The Greatest Video Game Music 2 To Feature Kingdom Hearts!

Remember "Fate of the Unknown"? You know, the fantastic song Yoko Shimomura composed for Birth By Sleep, the secret ending in Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, yet was not featured in the game with the same title? Yeah, we all remember it. It was gorgeous, emotive, and powerful, setting the mood for the battle the three armored keyblade wielders were in against the mysterious helmeted figure and old Xehanort. "Fate of the Unknown" is definitely considered one of Shimomura's greatest compositions yet in the Kingdom Hearts series, and it isn't just the fans who agree!

The London Philharmonic Orchestra will be performing "Fate of the Unknown", along with other iconic and renowned video game music like "One-Winged Angel" from Final Fantasy VII and the main theme theme from Chrono Trigger, on The Greatest Video Game Music 2 album which releases on November 6th 2012!

Below is the full tracklisting:

  1. Assassin's Creed: Revelations - Main Theme
  2. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - Far Horizons
  3. The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker - Dragon Roost Island
  4. Castlevania - A Symphonic Poem
  5. Final Fantasy VII - One-Winged Angel
  6. Mass Effect 3 - A Future for the Krogan/An End Once And For All
  7. Halo - Never Forget/Peril
  8. Sonic the Hedgehog - A Symphonic Suite
  9. Chrono Trigger - Main Theme
  10. Luigi's Mansion - Main Theme
  11. Metal Gear Solid 3 - Snake Eater
  12. Street Fighter II - A Symphonic Suite
  13. Kingdom Hearts - Fate of the Unknown
  14. Super Metroid - A Symphonic Poem
  15. Diablo III - Overture
  16. Batman: Arkham City - Main Theme
  17. Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Icarus Main Theme
  18. Fez - Adventure
  19. Portal - Still Alive
  20. Little Big Planet - Orb Of Dreamers (The Cosmic Imagisphere)

I can't think of a better song to represent KH on that list <3

But then again, I'm extremely biased because Fate of the Unknown is my favorite.

Dragon Roost island? That song never gets old for me, then again a lot of the tracks from Windwaker were really good, and fate of the unknown? what an excellent choice it is pretty iconic, whenever I hear that song that whole battle/secret ending cutscene just plays in my head lol. I'll be looking forward to hearing those two songs later on.

you know, I only just noticed Kingdom Hearts is really the only game on the list with a subtitle for the game the track's in, but doesnt have the subtitle.

edit; i should've read the whole article. Saw the first sentence, and immediately thought "Fate of the Unknown" was the world music for Keyblade Graveyard. lol I think I like that a little better, though Fate is one of my favorites.

Great song. Totally deserves this accolade. Honestly, if there were only a few songs I could pick to represent KH, this would be one of them.

I am so happy Fate of the Unknown was chosen! Definitely one of the best KH songs. Now I have to go listen to it for the millionth time. :D

As much as 13th Struggle is my favorite KH song overall, in terms of a song done LIVE, I think the songs like Fate of the Unknown or Destati that can have that creepy gospel in the background will easily top anything else, and I like Fate of the Unknown better than Destati. Does anyone know if they go on concert playing these songs because I would love hearing Fate of the Unknown live with the KH2 Final Mix secret ending full playing on a giant screen, by far my favorite KH cutscene of all time, so much hype, only so many minutes.

P.S. lol at LittleBigPlanet being on the list, I never saw LBP as having really nice orchestrated music, but after listening to that song, I have to admit, LBP does have a nice soundtrack :)
