  • Really wish Square would go back into making full fledge adventure games like good Ol' FF7. With FF13, it's so linear... I want that sense of exploration and memorable soundtrack and characters. I mean hell, I've played through 50 years of 13 And I still can't get some of the names of the characters right. Or rather still have a hard time following the story.

  • I hear some people say "lol FF7 so overrated FF6 better Kefka > Sephiroth lololo fag"

    Then I drown them out with this.

    I mean, wtf they smoking? No game has an experience comparable to this, and this song embodies it entirely. I've played a hellllllll of a lot of games, and not ONE of them gave me the same emotional ride as this. I'm not even subject to nostalgia here- first time I picked this up was '07, and I'd been gaming LONG before then. This is THE BEST single player experience out there.

  • best game ever, anyone who says otherwise doesnt know shit

    

  • FF7 was(and still is) by far one of the best games I've ever played in my life. Best soundtrack, one of the best storylines, and the best memories. I still remember the day I got it.........

  • I try my best to like other FF games more than FF7 & 10 But I can't I... just love them.

  • @93vincentvalentine I love FF 7 9 and 10, but It's just an opinion thingy soo

    don't even think you are bad just because you like other things more then the ones that others might enjoy more!

  • @NewPrafektRider Thanks a lot! I really appreciate it ^^

  • I played this game for the first time when it came out on the PSN and this game's anything but overrated. I have played mostly everything from Chrono Trigger to SMT series, even more niche stuff like Sakura Wars and translated games like the PS1 version of Tales of Phantasia, Terranigma for the Snes and Shining Force III for the Saturn and let me get this straight, I don't know what kind of games you people have played but FFVII hardly has any competition.

  • final fantasy 7

    - when it first cam eout it was thought to be the best game of its series

    -15 years later its still thought to be the best off all final fantasy games

    this means one thing.. this is one of the best fricking games of this generation and probebly will be for years to come

  • This game and some of the other FF's, together with the music, are some of the greatest pieces of art humans have created.

  • I just beat the game :D EPIC... also late lol

  • best game of my childhood it actually had an effect on me like how i see the world nuts right?

  • heh I remember playing this running around the overworld, didn't know what I was doing xD

  • sad but with some hope like the video game idustry

  • brings me many memories .... 15 years back

  • @32sephiroth

    true words mate, true sad words :/

  • Less QQ more pew pew. This song sounds good.

  • Overrated? What bullshit is this?

    This game single-handedly revolutionized the RPG genre as we know it and even after 15 YEARS it's still regarded better than it's successors.

  • after being in midgar for 5 hours then leaving it,i never expected the outside world to be so sick and expansive for the time now we have skyrim:) anyways this song starts up and ur like damn what the fucks gonna be in the world around you.this game is always gonna be ahead of its time and underrated.

  • @Milenko408 This game is NOT underrated...

  • @sabeval As much as I hate Milenko408 for being a total ass and calling me a faggot, emo, and bitch, I do have to agree it is underrated in a way. When the game first came out it was overrated, but now there are far too many haters, and most of them haven't even played the original game. This game is pretty amazing, and the unnecessary amount of hate it gets makes it a bit underrated in that regard.

  • @Milenko408 I thought the whole game was gonna take place in Midgar. I was pleasantly suprised.

  • As a child I was always considered a failure in everything I tried at, so to make myself feel better I lied to myself for a bunch of years and believed I was someone entirely different from who I actually was. Recently I rediscovered a bunch of buried memories, and it depressed me. I lacked confidence as a child, but now with help from my friends I'm sorting it all out to find out who I really am. All I know is that I'm a good guy. Am I Cloud Strife? Not the emo one, but the original one.

  • @dancinghulahoop your a faggot thats what u are.u could never be cloud strife,hes a fictional character,infact hes a puppet of sephiroth and zach.....ur an emo dont reference yourself as a badass like cloud.clouds not emo u little bitch

  • This game and this music... its its... amazing! This main theme here is very heart warming. Since this game came out in 1997, that means this was another of those glorious 1990's masterpieces. Those were the good old days... shame it ended.

