[@christine0880]

Bariand In the original KH2 game, all music was made with synthetic computerized instruments. They aren’t the best for delivering outstanding tone presentation. In Final Mix, the music was recreated with real instruments played by professional musicians who did an amazing job performing the threatening mood this theme was meant to incite.

Ya know I actually really dislike this version specifically. I’ve always been a sucker for chorus and the organ, but it dies down, the organ is now muffled in the back ground. The extra oomph is gone for me, this one in particular is alot quieter then it used to be. I still like it. But it’s not as panic inducing( if tht makes any sense). The feeling is much different
