-vs-

Kairi III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qCbAgF-kmHg)
The third Kairi theme in KH1, plays during the flashback with her grandmother.

-vs-

Kairi IV (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4fgnIPdIuYo)
Kairi's theme in KH2, sounds kinda like a combination of the other three.


Kairi IV for me

Kairi III

Kairi III

Kairi IV It has more life then the others, imo.

Kairi IV

Kairi IV It has more life then the others, imo.

Kairi I= 0
Kairi II= 0

Battle 43!

Destiny's Force I (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuIuJvIXWiY)
Boss theme from KH1, plays during some heartless bosses such as Opposite Armour, Darkside and Parasite Cage. Also plays during some disney fights like Oogie Manor and Jafar Genie.

-vs-

Destiny's Force II (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6XYmngZ-40)
BBS' version that sounds slightly different, there's probably more but the only boss fight I've heard it play in is:
Hades and Ice Titan (yes you fight them at the same time)

-vs-

Destiny's Force III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4LtLAZxC5U)
358/2 days version, sounds more retro then the others since it's on DS. Plays during some heartless boss fights and there's also a cutscene it plays in:
When Xion and Xigbar are fighting and we see it from his point of view, revealing he sees Xion as Ventus

Destiny's Force I is my fave.

Seeing as how I have never played BbS and 358/2 days I will have to go with

Destiny's Force I

Destiny's Force I

Destiny's Force I

Destiny's Force I

Destiny's Force I

I was gonna vote for DFII but I really didn't like the part that started at 0:36.

Destiny's Force I= 7

Destiny's Force I the clear winner here.

Battle 44!

-vs-

Tension Rising (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5rRamnR72Y)
Plays during some early fights against Nobodies and a few other ones later in the game, including the first encounter with Demyx.


Night Of Fate is my vote

This is an incredibly tough decision to make 'cause they're both great songs in their own merit... but I think I'm gonna go with Tension Rising on this one.

Tension Rising, and that's despite, "please, master, please, compose yourself!" :D

Tension Rising

Tension Rising without a doubt. The moment I heard that in KH2, I was sold.

Tension Rising

Night Of Fate= 1

-vs-

BBS's version which plays mainly during the multiplayer battles in mirage arena, nice remix imo.

-vs-

Shrouding Dark Cloud III (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vu_1dbl1CGE)
358/2 day's version, like with most of its versions, this is simply a more retro version.


Shrouding Dark Cloud I and II are very close for me but I'm giving it to Shrouding Dark Cloud II

Hmm, I really think I prefer original recipe here. Shrouding Dark Cloud 1

Shrouding Dark Cloud II

Shrouding Dark Cloud I

hrmm... =/ I don't quite like any of them. :( But I guess I'll go with


Shrouding Dark Cloud II

Like TM, I and II are pretty close for me.... but I'll go with Shrouding Dark Cloud II.

However, I thought in KHI, I thought this was first introduced when you fight Cloud in Olympus Coliseum... I don't recall fighting many heartless to this theme... But then, it has been a LONG time since I've played this game.

Shrouding Dark Cloud I= 3
Shrouding Dark Cloud II= 4
Shrouding Dark Cloud III= 0

Shrouding Dark Cloud II wins, btw, the first time this theme is heard is when you fight Guard Armour.

Savannah Pride

Haven't you already voted...?

anyone can break the tie Smarty, whoever does it first, I think it gives both sides a chance because if I pick someone I might aswell just pick what they voted for anyway.
So, the winners of that battle is decided I'm at school and can't post much from ultrasurf so the update will come later.

I had no idea it worked like that. I think it would more fair if someone who hasn't already voted to break the tie. But that's just me I guess.

It's not like they can't vote -_-
they're perfectly free to vote aswell but this isn't exactly one of the most active rumbles on the board, if there's a tie I'm just gonna let anyone, already voted or not to get in a tie breaker and be done with it.

I had no idea it worked like that. I think it would more fair if someone who hasn't already voted to break the tie. But that's just me I guess.

Personally, I like TM's approach since we don't have sit here waiting for days for someone to vote.

Ok guys, looks like this is going to have to be put on hold for a small while, I'm really busy these days so I don't have much time to update the rumble, if someone wants to step foward and take over for me for a small while, PM me, otherwise I shall send a PM out to everyone when I'm ready to continue.

If you can give at least a general idea of how long you might be out of action, I might consider taking over for a while.