  • I really hate it when FF7 haters have to shove there opinions down my throat I loved this game as kid and I loved all the other FF games heck I even liked advent children (only flaw was it took away a bit of clouds personality) I even hate it when people shove there hatred of sephiroth's and cloud down my throat you can't even mention FF7 without out some assholes hating or saying things like "overrated" and when I play the game its strange as each main character is well developed

  • @irelandcool1 Not to mention sephiroth is a very well developed antagonist as he is given a backstory and wasn't always evil and that makes for a much more realistic villain then one that starts off absolutely evil not saying all the other final fantasy villains are bad cause I like all of there personalities and style of evil and how each of them try to achieve there goal rather it be taking over the world or destroying the world. I also like sephiroth cause of how cold he is and he got away

  • @irelandcool1 Not to mention being extremely skilled with the musamune makes him a skilled warrior

  • This game is just FANTASTIC !!!!!!!! all Songs are Beautifull ! when i listen that i'am" Nostalgic " 9 years i have start this game , no i'am 23 years ... woooooooo :D and forever this game is in ME ! ( sorry i'am not english )

  • hi

  • hey heres an idea; stop talking about cod-ff7 kicks its fucking ass anyday of the week.

  • Everybody is angry at the fact that all kids these days play is cod. Im actually happy, feels good to be part of that small number that actually played the FF series and got to go on that awesome adventure. These games touched me many times, and hopefully more times to come. THUMBS UP COMRADES!

  • Words cannot express.... 

  • @arabguy10 eh not realy of course everyone has the opinion but when i played it i didnt realy get y it was so great. Its good as a game and final fantasy but i personaly find other final fantasy better. 7 was way to easy and short. Not on my top 5 list but thats my opinion. Not saying its a bad game just not my fav or a replayable game to me.

  • This and Field to Tomorrow from Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete are the greatest World Map themes of all time IMO.

  • zelda and ff psx1 game fullfil my childhood

  • this is the first Final Fantasy I did not like, but damn Uematsu still delivered his end of the bargain and composed another outstanding score.

  • @Sander1605 THIS WAS THE BEST FF THE ONLY THAT SHOULDNT BE HATED WTF ?!@!@!@

  • Easily the best overworld theme in the series, with FF4's as a close second

  • How fascinating the message Final Fantasy try to tell us back then.Bout how planet, earth life forms is at 1.. and fragile back then the message did we get it now? with all the global warmimg ? war ? etc.. :( sad poor aerith.

  • I really don't see why everyone hates XIII,  I watched a full playthrough of it and I thought it was amazing, I could see why people hate XII though, square really screwed the battle system.

  • Why people always puts Call of Duty as example of bad game? I mean, it's a bad game in terms of innovation (there are always the same) and history (just Black Ops has a decent history) but it's not so bad for playing with your friends. I love Final Fantasy but I recognize that CoD is not SOOO bad game, though it's a shame that many people just play that kind of games thinking they are the best and that RPG's like FF, for example is for freaks.

    I'm not english so excuse me if there is any mistake

  • @TommyVercetti214 i agree with u. Im not a big fan of FPSs, and i would rather play rpgs, but its a fun game when u play with your friends. Its not good when u group two totally different games and compare them

  • @TommyVercetti214

    I haven't played a COD game since Modern Warfare 1, but I don't understand where all the snobbery comes from when it comes to hating on COD.

    COD and FF are completely different kinds of games and they are both good.

  • @TommyVercetti214 Well of course ANY FPS game is good for Multiplayer. That's the ONLY time i'll EVER play an FPS game(With the acception of Red Faction for the Playstation 2, because I love that game.), is when i'm with friends and we're bored, we'll do multiplayer on a game (Sometimes it's not even FPS but a lot of the times it is FPS.). But people complain about the "CoDfags" because most of the CoD fanbase plays it for the "Supeerb Graphics." and that all other games are shit compared to it.

  • @Pharphain This also applies to a lot of other games besides CoD. Pretty much 75% of gamers nowadays only look for two things: Graphics, and shooting people. I am sorry, but if someone looks for graphics in a video game the most, then they are NOT a real gamer.

  • @TommyVercetti214 (Cont.) I just thought I'd correct your statement so you'd know what to improve on. Overall, not too many mistakes, especially in contrast to all the English-speaking adolescents here. :P

    But yeah, I agree wholeheartedly. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Bitching about CoD on gaming videos is like bitching about Justin Bieber everywhere else.

  • @TommyVercetti214 hey fuck you you little faggot,final fantasy is the tightest shit ever if it made all those spinoffs over 20 years nearly perfect each time then its not for freaks.what about u queers playin fuck lame ass call of duty.u wanna shoot so bad join the military and see if u can act all like call of duty.niggaaaaa..u probably suck at it anyways and u suck at call of duty and u suck at nazi zombies too u little bitch

    final fantasy forever

  • Truly amazing. But it definitely reminds me of being lost on the World Map!

