Honestly I never gave "We shall Go together" much thought before.... But what a loaded gun of a line. Xemnas knows he will never have Kingdom Hearts, ergo his heart at this point. He's given up on trying. Just a look at the environment of the Final battle... It's just a white void. He know he has no way of getting out of there. It's the literal end of the line. He has accepted his fate, but refuses to go down without Sora and Riku. They prevented him from achieving his goal of only wanting a heart. He just wanted to be whole again. His final wish is revenge. The thing is, he doesn't get a choice in accepting his fate. He is a nobody, he has no heart, no emotion, therefore he has no way of rejecting or accepting his fate. He has no care, because he cannot care. The real Ironic Kicker? He does have a heart.
The sad thing is that this gave him a great motive and you could feel bad for him as well but then DDD came along and rewrote his entire character by making him a boring darkness hungry dumbass who lied to his fellow organization so he could create 13 darknesses/ Xehanorts / Whatevers. I'll never get over DDD (and KH3)'s horrible writing.
@@MsDapsy I agree that DDD's writing ruined his character, and probably was the worst written KH game, but I give KH3 some slack, since it's writing is just the product of where DDD took the series.
British Tea Wasn't No Heart just a data simulation of Master Xehanort in is keyblade armor? Besides i think Xemnas wore it better because of the giant badass throne thing, but then again Xehanort did get off his ass and stand up for the fight.
The fight with Xemnas in KH2 was one of the most satisfying final bosses EVER. Not the hardest, but it was very cinematic and had a ton of atmosphere. The music just boosted the atmosphere to euphoric levels, while the gameplay with those reaction commands made the fighting so realistic. And Xemnas's huge variety of one-liners made the battle it self FEEL so much more epic. And what solidified this fight was that climatic one-liner: "there's no such thing as light... ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha" followed up by a brutal beat-down. My ONLY complaint would be... why couldn't we fight all of those Nobodies at the end? THAT would have been the icing on an already well baked cake.
***** I think ***** is refering to Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+. All the Organization XIII members (1-13) are available as optional Boss Battles & Instead of the Cutscene that takes place in the Dark City are of the World that never was where Sora fought Roxas at the Station of Awakening, theres A boss Battle between you & Roxas. They Have Terra from Birth By Sleep as another Optional Boss, but let's not get into that. Terra's supposed to have a higher difficulty than Sephiroth. (._.)
4:19 that transition just... always hits the fucking soul... that somber piano, the melancholy sway of the chorus.. fucking yoko shimomura. what a woman
Every. Single. Time. I wish there could be a whole song of that - I get it would lose the potency if it WAS a whole song of just that, but it just drives straight to the soul.
Praise God. Jesus, who reigns, my Husband and Son of God, comes soon. USA(Babylon) will be invaded by Russia to the east and China to the west and will lose. NYC will be destroyed. Repent and focus on Jesus. Plead the blood of Jesus like so: "God cleanse and cover me in blood of Jesus. Forgive me of all sin. Jesus." and believe in your heart. Rapture is soon and the kingdom of God is near, so be holy. Obama is the antichrist and will use the rfid chip as mark of the beast with the False Prophet named Francis from Catholicism. Avoid rfid chip or rfid tattoo on right hand or forehead. There will be three days of darkness so please prepare as that will be when Jesus shall visit people. Stay inside during the 3 days of darkness and do not open for anyone. There will be demons in the 3 days of darkness. There will be fallen angels and giants and zombies and cyborgs and werewolves and dinosaurs and persecution and many millions of deaths and disease like boils and tsunami to USA California and New Jersey and Florida and famine and fireball. Jesus is God and He is not a woman. Repent daily. Puerto Rico will have tsunami, asteroid will strike. London will have a flood. Earthquake coming to California. Share the gospel and Word of God. Jesus commanded to be perfect so strive to be perfect and holy. Earth is few thousand years not millions. Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. Do not believe in million year old earth. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man. Watch out for creatures with all black eyes with no white in them, it is demonic. Love you and everyone else God willing and God also loves everyone. Nuclear bombs shall strike. A war between Israel and Iran and Israel shall win. Canada and Europe and South America and asia shall also be affected with judgements. Trump will die and Obama will be shot around the head and around 3 days later have Satan come into him. Sorrow is better than laughter. God gives purpose to all His children so stop listening to false voices and listen to God. Let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls, and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles, lest the Lord see it and be displeased, and turn away his anger from him. The LORD declares: ‘Far be it from me, for those who honor me I will honor, and those who despise me shall be lightly esteemed.“I the LORD search the heart and test the mind, to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his deeds.” For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, trust in Jesus only. In your mind think to love God and others. "Luck" comes from Satan. For all who take the sword will perish by the sword. For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if you forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. There are two genders: male and female in the Word. Do not mock or belittle Jesus. Place mind on heavenly things. Confess Jesus is Lord and God is Father. All man made Earthly kingdoms will be destroyed by fire and replaced by Kingdom of God. Honor the old man, Call no man Father or Rabbi. Make Jerusalem above your mother. Time is short and Jesus is coming to collect a people without spot or blemish. Hell is real and people enter heaven through Jesus and those who are not with Jesus who die go to Hell and then lake of fire forever. If God lets you, gather food and water and supplies you need because water and foods will be affected. You can also ask God to protect you. Waters will turn to poison, The tribulation will be bad so enter rapture to escape. If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. Do not love this life or be lovers of self. EMP coming to USA.All lives matter not just black lives. Avoid making comic book characters your personal hero and make Jesus your hero, He is the Almighty. If you suffer from depression, anxiety, racing thoughts, mood swings, anorexia, suicide thoughts, loneliness, or have a disease, seek Jesus. Jesus can cure any disease.

