Can we not ruin the greatest masterpiece ever composed by arguing? Mozart couldn't come up with a better song then this. Everybody just shut up, sit back and listen to the best song in one of the greatest games of all time. Thank you.
My favorite game of all time. The art in this game was beautiful. The backgrounds they used were so vibrant and interesting and had this great painted look with an artstyle of a Ghibli Studios movie. And of course, another great soundtrack by Uematsu that is more melodic than ambient, which is his style, nails the tone of each stage of the game perfectly, painting each stage with perfectly in sync relevant emotions.
Who is the creator of Final Fantasy IX? I want to thank him for justifying my childwood with the best game i've ever played in my life, for all the emotion in game, for all the references that this game gave to me that helped me to be the man I am today. Thank you very much my friend, that God be with you in the end : )
If you want to hear themes of the same kind, I compose of it regularly. I try to make musics which highlight the feelings and I have some of it which are estimated. You can already go to listen to it on my channel.
The great highlight from that amazing double, hironobu sakaguchi and nobuo uematsu when the background and the deeds of the character were more important than how cool his hair looks, also that beautiful mix of happiness and sadness which they created, deep thoughts, deep feelings, a deep game by itself, a true masterpiece.
I remember when I was a kid and it was around 6 pm and darkness had fell down on ground level. It was New Years Eve and I sat down on my chair playing this game, I arrived at Memoria while it was gently snowing outside. My room was filled with an odd eerie feeling. I had a break and went outside taking a walk and listening to fireworks. Slowly walking back home I saw through my window and I could see my TV and the menu screen. Nostalgia :( I will never forget that memory.
@Robben911back Im actually quite sane, and FF7 was absolute garbage. The story line made me very angry and I just stopped. i'de rather play Crazy Bus than FF7
@bicycleboy55 I do not understand how that storyline could make you angry. It is an amazing masterpiece. Everything is made so brilliantly. But whatever, I respect your taste.
I really love how the previous scene sets up Memoria. Loud, bombastic scene where our heroes are on their way to the final battle. Things seem hopeless as a swarm of dragons are approving then WHAM! the Cid, Tantalus, and Beatrix swoop in for a showdown with some sweetness and camaraderie. They break on through for an exciting boss battle and then...
silence. Then this song slowly fills the air and the scene is calm again. Ooooh man.
I love how this song gives you the sense that the game is about to end in a rather "revealing" manner what with all the history being shown in this place..But then, the crystal world pops in and changes the atmosphere BIG TIME!! (Add an overpowered FINAL BOSS to that notion)
@victor020203 I ask myself every day how they could have destroyed a perfect series like this...I loved them 'till IX. X was good, after all...XII was mediocre...XIII was simply shit.
I'm a big fan of final fantasy, if anyone wants to discuss final fantasy and it's music etc, please take a look at my blog and post something. It's for people who appreciate just how awesome and amazing final fantasy is.
I got my copies of FF VII and IX recently and playing them again after more than 10 years and still love them.
For me are these games something more, than usual game. It's an image of one whole gamers generation with briliant stories, characters, deep thoughts and beautiful unforgetable music.
Game creators should focus on these aspects again, instead of ultrarealistic graphics.
Listening to this makes me realise that one day all we are doing here will be nothing but memories. From these posts to this video to ourselves and to our entire universe, will be nothing but forgotten memories in the ancient past. I wonder what the distant future will remember about this time period? I wonder whether it will be distorted and even surreal, just like Memoria :)
@Ss1mega Before this game he made entire OSTs essentially by himself. Some people think this game may have overworked him to the point of him not being able to keep composing at this level. This OST (and the PLUS ost) makes up over a hundred and fifty tracks collectively, all excellent, and quite a few even orchestrated. I can't think of a single game with this many unique songs, let alone entirely by ONE composer on ONE project.
@Antiformed Yes, when I played this game I noticed every new location I went to the BGM was very unique. To every location. The feeling I get just hearing the music its just so nostalgic. Honestly for a video game song to do it, its speechless. Im sure Im not the only one. But really this game is great and the OST is great. I miss my ps1 days...
Unbelievable....there is simply no words to express this outcry of emotion....it brings me to my knees in my mind....the chords, the total overall feel....it is unexplainable.....
I feel like this is the theme that really embodies our nostalgia of Squaresoft, as we watch the slowly burning empire of Square collapse under its own mistakes...
@Antiformed Wtf Squaresoft? You're an idiot, it's Square Enix. :/ the entire Final Fantasy story was designed, and is owned by SE, where did you get Square Soft from? go do your research.
@Azurashei ... Your comment just made me die a little inside, man.
Square Enix is the result of a merger which happened after the release of Spirits Within. When Square made good games like FFIX, they were still called "Squaresoft" and Tetsuya Nomura was not in charge like he is now. He was a monster designer and part time character artist.

