Im a man in my 30s driving a huge truck in a military uniform and I blast this on the highway in my feels and people look at me weird. Man this is my childhood😂
It’s worse when you listen to it with headphones in, if you don’t wanna cry, I do not recommend the use of headphones AT ALL cus im so mad that I just did that to myself, now my face is all red N shit 🤦🏽♂️😔
I'm nearing 30 and this shit still hits like when I was in my teens. Wow. Life flies fast, take care of yourself everyone! Update: I lost my dad 2 weeks ago. Really, take care of yourself and each other. It's unfortunate that we will see days like this but we have to be strong.
Freakygeek1209 I completely agree with you. This has been my all time favorite game since it came out. And this song is still so epic, makes me think of some good times. :)
Roxas accidently being brought into existence and being completely lost in the world trying to find meaning for his life only find out that he should never have existed in the first place...
It’s 2023…and I’m still in love in this game… future me if you come back to this video always remember may your heart be your guiding key! and to everyone else I hope your family dose well and you as we’ll take care everyone!
I remember when I was younger, I would literally just watch this intro on repeat over and over again because I just loved the way the scenes were choreographed with the video.
Never even played the game until like 2021 when it was ported to PC but holy hell the intro was good i still remember really liking the intro in middle school
This makes me so emotional because my dad is getting old and sick, but he’s the reason I was introduced to video games and Kingdom Hearts. Idk who I would be without it honestly, it’s such a core memory and part of who i am now. Whenever i see the openings it just transports me back to when I was a kid playing every day all summer long and my dad watching me play. Getting old sucks 🥺
To this day, 17 years later I still shed tears over the memories of this game. This song never fails to arise emotions in me that I hardly ever show on the surface.
Finished kh2 for the first time yesterday. I am going through a really difficult time right now, and this song made me break out in tears and cry uncontrollably when the credits rolled. I felt better after it Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Axel Thank you for this adventure. I am done being a nobody, time to become whole again
All the hardships you went through and will be going through are meant for something. They’ll help you become the best version of yourself. I don’t know what is happening in your life stranger but always remind yourself that nothing that’s going on in your life right now defines your worth as a person! There is a tomorrow and you will be there for it!
I was a really loner growing up . Spent a lot of my times playing games and watching movies . But this , this kept me alive . Gave me hope that one day I will find true friends .
This opening is so dreamlike, elegiac, and beautiful. It’s almost so surreal it’s hard to believe you didn’t just dream it up when recalling it. But that’s what I love about it. It can show imagery that couldn’t be possible if logic was taken into account. It feels so much bigger than itself, and that’s because it is. It’s telling the tale of these tragic but brilliant characters in a poetic lucid dream of an opening.
You explained that really well, I agree. Ill go as far as to say nothing to this magnitude of pure blissful art can exist in todays wicked world. This is music made without an agenda, without trying to make name for oneself or any of that. Is almost like a human can only be vessels for something like that to shine through from some other realm. Almost like the type of music Michael Jackson made too.
I swear the day Kingdom hearts 3 finally releases that's shit's gonna be out of stock the first day cuz bare fans would be up by 5:00 to get the game lol
my biggest wish is that kh3 can get even more gamers to join! so many people don't imagine how good this games actually are cause theres 'disney' in it. I feel bad for them
+BlurryFace „Sublime“ Nick no it will never this is history pure you got to tell youre grandkids that even today i still play kingdom hearts 1&2 on the original consoles
+Phillip Ofori - Amoyaw yeah, i get the same feels, goosebumps. this game was a BIG deal when it came out, so it makes me feel excited and sad at the same time, just because it was so long ago and i dont know if ive ever been so stoked to see a trailer since.
I’m 27 and it feels like I heard this for the first time again. I got goosebumps when I first listened to this song and it still gives me goosebumps to this day.
William Schofield yyyeeeeeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
I was 18 when this came out. The song was so impactful and I found myself wishing for the kind of soul connection that Sora and Kairi had. This year, I met my true love, and the song came back for me. It was like it was waiting for her. I'm so grateful.
Whether you like or dislike the Kingdom Hearts franchise, the Kingdom Hearts opening and accompanying song makes the Kingdom Hearts intro one of the best video game intro's the video game industry has ever experienced. Great Square Enix quality intro with a musical masterpiece to accompany it. Two A+ creations coming together as a whole, creating pure magical bliss.
@@Riorozen wym by offshoot? You tb the ones like the 365/2 days one? Or the main ones? Cus lowkey the 365/2 days one brought more emotions out than the 2nd one so I can definitely agree.
I was a kid when the first game came out, I loved it, then the second game came out. I am 20 years old now, and I still get Chills when I hear this song.
me too same age as well. Got to come back every once in awhile to feel the nostalgia and remember what shaped my video game knowledge and allowed me to enjoy and be grateful for Japan
I remember being 13 in 2012 and just geeking so hard over all of this stuff. It was all new to me. I had the organization 13 black hoodie from hot topic in middle school. Man I’d get roasted by all the other cool kids, but I’m happy I kept my composure the entire time.
