I realise that this is a hard part to play, but there is no excuse for some of the mistakes this guy is making. His tempo changes are not even substantiated by the music. It sounds like he is sight reading it honestly. For such a large even they could have easily hired an organist capable of playing this part.
@Crezelda LOL You are a good Kefka's fanboy. All Final Fantasy Villains are awesome with diferent stories, don't have only Sephiroth and Kefka in Final Fantasy series
I don't care what anybody says Kefka was BY FAR easier to hate than Sephiroth. Truly the most evil out of any of the Final Fantasy villains, and this theme! Gives me chills every time I hear it! Don't get me wrong One Winged Angel is a masterpiece as well but you really feel like you're fighting a god with this song.
i was a piano major in college...took one semester of organ because i was interested in learning and it is a total mind screw...trust me...this organ part during the 3rd movement is insane to perform.
a Fanwar is the same thing as people arguing who the best football/soccer/basketball/hockey/baseball/ team is... just with people who transcend reality :D
Besides, hating the fanwar isn't going to make it go away. :P
Well i'm a fan of ff and all of them are i've already played... I can say that only ff1 is still not clear or the lowest rating, others are just equally rated... All ff games have different genre which I like... Now I can see that more people love sephiroth than kefka, and i think the reason is more people play ff7 than ff6, and they are just judging their expectation on dissidia...
Way to criticize on the sidelines about the organist, he is the only one there under the most pressure playing one of the most epic organ solos conceived....cut the guy some slack. Uematsu composed the music, but he still needed a team to help him play most of these epic tracks.
@Atomsk382 Agreed. I don't believe that any of the people making those comments have ANY idea how rediculously hard and complicated organ playing is. Yes, there were a few mistakes, but it's not like the whole thing came to a screeching shuddering halt or anything.
Why do I feel a negative energy flowing trough my body, the kind of energy that forces me to destroy everything I see, including myself... Some kind of psychotic energy... I dislike that feeling. Do you guys know someone to cure me of that energy? It would be appreciated.
@r4shka go someplace where there is a large concentration of negative ionic particles like a waterfall or near the ocean or take a LONG shower with lukewarm water or cold water. Try meditating to music that relaxes you. Avoid music that is made using electronically altered sounds that simulate real music.
I love this song, but this is the worst interpretation I've ever heard. The conductor's tempo changes are awful and so is that organ player. The Distant Worlds one is much better.
@willneubauer ur right, damn organist...well, arnie roth is a good conductor. he just had to work w a bad organist. or maybe the orchestra was feeling lazy cuz "this aint music" (i heard houston symphony members say that). but damn...this was a bad day
Seph had mother issues that would make Sigmund Freud have wet dreams.
Kefka...you love to hate that lil SOB. He didn't have a pretty face for the fangirls, and he didn't care: he didn't want to rule the world, he didn't want to become imortal, he didn't have any revenge plans.
He just wanted to F*** S*** up for the sake of F***ing S*** up. Nothing more, nothing less. Get his hands on some bad arsed magic and go and F*** S*** up.
This is an incredible piece. First time i played the game, i was so caught by the music, i forgot i was playing a game and my party got caught. It is great. Like Darth Vader, i hear a few notes and i associate it to Kefka right away.
This.... is probably the most epic thing i have ever heard, even after the drop in audio quality in this recording. I wish I could have been there personally because this is probably the best piece of vgm ever.
Some of the organ work failed on this rendition. Still brilliant and epic though. The vocals made me forget the electric guitar in other versions, and that's one hell of an acheivement.
@crlyxx My guess would be because there was singing throughout the entire song latin I believe (I read the song translated into english and it's pretty damn stupid sounding).
Well, you know the Dancing Mad lyrics, on that facebook page, were only guesses. (They probably had no knowledge of Latin and even most admitted that fact. The lyrics were probably transcribed by ear) so you can't blame them for at least trying on this huge piece. :/
well, if distant worlds in sydney plays this piece, and someone records it, it will probably show up, and due to the fact that youtube no longer mangles videos when uploaded (reduced picture quality, and mono sound, which is what all videos were back when this was uploaded), it will probably be better.
The Distant worlds sydney is on the 15th of april.
Organ is a difficult instrument to play, but the organist is supposed to be a professional. His sloppy playing is disgraceful, and takes so much away from the rest of this fantastic performance.
Sephiroth was gone at the end of FF7. Just as Kefka was gone at the end of FF6. Sephiroth was only revived because Square wanted more money. Until they released that retcon filled, anime-esque pile of trash they want to call Advent Children. That, combined with the even more pathetic Crisis Core, destroyed what was awesome about FF7. They butchered the entire story with their garbage.
Also, really, why are you here? This trolling has gone on since 1997. You're pretty late.
Uuuuh, you do your math. There are only 9 planets, IF you still count Pluto. Also, I refuse to believe that he actually did that. Considering it only does a pissy 4k damage, I think. If I remember right. I think all that was like SFX attacks from the start of FFIX.
Aside from that nonsense, Sephiroth is not all that powerful. Before you venture into the Northern Crater, Sephiroth was never awake. It was Jenova masquerading as Sephiroth. Jenova is the one who had all the power. All Sephiroth did was take the black materia, summon meteor, and by a chain of events via extreme mako, combined with the cosmic power of the black materia, transformed into a Seraph. Hence "One Winged Angel." The dude flies in circles for Christ sakes.
@SilvanNosty homosexual circles may I add! xDDD...Kefka is the best villain in Final Fantasy. Every villain tried to destroy the world...Kefka did (Exdeath is a close second...but his fondness over voids and turtles kinda stopped him from destroying the world xD)