@Azurashei Sorry, but YOU are the one who should do your research. It is Squaresoft. That guy under is right. Why attack him? Poor fellow. Square-soft has made all Final Fantasies up to the 10th I assume. Now Square-soft has merged with Enix.
Anyway, I may be wrong, but in this case Final Fantasy is produced and made by SQUARE-SOFT. I hate people like you who attack people without proper evidence.
@Robben911back Yah. It just seems like so much time has passed since Final Fantasy was still amazing. Now it's kind of just point and click instead of run around do this, go find this, figure out this riddle and all that good stuff. I'm happy i have emulators to play the old ones over again :D
i was this game in the middle of the nite and i reached memoria for the 1st time and when i heard this music..i saw my memories of my past come 2 me...it sent chills down my spine
this is my favorite theme of dungeon among all dungeons out there in FF series, the settings is mysterious and the atmosphere gives you unexpected memories and you are lament of that. To sum up, it's a masterpiece of merging of agony and darkness.
@rainza2008 I played this game from the beginning again couple months back and it still has that same great feeling.... truly one of the best RPGs to be made... a pity now these RPGs focus on graphic so much
Im 14. when i was 6 i always saw my brother play ff7 8 and 9 I never played them because at the time i was interested in mario. a few months ago we got the ps3 slim and they downloaded ff7 8 9 off psn store.... i now know what i was missing out on. these games are amazing :D
Thank you, guys. Im appreciating to have my comment top rated...I am a huge FF fan and love the games. Im very glad that you guys liked my description of how I felt on New Years Eve while at Memoria. Huge memory that I will never forget. As of today I still have the picture of me sitting there in my dark room playing it while fireworks were crackling outside.
you know what i hated about this place? how the boss fights showed up as random encounters. like, you're just walking along and then BOSS FIGHT. it freaking sucked!
@erhablablam I would say so, but don't forget that it had so "few" things cause it had many FMVs including the infintration to memoria and the ending scene. But still it was an awesome game. The only three things that "survived" though were Vivi in Kingdom Hearts II and Zidane and Kuja in Dissidia and 012...
Two bad that both of the new games had absolutely no storyline... I mean come on! Light and Darkness in one and Cosmos and Chaos in another? It just sucks!
this is such a meaningful track which is probably what makes it so good, but at the same time even if you didnt know what area it was from in the game or indeed even what game it was from it still has that same haunting but beautiful effect.
@MiraLove Most definitely, I think it's a lot more amazing when they keep the music for the boss fights/random encounters for certain parts of the game. Like in FF7 with Aeris' theme and you fight Jenova.
I played this game so much when I was a kid a long time ago, and yet I can remember the feelings, the atmosphere and joy I felt when I played, and that´s enough to make me want to play ffix again,YEAH.
After replaying this recently, the atmosphere is just as strong as it was the first time. Although slightly different because now I understood the more adult themes of life and death, lost to never be returned better that are part of this area in the game.
I love the Melody/Beat that starts at 1:30 That was my favorite part in the song while playing the game. I always stayed in the cave for like 2 to 3hours, just listening to that melody. But then i realized that i was wasting my time, So i rushed out of there before the music could take me.......Jese!! Why does it have to be so addictive??? O.o
it's not the same play this game when you are a teen that when you grow..its different, the fellings, the emotions, the intensity, all its completely different...you now when i hear this song i remember all those good memories
@ecos715 i still can enjoy those memories! I have the game! :') and i promise I WILL TAKE EXTREME GOOD CARE OF IT! LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE WITH MY GAMES!...even now 17 yrs old....i love that game more than my parents LONG LIVE FINAL FANTASY...7,8,9
@ecos715 I understand what you mean. The game and the memories are tied to a specific time. Playing it over doesn't bring back the same feeling. But its still worth playing over.
@MissPiddelin I got tired of FPS so I bought final fantasy 7 - 9 on the playstation store I'm currently playing them man I missed playing them I was in middle school when I played them its been about 10 years or so and I still remember where to go lol
I remember when I was a kid and it was around 6 pm and darkness had fell down on ground level. It was New Years Eve and I sat down on my chair playing this game, I arrived at Memoria while it was gently snowing outside. My room was filled with an odd eerie feeling. I had a break and went outside taking a walk and listening to fireworks. Slowly walking back home I saw through my window and I could see my TV and the menu screen. Nostalgia :( I will never forget that memory.
@Robben911back Listen. Nostalgia is better than real life. We cray cheap tears for the old days. It's not even so much as the moment itself, as who we were when we experienced it.
@Robben911back Damn dude. I dunno why, but I can visualize that so well. I had similar nostalgia when I was a kid. I would watch my big brother play through Final Fantasy VII all the time. It never got boring. So I discovered I still had the copy he had and played through it when I was about 13. 7 years later. It got me hooked on the series. So I came across this game a few weeks ago at a local game store for 25 bucks. Still in the process of playing it. It's not as good as FFVII but damn close
@Robben911back Yeah. I will never forget the feelings of my first playthrough... it was like MAGIC! no video game ever seemed that good....(probably because they are only making 1st person shooters now...)
@HomoForever Fool. Music is known throughout the world as the single most emotive factor for a human. What we feel when we listen to a piece of music, what it makes you think, this is what a good piece of music will mold for you. Do you think that films and games have huge music budgets for nothing? Do you think that the names Mozart and Bach are famous for writing mere tunes? No. They are famous because of the range of emotions they could invoke in their listeners.
My ex used to watch me play this game in the living room when we were still together. Sometimes I play this song to remind myself of the day I played this area and she watched and we talked. One of our last happy times together. Makes me choke up with sadness.