  • this song was my childhood

  • It gets me sometimes how people call the story and characters cliche'. It's a fun word that can either make you sound smart or stupid. It was unique in 1997 and still is. If you ignore Advent Children and Dissidia, Cloud is a fantastic character and one of the best amnesia stories ever told. Alas, haters gonna hate.

  • @everythingBLUE Ohh yeahhh. I love this game sooo much it isnt funny. I dont like turn based RPGs at all even, but FF7 was soo awesome when I was younger and I still love it. It is in my top 3 games ever and is my most prized vidoe game possession. I will make my kids play it someday and will bitchslap them is they dont like it.

  • everytime! i listen this song i get the chills

  • @Mitchie0987 XII wasn't a bad game, don't speak for everyone. I enjoyed XII a ton, XIII and XIII-2 are both terrible so I'll agree on that

  • I play call of duty. I like it, but... FINAL FANTASY IS THE BEST GAME EVER. I can't compare this to call of duty. that is other shit, man. The music. The history. Everything is best than other games. FF VII will be the best game of all my life, forever. That isn't just a game. This show how the cicle of life works. This show, even if you fall, you have to keep trying. That can't be showed on call of duty games. This show me how life is important, and not to give up your dreams. Best game ever.

  • ah the good memories

  • I'll concede that it's overrated, but if you think this game's a piece of crap then you either haven't played this game, you're stupid, or you just REALLY want attention. Probably all three.

  • @DemonOfLaziness If you talkin' about me your right i do want attention, but that don't change the fact that it's the worst ff game in the series.

  • @ho2da

    you have clearly never played a ff from 10- 2 to 13 especially 12 it will probably make you commit suicide on how bad the game is

  • yall must be john cena fans because like this game cena is the most overated piece of crap on this planet

  • @ho2da

    lmfao, coming from someone who decided to look up Final fantasy 7 and click on this video. You are a such a loser bro.

  • @SOF2Marine It's funny that you callin' me loser when you worship a video game, and a crappy video game. You should get god involved in your life. I'll pray for you because apparently you need it.

  • Comment removed

  • @ho2da

    yep, okay, you do that. You are still a loser tho =).

  • @ho2da No, I'm pretty sure you're the most overrated piece of crap on this planet

  • @metallica19992005 you may be right maybe I am the most overrated piece of crap on this planet, but unlike ff7, I'm not claiming to be gods gift to the world. My life story is more entertaining than the predictable story in this crappy game.

  • @ho2da whatever

  • best game

    

  • this sounds so...so mysterious! i tried playing it on my piano...i suck too much :P

  • @ho2da Can't tell if trolling...

    Or stupid >.<

  • @ho2da And you came here just to say that?

  • @ho2da cool story bro

  • @ho2da you're gay

  • Whoever seriously prefers FF9 after playing both 7 and 9... boy, I cannot understand.

  • @nokiXedge You mean that boy needs a backhand..

  • @ReTardoFTW Yes, pretty much.

  • @nokiXedge yeah 8 and 9 pissed me off so much, 10 partially won me back but everything after that just seemed like no one put their heart and soul into it anymore.... like they just didnt care and threw something out there

  • welp i finally had the pleasure of playing a blind run on my psp, and boy this game is great, still kinda prefer FF 9 and FF 4 more though.

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY FINAL FANTASY VII!!

  • wow this brought back so many memories. beautiful.

  • This game is a masterpiece...just wow just finished the game recently for the first time. Ive been a gamer for 12 years and this is one of gamings crowned jewls.

  • Classical from a classic =)

  • not trying to be a douche but ppl please stop arguing and have respect for each other just like FF taught us. You came to listen to this awesome OST didnt you? enjoy it:) everyone has their own favourite, i couldnt possible point out the best, some say 6 others 7or whatever, i enjoyed each game ive played because it was a unique ride (though X-2 onwards wasnt like the old FFs XD) imo we should all be glad we came across FF, i feel bad for those people who miss out final fantasy, its life changin

  • Someone should invent a brainwashing device that helps you forget games that you played. i would totally buy that

  • This theme plays whenever I leave the house :)

  • Comment removed

  • After about 12 years I finally saw the credits 3 hours ago... (I think I started playing it 10 times in all those years haha)

  • FF7 in my eyes will never not be the best final fantasy ever made. Though 9 is my personal favorite, I will always tip my hat to 7 and everything about it. Lots of people are saying 6 is the best now but they can go fuck themselves, played both games 7>6. Tired of this.

