where as Japanese music is about motivation, friendship, love, and just telling a story.
trust me, this has had millions and millions of views over the years. This video was constantly being taken down for copyright, trust me this song is about 10 years old now, and it was extraordinarily popular back then. and still relatively is today.
Kingdom of hearts 2: sanctuary I need more affection than you know (Reversed) In you and I There's a new land Angels in flight I need more affection than you know ([Reversed) My sanctuary My sanctuary, yeah Where fears and lies melt away Music will tie I need more affection than you know (Reversed) What's left of me What's left of me now I watch you fast asleep All I fear Means nothing In you and I There's a new land Angels in flight I need more affection than you know (Reversed) My sanctuary My sanctuary, yeah Where fears and lies melt away Music will tie I need more affection than you know (Reversed) What's left of me What's left of me So many ups and downs (Reversed) My heart's a battleground I need two emotions (Reversed) I need more affection than you know (Reversed) I need two emotions (Reversed) You show me how to see That nothing is whole and Nothing is broken In you and I There's a new land Angels in flight I need more affection than you know (Reversed) My sanctuary My Sanctuary, yeah Where fears and lies melt away Music will tie I need more affection than you know (Reversed) What's left of me What's left of me now My fears... My lies... Melt away... I need more affection than you know (Reversed)
I’m 27 and it feels like I heard this for the first time again. I got goosebumps when I first listened to this song and it still gives me goosebumps to this day.
to be honest this game means alot to me. it kind of molded me into who i am now. its a really deeo game that talks about a lot of thought provoking things that you just dont get in game or in ANYTHING for that matter. And then the Disney side of it made it so magical and, being raised by Disney like the other kids of my generation, it was almost like i was going on this journey to meet some destiny i had. sounds stupid but this game the story the music the memories....its just something that will always be a part of me.
I feel this. I have incurable ailments and I struggle with anger and depression. But at least the KH2 opening still brings a smile to my face temporarily
I understand why everyone is hating the complexity of KH, but.... if you look closely to every game.. KH1 hardly explained a thing, KH2 tried to explain somethings but created more questions and those "spin-offs" answered it (Birth By Sleep and 358/2 days). To everyone who has give up in the series should give it a chance again and get the HD Remasters, play the games in order (KH1-RE:COM-358/2 Days-KH2-BBS-Re:Coded-DDD) and I can tell you for sure that you will get a rewarding experience and you'll now understand that those "spin-offs" were really necessary (well, I haven't played Re:Coded and DDD, but I'm sure DDD is necessary)
Only thing I don't like is that they want to force me to get a DS and a PSP in order to get the full story... And I don't own any newer consoles than my ps2, so I can't even play the remastered versions, and I can't afford a any new console :( poor student... ^^''
They arent even spinoffs technically. Its all the same story and characters. They take different perpectives of the story or are gateway games for the true main games. Cause all f it would be too much for the series.recoded is the only one that you really shouldnt play but you should wach the cutscenes of he last half of the game
I remember when this game came out! I think I was 13 or 14! I called EB games before they closed so I ran there after class and got it and skipped school to play it lol
I would like to go back in time and see all those fans' reactions when they saw everything they knew in the story retold and reshown in amazing HD quality with graphics that are STILL AHEAD OF ITS TIME, with characters looking all epic, all the amazing feels and emotions, this amazing and captivating song that makes your ears turn red, all of this, in one intro video. I would have wanted to see those reactions. I really would have. Those diehard fans dying so hard at this intro when it first released. I was too young then, so I unfortunately missed it.
The Zigzagman This cutscene was much, much better. The music, the story telling, the visuals, the length, the rhythmic syncing, they were all better than the sonic '06 intro.
The Zigzagman Your point was that the quality of cutscenes is higher than the standard graphics of the rest of a game, but your point doesn't matter much because you failed to see the original commenter's point when you replied. Toon link was implying that the cutscene was better than other cutscenes in other games, not the cutscene was better than the overall graphics of other games. My reply was getting back on the original topic, while yours was based on an incorrect assumption.
