Final Fantasy VII - Off the Edge of Despair [HQ]

[Deverey1]

someone should make an extended version of this....

[Norga94]

This reminds me of when cloud gets bad mako poisoning D:

[Khievin7]

FF7 music is what keeping me sane...idk how i would be without it...

[RyosukePD]

guaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh they're coming.

oh shit!!!! are we yelling at that weapon that flew out of the crater! thanks Cid!

[Khievin7]

Mako poisoning is bad kids...Say NO to Mako.

[robertoszwas]

feels bad man...

[WhiteVenom187]

I honestly expected Tifa to go kill herself the first time I played this, especially after all that has happened. First, all of Sector 7, Second, Jenova's havoc, next, Sephiroth's havoc, then, Aerith's death, and now Cloud's vegitablism.

[RemiusTheAwesome]

@WhiteVenom187

You know, apparently in the scene where cloud tells everyone to say bye before the northern crater, there was supposed to be a scene in which Tifa and Cloud....you know. They took it out because implying it might have been too risky for the rating.

Ever wonder why they were so embarassed when they found out they knew they were down there?

[WhiteVenom187]

@RemiusTheAwesome I'll remind you. First time I played this. I was 6. I didn't really know what sex was at that time.

[Pharenheitz]

@WhiteVenom187 Nah, think of how many women in real life deal with terrible shit, and yet still move on. Hell, would it surprise you if Tifa was once raped? Hell, how many women in real life get used like garbage, but then continue living. Men seem to lack that, women seem to get more determined (and dangerous) the more terrible shit that happens to them.

Tifa held Avanlanche together. She was mom.

[nokiXedge]

It was so bold to put their main character in a wheelchair... I guess no game after FF7 has dared this.

[Crebralassassin]

poor cloud, in a wheelchair, making those terrible noises, made me so sad. theres still a ray of hope though, as we can hear in the song.

[TheXXLethal]

uh....Ahhhh.....Uh...Gurk?

[YoungGun66]

Pure nightmare fuel music.

[unitedjt345]

I actually cried upon seeing Cloud in that state NOT when Aeris died

[Typerhaze]

@unitedjt345 oh my goddddddd, me toooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

[MrZangetsu468]

This reminds of of why FF7 is my favourite FF ever. No other character has undergone as many internal and external demons as Cloud, he made this game what it was, as did having Sephiroth as the villain. It makes me sick how many noobs and douchebags actually bag this game for no reason and for some reason the purists exiled to FFIX. Did I mention I love this fucking game :)

[Madrespect20]

Tifa- Cloud can you say your name?

Cloud- i'm WE TODD ED

(I'm sorry i had to do it lol)

[Jostra123]

@Madrespect20 Had to say that to get it.

[mattwarren85]

"Mr. Shinra? I can't come to work today. I was in a terrible airship crash. My entire party was killed and I am a vegetable. I'll see you tomorrow."

[Rocknload33]

I can still hear the wheelchair sound =/

[thereck24]

@Rocknload33 thats the sounds of the weelchair? what the fuck? I thought it was Cloud making that sounds like he had rabies and foam coming from his mouth o__O

[sirMAXX77]

@Rocknload33 lol me too

[TaraMiaka]

@Rocknload3yeah really it was very sad to see him in this condition and tifa in front of him who is also suffering...

[iriuz2]

The most horrorific image ever: fucking insane cloud on the wheel chair! that gave me nightmares.

[WhipLash42o]

@RobbAmazingness It already does cost a mint unopened standard release sells for 100-300$ us at conventions lol

[jamiebutcher91]

@WhipLash42o i wouldn't sell mine for anything if i had no way of obtaining another brand new copy. me and my ff7 disks.. we have something special :P

[darthaeris]

I've been sick today and this is the one song that's been playing in my head.

[MikeNashFlash]

Is it just me, or does this song just not have quite the same impact without the squeak of cloud's wheelchair?

[CheroNika]

@MikeNashFlash I always thought that sound was the respirator machine behind him :O

[Ganondorf1995]

I can hear on this song all day without Knowing it..

it is like I am getting to anorther world D:

[Axadn]

This song is so well composed that its melancholy tone make me want to kill myself ( not for real)

[DoinkTonberry]

this was so tragic. right before this happened, all cloud had to base his reason for being was on how well he performed as Hojo's experiment. Bastardjo disowned the poor guy, telling him he was failed, and the severe emotional trauma that he may have failed his purpose for being, along with the radiation, would be enough for him to give up hope. This song portrays that perfectly. good job uematsu. You never fail to accomplish.

