Final Fantasy VIII - Only A Plank Between One and Perdition

[Silver666Hedgehog]

Squall:You have disonored this entire unit.

[FlowingDepths]

This is the song that plays when you get a test and don't know wtf to do on it...

[Ciuperciuc]

"A Challenger Approaches."

[EternalSoulOfGaia]

3 people disliked the D-District Prison.

[Ultramagnusfan94]

Ultima Weapon..... so much fun....

[digitalcomis1]

i remember this music was playing when you have to run across the bridge on the desert prison, first time i played it i didn't realise i was supposed to move xD

[k0ng0otto]

never go on toilet to this song.... just believe me ;=)

[ilovepeetaforlife]

i feel like there are soliders in my school coming to attack and then i feel like its battle time people!!

[Sentuyashi]

*Rezonkuken* Yay! I am winning!!

"Ultima Weapon - *Light Pillar*"

Me "FUCK NOOOO"!!

*9999*

[Claymore729]

So just use Full-Life, get back up and keep fighting!

[TimsRants]

Nobody call Squall Leon, if you do, you'll hear this music and be dead within seconds.

[spyguy59]

Set this as my cellphone ringtone

everytime it went off i just started sprinting

(Assuming I was outside or in school. Yes, I got up and ran out the door in the middle of class a few times)

That's how much of a "Run or die" vibe i get from it.

[Ladon68]

I play this song when I have a paper due on Fridays at 8:00am and I'm just now starting the paper at.....6:00am.

[PrincessSorica]

In my opinion, Omega Weapon was easier than I expected. He actually wasn't to hard. Granted, I had 100 heroes, but still, he was not all that hard.

[PhantomSin626]

@PrincessSorica thats because if you really think about it these types of games are not hard in the least bit.... im not knocking them or nothing i really like them but like i said there isnt any real difficulty in them

[willyFF7]

funny how this was suggested in a planking vlog topic video lol.

[CCReed97]

@willyFF7 Obviously because planking = Guaranteed perdition

[willyFF7]

@CCReed97 LMAO xD well said, that's true.

[dnmstarsi]

@Justforvisit wat about escapin a missile base thats bout to explode

[thickterranarmor]

Why no one love Private Funnyman?

[darklunarknight]

lyrics: R1 L1 R1 L1 R1 L1 R1 L1 R1 L1 R1 L1 R1 L1 R1 L1

[LadyLimstella]

OMG ITS THE OMEGA WEAPON!!!!!!! NOT AGAIN! OHHHHH THE NIGHTMARES!!!! Dx

Lol sorry about that :3

[N1ceV1d]

only a plank between one and perdition, the landing, and maybe i'm a lion. r all my favorites.

[nanakhy83]

@N1ceV1d movin , the stage is set are also quite sorry for my english i'm french

[Residentevil31313]

Aw, man, running all over Balamb Garden, everyone running where they're suppose to be. Good times, man!!

[nanakhy83]

this is my ringtone when my moms calls

[Lyndzayy09]

@nanakhy83 Lmao

[369destroyer]

Must...not...lose

[Knuckles1011]

This song plays whenever I'm stuck in traffic and I have to take a humongous dump... O.o

[azokrhall]

Three words: RUN, RUN, RUN!

[zebratux]

Best all-nighter music EVER.

[iriuz2]

This song is played when your Mom tells you to tide your toom. you look at it, and you see its an absolutely mess. Then you look at your Mom. Cooldown timer starts.

[NessunaVerita]

this is why i was never a normal teenager...my first and only crush for about 6 years....was Selphie........and a little bit of Rinoa....and Quistis...when she cracks that whip........yeah im still not normal...

[Justforvisit]

@NessunaVerita "normal"...I lol at that word :D

[Clickykid]

@Justforvisit that word has no meaning to me

[dancerqt4212]

@NessunaVerita It's quite okay. i grew up thinking squall was real, and was dead set on marrying him.

[Standuble]

@dancerqt4212 Aww that's sweet. When I was a kid I fell in love with Lara Croft :)

[Harkz0r]

@Standuble When I was a kid I thought Lara's conical breasts in the first Tomb Raider were hilarious D:

[Standuble]

@Harkz0r My first TR game was Last reveleation. No conical breasts in that installment.

