  • Shall we dance...

  • The fact that the title screen music was written for a recorder ensemble screams "I AM THE SHIT. YOU SHOULD FEEL PROUD FOR BUYING ME".

  • hearing this is just make me wanna play ff9-8-7 untill i get bored, everytimes.

  • Comment removed

  • Sitting in front of the TV playing Final Fantasy IX.

    That is the place I'll return to someday :_(

  • chills ran down my body when the first note hit, nostalgia

    that one feeling from JUST the music proves this game is beyond amazing

  • @666AMC666 I feel like I felt nostalgic the FIRST time I heard this song :P. It's just that kind of song... and Uematsu brilliantly crafted it in a 17th century manner called counterpoint. Not only do the chord changes and competing melodies speak of melancholy, but the compositional style harkens back to days long past. This song's name is even nostalgic! Gawd I would give anything to play this game again...

  • @BustTheNotes well technically u can emulate it

  • Final fantasy 6 is funny as hell.

  • Best playlist.

  • Sometimes I feel that these games, my favorite games in the world, (FFVI,FFVII,FFIX,etc) are the only things in the world that can fill me with this amount of bittersweet nostalgia. It's overwhelming joy and sorrow all wrapped up and spoken for me in the music. I feel like I can't handle the nostalgia... this music always reminds me how short life is... I don't even know how to explain it. I'm just glad I've got the FF fanboys and girls who understand! I wish I could play these games forever...

  • T.T

  • How long did it take you guys to cmplete disc 1 it took me half a day

  • @MrVenonat123 Depends if I did all the sidequesting I could, for example Chocobo Hot & Cold and going to places you wouldn't normally til later.

  • @yamibalus ok everyone is entitled to their opinion

  • Man, hearing these again has put me on the verge of tears.

    MANLY TEARS!

  • @TerenB1 Same here bro!

  • How could someone like this game, but not like 7 or 8? Those games are objectively better, not just in my opinion, but from a logical and analytic standpoint

  • @disturbedking8 no, there really not.

  • @zdude888 I could give you several storyline and character development superiority in those games. And I will, if you can give me even the inkling of a reason why 9 would be better.

  • @disturbedking8 cause every character is different and the plot is so much better than 7 or 8 because sure it has no system but no 2 people can learn the same techniqes

  • @MrVenonat123 You may not know this, but 7 has gone down in gaming history because of its plot and characters. And there are spin off games, movies, whathave you. I'm not saying 9 was a bad game, in fact I rather enjoyed being able to play a 2-player final fantasy. But the game simply doesn't measure up to 7 at the very least.

  • @disturbedking8 ya but if you just see the little details it has it's the best like sure zidane doesn't have the big ass sword like cloud. But he is a lot more faster that and also who doesn't love monkeys.The one reason I love the game is because of vivi's story

  • @disturbedking8 I think the more important factor for why VII is considered important in gaming history is because it brought the JRPG to a larger Western audience due to its high production values - that many FMVs was amazing back then. Not saying the characters and plot didn't have anything to do with it, but the games after like VIII and IX weren't as 'new' as VII was.

  • @Bulbaboy I personally like 8, possibly 10 best. But I still realize that 7 was the first to implement all the things that made 8-10 great.. But then they made 11 and 12... sigh.

  • @disturbedking8 I love 12, I don't really see whats to hate about it

  • @shagohad3 12 had absolutely nothing going for it. The voice acting was terrible, the graphics, if they improved at all, were just minorly improved. The characters were transparent for the most part, with the exception of Balthier. He was actually a reason I could tolerate the game. The battle system was awful; I was looking forward to a final fantasy that wasn't turn based, just for a twist, but I was severely disappointed. Also, every single battle, without exception, was won with quickenings.

  • @disturbedking8 Wow bro, I don't think you've heard much voice acting. I loved their voices in XII, the sound was crisp, the accents were fluent, and all the voices matched their appearances perfectly. The script was also superb and exquisitely localized. In a game that was very dialogue heavy, having nice voices to listen to was an Occuria-send, I swear.

  • @disturbedking8 Also, how the hell were you winning against anything after the early game with Quickenings? Quickenings use up all your MP near instantly, and even if you chain enough of them, you're never going to do as much damage late-game as you would with regular weapons or magic (in half the time it takes to watch QNGS over and over).

    Spells like Arise and Scathe were so integral to beating hard enemies; what game were you playing?

