FFIX - Memoria (1) - Assault of the White Dragons

[Caliwayz]

This scene and song caught me off guard.

[toone787]

THIS SONG IS FUCKING AMAZING

[conorSullivan50]

The bit where all the Lindblum Airships come up all guns blazing is for me the most epic game play moment of all time. When I first played this game when i was a kid, this cutscene sent shivers down my spine - it was that good. Perfect musical score too.

[Kuradoberii]

@PerfectGenius23: Thank you so much for uploading. God, this game was good.

[Anuojat]

One of the msot badass bonechilling cutscenes of all time.

I know i cant make everyone on this earth to play this game, but if i could i would! :D

[OXG2221]

this scene in beyond epic .. along with pandemonium appearance (FF2) and the fight with the giant of babil (FFIV) and the apocalypse (FFVI) and the battle of Gardens (FFVIII)

[Illuva]

memoria is an art

[TheScottishRocker]

This Final Fantasy in particular is special to me. Due to it's Scottish references. Biased I know. :)

Alexandria is an actual place in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland.

Conde Petie - A village of crazy people talking funny Scottish.

The Inn at the Cleyra Tree uses the Scottish flag as it's bedcovers.

And finally, the airship coming through the mist in this trailer is proudly flying the Scottish flag. 1:08 mark.

[pepot119]

THIS IS THE COOLEST SCENE IN ALL FINAL FANTASY SERIES, IT'S LIKE "FINAL FANTASY IV" WHERE ALL PEOPLE FIGHTS FOR THE WAR AGAINST THE GIANT OF BABIL.. cool!!!! 7/5 stars!!

[NeoArashi]

@pepot119 It's no wonder, FFIX makes A LOT of reference from FFI to VIII

[SamFisherCell]

I really think the song should've continued to play during the boss fight.

[kennyscars456]

how the fuck did he make it wear health was restoring on its own

[PerfectGenius23]

@kennyscars456

Auto-regen ability.

[SuperYoshi1141]

@PerfectGenius23

what do you equip to learn it?

[nightbringer757]

Maybe it's just being nit picky but I hate how as soon as the boss fight starts the boss theme plays. It always kinda ruined the moment of a badass song and cutscene for me.

[cursedshadow]

@nightbringer757 I think quite the oposite..the moment it starts and the music plays it just screams either "we're in deep shit" or "kickass time!"

[AlexMoonStruck]

@nightbringer757 Yep, I admit. But the worst is with battle theme, in a dugeon et suddenly... It's horrible.

[915nabi]

everytime I heard this music I always got scared to fight the boss.

[AlexMoonStruck]

@915nabi The same.

[AzumangaDaiohFreak]

I never did by Zidane's reasoning on why the Regent came the Iifa Tree.

You think a brilliant man like him wouldn't notice what's going on? He's the one that probably told Baku!

Regardless, I love this scene!

[PieMasterX13]

ya dagger finish's him off with a normal attack this goes to show that never leave a man to do a woman's job

[Fatmanrolling38]

wow.........just wow.

this scene.......is the best scene from this game

the music,images,atmosphere, everything joins to make one of the greatest things i have seen in my whole life. :D

[kaze66613]

rpg rule #33 : dozen flying ships < ten thousands dragons

[juu90]

My disc freezes on this part entering memoria"?" Can you download this for psp?

[SilviaGTR1]

Best scene in FF9, ranks as one of the best in all of the FF games! The music almost makes it. Nobuo Uematsu at his absolute finest.

[magicx618]

This is my favorite scene in all of FF

[pearchris]

I dun like when people rename Garnet into Dagger, <--- tis like the most annoying thing ever! I just keep her name the same, Garnet. ^^ I dun change any other names either.

[deanriam]

@pearchris I don't like that either, but I keep her name as Dagger for the sake of the plot, until I can get the Namingway Card and go to Daguerreo, by that point, she's cut her hair and doesn't go by Dagger anymore, so I rename her Garnet.

[gregohks]

Best FF after X.These videos that are like ps3 graphics are epic.E-P-I-C

[flashinfect]

FF7 had an amazing story and unbeatable music.

.

FF8 was cutting edge graphic wise for it's time but an easily exploitable battle system.

.

FF9 was pretty damn good I admit, looked great (abit anime ish, big heads small bodies) , good music and a fresh take on the "how to learn new spells".