Ok, I will be busy for atleast the next two weeks, after that I might have more free time to continue this.

Okay, two weeks is cool, I can work with that. So the list in the first post of the thread is up to date and I can continue from there, right?

Yes, one thing I must ask of you is to keep a record of the winners, so I can cross the losers off of the list when I come back.

Other then that, it's all yours Agent, and thanks.

Right, so let's see where we're at with the most recent battle, then, and then we can continue from there...


Arabian Dream I - 5
Arabian Dream II - 3


Arabian Dream II got off to an early lead, but it seems later voters liked Arabian Dream II.


Under the Sea - 4
An Intense Situation - 4


All right, TM said that if there's a tie, anyone can break it, even if they already voted it. So I'm breaking it, suckers. Under the Sea goes on to the next round.


And we move on to these two battles...


An Adventure in Atlantica (This lively battle theme is used as the general music in Atlantica in the original Kingdom Hearts. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKtyyiWh3oo).)

vs.

The Deep End (This is a boss battle theme. It's used in one of the "Ansem" battles and also during the Kurt Zisa battle, among others. Listen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_aZrERkbwo).)


&

This is Halloween (The walking about music for Halloween Town in the original Kingdom Hearts. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKZByN_2JVo).)

vs.

This is Halloween II (The walking about music for Halloween Town in Kingdom Hearts II. Also used in Christmas Town, unless you're playing Final Mix+. Listen to this one here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpsvpFeqZnc).)



"The Deep End" is a really strong boss battle theme, but my vote is for An Adventure in Atlantica -- it's one of my favorite location battle themes. As for the other, definitely This is Halloween I - the second version just sounds weaker somehow.

The Deep End

This is Halloween I There is a difference damn it!

An Adventure in Atlantica

This is Halloween II

BTW, I'll probably be updating this one about every two days, since I know these ones usually move quicker.

An Adventure in Atlantica

This is Halloween

Yes, I'm still going to be voting, I have time to do that atleast (infact, I should also be able to update my first post after every battle, it's just that I can never find time to go onto youtube and search for these themes lol) :P

Deep End cause epic and This Is Halloween I

The Deep End and This is Halloween 1

Though the Halloweens are the same to me.

Also more votes in the RPG KH Rumble plz ;-;

The Deep End

This is Halloween

The Master - thanks for agreeing to continue to update the first post-- that takes a load off my back.

An Adventure in Atlantica - 3
The Deep End - 4


And so things end for "An Adventure" - shame, I really like it.


This is Halloween I - 6
This is Halloween II - 1


Seems some people can't tell any difference between the two, and most that do prefer the original recipe anyway.


Next up...

Spooks of Halloween Town (The battle theme for Halloween Town in the original Kingdom Hearts. It's essentially a fast-paced, battle version of "This is Halloween" - some people say they can't hear it, but just listen carefully and you can chant "Halloween Halloween" or "This is Halloween, This is Halloween" along with it. Listen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFiWR69LrG4).)

vs.

Spooks Of Halloween Town II (The battle theme used for Halloween Town in Kingdom Hearts II and Christmas Town as well if you're not playing Final Mix+. Seems like a somewhat subdued version of the one from the first game. Listen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ddJtS56vWTc).)


&


Oopsy-Daisy (This is one of those little short themes. It plays when Sora talks about how he found Kairi. Listen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIekW3TgH_M).)

vs.

Never Land Sky (This plays in the Clock Tower area, when you're just flying or wandering about. Listen here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggdWyNeiY1c).)



My votes this time are Spooks of Halloween Town II and Never Land Sky.

Spooks of Halloween Town

Never Land Sky

Spooks of Halloween Town

Never Land Sky

Spooks of Halloween Town

Never Land Sky

Spooks of Halloween Town

Never Land Sky

Spooks of Halloween Town

Never Land Sky

Spooks of Halloween Town II

Neverland Sky

I find it odd if people actually can't hear the differences in the themes between KH and KHII...

Spooks of Halloween Town - 5
Spooks of Halloween Town II - 2

So it looks like once again people either prefer the original version or cannot tell the difference.

Oopsy-Daisy - 0
Never Land Sky - 7

No contest - the short little theme gets its butt kicked.


Okay, next battles are...


Captain Hook's Pirate Ship (This is the walking about music that plays while you're on the pirate ship. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-n_UsJoxTc).)

vs.

