  • It really reminds me of the PS1 days. Thats when I grew up. The days of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Final Fantasy. Every time I look back on those memories, I always get that same picture in my head.

    A red sunset sky back in my original city that I grew up in, playing the oldschool Playstation games. Haha, who would've ever thought video games would make such an emotional impact on me.

    Being the life of a gamer, thats the good life. I honestly couldn't care any less about mansions and cars.

  • Masterpiece!

    Along with Aerith and Sephiroth theme

  • I always went back to see her ghost. It was fucking awesome. It made me think for the longest time that you could bring her back though. Sadly that's not true.

  • @Zer0SkiLL789 ?? Aeris had a ghost?

  • @xmisogyny Yes if you return the the Church when your on disk 3 she will appear in the top corner for like 3 seconds the first time you go there. AFter that she's only there for around a split second, try Youtubing it

  • @Zer0SkiLL789

    Wow, good thing I never saw that before. I probably would've balled for hours like I did when I had to watch her die

  • @xmisogyny :B

  • I want to walk down the aisle to this when I get married some day. :D

  • so relaxing! i loved the scene in the church :) such a beautiful scenery.... somtimes its much better than todays games

  • Want relaxing?

    1. Open two youtube tabs

    2. Other this other "rainymood" in youtube

    3. enjoy <3

  • Beatiful, makes me wanna play the game again. That would be something like 10+ time already ^^

  • @SepiRRotH89 me too :P

  • When its time to go to the Northern cavern go back to Aerises church u get to see her again :)

  • Do not step on the flowers.

  • "so we meet again"

    "?"

    "Don't you remember?"

    "...oh yeah I remember you"

    -You were the flower girl

    -The Slum Drunk

    *chooses 2nd choice*

    ".....Wut!?"

  • This game was special.

  • @CrazyEurazion to say the LEAST XDXDXDXD

  • I might be stating the obvious, but did anyone notice this is just a remix of Aerith's theme?

  • @HollyHCH You should try listening to music from FF9 and see if you can find any similarities between the songs. :P

  • @Phrosen1 To that effect, a lot of the songs in FF9 are similar to older games (or exactly the same), as a way of paying tribute to them. Which is why at the beginning of the game the band plays Rufus' Welcoming Theme.

  • LOL @ 4:48..sounds like he jumped or ran through the door or something

  • walks into the church *what the heck!!* runs out of the church.... *wait that music was pritty* walks back in and just stands there listening to the music making up lyrics to it.....

    exactly what i did when i played the game and was able to go back to the church

  • Everyone of these songs has nostalgia hit me like a wall

  • every time i sit down and listen to these melody i somehow feel soooo relax i close my eyes and wish to never open them again

  • @CabooseSoilder5 I know the feeling.

  • This game was the first game I bought with my own money and on the first console I bought. This song make me feel so nostalgic thanks Cloud183.

  • @LukeShetler In Japanese her name was originally Aerith but a translation error caused her name to become Aeris. They corrected it in Crisis Core. Some fans still prefer to use Aeris. It's all just a preference now. I like Aerith better, so I use that name.

  • I played and watched every Final Fantasy game and movie (Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, Advent Children, On a way to smile, Before Crisis), except for the original Final Fantasy VII. I finally got it now and I so far played up to the part where he leaves Aerith's house. I was about to cry since I know what's going to happen. This game is amazing. I don't care if it's PS1, it's better than ALL games coming out these days. Long Live Final Fantasy VII. A beautiful masterpiece.

  • @Rexorsist on a way to smile?

  • @Milomia9 It's a novel which explains the events between Final Fantasy VII and Advent Children. It's in japanese, but i found some really good english translations online.

  • @Rexorsist I know how it feels..Around 2006 (when I played FF VII for the first time) I was almost crying in the part where Cloud go on the gondola thing with Aeris (I say Aeris cause Aerith sounds so ugly) , my eyes were sooo watery U_U..I think that was the saddest part for me because I knew what was going to happen too (Damn magazines!)