Nothingness... is... ETERNAL! You shall go together. Why do you despise the void? Sora... are you certain you can trust Riku? Riku... are you sure you're not jealous of Sora? Embrace... nothing! Anger and hate are supreme! Can you spare... a heart? There is no such thing as light! Cursed... Keyblade...
Xemnas has an absolutely horrifying one-liner in this fight that doesn't even play in some of the ports of this game. This dude is the master of nothingness itself and, in a void containing only Sora, Riku, and himself, he looks them dead in the face and says "There's no such thing as light." and the world goes black around them. I can't think of many more terrifying concepts for a character to face.
In my 20s, FINALLY played this 2 years ago, and this whole final boss sequence blew me the HELL away, to the tune of how AWESOME things were as a kid. A gift to still have moments like those!!!!!
@@hellothere4380 what do you mean, that part was so epic and easy, the worst final phase is ansem and his stupid boat phase, it is epic but I hate the glide controls of the final boss, I would be dead on proud mode if I wasn't max level.
@@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565 no i meant that it is the worst phase from the final boss of kh2, its still way better than the kh1 ansem's final phase. (Im not trying to hate on the xemnas battle btw its literally my favourite boss from any game i've played.)
“Xemnas…There is more to a heart than anger and hate, it’s full of all kinds of emotions…Don’t you remember?” “Unfortunately…I don’t”. (Man, those words will never get old for me, goosebumps every time. Just the genuine question from Sora and the clear sadness Xemnas has on his face when he answers. Out of all the villains I have battled in KH or any game franchise, Xemnas will always be my favourite, he’s the only version of Xehanort that I actually felt a connection with and therefore mixed feelings when I finally took him down)
Facts, and I feel even more bad for him in KH3 when at the end, he regrets what he did to his “companions” as he called them. About how he felt lonely after all was said and done, and then after he lowkey commended Sora and co. for their “incredible strength” in dealing with the downsides of having a heart and emotions. Truly a legendary character for me! He’s my favorite version of Xehanort too. His voice actor really helps make him pop, also.
Someone needs to make a GIF of the "trapped in darkness surrounded by 7,000,000 laser beams while deflecting every single one of them by spamming X and triangle" event.
@@werevin649 Then you glide at the Coliseum in 3 and run into like 50 invisible walls everywhere lol it definitely has that, more so than any of the other games.
I just love the feeling of progression you get through the game. Towards the beginning, when Sora first wakes up, you're overwhelmed by a group of relatively weak nobodies and have to be saved by Mickey. Towards the middle, you take down an entire army of 1000+ heartless (I say + because of the leadup where you team up with the FF characters), and though you win and destroy all of them, Sora's has to take a moment to catch his breath, because it was monumental and exhausting. By the end, Xemnas is throwing skyscrapers at Sora, and you nonchalantly cut them down on the way to his dragon thing, then jump off the rubble to get to the reactors.
@@commenteroftruth9790 Yup. Part of the reason I hate KH3. And I tempered my expectations for it, too. I still expected it to have the responsive combat of KH2, and then we got that slow hoverboard-ass combat at launch.
@@yourcollegedebt8384 I would have been fine with the combat if it had continued expanding on drive forms and magic. Instead it dumbed stuff down and removed fun mechanics
@@BigBoy257 In kingdom hearts 3? He literally has nothing powerful. Amusement park rides and basic magic seem his most op to you? Okay guess reaction commands (sora ultra instinct), drive forms (enhanced power to a severe degree, with the most basic form having the ability to wield 2 keyblades), more varied magic, trinity, special abilities. But yes, amusement park ride 3-4 magic sora is much stronger than that. are you going to pull some kind of brainlet logic and mention his thematic based abilities which literally have no gameplay aspects? "Hurr durr this sora travel back into hearts he much stronker". Or maybe its because this one "beat" the X squad. There literally shouldnt be any debate on this unless your head is hollow.
I love that the music for the final phase isn't super climactic and triumphant, but rather this melancholy rendition of the fight before. There's less action than in the Xemnas fights before, and I feel like contrasting the music like that is GENIUS
The decision to slow the song all the way down for the final phase is actually genius. Most people would expect the last phase to be the first, the second to be the last, and the first to be second, but the way it’s done is perfect.
It just oozes with this feeling desperate emptiness. You’re not even somewhere that could be considered real, just some void of spiraling shapes. No time to think about what to do next or whats gonna happen when this is over, just a frantic fight against a bitter husk making one last desperate assault out of vengeance
Oh, I must apologize...I must have not recieved the memo...Please, "Dawn Knight" in the plural tense, show us all your impressive Ethereal Blades that put these..."Breadsticks" to shame. ...Oh, you don't have Ethereal Blades? Pity. If it is any consolation, I would gladly allow you to attempt to eat these... "Breadsticks"... Should you survive, it would prove...amusing... Moving on...As for this..."Zebra Coat." I daresay... I make it work.
Man, Xemnas really felt like a tragic villain in 2. Before all the Xehanort vessel shenanigans that DDD introduced, you could really feel for him and the other Nobodies. He didn't wanna plunge the world's into darkness, he just wanted to become whole and regain a heart. The entire last phase feels like a desperate attempt from him to prove his existence, like he accepts his fate of disappearing, but wants to leave a mark on the world by destroying Sora and Riku. Honestly speaking I really do feel like if you take the first 3 games as their own trilogy, Xemnas is the perfect villain to cap them off on. Obviously Nomura had more in mind than the first 3 entries, but I'd be lying if I said Xemnas wasn't the perfect conclusion to everything that had been building up to that point
Agree, even though his death in KH3 still hit hard. His whole speech about prefering not to have a heart because he didn't want to suffer was extremely sad.
Reading how many people love this fight, the music, and the visual design honestly makes me emotional. The fact that we can all bond over our mutual love for this game and bask in the nostalgia makes my inner child happy.
I got so mad after finding out about that and it wasn't just mash triangle when 99% of this game's QTEs was just pressing triangle. And i had him on only a sliver of hp when i got to that segment of the fight.
2:19 I still love that they would reuse part of this melody for Terra's theme. Brilliant since this is the form of Xehanort closest to Terra without outright being his possessed body. When you think about it, his constant proclamations of the power of anger, hate and rage are fitting since some of Terra's most prominent moments in Birth By Sleep were fueled by such hostile emotions. Even his lust for the power of Kingdom Hearts has very slight similarities to Terra who desired power though his ultimate goal was to protect his friends. Meanwhile Xemnas was too heartless to see his fellow Organization members as anything more than pawns... Then again in Kingdom Hearts III, Xemnas dies regretting the mistreatment of his allies and how lonely their absence makes him feel so he may be even more like Terra than we thought.
this is a very interesting comment and i think everyone can agree that at this point, xemnas is the only xehanort form to resemble terra, which is ironic cause terranort is all xehanort with only his body resembling terra. xemnas, feel nothing but anger and hate, which something terra felt in his last moments fighting xehanort. i dont really think the original xehanort has that much rage and anger, only twisted delusion and insanity. that and xemnas always trying to find ventus and often speaking to aqua's armor, plus the loneliness he felt in kh3, just prove that xemnas is the most similar to terra
Xemnas is a blend of Xehanort and Terra, like how Roxas is a blend of Ven and Sora. He's mostly Xehanort, but there's some Terra in there too, creating a unique consciousness that's not quite Xehanort.
Anger isn't an inherently negative emotion - one can be angry at injustice or angry at an innocent coming to harm. The trick is not to be consumed by anger. Rage is just a twist on that. Hate is more complicated. While we can say hating evil things is probably good, the problem with hate is the mindless adherence it brings, and that if you define something as worthy of hating, you have to be damned sure it IS, as if it IS NOT, you've just given yourself license to be evil to a thing that is not evil. Hate clouds judgements and makes it easy to be vile. Even if a thing is evil, one should not be consumed by hatred for it. When you look long into the abyss, the abyss looks back into you, and through you...
Xehanort stole Terra's body so he could live on. Later on, Xehanort began to steal Ansem the Wise's research, claiming he was Ansem himself. And when Xehanort became a heartless, his Nobody took the name of Ansem, later changing his name by switching up the letters and placing the trademark "X" into his name. X emAns. So Xemnas, in a way, IS Terra.