Kanade Tachibana Actually, the original post appears to be more about the quality and brevity of this cutscene compared to the visuals of the original kingdom hearts game and how fans who had just completed that game would appreciate the retelling. Your interpretation is too broad.

Same here, idk why I shed a tear every time but I do.
You literally described my exact emotion when hearing this. Good to know it had that effect on others as well.
Still one of the best choreographed openings around for a game of this type.
Nah, not only of this type. KH2 and its intro are PHENOMENAL
Of this type? This is an amazing opening PERIOD
Best intro for best KH, Period
The fact my parents named me Kairi bc this was their fav game

I don't know what kind of person I'd be if it wasn't for kingdom hearts. it taught me so many life lessons about friendship, what's important, to have courage, and so much more. and it made me the artist I am today. And I thank the creators of kingdom hearts for making something so amazing
Yeeeep, sooo true:-)))
Literally couldn't of said it any better. Taught me life lessons and made me who I am today.
much love.
Your point of view is amazing itself
KH3 HAS to have a good intro song. It can't let us down.
+Daniel Ramirez I was just thinking that. 1 and 2 had some great intro songs that are major nostalgia bombs in their own right. Hopefully 3 doesn't disappoint.
+Daniel Ramirez It won't, because it's never coming out.
Every KH game has a good intro so obviously it won't be disappointing
+Kids Rojo It's scheduled to come out at the end of 2016 actually. pre orders are already happening. It'll be on both PS4 and Xbox One
+Boy5Bad I didn't realize it was coming out on x1. That works for me if its true. (was just gonna go out and drop a few hundred on a ps4)
Whether you like or dislike the Kingdom Hearts franchise, the Kingdom Hearts opening and accompanying song makes the Kingdom Hearts intro one of the best video game intro's the video game industry has ever experienced.
Great Square Enix quality intro with a musical masterpiece to accompany it. Two A+ creations coming together as a whole, creating pure magical bliss.
I know right, I think even number 1 opening is, however they went all out with 2
Iconic!
@@z.a.y.n-5053definitely, the first one was dope but the emotions that the second one brings outta you? Unbelievable.
@@Riorozen wym by offshoot? You tb the ones like the 365/2 days one? Or the main ones? Cus lowkey the 365/2 days one brought more emotions out than the 2nd one so I can definitely agree.
This makes me so emotional because my dad is getting old and sick, but he’s the reason I was introduced to video games and Kingdom Hearts. Idk who I would be without it honestly, it’s such a core memory and part of who i am now. Whenever i see the openings it just transports me back to when I was a kid playing every day all summer long and my dad watching me play.
Getting old sucks 🥺
I'm glad I'm still a kid right now because, I might still be alive when KH3 comes out.
yeah
Kendama Nerds me to
Kendama Nerds it comes out next month XD
it does thank you for telling me
i want it now
Dude I miss Roxas so much.
SAME
Roxas was the only reason why I liked it.
FlutterByes same
+PKsparkelZ roads was Amazing :D
+Valdo Terry such a tragic story too... God I'd hate to be him LMAO
Im 32... and this s**t still makes me cry... life was good :)
Tee Jay everything was so much clearer, there was hope, and life was deep
Boy shut yo sensitive ass up
Nevermind I just cried
Now your 39, that was fast huh lol
3:47 is still one of my favorite scenes from any video game, Ever. So beautiful.
This made me cry the first time I saw it. Lol
true man
Found you again!
@@JuhMall01 We both have good taste hehe. I love this game so much. Still playing Kh3!
@@ZeranZeran Yooo I JUST installed some mods for KH3, gonna try Crit all Pro Codes with Improved Movement and Restyle Mod!
@@JuhMall01 I just installed a mod to get glide early because I'm lazy lmao, it's so much better though! I'm gonna check that mod out, ty man!
Anyone else just want KH3 for the new Utada Hikaru song? You know everyone is going to be singing that at the midnight release!
She made a new song? what is it
+Snorlax there will be a new one for KH3.
+Brandon K of course! why would they break that trend?