[Democracide]

@Lolzzz587 emerald and ruby weapons. there's no setup to cakewalk those.

[ImTellingOnYoo]

(Quistis) "Are the machine guns and main cannon ready?"

(Selphie) "Rrready! Let's just fire like crazy and make a big hole, BOOM!"

[TehKazlehoff]

FF6US/3JP>FF8>>FF7=/=FF10>Ever­ything else FF related.

[Clickykid]

"There is no real reason, maybe we were born, only to fight...." Squall has the best quotes in the series.

[urikobb3]

@Clickykid Also including "..." and "...Whatever"

[Clickykid]

@urikobb3 anything that squall says is awsome though

[MrWanchompong]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEE ITTTTTT!!!!! I FEEL I WAS LIKE REBORN WHEN I HEAR THIS AGAIN!!!!!!! I MISSSSSSSSSS THIS BGM.. I HOPE THEY REMAKE Final fantasy 8 or make a movie of it like FF7. thanks for this upload.

[Clickykid]

@Lolzzz587 i've never had the patience or skill to kill it

[Clickykid]

@Lolzzz587 Yiazmat from XII

[Feldschleimer]

click on hidden answer at some mysterious island. incoming bahamut. dead within seconds. such is life in final fantasy

[ItsAaronTheBEAST]

this song plays when i realize that i forgot to do my homework

[MAJICB0B]

Too bad this wasn't added into Duodecim...

[AnimeGamerXIV]

Must... Get... Eden... from... Ultima Weapon...

*Draws Eden* Hell yeah!

*Ultima Weapons pwns me and i die*

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF­FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thumbs up if this ever happened to you!

[mrajaraven]

"Shit, Squall you're my last chance, one final Renzokuken"

**Lion Heart**

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS TAKE THAT ULTIMA WEAPON.

[Clickykid]

@mrajaraven for me it was like "OH SHIT ULTIMA WEAPON!!!!"

Renzokuken into Lionheart.

"Oh that was easy. =D"

[fawell00]

I FINNALY FOUND THIS SONG.

[hazelXin223]

God.. this game makes me want to cry tears of joy. Best fucking game ever.

[jocinondemhaterzmen]

why couldnt the gang just gotten helivaced the heck out of there dammit!

[orihalchon]

The time! THE TIME! The Time is ticking!

[vampireaustintl]

Whenever I hear this, I automatically think "Oh no! Something's wrong!" Something always happenes when this song played in the game

[RiddleAnim]

Who else gets the "Run or die" vibe from this?

[fury614]

@RiddleAnim me

[Luis1vo]

@RiddleAnim hehe yes!

[Luis1vo]

One day i'm going to plug in back my PS1 and finish again this fantastic game.

[EternalDarkness333]

@RiddleAnim yeh. the name conjures up the imagery of being on a plank above hell walking between two places. one wrong step and your dead!

perdition is a state of eternal punishment and damnation for those who didn't know.

[TrueDarkNesa]

For some reason, when I hear this song, I feel like I'm timed and if I don't do something in time, it's game over. Thumbs up if you agree. ;D

[elonna229]

@TrueDarkNesa Funnily enough i was listening to this whilst having 5 minutes left to leave for work haha



[Justforvisit]

@TrueDarkNesa Yeah, like fleeing out of a small mountain village while a giant freaking electro spider is running after you, going for your life....

...strange, right now I have the feeling I have seen this somewhere before...

[Andirwan]

@TrueDarkNesa yes like fighting Bahamut!

[IlBannato4ever]

@TrueDarkNesa Damn, you're right ahahah

[RosalinaAndPeach]

I like more the FFF: Chocobo's Dungeon WII version one. But the originals always win :D

[Zilronman]

i AM Private funnyman! Demoman, you have dishonored this entire unit! Consider yourself dead you scotch son of a bit­ch!

[thegameijustlost]

3 people lost in the battle of the gardens

[OmegaDragon365]

Sounds like music for metal slug

[xenohacker]

Bahamut: I am...Bahamut

Squall: The Great GF...Bahamut

Bahamut: ...GF? I...? Using my powers......it is you humans...I fear...

