Final Fantasy VI - Opera Scene (1/3)

[sharkmaster99]

MY EARS JUST EXPLODED

[dwab321]

Good lord! What is your frameskip set on? 50?

[Shoinie]

I love how the conductor isn't even conducting to the rhythm xD hahaha :)

[tuzathedarknight]

@Morgil27 I don't know. The GBA version sounds a bit iffy and I don't like the newer lyrics

[SuperYuuki3]

ITS WRONG!!! Wtf? In my game the words are different! What happened to 'Must my final vows exchanged be with him and not with you? Were you only here to fight away my fears, oh speak, guide me anew'? I love that verse... Gah why's it so different!

[GuesssMyUserName]

@SuperYuuki3 That's the remake. Total balls how much they changed things in the new script - this song especially, I didn't expect them to mess around with such a classic moment.

[Shoinie]

@GuesssMyUserName although the new lyrics actually go in time with the music, so you can sing along :P

[fhistleb]

@GuesssMyUserName The changed lines pissed off alot of players :P I'm one of those players.

[Khoiruchan]

@GuesssMyUserName That's couldn't be called as "messed around"....The US's SNES version have some mistake in words, make the line not sync with the music. The game staff only tried to get a better translation, make it closer to the JP version & synchronizing them in the remake.

[Shoinie]

@SuperYuuki3 lol, that's the gameboy advance version (I've got them both) but yes, they changed the lyrics, as in THIS ONE is the original!

[strikerk]

@SuperYuuki3 You played the remade version~ ugh, so awful what they did to it... but since its your first, you're stuck on sadly. Oh well~ <3

[carlitoxxe]

This is the most beautiful videogame scene ever. And I'm no joking about it, this is georgeus

[sireofzelda]

If you look the conductor never conducts a different bpm. Its all the same to him. It makes no musical sense.

[HolyBomb]

Beautiful...

[PouKii]

PIKA and CMON? T_T

[MonoAzul]

Back when I played FFVI years ago, Celes singing made me laugh like crazy. Does that make me a horrible person? It probably does.

[classicblue]

lmao no the game couldn't emulate a real female voice and the atempt did sound funny.

[samtheman264]

@MonoAzul Nah, if that had a real person singing it would ruin the effect!

[TheCloudofDarkness]

Awesome.Thanks for sharing!

[Morgil27]

Meh, the GBA version is much better. The Virtual "Voice" sounds much more real and the lyrics much more closely match the music.

[n00f]

GBA was great, the entire sequence is great regardless of platform, but the SNES version has its charm, and I'll never know the song by anything other than the original score.

[TheRealShadoninja]

the video is missing the most important part of the overture.

[Gamepopper101]

I wonder if there was anyone sad/epic enough to sing the songs in this opera

[darkpig13]

they did in Japanese with the black mages 3rd album

[Roboy213]

check out the tour de japon rendition of this song. It's also in japanese but fully orchestrated and it sound amazing.

[aretiredsuperhero]

Hope thay remake FFVI on ds.

[BlackPhoenixStudios]

They will, I mean they've started remaking all of their games, I wouldn't be surprised if they announce it sometime soon. This was one of the better ones, in my opinion.

[aretiredsuperhero]

I got into Final Fantasy VERY late, so FFIV DS was my first one. I loved it, but many have said VI was the best, possibly as good as Chrono Trigger (another RPG I only got into with the DS Remake).

I plan on getting a PS3 some time in the future, which will open some doors for my newly found Final Fantasy and Square love. I could just play the PS1 remake, AND I could play Chrono Cross, download FFVII, not to mention I could play XIII. A DS remake of VI would still be nice though. :)

[samtheman264]

@aretiredsuperhero What did you think FF4 DS? It was the first one I got into too, I found it difficult but it was good because of the difficulty

[aretiredsuperhero]

@samtheman264

Same here, though thankfully I only had to grind once early on. Anyway, I just love it! The battles, the music, the story, I just love it!

