Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days True Final Boss "Dirge of the Fourteenth" Re:Arrangement

[DipSet2cR]

WOW the fucking comments i'm reading about this game are IN FUCKING TENSE! i have been eagerly waiting for KH3, knowing it'll be on a next-gen... last game i finished was KH2, should i get these extra DS games?!?! am i missing out?! please answer!

SICK track btw.

[midnightraven100]

@DipSet2cR ya you should try to get all the games b4 KH 3D Dream Drop Distance. that comes out I think in August for America

[mikethegamer0]

@midnightraven100 i heard July 1st was rumored but the site it was psoted on changed it to summer 2012 so that mightve been real but they realized it was leaked.

[npthedarkside27]

When Roxas merged with Sora again, I didnt really care. When Namine was forgoten, I was kinda sad. Then Xion died, and i cried. Manly tears, but still tears.

[pkingdom1]

Such a sad song for such a sad fight.

[Rohan292]

This is so easy with Lexaeus.

[acemrawesome]

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one to cry at the end of this game. Only game that has ever made me cry due to a sad ending. =(

[TigrexJeff]

Hmm, seeing the comments about this game being depressing, as well as Sora, Kairi and Riku having a pretty easy time, KH3 (whenever it comes out, who the hell knows) better be damn dark. >_>

[Jroc1200XMaster]

now tht i thnk about it...i actually cried at the end too :( n i rarely cry

[sonicmike1995]

I actually cried at the ending of this game. Not what I expected from Square to tell the truth, but great game. Great ending. This thing is a masterpiece. Thank you for the awsome backstory Square. Xion will be missed.

[xephers3]

this in my opinion has to be the hardest boss ive ever faced just because i didn't want to kill Xion. and the fact that alot of the attacks were hard to dodge and hard to get good hits on her.

[dhvtl]

here i come Roxas...heeeyyaaahh!!!!! *powers up*

[Viczilla118]

i never cried once

but this game was soo depressing it made me sad

thats one reason to always love KINGDOM HEARTS

[HappleProductions]

Bah. YoutubeRepeat doesn't work.

[HappleProductions]

@HappleProductions I should clarify, it doesn't work with this video due to no embedding.

[TimAllOverOfficial]

Still, I prefered Naminé over Xion.

[cheetah672]

Sometimes I feel I'm the only person who cared about Xion :'(

[NightmarePegasus]

@cheetah672 You aren't the only one who cares...

[shadeslay406]

I actually got the most emotional during the fight when the music cut into Kairi's Theme. It said to me, "This is essentially Kairi that you're fighting. A person made of Sora's memories of Kairi, who is sacrificing herself for the good of her friends and Kingdom Hearts."

[chrisblass1]

i lost it when xion dissapeare

[moppey3]

In my honest opinion, this battle wasn't hard....

[claudia10156]

@moppey3 IKR? But i cried insanly in the nextcutscene

[OrionoftheStar]

"Stop holding back!"

God damn it.

God *damn* it.

I don't want to fight you in the first place!

[rmwua]

..Xion.. :'(

[KHstargurlkairi]

final boss is a huge xion whose face turned into sora

[Renonerouge]

This game was depressing. Not only because of Xion's death, but because you knew the grim fate that awaited Roxas in the next game. It feels like Sora, Kairi and Riku have a pretty easy time when they are mirrored by the trio Roxas, Xion and Axel, who are lost in darkness, struggle into existential issues and are abandoned by life.

[horo30]

@Renonerouge Ikr?

Lol they had the easy life. Get it? Life?

But ventus is still chilling in soras soul, i think axel just died like a boss.

[DestinyAnimeLover18]

TT.TT poor Xion. i admit that half way through this fight i was like "WHY ISN'T THE HEALTH BAR MOVING!?!? DIE DIE DIE!" but then the next part i was so close to crying! and then the part where she fades from his memories..... i lost it.....

[NightmarePegasus]

@DestinyAnimeLover18 I broke down crying when she faded away, my mom walked in to ask why I was crying so hard. <<" Yeah...it was sad though.

[CrimsonDragonEX1]

@NightmarePegasus I did too *high-fives*

[NightmarePegasus]

@CrimsonDragonEX1 Woohoo -high fives back-

[UncleRiv]

@NightmarePegasus That moment when your parents kill the epic or dramatic moment? Yeah... All too common...