Nights Of The Cursed (This is the walking about music for Port Royal in Kingdom Hearts II. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qC19ZeGmV_o).)


&


Pirate's Gigue (This is the battle theme used on Captain Hook's pirate ship. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRHgpw3PBLU).)

vs.

He's a Pirate (In the grand tradition of Kingdom Hearts, it's another theme imported from a Disney film, in this case, Pirates of the Carribbean. This is used for the battle theme in Port Royal. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdrgdJsFcUM).)


My votes are for Nights Of the Cursed (only a slight edge here) and He's a Pirate (love this theme.)

Captain Hook's Pirate Ship

He's a Pirate

Nights Of The Cursed & Pirate's Gigue

Captain Hook's Pirate Ship by the smallest margin

He's A Pirate by the widest margin

Captain Hook's Pirate Ship

Pirate's Gigue

Nights Of The Cursed & He's A Pirate

Even though He's A Pirate is a HORRIBLE rendition of the epic theme from the movie, it's my fave here.

Nights of the Cursed

He's a Pirate

Captain Hook's Pirate Ship - 3
Nights Of The Cursed - 4


Very close on this one, but the Pirates theme wins here.


Pirate's Gigue - 2
He's a Pirate - 5


Not much of a contest on that one-- "He's a Pirate" the easy favorite there.


Okay, next up...

Miracle (This brief theme is used when Sora is restored from being Heartless by Kairi. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83gpGXktX0E&p=9C099386C6D117CD&playnext=1&index=64).)

vs.

Forze del male (This theme is "Forces of Evil," in Italian. This is used with the possessed Riku ["There's no way you're taking Kairi's heart."] and during the second battle with "Ansem" at the End of the world. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QoId_SGKb0g).)


&

Hollow Bastion (This is the walking about music for Hollow Bastion in the original Kingdom Hearts. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOM4xTtERog).)

vs.

Reviving Hollow Bastion (This is the walking about music used Kingdom Hearts for Hollow Bastion / Radiant Garden. Unlike some of the alternate themes, I think people should definitely be able to tell the difference in this case. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I389ulH99S0).)

vs.

Radiant Garden (This is the walking about music used for Radiant Garden in Birth by Sleep. It's the same basic idea, but it sounds very different from either of the other themes. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKZXk61wmig).)


My choices are Forze del Male and Radiant Garden.

Forze del Male & Reviving Hollow Bastion

Forze del Male & Reviving Hollow Bastion

Hmm, so where'd all the voters go? Even TM hasn't voted yet, but I'm gonna keep this moving, so...


Miracle - 0
Forze del Male - 3

No contest there, another short little theme bites the dust.


Hollowing Bastion - 0
Reviving Hollow Bastion - 2
Radiant Garden - 1

KHII theme preferred in this case.


All right, next up...


Scherzo di notte (This is the battle theme for Hollow Bastion in the original Kingdom Hearts. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tQe_JMvjeuk).)

vs.

Scherzo di notte II (This is the battle theme for Hollow Bastion / Radiant Garden in Kingdom Hearts II. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ZiVsSxY7k0).)

vs.

Scherzo di notte III (And finally, this is the battle theme for Radiant Garden in Birth by Sleep. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13rjEQEH2ak).)


&


Hikari (KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental) (One of several forms of "Hikari" - this instrumental is used when Sora plunges the keyblade that unlocks the darkness in people's hearts into himself and becomes a heartless. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47mODMsenyE).)

vs.

Guardando nel buio (This is the theme for the final battle with "Ansem," the World of Chaos. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5VFpp0fR3E).)


Hmm... for the first battle I prefer the original Scherzo di notte. And for the second... sorry final boss battle theme, but Hikari (KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental) always brings me right back to that moment in the game-- it's a definite favorite.

Whoops, looks like I forgot to vote last time :p

Scherzo di notte III

Hikari

Scherzo di Notte & Guardando nel buio

Scherzo Di Notte II

Hikari (KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental)

Scherzo di Notte

Guardando nel buio

Scherzo di Notte III

Guardando nel buio

Scherzo di notte - 3
Scherzo di notte II - 2
Scherzo di notte III - 2

Very close there, but the original Scherzo di notte takes it by just one vote ahead of either of the other choices.


Hikari (KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental) - 3
Guardando nel buio - 4

Another close one, but we must now say goodbye to Hikari (KINGDOM HEARTS Instrumental). (Damn.)