Right now I''m playing through VII on my PSP, I think I'm almost finished the first disc, and am enjoying the story and the world it despite the occasional mistranslation ("This guy are sick"). I actually wonder where the whole 'Cloud being a whiny bitch' thing comes from, it probably happens after Aeris dies. >_>

[samtheman264]

@aretiredsuperhero The only bad part was when you find out the "real" villain, I usually don't care for those plot twists, it's basically a cliche. But yeah it was great, and I'm planning on replaying VII on my PSP eventually, I plan on beating 8 and 9 first.

[Ilovemariofan]

@aretiredsuperhero Yeah I really didn't care for Aeris' death. Sorry if you are against this.

[ss14hero]

@aretiredsuperhero Yeah I don't get it either.Alot of people that call Cloud a whiny bitch just aren't deep enough to truly understand his story and background

[strikerk]

@ss14hero ...dark and emo is not deep. Sorry kid~ there really is very little about his character other than youthful angst. You mistake having any kind of pondering emotion for depth. Everyone feels~ being evocative and having purpose to your actions outside of internalizing conflict is what makes you deep. Cloud is hollow~ which all too easily is mistaken for depth.

You want a deep FF character? Try Cecil.

[d1ngopwns]

@aretiredsuperhero PS3 and Xbox 360 plz :P

or at least PSP (dont have ds) (oh i know remake it on psp2 [the one they officially produce now])

[imhallowarren]

@aretiredsuperhero psvita PLS The ff4 remake was great

[Balth3465]

Cuuuuuuuuuuute xD

I love this scene :)

[dondons1987]

Lol i remember how epic this was when i first played it ^-^

[InuyashaGirl7291]

I can't really remember but, are the SNES and Anthology translations different?

[Asahamana]

I think they are

[LezarthValeth]

love that scene xD locke is the best

[KendallHartz]

Aw! Locke is SO cute!

[xxxclessxxx]

LoCKE is the best

[ff6man]

Oh hai GMUN! ^_^

[GuesssMyUserName]

ff6man! How'd you find me!

[ff6man]

Didn't find you, I found a final fantasy VI opera scene video. Just wanted to watch it. :-)

[GuesssMyUserName]

Heh, no surprise!

ff6ultraman > ff6man though! :P

[GuesssMyUserName]

Oh yeah, I forgot! On my playthrough that I made this clip from, I named Shadow after ya!

[ShiroKage009]

I hope this game is redone in 3D EVEN if on the DS or something (since I missed the whole SNES :S) seeing 4 done in this way I don't think that 6 will be so much to ask for ;)

This scene can be the best EVER if redone in 3d even if just a cut scene as a fan service, why don't we see such scenes now that they have all that money to prepare them?

[ShiroKage009]

A small thing I noticed with the small bit of japanese I know is that the music is some lines clearly represent the japanese translation ... looks like that lip-language problem wasn't born with voice acting :P

[Gergoth]

Imagine the Scene with PS3 or Xbox 360 Visuals that would be something i can die happy with

[Doklim]

I always love this scene. It's a classic.

[chandnee]

sobs sobs !

[littlekogis]

I actually started sobbing during that.

This game does not need to be remade.

[GuesssMyUserName]

Eh, I'd KILL for a 3D remake of it... although how they edited the script of everything in FFVI Advance was just crushing. =/

But at least the new features in FFVIA sorta made up for it! Especially the music player.

[thatgreekguy01]

Now I'm a video game purist, but the FFVI advance translation was better. The opera made sense to me. And yes I have played both versions so I know what I am talking about. I just wish they could make this, at the very least, with the SNES music and the GBA synth voices.

[CielBlanche]

Neither translation is very good, unfortunately.

[GuesssMyUserName]

your face is bees, unfortunately.

[dawillcoolio]

This is the greatest scene in video game history!