[Skyshattered]

On the plus side, Cloud gets some head from Tifa, shame he's not really conscious enough to enjoy it.

[Sharkucajda]

omg i want FFVII for ps3!!!!! do sometin square soft

[thereck24]

@Sharkucajda dude you can get it. its like $10 in US money. idk where you are from but tall i know is that you can get it from the PlayStation Store

[Sharkucajda]

@thereck24 i mean remake =) not old version i play it too dont worry but graphic need update

[Raziax4]

1:52 - about 1:55... i love how it fades...echoes.. hm

[RichardBatchelor86]

I love this soundtrack so much. Nobuo Uematsu is the reason I started writing music, I heard his music 14 years ago and haven't stopped writing since.

[UrDadGaveMeHerps]

When i found out cid was the new leader i cried a little.. Then when cloud came back. I masterbated for at least 2 hours.

[windfrenzy16]

@UrDadGaveMeHerps I heard youre going fishing...

[FightingKatana]

@UrDadGaveMeHerps Cid made a good replacement for Cloud when he got sick. Some even think that Cid should have been the protagonist in Final Fantasy VII. Kind of hard to imagine now with the way things turned out though don't you think?

[TheDevilbuster]

@FightingKatana Hmm, a foul-mouthed pilot with a heart of gold over a complete mess of a person with scrambled memories and severe emotional trauma.

Yeah, I'd go with Cid any day.

[Jianlibao]

@TheDevilbuster seeing how Cloud overcame all his messed up complications was part of what made this game so epic

[ugie1028]

@FightingKatana Cloud would PWN cid 1v1... cloud was experimented on... tormented, kicked around... all cid had done against him was shinra cutting his space program. Cloud got more shit handed to him during his time with shinra than cid.

[jamiebutcher91]

@FightingKatana no way.. that's so stupid that it's almost not even worth commenting on. the pure amount of depth that cloud's story brings... it is the *soul* of FF7

[FightingKatana]

@jamiebutcher91 To you

[opplerdop]

everyone in the comments saying no one was moved by any other game has obviously never played mother 3.

blows the emotion in this game out of the fuckin water.

[Jianlibao]

@opplerdop I've played that, FFVII still beats it in my book :)

[Meshuggaaaahhhhh]

just standing here in my underwear eating cold spaghetti...

[FunnybunyMan101]

this music puts me in a dressing mood :( now what other game music can do that? hmmmmm...... none, thats why 7 is pure genius the pure emotion you feel from this game. long live Final Fantasy 7

[MultiSkittles01]

am i the only one noticing the like bar says 111 likes and 1 dislike? >.>

[StarlightTrail]

Tifa: Doctor, how bad is it?

Dr: He's suffering from about 9998 damage. he may not recover.

[cmsasuke17]

@StarlightTrail

Tifa: Oh my god that's... IT'S OVER 9000! (crushes an electronic device in her hand)

[MrRainzinedine]

@cmsasuke17 why vegeta's in this? lolololololol

[Fatmanrolling38]

@StarlightTrail

he needs an elixer it may be his only chance.

[Psn425]

@StarlightTrail unless you get him mega elixir phonix down

[mangekyokakashi]

@Psn425 nobody knows what a phoenix down actually is :P

[timetravelling2012]

@mangekyokakashi umm... PHEONIX DOWN is DOWN from a PHEONIX! down is the fluffy feathers underneath a birds normal feathers.. duh

[lmSoSorryFIN]

@StarlightTrail *Uses X-Potion*

[MetalH3lix]

I dont know about others but I loved the part with 4 Clouds. Maybe because Tifa fell in love with Cloud in my game but it was actually moving for me. When Cloud recovers and everyone laughs in the highwind scene i was SO happy. I've never played a game that gave me as intense emotions as FF7.

Then again i WAS playing this part at 3 AM..