Supernova is just an attack used in battle. Things done in-battle are not truly done to the universe the game is held within. Battles are on a separate plane of existence. Square even acknowledges this. They stated when developing FF13 (a little paraphrasing) "Battles are not as seamless as they are in FF12. Instead, as per-usual, battles will be transitioned by a screen, and take place in a separate universe, so to speak."
@ultimabladerxx I don't think Super Nova actually counts. I believe it was mainly used for dramatic effect since TECHNICALLY Earth would be destroyed as well and as far as I know, it's still there. So the other planets should indeed still be intact.
So when the world is coming to an end and you hear this song be expecting big things to happen, least before you get burn away by the light of judgment that is. lol
Both Sephiroth and Kefka are awesome in their own ways, I wonder when people'll learn they're incomparable and stop hating on characters from games they haven't even played? I really hate hate hate hate HATE this fanwar.
@pspgawdz Eh... Personally, for villainy in FF7. I look to Hojo rather then Sephiroth. Really, it's all Hojo's fault and his mad scientist meddling and manipulating of his superior's corporate goals caused all the trouble, paired with the natural debauchery of the town that was basically capitalized upon by Shinra corporation, which itself is the faceless villain of FF7.
Sephiroth was always just... kind of there.
Now Kefka... Now that's a freaking scary badass villain.
They're very comparable. Sephiroth is great for his fighting style and battle music, but that's it. Kefka's personality and the shit he did makes him a step above Seph.
@MasterHypnose It's not preferring one or the other I think doesn't make sense. There are good arguments on both sides. I don't like how some people can't like one without hating the other. If you think one is good, you don't necessarily have to think the other is bad, right?
- nah, it ruins the geeky fun if you don't hate one of them... I hate Sephiroth simply because fanboys come along and tell me he's better than Kefka :P and thus the fun begins!
@SolMasterzzz what made sephiroth so awesome was how much mystery was behind him. He was behind the scenes most of the game. You see a murdered politician and a bloodied corpse of a gargantuan snake. You enter Kalm and cloud spills his guts and your balls are blazed to charcoal with an epic interactive back story.
but yeah, dancing mad is better than one winged angel
Why is it with every dancing mad video I see the OWA sucks, or DM IS TEH GREATEST comments.
Lets admire these songs for what they show.
OWA- Sets up Sephy as a badass, which he is! Mission accomplished! It's a great song and much easier to hum to yourself.
DM- Much more complex and it tells Kefka's story,so overall a deeper experience. Great to listen to but I have problems remembering the song on my own.
davenhla, I couldn't have said it better myself. Just imagining the pure work put into this song, it has easily become one of the songs i have remembered the most, and never get tired of hearing.
The whole score from FF6 is worthy of being orchestrated, and would make an amazing concert. This piece gave me shivers. The fact Uematsu created a piece of music like this on/for something as limited as SNES flat out amazes me.
@LuizOtakuXD It hads nothing to do with that. We take offence when FF noobs who only played final fantasy since it came out on Sony act like Sephiroth is the god of FF villians when hes rather weak on a whole. most of the time Jenova is actually the one pretending to be Sephiroth.
@Nickdreadskull lol... damn true, dude... and even though one winged angel is cool, the theme it self doesn't suit Sephiroth's image... the song which's like terror, craziness, and "godlike being" stuff doesn't suit him... Kefka's the real badass... both one winged angel and dancing mad really represent Kefka... well, that's my opinion, though... but there are FF fans who haven't played FF classics who said that FF 7 is way better than FF 6 or the other FF series... well... I have to dissagree..
@graviron I totally agree on FF6 : better setting, story, characters, music, and villain. FF7 is a great RPG, probably one of the best of the franchise. but it cant compare to the emotional deepness and epic story of the 6. Kefka is a far more complex and insanely evil than Sephiroth which is more the "fallen angel" villain, I think that their themes both fits them perfectly... Anyway it is awesome to hear that play by a symphonic orchestra.
@cptOrgazmo I've always thought that FF7 got the reception it did because it was the first very well marketed FF outside Japan, being on Playstation. Prior to that, Japanese RPG was a niche market if you look back to earlier FF, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Warrior 4 etc. For most people in the mainstream FF7 was the one they "lost virginity" with. I see a tendency that those who were in the scene long before don't place FF7 on top of the pile. Still, a great game.
@Nickdreadskull they both give their own message and are both epic. you can't say one winged angel is better because one winged angel has a more villainy-evil sound, whereas this has a more epic-evil or demonic-evil sound.
god damn now thats awsome music. such POWER just hearing it. its like " ohh shit here he comes we are inn for a world of hurt". and kefka is like" I TRULY HATE YOU...YOU SHOULD GO AWAAAAY". and everybody dies:P and then he laughes.
god damn now thats awsome music. such POWER just hearing it. its like " ohh shit here he comes we are inn for a world of hurt". and kefka is like" I TRULY HATE YOU...YOU SHOULD GO AWAAAAY". and everybody dies:P
umm ... i kinda disagree with you guys ,,, one winged angel is ways best than dancing mad ,,,,,, because when i play one winged angel ,, i go along with the lyrics and the music ,,, BUT when i play dancing mad ,,, first i hear a 1 min from the organ part ,,, then i speed up to 11min to hear the best part of dancing mad!!! but i would give theme both (1winged angel and dancing mad) A 5 STAAAARS THUMPS UP
nope, but this video does not do it any justice at all. you realy needed to be there to get the full experiance (this video seems to be lacking a WHOLE lot of the lower tones that gave it a lot of impact)
@MasterTubeTheatre Which organ part? Oh, you mean the one that dominated the music all the way through all four parts of the song?... yeah, it was pretty amazing!
If you meant the solo... yeah, I can never wait for the piece to get to that part.
I realise that this is a hard part to play, but there is no excuse for some of the mistakes this guy is making. His tempo changes are not even substantiated by the music. It sounds like he is sight reading it honestly. For such a large even they could have easily hired an organist capable of playing this part.