@@jesusiscool21 Terra didn't do much other than take his own body back. He and Riku should've been with Sora, Donald and Goofy in the final battle with Master Xehanort.
Xemnas claims he can't feel emotion, yet says anger and hate are supreme. Make up your mind. I know KH3D reveals that he's bullshitting on the "Nobodies can't feel" thing, but still.
Greatest final boss EVER!!!! Gosh, how many times did I play the shit out of this game... So many childhood memories... and this music... THIS MUSIC :')
+juan barahoma Yea, it's not difficult, it's just so fun, and takes the perfect amount of time to beat depeding on skill level. I love this game so much.
The new remaster versions of these songs are so good, but the originals will always have a special place in my heart. This series has come a looong ways.
@@psyiax3238 I spent my first time fighting this guy mostly just trying to survive. He's downright brutal if you don't have Dodge Roll (which you *can't* in the original version of the game...), and he's easily able to keep up with Sora and Riku when they're both at their best and armed with Keyblades.
@@iancomtois9832 dude i beat the lingering will before i did the damn data fights and easily won i learned how to dodge his attacks during 1/3 of the fight and i was lvl 40
It's sadden that KH3 got rid of Reaction commands, Final Fantasy Characters, and proper story pacing....KH2 will forever be the best Kingdom Hearts Game along with BBS and 1. Greatest video game I played.
Wholeheartedly agree. Only reason I can explain the drop in quality is the Osaka team taking a lead in the gameplay design and story(they didn’t learn after BBS and DDD...?) and Nomura still sour about FFXIII Versus not coming to fruition
@@Memroh I spent 90$ on that game and expected a Game of Year contender...aside from gameplay and visuals it just wasnt a good kh game just a good game.
absolutely loved this boss as a kid from the start when you enter the door and start running through the distorted world with xemnas literally flinging buildings at you. And then sora beasting his way slicing through them like an absolute badass. It got me so hyped up for the whole fight.
So at my school, I saw that the guy behind me was reading the Kingdom Hearts manga. I asked him if he plays the games and he said yes. Faith in humanity restored.
The same thing happened to me I read two mangas of kingdom hearts 2 (I wasn't a fan of it I just picked it up cause I was intrested) but now kingdom hearts is one of my favorite game series of all time and I'm a huge fan of roxas and I'm pre ordering 2.5 and played dream drop distance.
I loved everything about this fight. In fact, I think it might be my favorite RPG battle of all time. The frantic pace of the actual combat, the sweat that it took to beat, the *set-piece* battle segment change-ups that fit in perfectly (the *surrounded with lasers have to deflect them faster then light speed* one being a favorite), and the cut scene segment at the end that not only fit in and made perfect since...but that wonderful touch at the end where the designers let you kill Xemnas yourself. That part sent me over the top. Some may have thought that part patronizing ("After all that awesomeness, I only get to do a single keyblade strike to kill him? Lame!"), but I loved that unlike so many other story- and cut scene-heavy games, the designers showed respect for the player by letting us have the final blow. In fact, I look at it as the designers including us *in* that cutscene from before, similar to the end of Earth Bound where Paula asks the player for help directly with killing the boss. Maybe they weren't thinking of it in this way, but it sure feels that way to me. Like the designers were saying "Yes, Sora is a complete badass now and may be powerful enough to kill Xemnas on his own now, but he could never have gotten here without *your* help. You're both part of a team, each requiring the other, and so although Sora will do a bunch of really cool stuff to open him up, we're letting you and Sora take him out together". Sends chills up my spine just to think about it.
Here's an interesting contrast between 1 and 2: In 1, "Ansem" Seeker of Darkness starts out by taking on the trio himself with his heartless stand, when that doesn't work, he stalls for time summoning the titan heartless Darkside, then separates Sora from his friends. When even that fails, he pulls out all the stops by merging with the battleship sized heartless for the final showdown. In 2: Xemnas initializes his assault with his own battleship-style mechanical nobody dragon, but when that's destroyed, it's just Riku, Sora, and no-one, surrounded by a room of void, that's all.
I've proudly been a pacifist for my whole life, but whenever I hear this awesome song, it's simply impossible not to think that anger and hate are supreme...
Many songs may make.you feel the same way. But this one might actually make you say it out loud in the deepest voice you can pull of😂. I know I do at least.
Hate is never supreme; anger is powerful, but not all anger is evil, either. The important thing is to control it rather than letting it control you. Anger at injustice or anger at that which causes harm so you can protect those who would otherwise suffer from it aren't evil. That is, anger based on love or hope isn't something to run from, as long as one remembers to control it instead of be controlled by it, and only at need.
I like how the final Xemnas music not an intense finale, but rather captures the feeling of tragedy as all the pain and destruction Xehanort has caused is coming out in the final struggle.
Adrian Powery Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix is coming with KH2 Final Mix, Birth By Sleep Final Mix, and re:Coded. The lattermost is cutscenes as 358/2 Days was for 1.5 ReMix. Due in 2014 for the PS3.
Due to the superior hardware capabilities of the next gen systems allowing for more A.I. on-screen, I'm looking forward to all of the keyblade users squaring off against the entirety of Organization XII with Xehanort.
+Nepgear “Michael” Planeptune I had a lot of trouble with him just to beat the game on proud mode since on the 2.5 remix he is bugged and the beginning part where you spam triangle to dodge a series of attacks doesn't always work...so frustrating
Although the difficulty of the boss fight was a little mediocre, the progression was freaking brilliant. Initially you think the fight is over, but then things start heating up when you're separated from your friends. Its builds up the intensity, the music is chaotic, and you fly through space as you fight this big ugly monster. And then, at the climax, you fight Xemnas man to man. No big fancy weapons, no final forms, no epic flying, and no allies (except Riku I guess). Had it not been for Yoko Shimomura's brilliant composition, this fight would have been lackluster. Instead, it's one of my favorites of all time.
Personally I loved the fact that the final fight was a normal ground fight with only a couple of fitting gimmicks - WAY better than awkwardly flying around in the first game’s final fight
The hype surrounding this fight I don’t think can ever match up, not even kh3’s final boss in both remind and the base game can. You can argue yes too many phases sure, but that’s what made the final phase that much cooler. Not to mention the music is the icing on the cake 👌
Far more epic than the final battle of KH3. I went into this thinking this was the end of the entire series while KH3 was one big trailer for KH4 or whatever the spinoffs are going to be.
@@nicogalax the only thing kingdom hearts three had going for it was graphics. as far as i am concerned kingdom hearts 2 is where it ended. a well fought victory for our heros that ended with sora accomplishing everything he had set out to do from the beginning. he reunited with both kairi and riku and returned to the islands together with them. THE END.
I can't be the only one who didn't know you were suppose to press "X" and triangle when blocking all those lasers haha I died so many times the first time I fought him cause of that
When I was a kid, I just assumed you needed a certain amount of HP at that point. I didn't figure out that I was supposed to press X as well until I replayed it years later.
Not Bloodborne, not FF16, not Elden Ring, not a single Action RPG released before or after KH2 has EVER surpassed the absolute insanity that is this boss fight
This music is such a masterpiece I can't even fathom the words to describe how wonderful everything is and how well arranged this all is, Yoko Shimomura (an incredible lady as I had the chance to meet her a few years ago in Paris) truly is a Maestro
4:57 dude, those 10 seconds of violin (?) Are so damn powerful to me, it conveys me of melancholy and sadness, yet I feel complete like I'm letting my inner darkness in and with that even if it's sad it'd making me whole, bringing ballance to my broken and confused heart. There are very few songs capable of that, only this one and Guts theme from berserk 97 comes to mind honestly
The last movement quotes “Forze del male”, changing the last note to give it a degree of finality. It happens in the choir part after the key change in the middle.
