Greatest Battle Music of All Time: The 13th Anthology

[@Hunter-ue4id]

“Closely resembles Kingdom Hearts” This is literally what it is

[@jorgemathiasbenitezsaldiva8131]

What really resembles, at least the start, is the theme somnus of ffvsxiii

[@Loansome_]

I think they mean the album of Yoko Shimomura's Drammatica. It has Kingdom Hearts songs, along with Final Fantasy and others.

[@jorgemathiasbenitezsaldiva8131]

@Oli Ver thanks for the explanation, but it was just my idea

[@FeatherWings78]

It's basically Organization XIII

[@DemonOfLore]

"Closely resembles many songs from the Kingdom Hearts Series." That's because it IS from the Kingdom Hearts' series.

5:37 THAT LORD OF THE CASTLE EPIC REMIX OMG *ultimate eargasm + epic goosebump*

[@TurtleTime26]

0:00 to 1:02 --- Two opposing forces stand facing each other; one of light and one of darkness. The force of light offers an ultimatum: Surrender or face the consequences. The force of darkness simply draws his weapon, and the force of light draws his in turn, accepting this fate. 1:03 to 2:15 --- The pair begin their battle with a series of fast, yet powerful combos. The force of light is struck in the back, while the force of darkness is struck in the face a couple of times. All the while the force of darkness is enjoying this conflict. The force of light growls. 2:16 to 2:51 --- The battle style switches to primarily magic. The two conflict with spells from afar. Neither is struck, but their spells clash in bright flashes of color and heat. The force of darkness struggles to keep up with the light's powerful variety. 2:52 to 3:15 --- The magic is abandoned in favor of the more traditional fencing style. Their swords clash beautifully, yet neither is struck. The force of light is relieved for the short break from such draining techniques. 3:17 to 4:04 --- The duel becomes a struggle of brute force when the force of darkness tries to push their opponent off the edge of a cliff. The force of light holds them back for a while, but knows he cannot win this way, and ducks out as soon as he can. 4:05 to 5:14 --- Now knowing what the other's weaknesses are, the force of darkness begins using primarily brute force, while the force of light uses primarily magic. Both take mild scratches, bruises, and burns. 5:15 to 5:37 --- The force of light takes a critical hit to his leg and seems to be down for a moment, but with some effort stands back up and gets into a pose to continue fighting. The force of darkness smirks, thinking he has this battle in the bag. 5:38 to 6:09 --- A surge of adrenaline goes through the force of light, and he goes back against the force of darkness with strength like he's never had. He ends up knocking the force of darkness off the cliff with a blow that shatters the earth below. 6:10 to end --- The force of light goes down the cliff to observe as his opponent dies. "It didn't have to be this way, you know." "Yeah, I know." "We could have been friends. Partners." The force of darkness coughs up some blood and spits into the force of light's face. "Go to hell." The force of light sighs. "Will do."

Look up the 13th Clash by Everglow8444. It's got this music with actual battles from the game :)

[@IMMACYCLOPS]

That's actually what led me to find this video :)

[@CaptainCJ97]

IMMACYCLOPS same

[@IMMACYCLOPS]

CJAdams97 Everglow did very well with editing the video, especially the suspense when Sora used Ars Arcanum to finish off Roxas :)

[@CaptainCJ97]

IMMACYCLOPS yup

[@IMMACYCLOPS]

Did you see the English walkthrough of 2.5 by Everglow? There's a funny moment in the Xigbar boss battle when Sora becomes Anti-Sora.

[@VOIDGEAR0]

I'm so attached to Graceful Assassin...

[@hwanniggles187]

That part is actually called Lord of the Castle

[@VOIDGEAR0]

True, But speaking in general.

[@QuintusKing]

John Rogers There is actually Graceful Assassin at 2:52.

[@davionthornton6321]

Need to call it 14th anthology and add vector to heavens. In my opinion anyway

Hearing this song and seeing this image, its as if there is a battle on the asteroid. Awesome.

