*For those who don't understand what the songs meaning is :)* This song is about feeling insecure about a relationship. Utada wrote this song for her boyfriend to tell her that though she feels that they are moving farther away from each other, she does not fear the future regardless of what people have been telling her.

They did meet when Sora and Riku were younger. I think she gave Riku the power to wield a key blade or something like that. I remember seeing it somewhere on here.

[@sabrathw]

Soilith She met Kairi and saved Kairi in Birth By Sleep and gave her the power to wield a keyblade. Which is why she's able to wield one that Aqua actually did once get in the game. Terra met Riku and gave him the power to wield one, while Ven gave Sora the power to wield one since Ven in uh... "Inside" Sora

[@mithrilelly1781]

ThatGuyTy Oh I didn't know all that lol. Thanks for the info. It makes sense that Ventus gave Sora the power to wield one because in KH2 in Soras heart is a copy of Ventus for the first few days of the game.

[@Lkdog]

Soilith that was terra who spoke to Riku. Aqua considered giving sofa the powers to wield but thought against it because "one keyblade is enough for any friendship"

For those who're interested in the Kingdom Hearts series, the games of the series are below. KH1.5 and KH2.5 includes all six previous KH titles, but they are available in both PS3 and PS4. If PS3, get _Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX_ and _Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX_. They are HD remasters of all the previous KH titles. If PS4, get _Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 ReMIX_. It's the PS4 port of the HD remasters I mentioned earlier but in one single disc and all the games run in 60 FPS. It's coming out in March 2017. This opening cinematic is for the upcoming _Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue_, coming out on PS4 in January 2017. _Kingdom Hearts III_ concludes the current saga of the series and is on PS4 and Xbox One but we don't have a release date yet. Basically, get 1.5, 2.5, 2.8 and then 3.

This game taught me the value of friendship.

[@candidpepper]

This touches me on a personal level being the fan I am. Aqua has been through so much since she was anointed a Keyblade master one by one her life falls apart. Terra loses his body to Xehanort to only live as a metallic husk and Ventus who bravely gave in to save Aqua and Terra from Vanita's wrath but even that wasn't enough. She is now stuck in a purgatory like state in the realm of darkness for over 10 years which felt like mere days or hours to her. She now lives in mere darkness and to me thats a fate worse than death I do hope Riku and Mickey saves her from the Realm of Darkness I have faith Square Enix.

[@Quenmanp]

It's sadder when you realize the only reason she's there was because she gave up everything just so her friends could be okay😭

[@HeartlessKeyblade92]

If you ask me, Aqua is the real MVP. She sacrificed everything for the sake of her friends and those closest to her.

[@xXSoulGeoXx]

***** at least, they can release the game on PC, just as what happened in MGS V TTP, God Eater 2 Rage Burst and other games that were once exclusive to PS3/Xbox? I remember reading the developers might consider to do it if there is enough interest

[@triavang7946]

I believe a quarter of 3 is Sora passing the test, to another quarter rescuing Aqua and finding the rest of the squad to fighting the 13 than some more epic stuff. Terra is inside himself but Xera has full control of the body as if it's his own. Or you could say it is his own body now. So I assume the whole point of the fight is to retrieve his body back too?

Best KH opening to date. Love the sky falling, makes me feel so happy that they are all smiling together and that hard times won't break them. So many emotions. Remembering the first time I played KHBbS and how it eneded, first game I played where the villain actually wins.

Dammit you had to play the song that got me hooked on the game before I even played it 10 years ago. FML.

thats all i could think of too! The nostalgia ran through my spine, first few notes and I was like yep I'm in.

Watch Gametrailers timeline and the how time travel works video.

[@TheGreatKaitsu]

Really? If you played BBS, then the story is much more understandable. And if you played DDD, that brings it all in. DDD is a direct sequel to KH2.

Hey you know what would be better than this? I don't know, maybe KINGDOM HEARTS 3 WOULD BE NICE

[@firecloud42]

this is setting up KH3...think of it like Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zero

[@jessicawarren3489]

Hey, you know what would be great? Understanding that the team that released 2.8 is completely different than the team that's working on 3. Just shut up and wait for 3. The longer they take on the game perfecting the worlds, battle system, and animations, the nicer it'll be. I'd much rather wait 10 years for a kickass game with hours of gameplay opposed to 2 years for a shitty game that only has a week of gameplay. If I can beat a game in 6 days, it's not long enough (then again, I was playing it from 5 am to 2 am, so that's probably all my fault).

[@EurynomeEclipse13]

Hey, you know what would be great? How about you shut up!

[@JR-rm4nw]

KH3 only started development like 3 years ago though. Duke Nukem was in development hell shifting through many development studios.

I can barely hear the words at 1:57. It’s garbled and I hear static too. It’s the same for every other version of this song I’ve seen. I think they may have messed up on it a little bit.

