  • i cant describe the feelings i got from this track

  • The game that changed my perception of what a video game could be, and the theme that set me on that journey...nostalgia like nothing else

  • If this song doesn't bring tears to my eyes when I hear it, it always comes damn close.

    Greatest game I've ever played, bar none.

  • time flows so fast, its now ca. 14 years ago, ive played it for first time :/

  • Amazingly amazing

  • Takes me back to those little polygons and midi music. Easily the best in its class, if not all time.

  • @ponestar69

    Without a doubt.

  • ouch

    nostalgia just hit me hard

  • best prelude version of final fantasy ever made!!!!

  • this song shall forever touch my heart, as soon as the violin type things come into it i remember my childhood and shed a tear, final fantasy made the person i am today and there is one guy i have to thank for this amazing music and that's Nobuo Uematsu. i love Final Fantasy and i am proud to be a nerd!

  • Chuck Norris can't resist shedding a tear to this song.

  • This song touches me heart... everytime

  • BEST GAME EVER!

    

  • @domyne totally

  • I'm 17 years old now and I was 3 when this game came out. I used to watch my older brother play it for hours on end and I loved it. Every time I would try and start a game on my own I could never get past the Scorpion boss in the beginning :P This game had a big impact on me, it was apart of my childhood and always will be. So now, when I take out FF7 and play it on my Ps3, I don't care about the graphics. I play and it touches my heart, I can gladly say I beat it about 3 times now! FF7 Forever!

  • @dare106 i feel the same way, we should play on ps3 together sometime whats your ID ?

  • Easily my favorite game ever. FF7 forever :) Such a beautiful game, well it's more than a game to me but that's not the point

  • @Zer0SkiLL789 Hey im not gonna say your wrong, but all who love this game, really should play Xenogears... just a friendly advice, i wouldnt want a fellow adventurer as yourself miss out on a great journey!

  • You want to know how to create a temporary means of time travel? Put your headphones on, make sure everything else around you is quiet and peaceful and listen to this song while just closing your eyes and lying back. You will be take back to a time where things were much simpler and a story touched our hearts.

  • 60% of the time this song brings a tear to my eye every time.

  • it is good til 2:52

  • I use this as my alarm ringer. I never wake up tired or pooped. A testament to how great a melody this is.

  • My neighbor is playing this on piano. I got instant chills when i heard this randomly playing at my head and took quite a while to realize where it was coming from. Never knew my neighbors were Final Fantasy fans

  • It's now January 31st, 2012...15 years to the day since this game was released. Thumbs up if you still love it as much now as you did then.

  • @Ashitaka1110

    No, I don't love it as much as I did then. I love it even more.

  • "Yes I beat Sephiroth!!"

    "Watches ending"

    *infinite consolation of stars go by*

    *waits*

    "When is it going to stop...?"

    *waits longer*

    "....."

    *resets*

  • I hate how people say Final fantsay 7 sucks because of the Graphics I mean I played this and I actually luv the graphics but the purpose of playing the game is for its storyline like seriously what the hel People need to realize that. T-T

  • I can't help but cry everytime I hear it

  • "Why isnt it working??"

    "WTF?"

    "Gahhhh!" Button Mashes*

    "Oh, circle is the 'okay' button heh"

    "let's play this!"

    The rest is our history

  • @Ekinsbs I remember those days it showed us nerds who was new to the rpg world, cuz almost every rpg on psx used circle, where as metal gear and action used x, cuz well, its american i guess ......

  • @Ekinsbs I always changed mine to X lol

  • @Ekinsbs Damn dude, that made me tear up a bit. Best game I've ever played for sure.

  • .....ohh wait, my controller is not plugged in.

  • when I listen to this I often picture most of the characters of every final fantasy game drawn by Yoshitaka Amano not by the current character designer...I mean come on Yoshitaka's drawings and designs is what made Final Fantasy Final Fantasy, it's the way his style complements with the music

  • Comment removed

  • 8 peoples are playing MW3 right now...

  • This has to be my favorite prelude, mostly because of 2:22 - 2:33. That is a perfect example of how 10 seconds of music can make a song so much better.