[@IMMACYCLOPS]

That's such a cool idea for a battle sequence :) On an asteroid flying toward Earth... The idea sounds so epic :D

Apocalypsis Noctis, Somnus, Invidia, Omnis Lacrima and many other battle themes, Magna Insomnia, Wanderlust, Luna, Valse di Fatastica etc etc, I could name 20 more, are all so great tracks.

[@cecilhuntington8127]

Well, whatever it is it is pure, Amazing, I shared my side of playing video games in my life time, and who is to say we can't take a cool part of the music, and share the vision with some pictures as slide show, also, to all the guys who make this music, even if the pictures are not changing or moving, I am getting my edge to write my story with this music, the nice peaceful music can start off with a peaceful town for the person to be and raised in, when there is intense or battle music, it gives me a notion to write down the battle theme in my story, keep going on the music posting, you guys rock, and i mean it!!!

[@DarknessIsTheTruth]

Several. It's composed of: Another Side, Another Story The 13th Struggle, The 13th Reflection, Graceful Assassin, The 13th Dilemma, and Lord of the Castle.

[@13CrimsonFox]

Kingdom Hearts series, one of those games with really beautiful musics...

[@vexsten6171]

this gives a super smash bros vibe at the beginning when things start picking up at 1:03

Congrats, you have won my personal "Most Oddly-chosen Thumbnail" award! Have a metaphysical cookie.

[@quackblade8]

To people complaining about the KH3 on Xbone thing, it's just not that important. Now more people get to play, so that's cool. And regarding Wii U, if it was on Wii U, the graphics would be held back on account of Wii U's limitations. It's no biggie, man

[@ShiroNoOokami]

It's actually an arrangement/mashup of the numerous "The 13th (something)" songs used for Organization XIII fights, with Another Side mixed in for good measure at the beginning and end. They were introduced in KH:CoM and KH:II.

[@AmateurTraceur1]

Final Battle. This SCREAMS final battle. 7 lights, 13 darkness.... I cant Wait!!!!

[@elementalcolors4977]

[@temmiexgamesmonsterhunter8508]

Greatest battle music? I'll be the judge of that. Me lieaning: ohhhhhh myyyyyyy goddddddd

[@thanoxyn1]

Isn't it called Kingdom Hearts 3: The Keyblade Wars ? Although from what I know it's another console exclusive because disney thinks you have the cash to buy every system on the market to play one KH game on each.

[@castlevania898]

It's a medley of many songs associated with Organization XIII in KH2 and KH Re: Chain of Memories.

[@evileagal3241]

Me who hasn't played kingdom hearts 2 in years: hears this song Me: ah sh!t... Here we go again :)

[@steventhedoglover]

Why did a week ago same time all i start humming this in my sleep... Yes sometimes i record what i say in my sleep... Its hilarious

do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@steventhedoglover]

I KNOW!!!!!

[@shook198]

I usually hum tunes as well, but when I'm _just_ waking up from sleep. It's really weird when I catch myself doing that.

[@isaacbronythetroller9465]

mola mazo SI¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[@TheTwilightmaster6]

Well, part of it is that Kingdom Hearts has never been on a microsoft system before now. The other part is: fans of the Kingdom Hearts Saga don't want the series to be on the Xbone.

[@Kabaru_onii_chan]

sounds like a kingdom heart type of music. i like :D

[@snowsomnus2534]

That's because it is Kingdom Hearts music.

[@limmmmmmmmmmmm]

Download link now I MUST be able to listen to this on my Ipod. i LOVE the kingdom hearts series, so this is a must have for me.

[@ExcorcistBagel]

But... wouldn't the plot of KH end with KHIII? Xehanort did say that the War would start again and everyone would be brought back.

[@Higth115]

Assuming that people here know the KH music pretty well. . . I wish they did somthing like this for Destati, fragments of Sorrow and all those sons that are connected if you get me

[@stinkmeaner19]

I need a Kingdom hearts game that puts us in the shoes of one of the keyblade warriors who fought in the keyblade war

[@johnsoismybro]

That Music was SOOOO Awesome

[@TheBanishedWind]

0:00 - 1:05 could be from "Organization XIII" since both it and "Another Side" begin with those same measures and it didn't go into the intense part of "Another Side" so it could be either or, unless Shimomura-sensei confirmed that bit WAS from "Another Side"

[@TheFinalDirtBlock]

The Keyblade Wars was what happened before Birth By Sleep again, we've never played it, but they're making a small computer game called "Kingdom Hearts X" so you can understand how the Keyblade Wars happened.