[miujop]

@MetalH3lix YOU TOO?! Q.Q

[jamiebutcher91]

@MetalH3lix you should watch advent children, if you havnt already , AND finish crisis core, read a good plot analysis, and THEN play ff7 again. it's crazy.. this game that was made 18 years ago (or whatever it is) has TONNES of secrets and hints to the actual plot... that they waited 9 years to fully release... i have so much love for soft, and the producers that made this game <3

[MetalH3lix]

@jamiebutcher91 I've watched Advent Children over and planning to borrow my friends PsP and Crisis Core. I agreee. I love how soft makes these amazing storylines! This game is probably the best game i've ever played! My 2nd fav is the Kingdom Hearts series haha (:

[goherd89]

@MetalH3lix this sounds corny...i kno but i wanted cloud to realize tifa was there for him...aeris is nice n all but damn get ya head on str8 tifa was there since day 1, shes the one that made him want to b in soldier aeris was a passerby if thats a word

[TheWayshowerTube]

@MetalH3lix I know. There is something really magical about the final fantasy games made between 1996 till 2002. Like magic beyond senses.

[Skoomaheadmrmush]

@TheWayshowerTube there is something magical about final fantasy games made between 1987 to 1994

[Skoomaheadmrmush]

@TheWayshowerTube there is something gay about the one's made after

[X8802]

@MetalH3lix Think it was this game that created many emos before the term "emo" was even about.

[jeds786]

9999hit

[epicxpegasus]

This part of the game really creeped me out... Actually, everything that happened following Aeris' death on the first disc really creeped me out. The Forested Temple, Meteor, the appearance of WEAPON, everything that happened just felt weird. I got to the fight against Hojo, but I don't know where my file went, so I'll be replaying the whole game, just to be creeped out again.

[walterboro843]

man they really need to remake this game

[SollaceLux]

@walterboro843 As long as it's made right and isn't ruined.

[CrimsonVermillioneye]

The edge of DIS PEAR.

[IoriGaara]

@CrimsonVermillioneye LOL! You rock! XD

[roseofmay91]

Tifa... even though she knew what really happened, she stuck with Cloud through and through. <3

[TheMnitro]

cant beleave people still love this game xD

[serenadesilhout]

I actually have a fear of hospitals, and everytime I visit one this song obviously doesn't help. Especially when you hear the screams of real deranged people

[mikomun00]

Weapon at Mideel. And Lifestream :)

[teslatification]

This melody is always haunting my mind when I see my cousin which is slowly dying from a car crash at the hospital...

[Kakerate2]

@teslatification that'd be terrible if that happened to me D: my cousin is the person who showed me final fantasy, and now its practically my life. Idk what i'd do1!@!

[goldenphoenixnaruto]

-snicker- My friend thought Cloud was the one making the squeaking sound instead of the wheelchair XD. The poor fool. I thought that scene was funny just because Cloud's head kept rocking back and forth. They could have at least laid him down on a bed or something >.>.

[Grantien0479]

Sephiroth- I shall give you dis pear...

Cloud- nomnomnomnom

[xDejahx]

@Grantien0479 thank you for making my day :D

[shadowflare55]

I think I will listen to this again. Because I like it.

[FFXIKadian]

this is also played in Rocket Town

[loltat123]

The sorta music I'd hear if I was in hospital :(

[mewnani]

@Madrespect20: This scene would probably make me cry then... :(

[Masamune364]

I remember the sound he used to do while in the wheel chair lol, poor cloud.

[Maldundio7]

Poor Cloud... I remember when I first saw him in that wheelchair... I honostly thought that he was going to die off then and there, coughing his weakened lungs out...

[PUTOINMUNEMAN]

que buena me encanta

[nicolunacba]

This song makes me lose all my hopes ... :( great song anyway

[siggilumdiaboli69]

@TheSilakachim hahaha, I'm sorry! xD

[Fantasiponnyn]

Ugh...A billion mirror fragments... small... light... taken... angel's... singing voices...Xeno...gias or what he says at the hospital, love that Xenogears gibberish, a lot mystery to itxp

Makes me play with the thoughts of FF7&Xenogears, Chrono Trigger and possible or nothing at all connection, fun to play witrh thoughtsxp^^

[MrDemoExpert]

Please don't mention FFVIII on a FFVII page.. you might piss off fan boys like myself :D XD

[Robben911back]

@MrDemoExpert Dead on center, mate!

[HackedStats]

Ultima Weapons dislikes this song cuz he was just coming to bring Cloud a get well card in Mideel and all these little assholes started attacking his shins!! What the fuck is their problem, I just wanted to give you a card!!!

[RazorNion]

Guys... guys... This just in.

Cloud was just sober.

[Retroman2000]

This is a good song for me...for when iam in a dilemma, i just pace back and forth listening to this song over and over.

