The Black Mages - 05 The Decisive Battle (FFVI)

[Zenddrex]

Final Fantasy VI has the best battle music, and the Black Mages made it better!

[EuryBartleby]

@Zenddrex I'm a huge fan of brutal, nothing held back metal, but I gotta admit that this hard rock rendition is what Decisive Battle should have been from the start. (If Usmatsu had the means to produce it this way on the SNES! Lol.) The Black Mages just captured the FF6 spirit perfectly with this performance. IMO, of course.

[WarsPainter]

WE ARE IN TEARS HAPPY!!!!!!!!!!

[sepheroth696]

also ff7 seven is the only one where the end part of the game was pointless. after aries died she summoned the life stream (holy) and the end would have happened no matter what the outcome was....

[Leokaiser]

@sepheroth696 Cloud and Co needed to take out Sephiroth for Holy to take effect,since his consciousness was merged with the lifestream... or some jazz like that.

[sepheroth696]

@Leokaiser the whole thing with him dissolving into the lifestream is from advent children.

[Leokaiser]

@sepheroth696 True, but his physical form was encased in materia at the largest wound in the planet, and he entered the Lifestream in a similar manner to Cloud when he fell into the Mako reactor; it's been a quite some time since I played through, but I seem to recall that being the implication.

Regardless, Sephiroth holds Holy back while he still lives. This is explained in the sequence where you take Bugenhagen to the City of the Ancients.

[sepheroth696]

why is there a war between ff6 and ff7? every vid of both games has this argument on it where people bash both of the games... I personally love Kefka but he was almost mindless and childish, Sephiroth on the other hand didn't really want to destroy the world he wanted to go to the promised land. the music for both was amazing although "those chosen by the planet" is still my fav song from the ff series.

[xSeRosiSx]

@sepheroth696

So Sephiroth summoning Meteor to destroy the planet was not a sign that he wanted to destroy the planet?

[AaronSOLDIER]

@xSeRosiSx He wanted to damage the planet, not destroy it.

[Pyro25100]

Intro = godly.

[180223]

"Life...Dreams...Hope...Where do they come from? And where do they go? None of that junk is enough to fulfill your hearts! Destruction...Destruction is what makes life worth living! Destroy! Destroy! Destroy! Let's destroy everything!" - Kefka FF6

[Limousine4832]

The first Black mages song i listened to one word describe the 4:01 length of this song: Epic.

[GatsuKS]

One of the best instrumentals I've heard in my life.

[Schwartzdying]

2 people didn't steal a ribbon to ultima weapon

[Lv99Kite]

the rock version of this song fits well, the other one the black mages did for the normal battle theme is ok but i still like the original better.

[vidgwatcher]

This could somehow fit for a dynasty warriors song.

[Clouder90]

This is Greetings from Japan with a Vengeance! This piece blew up my speakers!!!

[ozenky]

Master piece

[GeorgeDuroy75]

oh my god this song is so awesome!

[cooliovasquez]

these guys should cover megaman/megaman x songs too

[justa16thnote]

@cooliovasquez They've disbanded.

[Deniedfate]

@justa16thnote nnnoooo!!!!!!!!!

[Xaklyth]

@cooliovasquez i know its not the same thing, but listen to protomen if you havent

[darkharukaex]

I Don't Believe , two people dislike this wtf =o???????

[czelsior]

the S.S.H. version is better

[RobTheJungleRat]

The intro to this reminds me of Achilles Last Stand by Led Zeplin

[tosspot86]

Oh Uematsu, now you're just showing off

[ThomasakaDes]

Think it`s possible to get the game on the PS Store, but with my luck it`s probably PSP only compatible, which is retarded since they were on PS1 and PS2 :P

[AaronSOLDIER]

@ThomasakaDes Its compatible with PS3/PSP I bought it off PS Store - pretty much all the PS1 classics on there are PS3/PSP I think theres about 1 or 2 that are PS3 only.

[SolMasterzzz]

@AaronSOLDIER Are you sure the PS1 classics are compatible for PSP? I have a PSP, but I don't have a PSP, and I've always wanted to play FFVII, VIII and IX. It would be great if I could buy them off PS Store.

On a side note, for the fanboys, me wanting to play FFVII has nothing to do with Sephiroth. All villains are good in their own way, and Kefka is one of my favourites, but will IMO never outrank The Emperor.

[AaronSOLDIER]

@SolMasterzzz I've played them all on the PS3 off the Store. I'd recommend downloading Media Go to your PC to download VII, VIII and IX though because downloading on PSP is VERY slow, the battery will probably die before its done. I always download on PS3 then transfer to PSP, but Media Go allows you to download them to PC then transfer to PSP.