[@ffviiirocks]

The picture and picture makes me think of all of the Organization XIII members dropping down from the sky.

[@Fedoraman370]

Yes!!!! This is amazing!!! I could see this piece in a movie, its soo good!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RCfan234]

you know i think this can be a really good theme in kingdom hearts or any game almost honestly it sounds really good

[@ShadowEclipse00666]

and to end this debate light or darkness is stringer than the other light is afriad to accept the darkness that exists even in the hearts of the most powerful of light keyblade masters like terra but he gave in to his rage only roxas understod with soras memories of riku powering oblivion and soras memories of kiari powering ouththkeeper roxas is truly the master of in betwween not xemnas

[@TheNomad94]

Let's see: -Organization XIII Theme -The 13th Struggle -Graceful Assassin/Another Side (they share the same part) -The 13th Reflection -The 13th Dilemma -Lord of the Castle and some pieces of Darkness of the Unknown In this order. Look it up.

[@Grandpa_72]

The beginning felt like "trois gymnopedies"

[@Terminator1732]

Wen ich den Anfang der Melodie höre Fang ich an zu weinen weil die Herzlosen so traurig finde und weil ich schon emo ( Emotional) bin

This start of this reminds me of the music from band of brothers - BBC Series awesome!

[@lucascorneloup5594]

5 : 38 to 6 : 05, waow ...

[@hawx8902]

Lucas Corneloup it's so epic.

[@Senseilimb]

The first little peaceful bit is in KH2 i believe. And the rest of it, the battle part, is just the 13th struggle from chain of memories and KH2 being played with different instruments.

[@cccaymol]

0:00 to 1:04 Another Side, Another Story 1:05 to 2:14 The 13th Struggle 2:15 to 2:51 The 13th Reflection 2:52 to 3:14 Graceful Assassin 3:15 to 3:48 The 13th Dilemma 3:49 to 4:04 Showdown at Hollow Bastion 4:05 to 6:08 Lord of the Castle 6:09 to 6:42 Another Side, Another Story

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

KH music if it was in FFXV, I know they were both orchestrated by Yoko for the most part, but you know what I mean right? It has those FFXV vibes.

[@LinkMaster5555]

epic beyond words

[@Arexion5293]

Actually that Graceful Assassin part is same part that plays in Another Side, with slight alteration. And the Showdown at Hollow Bastion part is part of 13th Dilemma.

[@Someone7641]

All of them. I think from many boss battle songs.I can recognize 3:17 and the battle with Xaldin.

[@enhab7457]

***** how amazed were you at this orchestrated version of Lord of the Castle?

[@FlattyMchesterson]

Bryan enhsb he used it in one of his most popular vid. I can imagine that he love this piece.

[@treddox5880]

I know I'm 3 years late, but Everglow recently said in a Reddit AMA that Lord of the Castle is tied with Dismiss as his favorite KH track ever. Just FYI.

I hope someone makes a Kingdom Hearts Anime / KH2 Anime * - *

[@federicoalongi1946]

A mini-series

[@mattjoe98]

No, that would just ruin the series. I believe that not all Japanese franchises deserves an anime.

[@samuelevans4531]

There is Manga for it

[@HughMungusWang]

***** explain how it would ruin the series

[@JoaderR]

I agree. But it could maybe be based off the manga since there's more character in there (Kairi actually does something in KH2 manga :o)

[@Byakuyagaming]

@ExcruciatingLAUGH i believe that large meteor is from the new transformers movie. i could be wrong though as ive not seen it myself.

[@SatchelMarr]

'Cause that worked out so well with the Star Wars prequels and the Clone Wars...

