A really powerfull piece for sure. Still sends shivers down my spine when i heard it. I just love the guy at 5:00 and the accomplished look on his face. Almost like he's saying..,. "Fuck yeah.. Done my job.."
i dont cry because this song itself is sad... i cry because i remember a badass guy with a 6ft long masamune shanked my favorite girl in the back and caused this song to play... how am i supposed to fight jenova if i got all these damn tears in my eyes!! damn youuuuuuu sephiroth!! rage!!! lol (<--me 15 years ago... still havent forgiven him, tho, he's still pretty sick. lol)
I love rock 'n roll, indie, dance, even some rap, but in my mind, this is true music! Emotion, tranquility, exhilaration, nothing can prepare you for the epicness of entering a final fantasy world! =)
Tetsuya Nomura: "[...] Now, when I reflect on Final Fantasy VII, the fact that fans were so offended by her sudden death probably means that we were successful with her character. If fans had simply accepted her death, that would have meant she wasn't an effective character."
First and only time I ever cried when playing any game of the FF-series. Ever since I heard this song I've been searching high and low for something more beautiful than this. Let's just say that I'm still looking for it... Only piece that's come close is "To Zanarkand", which also is an Uematsu piece
lol, wouldn't that have been some shit. Cloud's holding her balling his eyes out and then Barrett comes in and is like "Yo Cloud, I got this", and phoenix downs her back up.
Omnislash? It was just a bunch of colorful slashes in different directions.
If it were Tifa's Limit Breaks or Cid's, then it would have been awesome. Or if it were something that was only useable right there, but it was not. It was just Omnislash. Obtainable in Disk 1.
don't know how I feel about this being studied as "classical gaming literature." I hope the music lives on, but it's defiantly not classical. Maybe as a study on the music of the era =D.
Also, rude ass audience clapping when the piano started....fagots...
Aerith will forever be a symbol to all of humanity to follow your heart,protect those dearest to you, and knowing that even though humans are flawed we can still change our destiny.
I was only 4 when VII came out, so I didn't have the "maturity" to play it until a few years ago...and by then the whole world didn't bother hiding the fact that Aeris dies, so I already knew it was gonna happen. Took the whole experience away :(
damn, beleive me. i disliked aerith, until when i reached to scene where she got killed, and i remained stunned.... like wth?
for some strange reason, i felt how my heart was shattering, even though it was supposed to be Just a game... but.... wow, i barely hold back my tears by then. and i stopped playing ff7 for a while after that scene... rlly, rlly sad scene, and it still brings me similar feeling by then when i hear this music
@GlantRiesta You can't blame them, classical concert is rare in Indonesia. If there's, it's not in the highlight (hence there're no DVD's for this). Most of the people here probably are probably in their first time attending a classical concert. And this orchestra is the first final fantasy orchestra concert in Indonesia (and probably the last for a long time).
So you can see the result of full blown excitement and lacking of standard concert manners here.
the only song to actually make me shed tears......i cried like a little bitch when Aeris died in ffvii....laugh if you want but it got through my ice and stone heart....
It's amazing, really. Nobuo can put so much emotions to this music... It's like you are really there in that story, crying for Cloud ): Nobuo really likes his music.
It is beauty beyond measure... I find myself listening to it on the streets when I walk home...you don't hear the traffic, cars honking, people screaming, you just hear this melody, this piece of heaven in your ears. It amazing to hear something like that, even if I was just walking home. to hear nothing but this playing into my heart.
@Littlekittiangel perfect break from reality! This melody just makes you forget everything crazy goin on in the world! I think they should fly a plane around the world with this blasting out of some insanely huge speakers, maybe it would bring peace for a moment? lol, or maybe I just dream too much! :p R.I.P Aeris (Yes, from the European version lol)
@strifey07 I completely agree, In those times Is when you are truly thinking to yourself where you are or your just completely engrossed by this heaven;y music in your ears, All of these characters play a role in your life. Whether or not they are real does not matter to me. these characters have a core, a essence that completely demands your full un-divided attention when your in complete awe by them even to this day.
One of my favorites of the series and a beautiful piece of music. Also one of the first songs I learned on piano and guitar and it's still a joy to play and listen to.
I'm the only person out of all of my freinds who listen to this type of music. Meaning all my teen friends are like this is stupid...no it's not! This is so beautiful!
