Black Mages Live: Grand Cross

[RichyJam2011]

This one gets me fired up. Shame Necron was a pussy

[Shadohime]

@RichyJam2011 In comparison to whom? Considering how the entire battle system was toned down in comparison to FFVII and VIII (no multi-hit attacks, reinstituting the 9999 damage cap), I think Necron was a reasonably tough final boss.

Granted, he didn't hold a candle to Ozma (whom I say is the toughest secret boss in FF history), but secret bosses are SUPPOSED to be hard.

[shamlix]

previously when on psx, i load my last save in ff9 before final kuja many times, just to hear this song many times (and the song before it - tranced kuja theme which sounded like queen's we will rock you). other people hear this song think i'm weird.

now i heard this version, i like this song more

[rennazhang426]

awhile ago, they were soul reapers with guitars. Now they're wizards with guitars. XD they're so cool!!

[kuwaizair]

i wonder if anyone will make fan lyrics

[SuperfriendsProject]

wow. just. wow.

[ImperialWill421]

I was recently listening to a playlist I made dedicated to the Black Mages' tracks and this song wound up being last in it. Grand Cross? In this case, at the time of this comment, Grand Finale!

[jammin0591]

they all look like they attend at hogwarts

[ShotGunAnd]

@jammin0591 lol, you're right! xD

[ImperialWill421]

FF9's Battle Theme! Necron's Theme! Took me a sec, but I got it lol! ^_^

Nubuo for the most epic King of the Composers!

[miyagi18]

holly fuck, kenichiro fukui has 3 fantoms!!!!

[ricleonhart]

@miyagi18 Not exactly, he has one Fantom X7, one Korg M3 and one Korg Trinity V3. The others are a Roland Juno-Di (top) and RD-700GX (bottom)

[ricleonhart]

@miyagi18 Correction; the top black is a Juno-G, not a Di.

[richythepianoman]

Nobuo reminds me of Mr Miyagi. "Man who catch fly with chopstick accomplish anything"

I'm thinking Nobuo Uematsu catched a fly with chop sticks at some point in his life, because he is a fucking god!!!

[b0b1919]

They really should do 'Dark Messenger'. That would be fucking epic

[calaverx11]

That was just fucking awesome. No two ways about it.

[richythepianoman]

2:43 onwards is mint by Nobuo on the organ. What a legend

[LIL2511]

They all look really down =[

[Kurokikaze01]

Definitely like this version better than the one on the album. Mind has been blown.

[richythepianoman]

PURE EPICNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D I love Nobuo

[jakeyjazz1223]

永遠の闇だーｗ

懐かしいｗ

[ichigovssora]

Best. Boss theme. Ever. Tops OWA and DM! If only Necron were an actual character in the game, and not some last-minute plothole-ish thing.

[Denji2006]

I know! Everything was great about FF9 until.."Huh? Am I in heaven or hell?" lol

[DesertEagle97531]

Thank you for posting these vids! I am amazed at how well they sound here. I have their first 2 DVDs, and this show is by far their best. Grand Cross has always been one of my favorite pieces by Uematsu (FF9 also happens to be my favorite game of all time.) God, I must have this DVD! Thank you again for posting these!

[Link504]

Wow....this has to be the most epic.

[Cyanakrli]

i compleatly disagree with you i killed sephiroth (all forms) in one attack. each and if you want a real chelenge *doesn't know how it's spelled* you schould try FF-5 (gba-version) in this game you should try to kill: Shinryu, Omega, Neo-Shinryu and Omega MK-2 (those are the strongest FF-Bosses i'v ever seen)

i played: 1, 2(not finished), 4(not finished), 5,6(not finished), 7, 8(not finished), 9, 10(not finished), and 10-2(not finished)

[EylkWroth]

how have you not finished FF 10 it was the best of all the Final Fantasy. I played it four times through

[Cyanakrli]

@EylkWroth

well its realy simple to explain:

i don't own a ps2

[Denji2006]

All opinion my friend. I thought 6, 8 and 9 were the best ones :P

[mintyfreshsage]

You should finish 6. It's VERY worth it.

[Algamest]

@Cyanakrli I managed to beat Omega, Omega MKII and Shinryu, never did Shinryu cos frankly it's a beast XD

[Planetwatts]

This is f***ing OUTSTANDING! Mages! Mages! Mages!

Kawamori definitely in my top 3 bassists

[Sephiroth1646]

I like the live version better than the album version, the guitars come through a lot better.

[cloudscreamer]

Okamiya for the win!!!

[cloudscreamer]

... Do they memorize everything?

[Sephiroth1646]

Yep lol

[cloudscreamer]

Eh? They perform complicated arrangements of the songs... Where do they hide their music sheets?! LOL

[SamFisherCell]

Necron was a pain in the ass lol

Awesome performance :D

[ApollwnEL]

Yes :P The final boss on ff IX... Necron.

I think that Necron is the devil...

[arxaden]

Necron is the envoy of the Nothing.

[mayorde18]

lol... did you fight Ozma?? xD

[gibson22varcelone]

LOL! Uemetsu looks like a freakin' wizard! I love it! :D

[littlenorbert]

Wow, Okamiya has a little Peter Frampton in him.

[Omniface]

Epic win

[didouneto]
