Beginning of Fantasy - Eyes on Me (FF VIII)

[AsphyxiatedFrog]

Yet again... she's killed the song with her voice Dx

[sephiroth21347]

@AsphyxiatedFrog Just you man. Sounded fine to mean.

[AHMADUK]

Princess Faye Wong you are amazing I heard this lovely song watching FF8 touched my heart took me years to see your official song on stage I love u alot .... sadly some of the fans failed their seed exams lol poor people lol

[AngryWarlock]

I don't like her voice and how she singing it. It's terrible. Ewww.

Original was GREAT.

[Wollakazoo]

before you decide to post an arrogant comment, please remember that this concert was put together to celebrate the final fantasy series, not to top the original performances.. faye wong is simply irreplaceable and Arina did a solid job here too.. forget the hatin and debatin and just sit back, reminisce and enjoy the show :)

[iamleoluk]

I think Faye Wong is better

[jsutmokha]

wah Arina vokalisnya Mocca kan! keren jga ^_^

[krusszz]

bagusan faye wong sih...tp arina juga not bad

[griever46]

my fav song from my fav FF

[AdamC316]

Goosebumps.

[universanjar]

Arina Mocca..

I love you.

[bambibethy18]

im gna cry D;

[Negisenseifangirl]

My favorite song from my favorite FF game. :)

[supercool1412]

@Negisenseifangirl ZING ;)

[kiotocitystories]

I would have killed to be there :)

Such lucky japanese people

[kingfelipe12]

@kiotocitystories I think they're actually indonesian O.o;

[danzaiver2000]

GREAAAATTTEEEE!!!

[FFTVII]

36 people failed their Seed exams and were frustrated. O_o

[soulcalibur99999]

Ouch she sang it wrong... the end of first chorus is: 'if frown is shown then I will know that you are no dreamer'. She sang: 'Just reach me out then you will know that you are no dreamer. Good singer though. I love this song so bad. I want it to be at my wedding <3. Love nobuo and love faye wong

[BHALT0S]

epic game, although im still reeling from the death of aeris

[soulcalibur99999]

@BHALT0S wrong game dude lmao. Aeris is in FFVII not FFVIII

[ChrysogonusLi]

I love FF, I love Arina, I love this song. But Arina made it less powerful. It sounds too "pop". A little weird combined with the orchestra.

[Wingonz]

Pfff.... WTF?! Arina Ephipania?!... All song is screwed..

Faye Wong make this song epic - makin' cry a little, and touch a soul...

!Not THIS Crap!...

[justolicia]

My neighbor kan sing better than her. Kurse it.

[XINIX100]

didn't expect she would sing..this crap

but any way im BIG fan of FF games Thums up if you ting FF games rock other games *_*

[soulcalibur99999]

@XINIX100 don't call this song crap >.> you're crap! lol

[ellaros]

don't compare her with Faye Wong, of course they both are different! she is the vocalist of Mocca Band, and their songs are great..try to listen their band's songs..

[MichelLima1000]

WTF happened with her hair?

[TheExtremePlayer]

YES!!!!!!!!!!

[kemngot90]

this isn't  faye wong! i love FW... her voice's so nice,..

[abdhee20]

Just a Syndrome "First Singer" only... so... the second, or the third never get welcomed...... I ask U all to listen this song without watch the video, just close your eyes, and feel the song... U will feel, that she sings from her heart... not faye Wong only... Trust me....!!!

[nhlegg]

still Faye wong is best

[guaishou]

this singer spoiled the whole song.. damn

[GhoOoda]

who is the original owner of this song?

[Nana2forum2ouf]

@GhoOoda Faye Wong.

[Gulliman01]

HAHAHA negativetube lmao

[DiabolicHeart]

I wish its Faye singing though. She sounds a little bit nasally.

[TDFireproof]

LOL !!!! so i clicked on "Celine Dion - Eyes on me" and the first comment says "FF8 Eyes on me is better" LOL WIN!

[Kamidake83]

Where might i purchase this on CD?!

[ultimose]

her timing was off but its still great

[PeachCatHill]

王菲唱的好多了

[engweeneo]

its nice.. but i prefer more original faye wong version :)))

[SquallML]

Too nostalgy...

[starryk79]

cool. The japanese are lucky people to have the chance to go to Final Fantasy Concerts. I would love to do that but there is no chance ever in europe

[SquallML]

@starryk79 In Italy, some years ago, there was a concert of Nobuo Uematsu in Firenze. Even in other part of Europe, I think. The problem is that things like this here are too much rare.

[bigdaddybrazil]

Where can I find this to download? The quality on here is really shitty.