There is no guarantee that if they do make a new song it will be by Utada I don't know the details but she has been through a lot and came back to music recently plus last time she wasn't happy a contract she had with square and/or disney so there is no guarantee she will return should could but don't again no reason to believe she will
Imagine in Kingdom Hearts 2.8 you beat it and watching the credits there is a new Utada theme song being played with clips to KHII.
This intro is so engraved into my psyche that I was getting full body chills all throughout. Wow. ✨
facts the vocals just unnnf
Marluxia is daddy (no homo)
this is why I wish we had time machines :(
+96nairrA lol
+96nairrA omg you're stupid 😂😂😂😂
k.
96nairrA your profile pic fits that comment
Like how this is hppenin because he sad he wanted a a time machine
i swear when i was a kid and first saw this intro it changed the way i saw life, always come back to watch it every now and then
I was SUCH A Kid..😩😖😭😭😢 Now I'm about to be 21 The 10th (September) Now I ... I .. I...I want my childhood back NOW
Damn, happy belated birthday! Mines also the 10th! Just turned 20
Illuminati confirmed
you still sound like a kid
Ovoo D Jr. look gay asf with that Snapchat filter 😂😂😂
Ovoo D Jr. I turned 18 back in April. I can't believe I'm most likely going to turn 20 before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out assuming 2018 is when it releases. I started playing these games when I was 5...
tears of Nostalgia. start falling my face as i hear this song. damn it , it takes me to a simpler time when i would play ps2 with my older bro we would tag team this game
Julian Rodriguez aw man
Ahhh, video games in the 90s and early 00s, but now we just have FPS games. :(
I haven't played this game once and I don't even know the story but this intro is so good.
If you have a PS3, buy 1.5 and start from the beginning. If you have a PS2, get the original game and this one.
dude you have to play this games because they are awesome and epic
+majorpaine89 better wait for the 1.5 and 2.5 collections coming to PS4 on march next year, then you can play them at 1080p and 60fps
along with playing them in technical order, Kh BBS, 1, ect.
Lol same and lol ikr 😂😁☺️💕
I was humming this at work not even realizing where it came from. It was just in my head. 1 of my coworkers I barely talk to goes HEY U PLAY KINGDOM HEARTS? I’m like yeah long time ago why u ask? He started whistling this song then we both started doing it and ended up laughing talking about k2 on ps2.
Awesome
this song sends shivers down my spine
Spooky scary skeletons send shivers down my spine
Really?
+goldosprey L
same
true
kingdom hearts 3 will basically bring back the favorite memories from my childhood. I will probably be 20 by the time it releases. Holy shit hahaha
Least that's still young, some of us past that point and still waiting, lmao
kolaida It's going to be released by winter of next year.
Actually Winter 2016 has been confirmed to be a fake release date by Nomura himself. He has decided an actual release date and he will announce it to everyone at d23 in November
GeneralRobotHoovy I know.
***** Same, Im 19 now, can't believe I was only 8 when i first played KH
Sora shoe game on point XD.
Lol those big shoes lol.
His hands are like as long as Kairi's torso high.
+Nigel Uchiha it's supposed to mirror Mickey's design
I see that, im just saying.
Tj Rizvi I always thought Sora was like a Human Mickey
This song has "repeating that part of a song cause it didn't hurt you enough" energy but for its entire duration. Makes me tear up every damn time.
This whole video gives me shivers
Ryan Blumberg in a good or bad way?
RIGHT, this and Simple and Clean ALWAYS give me nostalgia chills lol.
It's a little depressing.
so that's what its called
Was just about to comment that it gives me chills but it's awesome
"a scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I wanna line the pieces up - yours and mine." such nostalgia!
Brad Stover my childhood
This opening is so special. Nothing in the world give me this kind of feels.
Please never delete this video. This video healed something deep inside of me, and is a part of my childhood and my life. I want to visit this when I'm 80 lol. 💞
I get chills everytime I listen to this. I sometimes like to cry to this song, I know I'm a bit emotional.