[@danielgusev3563]

Organization xiii was first then the 13th struggle both versions than graceful assassin than the 13th dilemma than lord of the castle then another side

[@EruditoGaming]

I'm fond of calling this the 13th clash

[@quackblade8]

The models for Donald and Goofy shown off for the PS4 and Xbone version are so detailed and cartoon-like, it's amazing. Sora's model is also a lot better than ever before seen on the PS2 version (don't really like that one), and these details could never be achieved on Wii U tech and run as smoothly at 60fps

[@Uiopty]

Kingdom Hearts but they mix up with Cool ass Battle music and pimp it up too :)

[@JuvAmp95]

It could be,but the Organization XIII theme is based from the first part of "Another Side",that was composed first for the secret ending in the first KH.But you are right,it's the same exact bit as the Organization XIII theme,let's just say that it could be either from the first part of "Another Side" or from "Organization XIII" ;)

[@SinclairS2Engine]

I'm curious to know what the link in the description lead to, the video is no longer available.

[@jefftheindianchief8279]

This isn't in any of the games, this combines many of the organization themes, but with the picture on the video and the music, imagine, the most powerful array of enemies invading, while the most powerful heroes struggle to keep up! Eh, just a thought...

[@andrixjr]

Kingdom Hearts on Xbox One is amazing. Don't know why all the hate. I love KH, I also love Xbox. So....

[@swixx639]

[@Kingu-Sama]

[@ROSPoetry1]

the 13th anthology is struggle mixed with dilemma and i think a little darkness of the unknown in there or reflection. I cant remember.

[@megadiabrous]

this is so nostalgic :D

[@iansynge7656]

I am sorry, but now that Re:Mind is out with 13 Data Organization Battles, each with their own theme, I'm afraid we need a new 13th Anthology immediately.

[@MuseOfTheMoose]

I love the 13th struggle part

[@WalCalKhIII]

It's not in a game. This is a composure of the different themes used for Organization XIII. Like 13th Struggle, which we all know is from KH Chain of Memories, the remade one, and KH2. The 13th reflection, which was the theme used for some of the data fights in KH2FM. And a few other themes that I'm not too familiar with.

[@ENDtredecim]

live streaming connections to all broadband social networks easier online co-op free mmo(such as DUST 514) and more they already have a small but excellent collection of games that are finished as well as a whole array of games in the making it is def not short on games for the future like the PS3, XBOX360&WII were in the 1st 2 yrs of their releases so there is definitel A LOT too look foward to

[@ElectricDiscordLP]

It's from Kingdom Hearts II, and I think it may also play in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

[@thebrownest]

To all the people who are getting offended that people don't want KH on the Xbox1: Think about it like this. It's like the Halo series deciding to come out with Halo:5 on both the PS4 and Xbox1. Sure it makes logical sense, but it just doesn't feel right. That's how I think it is with KH3 coming out on Xbox1, at least for me that's how it is

[@Lordilucas12]

Kingdom hearts is like, full third party though, while Halo is from Microsoft (since like a year or so?) So Halo being exclusive makes more sense.

[@Tamacat388]

Except Kingdom Hearts has been on both Nintendo and Sony consoles since 2004 with Chain of Memories, the second game in the series and was an exclusive title. People just like to whine; like WE should care about the competition between two manufacturers that just see us a vending machines that are exceptionally noisy at times.

[@wolfpax181]

Honestly, I could care less which system it comes out on, I just want to be able to play all the games on one system so I don't have to buy every single one released in the last 10 years just to enjoy them.

[@unit8206]

EXACTLY THAT IS A PERFECT WAY TO PUT IT

[@thebrownest]

What? I'm slightly confused by what you said...

[@desvati4074]

Seems a little too stringy of a reason. I mean, Kingdom Hearts itself has you kicking the shit out of more than a few Disney characters with Donald and Goofy (And others depending on the situation) at your side assisting with just that.

[@Ash_Wen-li]

It's an orchestrated remix from a few songs, mostly from kh2

[@Dalmondo]

I have this picture as one of my backgrounds for my windows theme.

[@MajinMaster97]

Well, they were all composed by the same guy, so it's not really anything surprising. Although I love this more than the real songs - he should do orchestrals of them all
