Final Fantasy VII - The Sandy Badlands [HQ]

[drfeelgud88]

This was pretty much what I heard almost the whole time I was grinding on Land Worms through the desert.

Then Joe appeared to rescue me and take me back to the prison, but I would decline :p

[papojr11]

Bear grillis adventure theme

[neotev]

Oh my gosh it took me so dang long to get out of there. I almost ripped my hair out

[KilliFeyzoo]

this songs gets me to play the game once again

[DFMike73]

For a second I thought the title said "The Sandy Badlands"

[peepsmasterflex]

@DFMike73 me2

[thepliosar1]

@DFMike73 What do you mean?

[Crebralassassin]

i love this song, it has such a desolate and western theme to it, its to appropriate.

[1991jmoney]

My disc 2 is cracked fml

[Itazura960]

@1991jmoney The airlines cracked one of mine :(.

[Skyshattered]

This is one of those hidden gem songs. Absolutely fantastic.

[helterXXXXskelter]

bought the guide after getting stuck in that god forsaken desert lol. i remember this tune all too well...

[WindCarried]

wait...hold on...okay...go

[TheXXLethal]

It was such a relief when the Chocobo carriage would finally show up.

[X8802]

@TheXXLethal Thank you! I f$%#in thought I was crazy. Only found it once..

[TheXXLethal]

@X8802 Yea haha I know you find him once get lost again and you think your fucked. Luckiny he shows up no matter what though as long as I think you keep heading east? I think it was EAst not sure though.

[ZidaneTribal93]

Beautiful.

[ARABEMONEYYEAH]

=D

[Made4542]

OHHH We went though the desert on a horse with no name

[secretagent41]

I ran through the Desert for 10 years non stop without no food and water, and man i was Hungry when i found a Town, I ate it's whole food supply in less than an Hour lol

[janelpopp]

This kinda reminds me of the Gerudo Valley song from the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

[ChickenWing575]

@janelpopp I can see the similarities, but still man, this is totally a song that reminds me of being lost to the point of desperation, no hope in sight.

[ChickenWing575]

@ChickenWing575 Wereas, Geurdo valley is definitely upbeat and adventurous.

[Onoku1690]

Music of True Despair

[HanaYooHoo6]

This sounds like something in Pokemon mystery dungeons o.O

[sleeming88]

This just reminds of that creepy bloke who followed you around the prison and just laughed like a derranged maniac whenever you talked to him.

[iriuz2]

Largest waste of time ever... DAMN!

[Neobahamut0zero]

Whheeerrreee''sss the damn carriage!?!?!

[EWil313]

You think the healthcare crisis is bad in America.

If you're shot in the hand while hanging on the cliff's edge, you'll dead....

Or you have a hand that shoots bullets so masturbating is out of the question.....

And so, you go crazy.....

And that's how Dyne lost his mind.

[thepliosar1]

@EWil313 What the hell man?

[EWil313]

Crazy-ass mofos over there...

[JackMorganUK1]

I always thought this would fit a big prison like Alcatraz, or Guantanamo Bay. Then again, this played in a prison, so that was kind of pointless to say, when Uematsu is involved.

[IronRooRoo]

@JackMorganUK1 This theme depicts an isolated, barren, beat-up place. Not the (former for Alcatraz) high-tech, maximum security institutions that you mentioned. I suppose you also think a modern song with lyrics is alright to put in a period piece, because 'the lyrics are related'. Eat some arse.

[JackMorganUK1]

@IronRooRoo It could also depict isolated, barren, beat-up people, for instance, prisoners. And I hate modern music. No need to be so rude.

[TheFLFreak]

@IronRooRoo Jesus christ, what crawled up your ass?

[IronRooRoo]

@TheFLFreak Your cock. Fat cunt.

[jdcolemanjr]

@IronRooRoo we really don't need to know you like cock up your ass. lol

[IronRooRoo]

@jdcolemanjr TheFLFreak needs to know. He asked what's up my arse. :]

[WrathofBong420]

GOD DAMN I FUCKEN LOVE THIS SONG no joke

[a50745]

The piano mix inspired me to make a remake of sorts. Logic...really has some incredible instruments. When I finish it I'll share a link. You guys gotta hear what I'm hearing.