  • I pray they make a remake of this game, but if they touch the music...  i will be quite disapointed.

  • Call of Duty (and every FPS game ever released) franchise: "Hurr, we don't need music!"

  • My god doesn't hearing that take you back. Just lets you re-experience it all for one brief moment.

  • @Skyshattered Yeah it does, real game music right here *cries a little*

  • people this is the most selling Final Fantasy game ;)

  • I always watch/hear the intro until the end when I start FF7 :D

  • Congratulations Uematsu

    you make me listen to this song till the end without having the courage to take

  • you should play it again on pc modded a much better experience to play

  • why does everybody that comments on these videos always say that people that like cod hate ff? i love both games...

  • @CoDSquall i mean just look at my username lol

  • @CoDSquall Because that's the vibe given off by people who play shooters. That's just how thing go.

  • this sounds like the final fantasy type 0 prelude O_O

  • When I see Cloud Strife holding his sword up, he reminds me of Maka from Soul Eater by the resemblance.

    Sooo cool.

  • Final Fantasy 7 reminds me of Soul Eater sooo much.

  • 8 call of duty fans >:(

  • hehehe .. i like it its cute .. ^_^ ...

    *^_^*

    

  • fuck ive played ffvii countless hours i finished the game so many times and after a while i come back to this game.i can tell for sure it has marked my soul this game this...this...masterpiece.i have the urge now to start playing ffvii all way from the start(and i beated it a weak ago)if they ask me''who r the 2 top games right now in all gaming history?''id say without thinking ''ffvii and mgs''

  • Final Fantasy is one of those games. Its hard to describe. Its like kingdom hearts. Just hard to describe.

    

  • I use to think the graphics to these old games where so amazing when I was a kid!

  • @MidnightWolfRain you will say the same in 10 years... when the games we are playing now will look like crap... xD

  • @seaniner1212 This is so true. :)

  • I wish i could've been born at a time where i could experienc all the major games like FFVII and FFVIII and Ocarina of Time and Metroid and shit without the quality of the game ruining it for me. I mean i know they were fucking top of the line when they game out, as with any game made in any time period, but playing them now after having experienced, say, FFX or Kingdom Hearts or TES V just ruins it for me because while i know they're fucking awesome the quality is too shitty for me to enjoy

  • @bkzunltd000 How old are you? I'm seriously curious. Graphics are not everything. Use your imagination. Start off with FFI and just play these awesome games for the STORY. Let your mind tell the story for you. Oh, and Kingdom Hearts was ok, but it is not great in a line of very seasoned RPG's. Try getting a emulator for Super Nintendo and trying a game like ChronoTrigger. Happy Role Playing.

  • @fsmith9106

    i'm 19. At no point did i say that i HAVEN'T played older games, i was just commenting on the fact that i can never TRULY enjoy them as much as someone who was alive during the timeperiod where those games were the current new-releases. I mean its kinda hard to enjoy a game like FFVII where there is no voice acting and the world outside of the fighting screen is basically 2-D.

  • @bkzunltd000 Play Chrono Trigger. Just do it.

  • @bkzunltd000 thats the good about ffvii.the fact u cant hear their voices and u have to use ur own imagination for that.and if u want graphics.....id sugest u to play a moded version of ffvii with better graphics(seems like ps2 game)

  • this song is my childhood

  • ill be play this game til i die.

  • 7 people are Chrono Trigger fans

  • i can tell you my top 3 video games of all time EASY

    1.sonic adventure 2 for the dreamcast

    2. FF7 for the ps1

    3. Megaman x-5 for ps1

    bloody roar 1 for the ps1 is my favorite fighting game.

    they don't make em like they used to back in the old skool )=

  • @blitzvomitew16 mines

    1) skyrim and ocarina of time

    2) final fantasy vii

    3) starcraft 2 :P

  • @IlKAYEMlI

    nice list =)

  • @IlKAYEMlI lol skyrim is not better than 7 or ocarina. its really good but come on dude. skyrim isnt even better than skyward sword or uncharted 3. plus the ps3 version is horrible.

