Whether it's in the form of Roxas or The Other Promise, one thing is true-- if there's one theme in this franchise that everyone loves, it's this one. But what makes it work, and how do all the different versions across the years set each other apart? Who were the musicians besides Shimomura who contributed to building some of its most iconic renditions? What is the legacy of Roxas's theme when it comes to the music of Kingdom Hearts as a whole?
Today, I'll be going through the answers to all of these different questions!

Really enjoyed your analysis as always.  I didn't know the Drammatica version was not Yoko's arrangement, but I've always found the "bridge" part as you call it in your video to be really epic. I also think you summed it up perfectly about how reflective the themes are of the character's personality and what he's feeling. Oh and it was also nice to hear different renditions of the theme from various concerts, I didn't realize how much it had appeared outside of soundtracks and the games themselves.