[NightmarePegasus]

@UncleRiv Yep, mom killed the moment.

[PlacidDirge]

@DestinyAnimeLover18 Yea, they made a good character with her. I mean most of the time it would be some run of the mill character with little to no real personality to them that you wouldn't even care for despite their relationship with the main character, but Xion, I like that kid. lol

[Trippze]

@DestinyAnimeLover18 you would have a weak heart for crying so easily

[NightmarePegasus]

@DestinyAnimeLover18 I know exactly how you feel...even just listening to this music makes me wanna cry...

[burstlimit16]

I <3 Kingdom Hearts ^_^

[legendaryhero123]

Why is it when Roxas went back to Sora, everyone in Twilight Town or whatever the place was called forget who he was?

[ShadowClaw98100]

@legendaryhero123 Roxas lived in a digital Twilight Town created by Ansem the Wise to keep him hidden from the Organization. The people in that Twilight Town were just digital copies. Roxas never met Hayner and the others in real life. So they never knew him in the first place.

[TheFeonax]

Fucking awesome song, though I think you've gone a little overboard on the licensing bit.

[HeteroHoly]

btw this song is not yours lmao!!!!!!!!

[GnommishReader]

@HeteroHoly LE GASP. I had no idea... ¬_¬

Honestly? Troll harder.

[HeteroHoly]

@GnommishReader how the fuck is that a troll you fucking cunt. =.=

[GnommishReader]

@HeteroHoly Trying to fit as many swear words as you can into a sentence? Pathetic. You aren't worth my time or intellectual effort.

[finalhearts77]

i really honestly loved this game to the fullest but it's my least favorite because the story was by far, the saddest game i've played in the series, but it's still an incredible game!!!!

[gaiance]

@finalhearts77 This game is definitely my favorite in terms of story. It's amazing how absolutely terrible the gameplay was, and if it weren't for me being such a big fan of the series and loving the story of this game I wouldn't have bothered with it.

[TheAnimenowdotorg]

You can't own a song. That was not produced by you...

[BleachFanatic1996]

this is the greatest game to ever come to the ds

[kidleego1]

i beat the living crap out of her with lexeaus and the daybreaker sword. MY FAVORITE CHARECTER EVER CAUSE OF HOW HE IS SILENT AND POWERFUL

[sora2211]

I beat this last year on New Years Whoooooooooooooo

[gosia13k]

Xion is Dead

[MonkezMinder]

The name reminds me of the WoW trade chat dirge spam...

[rainwm]

Guh! I tried putting this thing on repeat. You know when you put the word repeat between youtube and com. Can the person who made this video make this possible, my fingers hurt from pressing the repeat button.

[glitchmagician]

@rainwm Use the extended versions.

[Roxas1stPerfection]

Xion last form was not as hard as her second and third form, those two where messing me up.

[Vipera217]

btw, can you extend this one? please??

[ImDehz]

Good Game

Nice Song

[ucantbelikethis123]

Hmmm Xion and Zack(FFVII) are pretty much alike, not really very major characters, but still they bear great significance to the story

[Legendaryteehee]

@ucantbelikethis123 um no? who the eff cries over xion -.-

[Vipera217]

it doesn't look like a final boss fight theme for me

[bryansphamily]

@Vipera217 well this final boss is more heartbreaking rather than other boss fights where you fight the main villain... in this game our final boss is not actually evil at all :(

[Vipera217]

@bryansphamily mhmm..i just noticed.. it was like: "So, this is it huh? I'm sorry."

[featherpawstormpaw]

@bryansphamily Worse, she was forced to fight you to the death. ...She LETS you win. D:

Vector to the Heavens/Dirge of the Fourteenth is the only battle music to make me cry. T_T

[bandit690]

2:58 my favorite part when dearly beloved is mixed in..

[deathshadow2492]

WHY DID WE HAVE TO KILL XION!!! T___T

[BlaxxShadow]

Those 47 heartless scum can screw themselves!! This is amazing!!

[bobonaroll]

This is very good. Most of times, instruments sound fake in other remixes. You've managed to make this sound realistic. Maybe the piano could have had a little more variation in velocity, but like I said, its very good! Keep up this good work!

[teruai4135]

this song is very good!

