Witnessing KH3s title screen for the first time is something I'll never forget

“Losing someone you care about is bad, but not as bad as never getting them back.” — Sora to Aladdin Kingdom Hearts: Chain Of Memories I just thought it was important to remember… Never give up on people that are important to you.

KH2 Dearly Beloved is like gently being woken up by a shaded sunrise on the weekend after it stormed all night.

KH2’s version will always give me goosebumps.

Kh1: it's going to be okay, stand tall and take a deep breath. Kh2: come, take a break with me. You've done enough for now. Kh3: look at how far you've come, look at everything you've accomplished, you're almost to the finish line. Keep going I believe in you! This is how the main 3 dearly beloveds feels to me.

I used to leave the KH2 menu screen alone just to hear the music play back when i was a kiddo. Man i miss playing on my ps2 late at night.

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

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

Man i remember years ago when i was a kid and my mom died, i moved to my aunt and it was the first time i saw the commercial on tv for KH2. There was only one thing i wanted and it was this game. I probably spend months on this game before i got to play KH 1 xD i was obsessed with Kingdom Hearts, building a keyblade with lego, playing all the games and crying because of 385 days end xD mostly good times as a kid .. Life has been busy now. I think we sometimes need to release roxas out of our heart and relive the last summer. Before we became who we are now.

4:55 "Mickey... I really appreciate it. But...I'll go wake Sora up. Look at his face. Sleeping like nothing's wrong, like there's nothing to even worry about. He's always been like that. The three of us would agree to work on the raft, and then this guy would go take a nap on the beach. You see, it's my job to keep him on his toes. Besides, what kind of Keyblade Master sleeps through his test? I'm doing it for me, too. Sora saved me once. And... I heard him call my name. He needs me."

I love how melody of memory's one is just so jazzy I love it

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

"He was the only one I liked....The only one that made me feel...Like I had a heart. Just like you do." - Axel (got it memorized)

"Dearly Beloved" makes my eyes well up. Every single arrangement of this piece is so uniquely beautiful that I can call it nothing short of a masterpiece. Thank you Yoko Shimomura for the iconic music, and thank you Kimpchuu for putting them all together.

Everybody gangsta until Kingdom Hearts III and Chain of memories pull out the grand piano

As someone who has never played any Kingdom Hearts games, I love this. This is beautiful, and I am seriously considering getting into the series now. If this music can make me feel the way it does now, I can't even imagine what it will do to me if I'm properly emotionally invested in the story of these games.

KH2 will forever be my favorite Dearly Beloved. I feel so happy and sad at the same time.

KH3 Dearly Beloved is like waking up in the middle of spring after getting a full 8 hours of sleep and having birds fly away happily as you walk out the door to get a fresh whiff of the ocean breeze.

Birth By Sleep's rendition of Dearly Beloved is my absolute favorite! God, it makes me so emotional!