[Bootsie42]

Such an amazing battle. I tear up every time I see this video lol. ^^ BEATRIX ROCKS!!

[Naymy]

This is the best scene in FF9 by far.

Such an epic scene.

5/5

[deanriam]

Great scene, but honestly, their timing and they even knowing to show up there didn't make any sense whatsoever.

[Bakosmos]

What staff was Dagger using? I just realized I never seen a staff like that before and I have all the ultimate weapons for all characters.

[EvilBizatch]

@Bakosmos That's the "Whale Whisker", the ultimate Mage rod in the game. You find it through the Chocobo quest. You probably missed it thinking the Tiger Racket was the only ultimate for Dagger. =]

[SerPinkKnight]

Wow... someone who uses Amarant?

Shocked D:

[SuperSaiyanAl]

Any reason why? He hits like a tank, even when he isn't using Throw.

[bakamoni]

still the best...love ffIX, my first RPG:D

[tjockobbe]

I love this part... gives me goosebumps when the fleet shows up! This is how a game is supposed to be! **** super grafic, you don't need it if the game's good!

[Hylindril]

@tjockobbe ISN'T IT THOUGH?? :))!

[dakota7227]

@tjockobbe Do not Fret Your Captain is about to enter Valhalla! lol i remember watching this scene on the edge of my seat like GO GO GO GO! and hten the dragon fight happens and i remember going ....whaaaaa lol

[jhregh]

best cutscean eva!

[cymro5]

Quite few games these days can match the old FF's dramatic climaxes.

[Reinko96]

Best. Cutscene. Ever.

[KuroiKarite]

It's really that easy to kill the white dragons? Because I recall spending hours trying to beat Kuja's dragon...

[lootship5]

i have to say that beatrix makes the best entrance

[warriorboy321]

I just hate that they have this epic scene and music, and then they just play the regular boss theme for the dragon.

[raCteJ]

@warriorboy321 I think it would have been awesome if the music would have just continued through the battle. Or at least a more dark sounding variant.

[teamlegendatl]

very nice, what up people just droppin by to tell ya'll to check out the response for this video subscribe if you guys want

[MahBoiProduction]

Epic scene

[meatwad4900]

@RogueMarauder To prevent Zidain's party from entering into Memoria where Kuja went in search for the crystal of life.

[DrEthanAsia]

2:28

Owned.

[midend]

I fking hate to think that a silver dragon can be downed by a single cannon shot when we have to spam spells like mad just to beat it up

[davinhardoyo]

@midend that's because we didn't fight a silver dragon, it's a nova dragon...

[midend]

@davinhardoyo erm, apparently u didnt participate in the earlier part where garland sent his silver dragon on us? o_O

[SuperLowercase]

So I guess I am going to dig out my FF9 now and play it again because of nostalgia! I love this game.

[mk941987]

All of this because Kuja couldn't take his mortality like a big boy...

[salzab]

@mk941987 wasnt it more that his soul wouldnt continue like everyone elses would? i vaguely remember it being more about that (plus him dying soon)

[parkmonr]

lol for this battle my vivi took it on hiself it was awsome

[phoLegit]

whats the thing that speeds up the green ATB bar and turns it yellow?

[PerfectGenius23]

@phoLegit

Its called Haste, a white magic spell learned by Eiko. You can also equip the Auto-Haste ability after learning in from the Sprint Shoes accessory.

[brnleague99]

@PerfectGenius23 Haste rules. So does Stop. *smirk*

[FooLonTheeHilL]

i love that piece of music.......with a freeking passion

[Binfieldius]

best ff scene if all time

[Cyanakrli]

"quite a woman, you fell fall in love with!"

You*r one to talk!"

"Wait a minute, Steiner! what did you mean by that!?"

lol

[sunmingzhao]

Bataille épique !

[kaze66613]

l'ennui dans ce genre de jeux, c'est que si tu a un trop haut level, les boss ne sont plus intéressants

[VinniNL]

how the hell did you get zidane to do 8000+ damage??? I got the ultima weapon, he's level freaking 97 and he still does like 4000~ if im lucky... (with MP attack about 5000+)

[PhyZix89]

@VinniNL That's really bad O.o

I was on level 60 and hit 9999 lol.

