Kingdom Hearts Rumble

[Agent0042]

Ace, you're welcome to make any nomination you want, as long as it's Kingdom Hearts. I'll even take tunes from CoM, if that has some music anyone's interested in adding that I don't know about. Though I do question as to how many people would vote for a tune from Final Mix +, since so many have never played it.

[jammi567]

As another proposec nomination, i nominate 'The Encounter'. I cant believed that you missed it out - it's the best boss music in KHII!

As for where you can listen to songs from the game easily, Kingdom Hearts OST Soundtrack Mp3s - Blue Laguna's Media Archive and Kingdom Hearts II OST Soundtrack Mp3s - Blue Laguna's Media Archive should do the trick.

As for nominating between the current two, i vote for Sora.

[Agent0042]

Well, MP3 downloads are illegal, so I myself won't encourage anyone to go in that direction. Seriously, people, buy the soundtracks. I own both, and I'm happy to own both. They're excellent stuff.


The Encounter? Well, KHII has a lot of excellent boss battle themes. This one wasn't a particular favorite of mine, but sure, I'd be glad to accept it as a nomination!


Anyway, I knew I was going to forget some things, because KH has so much great music. I just realized I forgot another favorite of mine "Passion ~ Kingdom Orchestra Instrumental Version." I may have to go back and in that in too.


Thanks for all the votes far! Carry on!


Edit: Changes made. The English and Japanese versions of the theme tunes have been separated, and Passion ~ Kingdom Orchestra Instrumental Version has been added. The tunes that were eliminated to make room for these were Road to a Hero, Neverland Sky and Deep Drive. If anyone's very upset about the elimination of any of these, feel free to suggest them as nominations.

P.S.: As for the nominations, I will go through all of them after a certain point in this edition, and add the best / most demanded ones into the rumble. Oh, and feel free to second any nominations that have already been posted.

bustin up on the beach XD

Well I could put a video with the song I want to nominate, but it might be hard to hear. You could find a legal way to download it or something?? It's called The 13th Reflection

YouTube - Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix + Zexion Data Boss Fight

It'll probably hard to hear, but the song is in the background of the fight.

[qwertysaur]

I second the 13th reflection.

Here is a youtube video with only the music.

Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix + - The 13th Reflection

I'll nominate The 13th Struggle Re:CoM

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix + - The 13th Struggle Re:COM

You also forgot Naminé! I nominate it as well.

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix + - Naminé

[Agent0042]

Well, if you guys really want Final Mix + tunes in it, I'll keep them in mind. You should consider some of the tunes from the soundtracks too, though, since I really think people are in general far more familiar with them, and therefore far more likely to vote for them.


Anyway, the current battle (which, just in case anyone has lost track, is Bustin' Up on the Beach vs. Sora) ends in a few hours around the normal time, so if anyone else has a vote, make sure to get it in!

[Ace14]

If it's okay I'll nominate Sinister Sundown and Fragments of Sorrow from Kingdom Hearts 2 and I'll second the nomination for the song Namine.

Geeze I just noticed you missed a few of the songs I like, just wondering how many nominations can we make?

[Agent0042]

You may make as many nominations as you like (though from this point, I'm asking that you make them with your vote only), though I have only six open slots, so I'm certainly not accepting them all. But each will be very much considered, with seconded ones getting priority.


Results of the first battle:

Bustin' Up on the Beach - 3
Sora - 1


Not a huge turnout for the first battle, but "Bustin' Up" is the clear favorite here. It goes on to the second round. Next battle:


Friends in My Heart (Kingdom Hearts I and II) ("Now I know, I don't need a weapon. My friends are my strength." This tender tune plays at various points during both games in the series. It's somewhat shorter in KHII, but is still generally the same theme.)

vs.

Battleship Bravery (Kingdom Hearts II) (This is the intense Gummi Ship theme that plays along the route to Twilight Town that shows up towards the end of KHII. This theme plays as you fight the toughest Gummi Ship battles of the game.)

[Ace14]

Okay sounds good

I'll vote Battleship Bravery

[jammi567]

Battleship Bravery

[qwertysaur]

Those two are like opposites. I'll vote for Friends in My Heart

I'll also second Fragments of Sorrow, and would like to nominate Sinister Shadows

Kingdom Hearts Final Mix + - Sinister Shadows

[Agent0042]

All right, so that's going to be:

Friends in My Heart - 1
Battleship Bravery - 2


Only three votes for that one. Still, we have to continue onwards. Next up:

The 13th Struggle (Kingdom Hearts II) (The boss battle theme that generally plays during ights with Organization XIII members. An intense theme, sure to get the blood pulsing. Perfect for the fast-paced action of these battles.)

vs.


Savannah Pride (Kingdom Hearts II) (The theme that plays in the Pride Lands. A surprisingly strong location theme.)

[qwertysaur]

The 13th Struggle

[Ace14]

The 13th Struggle!!