[Clickykid]

3 people were more then a plank between one and perdition

[odrobina55]

I remember this. This was back then when Bahamut wasnt a Transformer.

[Clickykid]

@odrobina55 PMSL

[odrobina55]

@Clickykid

????

[Clickykid]

@odrobina55 i take it with the transformer thing you're basing it on XIII?

[odrobina55]

@Clickykid

Yes

[Clickykid]

@odrobina55 lol i agree with you then he was better on the early games before XIII came along

[ArceusDX]

@Clickykid yup, that's what he meant

[darkmiltonius999]

"Have you seen the light?"

[srperc]

Sorry, meant to post "Ultima weapon" lol... ack that ruins the post.

[srperc]

*Ultimecia appears*

Squall: Hey, Irvine, throw me one of those heroes, I need to Lionheart his ass.

Irvine: Fuck'that, I'm using it on myself!

[058875915]

......OH GOD ITS BAHAMUTT......hey he's kinda easy *mega flare* 8k dmg to everyone.............JESUS CRIST KILL HIM KILL HIM NOW

[LysergIY]

first, go down. you find dirt. then you go up. all those GOD DAMN LEVELS.

[Clickykid]

"The legendary GF Bahmut?..."



[mauroprovatos]

@Clickykid

"GF?..I?"

[Clickykid]

@mauroprovatos "Using my powers...... It's you humans i fear..."

[Residentevil31313]

Ultima weapon. :) Kept killing me with his Light Pillar... hehe, fucker...

[GracusProductions]

Ultima Weapon Battle; BGM: Between one and perdition.

Conclusion: PERFECT!

I love to play with UW... Weapons FTW!

o/

[johneddy07]

INCOMING!!! Take cover!! Balamb Garden is under siege!!!

[thor2070]

This is my forth favorite.

[NitsuaXepher]

Three people panicked and hit the wrong button when Biggs and Wedge knocked on the door.

Silly noobs.

[Residentevil31313]

"Damned Imbeciles! Why do you wish to fight?"

For the sake of protecting something

None of your business

>

[Clickykid]

@Residentevil31313 "It's our nature"

[Residentevil31313]

@Clickykid "There is no real reason. Maybe we were born... only to fight."

[IrishVagrant]

Thanks for doing this, Cloud183. Someone had to take the reins from SilvaGunner's gone-but-not-forgotten stockpile of gaming's greatest. You're doing a mighty fine job. I salute you!

Oh yeah, and this song totally rocks. :P

[Pankratous]

@IrishVagrant But the quality of this is so bad :S

[irelandcool1]

Am I the only one who thinks that bahamut is more epic having him go one on one with squall or if the other two die and just fighting the rest of the battle with squall I also find fighting the rest of the battle with just squall while the other two are dead in the fight against ultima weapon is epic even though its challenging 

[PullarBearBear]

I didn't know Bahamut was so easy with 100 Ultimas junctioned.

Now I keep thinking: What was I doing when I first played the game that I couldn't even kill the first guardian in Ultimecia's Castle?

[strawberrymochapapi]

@PullarBearBear No shit. I remember not even junctioning much my first time (cause I didn't understand the system, silly me) and grinded everyone till lvl 100. It was a miracle I finished the game.

[tokyworld]

thumbs up if you got ass raped by ultima weapon the first time you fought him.

Light pillar left me speechless.

[SailorSaturn69]

@tokyworld My big bro had used a gameshark code on my first file for 100 of every item. I went all out with Holy Wars.

[chewynickerson]

this is the music that plays anytime i have a SR-71 up in black ops.....

[Residentevil31313]

BAHAMUT!!!

[Clickykid]

this song would be so awesome in like the final of the football world cup or any sport related tournament

[ProudFinn1]

The Galbadians are coming! The Galbadians are coming!