[Reinko96]

A. . . Gurk?

[Robben911back]

@Reinko96 A...Gurk haha... Agurk means "cucumber" in my language.

[FoclatelyChish]

this is the pre music to ultima coming in, because ur so sad u cant kick his ass there and then and have it done with -.-

[aaqamar]

this is the song i listen to when im feeling sick

[WarnyBoy]

a game should never lose its hero!!! cloud in the wheelchair sucked monkeyballs

[Andylong99]

@WarnyBoy I agree with that

[awesomename741]

@WarnyBoy yea but still that makes the player of the game feel bad about cloud and that makes these games so much awesome

[billiditohan]

when i hear this song it doesn't remind me on cloud but cid

1)this theme is played in his town

2)and after cloud is in the wheelchair cid is leader :P XD

[Carnedurion]

Sephiroth is B-boppin and scattin' and Clouds loosing his mind!

[leppaberry]

poor cloud :(

[Robben911back]

Wooden traveler, wooden traveler, wooden traveler, wooden traveler. Sing that along with the song. Me and my buddy always do that xD

[Codyray1992]

@Robben911back You know, that kinda fits...

[Christoph7011]

Okay... Who drifts in through MILES AND MILES of what seems like endless ocean to a distant island and somehow is reluctantly found by ALL of his friends again? ... Sharks and other predators must of been like, "... Wait a minute, blonde, spiky hair... Massive metal sword... Purple SOLDIER uniform... Ya, NO, I am definitely going to eat something else that WON'T cut me open."

[skullkid325]

@Christoph7011 Maybe they didn't wanna ingest Mako?

[brainzsmashem]

First Aeris dies, and now this happens to cloud...This game do not stop amazing me.

[man34dog56]

@McLovinMcFlurry I don't have ps3 I got a ps2 but the old version can work on ps2 believe I'm goin to tryi it

[TreystaFXATARIEN]

Cloud got Traumatized

[TollensModus]

This is strange. I was never introduced to this song through FF, a friend of mine wanted to help me feel better when I was down and he sent this to me... about 8 years ago! Wow, I'm feeling very nostalgic now. ^-^

[ldjx1000]

1:31 gets me every time.

[randomdude222]

My Grandma acts alot like Cloud in this state.

Seriously my grandmother is just sitting here across from me.Creepy how well this song matches my Grandma's movements...

I wanna ask her if she's ok...But im afraid she'll say something like

"...failed...e-e-experiment."

[chrisbary]

@randomdude222 LMAFO 

[wdbisl]

@randomdude222 I want to laugh but that sounds really horrible....

[ldjx1000]

@randomdude222 O.o

[ticktockkeeptickin]

@randomdude222 lmfao

[TheBunnycorn]

@randomdude222 thats a rofl right there :3 and dont be a scaredy cat! ask her or tifa will whoop ya ass xD

[princedarienlover]

ugaaah? ahhh?

[joseluiskzx]

download link?????????

[BlizzardJoe]

@joseluiskzx try youtube downloader

[Animeneverdie]

Also a great soundtrack, like all from this legendary and unique game!

[Tyroneroane16]

Yeah it was sad to see cloud in a wheelchair. Man i felt sorry for tifa.

[blackwingangel04]

Let's take a moment to reflect on what's going on here...

Cloud's a mindless zombie.

Tifa won't leave his side.

Meteor's approaching rapidly.

Sephiroth is hiding in an inpenitrable barrier.

The Weapons are on the fritz.

And Shinra Corp. still fucking everything up.

Yep. We're fucked...

[genesisSOC]

@blackwingangel04 Naw, at least Kefka isn't here and actually succeeding in destroying the world, scrambling your party everywhere, enslaving the entire human race and is actually a god. We still got hope yet, as long as Kefka stays away!

[blackwingangel04]

@genesisSOC Don't bring that flamboyant clown into this.

Sephiroth did something Kefka never could. He manipulated his enemies. He left Cloud unable to even tell who he was.

He didn't destroy the world PHYSICALLY. But he scarred it deep enough that even YEARS after his death, people still feared him.

Sephiroth still haunts Gaia ("The Planet"). He was even revived, once.

Kefka just died, and that was it.