[@heaveniridescence6993]

Sora's heart is noticably always portrayed as a sun-like thing that gives the light of hope.. Interesting detail to me...

I've never played any of the main games in the series, only Chain of Memories. Never owned a Playstation after the PS1.

[@TheEyesOfLifePSAwesome]

TimmyTheNerd same im thinking of getting one

[@Cyrilcynder1]

TimmyTheNerd there is one for 3DS thats leagues better than Chain of memories. Two for ds, re:coded and 358/2 days. I personally didn't like re:coded cause it's kh1 all over again kinda, but someone who's never played 1 would probably enjoy it more

[@nathanielchery9807]

Just wait and buy the 1.5 and 2.5 collection in March (1 disc) (about 6 games but 4 of them are playable) Then play this after (2 games and a prequel mini movie) It'll be in the right order so your not confused and you'll have a ton of fun and plenty to do and enjoy the plot 😊

I never expected Mickey to look this BADASS! I dabbled in KH1 but never finished it... Can I count on these new PS4 releases to put me up to speed storywise?

[@larxene12]

StriderRyu7 yes

[@T.K.Fischer]

I can't find it on KZbin, but IIRC, the build up to Kingdom Hearts II back in the day had an amazing Mickey reveal. You see this cloaked figure running from a swarm of heartless. They surround him and the cloak comes off revealing King Mickey with a keyblade in each hand. Then he just starts cleaning house.

[@gnomechild7480]

Yup, ps4 is getting the kingdom hearts 1.5 and 2.5 bundle two months after 2.8 though so wait for that to come out first and then go for 2.8

I completed my Kingdom Hearts journey just a week away from release of Kingdom Hearts 3 all these games and stories are beautiful, I learned a lot from the characters that impacted my life and to all the people we meet; we have to say goodbye but to see you again. To see how this Dark seeker Saga end is breaking my heart. But I know soon it will be mended. From Our hero's and The Legends, to the pillars of friendship and the nobodies that have hearts❤. Everyone you meet You can make an impact on that person. A Bond thats inseparable and that we can learn lots of lessons on.

[@Scar661.]

I love Utada Hikaru's voice she's amazing ❤️

[@stayflyxx]

Man, I hope Aqua is able to escape from the realm of darkness one day. She doesn't deserve to be there

[@dangobango2248]

I already have a theory.....A GAME THE- ok but seriously. When kh3 was announced, there was a part during the trailer where Sora picked up Master Eraqus's keyblade off of the Destiny Islands beach. At the end of this opening cinematic, we see Sora reaching his hand to Aqua from presumably that same beach. We know for a fact(from the e3 trailer and playstation acess gameplay footage) that we'll be using that keyblade as aqua during 0.2 so is it possible she gets saved by Mickey, and Mickey takes her back there as Sora could be the symbolism for the Realm of Light (as we saw Mickey in the tgs 2016 trailer). just my theory

[@druvirus]

glitch hunter This video pretty much alludes to all that. You have Sora reaching in to grab her hand followed by an off shot of water splashing upward, as, if someone surfacing. Symbolic of Sora reaching into the darkness and pulling her out.

[@dangobango2248]

hit v yeah but I just remembered what aqua said in the e3 trailer "not even memories are safe from the darkness" so that Mickey could just be an illusion since, after all, we see in the intro he's clearly in his birth by sleep outfit and while in the tgs trailer we see he's in his Re:com outfit. (god this series is confusing even in trailers but I love it lol) But I still think she may be saved finally whether it's Mickey or Sora.

[@tahseenkhan3629]

hit v I thought that was Rikus glove?

[@lukesguywalker]

Okay, that was an absolutely beautiful cinematic sequence. One of their best. That remix also sounds good as hell, and I'm downloading it. I'll probably play this, too. But jfc, they stay releasing some "in-between" Kingdom Hearts games. Ya'll. Just give us KH3. I'm starting to get a little peeved lmfao.

[@nathanielchery9807]

MayceneTheNotSoLean They are just literally releasing all the games in the correct order, on the same platforms so that new people and old fans can refresh the plot and enjoy it when 3 comes out. They are making everything easier. It's not slowing down the production of 3 and the remixes aren't new games with the exception of this and the mini movie . It's coming relax.

Storm Dasher Well, your in luck, their re-releaseing all of the Kingdom Hearts games on ps4 (if you have one that is).

[@hopefrom2018]

I'm here to tell you (if you actually want to) that the first game is nothing like the rest of the series, all the other games are less Disney oriented. Although aqua does not become a vital part of the story until after the second game.

[@tumultuousv]

@@hopefrom2018 lol, Disney is in every game. The first is still like the rest.

I'm betting that Aqua and Riku will....get close. They're both true Masters, they've both spent time in darkness. They have a lot to bond over