  • @IlKAYEMlI Skyrim best game of all time?

    wow.....I love Skyrim but just no.

  • @OcelotDAD

    i mean skyrim and FFVII are awesome for different reasons

    don't compare cars to monster trucks, dick

  • Comment removed

  • i founded this game in my grandfathers basement back in 1999.

    beat it in 2001.

    re-beat it in 2011 on the PSP =)

  • I want this song played at my funeral.

  • @ThinkingWithPortal2 I want Aerith's theme, but we basically feel the same thing :')

  • @ThinkingWithPortal2 i want the boss battle theme played at my funeral :D

  • @ThinkingWithPortal2 From ashes to dust. 

  • @ThinkingWithPortal2 yeah good idea

  • @ThinkingWithPortal2 Damn right! Mind if I steal this idea?

  • @miketheman321 :D Anything for a fellow fan, brother.

  • how can i get a cheap copy of this game? my copy is useless

  • @soverensix Lol, good luck. The game is shit expensive. 

  • This was the music for the installation of FF7 pc. No better statement of quality could have been possible.

  • Final Fantasy IV Prelude is better... Indeed, it's the best FF prelude of all

  • Comment removed

  • i want a remake of ffvii exclusively for ps3..u hear that suqare enix?...u hear that yoshinori kitase?no? time for me to visit ur twitters and bash u for not making a remake of the best rpg that has ever been created...sakaguchi......wtf u do in microsoft? go back in squareenix(square enix)and start making the remake of ffvii now..NOW!! nobuo uematsu....stop wasting ur time on that ffiv mmo and listen to ur fans man...stop trying to get our money but try again to..''steal''our hearts once again

  • twin peaks

  • I still remember all the FFVII tracks as if i listened to them all yesterday

  • Final Fantasy VII is much more than just a game...

  • @TheGoofyLoofy oh yeah my friend... its been with me since i was a kid and play it through occasionally and everytime you find out something new story wise=)

    whats interesting though atleast for me is that i can relate ff7's story to our world.. lifestream - oil? what is lifestream? everything that have been alive . what is oil? same... the recent chain of nature disasters - weapons? might it be just another way for our planet to defend itself.. and so on =) 

  • Thumbs up if you watched the infinite ending scene for a long time reminiscing about your memories of this game after beating safer sephiroth in an epic and unique sense. :P This game truly stands the test of time and remains to this day one of the best options for gamers.

  • they dont make games like that anymore......

  • Final Fantasy Games will never be the same now

  • awesome soundtrack!!!^__^ FFVII is amazing!!

  • I don't care what people say, video games are like good movies or good books...they can make you cry just as much as them. Great music, great story, and, of course, the whole thing is a giant piece of art.

  • @Pr0udDragon I think games can make you cry even more then movies and books.

    When you play a good game, you , as a player, are more part of the story then anything. Certain moments and theme's can hit you way harder then a movie does, i believe.

  • @Pr0udDragon theres only 1 fatal problem with books. they dont have music like this

  • Okay, for THOSE people who think that you CAN NOT cry from video games like Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy etc. Then take 4 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME and listen to the themes of the games etc. THEN the music can determine whether the game is to cry for or not.

  • One of the best preludes to one of the best games of XX century!

    I am currently making my own soundtracks to FFXV and I made The Prelude for it as well.

    If you're interested, you can check my channel. ))

  • I love this game so much and I played it for the first time not as a little kid a few years ago. It was amazing all my childhood ideas and my imagination really being put out in front of my eyes and It was almost a spiritual journey into my youth. Now I've beaten the game so many times and that feeling isn't as strong. So I'm gonna not play it again for a few years. And then I'll revisit my past again. And it will mean a lot to me again. this song.... indescribable. I wonder what nobuo thought.

  • @ZentetsukenVII

    Agreed brother. I played this when it first came out and became enveloped in it. Then I lent it to a friend and never got it back. I watched HCBaily do a Let's Play of it a couple years ago and downloaded it to my comp, played it again for the first time in over 10 years and loved it all the same. It's one of those games that will stick with me for the rest of my life.