all KH2 needed to really make the game even better would be a 1000 nobody fight after fighting Xemnas. imagine you have one round with all heartless in the mid-game then in the end game another battle with only nobodies. and have the background slowly go from pure white to black as shadowy tendrils appear to go in and out of the white area in a 3d way you see as you move around. God i love this series so much, so many fun memories and the story is great once you sit down and go through it. the combat in KH2 is still one of the most satisfying entries in the series. the music was top tier and for a ps2 game it was one that blew my child mind and still gives me endless joy as an adult.
Is it just me or was Xemnas way cooler than Ansem, Seeker of Darkness? Ansem was just kinda like "BLEH I'M EVIL DARKNESS IS THE HEARTS DARKNESS LIGHTNESS THE DARK HEARTNESS", and to be fair Xemnas was too, but Xemnas was more interesting because he had this totally blank facade that he didn't care about anything and he had no emotions. He had more dimension to him by being flat than Ansem did, because he deviated from the traditional bad guy norm of being super emotional and became all distant and dramatic and disturbed instead. Well, I thought it was cool anyways. Good song.
+Rasamatazz It's because Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (Heartless of Xehanort) inherited the conflicting heart of both Terra and Xehanort that turned dark when the amnesiac Terranort (the Xehanort that claims the name 'Ansem') was corrupted with darkness, splitting himself into a Heartless and Nobody. This Heartless (Ansem) possesses the darkened heart of Terranort, thus inheriting the emotional traits, powers (such as the Guardian), evil purposes and will of the original Xehanort, to obtain Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas on the other hand is literally the empty husk of Terra, whose heart has been won over by Master Xehanort. How Xemnas managed to gain new powers such as summoning Ethereal Blades out of his palms is still a mystery to me, but Xemnas often comes to visit the Chamber of Repose to see his "old friend" (Aqua), gaining memories of her and what he was like when he was still Terra by conversing with the armor of Aqua. He inherited no emotions, only memories that drive him. Which is why Xemnas is the 'no-bullshit' variant of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
+Reactor Ray During the internal fight against Master Xehanort to regain control of his body, Terra's heart lost and his will's forced to retreat to his Keyblade Armor (which would later be known as the Lingering Will). That means Terra hasn't lost his heart and will, sustaining his existence by using the Keyblade Armor as his vessel (this may have to do with his control over Darkness as well, being able to use a vessel). After Master Xehanort won Terra's body, he replaced Terra's heart with his own, completely turning Terra's body to be under his own control (thus 'Terranort', possessing some traits the original Xehanort had). Losing his memories after the fight with Master Aqua, 'Xehanort' worked with Ansem the Wise in their research to learn more about hearts, but he delved too deep in darkness, became obsessed with Ansem's research, and was split into two: Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (Xehanort's corrupted heart in physical form) Xemnas (Terra's body, possessing a fragment of Xehanort's will)
Rebel Hunter Yeah but if Ansem was Xehanort's darkness and Xemnas was Terra's body. Wouldn't Xehanort still have a nobody running around with his original body.
I love this theme so much I listen to kingdom hearts music all the time this music is beautiful I cant explain it or put this into words but it does something for me. Now I must go time to play Kingdom Hearts Xemnas I will put an end to your evil ways!
The melodic piano along with the organ really makes this the musical version of a sad, rainy afternoon in those calmer moments of the song. Truly a good example of musical emptiness. One of my favorite arrangements by Ms. Shimomura for sure
"If light and darkness are eternal, surely we nothings are the same! Eternal! *bad ass evil villain laugh* No more eternal than that radiance of yours".... Xemnas has the perfect voice and is a such a bad ass
Kingdom Hearts II is still the best in the series for me. And part of that is the satisfying final boss battle/theme that really felt like it was the true final battle. There is true finality felt from this battle. Had the series ended here I would have been satisfied.
rip triangle button
lol true shit i replayed this the other day since im soool hyped that kh3 is coming this year
+MrBanditheart xD
loooool
+MrBanditheart No rip triangle and X buttion
+The knowledge seeker Yeah... people always mention the triangle button but not the X button :( give that X button more attention!
Honestly I never gave "We shall Go together" much thought before....
But what a loaded gun of a line.
Xemnas knows he will never have Kingdom Hearts, ergo his heart at this point. He's given up on trying. Just a look at the environment of the Final battle... It's just a white void. He know he has no way of getting out of there. It's the literal end of the line. He has accepted his fate, but refuses to go down without Sora and Riku. They prevented him from achieving his goal of only wanting a heart. He just wanted to be whole again. His final wish is revenge.
The thing is, he doesn't get a choice in accepting his fate. He is a nobody, he has no heart, no emotion, therefore he has no way of rejecting or accepting his fate. He has no care, because he cannot care.
The real Ironic Kicker?
He does have a heart.
Never thought of it like that. Makes the battle so much more dramatic. Nice.
The sad thing is that this gave him a great motive and you could feel bad for him as well but then DDD came along and rewrote his entire character by making him a boring darkness hungry dumbass who lied to his fellow organization so he could create 13 darknesses/ Xehanorts / Whatevers. I'll never get over DDD (and KH3)'s horrible writing.
@@MsDapsy I agree that DDD's writing ruined his character, and probably was the worst written KH game, but I give KH3 some slack, since it's writing is just the product of where DDD took the series.
Sounds like Xemnas needs a trip through the wonderful world of Oz.
@@DukeofGames50 Exactly.
I read the title as "Vs. Final Exams"... My brain is melting.
HOLY SHIT XEMNAS = MANSEX= EXAMSN YES I KNOW THERES NO N IN EXAMS BUT FUCK IT
figureLP09 Nooooooo.....
yes
figureLP09 Surprisingly the theme fits that scenario too
figureLP09 lol years ago i had the same i thought it was exams i was like"exams?we doing that now?"
In my OPINION he's the coolest looking Xehanort.
Are you mad! Master Xeahnort/ No Heart was the best one yet! He was more calculated and evil and it matched his appearence! and his armour was badass
British Tea Wasn't No Heart just a data simulation of Master Xehanort in is keyblade armor? Besides i think Xemnas wore it better because of the giant badass throne thing, but then again Xehanort did get off his ass and stand up for the fight.
Narjoa Andre The No Heart fight was kinda a what if Xemnas got off his throne to fight Sora and Riku? Kinda thing.
Spoilers:all villians are xehanort
how about terra xehanort and the gaurdian
and master xehanort himself
The fight with Xemnas in KH2 was one of the most satisfying final bosses EVER. Not the hardest, but it was very cinematic and had a ton of atmosphere. The music just boosted the atmosphere to euphoric levels, while the gameplay with those reaction commands made the fighting so realistic. And Xemnas's huge variety of one-liners made the battle it self FEEL so much more epic. And what solidified this fight was that climatic one-liner: "there's no such thing as light... ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha" followed up by a brutal beat-down. My ONLY complaint would be... why couldn't we fight all of those Nobodies at the end? THAT would have been the icing on an already well baked cake.
That is actually the case in the Final mix. You fight them.
***** I have Final Mix, no you don't fight them.
***** I think ***** is refering to Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix+. All the Organization XIII members (1-13) are available as optional Boss Battles & Instead of the Cutscene that takes place in the Dark City are of the World that never was where Sora fought Roxas at the Station of Awakening, theres A boss Battle between you & Roxas. They Have Terra from Birth By Sleep as another Optional Boss, but let's not get into that. Terra's supposed to have a higher difficulty than Sephiroth. (._.)
***** That wasn't the point of the original post, difficulty was not the thing that made him like this boss.
xXDarkFoxOx That is the one I have, there isn't a Final Mix without the +. I just didn't add it since it was shorter and I'm lazy.
"We shall go together"
Gael Halazany Nah, that's not Xehanort's rape face. The front cover of KH 2.5, THAT'S his rape face.
Vance Stone Begone!
...Like Peanut butter n Jelly
Bind
I have always thought that he said you shall go together as in sora and riku
4:19 that transition just... always hits the fucking soul... that somber piano, the melancholy sway of the chorus.. fucking yoko shimomura. what a woman
Only one piano that rises above this one when it comes to final boss themes.
Soul of Cinder
@@DukeofGames50 no. Dark souls is ass.
It well describes the very essence of Xemnas. The melancholy of emptiness.
@@johnpantag472 what district of Clown Town did you roll your ass in from?
Every.
Single.
Time.
I wish there could be a whole song of that - I get it would lose the potency if it WAS a whole song of just that, but it just drives straight to the soul.
"Get ready to spam the f*ck out of triangle."
LOL someone remembered the quick time event ;)
Triangle and circle is more easy still

