@SindarinElealar Your comment is a complete joke, yes the intro and the song where indeed amazing but if you say thats the only thing that made you play FF8 through then you completely underestimate the game, maybe you are more happy with the recent bullshit FFs.
i remember i finished playing final fantasy 7 and thought :(((( there will be no games like ff7 ever & i bought ff8 not long after & heard this playing !!! :O and i thought YESSSSS WE ARE ON !!
Since they had Sephiroth on the background screens for when they did One Winged Angel, I'm surprised they didn't have FF8's intro playing there for this o.O
I find it funny @ 0:40 Fithos (what's next...) Lusec (i forgot the lyrics) Wecos (eeeeergh it's killing me...) Vinosec ( THE LYRICS ARE WAAAAAY TOOOOOO HARD!!!)
@HappilyNeverEver i can swear,in 20 years of life,no game ever made comes even close to the epicness of FFVIII's opening.....the music,the graphics,and the emotions.....it's just incredible....every single time i watch it,it almost makes me cry....nobuo is made of pure epicness
NO. No sequels to FF8... it might potentially be worse than FFX-2... AND WE DO NOT WANT THAT! (I mean, it wasn't that bad, but it was no where close to being as good as FFX) Anyway, HOLY GILGAMESH NUTS! This gave me chills!
You do know that FF7 was the one leading game that help produce FF8-13 and the ones soon coming right? if it wasnt for FF7 being released on PS1 where would we be? they were still going through the kinks with the music, it was great dont get me wrong ^^
Just saying, but if any of the games had been the first 3D Final Fantasy game, they'd have the same hype around them that FF7 does, I accept that FF7 was an amazing game, however.
Answered your own question there. Composer is the Writer, Conductor is the Director. It's like asking Stephanie Meyer to direct Twilight(Not that it would have sucked less). Each has their own profession, most conductors out there haven't written much of anything, whereas most composures don't conduct very well.
(Avoids the electric outlet jokes. They're WAY too easy.)
From 2:01 - 2:05 , was the most epic part. Look at the conductor, added with that part of music. I think I wanna be a conductor of Final Fantasy music now... He feels it so epicly.
The recording makes it sound so constrained. It seems like theres a giant towel over the orchestra...always liked the bass trombone part for this song.
I brought over ff8 to play at a kid of whom I look after . He said "I'm probably gonna laugh at the abyssmal graphic and pixels" in a smart ass manner. I showed him the opening movie and he almost shat his pants! YEYA!!!! I don't really like one winged angel. It's hard to get into the tune at the start because it's just a bunch of orchestrated mush. To be honest the rock remix in ff7 AC was better but it doesn't Nobuo's style. =(
In summer he will come again to Germany with this music in Cologne...this time I want to go ...but it is so expensive with the train and hotel...but I think I do it! It is one of my dreams to see the music live!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Well such a great song but the best music is still in ff6 and square completley ignored it because it was a less commercial game with no "emo-teen-depressed-cute characters" such a shame...
naaaahhhh ffviii was great with much meaning in my opinion. vi was good too i agree but the fact that it isnt much promoted is because of the 2d graphics. if vii didnt have 3D shit in it maybe FF would never be the legendary series it now is.
Wish they created a remake of FF8 for ps3 instead of embarrassing themselves with those 'new' productions that are so widely criticized it's not funny anymore....
@ellicor231 definitely. Man just imagine how incredibly popular a modern console remake of ff7 and 8 would be. Super detailed models? ACTUAL DIALOGUE!? yeah, it'd be sick.
My only problem is that the female voices are lost behind the orchestra. The sequence at 1:10 through 1:17 is a perfect example where both choral lines should be competing with eachother louder and louder until - as in the original cinematic - the sword hits thr ground and they're all silenced.
exactly my point. they're sound can't possibly cut through as well in a straight line, let alone allow them to hear what all the other parts are singing. Not even a curve or anything. Guess I would have to hear the acousitcs in that space though.
FF8's big failing was its limitations on the PSX's half-cocked video card. To be honest, even a PS2 capable remake would be pretty thoroughly impressive. Of course, PS3 would be the more likely choice now, since it's got more power, even though not everyone's got one yet. Still too bloody expensive.

Maybe its big failing was its idiotic magic drawing system, and its less than stellar storyline....big no no on remakes 8 onwards....no for another 10 years or so.