@rainza2008 I played this game from the beginning again couple months back and it still has that same great feeling.... truly one of the best RPGs to be made... a pity now these RPGs focus on graphic so much

Thank you, guys. Im appreciating to have my comment top rated...I am a huge FF fan and love the games. Im very glad that you guys liked my description of how I felt on New Years Eve while at Memoria. Huge memory that I will never forget. As of today I still have the picture of me sitting there in my dark room playing it while fireworks were crackling outside.

you know what i hated about this place? how the boss fights showed up as random encounters. like, you're just walking along and then BOSS FIGHT. it freaking sucked!

@deidaracloud It wasn't really random it always occurred at a specific spot on the map.

Am I the only person who thinks disk 4 should have contained more ?
I mean, there's almost "just" Memoria in it. Compared to previous discs, it's strange...
Maybe they didn't need more for the story, but I WANTED MORE FF9 ! :-p
Could have played this for all my life ^^
erhablablam 7 months ago 4
@erhablablam I would say so, but don't forget that it had so "few" things cause it had many FMVs including the infintration to memoria and the ending scene. But still it was an awesome game. The only three things that "survived" though were Vivi in Kingdom Hearts II and Zidane and Kuja in Dissidia and 012...
Two bad that both of the new games had absolutely no storyline... I mean come on! Light and Darkness in one and Cosmos and Chaos in another? It just sucks!

this is such a meaningful track which is probably what makes it so good, but at the same time even if you didnt know what area it was from in the game or indeed even what game it was from it still has that same haunting but beautiful effect.

This has to be one of my favorite final dungeon themes in the series.
Birth.. Continuity and eventually death.

@MiraLove Most definitely, I think it's a lot more amazing when they keep the music for the boss fights/random encounters for certain parts of the game. Like in FF7 with Aeris' theme and you fight Jenova.

I played this game so much when I was a kid a long time ago, and yet I can remember the feelings, the atmosphere and joy I felt when I played, and that´s enough to make me want to play ffix again,YEAH.

@BigBangNeo
After replaying this recently, the atmosphere is just as strong as it was the first time. Although slightly different because now I understood the more adult themes of life and death, lost to never be returned better that are part of this area in the game.

I love the Melody/Beat that starts at 1:30 That was my favorite part in the song while playing the game. I always stayed in the cave for like 2 to 3hours, just listening to that melody. But then i realized that i was wasting my time, So i rushed out of there before the music could take me.......Jese!! Why does it have to be so addictive??? O.o

@ecos715 I understand what you mean. The game and the memories are tied to a specific time. Playing it over doesn't bring back the same feeling. But its still worth playing over.

I remember when I was a kid and it was around 6 pm and darkness had fell down on ground level. It was New Years Eve and I sat down on my chair playing this game, I arrived at Memoria while it was gently snowing outside. My room was filled with an odd eerie feeling. I had a break and went outside taking a walk and listening to fireworks. Slowly walking back home I saw through my window and I could see my TV and the menu screen. Nostalgia :( I will never forget that memory.

@Robben911back Listen. Nostalgia is better than real life. We cray cheap tears for the old days. It's not even so much as the moment itself, as who we were when we experienced it.
kdreamland 8 months ago
@Robben911back Damn dude. I dunno why, but I can visualize that so well. I had similar nostalgia when I was a kid. I would watch my big brother play through Final Fantasy VII all the time. It never got boring. So I discovered I still had the copy he had and played through it when I was about 13. 7 years later. It got me hooked on the series. So I came across this game a few weeks ago at a local game store for 25 bucks. Still in the process of playing it. It's not as good as FFVII but damn close

@HomoForever Fool. Music is known throughout the world as the single most emotive factor for a human. What we feel when we listen to a piece of music, what it makes you think, this is what a good piece of music will mold for you. Do you think that films and games have huge music budgets for nothing? Do you think that the names Mozart and Bach are famous for writing mere tunes? No. They are famous because of the range of emotions they could invoke in their listeners.