  • @Antiformed Everything that happened to you in game happens to everyone else. Your experiences are the design from which all other experiences are made. You are god.

  • @disturbedking8 That was literally so profound that I don't even know what you're saying.

  • @Antiformed It's probably because you're retarded.

  • @disturbedking8 I'm not the one bitching about good games on the internet :) Games mean something to everyone. Obviously you're too smart to appreciate emotions and things like that, but good luck putting "Knows his shit about Japanese RPGS, retard" on your resume!

  • @Antiformed It's probably literally because you're fucking retarded.

  • @disturbedking8 Good thing I have brilliant, helpful people like you to to put us in our place then, huh. Meanwhile, you're miserable and I'm perfectly happy. Wonder how that worked out... :downs:

  • @Antiformed It didn't work out, because you're retarded.

  • @disturbedking8 *pimpslaps* Stfu and enjoy the music.

  • @TheOriginalThought1 go fuck yourself

  • @TheOriginalThought1 Go fuck yourself again

  • @disturbedking8 12 Had some of my favorite characters, probably since 9. Not just the primary adventurers but all the background characters, they propped up the setting so well. And what a setting, man, surreal fantasy caked thick with post-war political tension? Hardly ever used quickenings, either, they were a drag. The less interesting fights ended with those. The gambit system, by late game, was interesting and tactical as shit.

  • @Fratley762 You must have mistaken me for someone who gives a shit

  • @disturbedking8 given the lengthy opinion you offered on the matter, easy mistake to make.

  • @Fratley762 lengthy opinion i made a long time ago, when i gave a fuck

  • @disturbedking8 wrong ix is better

  • I can play this on recorder XP

  • IMO, FFIX had some of the best music of any Final Fantasy game. Say what you will about the story or the game itself, but the music rocked.

  • im the ultimate final fantasy fan

  • The first time I booted up this game, I waited patiently not having very high hopes (I'd never enjoyed FF8 and FF7 until I played this)...

    ...And then this song came on.

    ...And my jaw dropped, and I knew I was in for an amazing adventure, one that still to this day I wish I could forget just so I could do it all again and have it feel new.

    Anyone else agree?

  • @Kryssy128 I know how it feels

  • @Kryssy128

    no one gives nine the props it deserves.....seriously this was one of my favorite games and personally while i loved kingdom hearts it did 9 a total disservice by only having vivi in it forreals.....this had one of the best scores too.....

  • @GrandSekiza speak the truth for the best ff game ix

  • @Kryssy128 It makes me sad that I hear this song and I already know everything that happens in this adventure, I wish I could like, wipe my memories from this game away and play it from zero, without knowing a single thing that awaits in it.

  • @Kryssy128 Haha yeah, my big brother let me play this game because he was too busy to play now that he was in high school. He only had disk one, and he when he got back from school i tried to re-enact how epic the loss to beatrix was. He even went as far as to act interested haha, to this day I've only finished disc one. I don't know why i told you of this fond memory.

  • @Kryssy128 Nope, FF9 is the only one I really just couldn't get into.. probably should give it a replay some time though as it would be practically a brand new experience.

  • @Kryssy128 manly tears...

  • This fucking game, man. Gotta play it again when I have some time. They don't make them like this anymore.

  • @ElMisionero96 so true my favorite character is vivi

  • Comment removed

  • Sadly kids these days are spoiled and don't want to play a slower pace games. I was glad to grow up with snes/n64/ps1 era while growing up.

  • @arcticfox04 Why should slower pace games be the norm.. That was an idiotic statement. And how does spoiled = want fast pace games? You're fucking retarded, regardless of how much I like final fantasy.

  • It's my birthday today turning 14 now

  • best....FF....Theme....Ever...­.Forever....

  • i have the ps1 version and it is amazing first ff game i beat

  • The very moment I started up the game and heard this song, I knew it was going to be an imaginative story that will pull at my heartstrings.

  • @DoctorTalon Exactly how i felt when i was ten years old :)

  • X was just as Linear as XIII is, seriously X might as well have been on rails.

  • I'm grew up with this music...I'm grew up with this game... I love it...

  • i want to play this game but im at a part where i cant grind and there is a boss next door and i cant go back

  • @AwesomeCowface its a good idea to make multiple save files so you always have the option to go back and grind, i learned that the hard way :)

  • final fantasy ix forever

  • Comment removed

  • This one has different versions in oeilvert and some other places if i remember correctly?Been a while since i played the last time :P

  • I don't understand the need of all of this bickering between fans of this series of fantastic games. Am I the only one among you people that has honestly loved something about every Final Fantasy game I've played? These games are all different from eachother and comparing them is, in my opinion, pointless. They all had their flaws, but they also had their strengths.

