Final Fantasy IX Music: Protecting My Devotion

[TheRealThreeP]

The first time I heard this song, I kept thinking there'd be a large, fire-breathing dragon to fight.

[SubwayDreamer]

If you havent played this in your childhood, you just cant feel how nostalgic this is <3

[duckduckmoai]

And this is where Steiner became absolutely badass and was given a pass for being so annoying earlier on.

[mesofewyhony]

Final Fantasy VI was about Tyranny.

Final Fantasy VII was about Justice.

Final Fantasy VIII was about Companionship.

Final Fantasy IX was about Identity.

Final Fantasy X was about Change.

And then it got fucked up from there. lol NICE JOB SQUARAE ENXIAL RARW

[RenzokukenLionheart]

@mesofewyhony Who's "SQUARAE ENXIAL"?

[TrueNubinator]

@mesofewyhony personally i would have stopped it a IX and said it got fucked up after that

[floooooooooooooooood]

@mesofewyhony Funny you say VII was about justice. I've always seen VII as having the darkest protagonists. I mean they are a group of terrorists who do willingly kill a couple of hundred people at the start of the game.Sure Shinra is an evil corporation but the party went out of there way to ruin their plans even when they try to help like taking the Huge Materia away from destroying meteor. I think there's even one scene which humanizes a pair of Shinra soldiers before forcing you to murder em

[pumpmasterflex100]

I used this theme at school when i was in the finals for Fencing :D

[GundamShinobi00]

@DragonDogmeat...watch ur fucking mouth you pessimistic asswipe!

[Justforvisit]

Whoever can resist bobbing his leg up and down to this backbeat CAN'T! BE! HUMAN! ^^

[Justforvisit]

That harpsichord backbeat is just so.....sooooo....soooooooooooo­o............no it's not genious.

It's Uematsuious <3

[somebodysendme]

Man I wanna see Daniel Tidwell cover this, that would be insane!!

[superherox7]

finally a good song with no dislikes YES!!!!!

[Degue1297]

BeatriXXX... XD

I liked so much this theme that I looked a tab for guitar.

[Kerrandrius]

Steiner and Beatrix vs. Mistodons.

One of the best scenes in the franchise.

[meeps625]

Also know as 'The Thing I Must Protect' I find it weird how there are different titles for tracks from this soundtrack.

[InitiativeXIII]

@meeps625 It's normal - Translation issues and fan translations often do that. So when you see more than one title to the same song (Mystery Sword/Sword of Doubt) it's solely because translation does that. xD

[Gmanster64]

Am I the only one that hears the blatant rip-off of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home"?

[nikzsnare]

its nice to hear this song again..love it~

[MiciahsLight]

Hearing this scene makes me remeber fanboying about playing as Beatrix for the second time and how I would own those Mistodons I think they were called in one shot with shock. Then start crying because I would remember how I was on the receiving end of that move so many times and tell him to try and rest in peace my fellow shock owned brethren. Beatrix on the other hand would just stand there with her hand on her hip and flip her hair looking like a bad ass. Such a good game.

[MegaBlargle]

The only thing I remember hearing besides this song was Beatrix and Steiner attacking and the cool "Wachchhchhhchhhh..." sound effect with it.

[DragonDogmeat]

this game is gay shit

[asdlgvfrbadkhjaseygf]

Although I loved ff6,ff7,ff8,ff9,ff10,ff13 there was a particular charm in ff8 & ff9 that make them truly great.......hearing this theme makes me feel nostalgic

[MrMilkmi]

Hey what happend to 12

[MrMilkmi]

Hey what happend to 12 that one was good to.

But the music- well...........

[asdlgvfrbadkhjaseygf]

@MrMilkmi i agree with you 12 was a pretty good game it just doesn't live up to the franchise its character seemed also bland and balthier was the closest to a pretty good character everyone else was dead but the soundtrack was pretty good though you're right

[MrMilkmi]

This song is great. I remember running around as the Knight Guy.

[Telris86]

FFIX is clearly the best of the whole series, not only because of the amazing soundtrack. <3 Nobuo Uematsu <3

[19Szabolcs91]

I really think that Nobuo's best work was the FF9 soundtrack. Every music in every scene and every place is memorable and awesome. This one in particular is one of my favorites. It's heroic and feels you with energy.

[xxxnanosinxxx]

Nostalgia all over it.......

[tormentor07]

The last truly great Final Fantasy... Maybe the last truly great jrpg.... *tears*

[Tatze2k]

@tormentor07 The last the Father did.

[fallOutbOOm]

hearing this makes me remember the little sweety-pie scenes by steiner and beatrix against those mistodons. :))

[ToolShedHermits]

@fallOutbOOm lol those were so jokes

[Justforvisit]

Onward we go,

may it not be to glory.

may it even be into our death

As long as we can save just one from the same fate

Our mission as knights will have been fulfilled

And so I'm protecting my devotion!

[narutobeast90]

@Justforvisit -- On my honor, I vow to protect the princess, the citizens of Alexandria, and... Beatrix! I...I shall protect you!

[MrKeyblademaster1992]

@Justforvisit I'm sure that's EXACTLY what Steiner was thinking during that scene.

[BlackxStich]

LOL! Hey i was watching lord of the rings earlier XD VVV

[darthgrahf]

For Gondor and Middle-earth!

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Lo, we shalt slayeth to a dragon to yon theme!

[akritos546]

huh, it may just be me, but after listening to this and rose of may, this sounds vaguely like a sped up version of rose of may o_o

[Shurryy]

@akritos546

It is. :P

[Predatoredu]

Steiner & Beatrix best Team ever xD

[InsaneVisionary]

This brings back so many fond memories. Patrolling down the streets of Alexandria with Beatrix and trying to stop the Mistdons from destroying everything. Even during a time as chaotic as this, their devotion is very admirable. The title suits this piece very well.

[Lemonzadez]

heard this song on epic battle fantasy 1 OAO