[TheOmagio]

@bigdaddybrazil lol ^^ ffinsider net/mp3/final-fantasy-viii.php xD i like ask com  hahaha

[bigdaddybrazil]

@TheOmagio I meant the concert, not the soundtrack. lol

[TheOmagio]

@bigdaddybrazil lol ^^ ffinsider net/mp3/final-fantasy-viii.php xD i like ask com hahaha don't forget the dot xD

[JustinT2]

this is the only song they sing in English.

[dragondook]

wowza that chick sounds a hell of a lot like julia, is she the one that voiced the original song?

[Badfish93]

@dragondook Faye Wong did the original but Arina's did a very good job of re-creating it.

[acok27]

oy lirik nya ada yg salah tu.. tapi gk papa.. tetap isthebest

[himeno1011]

I wonder if the conductor plays FF?? xDDD

[TruthVati]

She might'nt have the same voice as faye wong but she is definitely more of a performer on stage than Faye if you saw Faye Wong's live version while she has a amasing voice she was very rigid throughout the whole song. At least Arina puts her emotion into it.

[yufyfun]

It's amazing how much they love Final Fantasy... They really put up everything to celebrate the anniversaries...

[vinappleinc]

I love how the crowd roared when they figured out what song it was at the beginning. xD

[ghany02]

where can i download all of this?  a dvdrip

[Suwandi]

Thanks for uploading!!!

[MissTaGoo]

@Suwandi no problem :D

[arriesdavid]

@MissTaGoo thanks toooo!!!

[MissTaGoo]

@arriesdavid ^^

[Negisenseifangirl]

Not Faye Wong, but still good. :) My most favorite song from the FF series. Nevermind the fact if's from FF8, my favorite FF game. :D

[huanghao4861]

哎呀 放大絕招了嘛~我說實話也不行。如果她換一種唱法 我可能不會批評

但她和王菲一樣的詮釋方法~比王菲差 是事實啊

[marcoke34]

that's not faye wong,

she looks so,,

eeeewwwww

[Qupiter]

唱的真的很沒感情...

[roughneck13]

@Qupiter 哪你來唱吧！show respect dude...

[flamevizier]

i remember, it sucked having to hold back tears after i beat the game in front of all my cousins and siblings lol

[Angelwings6843]

Wow... nice song! 0:D I used to be such a big final fantasy fan, but I still listen to the music on my computer and I still have final fantasy 6! I thingk its the sadest one aparently... 0:D

[msanimedude]

i wonder how these ppl get picked.

wonder if they're going to have another anniversary celebrating FFVIII.

[keithc00]

she did a great job. faye is better in some details so the feeling differs a little bit. (including  her outlook and facial expression haha) but she is not bad. a great sound too...

but of course faye"s talent is unbeatable.

[huanghao4861]

比王菲差 沒有王菲的技巧。。。這是誰在唱。。。。

[roughneck13]

@huanghao4861 比王菲差，哪有怎樣？你來唱啊！幹！

[NANAaiko]

love the cellists!!!!!!!!! n the whole concert!

[HICARUSUNSHINE]

best song of my life ... Oh god i want to cry T___T

[crazylover888]

who is she? sounds horrible....sorry -.-

[anggie1010]

faye wong??? take a good look,,, that's arina,,, maybe she's form indonesia,, coz thi orchestra is from indonesia,,

[connhilun]

Man , the song 's ruined by her voice , Only F.Young can sing it sweet like the love story of Riona and Squall

[Froststripe14]

Does anyone know if they will ever show this on American tv? or on tv again?

[zetazama]

dam this game got nice songs.

[abecraze18]

wow ii remember my final fantasy seasons when im trying to ending it 4 two months hehehe im happy that i wach this video remembering the old good days

[Wollakazoo]

Wow.. this reminds me, I didn't finish the game!!

[simonpvp]

who is she?

[SGEShadow]

That's not Faye Wong....still a good song though.

[ProudFinn1]

i agree that faye wong will always sing this song perfectly. but it dosent matter. This song tampers with your emotions in a way that you always end up teary eyed. Its about the love and romance between Squall and Rinoa and Laguna and Raine. FF8 was a very emotional and passionate Game, in a way that makes you adore it. and thats what this song depicts. So to make it simple. Any one can sing this song and sing it Beautifull. know why? Because love conquers all. :)

[JintoSoul]

Arina is no Faye but still awesome

[plue03]

cmon tads. that's why its called a "RENDITION" go look up in the dictionary in case you dont know. all this rant that Faye is better sucks.. i bet Arina can sing better than those people who think highly of themselves..

[LilCyco223]

i'm in the process of replaying all the ones i own (4-13, including x2 and excluding 11 for the simple fact i can't deal with mmorpgs) i can't wait to get back to this part in 8. except for the propagators--they can keep those!

