So I was turning eleven and my best friend got me Kingdom Hearts for my birthday. It was a new game everyone was talking about - Final Fantasy iconic characters teaming up with Disney princesses, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse and whatnot? I started playing it with my brother and two other friends, and it took us months to finish it. We cried and laughed and spent sleepless nights trying to go on with the story, making up theories, crafting gummiships and searching for those stupid Dalmatian pups scattered in the weirdest places. Once we finished it, it felt like we just went through the adventure of our lives. Now I'm 29, my best friend moved overseas, my brother isn't in this world anymore, and that other friend turned into a stranger. But no one is going to ever rob me of those memories.

So sorry to hear that. I've lost my share of loved ones to cancer, too. I try to think that at least they're not suffering anymore, it makes it easier to cope. Anyway, I hope you stay strong and find joy in the things you like until time does its thing.

[@mackerel6099]

I’m so sorry for your loss. One of the big themes of KH is that no matter what happens, we’ll all see each other again; Dearly Beloved embodies that idea and I hope it’s true 💛🗝️

It always infuriates me when people say video game music isn’t real music…and to that I say: listen to this and tell me this in some way doesn’t tug at your heart or make you feel any emotion as this…this right here is beautiful

[@roxelmillian7242]

How can you not hear this and not consider it music? Those people are crazy. I remember one of my best friends got me playing this game and the title theme always come to my mind as being really memorable. It starts of slow and sad and then crescendo into upbeat and lifts your spirit. And I get more feeling from this than any other music they play on the radio. Whenever I get down I remember the theme song and how things can seem sad and slow but you always have the future to lift yourself up and to keep going.

[@LightningSnake]

You can tell them that this is true music. It has emotions and memories within. What music, other than this, can evoke such feelings?

[@SNDmadeit]

Halo has some lovely epic music

[@tvnawmayn9320]

Clearly they've never heard an OST of any sort before!

[@WorldofIntenseArtie]

Yeah. It's a little irritating, then they find out those composers were great influenced by cinematic and classical composers. There is so much direct influence. A great way to shut those people down is by telling them how the composer was influenced by a specific classical composer. Trust me, it always works or the response you'll get is, "I didn't know that..." That's where you tell them, research is golden.

[@greggchaffin1596]

I remember making a solo hike up a trail once. There was not a single person on the trail that day. At the base, it started to pour and was extremely windy. I could’ve turned back, but I said to heck with it. Once I reached the top, ironically this song started playing on my AirPods. By then the storm had passed and the sun was starting to show again… my god was it an incredible feeling.

I wanna play these games for the first time again, I want to be a kid again, only worrying about how to beat Xemnas or how to find all of the chests. These games are inside my heart and will never be forgotten. These are the only games that can make my laugh and cry at the same time, I mean, it's just different. There is something in this game that makes everyone be a kid again. I remember very well, my brother got Kingdom Hearts II for his birthday but didn't play the one. I remember we were trying to understand what was going on, who was this Riku Sora was always talking about and when we both arrived at the end, we were just crying. Later, we buyed KH I, then we buyed the entire collection remastered on PS4, then we took KH III on the day of its release and, we were just kids again playing this masterpiece This game made who I am, these games are the only one I can play 3 times the main story in a row without getting bored. Today, it is the 2nd of 2022. Sora got in Smash, and all KH fans are waiting for the next KH game for the 20 years of the series but I don't care how many years it'll take, Square Enix, just make a game that makes me feel like a kid again. (Why did I wrote so much English isn't my principal language wtf)

[@viciousdelicious937]

I remember playing this game as a kid, with my best friend and my sister. English isn't our native language, so we had the dictionary open 24/7 right next to us.. I don't know why, but this game is deeply connected to me. It always reminds me how much fun we were having back then, considering that I had to move out and although that friend of mine is like a sister to me, we rarely talk. I didn't have the game myself, so I bought it (after years of trying) years later, for the ps2 (!!). And very recently I introduced it to my boyfriend, who liked it so much that he bought it for us for the PC to play it from the beginning. So now we have started the journey once again, together. I love this game. I love it and how it makes me feel!

[@nightthot7809]

Its been years since ive played kingdom hearts, I've never balled like a baby over music, but something about this song just brings back the simplicity and happiness of being a kid again.

When I was about 8 my little brother and I would raid our cousins room when we'd visit my grandmas house to play on his busted PS2 that would only work if you ejected the disk multiple times, sometimes it would take 10 plus ejects just to get the game to start. Since we couldn't really afford a console for our place, grandma's house was the only time we could play video games. I remember he showed us the disk for KH. I thought the main character looked so cool and the game looked so fun when he demoed it for us by fighting the rock giant in the colosseum. The scratched KH1 disk wouldn't let us start a new game so he introduced us to the sequel which wasn't as scratched and would let us play a new game. My little brother and I would play for hours over the summer when my parents would drop us off so they could go to work. I distinctly remember the dirty floor with this tiny room really only big enough for one person crammed with teenagers, my little brother and I, loose disks and wrappers littered the floor. When he'd let us play or when he was gone the game of choice was always KH2. I had to have beaten it hundreds of times, the story etched permanently into my brain. I remember I had a specific save that was right before Sephiroth so I could play the fight over and over. My cousin has a kid that's going into highschool now, my little brother just finished up his first year of college and I'm almost done with college altogether. The music in the KH games inspired me so much. I picked up the violin just so I could play KH and pokemon music in the 5th grade which led me to pick up the guitar in high school. I was Sora for multiple halloweens where I made my own keyblades and ripped apart shorts so I could model the halloween town outfit. I wouldn't be where I'm at today without these games and I hope that if I ever have kids I can share these games with them.

You know, I listen to this song a lot. And it’s for a lot of reason’s, I think about a simpler time in life, the memories, the game itself, and bc I like this version. But the MAIN reason I listen to this is because every time I close my eyes, I think of marrying someone to this song so much, her walking down the aisle and me just saying to myself “she is mine”. But I’ve come to the true reality that I might never get the opportunity to have that experience in my life. And to be honest I learned to accept that. So every once in a while I just listen and go in my head and just see, it’s so surreal and I start to kinda tear up about it. But yeah I like the song lol