[TeamStarsProduction]

This is why Sephiroth is the third baddest dude in the final fantasy series and thats being very generous to him. Why? He failed becominga god and failed using meteor. Kefka destroyed the world but one-up Kuja by actually becoming a god. Kuja how ever, destroyed a world and then destroyed the entire universe/dimension by destroying the crystal. Yet since people stopped playing FFIX or say the hated it and never gave it a chance he will always be underrated, but he'll always be the best villain.

[AutumnCrusader]

Most the villains did better than Sephiroth

Exdeath even vanished the heroes from existance into the void

Ultimecia completed her goal of time kompression

Mateus became Emperor of Hell

Garland channeled Chaos

Kefka destroyed the world

Kuja destroyed an alternate world

Sephiroth sat in a cave trapped in Mako crystal unable to so much as move while hoping the heroes would give him a shiny black rock

Said rock failed to work anyway

[sagem28]

#AutumnCrusader

Don't forget, Kuja destroyed the Crystal that gave all life, thus summoning Necron to end existence.

[MarkTeePee]

Haha, just noticed the Scottish flag at 1:09

[celestica83]

this scene was my fav along with alexandria summon scene.

[DivBMesa]

One Word: Epic!!!

[MarkTeePee]

Kuja is the man, everyone talks about Kefka destroying the world, Kuja destroyed the universe, and launched some proper wars before doing so.

[krat0s9001]

@MarkTeePee he didn't destroy the universe.

[MarkTeePee]

ha my bad, i meant Terra no idea why I said universe.

[DoinkTonberry]

no when you think about, he did destroy the universe when he destroyed the crystal. (zid and friends just restored it back)

[Kryssy128]

Technicially he did. he destroyed the crystal which was the core of the universe, wasnt it?

[krat0s9001]

He didn't I didn't see no ultima hit the crystal

[Kryssy128]

Uh, The crystal got destroyed, which is why you fight necron.

[krat0s9001]

he killed the party is why you fight Necron. He said he was gonna return everything to where this is no crystal, meaning that the crystal was never destroyed.

[Kryssy128]

Ah, i stand corrected then.

[Willy2537]

EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC EPIC

The most epic moment in RPG games ever...

They SHOULD remake Final Fantasy 7,8,9. I love those! It has freakin' awesome cutscenes!!!

[FoxD13]

Hey

I think they are going to remake FF7 atleast...

One of the Squaresoft Executives said that there would be a remake of a game which fans often asked to be remade and it was from 1997...So it can only be FF7 i think... I liked ff8 more butt ff7 would be great too ;P

[ThebestULMITAever]

lol silver not white

[DoinkTonberry]

funny.

The whoosh of the claws and speat then

Whack

[SqualI42]

IN SOVIET RUSSIA, YOU DOINK TONBERRY!

[LoverOfOtown]

best song on all of the FF games theres really only one great word to describe it and thats epic

[OxideRevolution]

Beatrix <3

[Kenyo4330]

I liked this cinematic. You watch Lindblum gettting fucked over easily through the whole damn game. And burmecia more so! God i hate those feeble rats! And then they just come right on top blowing the shit outta hundreds of these dragons. considering how long it took to mess up the first one you encounter lol!

[Tryscal2]

thousands of white dragons vs. entire armed forces of the world

[Chaosical2]

ff9 is my favourite final fantasy game my friends think it has to many fmv's in it but i dont care this has the best music proven by the Assault which has to be 1 of my favourite fmv's in the whole game

[djp81987]

Those ships from Lindblum were made after Cid was free of the ooglop and frog magic. After he finished the Hilda Garde 3.

[blobsndrees]

with this much power it makes you wonder what lindblum were doing when they got attacked by alexandria. since the invincible and red rose didnt do much attacking anyways

[LethalxMonkey]

the invicible, the red rose, the hilda garde 3 all working together to save the world from kuja.... this scene is so epic and the music suits the scene so well XD

[Runeless]

The white dragons foretell the ending of the world!!!! AIIIIEEEEE!!!!

[Zenjin000]

And then..... AIRSHIP FLEET RAPE!!!! Seriously.... they just mowed DOWN those things.

[chaoslis]

i always felt ff9 was the easiest of all the final fantasy

[kabobbob]

While watching, I literally felt every emotion I had experienced the first time I played this!!!

[cloudscreamer]

Lol Me too...weird. The music and the visuals really stick with you for a very long time.

[kingmizar64]

I always found this part so inconceivably epic!!! It genuinely feels like the End of the World is just about to occur. Which it is lol. As Kuja's about to end all existence in the universe. Lol. I bet if those Silver dragons could understand what Kuja ois trying to do they wouldnt be fighting lol. Then again they're just angelic looking beasts.