  • @Rexorsist this game and its story, characters and music were all made with heart from the team. Atleast thats what I believe. Its a shame most games nowadays are not made by similar people, sure there are a few new games that have "Depth!!" but games like FF7 are like an oldpeice of art, many try to make their own masterpeice and it ends up paling in comparison.

    P.S.

    Uematsu is such a genius with music

  • @Rexorsist Thank you for restoring my faith in humanity. Final Fantasy 7 is the best game ever to grace the humankind. I am so glad to see youger people realise it as well. Thank you!

  • @JuhQman haha, you're welcome. I also lost all faith in humanity. It's really upseting to see people loving things that have no meaning like Call of Duty or listening to Justin Bieber. People who play this game realize life's true meaning.

  • @Rexorsist Don't you think this is very narrow-minded of you? Do you really mean what you're saying?

  • @tttc what exactly are you trying to say? I was refering to people who call good games and good music bad and yet love games like Call of Duty (which has no meaning) and say its better than other games. Of course Everyone has their opinions on things and sometimes people like other things. But when nearly ever person says that good games like Final Fantasty are garbage, that angers me and makes me lose faith in humanity. Sorry if you didn't understand the first time.

  • @Rexorsist I understand what you mean now, and I agree that it is sad..

    I don't think this is a good place to talk about it. Maybe this is selfish of me, but I came here to reminisce about this game, and be moved by this wonderful music, and whenever I see somebody bring up Call of Duty in that manner (which many do), I feel violated and feel as if you pissed all over the game, the music, and my feelings.

    If you dont like them for not liking what you like - dont say it here, please

  • @tttc This was really pointless and unnecessary. He can put his opinion wherever he wants and if more like it than you do you can go listen to the song somewhere else.

  • Even though we all may hate not getting into battles, gotta admit that going to Aeris's house was pretty enjoyable.. almost makes me wanna shed a tear, ya know?

  • I don't believe in an afterlife, but if there was a happy, blissful place that you did go to after you died, I imagine this song playing during the journey there :-)

  • that church in the slums, i always loved that place, i never found out why that was the only place in midgar where flowers grow,...but i like to think that they grow there because Aerith....

  • @ZakTheNinnja It is actually. there are flowers growing outside her house too

  • Still everytime I listen to fantastic peice of music the memory's come flooding back for the first time I played this masterpeice of a game I really dont think square could of made this game better great charaters all with different personalitys and traits faultless battle system stunning locations the diverse and twisting storyline and the best villian ever square I salute you for making this the greatest game ever.

  • That moment you go into the church for the first time since Aerith's death, and could swear you see her for a split second, tending the flowers as though nothing is wrong...

  • @coolkyle342 Actually if you enter the church anytime even before her death you'll still see her for a split second..That was actually a failure that square could not correct during the game's creation that they tried to make it seems like an intentionally put image of Aeris, like her ghost or something

  • @KelvinFelixify wtf??

  • 5 people didn't survive the crash through the church roof.

  • u get to hear this theme when cloud fell from the reactor and met aeris for the first time after landed safely on her flower bed

  • crashed through the celine then saw her there..

  • Aeris: Cloud, can you hear me?

    Cloud: Yeah, I hear you. Sorry for what happened.

    Aeris: Don't worry about it.

    Cloud: ...I can't help it...

    Aeris: Oh...

    Then, why don't you REALLY worry about it?

    And let me handle Sephiroth.

    And Cloud, you take care of yourself.

    So you don't have a breakdown, okay?

  • @Cloudcolin That's what always comes to my mind when I hear this song. The first time I heard it I though it was beautiful with a hint of sadness. Aeris waving goodbye really drove home the melancholy.

  • I know her name is actually "Aerith" but ugh "Aeris" sounds so much better. Especially because Aerith is just supposed to sound like "earth" which ... ugh, idk, I hate that reason for naming her Aerith. Aeris sounds so much more pleasant ... like Aeris!