And, we continue now with...


End of the World (This is the walking about music for the End of the World area in the original Kingdom Hearts. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdSnKwSTWD4).)

vs.

Beyond the Door (This is the music that is played when the door to Kingdom Hearts is opened up. "You're wrong! I know now without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts is light!" "Light... but why?!" Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6P8alwOwTmQ).)


&


Fragments of Sorrow (The battle theme for the End of the World. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6d1pQ_le24E).)

vs.

Destati (Technically not in the actual game itself. Though forms of it are used throughout the game, "Destati" is a bonus track that was only included on the soundtrack. Like many track titles, it is Italian - it means "Awaken." Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCtDsFqC84c).)


My votes are Beyond the Door and Destati.



P.S.: Because of the holiday, I will end this on Wednesday evening, instead of Tuesday evening. That's unless there's a blowout or there are already at least seven votes (the normal) by Tuesday evening.

End Of The World & Fragments Of Sorrow

End of the World

Destati

End of the World

Destati

Ya! In before it ended XD

Beyond the Door

Fragments Of Sorrow

End of the World - 3
Beyond the Door - 3

Mrm, it seems that were are tied, so would somebody do me the favor of breaking that? We can use The Master's rule that anyone can do it even if they voted before, I just don't feel comfortable doing it right now while I'm running it. Just post your tie-breaker in addition to your vote for the battles below.


Fragments of Sorrow - 2
Destati - 4

The soundtrack-exclusive ekes out that one.


Okay, next up we have...


Always on My Mind (This is the music used during the final video of the game Kingdom Hearts proper, before the ending / "Simple and Clean" starts up. "Take care of her." Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRaJYnAAaFU).)

vs.

Passion ~opening Version~ (The opening version of the vocal tune used for Kingdom Hearts II. Let's just say that this is both "Passion" and "Sanctuary," since they are essentially the same tune, just one with Japanese lyrics and one with English lyrics. Listen to the Japanese "Passion" here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GW0xSnUVdF0">here</a> and listen to the English "Sanctuary" <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVgbNFxSv3Q).)


&

March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra (This is the closing credits music of the original Kingdom Hearts. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i7VBvUM1vGw).)

vs.

Passion KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version (This is the opening demo version of "Passion" from Kingdom Hearts II. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpXGDLhWuJY).)


I'm voting for Always On My Mind and March Caprice for Piano and Orchestra.

BTW, voting seems to have picked up nicely, but just in case anyone didn't realize it that normally participates, the Gen FF Rumble is going again.

Tie Breaker for previous Battle: End of the World

Passion ~Opening Version~

Passion KINGDOM Orchestra Instrumental Version

Okay, let's keep it going, then...

Hand in Hand (Reprise) (The original version of the reprise from the original game. Played durign the final ending video. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehF774KhXzs).)

vs.

Hand In Hand (This is listed for some reason as "Reprise II," but actually it's just called "Hand in Hand" on the Kingdom Hearts II soundtrack. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_w-pHjvscg).)


&


Dearly Beloved (This is used when you're sitting at the menu to load the game or start a new game. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3SmD61UGoo).)

Dearly Beloved II (And if it's Kingdom Hearts II's menu that you're sitting at, then you'll be listening to this. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0H8YHAuaNg).)


There's also a reprise version of both of the "Dearly Beloved"s, but for some reason, they're not in the rumble. Anyways, my votes are for Hand in Hand (Reprise) and Dearly Beloved II.

Hand in Hand (Reprise)

Dearly Beloved

They're not in the rumble cause they're not on the soundtrack, also very simular to the other Dearly Beloved, and I called it reprise II cause it plays at the end like the first reprise.

Hand In Hand Reprise II and Dearly Beloved II

Hand in Hand (Reprise)

Dearly Beloved II

Hand In Hand & Dearly Beloved

TM - not sure what you're talking about-- the Dearly Beloved Reprises are on the soundtracks, at least they certainly are on my copies anyway.

Hand in Hand (Reprise) - 4
Hand in Hand (Reprise II) - 2

The original version of the Reprise makes the second round.

Dearly Beloved - 2
Dearly Beloved II - 4

In this case the Kingdom Hearts II version is favored.


All right, next we have...

Sinister Sundown (This is the music used during the Struggle and during the battles while you play as Roxas in Twilight Town. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=garoe8_Hp-Y).)

vs.

