@nevadakid1000 I'm totally with you there. Probably one of the most difficult ones to play. I can only play half of it. Not all of the parts I can play go together though. Song is awesome though.
@FirestormSurtr Of course, everyone is entitled to their opinions but still...are you serious!? Dancing Mad is the best final boss theme ever. It is the perfect character study of the villain it represents!
@Haynelia101 Exactly! Most people only got into FF after 7 hit and think it's the be all end all... sorry. VI is the Big daddy!!! Kefka would destroy Sephiroth anyway.
@EddyVitkauskasXband I'd say you're wrong. 9 is the best. It has great music, great characters (Kuja was a cool villain, people just can't get over his outfit cause they're homophobes or something), had better pacing than 6 (I love 6 btw, and I started with 4 when it came out) and had just as awesome a battle system.
6 was, though, indeed very awesome. Better than 7? No. Is 7 better than 6? No. Are they both equally AWESOME? yes!! Awesome in their own ways.
@Vicioussama I too loved 9 til around the end. It just lost something. I can't explain it. 6 had way more characters that I seemed to take more seriously though, plus each character had their own theme (awesome!) and lets not forget the opera... When it comes to really connecting to the trials the party had to overcome, I gotta give it to 4 though... That game was hard. The added cg scenes in the ps release of anthology were so EPIC and they were only like a minute or so. Imagine a 6 movie...
@EddyVitkauskasXband FF4, FF6, FF7, and FF9 I'd say are the masterpieces of the series. I've honestly enjoyed elements or the entirety of the game from each other entry too, but those 4 specifically are the top notch to me.
Though, FF5 might be up there, I need to play it again (been so long and never actually played it fully through lol). The systems were awesome.
FF9 at the end I only never finished cause, like all games, I get distracted :P I wanna do this and that and don't want it to end.
@Vicioussama Agreed. 4, 6, 7, & 9, are the best. Not necessarily in that order though. ; ) I can relate to wanting to do this and that putting off the end of the game because you don't want it to end. 9... I recall the search for the spots on the world map that you were given a small picture referrence of... There was a pic of just water!!! but I found it. Also recall jumping rope with Vivi 100 times but the damn rhythm changed @ 101 and it pissed me off so much I never did it again.
@EddyVitkauskasXband@Vicioussama I thinkt he jump rope thing was stupid as hell personally, I mean, not bad really, but unnecessary. But ya, 9 is still my favorite over all (amusingly enough, found out it was Sakaguchi's and Uematsu's as well)
@MrPrinnybomb 5 really had great systems, but I do need to play through it again because the rest wasn't too memorable for me. Maybe just because it wasn't the first and it was a damn long time ago since I played it.
FF VI is still the best of all series of course the others have merits but after SNES had died and square changed plataform i think the series had steped down a bit... the stories are not THAT interesting anymore and beside the graphics had improved a lot, they are losing track of the origins going too further in the future
In all honesty, I was born after 1990, and I gotta say. VII and VI are of equal merit. They both have great music, a great story, and above all else, great characters. But VII doesn't have Kefka Palazzo in it. Just a slowed down verison of his laugh (examine the pumpkin in the Ghost Hotel store at Gold Saucer)
FF VI, the BEST FF of all times. I played all of them in order, I am 30 now. And I can tell you that we tend to think the best FF is that on that we play first. But I did not play the FF6 first, I played them in order, and I can tell you, FF6 is a masterpiece, and FF7 is the fan-club of those born after 1990.
FFVI - the best Final Fantasy that's not VII or VIII. I'm playing through FFXII now (finally) and while I'm really starting to dig Hitoshi Sakimoto... he is no Nobuo.
And yet, despite this, no word of a remake for it. I get the commotion for a FF7 remake, especially with Square releasing such an epic PS3 teaser, but...fans'll still hold out. At least work your way up, Square, do FF5, then 6, etc.!
Nice choices with the lighting effects. It evokes the "mad" part of the song title quite nicely. Makes you wonder if (on the mental level) this isn't what it's like for Kefka all the time.
Come on, no more messing about with VII spin-offs and remakes, all of which have sold poorly and recieved commonly negative reviews. Square Enix need to pull their few remaining good heads together and kick out some full-3D HQ remakes of our favourite NES and SNES games!
No, what they need is some good main series games. That is, FFXIII, FFXIV and FFXV. Enough spinoffs, enough lousy sequels, enough remakes, enough random stuff. Go back to your roots, Square Enix. You used to make turn-based RPGs.
Personally, remakes don't do a whole lot for me. The only remake I really needed was FFIII, and that's because I don't speak Japanese. Flashy graphics aren't important, and extra dungeons are usually pretty lousy.
Then again, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I.
@DemonicGhostwithin which newer ones? only XII and XIII might really come to that, and more XIII than XII. XIII wasn't too bad. But I agree that it should head back to the FF1-6 or 9 style, hell even 7 wasn't so bad. Still had the fantasy feeling with sci-fi (as did 8, but 8 was poor in story, characters, and gameplay imo). X wasn't too bad, but they do need to get Sakaguchi and Nobou back for FF
@Terradreamer Crisis Core, iirc, sold well and got positive reviews :P it's Dirge of Cerberus that recieved poor positive reviews, but still sold well.
Advent Children wasn't a game, people praise it even though movie-wise it's terrible (poor plot progression, character development, etc) but it's still sold well.
Not sure what hasn't sold well with FF7 in the title lol.
@Terradreamer YEAH!!! FF7 would be easier to remake than the other games before it. They shouldn't bother with that one. they should remake any between 1-6 on the PS3. That would be AMAZING to see kefka in blu ray lol