[KHgamer117]

in english class today, we had the word dirge and i was like, sigh and this music started playing in my head. Dirge means funeral music and sadly, this was funeral music.... :'(

[AntibacterialCloths]

ahh poor Roxas :( just like Ventus.

[deathnoteluva]

I'm gonna cry. . .;-; <3 I love this.

[DarkHunterKV]

If theres on Thing that Makes Kingdom hearts the Best, Its the Music. Yoko Simomura did an ASTOUNDING Job on the Music, It Reveals Every Emotion Out of you, And Always fits The Moment. ~KH Forever :D

[dualwieldroxas358]

Jakah016 I apologize, I did not se the note on the CC. I will remove this from my playlist immediately. If you could, however, send me a message indicating whether or not I may post this on my KH piano playlist, for it is a beautifully done piece. Please send me a message as soon

[Rinnu500]

1:24 - 1:45 is my favourite part <3 Thank you for making such a wonderful arrangement :)

[NocturnalMelody]

I listened to your arrangement before I got the game :D I like Dirge of the Fourteenth better!

[UnholyRenton]

I just can't believe on how beautiful this song is.

[dee1234t]

It's sad that they all die the trio. One wasn't real, the second dies a hero because he sees Sora as a friend. And the third forgets all his friends and is forced into joining with his trueself. :\

[Doctor2706i]

@dee1234t I think that last part is both the worst way and the best way to go, but i also feel they all had the right to be together

[Crayonofamadgirl]

I fought her, coz she was the boss, like ya do... but when she hit the floor... that's when it hit me... SHE WAS DEAD?! T_T

[RaineUchiha22]

please send me a link so i can download this beautiful song

[aracinid]

46 ppl are xemnas

[batmanpronz]

@aracinid 1. that makes no sense

2. That "joke" wasn't funny when some asshole came up with it and it isn't funny now. Just top.

[genesis2249]

R.I.P Xion, though no one will remember you... Your memories will be there linked by a giant chain to our hearts....

[UntamedShadows]

This is the best arrangement of this song ive heard! I love it! 8D

[TrafalgarRemains]

Kingdom Hearts games got THE soundtrack that makes me cry... so many songs that are so fucking emotional that my heart nearly can't take it... storyline,everything on KH! luv it ♥ :')

[x2XtReMEx]

This is sick as fuck

[GrimDetonationX13]

Stop Holding Back!

[Korakira]

Square enix could make the worst game in the world with crap graphics, terrible story, shitty gameplay and the music alone will still be enough to keep you in the game.

[LordManda2]

@Korakira Worst game in the world hu? Have you played Kingdom Hearts: Re:Coded?

[TokyoMewMewGurl94]

@LordManda2 I'm not sure, but the sentence sounds hypothetical to me... 'Square Enix /could/ make...' I don't think Korakira was dissing the game. Of course, I could be wrong, but still...

[LordManda2]

@TokyoMewMewGurl94 oh... whoops.

[Xypher911]

@Korakira Ehem,excuse me?

[gh4321able]

Get Ready Roxas!!!!!!!!!!

[XINKAI]

Dirge:: Noun;

-A lament for the dead, esp. one forming part of a funeral rite.

-A mournful song, piece of music, or poem.

[kingofmonsters14]

@XINKAI in short, something that fits Xion to a T, er... X.

[KHKHLOLZ234]

@XINKAI Now I see what they mean by that.....

Xion....why?

[Aisee27insignia]

@XINKAI A-Fucking-Men

[HeteroHoly]

@XINKAI A mournful song for the dead fourteenth is basically what is means xD

[Haro13337]

@Yosher21

which is on the description

[Yosher21]

Isn't it called Vector to the Heavens?

[aracinid]

Dear, YouTube,

I have recently encountered a weird and unexplainable bug on this video. It has this horrifying thing called a dislike button right next to the like button and some curious people pressed on the bug. Please fix this bug so this video will be better and so people can enjoy this video to its fullest.

Sincerely, a dismayed YouTube viewer,

aracinid

[destrover5]

@aracinid Can we sue the 49 people + that doesnt like this?

To do that has to be a crime.

[candy4725331]

Xion Roxas and Axel didn't deserve this....

[lojeloce]

GODDAMMIT WHY AM I CRYING!! SHES NOT REAL YET I FEEL PITY FOR HER! DAMN YOU XION!!!