Froststripe14 i so agree with you, its so powerful hearing these great ff musics on a live orchstra (sorry for spelling) i think the reason some people think these types of musics are dumb is because its too deep for them, to emotional they just don't get it.
@Froststripe14 It's sad really. Unless it has a repetitive beat, some synth, and a monotonous bassline, it's apparently not good music, since you "can't dance to it"
They're wrong, though. You can dance to it. You just can't dance like a whore to it. They forget about slow dancing.
@darkseraph2009 Well said. I like fast, upbeat music myself. But it has to be good nad well performed to have any kind of impact on me. I love all of the final fantasy music. Even if I haven't played the game yet. It's just really amazing.
No opinion is right, they can only be argued. All the FInal Fantasy games are amazing, they have changed my life. VII was the best for me because i discovered it when i was a little kid and the way it made me feel was amazing - i felt like i was Cloud when i played it and the musical score was fantastic. Thats why Final Fantasy VII was the best for me, not because I'm some moronic fan boy. It was the best game for me because it was the game that got me started on the amazing Final Fantasy series
...And every time i play Final Fantasy VII it reminds me of that time of my life, how happy i was and how awesome me and my friends thought it was. I hate how this constant argument goes on about which Final Fantasy is best, it's only an opinion - they all kick ass. The only reason people say VII was the best is because it was undoubtedly the most popular. I like to think that I'm more than just a fan to the Final Fantasy series - I like to think they'll remake VII but that will never happen.
What's the fukin' up to you guys? All versions of Square Enix's Final Fantasy are fantastic. How could you compare this one to that one? They're as great as each others.
Shut up about 7 being the best, 4 being the best and 6 being the best, they're all great in their own way along with the rest of the final fantasy music, just appreciate people are still playing the music over and over because of how great it is. I personally judge games that don't have speaking in by music 'cus it's like a silent movie, but still my opinion doesn't matter on which game was the best, this is about the music go on a gameplay video if you want to chat about the games.
The thing with critics of FF7 is that they are mostly years late. Compare ff7 to any rpgs at that time 97-98 and im sure u'll find that no rpg came close in STORYLINE, PASSION n lastly graphics. The only rival was grandia in battlesystem (which i also prefer over ff7) I was one of those gamers who played megaman sonic mario bros. Then i outgrew games. Then along came FF7 which i saw a friend playing and immediately I buy a PS just to play it. That was how brilliant FF7 was 12 years ago.
i couldn't have put it in better words, i remember the gigantic jump that games went from 94-97 starting with donkey kong country FFVI until FFVII wich was a true masterpiece
also I just dont understand how any1 can hate everything about a final fantsy game, Hell simply having Nobuo Ueamatsu doing the composing is enough to make me buy the game, even if it was complete shit
That would be good for them. It seems that people today don't know what good music is. Yeah, I like music that's played with an orchestra, and I'm probably the only person like that in my age group. I like this music a lot, and I think it's amazing.
@oldscoolest Well, you can buy FFIV. Nobuo Uematsu as composer did'nt save this title from being as fail as FFXI. I'm really sorry for that, cause Nobuo rules.
there's something about final fantasy games (especially Vll) that makes people either love it, or hate it...
personally, i love all of them, and while i can regonize faults in them, it doesnt stop me from enjoying them.
ive noticed many people who say ff7 is overrated, which is true, but its like the Dallas Cowboys, People love them because their a great team, and people hate them because they are overrated.
I cried and cried after watching this. I've watched it so many times, but for some reason, it finally got me today. I could never put into words what this game means to me.
FFVII i can admit is VERY popular but there are other games. i mean, people at my school, when i talk about FF, all they talk about is FFVII. hey, i can admit, once you play the game, it blows you away with music and gameplay, but i mean, there are other great FF such a 6, 8 ,9. im not saying FFVII is overused but they made so many compellations of it. and people who talk about it everyday only know about it cause its so popluar, but i bet you they havent played the game to really know it.
dont get me wrong, its a GREAT game with GREAT music and probably the best graphics of my time. i still play it and im blown away by how good these were, whether they were cubic or not.
but the many compellations of it and the fact tht people havent even played it and say how its such a great game makes me a little PO'ed cause they have no idea the emotions you feel when you play this game. but in order of FF in my imporatance (tht ive played) i gotta go with: FFVII, FFVII, FFVI, FFIX, FFX