[ariobanana]

aaaah......soooo.....touching.­....

remembering my days when i played FF VIII.....

[diethel]

It is true that the originals are better but I still think it's good :)

[LaxBboys]

is it just me or the audio is kind of sound weird? Her voice is great!!!

[Nominee100]

Oh my god..... i cry... ist maervellous

[SchizoRiku]

to fill up for faye...this singer has guts

[yayaiceice]

if you want to talk negative. go to negativetube ...if it doesn't exist, go make one!

[raydredX]

@yayaiceice It's a porn site. O.O

[andicantgetup]

@raydredX lol I just checked it and it is a porn site, rofl

[talkingchinese]

You guys are being so picky! This singer is so close to Faye Wang, it's unbelievable! This is the best cover you'll find!!! The quality isn't great, but if you'll really listen to her VOICE, it's almost a mirror of Faye Wang ...

[Kokia08]

i simply cant appreciate her voice... or the way she delivered the song............

[darkkyuin]

yea same here...i just think Faye has the best version no matter what...but the background music improved though...if only the background music was like this in Faye's version...

[LethalQuincy]

Evey single time I hear this songs make me cry like a dumbass :(

[Dingoxyloid]

this was the game of my youth man this brings back memories

[chichiboypumpi]

perhaps some girl in the Philippines can sing this lovely piece better, much better

[thunderwillow]

you got to conquer with feelings and sympathy, not sadness, in material world, only EU will do faster in it then the US, Canada, perhaps Korea, Tailand.

[Th3Skull3r]

its amazing how attached some fanboys can get to one person singing one exact song that if anybody else sings it they will automatically dislike it.

[mahyan10]

like the orchestra but the voice leaves much to be desired..

lacks some of the emotion compared to the original faye wong version..

all in all a passable rendition.. good thing i like the song :D

[yanel03]

faye wong still fits that song

[RinoaMC]

dont like her voice... :(

[Minus0101]

Its amazing how some people have such an amazing voice in more then 1 language. I sound like a cat scratching their nails across a blackboard when i just speak normally, let alone for entertainment, lol

[stickylily]

speechless...

[thunderwillow]

exactly.

[Lonesky1988]

Good song, but what is up with her hair?

It like she woke up on the wrong side of the bed and got 5 minutes to prepared. Still, she got such a beautiful voice.

[raCteJ]

She probably was stressing out really bad or something. Trust me, stress can do that to your hair if you're not careful. :/

[MidgarHeretic]

man i love this song

[vicisanti]

Qué nostalgia... Una canción preciosa.

[azura13liss]

haha i only got goosebumps because it reminded me of a past girlfriend i had in middle school, when this song was so popular. haha. coincedentally now my life is like that of Laguna. wait i forget, did Rain die in the game?

[pantherkiller0000]

yes rain died

[ryngonz]

I got goosebumps. Soothing indeed.

[Chule89]

Beautifull <3

[RogueDementor]

so... is this song in english even in the japanese version of the game?

[00Yukime00]

yep

[raCteJ]

Yeah, Nobuo made the song to be sung in English.

[theuglyhairmonster]

how can you hate this version its in the game you wankers

[MikePinkney]

this version isnt in the game, this is a cover

[HolyDeity]

This version is in the game. Various times in the game. But, you hear the full version at the end of the game. I think the music is a bit different in this one.

[MikePinkney]

?_? what i meant was, this actual recording isnt in the game...

[rimiko86]

ofc is diference :P this is just cover ^_^ and...the original from faye wong is better ;)

[rimiko86]

its cover!...orignal and game version -> faye wong

[TheRealGriev3r]

well,I,too,think that Faye's version is better. Can't realy tell you why. I'm just into Faye's voice

[TheMiddleman153]

People's!!! Stop hating.. Faye Wong's version was amazing and Arina did a solid job here as well.. lets remember that this concert isn't trying to top the original performaces but instead celebrating it.

Sit back and enjoy the show.. stop wastin your time comparing and debating, that's not the reason why they put this together

[gfskill]

Ok people, unwritten rule of concerts like this...don't waste time complaining and enjoy the effort people made to celebrate FF series

[flamevizier]

@TheMiddleman153 well said

[behindthemyth]

@TheMiddleman153 To be honest, I can't see the difference. I just sit and reminisce about playing FF8 and thinking about the romance this song offers,

[DragoniteAus]

i'm playing this song on my wedding day then the night after me and my wife will play all the final fantasy games

[MissTaGoo]

haha best idea ever

[kx10ngk]

fck yeah dude that a fcken plan

[JackieDeBurg]

@DragoniteAus: This is so nerdy, but I would so do it!