    This is my opinion. Your welcome to have your own, just don't start shoving them into eachother's faces.

  • That's it. I'm playing this again.

  • @burningfajitasalt After that next video... :D

  • i never made it out of the stone forest right in the beginning after you crash land. as soon as we landed..... i started my long grind fest training right away xD

  • What a nostalgic song. When I played this game I just didn't wanted to load my game to hear this song.

  • @leonardoraele Same... Then the trailer started :)

  • My childhood. :)

  • I hope someday they remake those old games with better graphics for actual consoles like xbox 360 or ps3

  • :O :O :O Just got my ps3 & a flatscreen for birthday/christmas. This games graphics are so beutiful. This was the last great Final Fantasy. 10 & 10-2 were just meh. XI was online so fk that. XII ripped every FF stapel out that i knew/loved. Turn-based combat, summon names, etc. It did EVERYTHING wrong. I hated the story as it was WAY too political/war based, the characters were NEVER interesting. I really hope they get their shit together and 'go back to their roots'.

  • @sephiroth21347 12 was excellent you're just simply to dumb to understand it.

  • @Biddybalboa whats there to understand?? The story was never interesting being entirely based on the war, the characters had no personality, the combat was uninjoyable, the summon system was never useful & was much easier to just do a chain to instakill most bosses so there was never any challenge. I just didn't find it as enjoyable as the classic ones on the playstation

  • @sephiroth21347 I have to agree, the characters in these games have started to lose what makes them characters in the first place. You'll hear fans talk about the characters from classic games all the time, but when does anybody ever mention Vaan or Gabranth?

  • @sephiroth21347

    classic ones..on..t..the play station?...

    Sonny, Classic means NES and SNES..or even Game Boy, not Advanced, Not Color..Game Boy...with Final Fantasy Legend (even though its only named final fantasy, its actually the first in the Sa-Ga series)

    Play some FF5, 6, and 2 and the actual 3 :T THOSE are classics.

  • @RikiRaccoon *Alittle out of order there at the end lol* I have played 1,2,7,8,9,10,10-2,& 12. I wish i could play 3-6 to have the full FF experience but i cant find any copy of them or a good emulator/ROM of them to play. I dont have any handheld systems so any ports I cant play. The 1st FF's I played as a kid were 7-9 so they will always have a place in my heart. Sorry for not being able to choose when i was born so i couldve been around for the 'classics'

  • @Biddybalboa Final Fantasy XII was the biggest pile of uninteresting garbage it has ever been my misfortune to waste hours on. You're simply too dumb to understand the concept of terrible story-telling and shitty gameplay.

  • @PantsheadMD Don't be so obnoxiously opinionated.

  • @Kaledor104 I flew off the handle I'll admit. However, I don't like it when FF XII fanboys overstate the notion that those who don't like XII just don't understand it. Still though, it was hypocritical reaction and that's my bad. I still stand by my "obnoxious" opinions though.

  • @PantsheadMD hey, it had some damn good music though

  • @PantsheadMD The game play was actually fun and not a boring grindfest, and the story wasn't full of gay jpop and 12 year old scantily dressed girls and terribly written dialog. It was the most mature game to come out of japan in a long fucking time.

  • @Biddybalboa Final Fantasy in general is not full of gay jpop or 12 year old scantily dressed girls, maybe scantily dressed women, but not little girls. Seems to me like you have some misplaced aggression for some other Japanese game franchise. Regardless, we're bound to have differing opinions about this. I find the game boring, you don't. I don't like the plot, you do. Obviously we're not going to understand each other. No use arguing about bro.

  • @PantsheadMD Fair enough

  • @sephiroth21347

    FFIX was a back to the root FF so i dont think they'll make another back to the roots

  • Why did Square remake FF10 in HD instead of this gem?! They need to either release an HD collection themselves or allow another company to do so. All of the Playstation Final Fantasys in beautiful HD would be amazing.

  • virtue:You don't always need a reason to help people

  • I remember playing ff9 all night, pausing it when I went to bed, waking up and unpausing to play before school, pausing it again, then unpausing it and playing it again when I got back home from school. Why not just save? Because I couldn't bear to wait for my file to load. Oh 2nd grade (:

  • I was waiting to hear the noise when you press the continue button but it never came. :(

    Think I'm going to play this again.