Working Together (The battle theme while playing as Sora and company in Twilight Town. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9V0LcRDoXs).)


&

The Escapade (This is the music used while you're performing a job in Twilight Town. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM0UCXnWsKg).)

vs.

The 13th Struggle (This is the battle music usually used in battles against members of Organization XIII. "I'll make it all go away!" Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yfgwz-RRJ4c).)

For the first battle, my vote is easily Working Together-- one of my favorite normal battle themes in the series. As for the second, has there ever been more of a mismatch? The 13th Struggle, duh!


BTW, TM are you going to continue updating the first post of the thread, or am I going to have to start tabulating the results?

Working Together

The 13th Struggle

Agent is right concerning the "Reprise" versions of Dearly Beloved... They were present in the Kingdom Hearts Complete Soundtrack (9 Disc) version at least... not so sure about the individual game soundtracks though.

Working Together

The 13th Struggle

Seems these battles weren't much of a contest for anyone else either...

Sinister Sundown - 0
Working Together - 4

The Escapade - 0
The 13th Struggle - 4


Next up we have...

Missing You (This is used during the scene where Kairi is missing Sora, though she doesn't remember his name. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aJsN76v-iY).)

vs.

Friends In My Heart (There's a Kingdom Hearts II version of this also, but I don't see a "II," so I guess we're only using the original version. Anyway, this is used during certain heartfelt scenes--one example being after you complete the Hercules Cup at the Coliseum. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJ5QJUDxF_g).)


&


Roxas (His theme song, it's used during certain key scenes with him, such as the very last scene. "Looks like my summer vacation is over." Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHjgZglZ-S4).)

vs.

Sora (And this is Sora's theme song. It's used when he first wakes up and also later at the end of the events in Yen Sid's tower. A bit of it also remixed into the game's closing theme. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkXCDpZvl1o&feature=related).)


Friends In My Heart is my choice for the first one. As for the second, well, I think the last time I was forced to make this choice was in Zak's thread and while I love Sora's theme, I think I went for Roxas there, so it's Roxas for me here too.


BTW, TM, later on you have a battle listed as "Working Together" vs. "Gearing Up." Seems you accidentally used "Working Together" twice-- maybe you could put in one or both of the "Dearly Beloved" Reprises as a replacement?

ill go with Missing You & Sora for this one.

ill go with Missing You & Sora for this one.

Agent, there's another version of working together in BBS.

also Missing You and Sora

in light of BBS' euro release, a new theme has been released which I shall edit into the rumble, also Agent, next week I should be able to take over this again.

Only three votes this time (hmm, expected more of a turnout for this one), but I guess we're moving on...


Missing You - 2
Friends In My Heart - 1

Roxas - 1
Sora - 2


So it seems that this time it's Sora's theme that moves on. Which is fine with me-- I'd easily vote for it over a number of other choices. Right, next up...

The Afternoon Streets (This is the general walking about music for Twilight Town, when playing as Sora. It's used in Kingdom Hearts II and I think it's also in Re: Chain of Memories. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMMEauNVGr0).)

vs.

Magical Mystery (This is the music that plays in Kingdom Hearts II when you're in Yen Sid's tower. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75OBPxxAtOs).)


&


Working Together (As instructed by TM, this is the version of "Working Together" used in Birth By Sleep. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-SFfAIKefs).)

vs.

Gearing Up (This plays in Kingdom Hearts II when you're at work on the Gummi Ship. It sounds somewhat similar to "Shipmeister's Humoresque" from the original Kingdom Hearts, but different enough to merit the name change.) Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjpJnJXZgeA).)


My votes are The Afternoon Streets and Working Together


Okay, TM, thanks. It'll be good to be back to just maintaining the Gen FF Rumble, but this has been fun too.

The Afternoon Streets

Working Together (BBS Version)

The Afternoon Streets

Working Together (BBS Version)

The Afternoon Streets

Working Together (BBS Version)

The Afternoon Streets

Working Together (BBS Version)

The Afternoon Streets isn't heard on Kingdom Hearts: RE: Chain of Memories, for the record. That would be Sinister Sundown.

Thanks, aces, I stand corrected. Anyways, this is a pretty obvious blowout on both battles, so let's end it...


The Afternoon Streets - 5
Magical Mystery - 0

Kinda wasn't expecting that-- I like "Magical Mystery" and thought it might pick up at least some votes.