Lord the chills💯
Actually love listening the song and hearing him say those in my head
❤
Xemnas has an absolutely horrifying one-liner in this fight that doesn't even play in some of the ports of this game. This dude is the master of nothingness itself and, in a void containing only Sora, Riku, and himself, he looks them dead in the face and says "There's no such thing as light." and the world goes black around them. I can't think of many more terrifying concepts for a character to face.
Xemnas is a great villain and he has a great design too
@@matthewbuckley7757
Too bad he got sidelined as a jobber in the later titles.
@@alt0799 Yeah
ok but then he shoots a bunch of lasers at you, which sort of undercuts that
@@OyVeey I think I would put Xemnas as one of my favorite video game villains along with Dr. Nefarious, Ganondorf, Ridley, King K Rool, And Gruntilda.

This song really shouts out "It's now or never."
Insanely cool.
Damn straight
true..also also when u play ad riku
In my 20s, FINALLY played this 2 years ago, and this whole final boss sequence blew me the HELL away, to the tune of how AWESOME things were as a kid. A gift to still have moments like those!!!!!
It's the ultimate battle. No game has come close to being on par with this.

"Oh hells I have to fight bahamut Zero"
It is no match for my triangle button

Without a doubt, one of the greatest final bosses EVER.
@Overbite bruh the you mean the dragon shooting phase? Thats the worst one
@@hellothere4380 what do you mean, that part was so epic and easy, the worst final phase is ansem and his stupid boat phase, it is epic but I hate the glide controls of the final boss, I would be dead on proud mode if I wasn't max level.
@@naoaquieopatrickpatrick8565 no i meant that it is the worst phase from the final boss of kh2, its still way better than the kh1 ansem's final phase. (Im not trying to hate on the xemnas battle btw its literally my favourite boss from any game i've played.)
@@hellothere4380 oh I get what you mean now, my bad then.
Agreed
“Xemnas…There is more to a heart than anger and hate, it’s full of all kinds of emotions…Don’t you remember?”
“Unfortunately…I don’t”.
(Man, those words will never get old for me, goosebumps every time. Just the genuine question from Sora and the clear sadness Xemnas has on his face when he answers. Out of all the villains I have battled in KH or any game franchise, Xemnas will always be my favourite, he’s the only version of Xehanort that I actually felt a connection with and therefore mixed feelings when I finally took him down)
Facts, and I feel even more bad for him in KH3 when at the end, he regrets what he did to his “companions” as he called them. About how he felt lonely after all was said and done, and then after he lowkey commended Sora and co. for their “incredible strength” in dealing with the downsides of having a heart and emotions. Truly a legendary character for me! He’s my favorite version of Xehanort too. His voice actor really helps make him pop, also.
I remember them ever since the first time I heard them in the game. They're somewhat catchy and powerfull.
Someone needs to make a GIF of the "trapped in darkness surrounded by 7,000,000 laser beams while deflecting every single one of them by spamming X and triangle" event.
+Gigabic omg i think i have that somewhere
he still hasn't thanked you, so i'll do it instead. thanks.
Take Care was better.
can you do an updated link because it says localhost refused to make contact
Or a 10 hour version
He's by far the best boss in the series. Those reactions commands and split scenes made the battle so much more epic than 3's conclusion
This just makes me want to rank every boss in the series
he attacked me from out of bounds, his hitbox was behind the invisible wall. so long as kingdom hearts 3 doesnt have that its immediately better
@@werevin649 Then you glide at the Coliseum in 3 and run into like 50 invisible walls everywhere lol it definitely has that, more so than any of the other games.
regular pat already did@@trickmaster5632
Xemnas is a broken villain, not an evil one
I just love the feeling of progression you get through the game.
Towards the beginning, when Sora first wakes up, you're overwhelmed by a group of relatively weak nobodies and have to be saved by Mickey.
Towards the middle, you take down an entire army of 1000+ heartless (I say + because of the leadup where you team up with the FF characters), and though you win and destroy all of them, Sora's has to take a moment to catch his breath, because it was monumental and exhausting.
By the end, Xemnas is throwing skyscrapers at Sora, and you nonchalantly cut them down on the way to his dragon thing, then jump off the rubble to get to the reactors.
and then kh3 happens and sora becomes a joke
@@commenteroftruth9790
Yup.
Part of the reason I hate KH3.
And I tempered my expectations for it, too.
I still expected it to have the responsive combat of KH2, and then we got that slow hoverboard-ass combat at launch.
@@yourcollegedebt8384 I would have been fine with the combat if it had continued expanding on drive forms and magic. Instead it dumbed stuff down and removed fun mechanics
@@commenteroftruth9790 you kidding? Sora is arguably at his most OP state in that game
@@BigBoy257 In kingdom hearts 3? He literally has nothing powerful. Amusement park rides and basic magic seem his most op to you?
Okay guess reaction commands (sora ultra instinct), drive forms (enhanced power to a severe degree, with the most basic form having the ability to wield 2 keyblades), more varied magic, trinity, special abilities.
But yes, amusement park ride 3-4 magic sora is much stronger than that. are you going to pull some kind of brainlet logic and mention his thematic based abilities which literally have no gameplay aspects? "Hurr durr this sora travel back into hearts he much stronker". Or maybe its because this one "beat" the X squad. There literally shouldnt be any debate on this unless your head is hollow.
I love that the music for the final phase isn't super climactic and triumphant, but rather this melancholy rendition of the fight before. There's less action than in the Xemnas fights before, and I feel like contrasting the music like that is GENIUS
The decision to slow the song all the way down for the final phase is actually genius. Most people would expect the last phase to be the first, the second to be the last, and the first to be second, but the way it’s done is perfect.
@@fissilewhistle true yoo
It just oozes with this feeling desperate emptiness. You’re not even somewhere that could be considered real, just some void of spiraling shapes. No time to think about what to do next or whats gonna happen when this is over, just a frantic fight against a bitter husk making one last desperate assault out of vengeance
Less action, but more difficulty.
Less action? Sora and Riku spend half the fight barely saving each other from his brutal, lightning fast attacks.
"Anger and hate, are supreme"
Easily my favorite final boss ever.