[qczhao]

@DragoniteAus wouldn't you rather consummate your marriage? :p

[absolutroot]

@DragoniteAus

If you can play all the final fantasy games through in 1 night, you are a God amongst nerds.

[sayakachan95]

@absolutroot isn't that just impossible?

[lcltomorei]

@DragoniteAus

"Me and my wife will play all the final fantasy Games".... LOL Love it, may copy that idea haha

[pupu830]

I prefer faye wong's version; but this is a live concern while faye's version is studio recorded so I can't tell who's actually better.

[horrorvictim]

I think Faye performed this live as well, I think there's a youtube video of it so you can just do a search ^_^

[raCteJ]

Yeah, the audio is never quite the same during a recording of a concert (ESPECIALLY on YouTube) compared to a studio recording.

[wangjun727]

i prefer Faye Wong's version.

[RocksyCloud]

Nothing can beat Faye's version.

[devilmaybelaugh]

she sings well

[kevcda]

not really. faye much better. her voice immature. and she cant control it very well either

[Henrawr91]

:')

[henner777]

I think this is a very hard song to sing. I don't think Faye Wong or Arina here have shown it justice.

The lyrics are far too wordy.

Just my opinion, great song though.

[danceljoy]

Her hand is stiff

[SpiritG0d]

lol?

[danceljoy]

As a performer, I can see that her hand is stiff when doing nothing, looks tense. But she really gets better at the middle ;)

[SpiritG0d]

As a random bum I can tell th.. I cant tell. Sorry

[eternalm00n]

lol i love how ppl just start clapping & cheering when the intro to the song starts haha if i were there, i'd be screaming :D

[MarcioCardosoBrazil]

I finished FF XII yesterday!!!

I Love FF!!!

Now, I'm waiting FF XIII and Versus XIII!

Long life to Final Fantasy!!!

And I love sondtrack too!!!

[rajne15]

fantastic.......eyes on me and suteki da ne.....great great music.......sana may concert din d2 sa pinas....huhuhuhuhu

[edujaymz]

Haha sana nga.

[xxXjordeldropdeadXxx]

mocca :D

[vincent10660]

I just love the playstation Final Fantasy's... l3

-automatic fave and 10/5-

[kokfah]

i started to play FF6 1st.. then FF7 and tactics.. FF8 then FF9, then FF4 & 5 then FF10 and X-2, then FF1,2 and 3.. then lastly FF12. i haven't had the chance to play FF11 and the one for PSP.. sigh... now waiting for FF13 and FF14 for online... watched almost all of the final fantasy movie.. they are good... FULL of Fantasies.. thank you Squaresoft.. keep up the good JOB

[bin1127]

Wow, that's almost exactly the sequence i played FF.  Love Square and FF.

[kokfah]

yup, they are the BEST

[squallvsbarbare]

putain! mais elle moche, je prefere la chanteuse original

[ChikoChonny]

Simplemente INSUPERABLE

[ronesolid]

Im crying HERE! .. =') the Only word for it is PERFECT!

[Jithdark]

FINAL FANTASY IS THE BEST.., especially VII,VIII,IX and X.. they really make me fall in love to play RPG.. GREAT GAME.. GREAT MUSIC.. GREAT STORY.. GREAT ENDING.. it's just perfect..

[Aerithandwilus]

With this music.... I still don't understan why some people hates Final Fantasy.... It's pure magic, dreams, hope.... and love... :)

[MrKirigakure]

誰？フェイウォン？

(Who is it?Faye Wong?)

[thedirtman00]

Arina Ephipania of Mocca.

[KailJudgement]

This is just magical =D, FinalFantasy 8 <33333

[lpy031504]

這,,,,這不是王菲耶/ _ \

[wirogendeng212]

wow!!! twilight orchestra!!!!

man.....they're awesome!!!

[tedhellcaster]

the first few seconds of the song gave me terrible goosebumps

[teelein]

well sometimes the singer came too early, thats bad

[OMEGAZERO91331]

ughhhhh!!! why couldn't they have the piccolo doing the solo instead of the flute!!!!!

[2RandomGirls]

This is such a great song! When I was playing FFVIII (Still not done, btw.) I heard it in the scene on the Ragnarok. I couldn't believe there was a song with words in the game! You know, because there isn't any voice acting. I wish I could sing like her. She's one of the most amazing voices I've ever heard! xD

[hotan2]

this wasa great game and this was an even better song, when i first heard it like 10 years ago i was just awe and now even in my late 20's i still love it

[ootubumame]

歌うまいけどかわいくねえ！

[auron21]

Faye Wong, is Faye Wong. Its just how its gonna be. but she did a good job, fantastic actually. I think in part why it sounds funny at some places is the actual audio recording.

But just fantastic none the less