Childhood memories.....come back to me omg 😭
Yeeeesssss
Here I am again..2 years later🔥
It's so hard not to cry when I listen to this Omg 😢😥
same
ILove Autumn same
ILove Autumn yeah
Gotta say, this is my all time favourite song. Hard to believe it's a theme song.
The Lone Dreamer it's not confirmed yet of square Enix/Disney have come to terms with utada for kh 3. She got an insulting amount of money for both games. Normally musicians and artists/singers take the song that's given TO them and get paid as much as she did. Not many people know she WROTE the theme songs. She should've been given a % instead of peanuts. It's extremely insulting to me that DISNEY....f'kg DISNEY!!! Won't give her a decent contract. Think about how you feel when listening to this song. DISNEY nor square Enix wrote or preformed it. These songs came from utadas heart and beautiful angelic voice
I last played kingdom hearts 2 on ps2 in 2010 and i was 15 then, Kingdom hearts 3 got announced when i was 18 and i am now 21. I hope it gets released soon
probably 2018.
Luke Duke Bellamy It comes out next month
Katieinmidnightsun eh..no, kingdom hearts 2.8 comes out next month, not Kh3..
2.8 releases in japan :)
Luke Duke Bellamy end of the year my guy
goddamnit, who left this bowl of onions here..
Hahaha great ass comment!
i dont know how but i know u have the best comment!!!
Sorry I missed placed them...
LOL it was squidward
Gosh, this looks so sad. I never played these games, but I loved the soundtracks when my bro downloaded them forever ago
khalia
Sipplio theyre emotional but some of it is happy and some is sad
It's good until sora dies from the heartless
If it takes you 300 hours to 100% this game you're doing something terribly wrong friend. Even on the hardest difficulty.
2024 came back to watch again 😢😊
If only this was real life.
kingdom hearts that's true i could be Riku definitely got the hight at least I'm 6ft 9in isn't Riku the taller one of the group?
yup. since he is older than both kairi and sora.
Doug Crouse what?! That nigga 6'9?!? Damn!!
kingdom hearts i get that allot
kingdom hearts 25
I have cried to this game more than once
ditto
+UltimateSafireSun I never cry, to any movie or anime, especially not games.... until Kingdom Hearts came along.... Damn you Kingdom Hearts!!
+Raven Death Knight Try clannad and kanon
SlenderPartyPlaythroughs Oh God no! I don't need another to the list!
sammmeeee
kingdom hearts is the best game ever. love the story line.
I remember being 13 in 2012 and just geeking so hard over all of this stuff. It was all new to me. I had the organization 13 black hoodie from hot topic in middle school. Man I’d get roasted by all the other cool kids, but I’m happy I kept my composure the entire time.
I remember watching this as a kid and then resetting my PS2 to watch it again because I liked the song so much... Good times.
childhood memories 😭
Omg, same, literally can't explain it but every time I hear this song tears of joy burst through, even the very first time on PS2 when the graphics of that were absolutely mind blowing (and remain even now to be pretty top notch tbh)
These openings will never get old. God they're so gorgeous and emotional.
gotta admit even though I barley even know anything about this game (even though i just came from a 20 min video explaining the whole timeline of this game)except for the fact that you play as a little kid with a weird key shaped weapon and you fight alongside disney characters this still starts bringing tears to my eyes bravo game bravo
omg I swear I'm the same. I wonder if we watched the same 20 minute video.
The story in this game is one of the coolest I've ever played
+Stealthyhunter theres people who play this game and barely know anything about it xD Kingdom Hearts story is an incredibly hard one to understand.
actually its not hard to follow. if you watch cinematic story to 258/2 days it is a sequal to the KH2. it all makes sense.
Jeremy Daszkowski Kingdom hearts 358/2 days s actually a prequel to Kingdom hearts 2.
Time line goes
Kingdom hearts X
kingdom hearts BBS
kingdom hearts BBS 0.2 which runs before KH3 as well.
Kingdom hearts 1
Little bits of KH 358/2 days
Kingdom hearts Re:Chain of memories,
The Rest of KH 358/2 days
Kingdom Hearts 2
Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded
Kingdom Hearts DDD
Kingdom Hearts 3.