  • @chommylala ...Why would you hate her name being named as an anagram of I, Earth?...I, Earth...She was last of the Cetra, of Gaia, she could talk with the Planet/Lifestream...Even 2 of her Limit Breaks make reference to this, Breath of the Earth, and Planet Protector.

  • @TheAbsoluteAzure idkkk, I know WHY "earth" is important when it comes to her, but Aerith just sounds bad to me. And Aerith isn't an anagram of earth.

  • @chommylala To be fair, I said it was an anagram of "I, Earth"...

  • @TheAbsoluteAzure but then earth in japanese is chikyuu, yet her name in the japanese version is Iarisu. so in the original this anagram would never work

  • @pxdud Except she was named Aerith, and they transliterated it to Iarisu, and had it transliterated back into Aeris. Even on the original Japanese packaging for promotional material she had the name Aerith. Like that. "Aerith" A-E-R-I-T-H. Just like Cloud was named "Cloud", not Kuradu...He was named in the Roman Alphabet, not in Japanese Kana/Kanji.

  • I like how they have Churches in this game. This is the only Final Fantasy game I like anymore, besieds Crisis Core. I can see why so many people like F.F. 7. I just might start a game on it since I'm alone alot these days and bored. Pretty theme.

  • Wtf? Her name is Aeris.

  • @justa16thnote Actually... no. That was a mistranslation on the American version's part. The official Japanese spelling is Aerith, which is why it was changed to that in America several years later for the later FF7 games (and movie) and the Kingdom Hearts series. I recommend you look at the Aerith article on the Final Fantasy wiki if you want the details.

  • @ProtectorNohVarr However an error it was, it was actually for the better because Aeris sounds and looks better.

  • @kioshi718 That's your opinion, so I won't object, but I personally prefer original Japanese versions to English versions (especially the case with 99% of all anime).

  • @ProtectorNohVarr ofc the Original language of a game is always the best, but if you don't unterstand it, english is almost always the best alternative. especially because most games, which are translated into any european language, for example german -in my case-, spanish, or french, are translated from the already translated english version. I don't know if that's relevant to the discussion, but what gives...

  • Yea, this is just a game.. a very good game, but just a game nonetheless. Aerith isn't real, there's no "in memory of" or "her memory". LOL Just a game character buddy.

  • i love how unique the music in this game sounds

  • Omg!! this is so sad Y~Y

  • i still play the game 9 years after learning about it.

  • in that church zack and aerith met.

    and aerith was in that church when zack died.

    zack was in the lifestream waiting for aerith.....

    may they meet once more in the lifestream.

  • After Aeris died, some asshole ran into the church and took on a dump on the flowers

  • @kbd668 lmao...but nice song..FF7 forever

  • I love this soundtrack so much. Nobuo Uematsu is the reason I started writing music, I heard his music 14 years ago and haven't stopped writing since.

  • @RichardBatchelor86 in life i have 2 idols Notch creator of minecraft and nobuo uematsu for his great works (better than mozart if i have to be honest)

  • @LottieHansis: "You're gonna catch holy hell!"

  • Reno: Don't step on the flowers.

    Other men: But you just did!

  • @LottieHansis -thinks this is what reno said next-

    Reno: no i didn't just don't step on the flowers

    Other men: yes sir!!

  • *cloud crashes thruogh the roof very similarly to zach*

    aerith: again?! do you know how much it costs to fix that roof?!

  • @BahamutZEROteraFlare how much gil? ^__^

  • I haven't heard his song in maybe over 5 years? And I can hum along with it perfectly. Btw, I misspelled "hum" with "cum" the first time I was typing this, but that would work too.

  • Aeris is cool and all but Cloud HAS to be with Tifa. We all know Aeris goes with Zack, and Zack is a badass!

  • @lightsora314 But they were a cute ''couple''  :'(

  • @DstileSK8 Aeris and Zack is better!!

  • @lightsora314  Yes, but they were cute.

  • @lightsora314 Cloud is better he has more of a F*ck you impression. And a Bigger.....Sword. (Yeah I know Zack gave the buster sword to cloud.)