im just saying tht people shouldnt be so close minded on FFVII cause its so popular. i mean there are other of FF games tht could be better than VII but arent as famous because people still want to be so close minded on one FF.... which is kinda unfair because many of the other FF had great reception to the players...:/
Just watch "TheSpoonyOne"'s review on FFVIII to see what an awful and incoherent mess of cliche and uninspired characters it was.
6 was amazing, as was 7, 8 was memorable for sucking.
I don't know about 9 though, and 10 pissed me off to no end with its caste of obnoxious and poorly written characters.
FF12 would have fallen in the same trap if not for Balthier, who, in my opinion, is the best FF character ever made. He saved that game (as he says "do I have to do everything myself?")
You mean the plan of stopping the ulitmate sorceress compressing time and killing countless lives by...
letting her compress time.. That was one of the most idiotic, uninspired, and poorly written endings to an RPG I have ever seen.
And then, there is no actual closure to the game since it just repeats itself at the orphanage, thus making all your hard work for absolutely nothing. This game is beyond words terrible, as is the romance between Squall and Rinoa.
Agreed. As you've said, Final Fantasy VII was indeed a great game with a great soundtrack (Aeris Theme being one of the best). But there are RPG's beyond FFVII that are just as great if some would open their minds and give them a chance. Think outside the box as the saying goes.
I disagree. I play in an orchestra, and if you don't have emotion you can't hit crescendos or decrescendos - or any other powerful movement - with as much passion as you can if you play with your heart. Music should come from the heart.
man oh man ... the memories of polaying this game are flooding back ... making me wanna go back and go through it again.... i remember crying when i saw aerith die right infornt of me i was so much younger back then and the story of the game was so deep ... the game has been an inspiration to me .. love it to bits especailly this tune ... i promised myself i wouldnt cry" XD
Yeah, agree... though, maybe it's because Square Enix has overexposed 7 than the others.
I remember I didn't recognize the Terra's theme when I went there. I only realize it recently after I finished all FF games but 1&2 and watched the concert videos again.
I guess the other songs weren't that popular among the audience simply because they haven't played the game, nor made an impression in their minds.
Back then, I only recognize Liberi Fatali & Eyes on Me. I got in late and miss the former.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
FFVII is really overdone and overrated in my opinion. I prefer VI but you are correct that it is the most known one out there. A lot of people in general began playing with Final Fantasy VII so thats what they know. And they probably don't go back and play the classics.
You can't blame them though.... VII is the most successful in the FF Series....... They made 1 Movie & 2 Games from FFVII.... Before Crisis and Crisis Core.
Pls. Square Enix... a concert here in the Philippines would be great for me... but not for Square Enix... ,but still, A concert pls... here! I know very few might come but if possible...
I actually liked aerith she had some good limit breaks which were very useful in boss fights. I just wished that she did not die, damn it, first time I played this game I leveled her up so much and then she just died at the end of the first disc, I was like what the hell?
the moment this song plays....the moment the image of sephiroth killing aerith comes in....DAmn you CLoud!! lol jk your still my hero.....but my boy is SQuall!
what are you talking about? People want to hear this music (which was composed amazingly) so why not? This is franchised just right. All their concerts sell out.
I can take this comment with a grain of salt as Final Fantasy 7 can stand as a game in itself without the FF title. The game was good, but sometimes people do over-rate it.
franchised means to grant a franchise (verb) and the noun means the right to market someone's product. Overfranchising is too much marketing of someones product. And no, because the music is spectacular and the concerts sell out, it isn't overfranchised. Something this gorgeous should be orchestrated... as in classical pieces. Yeah. The music was the best part of the game. Nobou Uematsu is a god at composing.
I am surprised the crowd did not know what song it was at the opening! But i am astonished that this rendition may not sound like the other 3 versions i heard live yet it has the same power and beauty. (mainly in the strings)
sugoi ..kono merodii wa suteki .. hontou ni kirei ga !! aerith wa hontou ni yasashii to utsukushii ne ? minna-san , aerith ga suki dayo ne .. kanojo wa hontou ni suki desu ..
this song will always be 1 of the greatest. This and the song at the end of crisis core left a big impression on so many ppl cause both involved the deaths of chars you came to love in the game.