:3
I still come crawling back even in 2024. There is a really special feeling this shit puts in my hearts I’ve been playing since I can literally remember. We can’t ever let kingdom hearts die. It’s too special too us.
this game gives lots of old memories and battles....WERES KINGDOM HEARTS 3?!?!?!?!?!??!
In the future.
+rob19ny 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
2017
that MEANS HALF LIFE 3 is confirmed in 2017
there actually making a kingdom hearts 3 tho. there's gameplay
my teacher plays this like when we work do a test like nice teacher
PS.He likes kingdom hearts a lot like ne
Your teacher is cool! :)
Can i go to your school? You're teacher sounds amazing!
***** Yeah but he can sometimes be mean but he is mostly chill
Ashtree Sgnh I still think he's cool. He's the first adult I've heard of that even knows of the game!
***** Just me and one kid in class knows about the game actually just me the one kid does not know a lot about it :(
Somebody set out to make a masterpiece with this, and they achieved their goal.
I honestly disagree. Music like this can’t be “achieved” by some type of effort or attempt to make it. This type of music is from another realm, and just shines through a vessel.
@@Ril014 facts I believe they didn’t know how powerful this song or opening could be it just came about and it changed the video game industry fr fr
I was 18 when this came out. The song was so impactful and I found myself wishing for the kind of soul connection that Sora and Kairi had. This year, I met my true love, and the song came back for me. It was like it was waiting for her. I'm so grateful.
4:05 when the scene and the drop mix perfectly 😢 It got me goosebumps
Every fuckin time !! That fuckn drop is wicked man ., chills every time
@@kaymahgeeIt uses a few notes from simple and clean in order to give a sense of unease and nostalgia(it never finishes the melody)
The only intro cutscene that hits you with the combined feels of two whole games from one of the most emotionally impactful series in the medium.
They nailed the timing coming out with this masterpiece. Any other time would’ve been too late or too soon. It simply encapsulates everything about the wonders of childhood. The innocence, the curiosity, the fear of the unknown, aka adulthood.
Simply…Perfection..
31 years old and the pain of knowing I'll never be the same as I was the first time i heard this song is too much to bear 😭
I love playing through these games so much they're still fun to this day man why can't more games be as good as this
+Jeffery Peso yeah
Because they are more interested in cinematics
because its square enix they are to unique
How come shitty pop music gets alot of attention yet songs like these don't get the attention it deserves.
Because shitty Pop music is the "good music" and video game music is "stupid ass shit" in my opinion it's the other way around but to most people that are idiots it's not
TGXP Aka Team Gohan X Plusle I prefer Japanese music over American music. It's all about drugs, alcohol, sex, money, and women where as Japanese music is about motivation, friendship, love, and just telling a story.
Japanese music MUCH BETTER than American Pop Music
TGXP Aka Team Gohan X Plusle Indeed.
trust me, this has had millions and millions of views over the years. This video was constantly being taken down for copyright, trust me this song is about 10 years old now, and it was extraordinarily popular back then. and still relatively is today.
Kingdom of hearts 2: sanctuary

I’m 27 and it feels like I heard this for the first time again. I got goosebumps when I first listened to this song and it still gives me goosebumps to this day.
Am i the only one with tears in his eyes #childhoodmemories
2:45 This is my favorite part of the song! It's just so hype!
Joey O'Sullivan imagination just takes over
Prince Noctis It's so good, right?
Joey O'Sullivan that part always gives me goosebumps , every time i heard it
Orlando Chaviano Same here!
i agree !
Superman won't kill me, the memories will...
Lol
+Batman to late dead i am ghost me is here
who are YOU?
After all these years. It's still SO BEAUTIFUL.
to be honest this game means alot to me. it kind of molded me into who i am now. its a really deeo game that talks about a lot of thought provoking things that you just dont get in game or in ANYTHING for that matter. And then the Disney side of it made it so magical and, being raised by Disney like the other kids of my generation, it was almost like i was going on this journey to meet some destiny i had. sounds stupid but this game the story the music the memories....its just something that will always be a part of me.