And Seph DID become a God. "Safer Sephiroth"/

Even had a choir sing for him

[genesisSOC]

@blackwingangel04 That flamboyant clown isn't a mama's boy. :3 Kefka didn't manipulate his enemies? Heck he was second in command for the entire empire, then killed another general (Leo), the main emperor, destroyed the world, -enslaved- the entire human race.. heck do you even remember the tower of Fanatics? Left Cloud unable to tell who he was... that wasn't Seph. That was Mako and all the other crap in Cloud's past, especially with Zack. Most of it had nothing to do with Seph. Don't even make

[genesisSOC]

@genesisSOC me mention Terra and Celes for "not knowing who they are because of Kefka." Scarred the world for years after his death, eh? Kefka freaking destroyed it, and it even says in game "the world was never the same." Years or eternity? Hmm... As for FF7 having sequels... yeah they all sucked IMO. Crisis Core was decent at best. Advent Children wasn't good at all... and the others. <_< To each their own, though, but FF6 would be better with a sequel. A choir sing for him, eh? Kefka had a

[genesisSOC]

@genesisSOC 20 minute last boss song. Safer Seph is a god? Hardly, he didn't even do anything storyline wise. He used that Super Nova attack but it was all show and didn't do anything to the world... Don't get me wrong, Seph is cool and all but Kefka is the best villain of all time hands down.

[kekoglol]

@genesisSOC better than seph... maybe. best of all time..hardly

[blackwingangel04]

@genesisSOC

No, it was seph that mindfucked cloud. Don't you remember the Whirlwind maze? Sephiroth abused Cloud's insecurities, and tortured him mentally.

And seph did become a God, in the form of Safer Sephiroth, even if it wasn't for very long.

And so what if he's a momma's boy? That doesn't take away from the fact that he he's the pure essence of evil. Hell, ALL the best villians have some weird quirks. Like Joker having no idea who his own true identity is, and so on.

[McLovinMcFlurry]

@blackwingangel04 i like you sephorith is the best no fucking doubt when i play this game I dont want it to end. My neighbor gave it to me my ps2 stoped playing ps1 games so I went out all of my way to get abother ps2 It was the best thing I ever did video game wise Seph is the sickest fucking villian.

Long Live Sephoroith!!!!!!!!!!!!

[McLovinMcNugget]

@McLovinMcFlurry long live sephoroith? woah u sound like a badass

[iamheathermason]

@blackwingangel04  i think the correct term would vegetable

[blackwingangel04]

@iamheathermason Negative. A "vegetable" refers to being comatose. Cloud was not in a coma, he was just...a zombie. Still very much conscious, but not much more.

[user98xp]

@blackwingangel04

A million tiny mirror fragments, my man.

[ShredFan15]

@blackwingangel04 best comment IVE ever read on a FF7 song xD

[blackwingangel04]

@ShredFan15 I aim to please xD

[ShredFan15]

@blackwingangel04 i am a very SATISFIED consumer hahaha :)

[man34dog56]

I WANNA TO THIS GAME SO BAD

[McLovinMcFlurry]

@man34dog56 do u have a ps3 you can buy it for 10 bucks it is the best game ever in my oppionon it has the best story line and you get into it like it is really happening shit im the exact oppisite of a nerd i play on a football team and im athletic and even i agree trust me this is the best game ever made

[bloodwings3]

"Wow, wow, wow, WOW FFVII! You don't just KICK OUT CLOOOOUUUD! *sees him in wheelchair* ... oh .... fudge .... *Tifa leaves* "BUT THOSE WERE MY TWO BEST CHARACTERS!" *Is given Cid*

... but I've never used Cid before . . .

Monty Python reference:

How does it . . . umm . . . how does he work?

[Masamuneblade7]

@DansukeTheHedgehog I loved the imagination part, I was the same way. I pictured cid saying a bunch of things, one of them being "Welcome back numbskull- time to repay tifa for bringing your sorry ass outta the fire. I'm getting a smoke."

[ehe3000]

Final Fantasy7 is the best game ever made.

[Kichigokun]

My playcount in my iPod for this track alone is 1000.

I play it in my sleep or when I'm relaxing.

That is how awesome this soundtrack is.

[KaiserVadin]

Its over we can't win because cloud lost his mind !

[edoardo866]

stupenda... che gioia trovarla

[mayhmong]

I can imagine hearing Cloud snorting whistle after whistle.

[roshidon]

Is this when Cloud loses his mind and he's in a wheel chair down on that southern island?

Yes it is... what a sad moment in the gam
