Final Fantasy VI OST - Celes' Theme

[Quistisious]

This theme was dedicated to me as soon as I met my best friend, Danny. in New Jersey of 1998. He was playing it on the piano as I walked into the room and the rest was history.

[kevnar]

Tune a half-step down. Intro: Cm.. Dsharpm. Fsharpm. B... Verse: E... Gsharpm... A... Gsharpm... Fsharpm... E... Dsharp.. Gsharpm.B. E... Gsharpm... A... Gsharpm... Fsharpm... E... B... Csharpm... Bridge G.F. E... G.D. E... Repeat from Verse: (It looks like crap, but Youtube wouldn't let me type a number sign. Each dot is a beat in 4/4 time. But you'll figure out the rhythm if you're a true fan.)

[Draconarus]

The OST for Final Fantasy VI is great! and the history is very beautiful and exciting game for her scenes, characters... great Final Fantasy with all letters xD.

[dilps]

Cannot...forget...suicide...sc­ene...AGHGHGHRGRGHRGHGH

[michaelferns88]

This makes me think of Love Grow's from Final Fantasy 8. Both are slow down versions of major themes being the Opera in FF6 and Eyes on me on FF8.

[brattymaddyandmason]

*after cid's death * Sabin: what happened to that banana suit guy

Celes:uummmmmm

All:MURDERER!!!!!!!!

[MGSCloud]

I can't listen to this song without getting chills. It's just so moving and captures Celes' inner struggles perfectly. This must be one of the greatest games of all time

[zidanetribal661]

Aerith=Aeris???? FF7?

[USURIAGA3]

This is one of the most sensibles

[MrThomVD]

Love this theme. It's Fairy Fountain combined with Aerith's theme.

[daveeol1987]

i start crying

[ravonosify]

Oh, my hero...

So far away now....

Will I ever see your smile?

Love goes away, like night into day,

It's just a fading dream.......

[KurokiRose]

Lovely never played as far as to get Cele's it reminds me of Aerith's Theme (or I guess Aerith's theme reminds me of Cele's Theme???) :)

[101shezad101]

Wow, no dislikes

[p23as84i]

I havent ever played this to end because FF7-10

[TheAllbis]

This...Is what made FF6 my favorite game ever, I played the game in 2010, Loved it since.

[ViobigO]

Fairy Fountain The Legend of Zelda?

[indieglee261]

this is truly an amazing, beautiful track and celes is one of my fav characters right before terra. i pronounce her name CELLS. i know its probably not the right way to say it but how do you pronounce it???

[tidusmi2]

@indieglee261 I always pronounced it Sa-Less.

[crayonkiler]

@indieglee261 I pronounce celes like SELL-ESS

[kellyraye815]

@crayonkiler I always thought it was see-lees? Which is the correct way?

[crayonkiler]

@kellyraye815 I'm not exactly sure but hey we really dont know how to pronounce her name right? So however you feel like pronouncing it is fine I guess, theres no way im going to change saying her name like Sell-us im just so used to it after ive played the entire gameXD

[DullBones]

A Magitek knight forged by the Empire and tempered in battle. None have ever truly known the woman beneath the general's guise...

-Celes Chere

[tidusmi2]

I think if this story were made into a movie or at least if it was decided what is officially canon, Cid would have died in WoR like he did in my game, it just wouldn't fit the whole tragic feeling if he lives.

[TheDeadpool3001]

I hated a point in the game when after I saved Cid, I got killed in Tzen, forgot to save after saving Cid, and the fish that saves Cid just don't turn up, and he dies. I was like, "WHAT THE HELL!?"

[Clickykid]

I still think Celes' theme is the music that plays in the opera scene

[brlarini]

@Clickykid But is the same music

[Packinski]

Am I the only one who remembers "I'm the darkness / You're the stars / Your love is brighter than the sun" at 2:00?

[CloudXTurk]

@Packinski I have the whole damn opera score memorized >.>

[Shadowbane3]

Celes is the best out of the entire cast. She's the only one who stuck it out through the apocalypse. Everyone else just gave up -_-

[PureRok]

@Shadowbane3 She very clearly gave up. She tries to commit suicide. I'm pretty sure that's the ultimate form of giving up.