  • @Kane917 Math: The best logical argument.

  • @Kane917 I guess your opinion is fact?

    The best Final Fantasy is clearly FF4, anyway.

  • @Mingaggins Hahah, I agree with you there but FFVII is a damn good game too. In my opinion, my two favorite Final Fantasy songs of all time are the main themes of FFIV and FFVII respectively. Honestly, I've played IV millions of times...but I've never played VII until now, and I'm loving it.

  • @Mingaggins Ironically 4 is my 4th fav on my list

  • I'm playing this game for the first time now in 2012....I feel like I've never played a Final Fantasy game before this, and I've played almost every one.

  • 3:49 "It was you...Cloud...."

  • @nastynate3163 As he takes off his Shinra Guard helmet.

  • Man this song makes me feel so nostalgic. The first time playing this game I remember wandering on the world map listening to this song and it really made you feel immersed in this new world...everything was so simple and peaceful back then and this game was revolutionary.

  • @Bluegamer2011 your friend is retarded

  • I have friend's that playy only Call of duty they say that im a freak because i play ff games and NES games. Let's just say that i playy retro games my friends don't understand the magic of the old games

  • @Bluegamer2011

    Maybe because they werent there when those games were released?

  • @Bluegamer2011 Learn to fucking type.

  • @Bluegamer2011

    I wouldn't call those people friends if i were you.

  • @Bluegamer2011 lets say theyr afraid of their own dreams:)the lame wuss way:)hahahhh only a few wore chosen by the game...what you guys think your the ones chosing here:)this came and took our hearts along whit the lifestream:)

  • @Bluegamer2011 Jenova is a lot more scary than a few nazi zombies!

  • I love this game but now I have no friends

  • I want to set this as background music for when i play Minecraft.

  • It's been 7 years from that i first played FF7 and i have just completed it just now :)

  • @Bluegamer2011 i can see that there just soo much to do in the game and plus its one of the best games ever made congrats on you beating the game :)

  • @jr252002 Thanks i can't thing about that i played ff7 first time when i was 4 years old :)

  • i can't believe i played ff8 b4 ff7 what was i thinking.

  • If you're interested, to check out the soundbanks he used and discover how these songs were crafted, check out the Roland U220 and similar devices

  • Uematsu's the man; a damn fine composer. Fyi the instrument sounds he composed with are from various Roland (the majority) and Korg 'romplers' - early-to-mid 90's samplers featuring fixed samples stored on rom chips (because memory was damn expensive). Their low bitrate and 'rough approximations' of recorded instruments contributes to their tonality, and this combined with Uematsu's masterful control of programming these devices with MIDI contributes to this soundtrack's unique and special vibe.

  • Final Fantasy is about exploring the world not to go straight forward until a cutscene. to really understand the characters and the story behind them and not to feel like you're in a paradox. to enjoy listen to some beautiful music that plays by a whole orchestra and not listen to some techno/synth that loops for 30 seconds over and over. to enjoy playing the game and wishes it never ends and not to wanna take out the disc and never play again. to have a memory for life and not for 5 min.

  • Fun fact about the games soundtrack making. FFVIII was the first orchestrated FF. In order to release the game in time(this one came close to becoming development hell like Duke Nukem Forever, imagine that), they opted to keep simplistic with many things including soundtrack. By this I mean despite being PS 1 sound chip and having access to better equipment Nobuo Uematsu used what he knew, 16 bit(similar to SNES) sound bit on the PS1 chip. This resulted in the sound FFVII has no one else does.

  • fuck i loved this game....

    i wouldnt honestly buy a remake

  • @linenlines I would honestly make the remake myself!

    Too bad I'm not a multi-millionaire though. >.<

  • @AndyHarglesis Don't need to be a rich man. Learn the software and make a cinematic...that's what I plan to do.