I was humming this at work not even realizing where it came from. It was just in my head. 1 of my coworkers I barely talk to goes HEY U PLAY KINGDOM HEARTS? I’m like yeah long time ago why u ask? He started whistling this song then we both started doing it and ended up laughing talking about k2 on ps2.
this introduction never gets old. like damn kingdom hearts is such an amazing game. its so beautiful and so artistic. not just the story is amazing but the visuals. the style. the way Disney fits in a feeling like never before into this game. everything about it. its so lovable. I don't know what kind of person I'd be if it wasn't for kingdom hearts. it taught me so many life lessons about friendship, what's important, to have courage, and so much more. and it made me the artist I am today. And I thank the creators of kingdom hearts for making something so amazing
I still come crawling back even in 2024. There is a really special feeling this shit puts in my hearts I’ve been playing since I can literally remember. We can’t ever let kingdom hearts die. It’s too special too us.
Ohhh yea the gaming mechanics the fighting styles!!! Yea this game is a certified gem💯 if had not lost my ps2 memory card I would still be playing it til' this very day.....this game deserves to be preserved in gaming history💯 no ifs, ands, or buts!!!
I played this game when I was 18 and pregnant with my son. I’m 35 and listening to this on repeat. I have the heartless tattoo on my forearm. Such beautiful games, beautiful stories, beautiful music. I got into them because I myself was living in darkness, struggling to find the light because I was living in an abusive home with a druggie for a mom. Everyone knew what my mom was doing to me and did nothing to help. These games as well as the FF games saved me from remaining in that darkness❤
why does this (made in 2007) look so much better then norm of the north? (2016) oh that's right. these people were actually thinking, and they were putting their minds to good use on this beautiful game
Kingdom Hearts by far had some of the BEST music ever made for a game series, each song is so beautiful and fits perfectly with the overall themes of Kingdom Hearts.
I still get chills from hearing this song from the nostalgia of this one. I never played the very first game and just started the series at Chain of Memories for GBA, then turned around and got this one. The adventure in this one was so amazing for a game around that time. It was definitely ahead of its time. I’ll always love this game, way better than the third one honestly
tears of Nostalgia. start falling my face as i hear this song. damn it , it takes me to a simpler time when i would play ps2 with my older bro we would tag team this game
There is no guarantee that if they do make a new song it will be by Utada I don't know the details but she has been through a lot and came back to music recently plus last time she wasn't happy a contract she had with square and/or disney so there is no guarantee she will return should could but don't again no reason to believe she will
I'm turning 30 this year and this song is still something so unique to me. I'll never forget the first time I heard it and the first time I played this game, it is still my favorite ever made. Kingdom Hearts truly is something so extra special
Does anyone else really miss the magic that used to exist in moments like this when they were kids …. I’m almost 29 now, I’ve seen, done and experienced most of what I dreamed of when I was young .. but nothing comes close to the nostalgia from being a child with blissful ignorance and having the whole world ahead of you. I miss that little me.
+Daniel Ramirez I was just thinking that. 1 and 2 had some great intro songs that are major nostalgia bombs in their own right. Hopefully 3 doesn't disappoint.
"a scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. a far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I wanna line the pieces up - yours and mine." such nostalgia!
Ovoo D Jr. I turned 18 back in April. I can't believe I'm most likely going to turn 20 before Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out assuming 2018 is when it releases. I started playing these games when I was 5...
Kingdom hearts is our childhood. We are adults now... and it still brings me to tears cause this game is by far one of the best games to ever be made and played... thank you for this Hikaru Utada and square . I feel like i speak for every kh fan on this one..
fr man... I grew up on this playing it on a small ass dora themed tv playing it at such a young age i didn't understand the grinding that had to be put into this game, now here I am, 19 years old playing it on PS4 once more with the whole collection in my grasp... makes me go back to my childhood bubble where nothing could hurt me...KH will always be my comfort game man. Im def going to show my kids these games when I'm older.
Actually Winter 2016 has been confirmed to be a fake release date by Nomura himself. He has decided an actual release date and he will announce it to everyone at d23 in November
Video games can be more than just that. They can be art. An emotional experience. 18 years ago,this is the game that taught me that. And I've been grateful ever since.
This song holds a special place in my heart my m8 passed away 2 years ago and this francise was by far his all time favorite game everything about it was so magical to him and now i will continue to play this in his honor if your watching this i love you man rest in peace
The Lone Dreamer it's not confirmed yet of square Enix/Disney have come to terms with utada for kh 3. She got an insulting amount of money for both games. Normally musicians and artists/singers take the song that's given TO them and get paid as much as she did. Not many people know she WROTE the theme songs. She should've been given a % instead of peanuts. It's extremely insulting to me that DISNEY....f'kg DISNEY!!! Won't give her a decent contract. Think about how you feel when listening to this song. DISNEY nor square Enix wrote or preformed it. These songs came from utadas heart and beautiful angelic voice
I last played kingdom hearts 2 on ps2 in 2010 and i was 15 then, Kingdom hearts 3 got announced when i was 18 and i am now 21. I hope it gets released soon