FEAR MY ZEBRA COAT AND LASER BREADSTICKS!! >:D

Moving on...As for this..."Zebra Coat." I daresay... I make it work.
Man, Xemnas really felt like a tragic villain in 2. Before all the Xehanort vessel shenanigans that DDD introduced, you could really feel for him and the other Nobodies. He didn't wanna plunge the world's into darkness, he just wanted to become whole and regain a heart. The entire last phase feels like a desperate attempt from him to prove his existence, like he accepts his fate of disappearing, but wants to leave a mark on the world by destroying Sora and Riku. Honestly speaking I really do feel like if you take the first 3 games as their own trilogy, Xemnas is the perfect villain to cap them off on. Obviously Nomura had more in mind than the first 3 entries, but I'd be lying if I said Xemnas wasn't the perfect conclusion to everything that had been building up to that point
Agree, even though his death in KH3 still hit hard.
His whole speech about prefering not to have a heart because he didn't want to suffer was extremely sad.
Reading how many people love this fight, the music, and the visual design honestly makes me emotional. The fact that we can all bond over our mutual love for this game and bask in the nostalgia makes my inner child happy.
Thats the best part of the internet
"If light and darkness are eternal, then surely we nothings must be the same. Eternal"
EeeeeetEeeerrrrnAaaaaaLll. Gotta remember how slow xemnas talks, lol
I wonder how many people weren't aware you were supposed to spam Triangle *and* X.
Me, the first time I played it. I just hit triangle and Sora nearly got bodied.
@@spritefroggy bro i didnt realize until final mix came to ps4
I didn't know when I got it for ps3 lol so when my mate said y ant u hitting x sora is dying I didn't know till sora died lol xD
I got so mad after finding out about that and it wasn't just mash triangle when 99% of this game's QTEs was just pressing triangle. And i had him on only a sliver of hp when i got to that segment of the fight.
2:19 I still love that they would reuse part of this melody for Terra's theme. Brilliant since this is the form of Xehanort closest to Terra without outright being his possessed body. When you think about it, his constant proclamations of the power of anger, hate and rage are fitting since some of Terra's most prominent moments in Birth By Sleep were fueled by such hostile emotions. Even his lust for the power of Kingdom Hearts has very slight similarities to Terra who desired power though his ultimate goal was to protect his friends. Meanwhile Xemnas was too heartless to see his fellow Organization members as anything more than pawns... Then again in Kingdom Hearts III, Xemnas dies regretting the mistreatment of his allies and how lonely their absence makes him feel so he may be even more like Terra than we thought.
this is a very interesting comment and i think everyone can agree that at this point, xemnas is the only xehanort form to resemble terra, which is ironic cause terranort is all xehanort with only his body resembling terra. xemnas, feel nothing but anger and hate, which something terra felt in his last moments fighting xehanort. i dont really think the original xehanort has that much rage and anger, only twisted delusion and insanity. that and xemnas always trying to find ventus and often speaking to aqua's armor, plus the loneliness he felt in kh3, just prove that xemnas is the most similar to terra
Xemnas is a blend of Xehanort and Terra, like how Roxas is a blend of Ven and Sora. He's mostly Xehanort, but there's some Terra in there too, creating a unique consciousness that's not quite Xehanort.
Anger isn't an inherently negative emotion - one can be angry at injustice or angry at an innocent coming to harm. The trick is not to be consumed by anger. Rage is just a twist on that.
Hate is more complicated. While we can say hating evil things is probably good, the problem with hate is the mindless adherence it brings, and that if you define something as worthy of hating, you have to be damned sure it IS, as if it IS NOT, you've just given yourself license to be evil to a thing that is not evil. Hate clouds judgements and makes it easy to be vile. Even if a thing is evil, one should not be consumed by hatred for it. When you look long into the abyss, the abyss looks back into you, and through you...
one of the best final bosses in video game history. the whole fight, start to finish is a cinematic experience.
Has anyone else realized that Xemnas' theme and Terra's theme are extremely similar?
I cant take these feels.
Xehanort stole Terra's body so he could live on. Later on, Xehanort began to steal Ansem the Wise's research, claiming he was Ansem himself. And when Xehanort became a heartless, his Nobody took the name of Ansem, later changing his name by switching up the letters and placing the trademark "X" into his name. X emAns. So Xemnas, in a way, IS Terra.
@@TheDarkWarrior137
Terra's body Xehanort's mind.
Yeah but look at how it ended now. Terra got revenge in the end
That wasn't a coincidence. Just like how Sora's theme contains similarities to Ventus's theme.
@@jesusiscool21 Terra didn't do much other than take his own body back. He and Riku should've been with Sora, Donald and Goofy in the final battle with Master Xehanort.

Xemnas claims he can't feel emotion, yet says anger and hate are supreme. Make up your mind.
I know KH3D reveals that he's bullshitting on the "Nobodies can't feel" thing, but still.
Also don't forget that the two strongest emotions Terra felt before "dying" were anger over his failure and pure unadulterated hatred for Xehanort.
On the KH wiki on Xemnas it says he can't feel any emotion but anger and he uses that anger for power.

Tarou Myaki He's referencing Sora and Riku's ongoing resistance, and that he's going to wipe it out of existence.

I think he may actually have been referring to Kairi
It's sadden that KH3 got rid of Reaction commands, Final Fantasy Characters, and proper story pacing....KH2 will forever be the best Kingdom Hearts Game along with BBS and 1. Greatest video game I played.
Wholeheartedly agree. Only reason I can explain the drop in quality is the Osaka team taking a lead in the gameplay design and story(they didn’t learn after BBS and DDD...?) and Nomura still sour about FFXIII Versus not coming to fruition
@@Memroh I spent 90$ on that game and expected a Game of Year contender...aside from gameplay and visuals it just wasnt a good kh game just a good game.