  • This music is so easy to write essays to. asdfg Final Fantasy win.

  • I don't care if it was just a game, it was my childhood

  • @Snodgers3rdclass Not just a game, a masterpiece :)

  • que buena rola eeee como me encantan estos juegos jejejeje

  • i've been replaying this game since the forever!

  • Oh gosh

    awesome ç.ç

  • i am currently downloading this game on my laptop using ps1 emulator..cant wait..huhu... ^u^

  • I could listen to this on loop forever it :) aah, the nostalgia!

  • I loved that I could just come home from school or from dinner at my friend's house and just sit down and relax with this game.

    Now I have to write an essay on the political significance of the Danish forays into ninth century Francia.

    Times have changed :(

  • @simoncase The good ol' times brother..

  • ok, i'm...i'm...ç_ç

    

  • i honestly think that I - X were the best FF games ever. X-2? Decent in my opinion but not memorable. XI? Meh... XII? Say what you want but i never completed that one cause i got bored. IX was the first FF game i ever played and the first i completed, i simply love it to this day, games like that were the reason that people made consoles, great story, graphics for its time, just wow. XIII was too linear from what i heard so for now ill stick to my opinion: I to X ftw and long live Nobuo Uematsu

  • @KiroZ1992 I don't understand why people always put X with the other good ones, it's very different and can't really be compared to them, it was the one which made the transition from open world exploration to linear as hell (except for X-2)... oh and X-XIV are all horrible pieces of shit. I won't say that X is HORRIBLE but compared to VII and IX? ... LOL it is a piece of shit.

  • @Rokujyuuyonshu i agree seven and nine are the best and the first three are classics eleven onward is terrible and ten well that was boring and unlike a final fantasy game really but still not as bad as the ones that followed

  • @sepheroth696 I like you ^^

  • @KiroZ1992 i understand what u mean, but I've never finished IX because the third disk always crashed...

  • @MrGraverB Get a PS3 and purchase it on the Playstation store. I did :-)

  • @KiroZ1992 What do you mean when you said, "too linear" ? I have played most FFs and XIII is one of the best out of the new ones. But nothing will ever beat FFVII, FFVIII, and FFIX :D

  • @Jendrax2006 He means that Final Fantasy XIII wasn't open-world for most of the game. And he's right.

  • @dstmt2 I think he is. O___O

  • @KiroZ1992 have u played ff 8

  • @KiroZ1992 FFXI is a great game, i explored and made lots of friends put over 300 real life game days in to playing that game. and most put even more then that.

  • @Goku33333 What is a "real life game day"? That combination of words confuses me.

  • I would LOVE to get my hands on FFIX again. I loved this game, probably my favorite FF game EVER!! The FMV graphics were absolutely prime for the day and the music was also very good. Not to mention the epic story line! They just don't make RPG games like this anymore :(

  • A friend of mine is coming to my house later today, and he's letting me borrow his Final Fantasy IX, since mine is broke. So in other words, I'M PLAYING THIS GAME AGAIN TODAY HELL FUCKING YEAH. My FAVORITE Final Fantasy game of ALL Time. Man, i'm going to have a lot of fun playing this game again.

  • best final fantasy game.

  • @dumbapple343 I agree, and I like your name, "Dumbapples" From Crisis Core.

  • @Pharphain - Oh, thank you very much Pharphain, you are too kind. The 343 is from Halo. 343GuiltySpark. (not that many people who play final fantasy would care.) *thoughtful look* hmmmm.

    Thank you for the positive reply. You're cool.

  • @dumbapple343 No problem, i'm a true FF fan, and would recognize any Final Fantasy reference. Lmao.

  • VI-X ... after that ... death of FF.

  • @LoftyProduction What about I-V?

  • @Pharphain 1-V didn't do it for me. I think VI-X mastered the series and then Enix LEECHED on and ... well imagine me stood infront of you with a chart and stick, pointing out the correlation between the the degrading quality of story telling and gameplay since Enix joined.

  • @LoftyProduction Oh don't worry, I know that merging with Enix was the worst mistake Square ever made. Final Fantasy XIII was one of the worst games I ever played. And Kingdom hearts that has Disney characters in it... Really square? But I can respect your opinion that you didn't like I-V. I personally don't like III myself since it's one of the hardest games I ever played before in my life. Lol. But I seem to LOVE I and V, Since those were my first FF games ever. But IX is my favorite of them.