[Shadowbane3]

@PureRok I can half concede that point. I say half concede because that situation presents itself depending on whether or not you manage to save Cid. I saved him in my game (and didn't remember until I saw your response that it can go either way, lol)

[fr801]

i always hated celes (at that time i thought terra should've stayed with locke xD) but her theme is awesome!

[ATM9318]

I'm glad that this video has no dislikes. Let it stay that way.

[SuperGrowPlants]

best game I ever played. I love it, the music takes me back to my childhood and brings so many great and sad memory's. so much chaos and sadness in one game yet it was the most amazing thing ever created. remember when Cyans family got smoked by the poison in the river? WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH....

[AzraelDKF]

I remember when this game first came out and I had all of the midi songs that I got off of Geocities or Xoom fanpages, this by far was my favorite *GOD I'M OLD!*

[r0bz0rly]

that scene on the island with cid just...wow. twisted my heart in a million different ways

[SuperGrowPlants]

@r0bz0rly yeah and remember Cyans family? or Gau's dad? or Lockes girl? or Relms house? list goes on and on.

[Yabuturtle]

A very touching moving and depressing song. I really loved Celes. She's a cute bold woman, who may appear to be cold but she really is caring and loving. Her theme is magnificent. I was sad she attempted suicide. I mean, that was dark to see especially when I was a kid. Still I'm glad she survived, and got in touch with her feelings.

She is also one of the hottest girls in FF too xD I always had a crush on her.

[VerbalRadiation]

If i listen to this song and was depressed pretty sure i would just END MY LIFE!!

other than that, i brings a tear to my eye everytime i listen to it.

*sniff*

[Minan3]

Celes was lonely, she was the only character that didn't get introduced with her theme.

[enterprise0709]

this makes me sad :(

[arcadianskies77]

Takes me back so far it hurts. Haha. Long live FFVI.

[Nadel350]

@arcadianskies77 So, so far...

[Idtelos]

This is the best FF made.

[blazervision]

One of the most beautiful songs in video game history.

When I first played this game in 1994, it brought out all the emotions in me...laughter, sadness, fear, anger, excitement. It was the first game that I felt I "experienced" rather them just played. FF6 will forever be one of the greatest gaming experiences.

[angierre]

@blazervision I couldn't agree with you more!! I could listen to this music forever and never get tired of it...

[blitzmichael2]

I need a lyrics of this one

[Zebulization]

@blitzmichael2 Oh my hero, so far away now. Will I ever see your smile?

Love goes away, like night into day. It's just a fading dream...

I'm the darkness, you're the stars. Our love is brighter than the

sun. For eternity, for me there can be,

only you, my chosen one...

Must I forget you? Our solemn promise? Will autumn take the place of

spring?

What shall I do? I'm lost without you. Speak to me once more!

[ReflexWicked]

My heart is wrung whenever I hear this song ... My childhood, all the great memories of this game and the series; not just of FF6, but of all of them; 7, 8, 5, 4, 9 ... This somehow echoes all throughout ... Many songs do, but I find this one to be very malleable and used many times throughout the series. If not the song, the idea of the piano and synth in a touchy-feely way.

Reminds me of when Celes was with Cid, and Cid died ... And she was on the shore, in the new darkened world ... 5/5!

[angierre]

@ReflexWicked It reminds me of the part where Locke tries to apologize to Celes for questioning her motives--that's the first time this theme plays in the game, I believe. I remember watching that scene with watery eyes as this song began to play. This makes me wanna play FF VI again!!

[NoisySerg]

@ReflexWicked You do know cid doesn't have to die, right? I always feel sad when people fail to rescue him because they get confused with that whole deal about the fish.

"Just a fish" "Fish" "Rotten fish" "Fresh fish" or something like that. Hahahaha! :p

[PeyserConley]

@NoisySerg I always let Cid die because I love the scene with Celes alone on the island. Poor Cid... but that scene was so powerful. =)

[schnei1811]

@ReflexWicked you can save Cid

[GunbladeRevolver]

@ReflexWicked Yeah that was so sad, after that she was just ready to call it quits. 

[shnglbot]

@ReflexWicked her suicide attempt really got to me emotionally.

what other songs epitomize final fantasy for you? i'd like to know!

[hasirin]

this was my favourite theme along with the opera

aria de mezze caratterre ownz

[Vmguest]

im crying
