[saitake27]

やべぇ・・まじFF最高だわ；；

[AerithGreatGospel]

I teared up. It's so beautiful. ;_; My favorite track from Final Fantasy VI brought more to life.

[jsmsaulo]

Best piece

[krausier]

I can die happy now!

[Xcyper33]

This...is beautiful.

[yer6]

nerdgasm!

[Strider1048]

An actual version based on the game events... I've been wanting to get that produced for some time now... good to know people want to see it :)

[MrDANCANTDANCE]

1upgamer is right tho ... it does need the ultros bit :P

[pitviper71]

This blows, I would rather watch the 16-bit opera scene than this anyday. Just men in tuxedos & a woman in a fur coat. BAH!

[quelltech]

Wow. Just when I thought the worst part of FFVI couldn't possibly get any more embarassing to watch.

[mouakyle17]

My chest hurts....becuase this has brought my inner child out XD

[ignissz]

BEst game and BSO ever.

[rufusfan]

To have seen this on stage....would have been so so amazing...

[zulemars]

I'd die of pure joy if someone gifted me tickets to see this live. I just loved this

[sennin84]

5:37 fuck yeah!

[Ciberya]

Or maybe a Dirt Dragon Battle

[Ciberya]

I was expecting Locke, Sabin, and Edgar to crash through the ceiling along with Ultros

[waddalicious]

@Ciberya and then setzer comes in and steals celes away =D

[Ciberya]

"I Locke the world's premiere treasure hunter shall save Maria!"

[MrQRU]

Nobuo Uematsu. The King of Video Game Soundtracks. This has teleported me back to my childhood. Thank you for posting.

[juaquino]

I would not have chosen her as my Celes... but this Final Fantasy is what sucked me in to all of them. Genius music and storytelling.

[magikmana]

this still gives me goose bumps after... hell i don't even know how many years

[magikmana]

@magikmana i just don't like how they kill the rush at 2:15 it should have looped once more

[xanatose]

Where is Ultros?

I wish Square would make a movie of FF6.

[N8DawggTD]

@xanatose

now THAT would be epic

[Gulliman01]

Don't Forget a Thief, a Prince, and a muscled twin of the Prince fall out after the Octopus, and they have a Epic Fight with each other. lol NOW THAT! would be something to see lol.

[tuzathedarknight]

This just shows how brilliant Nobuo is. He can make just a simple video game so popular you get stuff like this! This is one of the greatest parts to any video game I have ever played!!!!

[darkspirit14]

These people or "actors" should at LEAST dress up like how it happened. Not in tux and a big ol dress

[Ryusei24]

ooo dracos mr goo who sang to zanarkand/the skies above with the dark mages

[Testsubject909]

Impressario would be proud!

[SuperErmolaev]

Биороботы, да и музыка га....вно! Их бы энергию, да в мирных целях!

[SuperErmolaev]

Биороботы, да и музыка га....вно!

[SuperErmolaev]

Биороботы, да и музыка - Г...но!

[XlordchaosforteX]

no ultros :(

[777letalis]

lol.. I'm laughing so hard of joy.. This is so awesome! Even got a tear in my eye ;D

[justa16thnote]

Those guys that did the kazoo medley thing can do the BEST Ultros scene.

Uematsu is in a purple octopus scene, the kazoo guys are dressed up as Gau, Locke, Cyan, and Sabin, and Edgar adn they tackle him and Locke has to sing for Draco! THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!!!

[drag0nsknight]

Man, wheres the octopus up on the catwalks?!, lol

[darkdevil399]

only if she was like Celes...

She looks like some dude that put on some chins and a possibly a ton or two.

[GuitarSlingerPK]

@Scott97169 Really??? This isn't MTV you fool, you choose a person based on talent not their physical appearance. Or have you spent your whole life so absorbed by the images the media presents that you can't figure that out.

[beckmantheman]

I love how Prince Ralse looks like Hans Gruber from Die Hard. Badass!

[rebornvisualministry]

I just saw an earlier vid of this same opera... she's been eating a lot of sushi since the last vid, I guess!!!

[superrandy69]

whoever played prince ralse is awesome

[MatMadik]

OMG!!! Bikkurishita! Bokuno, zettai daisukidayo!!!

[AlbertWesker29]

huematsu es un genio

[NightingaleLuna]

whats the story for this anyway?

[bobfantasy]

Well... this is a video from an version opera from a music that makes part of a video game called Final Fantasy VI. In the game, there's a part when "you", the player, enters in an opera house and have to perform an opera. This is the song. Well.... HAIL SQUARE-SOFT/SQUARE-ENIX (whatever)!!! HAIL NOBUO UEMATSU!!! HAIL FINAL FANTASY SERIES!!!!!!!!!!

[cravis123]

thank you very much....for uploading these videos,I am very happy cause this uematsu's genious composition,is in real not only in games....I always thinking when playing ff6 in the past,if this song is going to play with real instruments..but my wish come true;)...thank you again

[Spirultima]

And Nobuo Uematsu does this with just sound? Why don't people see him as the genius he is?

[kazupon1967]

お姉さん・・・太った？

Does she become fat?

[superrandy69]

this is awesome wish they had the concert in english as well

[percphs]

... ... pitch. Goodness.

[chsco]

its the same opera cast as the one featured on Tour de Japon !! (with Arnie Ruth/Roth being conductor this time)

[SteveNGarth]

The 2 male singers really do work together, I've never been a fan of the female opera voice, but the harmonies are great. and to think this was a song for a game. final fantasy has really broke the boudnaries with music over the many games they have now produced and to have a full concert like this just shows how good the original compositions were to enable them to be played by a full orchestra.

[SteveNGarth]

I have the Voices concert on DVD which I imported from Japan and its well worth getting for anyone who apreciates music. i got mine from cdjapan (just google it)

[KujaSephy]

This crazy japanese people can do awesome things like this!

[TKDJJ1]

5:25 & 5:38 The Rock should watch and learn. That's how you do a People's Eyebrow!

[1upgamer]

They left out the best part! No Ultros?!

D:

I mean I understand that they can't suddenly have a purple octopus on stage...but at least play the song!

[darron13]

If someone had come out in an Ultros suit, that would make it the best stage performance for a FF concert EVAR xD

Also, this is awesome, I love the voices concert!

[rebornvisualministry]

@darron13 well this song was first an opera and then included into the game... so no ultros... :P

[papajohn5656]

@darron13 and no, no it wouldn't make it awesome, it would de-legitimize this as real music.

[rebornvisualministry]

@1upgamer opera first.... then the game sorry there was no ultros in the original opera!!! :P

[KyvannShrike]

@1upgamer Ya, they coulda played the song at least.

ROFL, ya they can't have a purple octopus on stage.

[Arcadia1810]

@1upgamer FUCK that, BRING ON TEH ULTROS!! >O