Working Together - 5
Gearing Up - 0

Less of a surprise there-- "Working Together" is excellent in any version.


Okay, next we have...


A Twinkle In The Sky (This is the music that plays when you're sitting at the World Map in the Gummi Ship in Kingdom Hearts II. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilvH8PjzB9U).)

vs.

Desire For All That is Lost (This is one of the boss battle themes... so yeah, "Get up on the hydra's back!" Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQDXhia5Iec).)


&


Laughter and Merriment (This is played during a number of lighthearted scenes in the game, such those with YRP from Final Fantasy X-2. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FdE4_eNCDhU).)

vs.

Organization XIII (Played during a number of scenes involving the Organization. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiuyB5aeN2M).)


Desire for All That Is Lost and Organization XIII

definately Desire For All That Is Lost & Organization XIII

Desire For All That Is Lost & Organization XIII

Desire For All That Is Lost

Organization XIII

Let's keep moving...

A Twinkle In the Sky - 0
Desire For All That Is Lost - 4

Laughter and Merriment - 0
Organization XIII - 4


Two blowouts. And now we continue with...


Shipmeisters' Shanty (This is used in Kingdom Hearts II when you are sitting at the menu screen for the Gummi Ship. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snvqL3AB9oY).)

vs.

Blast Off! (This is used in Kingdom Hearts II when you have selected a mission and are about to blast off on the Gummi Ship. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNM2oYwkgNA).)


&


Asteroid Attack (This is one of the Gummi Ship mission themes in Kingdom Hearts. I think it's used during the earliest missions. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_c8tsciIvk).)

vs.

Waltz Of The Diamond (Also known as "Waltz of the Damned" - word has it that Disney has been kid-proofing the titles. Anyways, this is the walking about music for Beast's castle. Listen to it here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fdhq4gnPyI8).)


For the first one, Blast Off. The other takes too long to get to the "meat" of the song. And for the second, Asteroid Attack.

Blast Off & Waltz Of The Damned

Shipmeister's Shanty

Waltz of the Diamond

Shipmeister's Shanty

Waltz of the Diamond

Blast Off & Waltz Of The Damned

I have retaken control over this rumble, I'd like to thank Agent for taking over, the reason for my absence was because I was spending time looking for a college and deciding what I want to do, which I have done so, so let's move on:

Blast Off: 3
Shipmeister's Shanty: 3

A tie here, somone break this pwease.


Waltz Of The Diamond: 5
Asteroid Attack: 1

dunno why people used the wrong name but it wins

Shipmeister's Shanty

I think both names are used.

Ok, Smarty breaks the tie, Shipmeister's Shanty wins.

Mysterious Figure (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkHefpAki60&p=8E7D2859FFC0DF71&playnext=1&index=7)
A theme exclusive to the english BBS (well it is for now but they've announced a FM for Japan) which plays during the most insanely difficult boss fight in the KH series to date.
we don't know who this guy is, he wears an orgXIII cloak and wield two blue lazer sword thingies simular to Xemnas' blades, this guy is INSANE, he can knock your deck command all over the place, reverse time to heal himself, turn invisible, surround you with clones, just, wow watch this if you wanna see how much he owns: YouTube - Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep (English) - Mysterious Figure Battle (Ventus) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iQ1I8dPhv8c&feature=related)

-vs-

Struggle Away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTUL82npcEc)
A theme from ReCOM that plays during fights with various heartless bosses.


Crossing The Finish Line (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfRdoVKAVsg)
plays when you complete gummi routes, a pretty short theme.

-vs-

Hesitation (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TijYpRqEgo)
plays when something bad is about to happen, I'm pretty sure this plays when Minnie discovers the thorns in the castle and there's probably some other times.


Mysterious Figure easily wins the first one for me, this theme is EPIC.

also, Hesitation

Struggle Away

Hesitation

Struggle Away

Hesitation

@ TM

it was called waltz of the damned cause that was just the name for it. bluelaguna.net will tell u.

I got the name from Blue Laguna:

Kingdom Hearts II OST Soundtrack Mp3s - Blue Laguna's Media Archive (http://bluelaguna.net/music/kh2ostsoundtrack/mp3s.php)

Just call it Waltz Of The Diamond when it appears in its next match.

maybe. not everyone is gonna, though. can guarentee u that.

Mysterious Figure

Hesitation