[SlapphePikkur]

@ThomasakaDes

Just get an emulator. If you bought it once, you have the legal right to the game! :D

[ThomasakaDes]

@SlapphePikkur I`ve only bought FFVII(PS store version), Dirge of Cerberus(PS2), XII, XIII and will buy XIII-2 next month.

Didn`t like VII, the graphics was too argh shitty, wanted to strangle it, so after I changed PS3s I haven`t bothered to install it again :P

So I will deffinitly not bother with VI.

[SlapphePikkur]

@ThomasakaDes

Ok, listen: VII was one of the first PS1-games ever, that the graphics were "argh" is not a good excuse... I loved it, and I started/finished it in less than a month ago. Fantastic game. VIII is even better in my eyes, though.

VI has better graphics than VII, I'd say. It was late in the SNES-era, and the console was maxed.

[ThomasakaDes]

@SlapphePikkur Yeye, when the graphics is so bad that they hurt my eyes, it`s a good enough reason to dislike it.

And I`m not joking, my eyes did hurt after sometime playing it.

[HannahLover138]

The first ten seconds remind me of a Santana song with synth.

Then it hits you. BAM. Metal.

[TrueMetalForLIFE666]

@HannahLover138 Homo geek is homo.

[akedibo]

@HannahLover138 Santana.

100%

[shane71998]

A true Final Fantasy Fan wouldn't bash anything about Final Fantasy... *headdesk*

[kireehtder]

@shane71998 .... what about final fantasy x-2???? lol but i get your meaning

[itsregal]

Kefka Successfully destroyed and ruled the world. There is no arguing about it.

[Bundyrumowns]

@itsregal Who's argueing about that?

[Ramizani]

lol i still love listening this when im playing on Dysnasty warriors, i know this isnt related but i just love this theme too much XD, has that hack and slash element on it imo

[frostking17]

i love this theme :) the best boss theme in final fantasy

[Clickykid]

@frostking17 it's either this or force your way

[MSAnemanja2]

is this the song that plays when you fight ATMA/Ultima wepon or is it just a standard boss fight theme can't remember been so much since i played the game

[DeisonAshMIrKhazan]

i love this song!!

[blazecatzero]

u all should know, I'm working on a remake of an RPG I made a while back, this could be the boss theme.

[TearBlade]

Hah bull about the villain!

The best FF badguy is Emperor Mateus, the ONLY villain to conquer both Heaven, Hell, AND the world!

[BenjaminGlatt]

You're all idiots, Garland is CLEARLY the best Final Fantasy villain ever.

[EndreVanan]

@BenjaminGlatt Anyone who says otherwise should prepare to be KNOCKED DOWN.

[BenjaminGlatt]

@EndreVanan I agree wholeheartedly.

[CloudStriiff]

@BenjaminGlatt Kefka would just make him wipe the sand off his shoes x)

[BenjaminGlatt]

@CloudStriiff This is false. If anyone were ever going to beat Garland it would be the Forest Imps. All that I have said is recorded fact.

[MSAnemanja2]

@BenjaminGlatt is he From Final Fantasy IX?

[BenjaminGlatt]

@MSAnemanja2 Garland? Is from Final Fantasy. The original.

[MSAnemanja2]

@BenjaminGlatt strange i thought he was the 1st boss of Final Fantasy 1

[BenjaminGlatt]

@MSAnemanja2 He is. That's what I said. You know: "the original" also means "the first" in some cases. Such as this one.

[starkilla7777]

badass remix that is all I can say =>

[DakkonDS]

you are all fools!. kefka and sephiroth are great buddies and are laughing at the stupid whos better debate. just end it. they are both equall in epicness.

[blackshadow148]

Omg Nobuo Uomatsu (horrible spelling) must be god. He turned crack into music.

[atblock041]

The first 10 seconds to this song are beautiful!

[SayaAensland]

*compares Black Mages version and S.S.H. version*

*headbangs more vigorously to the S.S.H. version*

Too bad, Black Mages, you lose this time. =(

[thelostrune]

@SayaAensland THEY'RE JUST AS GOOD, BOTH!!

[DevastationNazo]

How the omnicidal clowns did you guys start a religious... penis measuring contest made to look like debate on a rockin' FINAL FANTASY song? It takes skill to fail that badly!

[Dilan10Z]

Not to get shot on the religious topic but isn't hating and disagreeing two different things?

on that note, this is awesome. The guitar is epicness by definition

[Dilan10Z]

@Seraph821 But I dont think they're the same, I think they're different o.o...

[Seraph821]

@Dilan10Z xP Sorry, I must have misread it.

[Dilan10Z]

@Seraph821 Its fine XD

[Dilan10Z]

@Seraph821 Its fine XD. This reminds me a bit of music from Sonic Adventure 2 battle

[rubyhartlove]

Why the fuck are people arguing about Religion?

Sad.

For all the creeps arguing over religion.

