@AerithRosa It's called a VOCALOID. In particular this voice bank is called MEIKO. If you want to know more about it there's a ton of links on the side here -->
Basically you can make the computer sing anything you type in.
If they are gonna remake this game I have three demands:
*keep the heart and soul intact, no commercial bull please
*don't obsess with tedious cutscenes everywhere, nobody is interested in five-minute long unskippable sequences for every single plot part
*keep Ted Woolsey's translation, it has too much charm to just be blantantly removed in favour of some "more literal" translation which probably will turn out extremely boring in comparison.
@Laurelindo Ted Woolsey's translations were for the most part left intact since they were rather accurate, with the exception of swearing replaced with creative lines. sadly, "Son of a submariner" was replaced by "Son of a sandworm" (Kefka simply dropped an S-bomb in the Japanese version). the opera lyrics were beautifully redone so they match the melody (you can actually sing along like with the Japanese version now)
@KinCryos The opera lyrics were redone well, it's just when new translations focus too much on translating word-for-word with no own ideas that annoys me sometimes.
That's what I liked about Ted Woolsey in this game - he added another feel to the translated script, which is actually very important because a line in Japanese will sometimes sound weird in English if it is literally translated.
The vocaloid sings it the way I imagined it to be. Celes wasn't a professional opera singer so as much as I love the orchestrated live performances of this song with the powerful singers.. this version, her voice sounds sweet and young like I think it's supposed to!
If they remade FFIV on the DS, I'm sure that Square-Enix is going to remake FFV and surely FFVI. If not for the DS, then it will have to be a nicer remake like on the PS3 or PSP. Keep your chin up and hope for the best! =)
That really bites. I guess it's all just a matter of timing and having the money at the right time. If not the GBA port, then a few more years down the line, a possible FFVI DS remake should be coming along. Whatever system it comes out on, you can bet I'll be there getting it! The GBA port was pretty good in terms of translation, but you know that they always seem to make it a little more clean in translation (i.e, not as much curse words, etc). But yeah! I'm sure you won't miss out next time!
Gotta say, I'm a die hard FFVI fan. This scene was moving, even when the singing was just "Wuu wuu wuu wuuuu", so to see it done on vocaloid is a real treat, kudos!
The Vocaloid's voice actress. Vocaloids are basically programs that reproduce notes and syllables previously recorded. When you type the lyrics and melody, they sing.
I know, but maybe that's 'cause people are too awe-struck by this song. I've used vocaloid on some of my own music. It's definitely an interesting tool, but the results do invariably sound like a japanese girl with a cold, so you have to take that into consideration with the type of song you're making. It sometimes helps to add some delay, reverb, doubling, phasers etc etc.

this theme kinda similar to aegis theme in ff7
mithra32 3 years ago
actually, it's the other way around.
Aeris's theme is a modified version of Celes's theme. In fact, some of FF6's soundtrack had been remade into future Final Fantasy's music.
For example, the music that is played when you are on the airship on both FF6 and FF7 and possibly FF8 (The ragnarok) are almost similar.
It's not that Square isn't creative enough. They are making full use of the potentials that their previous songs can do.