[Clickykid]

I love this song and it rocked with Ultimate Weapon however, i still prefer Force your way when fighting omega i purposely made the battle last ages

[GabberKrys92]

*tuuuuuut tuuuuuuut tuuuuuuuuuut* Voice - Allarm! Allarm! the prisoners escape! All the personal fint them and capture! Repeat All personal find the escapers and capture them! If need kill them!

Party - D:Fuck D: RUN!

[Kryzstoffe]

Whenever I'm late and driving somewhere, this song always starts playing in my head.

[AnotherMe21]

@Kryzstoffe I just imagined you with a shirt and tie on driving with a frantic look on your face occasionally checking your watch.

[Clutch3Ball]

Just yesterday I was cycling and I forgot something. I was listening to 'Force Your Way'. Right after I realised and turned the other way around, this song played.



[israsen]

Bien! ya tengo el tono ideal para las alertas en mi radio jaja

[wsz71]

This song plays when I'm pissed off standing in a long line

[stopeatingthepizza]

You have dishonored this entire unit!

[UltimeciaKnight]

you really feel like you're in the story with this music :D

[Helbereth]

I often wonder why the FF8 tracks don't get remixed as often as some of the others. I mean, if there were ever a perfect guitar riff to replicate with real instruments, this would be it.

[Kupo923]

@Helbereth Look up this song on SongeLeReveur's channel :)

[Raith101]

Great music, some of the best of any Final Fantasy, certainly my favorite of Final Fantasy VIII, they couldn't have picked a better song when you're fighting Bahamut and Ultima Weapon.

[TeokiaGracia]

OMG This music would always make me say RUN FOR YOUR DAMN LIVES !! And then here are my friends and we're all running around like wild gooses LOL !!

Good memories !!

[snakeviper008]

Suitable music for those who partake in the extreme forms of planking.

[TheChosenHamHam]

@snakeviper008 Indeed good sir, indeed.

[sbobillierc]

What first comes into my mind when I hear this song is the battle between the two gardens. One of my favorite parts of the game.

[MercilessOne]

Out of fucking nowhere, Ultima Weapon!

[irishdude1988]

Panic!!!!

[HTankGlory]

Same here STRONGLY.! X3 "I am.  Bahamut.." :D

[AfrojacX]

I just came so hard, and so much.

SO FUCKING MUCH.

I love this song.

[DanTheMan8819]

Remember when this song was played in Fisherman's Horizon?

Smart idea, Mayor Dobe had. "I'm gonna go try to reason with the most violent army in the world. I can't see how this will fail."

Squall thinks to himself: "He's dead"

[Clickykid]

@DanTheMan8819 and he get's annoyed when you save his life....

[peuhkis]

The air is getting heavier...

[MrTerraria4life]

@peuhkis i would rather have it lighter if you know what i mean :P

[romeroremor]

oh god the building is digging into the sand hurry up hurry uuuup...NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOO

[HarikenKaze]

OMG THE BOATS ARE LEAVING AND A STUPID GIANT MECHA SPIDER THING IS CHASING US!!!!!!!! This song was playing during that part right?

[Standuble]

@HarikenKaze The tune played throughout the Spider scene was "Never look back." This was played in the D-district prison escape, the battle of the Gardens for a while, briefly during the attack on Timber TV station, the invasion of FH, the attack on Lunatic Pandora with the Ragnarok, the battle against Bahamut and the battle against Ultima Weapon.

This is one of my favourites which is why I remember :)

[HarikenKaze]

@Standuble Oh, nvm then, I think this could have worked there though

[desryu]

@rbrt2011 Not likely as they learn the error of their ways by the end of the game.

[AdmiralTrainstorm]

@rbrt2011 But Raijin is perfect ya know?

[RoyaleAssassin]

those 3 who dislikes this song are those 3 who obeys Ultimecia

[Remuko]

@thissong Y U NO IN DISSIDIA!?

[snyperductions]

Why the fuck is no one remembering when you fly the ragnorock (spelt wrong probably) into Lunatic Pandora!!