  • @Maverick6429 when I hear that people didnt really play this game or didn't like it that much it just kills me. Its just an amazing game, thats more than a game. I suppose you have to have played it in your youth for it to really mean what it does to me.

  • I like the ffx prelude better.

  • A song so beautiful, it can make you cry? And it's from a video game? Yes.

  • sounds like FFX prelude

  • @summertime361 sounds like every prelude

  • Hearing the original and it being played on piano or any other instrument is sooo different, you get a warmer feeling of nostalgia from the original.

  • i used to fall asleep to this music dreaming about the game lol

  • Me.. Friends..Childhood..90's..My experience..My thoughts..My emotions..My adventure..My life..Still remains in Final Fantasy 7. Especially this song.

    I always think that in my head when i listen this XD Would be a intro for my lifedocumet, what would be ff7 movie.. :D

  • @Gracking666

    Sucks that I didn't get to experience the game as a kid :'( I'm trying to play through it right now... :\ Little by little... One day I really need to sit down and play some FF7 :) And then watch FF7:ACC right after >:D

  • @AngelixArch Actually i didnt experience the game at 90's.. I only watched when my brother played and watched when he and his friends and some of my too played it throught.. I finished it by myself this year.. And now playing it with two friends :D

  • @Gracking666 Really well said. I would completely agree with you. Something about this piece of music is so emotive. You can close your eyes and your back being younger when things were simpler and easier. Amazing music, amazing game and part of who we are.

  • @SilentSte

    Amen.

  • @SilentSte Very well said, the same goes for thousands of other people. That is one of the reasons why FF7 is the greatest game of all time. It not only immersed us so much into it that we actually shed a tear when aeris died, or like @Gracking666 said have dreams about it.

  • Listening to this makes me want to bust out my PS3 (I'd use the PS1 but is old and kinda broken T_T) and FF7 disc 1 to play it again WHILE EATING AN FF13 DISC SANDWICH

  • Ah the power of music. This is so amazingly beautiful i cant describe it. Perfect music for a perfect game.

  • When I first played this game, I was so awe stricken and moved by this tune that I couldn't start the game for quite a while. It set the perfect tone, of sadness, hope and inspiration, all true to the epic tale of Final Fantasy VII.

  • my favourite song from this game. thanks for posting :)

    game brings back memories.. what a great game.. i still have it. i wish they would make a remake of this game. same everything.. just updated graphics. i would buy it, if they changed nothing in the story or characters. everything exactly the same, just new modern graphics for ps3 and xbox 360

  • Final fantasy 7 is only of the greatest games of all time and will always be the greatest of the story, music, characters, and spin-offs. I will keep this till the very end.

  • Ah, this music always brings back memories...

  • When you finish the game, you get in a space view with this music playing, F'N NIHILISTIC EPIC JOURNEY! Thinking we all are from matter from space/stars & returning to it.

  • This music makes me cry...

  • @ThePiggyman How about you do the world a favor and fuck off you petty troll!

  • @BossCityBaller Fail troll. Trololulz.

  • I seen something for FF7 REMAKE release date

    its on my channel

  • Lol the first time I encountered the scorpion, I panicked and just used normal attacks to death D:

  • Comment removed

  • I will remember this song till i die ! ..... This game is just fantastic .... Not compareable with this new shit...

  • @Gunslinger931 I'm not listening to the song I'm just trying to make more people aware that if they listen to this song and like it that they are fuckwits. Thats all you don't need to get offensive.

  • @BossCityBaller Look this song is complete dog shit and I don't know why the fuck you think its fuckin beautiful. Jesus christ I don't wanna call you a fuckwit but I got no choice fuckwit.

  • @BossCityBaller U mad.

    U mad 'cuz Nobuo Uematsu's stylin' on u.

  • @BossCityBaller Not sure if trolling, or just really stupid.

  • @germanjoe1337 "Not sure if trolling, or just really stupid." I am neither trolling nor stupid. You are the motherfucking troll for butting in like this you fucking asshole! God you are so fucking stupid it is unbelievable you fuckwit! In fact, you are the troll who leaves stupid bullshit like this so fuck you!

