Following the additions of several older Kingdom Hearts soundtracks greeting streaming platforms, Square Enix North America has opened pre-orders for physical soundtrack reprints. In particular, four soundtrack collections are now listed: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX, Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, and a conjoined release of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. Save for the Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX soundtrack, which costs $42.99, the other three soundtrack reprints cost $30.99. Additionally, they're all planned to be shipped in September 2024. The four soundtracks' store pages are listed below. The respective tracklists are also provided. Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX (Initially released on November 26, 2014) Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX (Initially released on November 26, 2014) Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & 358/2 Days (+ Re:coded) (Initially released on February 2, 2011) Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance (Initially released on April 18, 2012) It's worth noting that the three-fold soundtrack release of Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, and Re:coded does not include the lattermost game's name in the title of the album itself. This titular omission is likely because only seven of the songs in the album originate from Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. Lastly, Square Enix Japan also has each physical soundtrack available for pre-order. Contrasting the Square Enix North American store's shipment estimations, these Japanese releases are planned for August 16, 2024. Each store link is listed below alongside their prices: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX (¥3,960) Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX (5,280) Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & 358/2 Days (+ Re:coded) (¥3,981) Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance (¥3,981) You can view each of the album covers for each of the soundtracks in our galleries below: Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep & 358/2 Days (+Re:coded) Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Additional Note: These are all CDs, not vinyl.

Square Enix and Disney have announced that the soundtracks of Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, and Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance are now streaming. This collective release is divided into two albums: Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, and Re: are coded in one, while Dream Drop Distance is on its own. Further, these releases are separate from the previous soundtrack launches of Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 Remix and Kingdom Hearts HD 2.8 Final Chapter Prologue, as those only contained remixes and arrangments. These recent releases feature the original compositions instead. It's also worth noting that not every single song from each title is included; it's primarily the tracks unique to those entries and not repeats of tracks carried over from other games. The Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, and Re:coded album is comprised of 80 songs collectively lasting around three hours and 30 minutes, while the Dream Drop Distance soundtrack features 52 songs across three hours. Links to each supported streaming service are listed below: Spotify: Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, and Re:coded Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance YouTube: Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, & Re:coded Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Apple Music: Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, and Re:coded Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Amazon Music: Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, 358/2 Days, and Re:coded Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance View full article

With The World Ends with You getting a remaster for the Nintendo Switch later this year, a recent Tweet has started a discussion on whether Dream Drop Distance spoils The World Ends with You or not. Here are my thoughts on it.

As someone who has 100%ed a good amount of the KH games, I feel as if everything I say in here is pretty accurate. This was also made due to a tweet that blew up.

Alright so this is a question that I want to ask those who already seen everything that 2.8 has to offer but please don't put any spoilers in here please. So we know that we should play Dream Drop Distance first and obviously play 0.2 after that since it picks up from where the secret ending of Dream Drop Distance left off. But yesterday I saw by someone on Twitter that they say you should watch Back Cover first before you play 0.2. I just want to know would that be better overall or dose it not really matter, he seemed really passionate about it so I was just wondering what those who have seen everything thinks

I'm not really sure If I post at the right place, if you notice that I post at wrong place, dear admin, you can tell me where and feel free to move or delete this post ^^ So, few weeks ago I ordered Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance Wallscroll from one of Japan stuff seller / distributor at Indonesia. Here is my unboxing video and picture of me with my new wallscroll at my room. It's really nice to have it, although it's released at 2012s. Never too old to like Kingdom Hearts stuffs, either old or new! LOL Here are the photos : Here's the unboxing video : http://youtu.be/uBou9YPuKa0 if you have youtube channel, please subscribe to my channel and stay tuned for the next interesting video!

So everyone is still hype about the recent E3 trailer for 2.8 myself included I have watched the trailer at least once a day since it was released. And we are all really excited about the release date being December worldwide but one thing about that bugs me and it has to do with what Nomura said in the recent interview about how Kingdom Hearts 3 will rlease close to each other and not on the same day now that has me thinking that 2.8 wont release the same day for everyone which is fine as long as they are not that far apart from each other. Just waht do you guys think will they release the same day or will they release within days or weeks apart

On KHDDD in Sora's story in The Grid Young Xehanorth Say's to Sora:''This World is real, Data wont dream cannot dream. you don't have any idea where you are.'' So is the Tron's world in real world or dream world? And if it's on real world why there are dream eaters? or is it because YX wants to confuse us? your opinions in here

