Part 1 - Kingdom Hearts Final Mix & Re:Chain of Memories

We finally reach what feels like the true wrap-up to the Dark Seeker Saga! Continuing from where Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind left off, Melody of Memory takes the chance to reflect upon the entire story thus far as a rhythm game, a first for the franchise.

Using Kairi's memories as the narrative framing, she reflects on a truncated version of the major story beats between musical recollections as a sort of "Best of Kingdom Hearts" album, with over 140 pieces selected between 2002-2020. Even though it goes without saying, I feel obliged to mention spoilers for pretty much every installment of the Dark Seeker Saga follows in these five videos!

Because this one's unique, I won't be doing my usual story blurbs here. Instead, I'll be time stamping the pieces for your convenience! Of course, it's a dice roll how the YouTube bots are gonna react to the songs in particular, so if any specific Disney song (or Sanctuary, more to the point) is suddenly silenced, know that's the reason it's muted or removed and it wasn't my intention beyond keeping these videos viewable. International music copyrights are a mess, even more so for music-based titles.

This game'll be more edited than my usual efforts, being a rhythm game and all that, as I wanted to showcase Proud Mode to the best of my ability, so you'll be getting all Full Chains here. Know that oftentimes while it'll say I only played some of these on Proud once, be assured that I'm often retrying them a handful of times until I finally get that Full Chain. I'll be splicing in my best playthroughs on Proud Mode during my first two weeks with MoM while also inserting specific pieces where they aren't normally playable in the World Tour story mode to round out the playlist.

I hope you enjoy this musical trip down Dark Seeker Saga Lane!