  • @Pharphain Actually, which FF's are we talking about here? lol. III = VI to some people so when I say VI I'm talking about kefka, terra ect lol.

  • @LoftyProduction I'm talking about the original III, with Luneth, Xande, Cloud of Darkness, etc.

  • @Pharphain Yeah, like I say I just couldn't gel with the originals. Chrono Trigger is one you should check out. I hated the art style but I was like "i'll give it a go" ended up loving it.

  • @LoftyProduction Oh yeah, I love both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross. Great games.

  • I ADORE THIS MUSIC, no matter how many years pass since the first time I listen to it, it will follow me forever.

  • How do you prove that you exist...?

    maybe we don't exist.

  • This song reminds me of the picture of Freya with the saying:

    Dispair

    To be forgotten is worse than death....

    I love Freya, so it makes me feel sad for her.

  • Of all the video game consoles, the first playstation is the one wich had the best games in my opinion. Final fantasy 7 and 9, metal gear solid and castlevania symphony of the night. Those 2 final fantasys are also pretty much the only games wich almost made me cry except for metal gear solid 4.

  • Every single piece of music of this game totally makes my day!

  • Once upon a time... ...there was a man. There was a man who didn't

    know where he came from...

    This man had longed to find his birthplace ever since he was a

    small child.

    His birthplace. A place he only remembered in his dreams...

    He wanted to know more about himself, maybe. About his parents,

    the house where he was born... One day, the man left the home of his

    adoptive father and went on a quest to find the answer. His only clue

    was the blue light he saw in his dreams...

  • I just got an emulation of this for my computer I hope it works. When I used to play it on the PSX I never got past the sword fight between Blank & Zidane because it was so much fun to do.

  • start new game? *click*

  • Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy VIII and Final Fantasy IX

  • SuperShadow113 well spoken

  • Like this if you want to start a New Game! :D

  • @Asparagus428 how about like this if u could totaly forget u have ever played this game and reply it like its your first time :)

  • @VictorVonFox well.. i do not forget the story of the game.. its always in my head! but everytime i feel like starting this game again.. it feels like its my first time :D

  • This is a game where starting a New Game is a fun and enjoyable way to do.

  • I'm glad to know i wasn't the only one enthralled by this song. Absolutely amazing. I would just sit and let it play.

  • Finished the game at the age of 13 for the first time, was emotionally shaken. Ten years later, haha, no change. This game doesn't fail to enthrall you with its epic story and great characters.

  • You don't need a reason to help someone.

  • This song made me cry so fucking hard while i was remembering myself playing FFIX. Definitely the best FF ever created, and unfortunately one of the most underrated.

  • Thumbs this comment up if you think FF13 is a linear JPOP eyecandy undeserving of the Final Fantasy name

  • Square Enix... What have you done to us? FF7, FF9 and FF10. They were our childhood, it brought us up! Now look at you; releasing crap with no references to the earlier amazing journeys. These three games was the last true and epic games you ever created.

    RIP 'Epic' Final Fantasy Games. 

  • @yrseel FF8 was pretty good too :)

  • Jesus, how can you forget Freya's caption? "To be forgotten is worse than death." What a horrible sentiment to even have to consider. And the picture is of her lying on the ground in the rain. I think Freya is one of the most underappreciated Final Fantasy heroines. Why? It's because she isn't hot and doesn't have giant tits.

  • @AuspexAO also that she's a giant rat, but your point is still valid. She's still awesome and honestly kicks major ass when given the chance.

  • @AuspexAO Freya was a fucking boss. I don't think it's possible to have big tits in FF9 though anyways... xD Well Beatrix... but not many.

  • @AuspexAO

    Freya is one of my favorite Final Fantasy characters if not my favorite. I always been a fan of species other than humans as party members in Final Fantasy, she is a Dragon Knight which is just awesome and...she has the most sad story of all Final Fantasy characters.

    "To be forgotten is worse than death"

    Amen Freya.

  • 4 people have no place to return to

  • This is one of my fave FF games, probably only second to IV imo. And this soundtrack literally has no bad tracks, every song fits.

    No wonder Uematsu said it is his best and favorite work.

  • You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar for uploading this fine arrangement of awesomeness.

    best.game.ever.

  • Gaia it's the place I'll return someday

  • Always feels good to read the comments on these videos. Whenever i finish this game and listen to this music, I just want to start it over again.

  • Reminisce the happy times in your life with this song.