Grammar/Error Warning Undergoing Reform RIKU IS THE REAL HERO (THEORY) I wanted to make sure this theory reaches as many people as possible. If you aren't to keen on reading here's the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEOZyPxtOmg If you'd like to read the theory though. Let's begin: In this video I want to propose or convey an idea not many have proposed if at all. So as you all know Kingdom Hearts has always followed Sora and made him out to be the HERO some destined Keyblade barer until we reached Dream Drop Distance 4 years ago. We'll what if I also told you Kingdom Hearts 3 and what we know thus far also supports this theory? (I know I'd get ignorant hate because quote "We haven't played it yet how can you know?! I'm so... triggered! ) Yes, what we know actually does coincide with my theory. To understand the ending we must start from the beginning starting with the previous then current Generation. Birth By Sleep In this game we have our previous trio interact with the current trio and they develop connections. These connections are as stated (Terra-Riku] Aqua- Kiari, Riku, Sora] Ven-Sora). But someone's connections are not meant to be Sora's! (As we know from the know it all himself Mater Xehanort in DDD) In this journey the most important visits to Destiny Islands is connected to Terra and Aqua's portions. In Terra's visit he bestows the power of the Keyblade to Riku do to their outlooks on "what's really important" being highly relatable. As he states in the ritual "So long as you champion the ones you love" (As we know Riku admired Sora a lot when they were children.) The second most important visit: is Aqua's! Where we can concur that Aqua would've bestowed the power to Sora do to Riku having the power and darkness looming over his shoulder. So she instead asks Sora to "Protect Riku" be by "his side" and "guide him if he wanders a dark path" (Please keep this in mind as we go along.) Now Terra also made a statement that tripped me out "Aqua, Ven, one day i'll make this right." what if this is connected to the seed he sowed by gifting Riku with the keyblade? Just something to think about sense Nomura hinted the person in Terra's heart isn't actually Eraqus. Kingdom Hearts 1 In this game as we know the journeys of our current trio begins. But do to KH usually following Sora's perspective we'll be going into Riku's instead (Remember the Guardian Role Sora Plays). In this entry Riku was supposed to be bequeath the Kingdom Key but do to his wavering heart the keyblade moved along, or at least we were lead to believe that. Overtime this journey solidifies what it means to wield the Keyblade and Riku displays the complete opposite demeanor. Showing disdain and jealousy for Sora during our interactions with him. Most noted time was when he calls Sora a "delivery boy" and when he lets Ansem into his heart just to gain enough strength to put Sora beneath him. Going against the rituals line of "Championing the ones you love." though surprisingly in the end Riku returns to that boy that cared for his friends taking his heart back from Ansem and secluding himself in the Realm of Darkness. Kingdom Hearts Chain Of Memories In this entry Riku is called to Castle Oblivion to take on the trial of gaining control over his darkness and choose a path of Light or Darkness. But on his journey Riku learns that darkness does not need to be snuffed out. But instead it can be controlled and used to help him reach the light again. After fighting a few Organization members he finally takes on his inner struggle Ansem. After overcoming the battle it is discovered Riku possess an ability never before seen. The ability to balance the light and darkness in his heart making him immune to corruption on both ends! Kingdom Hearts 2 After the events of chain of memories Riku has left to learn how to control the darkness's hold on him. So out of fear of not being able to face Sora and Kiari thinking they would hold his actions from KH1 against him. Until he learns they've forgiven him and have been searching for him. After he rekindles that bond with them he's bequeath the gift of a new keyblade which he secretly struggles with accepting. Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance You all should know the premise of this game, if not, SPOILERS AHEAD! Sora and Riku dives into the hearts of the worlds to awaken them from slumber as their "Mark of Mastery Exam". Whoever dives into the worlds hearts and return unscathed will gain a new power and will be crowned "Master". We learn a few things about our two heroes. Sora: 1) Is prone to darkness of high levels like Xehanorts. 2) And Sora is actually a dull ordinary boy only powerful because of the connections in his heart. But he would never be chosen by a key. Riku: 1) Riku is immune to even the deepest depths of darkness which he's dived into twice 2) and Riku possess the power to save people from the darkness Now if you'll recall I said DDD exposes a lot about the theory? You should see what I'm eluding too. Sora can't fight Xehanort off. But Riku, however, has done it twice. Also, in the end Yen Sid says that "THEIR FATES REST BEST ON RIKU'S SHOULDERS" Kingdom Hearts 3 So of course things get a little bit flexible and interpretive here but let me explain why this coincides with my theory thus far. In the 2013 announcement trailer () we see Sora pick up the "Master Defender" as we know from Nomura Aqua will find out how to save Ventus and Terra in "A Fragmentary Passage" words from Nomura himself! But at the time Sora picks up this Key he shouldn't be a Master seeing as his clothes are still the KH2 duds. Leaving only one Master to be picked by the key "Riku". Think about it! Aqua knows Riku/Sora's home is Destiny Island meaning she could've sent the key to them the same way she lends Terra her Key. As a symbol of her will being left in Terra's hands. Secondly, take a listen to Young Xehanort's words to Young Eraqus in the E3 2015 trailer "On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire" If we've already established Riku's immunity to darkness since CoM it would make sense he'd survive the event of darkness consuming the light. During the 2nd key blade war. Lastly, think about Xehanort's goal in KH3 "13 darkness's and 7 lights whose final clash will beget the prize I seek...The X-Blade!" As we know the X-blade is a wavering key meaning it would connect to Riku because they're wills are the same and as we know a key can renounce a wielder if their hearts do not relate to it's will. The same way Riku lost the Kingdom Key. Look at the way to dawn keyblade and look at the X-Blade the Heart emblem is evidence. The X-Blade emblem is safe guarded by two Kingdom Keys but I think that symbolizes "Defender of Kingdom Hearts". So what do you think?

I know that a lot of people complain about how in 3D that you drop & switch characters too quickly. Hopefully Square changes how long it takes to switch character. Maybe, as a special reward for beating the game under a certain difficulty, you get a special ability where the Drop meter never goes down.

When Riku shows up in "The World that Never Was" is Riku still in Sora's dream or in the real world because he and and sora are still wearing the same clothes. Also how were Mickey, Donald, Goofy, and Axel drop in. Because Riku and Sora are still in the past, so how did those 4 go back in time.