I love this reaction sequence if you time it right you can attack him in between his combo while dodging. Felt like a kickass dragonball z fighters.
For a moment, it's the summer of 2006, and I'm at my cousin's house playing video games after going for a swim in his pool
The part where you have to deflect the lasers was the hardest but the after scene where sora uses Rikus blade was PURE AWESOMENESS
The final battle, like literally the final part in that white void against Xemnas...chills, man.
Chills.
So at my school, I saw that the guy behind me was reading the Kingdom Hearts manga. I asked him if he plays the games and he said yes.
Faith in humanity restored.
The same thing happened to me I read two mangas of kingdom hearts 2 (I wasn't a fan of it I just picked it up cause I was intrested) but now kingdom hearts is one of my favorite game series of all time and I'm a huge fan of roxas and I'm pre ordering 2.5 and played dream drop distance.

WAIT WOT?
EWW
dude kh is a fairly popular series, it's no big surprise
i am the only one if my class you plays kh and old games like Nes-Ps2
Maybe at your class but the world goddamn i love it:D
I loved everything about this fight. In fact, I think it might be my favorite RPG battle of all time. The frantic pace of the actual combat, the sweat that it took to beat, the *set-piece* battle segment change-ups that fit in perfectly (the *surrounded with lasers have to deflect them faster then light speed* one being a favorite), and the cut scene segment at the end that not only fit in and made perfect since...but that wonderful touch at the end where the designers let you kill Xemnas yourself. That part sent me over the top.
Some may have thought that part patronizing ("After all that awesomeness, I only get to do a single keyblade strike to kill him? Lame!"), but I loved that unlike so many other story- and cut scene-heavy games, the designers showed respect for the player by letting us have the final blow.
In fact, I look at it as the designers including us *in* that cutscene from before, similar to the end of Earth Bound where Paula asks the player for help directly with killing the boss. Maybe they weren't thinking of it in this way, but it sure feels that way to me. Like the designers were saying "Yes, Sora is a complete badass now and may be powerful enough to kill Xemnas on his own now, but he could never have gotten here without *your* help. You're both part of a team, each requiring the other, and so although Sora will do a bunch of really cool stuff to open him up, we're letting you and Sora take him out together". Sends chills up my spine just to think about it.
And then Riku steals your kill before you can get to him.
Nothing compares to using one final trinity limit just to style on him.
Bonus when it comes to his data fight
Still my favorite game. The whole story could’ve ended with this game and I’d be content
💸💸💸💸
I agree 100%
Jep. Kh2 was the climax of the game.
I guess but it's clearly much more story to tell.
@@JayboCorp.2014 It went to pure shit though unfortunately
Here's an interesting contrast between 1 and 2:
In 1, "Ansem" Seeker of Darkness starts out by taking on the trio himself with his heartless stand, when that doesn't work, he stalls for time summoning the titan heartless Darkside, then separates Sora from his friends. When even that fails, he pulls out all the stops by merging with the battleship sized heartless for the final showdown.
In 2: Xemnas initializes his assault with his own battleship-style mechanical nobody dragon, but when that's destroyed, it's just Riku, Sora, and no-one, surrounded by a room of void, that's all.
I've proudly been a pacifist for my whole life, but whenever I hear this awesome song, it's simply impossible not to think that anger and hate are supreme...
Many songs may make.you feel the same way. But this one might actually make you say it out loud in the deepest voice you can pull of😂. I know I do at least.
just remember that nothingness...
is...
eee-terrr-nullll...
Lmfao
Hate is never supreme; anger is powerful, but not all anger is evil, either. The important thing is to control it rather than letting it control you. Anger at injustice or anger at that which causes harm so you can protect those who would otherwise suffer from it aren't evil. That is, anger based on love or hope isn't something to run from, as long as one remembers to control it instead of be controlled by it, and only at need.

I like how the final Xemnas music not an intense finale, but rather captures the feeling of tragedy as all the pain and destruction Xehanort has caused is coming out in the final struggle.
This final battle had made the game for me. I hope KH3 has a lengthy with multiple phases and loads of cutscenes final battle as well.
Imagine if KH3 came with Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix, as highly unlikely as it may be.
Adrian Powery Kingdom Hearts 2.5 ReMix is coming with KH2 Final Mix, Birth By Sleep Final Mix, and re:Coded. The lattermost is cutscenes as 358/2 Days was for 1.5 ReMix. Due in 2014 for the PS3.
Due to the superior hardware capabilities of the next gen systems allowing for more A.I. on-screen, I'm looking forward to all of the keyblade users squaring off against the entirety of Organization XII with Xehanort.
There is so much potential for KH3.. please pleaseee don't screw up this game square enix

Forget the music
Im here for that sweet sweet xemnas png from google
Although the difficulty of the boss fight was a little mediocre, the progression was freaking brilliant. Initially you think the fight is over, but then things start heating up when you're separated from your friends. Its builds up the intensity, the music is chaotic, and you fly through space as you fight this big ugly monster. And then, at the climax, you fight Xemnas man to man. No big fancy weapons, no final forms, no epic flying, and no allies (except Riku I guess). Had it not been for Yoko Shimomura's brilliant composition, this fight would have been lackluster. Instead, it's one of my favorites of all time.
Eh, the end fight is legitimately challenging. But I agree all the phases before it are chump change. It's kinda psyching you up though.
That’s not true the whole fight is good on it’s own .yes Shinomura’s music elevates that but that doesn’t mean that the fight is bad on it’s own
Personally I loved the fact that the final fight was a normal ground fight with only a couple of fitting gimmicks - WAY better than awkwardly flying around in the first game’s final fight
Anger and hate are soup cream