You enter Kalm and cloud spills his guts and your balls are blazed to charcoal with an epic interactive back story.
but yeah, dancing mad is better than one winged angel

Why is it with every dancing mad video I see the OWA sucks, or DM IS TEH GREATEST comments.
Lets admire these songs for what they show.
OWA- Sets up Sephy as a badass, which he is! Mission accomplished! It's a great song and much easier to hum to yourself.
DM- Much more complex and it tells Kefka's story,so overall a deeper experience. Great to listen to but I have problems remembering the song on my own.
They're both great in their own ways.

davenhla, I couldn't have said it better myself. Just imagining the pure work put into this song, it has easily become one of the songs i have remembered the most, and never get tired of hearing.

The whole score from FF6 is worthy of being orchestrated, and would make an amazing concert. This piece gave me shivers. The fact Uematsu created a piece of music like this on/for something as limited as SNES flat out amazes me.

Always have a Fanboy that has to compare the Mad Dancing with the One Winged Angel.
These Kefka's fanboys can't live without compare Kefka with Sephiroth?

@LuizOtakuXD It hads nothing to do with that. We take offence when FF noobs who only played final fantasy since it came out on Sony act like Sephiroth is the god of FF villians when hes rather weak on a whole. most of the time Jenova is actually the one pretending to be Sephiroth.

@graviron this IS better than one winged angel
Nickdreadskull 1 year ago 27
@Nickdreadskull lol... damn true, dude... and even though one winged angel is cool, the theme it self doesn't suit Sephiroth's image... the song which's like terror, craziness, and "godlike being" stuff doesn't suit him... Kefka's the real badass... both one winged angel and dancing mad really represent Kefka... well, that's my opinion, though... but there are FF fans who haven't played FF classics who said that FF 7 is way better than FF 6 or the other FF series... well... I have to dissagree..
graviron 1 year ago
@graviron I totally agree on FF6 : better setting, story, characters, music, and villain. FF7 is a great RPG, probably one of the best of the franchise. but it cant compare to the emotional deepness and epic story of the 6. Kefka is a far more complex and insanely evil than Sephiroth which is more the "fallen angel" villain, I think that their themes both fits them perfectly... Anyway it is awesome to hear that play by a symphonic orchestra.
cptOrgazmo 1 year ago
@cptOrgazmo I've always thought that FF7 got the reception it did because it was the first very well marketed FF outside Japan, being on Playstation. Prior to that, Japanese RPG was a niche market if you look back to earlier FF, Chrono Trigger, Dragon Warrior 4 etc. For most people in the mainstream FF7 was the one they "lost virginity" with. I see a tendency that those who were in the scene long before don't place FF7 on top of the pile. Still, a great game.
jgrey 1 year ago
@Nickdreadskull they both give their own message and are both epic. you can't say one winged angel is better because one winged angel has a more villainy-evil sound, whereas this has a more epic-evil or demonic-evil sound.

umm ... i kinda disagree with you guys ,,, one winged angel is ways best than dancing mad ,,,,,, because when i play one winged angel ,, i go along with the lyrics and the music ,,, BUT when i play dancing mad ,,, first i hear a 1 min from the organ part ,,, then i speed up to 11min to hear the best part of dancing mad!!! but i would give theme both (1winged angel and dancing mad) A 5 STAAAARS THUMPS UP
