User:Aid1043

   

Hello!

I'm Aid1043 (they/them), a moderator on the wiki. (My name is pronounced "Aid One-Oh-Four-Three", or you can also just call me Aid.) My primary focus is on music tracks, spin-offs, and merchandise, though I do various other things around here as well.

Outside of the wiki, I run a YouTube channel with a focus on exploring lost and obscure Kingdom Hearts media. I made a video documenting Kingdom Hearts figurines, please check it out →

I also own the original Kingdom Hearts coded, because you don't.

Current business

Project: Merchandise -Revival-

If you'll indulge me with the project name for a moment: I'm working on expanding the wiki's coverage of officially licensed merchandise, as was the goal of the original Project: Merchandise. Why do we cover only 8 of the 23 different lines of figurines? Why does Hot Topic have its own page, but not any other designer? Why do we have artwork from the SuperGroupies collaboration, but no mention of the actual products? The goal of the project is to cover all official Kingdom Hearts merchandise, as outlined in this template.

I've compiled most of the merchandise that isn't already covered on the wiki into a spreadsheet, excluding the literal hundreds (thousands?) of Hot Topic / BoxLunch products. In doing so, I've covered everything ever mentioned on KH13 and Siliconera, at least four versions of the ever-changing Square Enix e-STORE, four different figurine and pin collector databases, everything on Japanese retailers AmiAmi and Aitai Kuji, and a decent number of other designers and manufacturers.

Trivia

There are some pieces of Kingdom Hearts trivia that are unfit for actual wiki articles, but personally interesting to me, and maybe to you as well.

• As far as I can tell, LINE: Disney Tsum Tsum is the only instance in which Disney officially refers to the series as『Kingdom Hearts』rather than『KINGDOM HEARTS』.
• Some interesting notes from the Kingdom Hearts Magical Puzzle Clash files:
  • The internal name for the game is 358/2 Days Special Puzzle Game (king_spl_pzl_358daysspecialpuzzlegame).
  • One file (the Keyblade mouse sprite) has metadata referencing Wizards of Waverly Place: Magic Duel, a similar Disney flash game (wiz_spl_pzl_wizardsmagicduel).
  • Much of the code is commented in Spanish – even some files and variables have Spanish names, such as the orange menu background ("bgNaranja").
  • The internal spell names don't match up with the real ones. Noteworthy differences include Remedy (counter_spell), Remove Spell (remove), Silence (brother_help), and Remove (super_brother_help).
• Notes from the Kingdom Hearts Melody of Memory files:
  • It seems like "The Encounter" was originally intended to be the KHII version instead of the KHBBS one. The internal ID is grouped with the other KHII battle themes (between "Rowdy Rumble" and "Sinister Shadows"), and the Collector's Card Pack of the Boss Battle version is still with the KHII tracks as well.
  • It's no secret that the KHIII stuff was rushed, and sure enough it's all tacked onto the end of every internal list. The end of the music ID list also has Disney songs, Utada songs, Co-Op stages, and the Field Battle versions of Boss Battles; nothing surprising there. But for some reason, "Destiny's Force" is also in this last group, suggesting it was added pretty late in development.
  • "Wonder of Electron" and "No More Bugs!!" are grouped with the Twilight Town tracks in a Collector's Card pack, meaning that neither stage is capable of dropping Data-Sora or Data-Riku.

Opinions

Here's a rough tier list (of my personal opinion), which is mostly an excuse to practice MediaWiki table formatting. Don't take it too seriously.