[vagrantstory1000]

Bahamut and Ultima weapon

Bahamut : Mega Flare

Ultima Weapon : Light Pillar

The most dangerous attack

[Devintuel]

I remember this song so well because my lack of training left me ill-prepared for the battle with Raijin and Fujin at Balamb. Plus, I did not realise Raijin absorbed lightning and I had Squall suped up with 53 ultimas under STR, and 100 thundagas under Elem-ATK. and every time I died I would forget to unequip it again ;-;

[Ajilla50]

this sound like the terminator chase by the liquid metal dude!

[SKFrance]

Hurry up!!

[gimmesomechange]

What does only a plank between one and perdition actually mean? There's a thin line between Squall's demise? I have no idea.

[EternalDarkness333]

@gimmesomechange Perdition = Hell

so when the music plays it infers they are very close to dying / they are in a very dangerous situation that has a very small margin for error.

[KeybladeHaven]

@gimmesomechange One also means Unity.

So, combining that with what EternalDarkness333 said, "A Plank Between One and Perdition" basically means your standing on the fine line between unity and damnation, and you have a small margin for error.

[Standuble]

@gimmesomechange I've wondered the same thing, perhaps plank is literal e.g you're walking the plank like in a pirate movie, but perdition is metaphorical? Only this time you're walking the plank not over water but over a bottomless pit. One bad move/one mistake and you know there's no going back; you're going to die. However it is the plank you are walking on at the moment which has stopped you from falling, the question is how long will it buy you time to escape or how long until you fall?

[xenohacker]

Badass Ultima weapon theme. Best suited for the research island and its dark mysteries........ like Ultima weapon and Bahamut. 

[Verginator18]

Ultima weapon steals Cloud's (From FFVII) Ultimate weapon but makes it bigger ready to destroy Squall's and his team mates hahaha!!!

[Harkz0r]

@Zekermei Nah, that's something else. It's, uh, let me see... Never Look Back.

[Harkz0r]

Anyone else find it funny that these videos all have the [HQ] tag but they're only in 240p? Anyway... this theme reminds me the most of Galbadia D-District Prison, if only because that's where I was in the game (doh!) when I originally tried to search for a MIDI/mp3 of this. Also it reminds me of that spoof vid with Seifer, Fujin and Raijin.

[crypticspoon93]

@Harkz0r exactly how does the resolution of an image effect the quality of the sound?

[Harkz0r]

@crypticspoon93 Probably because YouTube also alters the bitrate depending on the resolution you run the video at. I don't know the technicalities, but I do know that Nashblitz's upload, for one, sounds far less compressed than this, and runs at a higher number. Also video quality does seem to correlate to sound quality in general on YT, from what I've experienced.

[roxas5634]

this song keeps the adrenaline pumping! just a shame that this isnt the theme for Omega Weapon. Only Ultima Weapon gets this theme.

[gamer12th]

3 people couldn't escape with squall and the others

[ME412able]

i play this game i honestly cant think of any game with better music :D

FF8 favorite would have to be The Landing, also a hands down epic moment :D

[realjamable]

i love reading the top comments on all the FF OST youtube vids

[gimmesomechange]

Escaping the prison...

[KillerChris2013]

This song should play whenever someone at school makes me want to strangle them and i chase them all throughout the place lol

[Justforvisit]

@KillerChris2013 They'll probably start to call you X-ATM092 by then... :/

Don't be too staggered when suddenly a blonde teacher with short hair and glasses is chasing after YOU with a gatling gun then :S

[KillerChris2013]

@Justforvisit i actually do hav a blonde teacher that wears glasses... but shes kinda old, and i dont think she can run lol. besides, ill steal the gatling gun to chase whoever makes me mad.

[SoopahUltraTV]

This music plays when Chuck Norris goes to fetch the paper.

[mrcoleman1991]

If it wasn't for this music, the prison section of the game would have caused me to commit suicide =P

[HolySwordsman1]

@mrcoleman1991 yep the running of doom i remember.

[hidedasausage]

Or when you're fighting Ultima Weapon at the bottom of the research facility

[TheShadowfan9000]

ya know theres something wrong happening or urgent when you hear this music :P its like when someone walk in and you had peaceful music on, then the guy says, "I've set the entire building with explosives" *music starts* then ur like "OH ****!!!!!!!!"

[SXSic]

I personally liked this song better in the missile base after being discovered