@DayneV11 I ask you... Do you truly want to see Kefka in full 3D HD, burning Figaro Castle barely an hour in. Poisoning the water supply that leads to a crippling epidemic illness and genocide of a warring country. Burning countrysides to his sick pleasure using a mind controlled Terra. Becoming a complete god and initial source of all magical existance. Destroying the entire world and reshaping it to his own image, causing countless million deaths...
@Testsubject909 VI is so good it doesn't need to be remade.. But if it were FUCK THE FUCKING HANDHELDS AND PUT IT ON A BIGASS MOTHERFUCKING... Sorry.. Fuck the 3ds and go right for the PS3
@MalignantNarcizzizm you are right, remakes needs a complete overhaul, just to match the expectations. you saw what happened to Golden sun DS, a complete shit.
@Terradreamer They made a full 3D remake of Romancing Saga 2 on the PS2, dubbing it Romancing Saga (original, I know).
It's an incredible feat, as the quality of the image boosts itself up to a mindblowing proportion. It'd be the equivalent of making an HD remake of a Playstation 1 game.
So yes, if Squeenix can make a 3D remake of a game series of lesser reknown of Final Fantasy, you know that they're just being lazy not remaking a proper 3D remake of older games, as fans keep asking.
@Terradreamer I think NES and SNES games doesn't need to be remade 'cause it's already perfect the way it is and doesn't need any changes though it lacks graphical contents.
@Cidk10 The only upside is the music one be more crisp and that would be awsome but I agree I don't care about graphics its a great story that matters and FFVI an IV had the best in the series.
@Cidk10 Just my opinion on this comment, Graphics are nothing, if a game has the gameplay/storyline and playability, then it wouldn't matter if it had the worst graphics in the world. Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda and Megaman on the retro consoles are prime examples, not very good graphic wise, but you can play them for hours because they are so much fun! :)
@Cidk10 I believe that Terra was attempting to say that Squenix should take the best FF titles (V, VI, and IX, in my opinion. Idk why people always overlook IX...) and make them for modern consoles with better graphics etc., but leave everything else alone. It would simply be FFVI with PS3 quality graphics. Imagine a 3D rendering of the world being torn apart by the unbalanced Warring Triad...
@CLStarling If only I knew -who- I had to kill in order to get it done... There's actually a lot of games I would like to see remade with better graphics. There has to be a way to make it happen. If Squenix knew that enough people would buy it, they wouldn't hesitate to remake the old FF games. I must ruminate on this...
To be honest Crisis Core was amazing and im glad for that game, as well As Advent Children movie, and yes FF IV-IX, all could have amazing revamps, as I dont want Remakes, :)
@Terradreamer I would give my left nut for a high quality 3d remake of FFVI. Ok actually I wouldn't, but I'd have no problem parting with some hard earned cash for such a product.
i love this song...first i thought it was boring but now i think its a masterpice like everything from Nobuo...the solo is soooo...uuhh..i love it ...im tryinig to play it on my guitar..
Because they're comparing how badass this song is compared to those GAMES themselves. It just goes to show you how 1 FF6 song can trump 3 other FF GAMES. :)
Unfortunately, true as that is, FF6 doesn't give a lot of FMV footage to work with. FF6 DS better fix that....don't look like that, you know it's coming someday. :)
Nobuo Uematsu is by biggest influence as a composer. I hope to be as amazing as he is one day. I would truly appreciate everyone looking at my achievements so far.
" Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life knowing that they must someday die? Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?" —Kefka, on the futility of existence
They could have just not had the video clips, and we could have watched Nobuo pull of those amazing scales towards the end-- which was the whole reason I watched this video. Too bad I was denied that privilege.
I dislike the game cinemas that are being shown during this performance. Why are all the other games in there? This song is all about Kefka, his madness, and the epic battle to defeat him. The images from the other games aren't relevant and take away from the power of the song in my opinion.
i've sadly not had the fortune of playing FFVI, i was gonna get it a few years but regrettably i chose not to, my first exposure to it was this Dancing Mad then I found out about Kef throw Dissidia and watched vids of him on youtube and sadly theres only a few seconds worth of FMVs in the game so thats probably opted to show others to maybe "entertain" people who don't "get" DM since its pretty long but they do show a good bit of Kef
I don't like the organ in the Black Mages version of Dancing Mad. It's too fake-sounding and doesn't do the song's fantastic organ composition justice in my opinion.
Although I doubt that Nobuo could bring a real church organ to a BM performance, so it's understandable why he has to make do with an electric organ.
I think it's less of trying to imitate an actual organ, and more of being faithful to the original composition (MIDI). And playing an organ is different than a keyboard. The recording of this song also uses the electronic organ rather than an actual organ.
Now that I think about it, a real organ probably wouldn't fit in with synthesizers and electric guitars.
And bringing a church organ to a live performance would be somewhat difficult; the Black Mages would have to find a place that has a church organ and perform there, and those types of places don't seem like their typical venues.
Look how concentrated Uematsu is. Usually he's hopping around. I guess he could, but of course he wants it to be perfect. This shows "Dancing Mad" is more complicated than it sounds. Hard timing and rhythm indeed. It's like "Toccata et Fugue" of Final Fantasy. ^^
And thus millions of people died of siezures...when asked if it was worth it, they replied:
''Nobuo I will NEVER hatehatehatehatehatehate HATE you!!!!!''