  • I love ff7! I'm probably one of the only 12 year olds who plays this in 2012... This came is so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @aerith1099 Hey, age shouldn't have to do anything with this. I'm 12 too, but I'm not hollering HOLY SHIT I'M 12 AND I'M A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE BECAUSE I'M LISTENING TO THIS IN 2012 AND I'M 12. It's awesome that you appreciate the song, but try not to bring age into this please. (:

  • @ToxicWastelands

    yeah but when you think about it in reality most kids at age 12 would probably sell their own souls for a new call of duty game. Its kinda rare to see kids those ages just playing a game that makes you think. I don't think age matters but its annoying when people these days are like oh MW3 yeah level 25 prestige.

  • @Dude16797452854763 Hehe, good point, but those are the 12 year olds who will presumably fail in life for too much video game intake. I'm actually a fan of those games, but not as huge fan as I am with the Final Fantasy series ^w^ I actually know an awful lot of kids my age who enjoy this series and its songs, so maybe it just depends on the person and what they were exposed to.

  • @ToxicWastelands

    yeah you make a good point i guess it's just a matter of what in nowadays

  • @aerith1099 thats where you made your error im 12 i still play this gone through 12 times in the past year

  • @aerith1099 im 18 and im on my first play through and i think its awsome

  • @aerith1099 i hope it brings you as much joy as it did me at your age :)

  • @aerith1099 Haha same. Im 12 years old, and I think this game was a masterpiece. It had so much depth to it, and the storyline was amazing. It's truly an unforgettable game. :)

  • i could hear myself suffling materia around trying to get my best fit for my party as i listen to this..this song is beautiful tho

  • Thank Uematsu

    you can make me cry whenever I hear this song

  • @MetalH3lix. I remember the same thing happened to me but it started with Final Fantasy X. Then I played all the others. Good times. Your friend has a lot of good times ahead of him if he likes Final Fantasy.

  • The only bad thing about having played FF7 is that i'll never be able to play it for the first time again ='(...

  • @litchkin You speak the truth my friend.

  • I remember playing FF7 like 10 years ago. I couldn't keep up with the story cuz i was so young. but i could always tell what situation i was in just by listening to the music. When Hurry was playing i knew i had to get my ass out of there and when J-E-N-O-V-A was playing i knew that i was royally screwed. Now that I'm older and understand that "insert disc one" means "insert disc one" it was like playing a whole new game. FF 7 has a special place in my heart.*Sob* *Sob*

  • To be honest I don't read at all but i do play Video games (alot) but FF7 story is so amazing and filled with emotion behind it, If this was a book i would be happy to read it.

  • i find these games have very boring game mechanics, but the story, the music, and the atmosphere are so great that i played all of them non the less.

  • I remember this song. Before I was an adult and had responsibilities. Before my big brother, the one who introduced me to this game got married and moved out to have his own life. Before 9/11 and the war in iraq. Before it was about graphics, and your imagination was free to wander. This song is why I am today. I wish I could thank Nobuo in person.

  • @ZentetsukenVII very well said bro

    This game isnt just a Game it's LIFE

  • @ZentetsukenVII He is probably the only song composer for games that can truly and accurately put the right emotion in the songs at the right time. It really is magical

  • @ZentetsukenVII i know that feel

  • More Materia or fuck you.

  • If Square-Enix were Zack, Final Fantasy VII would be it's living legacy Cloud. *^* If you'll excuse me, I'm going to leave Cloud on the world map for a few hours while I listen to this.

  • And they asked me "you still like this music, after all these years?"

    I replied "Always"

  • This song makes me wish the world was how it was when i first played this game

  • @alkalinecuban Hideous?

  • @IPITYTHEFOOLZ Do you think so?

  • @alkalinecuban Yeah, FF7's graphics are terrible. If the world looks like that it be pretty creepy!

  • @IPITYTHEFOOLZ Oh youre talking about the game world

  • @alkalinecuban The world always has been and always will be the same under certain circumstances.

    The world has not changed nearly in any way to effect any human life.

    The world you lived in before doesn't exist - it's just your brain repeating a series of memories in your head of what did happen in that existence.

    What happened CAN'T be changed because the world, time and essence of existence, balance and ability to live only moves forward - not backwards.

    Your brain changed, not the world.

  • @AndyHarglesis It's a LOT more complicated than that.

  • @alkalinecuban its the same stupid

  • @BlueBlazer89 Why the name calling

  • @alkalinecuban makes me feel tough

  • @BlueBlazer89 das cool brah

  • @alkalinecuban This could be the best comment I have EVER read.

  • @oO0E You must be new here

  • @alkalinecuban And by that you mean what exactly?

  • @oO0E Theres better comments out there, nvm, it was a shot at modesty.