The hype surrounding this fight I don’t think can ever match up, not even kh3’s final boss in both remind and the base game can. You can argue yes too many phases sure, but that’s what made the final phase that much cooler. Not to mention the music is the icing on the cake 👌
Far more epic than the final battle of KH3. I went into this thinking this was the end of the entire series while KH3 was one big trailer for KH4 or whatever the spinoffs are going to be.
Kh3 remind tho was more epic than this tho....the feathers with the memories of both Sora and Kairi 10/10
@@nicogalax the only thing kingdom hearts three had going for it was graphics. as far as i am concerned kingdom hearts 2 is where it ended. a well fought victory for our heros that ended with sora accomplishing everything he had set out to do from the beginning. he reunited with both kairi and riku and returned to the islands together with them. THE END.
I can't be the only one who didn't know you were suppose to press "X" and triangle when blocking all those lasers haha I died so many times the first time I fought him cause of that
+Santos Gonzales When I replayed about a year ago I just then figured it out. It made it a breeze.
before i knew you had to press X i used the triangle button with 2 hands xD
Same man
When I was a kid, I just assumed you needed a certain amount of HP at that point. I didn't figure out that I was supposed to press X as well until I replayed it years later.
Everything about this video is a time capsule and I hope it's protected forever.
Not Bloodborne, not FF16, not Elden Ring, not a single Action RPG released before or after KH2 has EVER surpassed the absolute insanity that is this boss fight
The triangle laser spam😭
This music is such a masterpiece I can't even fathom the words to describe how wonderful everything is and how well arranged this all is, Yoko Shimomura (an incredible lady as I had the chance to meet her a few years ago in Paris) truly is a Maestro
Basil Paledouris is probably my all-time favorite modern composer, along with Jerry Goldsmith however. May they R.I.P.
"We shall go together" *Starts mashing triangle*
4:57 dude, those 10 seconds of violin (?) Are so damn powerful to me, it conveys me of melancholy and sadness, yet I feel complete like I'm letting my inner darkness in and with that even if it's sad it'd making me whole, bringing ballance to my broken and confused heart. There are very few songs capable of that, only this one and Guts theme from berserk 97 comes to mind honestly
Xemnas was hands down the best villain in the Kingdom Hearts series.
Sora, are you sure you can trust Riku. Riku, are you sure you are not jealous of sora. Embrace....nothing...
I didn't know he said that
This video has the coolest description ever
We've all been chasing this high since KH2 came out.
One of the best KH soundtracks hands down
Xemnas "Can you spare... a heart?"
Me: "No I need mine to live! But can't you Go to a hospital & get one from a donor?"
I believe that this fight broke the world record for the most button mashing in any game.
Lol, poor xemnas
The last movement quotes “Forze del male”, changing the last note to give it a degree of finality. It happens in the choir part after the key change in the middle.
This is the best version imo. Absolute peak of midi sound and PS2 music limitations.
Just beat this game. Loved it. So excited to keep playing this series.
"Embrace nothingness..."
all KH2 needed to really make the game even better would be a 1000 nobody fight after fighting Xemnas. imagine you have one round with all heartless in the mid-game then in the end game another battle with only nobodies. and have the background slowly go from pure white to black as shadowy tendrils appear to go in and out of the white area in a 3d way you see as you move around. God i love this series so much, so many fun memories and the story is great once you sit down and go through it. the combat in KH2 is still one of the most satisfying entries in the series. the music was top tier and for a ps2 game it was one that blew my child mind and still gives me endless joy as an adult.
You can fight them in final mix
Xemnas without a doubt is one of the best Villains in Kingdom Hearts.
Yep.
@@Kira22558 And no other villain outside of the KH Franchise can top him.
@@emeraldphoenix5868 what about ansem?
@@Kira22558 I meant outside the Kingdom Hearts Franchise.
Meaning other Villains from different sources of Media.
4:19 It's amazing they managed to make such a tranquil song feel epic.
Is it just me or was Xemnas way cooler than Ansem, Seeker of Darkness? Ansem was just kinda like "BLEH I'M EVIL DARKNESS IS THE HEARTS DARKNESS LIGHTNESS THE DARK HEARTNESS", and to be fair Xemnas was too, but Xemnas was more interesting because he had this totally blank facade that he didn't care about anything and he had no emotions. He had more dimension to him by being flat than Ansem did, because he deviated from the traditional bad guy norm of being super emotional and became all distant and dramatic and disturbed instead.
Well, I thought it was cool anyways. Good song.
+Rasamatazz It's because Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (Heartless of Xehanort) inherited the conflicting heart of both Terra and Xehanort that turned dark when the amnesiac Terranort (the Xehanort that claims the name 'Ansem') was corrupted with darkness, splitting himself into a Heartless and Nobody.
This Heartless (Ansem) possesses the darkened heart of Terranort, thus inheriting the emotional traits, powers (such as the Guardian), evil purposes and will of the original Xehanort, to obtain Kingdom Hearts.
Xemnas on the other hand is literally the empty husk of Terra, whose heart has been won over by Master Xehanort. How Xemnas managed to gain new powers such as summoning Ethereal Blades out of his palms is still a mystery to me, but Xemnas often comes to visit the Chamber of Repose to see his "old friend" (Aqua), gaining memories of her and what he was like when he was still Terra by conversing with the armor of Aqua.
He inherited no emotions, only memories that drive him. Which is why Xemnas is the 'no-bullshit' variant of Ansem, Seeker of Darkness.
+Rebel Hunter I just realized but shouldn't Terranort have two nobodies?
+Reactor Ray During the internal fight against Master Xehanort to regain control of his body, Terra's heart lost and his will's forced to retreat to his Keyblade Armor (which would later be known as the Lingering Will). That means Terra hasn't lost his heart and will, sustaining his existence by using the Keyblade Armor as his vessel (this may have to do with his control over Darkness as well, being able to use a vessel).
After Master Xehanort won Terra's body, he replaced Terra's heart with his own, completely turning Terra's body to be under his own control (thus 'Terranort', possessing some traits the original Xehanort had).
Losing his memories after the fight with Master Aqua, 'Xehanort' worked with Ansem the Wise in their research to learn more about hearts, but he delved too deep in darkness, became obsessed with Ansem's research, and was split into two:
Ansem, Seeker of Darkness (Xehanort's corrupted heart in physical form)
Xemnas (Terra's body, possessing a fragment of Xehanort's will)
Rebel Hunter Yeah but if Ansem was Xehanort's darkness and Xemnas was Terra's body. Wouldn't Xehanort still have a nobody running around with his original body.
Rebel Hunter especially one with Terra's soul
Best final theme of KH, even better than KH3
no, it's the best final boss theme ever made, love u Yoko shinomura
Beating xemnas on Critical mode was so satisfying. One of the best final bosses ever
"Behold my Ultimate Attack! I shall break your X and Triangle Buttons so you can't attack or use Reaction Commands!"
One of the Best final boss Theme 👌
Imagine this remastered for 2.5!
I love this theme so much I listen to kingdom hearts music all the time this music is beautiful I cant explain it or put this into words but it does something for me. Now I must go time to play Kingdom Hearts Xemnas I will put an end to your evil ways!
One of the greatest battle themes of all times
The triangle and x spamming at the end was so badass it brings a tear to my eye
Anger and hate are SUPREME
And it makes a good Topping for a Pizza.
The melodic piano along with the organ really makes this the musical version of a sad, rainy afternoon in those calmer moments of the song. Truly a good example of musical emptiness. One of my favorite arrangements by Ms. Shimomura for sure
the track that made tearing this guy apart with your best friend the most climatic part of the game
"If light and darkness are eternal, surely we nothings are the same! Eternal!
*bad ass evil villain laugh* No more eternal than that radiance of yours"....
Xemnas has the perfect voice and is a such a bad ass
You blended all three of these together so well! Very nice!
This is the actual song. They were never three separate pieces. They were one song that was broken up for three different encounters.
Kingdom Hearts II is still the best in the series for me.
And part of that is the satisfying final boss battle/theme that really felt like it was the true final battle. There is true finality felt from this battle.
Had the series ended here I would have been satisfied.
I liked Xemnas the best, his voice was cool, but I also liked how he had this constant expression of sorrow almost. Befitting of a nobody.