[a50745]

Found the midi file for this and loaded it into Logic with the respective VSTi instruments, virtual analog synths, etc. I sat frozen still as the emotions came across more powerfully. I dug out the playstation and luckily a save point wasn't too far behind this part of the game. During the scene/fight with Dyne I muted the volume on the TV and played the logic version over my studio setup.

I consider myself a man in all, but my eyes got watery during it. Not afriad to admit it. Powerful scene..

[UchihaGamer111]

Guy: Want to go up?

Cloud: Yeah up!

[snakeviper008]

We love it here. We love it here. We love it here.

[clang220]

Lost in the desert, fighting nothing but sand worms (god they were tough too I game overed from them a lot). Going Left, Right, Up and down the screen. Completely lost. Then with luck I found the Chocobo carriage we're saved!

[ragnorokh]

Best soundtrack in the entire game, hands down.

[bluestreek004]

"These hands are a little too stained to carry Marlene anymore..." Dyne :(

[MizterConfuzing]

this game has such good music

[RichardBatchelor86]

I love this soundtrack so much. Nobuo Uematsu is the reason I started writing music, I heard his music 14 years ago and haven't stopped writing since.

[saitodono88]

this song will always remind of that creepy pervert that stalks you while you're in that god-forsaken prison. that for me, was the creepiest event in the entire game. sheez! -_-

[elonna229]

@saitodono88 I dunno. Don corneo air humping and then leaping onto tifa was quiet scary. I was sat there thinking... I hope this dosnt affect your fighting ability bitch :P

[DJYuzoboy]

This plays when your in jail...

[AnotherMe21]

I fuckin' love the part that sounds like a door slamming and echoing. I would always look left and right to the echoes.

[Tyroneroane16]

@lukie117 I also get lost in the desert when I was a liitle kid.

[goldenphoenixnaruto]

I remember talking to one of the guys, they laughed, and then started following me around. I was like, "O_O Rape... RAPE! Aaah! -runs away futilly-"

[lukie117]

i was running through the desert for hours lol

[vickysauruz]

@lukie117 no way, for HOURS? XD

[animeisawsome5]

@lukie117 do you know how to get out of there? (is stuck there and thinks that the guy who got killed was the guy who I was supposed to talk to) and did you even get out of there?

[jamiebutcher91]

@lukie117 so many hours....

[Jostra123]

@lukie117 You just keep running east.

[Itazura960]

@lukie117 I was to lol.

[lazyparrott]

@lukie117 Lol @ u running in the desert for hours, man u like this and desert, check out Final Fantasy xi - Altepa Desert theme!!!!

[kittenfairy2011]

@lukie117 lol



[AZ09astrophysicist]

Mojave desert music

[RYANSCRAZYVIDS7]

reminds me of my loneliness bein by my self and avin no one to care for me

[takerguymaster]

@RYANSCRAZYVIDS7 Kinda resembles the mood of my mind right now...

[LPN00b]

@RYANSCRAZYVIDS7 Chin up fellow FF7 fan.

[maximusthecockatiel]

This song plays in my math class

[Onoku1690]

@maximusthecockatiel NO TALKING!!!

[Tekudo]

If I get deployed to the middle east, I want to hear this tune.

[skroid02]

I was listening to this song while watching a spider walk across the lighted ceiling panel among other dead spiders and bugs, and he kept circling among his dead comrades....life was changed forever.

[Firefromheaven906]

@skroid02

O-O Fascinatingly horrifying. That's pure weirdness right there.

[EntropicMisanthropic]

@skroid02 Kind of a fitting metaphor for Dyne's existence in Corel, I'd say.

A "dead" man who is already dead on the inside yet still alive, king of the graveyard that used to be his home town but now holds the ruins of everything he ever knew or loved, just walking around like a corpse that still breathes, looking for a chance to die.

[Firefromheaven906]

I was so happy whenever that chocobo trolley popped up and I was lost. XD

Then I got older and went right.