  • @BossCityBaller You really are a pleasant individual aren't you?

  • @BossCityBaller Nawww you're so cute when you try to troll. Look at you go.

  • @BossCityBaller STFU

  • @Segel And why should I shut the fuck up? Oh thats right because fucktard says so. If fucktard tells me to shut the fuck up it means I have to shut the fuck up right? You are just a motherfucking troll you know that you piece of dog shit. If you are going to butt in like this I'm going to make your troll ass put up or shut the fuck up!

  • @BossCityBaller STFU

  • @Segel You already said that you dumbass parrot!

  • @BossCityBaller FU & STFU.

  • @BossCityBaller :pls don't respond to this sorry sonof.. i don't know what ... he knew people don't like him

    even his own parent . but he doesnt care and in youtube he can be something if people respond to his crap

    so ignore him , he'll go somewhere else where some people bite his bait and rspond. that's when he feel he is something , someone important , actually he's a sorry case , in real life , people avoiding him. i'm sorry mr noballs , but you are a sorry case

  • @gideonbenisrael How am I sorry case when I get the honeys every night? Apparently you wish you had balls like mine. And if you did you wouldn't be spewing this bullshit like you are now fuckball.

  • @BossCityBaller :pls don't respond to this sorry sonof.. i don't know what ... he knew people don't like him

    even his own parent . but he doesnt care and in youtube he can be something if people respond to his crap

    so ignore him , he'll go somewhere else where some people bite his bait and rspond. that's when he feel he is something , someone important , actually he's a sorry case , in real life , people avoiding him. i'm sorry mr noballs , but you are a sorry case

  • @BossCityBaller i knew you're not stupid but you're not bright either , you're an angry frustrated middle age man or can i say.. pass middle age? i suggest a potent medicine for you. go release your anger , your frustration to someone who really deserve it , get a mirror ,look at it and swear the worst you can do to that sorry face in the mirror , and if you forgive him , and if you want, you could be a better person

  • @gideonbenisrael "i suggest a potent medicine for you" You know what you are: A motherfucking Pseudo-sage you cunt! I don't have any anger problems and you know it fucknut. I'm definitely bright because I am a professor of philosophy and I can tell you I teach lectures you would attend in your wet dreams so fuck you!

  • @gideonbenisrael "i suggest a potent medicine for you" You know what you are: A motherfucking Pseudo-sage you cunt! I don't have any anger problems and you know it fucknut. I'm definitely bright because I am a professor of philosophy and I can tell you I teach lectures you would attend in your wet dreams so fuck you!

  • @Gunslinger931 Don't speak for me asshole! I think this prelude sucks dick and if you get emotionally stimulated from this bullshit you are a fucking brain dead fuckwit.

  • i use to not even start the game until i heard it go through once. loved it.

  • get choked up every time.

  • Am I the only one who finds this to be their favorite prelude?

    Yes, I am? All right.

    But this prelude just seems so emotional. The other preludes are peaceful and all great, but the added melody @ about 0:45 seems so clean in it's sound primitiveness. Or something, I dunno.

  • @Gunslinger931 you can download the game from PSN Store for $10.00!

  • Gives me shivers...

    Utematsu you are a serious God.

    And this game is still the best I've ever played.

  • Could listen to this song all day..

  • Although I could just as easily post on how nostalgic I feel for my teenage years in the 90s (I was 16 when this game came out), upon profound reflection I realize that every time I listen to this song that the 90s continue to live on inside me. My memories of playing this game (and Final Fantasy Tactics) at my best friend's house after a bad day at school or on a lazy carefree 90s weekend will be among the most cherished I have.

  • The thing that sickens me the most is that COD 4 and 6 have scored higher than this.

  • @PirahnaProductions different genre of games, fps seems to be more appealing nowadays

  • @kbd668 Which has better music?,Which is more artistic?,Which is longer?,Which is cheaper?,Which has the better story?,Which has soul?.Different Genres but these factors still come into play.

  • @PirahnaProductions personally i like this game better but competitive gaming has my heart. COD is pretty fucking shitty and easy as hell though