[garchompelago]

@lojeloce with every strike of roxas keyblade against xion roxas heart is being tormented on the other hand I am slightly crying while im on this boss fight....and my tears finally flow down when I saw the part where xion vanishes this is one of the saddest battle

[marcovendemia]

on the original piece, violins and all the strings were hiding the magic behind the piano notes. you've just awakened that magic. thanks, really (:

[sakuratara1]

If you listen closely you can kind of hear Xion's theme... But i'm pretty sure everyone knows that ^^"

[MarioSegaFreak]

@sakuratara1 ...you're joking right?

[sakuratara1]

@MarioSegaFreak Sorry if I seem like an idiot for saying that it's just when I go on youtube I always find someone who posts an obvious ( or stupid ) comment and gets a bunch of thumbs up. I wanted to try it out. But apparently it didn't work ^^". I apologize for doing that haha...

[AeroFlash15]

@sakuratara1 ikr i tried something like that once and the results were really bad. :P

[SuperCherrybomb101]

@sakuratara1 yeah. this theme is just xions theme speeded up with violens and a higher scale

[Obito980]

This song made me cry out of know where

[elephanturkeymelt]

The real album version is out /watch?v=cobFXU41cNo

But i still watch both of them! This one is quicker and more lively.

[TheYesilikepie]

WHY THE FUCK DID I LOSE MY COPY OF THIS PURELY AWESOME GAME!!!!!! T_T DAMMIT NOW I HAVE TO BUY IT AGAIN FROM A GAMESTOP OR ELSEWHERE FOR A CHEAP PRICE!!!! (I know I put it in caps. I did it because I'm that pissed that I lost my copy and now I can't hear this song or fight Xion anymore)

[DarkFusion35]

@TheYesilikepie i know your pain iv lost my copy as well :(

[Axuye]

riku is the true final boss...

[wereld270594]

This is a battle where you will be feeling like a ass.

[FunKCX]

These songs makes me really wonder how the f*ck can people be that creative?!

[Scotty2331]

AWSOME[iminent=6am4D7sRf]

[AerogaSpammer]

When I read that the boss was hard, I expected to get whipped. I didn't though. I think what made it hard is who you are fighting.

[Dualwieldingroxas]

@AerogaSpammer no one wants to kill her... and she actually was hard btw, try beating her on hard, she's REALLY strong unless you're way too prepared. Especially her second and third forms are a hell :/

[alexis360100]

this is probably the best composition i have ever heard. they SHOULD have DEFINATELY used this in the game!!

[XxKickiniTiNthEHIXx]

What game console is kingdom hearts 368/2 is?

[Ispod4]

@XxKickiniTiNthEHIXx DS.

[hoboeden]

I think dirge of the 14th sounds better and makes more sense. I haven't a clue what vector to the heavens mean. A dirge is sad music played at a funeral which is fitting because Xion kinda died at the end of the game and she was the 14th so there you have it

[Poodacakes]

this was 1 of my fav songs i liked it when i first heard it REALLY EPIC

[twichy12295]

the piano riff thingy at 0:50 sounds almost exactly like the piano in linkin park's cure for the itch :o

[Booky42]

Can me and my friends use this song in a video of ours?

[UberSroonik]

Even better. :D

[sonickeyblade1]

wow u really care about copyright i read ur discription nd trust me its so long dat i bet nobody wud think twice about stealing da song nd isnt the song called who i am

[EnigmaticH3art]

I love this track! Your version blew me away!

[Mr4wesum]

Why does the sun come out everytime I play this song...?

[XnagarekidaX]

@Mr4wesum Really? in that case....

-clicks on play-

IT'S NOT WORKING FOR ME! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!1!one1!one!!1­!

[Aquamani]

@Mr4wesum Because the world needs to see how lonely you are

[Mr4wesum]

@Aquamani Funny how you tell me this over the internet.

[Aquamani]

@Mr4wesum well I don't know you personally.... so yeah.

[superskeetospro]

The only thing you missed is the piano scroll from 0:46 - 0:48

That's my favorite part of the original. :-P

[Jakah016]

@superskeetospro

Haha yeah, I wasn't sure how to transcribe that, at the time. (The "echo" effect threw me off. :P )

[superskeetospro]

@Jakah016 Well, I can at least say with 100% certainty that you can take time out of your busy life to completley redo the song to include that part of the original just for my own viewing pleasure.