  • @moomooimacat Fuck it, I can ship a 5-way. Just add Sephiroth and yr done!

  • @moomooimacat Yeah and Angeal gave his buster sword to Zack who in turn gives it to Cloud.. It kinda sucks that Aeris never gets to know that Cloud actually knew Zack, because Cloud is so mentally traumatized he forgets who Zack is, especially considering Cloud saw Zack die

  • @606thecliff I guess its partly good that he forgets. He'd probably just brood about it anyway. I mean, How much can one person brood anyway?

  • @moomooimacat It's just how Cloud is. Considering everything that happened to him (no friends, failed to become a soldier, village destroyed as well as the Jenova mind fuck and experiments) I don't really blame him. However in Crisis Core he was a lot less emo and a lot more naive and innocent.

  • This music plays during Cloud's dream when Aeris waves goodbye inside the Sleeping Forest. It's the last time she speaks to him in the game. "And I'll take care of Sephiroth." She runs off into the horizon while Cloud watches helplessly. Sigh...

  • @Kev95682 also when cloud first falls in the church right? and at aerith's house? it's been some time, but i remember so much of this game. touched my heart then, and it does today too.

  • Final Fantasy7 is the best game ever made.This is some of the most beautiful music I ever heard.

  • This song brings you at total peace

  • @fan02Few. I don't care if she was for Zack. Zack is dead and Tifa was an over-jealous twit who could stand up for herself really.

  • Every time. Every time I get to the part where I meet Aeris, a lump rises in my throat.

    Is that normal?

  • Aerith was better suited to Cloud than Tifa, and I have so much hate for Sephiroth, even more so that he killed her!

  • @SharnnaJAM Aerith was for Zach....Tifa was definitley the better fit for Cloud

  • MULTI-KILL!

  • Please don't make this a Love triangle related thing, just enjoy the music and Aerith's memory..

  • @JapanBlue54 Aeris, you tard

  • @555Zero555

    In the Japanese version(the original unaltered one) it is Aerith

  • @555Zero555 Shaddup, moron

  • i have decided screw match makers if us ladies want a good man to go into a church that has flowers blooming in it and take care of the flowers till some guy falls out of the sky!:D :)

  • You're the slum drunk...

  • Oh how nostalgia kicks in and brings you back a lot of stuff.

  • hahah who would pick aerith over tifa and her freaking E cup titties?!

  • @legolas199 maybe a guy who likes Aeriths personality?

  • So both Zack and Cloud smashed the precious flowers of Aerith...

  • this makes a nice love theme <3

  • Every time I come back to listen to this song (or any other FF7 OST), memories rush in like crazy.

  • @trankwility same here. all the good times i used to have, not having to worry about work or school.

  • i like that it is a twist with Aeriths theme!

  • 4 people stepped on the flowers XD

  • I can see a church and a Aeris girl taking care of the plants XD

  • This brings memories back ...

  • Saying Aerith sounds like you're trying to say Aeris with a lisp.

  • 3 people are going to catch holy hell for disliking this

  • Wow tifa's theme and flowers blooming in the church has the same amount of likes and dislikes :O guess its fun to point that out before it changes!

  • 1 person who disliked is one of the turks

  • Oh my, i just found this almost more sad than her death song due to all the memory of Aerith, i liked her back when i was 8, which was around the age when i began to play it first, my favourite character then...

  • its bring back my memories playing this FFVII..who ever playing this game will feel like he is really become one with the game..and the survivor of Midgar city..for me, final fantasy will never die..

  • :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

  • Kaa-san...

  • I think this should have been aerith's theme personally...it fits her personality better.

  • @nayr987 It IS Aerith's theme.

  • 1 person who disliked this is Tifa.

  • @Victo1678 XD

  • @Victo1678 No man, the four people who disliked it are Sephiroth and a couple of clones.

  • @Victo1678 apparently she has made 4 accounts just to do that.