@MasterHypnose as far as Uematsu is concerned. I have respect for him. when the original creator of FF left, he left due to loyalty to him.

To be honest Crisis Core was amazing and im glad for that game, as well As Advent Children movie, and yes FF IV-IX, all could have amazing revamps, as I dont want Remakes, :)

@Terradreamer I would give my left nut for a high quality 3d remake of FFVI. Ok actually I wouldn't, but I'd have no problem parting with some hard earned cash for such a product.

I REALLY think they should make a live action movie from FFVI, split in 3 or 4 parts like they did with Lord of the Rings...

I'd rather have a remake. A worthy one, that is.

The first part of the song sounds like it'd fit right in with castlevania... just my opinion.

What's up with the FMVs for FFVII, FFIX, and FFX? :/ This is an FFVI song.

Because they're comparing how badass this song is compared to those GAMES themselves. It just goes to show you how 1 FF6 song can trump 3 other FF GAMES. :)
MelficeofBattledawn 2 years ago 4
Unfortunately, true as that is, FF6 doesn't give a lot of FMV footage to work with. FF6 DS better fix that....don't look like that, you know it's coming someday. :)

Nobuo Uematsu is by biggest influence as a composer. I hope to be as amazing as he is one day. I would truly appreciate everyone looking at my achievements so far.
Thank you all!

the best FF song ever!
Kefka is the most awesome villain in FF series!
" Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life knowing that they must someday die? Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?" —Kefka, on the futility of existence
Pure philosophy! Like this awesome track!

I think the video clips would've worked better if they hey kept it to final battle scenes.
You gotta love those dissonant chords right before the end. I also love how it ends on a flub! It's okay, Nobuo's awesome!

They could have just not had the video clips, and we could have watched Nobuo pull of those amazing scales towards the end-- which was the whole reason I watched this video. Too bad I was denied that privilege.
dmoogle2006 2 years ago 2
I dislike the game cinemas that are being shown during this performance. Why are all the other games in there? This song is all about Kefka, his madness, and the epic battle to defeat him. The images from the other games aren't relevant and take away from the power of the song in my opinion.
somehugenerd 3 years ago
i've sadly not had the fortune of playing FFVI, i was gonna get it a few years but regrettably i chose not to, my first exposure to it was this Dancing Mad then I found out about Kef throw Dissidia and watched vids of him on youtube and sadly theres only a few seconds worth of FMVs in the game so thats probably opted to show others to maybe "entertain" people who don't "get" DM since its pretty long but they do show a good bit of Kef
CardCaptorDeadpool 3 years ago
I don't like the organ in the Black Mages version of Dancing Mad. It's too fake-sounding and doesn't do the song's fantastic organ composition justice in my opinion.
Although I doubt that Nobuo could bring a real church organ to a BM performance, so it's understandable why he has to make do with an electric organ.
NGTheAmateurAnimator 3 years ago
I think it's less of trying to imitate an actual organ, and more of being faithful to the original composition (MIDI). And playing an organ is different than a keyboard. The recording of this song also uses the electronic organ rather than an actual organ.
spearsboy01 3 years ago 2
Now that I think about it, a real organ probably wouldn't fit in with synthesizers and electric guitars.
And bringing a church organ to a live performance would be somewhat difficult; the Black Mages would have to find a place that has a church organ and perform there, and those types of places don't seem like their typical venues.
NGTheAmateurAnimator 3 years ago
Look how concentrated Uematsu is. Usually he's hopping around. I guess he could, but of course he wants it to be perfect. This shows "Dancing Mad" is more complicated than it sounds. Hard timing and rhythm indeed. It's like "Toccata et Fugue" of Final Fantasy. ^^
TigerYoshiki 3 years ago 2
If you've watched the whole thing, you'd see that he IS hopping around for most of it. lol

4:26 and somewhat after that, Uematsu did that entire solo one-handed?! Great at making the music and playing it, a master among VG musicians.

no, i thought the other keyboardist was playing the left hand, thats why it super imposes the other guy over the top of Uematsu during a part of it