Jk, X-D

At least some mixes got it right. :D

[RedMageZidane]

I absolutely love this arrangement. Roxas seriously got jewed hardcore through the series so far.

One thing though:

>DO NOT USE SONG IN ANYTHING UNLESS YOU HAVE PERMISSION FROM THE ARRANGER,

>(Jakah016)

>OR THE COMPOSER,

>(Yoko Shimomura)!!!!!!!

THANK YOU, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

[TheEndlessWarlock]

@RedMageZidane

Not so obvious since there's thieves everywhere.

[Sadet1991]

I wish more games where this beautifully composed as this

like this is better then some Wii games

[theoutsiders4ever83]

Whoa, this song like, makes me all emotional. I have it on my iPod and whenever I listen to it, I just wanna curl up in a ball and think about how tragic of a series Kingdom Hearts really is.

[Amainville93]

Kingdom Hearts ties for first with Ace Combat for me, for having the best music I have ever heard a game series EVER having. Absolutely. Ace Combat music is sufficiently atmospheric to make you feel emotion, and Kingdom Hearts music plays to your very soul, and makes you feel rage, sorrow, and just about any other emotion it wants to elicit out of you.

[Takaoldaria]

Now, I know that Xion is the final boss of the internet.

[fullironpipsquek]

This song makes my heart cry... only if i could play the game one more time!

[iamdudeification]

@bobsaix

but you do know which ansem i am refering to? cuz after fighting riku initially, there was that whole cutscene deal, i got all excited...then riku f***ing cheats :P

[uzumakiking]

I really am having some trouble listening to this song cuz i really feel sorry for xion, roxas, and axel...i know it's just a game but DAMMIT man....

[bobsaix]

its a sad song ,could probally be used at a funeral

[iamdudeification]

the one thing i never understood about 358/2 days is that you don't get the chance to fight Ansem-Riku. maybe for a final mix...????

[bobsaix]

@iamdudeification yeah like then its like a dream. and secondly i serched if ansem is bad and he is not.

[vanitasundead]

@animeismylife25 vanitas is emptiness in latan

[FlamingAxel55]

Love the final boss music of Xion! Ugggghh why can't I get a emotional cool music like this... -_-

[Blufire1992]

this song is such a beautiful piece... despite being paired with one of the worst games in the KH spin-offs. honestly I like the name 'Dirge of the fourteenth' it's very ...very... oh it's almost undescribable. but the name itself fits well

[abdi456001]

@animeismylife25 Vanitas's name is derived from the Latin word for "Vanity" or "Emptiness", and was chosen for its meaning, that it sounded similar to "Ventus", and that it was a written pun on "Sora" in Japanese. This is what i meant lol

[sickweirdo]

Brb, gotta cry for a few minutes

[Madara757]

@sickweirdo emo... :P but i know what you mean lol

[VGMEnix]

hey look the crowns giving us a notice at the beginning

[moneeb23returns]

Has anyone notice the logo design of 358/2 days and BBS is different from KH and KH 2

[arielreyes96]

for some reason i think the mario and lugi partners in time final boss theme would work good with the final boss from this game. has any body ever heard the partners in time final boss theme its pretty epic.

[DrDbleChesBrger1]

the one line that gets me every time is "Stop holding back"

Shes talking about how she wants roxas to end her so she can go back and roxas can stop xemnas it really sad i think

[Visonu]

Xion's wearing what will become Sora's Keyblade Armor.

[neokow]

@Visonu Really? Or just a guess?

[Visonu]

@neokow There's no confirmation yet, but I think it's meant to be a forshadowing.

You see, DDD is meant to link up to Coded, Days and BBS, so I think Xion's Armor in Days is supposed to give us a hint as to what Sora's Keyblade Armor would look like, and since DDD will be about Sora and Riku's Mark of Mastery Exam, surely they'll get Keyblade Armor, and I think Xion's will be Sora's, like how Xemnas's Armor was really Master Xehanort's.

Then again, it's a theory. It may be proven wrong later.

[EreshkigalNova]

beethoven's got nothing on this.....

[metaldudezero]

ever time i hear this song i still cant say eney thing its so piceful and sweet and sad the same time

[masemase2011]

played this game a really long time ago awsome game