[Kelmorally]

Just brilliant.

[knight11456]

gotta love cid and those damn airships lol fav cutseen of all ffs right here just gotta love it lol

[higenrigi]

the music sends me to another dimension. :D

this part is one of the reasons why i miss ff9 so much... :(

[mattmanganon]

also, if the invincible is so advanced, why does it have no cannons?

[LORD351]

kinda weird yeah , but it should have that eye cannon thing at its belly i think ..

[Myth3842]

Well it has the power to control Eidolons, who wants cannons if you have that.

[mattmanganon]

I DO!

[mattmanganon]

now why could we not have had a battleship when fighting silver dragon not too long before this, hmmmm?

[Cokecakepopcorn]

Stay on target...

[DylanCobb]

One of the most epic moments in gaming history :V

My favourite scene in this game is still on disc 3 where Zidane regains consciousness in pandemonium, but this is a close second. FUCKING EPIC.

[dbdrummer89]

That might top this one imho...both awesome scenes though, no doubt about it

[paulo7arjenson]

beautiful scene

[ViggiMassi]

Oh god, I remember when I first played this game and this part. When all of the silver dragons showed up, I remember thinking "Wtf? Am I supposed to fight all of those?" and imagined the unbearable boredom of fighting 20 battles in a row against group after group of these things. But no, out of f-in nowhere, guess who shows up. The entire f-ing Lindblum air force with more cannons than people on board. The sheer epicness of all this still gives me chills.

[Grove0730]

I remember creating an extra save file after watching this scene, so I could return to it whenever I wanted. It's still amazing to me that this cutscene was from the PS1.

[Valitor25]

its so epic when the fleet comes out of no where

[DakkTribal]

I was actually cheering when the airship fleet showed up!

This is such an awesome scene!

[shade041]

@DakkTribal

Oh my god me too! Haha and then Red Rose came in and blocked it from the few dragons that followed. Ahhhh I love this game.

[Magistrate88]

@DakkTribal

Oh man, I had GOOSEBUMPS. To this day, this cinematic is the one I remember the clearest as being the most epic and emotional. Awesome stuff. FF9, you will be missed.

[Condomdog]

0:33 It looks like the eye from Lord of the Rings!

[Myriachan]

I wish that they had kept the music playing for the Nova Dragon fight.

[Dickie18]

hahaha awesome, 1.09-1.12 lindblum have the scottish flag

[themusicman803]

0:35 I remember thinking "What...the...hell?!?! Now what?!"

This and Vivi vs. BW3 are the best FMVs in the game.

[Uzibit]

Being an extremely high level for all the boss fights makes the game very boring....as in this video.

[arnaudlereno]

Dam thats a lot of piegions :P

[aaindahouse]

lol damn thatd be a lot of bird shit if they were

[affliction1265]

This man said 9 is the best part out of all FF... Final fantasy 7 i think you should replay it,..

[DakkTribal]

9 is the best, 7 is overrated

[IlljayGT]

Even the devs say it's the best FF yet (9) and it's my favourite, too.

Best Boss music until now. 10's is second.

Squenix just knows how to make awesome CGI.

[RagtimeFoxy]

Fuck yes! Virtual high five!

[parkmonr]

@DakkTribal agreed but 7 is still good

[SuperLowercase]

@DakkTribal SO TRUE!

[dakota7227]

@DakkTribal FINALLY SOMEONE AGREES!

[BuffPants53]

great game,9 is the better part of all FFs...but with that said, all Ps1 FFs should be recreated for ps3....because the FFs after 10 suck...

[LotusMan17]

There is no doubt that this is the most epic scene ever. you cannot deny it

[MaliusEpiphany]

Truth

[Wychuchol777]

So much as I love this scene I am forced to deny that it's the most epic scene ever. Why?

I haven't lived forever yet - neither did you.

[AnonAnonyAnon]

If this is remade, think of how awesome it will look then.

THEN you can definately say it's the most epic scene, ever.

