Returning music in KH3

[Novayon 192]

So since it's quiet on the KH3 news front, I thought I'd write a little post about some of the returning music in KH3

 

Obviously we can expect plenty of new themes from Yoko Shimomura, (For example the toy story world & battle themes), but I've noticed a few old or remixed music tracks in the trailers:

 

- Hand in Hand (Attraction Flow theme)

- An Adventure in Atlantica (Ariel summon)

- The Deep End (Rock Titan boss)

- Shrouding Dark Cloud (Gigas Mech battle)

- Hunter of the Dark (Heartless Doll fight)

- Some form of Fate of the Unknown/Aqua's theme (Aqua fight)

 

I'm sure we can expect other familiar tunes, like Destati and of course, Dearly Beloved. Personally I'm hoping for a variant of 'Another Side' like this (@ 40 seconds)

Also heard in 'The 13th Dilemma' and 'Showdown at Hollow Bastion'

 

Anyone else have some thoughts on what they think/would like to see return music-wise?

I'd love for Vim and Vigor to return with a new mix.

I'm sure we'll get new mixes (or at least have the DDD versions) of the various Xehanort boss themes for their respective boss battles.

A new version of Rowdy Rumble would be amazing and I expect remixes of every theme of the members of the Organization,unless they make new ones inspired by the old ones

I'd love for Vim and Vigor to return with a new mix.

 

 

This.  I also would love a couple others from Kh2, like Desire for All That is Lost and especially Rage Awakened.

I'm pretty sure that with this game, we'll get a perfectly healthy blend of old themes, remixed themes and new themes altogether! I can't wait to see what masterpiece of a soundtrack Yoko will conduct for this game!

 

For returning tracks, I'd love:

• Tears Of The Light
• Destiny's Union
• Distant From You
• Vim And Vigor
• The Encounter
• A Fight To The Death (Though since this was for the final battle segment with Xemnas, it may not return, but still, I'd love to hear the track again in KHIII!)
• Forze De'll Oscurita (Would be gloriously epic!)
• Forza Del Male (For nostalgic purposes.)
• Dark Impetus
• He's A Pirate (With a slight variation for At World's End.)
• Rage Awakened
• Enter The Darkness (KH Orchestra Version. Sounds way superior than the original version.)

That's among some of the tracks I want to return, and hoping for some epic new ones!

Yeah I wouldn’t be surprised to see for example...

 

Ansem: Guardando nel Buio / L’Eminenza Oscura

Xemnas: Darkness of the Unknown / Oscurita dell’Ignoto

Y.Xehanort: Dark Impetus / L’Impeto Oscuro

Vanitas: Enter the Void / Enter the Darkness

Xigbar: Black Powder

Saix / Demyx: The 13th Dilemna

Vexen / Larxene: The 13th Reflection

Luxord: The 13th Struggle

Marluxia: Lord of the Castle

Riku Replica / Data Riku: Forze del Male?

 

Xehanort: I’m not sure, but hopefully something new

 

(I’m not sure if Vexen and Demyx are members but I included them anyway. And I still don't know which Riku it is)

 

I'm pretty sure that with this game, we'll get a perfectly healthy blend of old themes, remixed themes and new themes altogether! I can't wait to see what masterpiece of a soundtrack Yoko will conduct for this game!

You mentioned He’s a Pirate, I really hope some of the At World’s End soundtrack is included in the game. It’s probably my favourite movie OST. Probably wont be though.

Yep, The Encounter is great, hope to hear it again. Edited October 14, 2018 by Novayon KH

I would have love if Savannah Pride would have returned for a Simba Summon.

[TiggerBooth 12]

I know it’s unlikely, but it would be very cool if at some key points the intro or end themes were brought back. Like (and this is just a hypothetical not a theory or anything of the sort) a scene where Sora gets knocked out. Screen goes black, then you here the echo effects from the planitb remix of simple and clean quietly. Then burst into a cutscene of some memories or new material on destiny islands. (Again not a theory or anything just an off the top of my head scenario)

[TheKeyofRose 282]

I feel like Black Powder should make a come back as well tbh.

[Allwil13 754]

I find that the main tracks that stay constant in multiple games are non-combat tracks, like Sora's theme, Riku's theme, Kairi's theme, Friends in my Heart, stuff like that. However, I have noticed some combat themes that have been carried over, like Shrouding Dark Cloud, the Deep End, and Hunter of the Dark. And I imagine there will be more returning tracks as well.