What's the fukin' up to you guys? All versions of Square Enix's Final Fantasy are fantastic. How could you compare this one to that one? They're as great as each others.

@tomypan Lol. You know they were Square Co.(sometimes refered to as squaresoft) until 2 years after FFX was released, right? :P

Shut up about 7 being the best, 4 being the best and 6 being the best, they're all great in their own way along with the rest of the final fantasy music, just appreciate people are still playing the music over and over because of how great it is. I personally judge games that don't have speaking in by music 'cus it's like a silent movie, but still my opinion doesn't matter on which game was the best, this is about the music go on a gameplay video if you want to chat about the games.

The thing with critics of FF7 is that they are mostly years late. Compare ff7 to any rpgs at that time 97-98 and im sure u'll find that no rpg came close in STORYLINE, PASSION n lastly graphics. The only rival was grandia in battlesystem (which i also prefer over ff7) I was one of those gamers who played megaman sonic mario bros. Then i outgrew games. Then along came FF7 which i saw a friend playing and immediately I buy a PS just to play it. That was how brilliant FF7 was 12 years ago.

That would be good for them. It seems that people today don't know what good music is. Yeah, I like music that's played with an orchestra, and I'm probably the only person like that in my age group. I like this music a lot, and I think it's amazing.

there's something about final fantasy games (especially Vll) that makes people either love it, or hate it...
personally, i love all of them, and while i can regonize faults in them, it doesnt stop me from enjoying them.
ive noticed many people who say ff7 is overrated, which is true, but its like the Dallas Cowboys, People love them because their a great team, and people hate them because they are overrated.