[clang220]

@Firefromheaven906 yeah i always get pwned by the sand worm always trying to run for it then the chocobo carrige came and saved me.

[gb24uk]

RaikonXion........One day you will wake up and relise it's all gone! somedays i see these old games and they make me think of how things used to be. I just feel like drinking whenever I see these old games

[gb24uk]

RaikonXion......You are living in the past! Change the channel from yesterday! The days of gaming are OVER!!!!! LET IT GO!!!!

[endOsS1]

i dont know why but this is one of me favorites ... i remember stayin in badlands only to hear this music :) ... now i play poker and listen to this ... waitin for me chance ;D then i know it comes ... *whistle ..

[LukasAuton]

So I played this today and took the first right. I immediately came upon Dyne. How did I suck so much as a kid?

[xDejahx]

i was lost in this desert for fucking EVER!

[RaikenXion]

It would be amazing if Square would have gone ahead with their plans and re-made FF7, it is THE best FF game ever, and one of THE best games ever made. Playing this game in awesome 3D, nex-gen graphics would be absolutely amazing, running around midgar, through the train-station, re-visiting all the places we remember from that game, in stunning HD, Imagine heading up to the Shinra building looking up at it, just like Cloud does. They would need to keep ALL the msuic the same though.

[jmar505]

@RaikenXion ABSOLUTELY, THE MUSIC, GAME PLAY AND BATTLES SHOULD COMPLETELY REMAIN, ALL THEY NEED TO DO IS MODERNIZE THE GRAFIX AND RELEASE IT FOR THE 360 AND PS3!!! DO IT NOW OR i'LL BURN DOWN YOUR VILLAGE IF I GROW GREY HAIR BEFORE YOU DO, YOU'LL BE SORRY SQUARE! (lol...jk...or AM I?!) (Cue the "One winged angel" track. *laffs maniacally)

[RaikenXion]

@jmar505 Yeh I agree!!! and think I'll listen 2 that song next. Hey, we shud start a petition for "Square" 2 re-make FF7 :)

[KillWithHeadshots]

@RaikenXion I hope they will never remake FF7. You can't remake a work of art.

[RaikenXion]

@KillWithHeadshots Maybe. At the same time, you can re-introduce a classic to a whole new Generation.

[SouljaBoiQueer]

where is this song used in the game again?

[dem0nk1d123]

@SouljaBoiQueer

Corel prison 

[SouljaBoiQueer]

@dem0nk1d123 oh

[ragnorokh]

this music gives this...sadness, like no tmrw type feeling, and i love it.

[Made4542]

Ugh this area was annoying, looking pass the point that you had people stalking you in the place lol

[xmiiaxxlambertx]

@decoyoctopusra I know it's so sad Dyne&Barrets scene and I mostly know everything of FF7 the game cuz i think I played it more than 10 or 12 times lol..

[kilala1148]

lol the first time I played this I got so frustrated cause I could figure out what to do -w- But I was 4 and could read just enough to get it

[Mysticsloth]

it's so cool how you can hear the cicades or grasshoppers in background as part of the music XD

[Robben911back]

This is the well known "phone music"

[SMRPGFAN101]

I love the similarity in this theme compared to Shadow's theme. This one represents the heat of the desert and the feeling of no escape in a desolate land. Anyone else think of the guys telling lies sort of like Zozo's folk?

[xmiiaxxlambertx]

"Even if i go back, Marlene won't regonize me..."

[decoyoctopusra]

@xmiiaxxlambertx Just reading that one sentence made a tear drop on my keyboard... Dyne/Barret's scene was about as emotionally poignant as Aries's demise...

[teleporterofdoom]

I hated the badlands... Mostly because you could never go back once you've left.

[gt22]

I used to go to "sleep" in that vehicle of some sort and it would replenish my party's hp - but it would also increase its capacity slightly.

[jdklaffke14]

This song does not get boring even though it's the same thing over and over. It's great background music for the homework I'm doing.

[cedrickdbz]

Doing hard time.

[madneo87]

Nobuo is by far the best game music composer in the world!