  • @Victo1678 The other three who disliked this was Kadaj, Loz, and Yazzo. LOL

  • @Victo1678 haha make that 4

  • @Victo1678 All the FF characters who liked this theme ubt wren't in the church when this played disliked it! :P

  • @Victo1678 LOL.Final Fantasy7 is the best game ever made.

  • @Victo1678 Lololol

  • The beginning of this song is a total rehash of Celes' theme from VI. Which is why it is absolutely breathtaking.

  • @Deathbymimes Good call, didn't catch that.

  • How could you dislike this what the fuck....

  • The way the japanese pronounce it is: Ae-ri-su. So Aeris comes closer than Aerith. I think FF VII was the first time where I lost someone dear to me.

  • i heard tat in the japanese version of the game, Aerith comes back alive if u visit the place where Cloud laid her to rest!

    not sure if this is true but at tat time my sister did so much research at tat time and claimed tat she can come back if u visit her grave in the japanese version. even to this day she still addicted to it to the game and still plays it.

  • Beautiful them until...

    *Reno enters the Church*

    Aeris: Wait! my theme is too beautiful to end!

    Reno: Too bad. My hot sexy theme wants to play now.

    Cloud: lol what?

    Reno: Shut up cloud you don't even have a theme!

    Aeris: Really? Omg that's sad.

    Cloud: .... It's not fair *cries in corner*

  • @Made4542 Cloud: .... WAIT!!! My theme is the main theme so ha!!!!!!!!

  • @MrsPhim

    Reno: If that's true, then how come it doesn't say "Cloud's theme"?

    Cloud: It doesn't have too! I'm to epic so they throught calling it that wouldn't do me justice.

    Aeris: ...My Theme is still better.

    Reno: No mine is!

    Sabin: Should we toss a coin?

    Everyone else: Go back to your game!

  • just what I was looking for

  • @MrGrim12047

    Aerith is from Japanese version of the game, Aeris is from the US and Europe.

  • One person had their flowers crushed by Cloud.

  • I always remember the Cover materia outside of this church when I hear this song.

  • Am I...in heaven?

  • @JackMetJill The 7th Heaven!?

  • It's funny, in Crisis Core, Zack can't step on the flowers but in FF7, Cloud can.

  • @Deschist Zack loves Aeris too much. Cloud couldn't care less because he has busty Tifa.

  • @Deschist haha. can not. she stops you and tell you not to step on them =)

  • One person died when they fell through the church's roof.

  • Always hated Aeris, but every melody related to her is amazing, including this one! So awesome, brings me back to 1997's cold winter, with a hot chocolate and this fantastic game! I was only 8 back then, but seems like it was only yesterday. ((

  • @Detsurasu

    I know man... I feel the same way.... Playing this game for hours after school, not worrying about bills, or school, or life. Now shit is all serious, and all anyone cares about is themselves.

  • Comment removed

  • @WeedTuber420 I know how you feel as well... I feel the same way, and yet, part of me feels differently. The vividness of my memories and the truth of my feelings in my opinion means I have a choice. I can either allow myself to become sucked into the same bullshit that seems to have enveloped most other people, or I can simply choose not to. I'm not turning a blind eye so much as looking at things in a different way. After all, perception creates your reality, right?

  • 1 person steped on the flowers and got thier ass kicked by aeris

  • Hey, there reason why there two Aeris and Aerith. The English Version is Aeris and the Japan is Aerith.

    This song is sooooo peaceful. I listen to it when I get mad and it calms me down.

  • @m4sterofP4in Yeah, but it turned out that Aeris was merely a typo. So that's why ever since in sequals and spin offs including her character in US ports, her name is now corrected as Aerith.

  • I shave to this song...

  • @921144666 what?!

  • @guitarmanbadass Not really…this song just reminds me of morning time, and I shave in the morning, which led me to saying that. :-)

  • @921144666

    O.O

    lolwhut?

  • @xxxLockxxNxxloadxxx Try shaving to this song first thing in the morning…I bet it’ll be a happy feel good experience. :-D

  • New final fantasy's suck when compared to the ps1 final fantasies. ff7 best plot in the series. (i second 8th)