FFVII i can admit is VERY popular but there are other games. i mean, people at my school, when i talk about FF, all they talk about is FFVII. hey, i can admit, once you play the game, it blows you away with music and gameplay, but i mean, there are other great FF such a 6, 8 ,9. im not saying FFVII is overused but they made so many compellations of it. and people who talk about it everyday only know about it cause its so popluar, but i bet you they havent played the game to really know it.
oreokookie77 2 years ago 2
dont get me wrong, its a GREAT game with GREAT music and probably the best graphics of my time. i still play it and im blown away by how good these were, whether they were cubic or not.
but the many compellations of it and the fact tht people havent even played it and say how its such a great game makes me a little PO'ed cause they have no idea the emotions you feel when you play this game. but in order of FF in my imporatance (tht ive played) i gotta go with: FFVII, FFVII, FFVI, FFIX, FFX
oreokookie77 2 years ago
hope i didnt offend.
im just saying tht people shouldnt be so close minded on FFVII cause its so popular. i mean there are other of FF games tht could be better than VII but arent as famous because people still want to be so close minded on one FF.... which is kinda unfair because many of the other FF had great reception to the players...:/
oreokookie77 2 years ago 3
Just watch "TheSpoonyOne"'s review on FFVIII to see what an awful and incoherent mess of cliche and uninspired characters it was.
6 was amazing, as was 7, 8 was memorable for sucking.
I don't know about 9 though, and 10 pissed me off to no end with its caste of obnoxious and poorly written characters.
FF12 would have fallen in the same trap if not for Balthier, who, in my opinion, is the best FF character ever made. He saved that game (as he says "do I have to do everything myself?")
Th3Skull3r 2 years ago
You need a review to form an opinion about a game?
Did you even play the game or just watched the review and said "oh hey,this guy is funny and he is probably saying the true! Boo this game sucks!"
FFVIII is awsome with an awsome ending.
linegenrou 2 years ago 2
"awesome ending"
You mean the plan of stopping the ulitmate sorceress compressing time and killing countless lives by...
letting her compress time.. That was one of the most idiotic, uninspired, and poorly written endings to an RPG I have ever seen.
And then, there is no actual closure to the game since it just repeats itself at the orphanage, thus making all your hard work for absolutely nothing. This game is beyond words terrible, as is the romance between Squall and Rinoa.
Th3Skull3r 2 years ago
I ask again,did you play the game or just watched Spoonyone review? Which BTW was meant to be sarcastic and exagerated.

FF VII is the best though, it's not being closed minded, it's just a fact
danielm6626 2 years ago
Agreed. As you've said, Final Fantasy VII was indeed a great game with a great soundtrack (Aeris Theme being one of the best). But there are RPG's beyond FFVII that are just as great if some would open their minds and give them a chance. Think outside the box as the saying goes.

the only thing i regret is the small lack of emotion in japanese orchestras, they play like perfect but has less emotion.
they are still realy god damn nice
jonathanperron 2 years ago
You don't need emotion to play in a orchestra.
It's an orchestra not a rock band.
linegenrou 2 years ago
I disagree. I play in an orchestra, and if you don't have emotion you can't hit crescendos or decrescendos - or any other powerful movement - with as much passion as you can if you play with your heart. Music should come from the heart.

Terradreamer 2 years ago 8
Yeah, agree... though, maybe it's because Square Enix has overexposed 7 than the others.
I remember I didn't recognize the Terra's theme when I went there. I only realize it recently after I finished all FF games but 1&2 and watched the concert videos again.
I guess the other songs weren't that popular among the audience simply because they haven't played the game, nor made an impression in their minds.
Back then, I only recognize Liberi Fatali & Eyes on Me. I got in late and miss the former.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
FFVII is really overdone and overrated in my opinion. I prefer VI but you are correct that it is the most known one out there. A lot of people in general began playing with Final Fantasy VII so thats what they know. And they probably don't go back and play the classics.

You can't blame them though.... VII is the most successful in the FF Series....... They made 1 Movie & 2 Games from FFVII.... Before Crisis and Crisis Core.

I actually liked aerith she had some good limit breaks which were very useful in boss fights. I just wished that she did not die, damn it, first time I played this game I leveled her up so much and then she just died at the end of the first disc, I was like what the hell?

what are you talking about? People want to hear this music (which was composed amazingly) so why not? This is franchised just right. All their concerts sell out.

I don't think "overfranchised" means what you think it means.
mmmawk 2 years ago
I can take this comment with a grain of salt as Final Fantasy 7 can stand as a game in itself without the FF title. The game was good, but sometimes people do over-rate it.
themostoriginal2k 2 years ago
franchised means to grant a franchise (verb) and the noun means the right to market someone's product. Overfranchising is too much marketing of someones product. And no, because the music is spectacular and the concerts sell out, it isn't overfranchised. Something this gorgeous should be orchestrated... as in classical pieces. Yeah. The music was the best part of the game. Nobou Uematsu is a god at composing.