I can't listen to this song without crying. My childhood was shit but kingdom hearts made it better. ;-; WHY AM I LIKE THIS MY GUY?!
I feel this. I have incurable ailments and I struggle with anger and depression.
But at least the KH2 opening still brings a smile to my face temporarily
Kingdom hearts 3 = Me and friends buying pizza and playing all day
+Snorlax have fun
+Snorlax you have friends ?
LOL SNORLAX
True I would do the same
Oh.. hey there
Simple and Clean and Sanctuary will forever take me back to Kingdom Hearts. 😭❤️
One of my favorite games I ever played ❤
Same here
I understand why everyone is hating the complexity of KH, but.... if you look closely to every game.. KH1 hardly explained a thing, KH2 tried to explain somethings but created more questions and those "spin-offs" answered it (Birth By Sleep and 358/2 days). To everyone who has give up in the series should give it a chance again and get the HD Remasters, play the games in order (KH1-RE:COM-358/2 Days-KH2-BBS-Re:Coded-DDD) and I can tell you for sure that you will get a rewarding experience and you'll now understand that those "spin-offs" were really necessary (well, I haven't played Re:Coded and DDD, but I'm sure DDD is necessary)
Only thing I don't like is that they want to force me to get a DS and a PSP in order to get the full story... And I don't own any newer consoles than my ps2, so I can't even play the remastered versions, and I can't afford a any new console :( poor student... ^^''
Kefka Palazzo Its all on PS3 now, and Dream Drop Distance is probably gonna be remastered too but It's a really good 3DS game as it is
They arent even spinoffs technically. Its all the same story and characters. They take different perpectives of the story or are gateway games for the true main games. Cause all f it would be too much for the series.recoded is the only one that you really shouldnt play but you should wach the cutscenes of he last half of the game
Nathaniel Chery And that's the problem, I can't afford to buy a console, and I only have my ps2 xD
Dang man, and if your anything like me your woud just end up buying a ps4 just for KH3. at least ps3's arent as expensive anymore
I love this game and the music so much it's unhealthy
+Sorsha lightcap You mean *absolutely healthy! xD
+༼ つ◕ω◕ ༽つ WOW lol thank you ❤️😂

I remember when this game came out! I think I was 13 or 14! I called EB games before they closed so I ran there after class and got it and skipped school to play it lol
Darn, I'm all out of Heavy Balls. Guess a Great Ball would do the trick.
+James MacKinnon lol
+Snorlax Le wild Snorlax appears in a KH video. Damn better get my Poke flute fast.
That must've been intense
2024... Still hits... my SANCTUARY!!!
I would like to go back in time and see all those fans' reactions when they saw everything they knew in the story retold and reshown in amazing HD quality with graphics that are STILL AHEAD OF ITS TIME, with characters looking all epic, all the amazing feels and emotions, this amazing and captivating song that makes your ears turn red, all of this, in one intro video.
I would have wanted to see those reactions. I really would have. Those diehard fans dying so hard at this intro when it first released. I was too young then, so I unfortunately missed it.
It's a cutscene, of course it looks good.
Sonic 06 has a bad ass looking intro cutscene too, hilariously.
The Zigzagman This cutscene was much, much better. The music, the story telling, the visuals, the length, the rhythmic syncing, they were all better than the sonic '06 intro.
Kanade Tachibana wasn't my point.
The Zigzagman Your point was that the quality of cutscenes is higher than the standard graphics of the rest of a game, but your point doesn't matter much because you failed to see the original commenter's point when you replied.
Toon link was implying that the cutscene was better than other cutscenes in other games, not the cutscene was better than the overall graphics of other games. My reply was getting back on the original topic, while yours was based on an incorrect assumption.
Kanade Tachibana Actually, the original post appears to be more about the quality and brevity of this cutscene compared to the visuals of the original kingdom hearts game and how fans who had just completed that game would appreciate the retelling. Your interpretation is too broad.