[Deryol]

Well, i like Dagger ( or Garnet, in the german version) the most. She can heal and summon, that's what I want. I like Vivi too. He's so cute, but when he attacks, it's just like hell's on earth! XD

He's killing everything^^

[fantasyguy86]

amarant and freya is the best characters, both have great HP, great physical attacks and great skills! but vivi is my favourite character in the whole game! =)

[loopi8]

I usually Zidane.Vivi.Dagger and Steiner

[Taoma]

Amarant... How is he? I usually use Eiko, Vivi, Dagger, and Zidiane ^^;;

[latsabb99]

amarant is just amasing. i use him for restore mp + some hp. he also deals great damage if u throw those wing stuff.

and he got some cool magic. i would trade dagger for amarant.

[lisbonmob]

I used to save the game before this part as well so i could see this countless times. Now we have Youtube to see it over and over again! Thank you Youtube!!!

[NeoDMC]

I liked seeing the Lindblum Airship navy in battle.

They were caught off guard during Alexandria's attack and never got to take to the skies, but here we get to see how powerful their Airships are.

[latsabb99]

i dont like using dagger, as she fails alot at casting anything. i replease her with eiko as she can resurrect dead with her phoenix, and she can heal twice at trance.

[MostUnwantedFat]

she does that when she was mute or after her mother had been killed

[latsabb99]

yes i know. and i dont like that

[Rhyonz]

Its no fun when ur at a very high lvl and kill everything in 2 or less min -.-

But w/e

This game is 1 of the best rpgs out there, same with ff10, Chrono Cross Lunar 2 and Legend of dragoon

[Snawberd]

chills

[PvtMinsk]

I'd forgotten how jaw-droppingly epic the Assault of the Silver Dragons was. They should have kept that theme playing in the fight with Nova Dragon.

[0Iluvater0]

I can recall cheering when those airships appeared to blow those dragons out the sky

[KaibaownsJyonouchi]

I am soooo happy you put this on there!

My party was Zidane, Dagger, Vivi and Steiner, but awesome job with your part

[Valitor25]

so epic

[PhantomR32]

One of my favorite cutscene's in FFIX.

Btw, what does valhalla mean? Beatrix mentions she's entering valhalla. But, I here valhalla mentioned a lot in the gaming industry.. whether it be part of a game name or a map in a game.

[lunatredecim]

Valhalla is the Norse martial heaven, where warriors go to when they die. Associated with valkyrites. But yeah, its mythological implications make it popular in the gaming world.

Good video by the way!

[Slixer]

also she is saying Steiner is about to enter and she is basically saying if he can go to a place where he may very well die then the knights can cram it and fight too

[chugnutts1180]

"What did you mean by that?!" 'I'll hide in this corner if you need me.'

[tangbein]

btw, how u get amarant to do dmg ?:P

[vampaod]

He has alot of good moves, and if you are smart in the beginning of the game you can get the materials to make like 99 save the queens at hades synth shop. They always do 9999 damage when thrown

[wonebutuoynomi]

@ DeathMiasma: Everyone's played VII and aren't willing to play the others... so don't give games like VI or IX a second glance...

[lolthatguy123]

This game is terribly underrated. FFVII is terribly overrated. God I can't stop loving this scene

[DeathMiasma]

VII isn't that overrated. Sure, IX is pretty damn good, but VII was a classic, and a good storyline as well as gameplay. Why do you think so many people like it?

[tangbein]

well tbh I'm not "that" found of the gameplay, sure they did have a good bacground to Materia and all that stuff but background doesn't nesseceraly have to mean anything, I for my part like the more classic setup with different weapons such as in ff9 that give u abilites the longer u come in the storyline, as of the story, well I guess ff7 sure has a rly deep story without doubt, but if I were to choose between those too I would say ff9, and that's generally because it's got the steampunk theme.

[Moneybags010]

no matter how many times i see this i am still awestruck at what is happening: the whole continent untied for one cause...the very site of the airships rising out of the mist is powerful and yet in a way, terrifying

[Tinytimscrutches]

This IS the most intense custscene. When you're playing the game and you see those fleets of airships come to fight in your name . . . .AH THE POWER! lol Music was just perfect for it too. Love FF9.

[adamtheclark]

man this was one of the best FF cutscenes EVER!

[ovoss89]

WORD!!!

why can't i give 6* :(

[Zakkary1993]

FUCK! my game keeps freezing after beating the boss :(

[4765q]

I just love how all the nations from the Mist Continent unite again... impressive ^^

[Yeesha8679]

Exactly why I like it, too!

[cheetah1840]

nice

[Zardiel]

Best music in all of FF9.

[gridergirl]

The best scene in the entire game for me!