His music got me hooked along with the great story and diverse characters.

[ShadowHoang]

@DickKnowsBest Nightmares are sexy. this osng is sexy it works out XD

[Pezablez]

This song does create a good atmosphere. Good memories in the desert.

[Kichigokun]

This music brings a lonely tear in my eye.

It always reminds me that one scene with Dyne and Barret.

Barret: Marlene is alive! She's in Midgar!

Dyne: So, she's alive...

Barret: Let's go, Dyne. Let's go back together and see Marlene.

Dyne: No, Barret. I cannot hold Marlene with these blood-stained hands. Take care of her for me.

*Dyne commits suicide*

Barret: No!! Dyne, my hands aren't any cleaner than you but I hold her like she was my own child.

[Pwells1]

Actually the line is more like "These hands are a bit too stained to hold Marlene anymore"

[cpope101]

@Pwells1 Barret: "My hands aren't any cleaner"

[SomeSunshineOutside]

Wow, I've been looking for this melody...finally found it. But tell me: Is there another song not quite like this but still pretty much the same? I don't mean the remake of this song in mp3.

[AngelLikesMoney]

I remember how I used to remain in the desert to listen to this tune...good memories.

[man34dog56]

i love thi s song i think i have bad memorize about my life and this game

[crying] i love this damn game so much

[enserio8]

Oh the desert... how much do I hate that part of the game...

Too sandy...

but the music is awesome. So...how should I say it "lonely?"

[Xiny0ung]

more than five stars. love it. .. whole ffii soundtrack.

[thedarknessrules312]

oh yes and also you can get a ribbon in the temple of the ancients where the erm clock room or room of time or whatever lol but yeah its not hard to miss in one of them rooms it will take you to a chest that has one inside lol.

it can be difficult to morph a romberry because you cant sense them to see there HP.

[thedarknessrules312]

its easy to complete the game but breading the chocobo's and gettin some of the materia's are quite hard IF you dont use any walkthrough/guide to help you. that cactuar i never managed to find it in this desert but there is a little isleland off one of the mainlands that has a cactuar that comes along very frequent i dont remember how much it drops though and i never manages to run away :P .

[Bateleur5]

Have you ever tried to morph a Cactuar? You get a very powerful accessory called a "Tetra Elemental" which nullifies damage from Fire, Ice, Lightning, and Earth magic.

[thedarknessrules312]

yeah i did know that :) same with morphing a tomberry you get a ribbon which is an accesorie that stops any abnormality like small, sleep, petrify and so on which is very usefull.

[StrangeSol27]

i wish i could give it more than a five.

[spartalis]

i love this music! <3

[MillionSword]

I felt sorry for Dyne

[kiefer23]

Yep, living alone all those years in the barren wastelands with the thoughts of all his loved ones including Marlene (Who didn't die) killed by Shinra, snapped his mind. I would have to replay it again to remember what exactly happened as it was awhile ago and i was young :P

[666user666]

best game ever made

[shikamaruw]

LOL ALLI AY UN ACOSADOR! XD

[animeguy24]

i heard there's a like 20,000 Gil lizard thing in the desert if you kill it. it runs away during the battle.

[zerox665]

Maybe your thinking of Cactuar.

Cactuar is a cactus that is slightly rare in the desert, and if you kill it you get 10,000 gil

[zakor33]

probably way to beat it is to use the knights of the round. that wtf pwns anything but its hard to get cause you need to breed a gold chocobo

[mm70969]

u should try to get a walkthroght guide thts how i got the gold chocobo :D BUT!!! i already completed the game before getting it so dnt think im a cheat XD

[pin2win09]

i made a video explaing all the basics you'll need for the extras in this game look it up in my profile its called gaming basics

[Stillmoretherogue]

i stayed in this area till i got sick of running in circles :) i loves this songs

[MeitanteiHiryuu]

heehee, my rule of thumb is to stay as still as possible in this area and run in a straight line to my goal... i HATE the theives who attack you XD

[kimballkinison]

Awesome song

[sephiroth2]

I love this song
