The only thing i didnt like about this game was that it was beneficial to just run from every battle and not level up til you had access to islands of heaven and hell, meaning with lionheart on disk one and refining the best magics, you'd end up one shotting most bosses throughout the game :p. One of the reason's i find 9 so addicting is the levelling up and customisation. If i could mix these together I'd have my perfect game
Dear Angry, 24-year-old-who-never-grew-up, Unemployed, Canadian WoWtard,
Please clean the sand out of your vag & stop trolling the Youtube comments section with petty insults that you lack the education (or mental capacity) to spell out. My comment was facetious in nature and was not meant to be taken seriously.
@eyelikeTBC My comments weren't even directed at you, but rather the morons who disliked Uematsu's music by thumbs-downing this video (assuming you were not a member of said morons).
What does it matter if someone's playstyle is to spam Eden and boost to 250 for consistent damage as opposed to popping Aura and hoping for Lionheart? It's a matter of preference. You better believe I used the hell out of Aura on the final boss! Anyway, cut it out with the hate, you're making us FF fans look bad.
wow i miss this game!!!! i should say, this was the hardest place i've ever been to.
getting inside with only the attack abilty on, and some strong monsters and bosses, really killed me. i went to this castle with squall on level 80, rinoa on 60, and sephie on 58 (i think)
listening to music like this really bring back the good memories of FF8.. ^_^
if someone could tell what instruments are used in this piece....that would be awesome.
i know there are some church organs, a harpsichord or cembalo and maybe an oboe but i'm not shure. if someone could tell me the instruments used here i'd be very thankful
@Xlt92bassist The sound at the beginning is not flute friend ^^; though it sounds flutish, its actually the pipe organ playing out of its higher stops, probably flute stops.
Pipe organ is an amazing instrument, capable of emulating the sounds of many of the orchestral instruments... its kinda like an ancient synthesizer :3
@DarkZekeX i didnt say at the beginning, there are parts where there is a flue. i know and love the sounds of pipe organs, and i know they can emulate many sounds of a flut
my favorite game of all time with one of the best soundtrack's ever, but the one from ff9 is a lot better in my oppinion....better that this game just half-life 2
This soundtrack definitely rivals, in my opinion, the Prelude as Nobuo Uematsu's best composition ever. The Prelude is the most well-known, but this one is just pure epic.
i actually love this song.. nobuo uematsu is a true genius when it comes to gaming music.. he captures the essence of how the gamer wants to be feeling at this part of the game.. then adds the "this is gonna be hard" feeling to the song, also the "yeah.. this is blatently the last area of the game" feel.. truly genius 5/5
probally timat.. he is right near the bell tower (gah i sound like such a nerd!.. squaresoft/enix like to put wings on stuff really :/ not like it is a bad thing or anuything.. its just a gentle observation.. i hated going onto 4th disc in the game.. i loved the castle but the time compression was a bitch, not being able to go into any towns.. pah! :)
Final Fantasy VIII is the peak of final fantasy games in my opinion. Final Fantasy VIII is definitely number one on my list. I've beaten it 11 times so far and am starting a new game. Screw cloud and sephiroth, Squall and Seifer kicks both their asses.
Tocatta and Fugue! Amazing! I never really noticed that this was that song until I heard Vanessa Mae play it (even though it's by Bach, lol), then I was like "I know this!"
No.. it is not Tocatta and Fugue.. it sounds like it because it has the same tempo and organs.. But it's not Tocatta.. This song is called "The Castle" and it is the 6st track on the 4th CD of the FFVIII OST by Nobuo Uematsu. :D
Here's an interesting question. How does Ultimecia deal with all those monsters running around, breeding, and crapping all over the damn place? I mean geez Louise.
beautifull game, played it many many times, thinking of starting another new game some time soon. The newest RPG games aren't even coming near FF VII-VIII (FFX got a good shot though). Same with Morrowind vs. Oblivion
Remember the puzzles and the weird creatures you had to face in the castle? Oh man, those were the good old days. I too have forgotten the enchanting music of FF8, because I haven't played it in so long. I should play through it again...for fun and to see if I can obtian alot of the stuff I missed the first time (and see if I can finish more side quest). Thanks for posting, it's great. Please do more...
