More than anything else, this kind of communication with the ongoing development of these games is appreciated :)

I guess "Fate of the Unknown" being the basis for Terra and Aqua's themes is a pretty good example. But I'm kind of looking for "event/scenario" music--music that recontextualizes a narrative moment (not just character themes!)

Hello! Question: can you think of any examples in the KH series doing musical foreshadowing?

:))

so maybe this is old news, but the german word Flügel means "wing" in english, but it can also mean "grand piano," so Nachtflügel could be translated to "Night Wing," but it could also in a roundabout way be translated to "Grand Piano of the Night," which I think sounds cool as hell

The day is approaching...

Our next edition of the KINGDOM HEARTS Concert Soirée begins tomorrow, at 6 PM ET! Join us for a spectacular sonic showcase of musicians around the world, as they pay tribute to the music of Yoko Shimomura. Please enjoy this teaser!

Thank you to everyone who was able to hangout with me and Jay for the first episode of the Kingdom Hearts Character Files. I had a blast and am very excited for episode 2 on Axel

For those who missed it, we had an extra special guest make an appearance. Happy March Caprice!

suddenly remembering some cringe you did back in middle school

it does kind of feel like kh has gotten the short end of the stick lately, or that the series was a testing ground for different gamedev approaches that later get refined in sqex's favorite child. kh4 with the musical 7remake team would be a dream

now what can we do to get Mitsuto Suzuki doing cutscene music for this series too

shotaro shima is the best thing to happen to kh's music since yuko komiyama's work in 0.2 (is this a hot take)

It's kind of fun to compare the arrangement teams responsible for various worlds in KH3 -- which was your favorite world (musically)?

I expect this kind of distribution (separate field/battle/event arrangers) will probably continue in ML and KH4

kh news cycle, more like the power of waiting

Natsumi Kameoka is too cool man

Larxene constructing the Ice Labyrinth in ARENDELLE

Xehanort constructing the Graveyard Labyrinth in the KEYBLADE GRAVEYARD

If you're rly good at darkness, you can make mazes :^)

oh yeah^ I guess I consider that more like a narrative payoff instead of a reference, but it's true!

hahah, that's probably a fair point

And Sora's use of the Power of Waking as he flies toward the Light. I wonder if there are other obvious ones

The visual rhyme of Vanitas threatening to impale Aqua...

Other Retro Events include scenarios like the Lich encounter and DDD's Dive Mode...

The Raging Vulture heartless from The Caribbean plays KH2's "Vim and Vigor". A fine pick, right?

But seeing how frequently the game would rhyme scenarios from previous games -- I half expected a new arrangement of the battle theme from the "Ruler of the Sky" heartless from 358Days

Nah, no idea...

Here's a crackpot thought: the worlds in KH3 tend to have field/battle music by one person and boss music by another person. Maybe the devs thought a Shimomura track would help balance out the Ishimoto field/battle themes in Sanfran?

If this is true, it's wild to think there were music changes being made to the game just months before it released worldwide!

In the final game, Shimomura's "Eye of the Storm" (from Davy Jones) plays for this fight