STFU AND GTFO!

Or Kefka will poison your water supply.

Fucking trolls.

[killerkirbydude]

See Aku Tenshi Zero's comment. ^^^

[SinOfTheHeart]

The only God we should mention here is the God of Magic.

[AkuTenshiiZero]

Why is there a religious debate in my FFVI?

Get out. Kefka hates you all equally.

[keyblademasterx73]

@AkuTenshiiZero Well SEPHIROTH HATES KEFKA!

[holypie987]

@keyblademasterx73 Kefka Hates Everything Sephiroth loves his mom

[keyblademasterx73]

@holypie987 Eeyup

[shana7743]

@holypie987 That's why Kefka-dono is the best villain and Sephiroth-san is the worst.

[Slapmaster5000]

@shana7743 I wouldn't say he's the worst, he's definitely overrated, but yeah Kefka is the fucking best.

[DakkonDS]

@AkuTenshiiZero everyone knows flammie is the most ultimate boss that square came up with ;)

[blackymon]

The sand is all-consuming!

[galaxyguy159]

Well i don't know about the people arguing but I love this song!!

[ShadieWolf94]

@galaxyguy159 it's pretty obvious they don't have talent so they have to put down those who have greater talent because they're too buthurt that they couldn't do this

[fistofbhaal]

they seriously fucked up the intro on this song...

[Novaromamusic]

This and the version of the Four Fiends from the second album are probably my favorite Black Mages tunes. They didn't use a real drummer on this album, though, so I think Four Fiends wins out by that margin. Still a great track.

[KardinalKay]

never heard of freedom of opinion?

AWESOME song btw...

[RyuuzakiXIII]

Your mom is the garbage.

[Tshot88]

I personally think this is the best remix of this theme to date. I don't exactly like ALL of the Black Mage material, but they NAILED this one. Very good.

[Necro0000]

Garbage..!

[yack2412]

@Necro0000 go fuck ur mom sucker. Uematsu rocks!

[GatsuKS]

@Necro0000 Try to make something better than this, if you can't, then go fuckin' kill yourstupidself.

[Cajaquarius]

@Necro0000 I can sort of see why you don't like it. You may have saw black mages and thought it was satanic or death metal band. Nah, just a video game music cover.

[DreamyGhost1492]

@Cajaquarius What's wrong with Death Metal?

[HiByeYou987]

@DreamyGhost1492 it's considered satanic or evil by christians a lot of the time

[DreamyGhost1492]

@HiByeYou987 I'm a Christian and I'm in a Death Metal band right now. But I'm also involved in other music as well. I make my own DubStep. There are a lot of bands that imply bad things towards religion. But the music itself is not evil. Maybe the band members, but no the music.

[HiByeYou987]

@DreamyGhost1492 I meant by the more extreme christians who think like that most of the time

[DreamyGhost1492]

@HiByeYou987 Christians are Christians. I never understood why there are "levels" of Christianity. Either you believe in God or you don't. Yet some of them decide that anything that doesn't glorify God should be hated. God doesn't hate anything, so why should they?

[davezegr8]

@DreamyGhost1492 so in a way, christians are like Hitler ...... Hitler burnt all the books that didnt show Nazi history so with Christians hating all that isnt jesus like....... yeah they like Hitler

[DreamyGhost1492]

@davezegr8 I think you're completely missing the concept of what I just said. But that's ok. You'll understand some day.

[rubyhartlove]

@davezegr8 stfu about religion shit.

[davezegr8]

@rubyhartlove how about.... this is for commenting so i can put what i like thanks and anyone else can put what they like so sir i ask you would you kindly STFU?

[killerkirbydude]

@davezegr8

No, u.

This isn't related to the vid, and you're merely trolling anyway. Go do it elsewhere.

[davezegr8]

@killerkirbydude If i was trolling does it matter? if your so worried dont look at the comment box... but the simple fact is I wasnt trolling so... theres no problem, i dont see how someone can say 'stfu about religion' to me? when theres like 50 different comments on religion....

[rubyhartlove]

@davezegr8 Dude, your a troll, and a loser and i dont care if others are talking about religion, by the looks of things your the troll, so sftu, gtfo and get a fucking life.

This is FFVI

Not some religious shit.

[rubyhartlove]

@davezegr8 LOL stfu. 

[azgalor222]

@davezegr8 You kinda defeated your own argument. If anyone can post anything, then why are you telling someone else to STFU?

I admit that you can type whatever you like, I'm pretty sure there's no way we can stop you, but can you keep it related to the video? This is FFVI music, not some religious vlog.

[Uberado]

@DreamyGhost1492

Sir, you religious views on music is the smartest views I've ever seen. Finally, someone who understands that you can be a Christian and play Number of the Beast! :3

[DreamyGhost1492]

@Uberado Exactly ^_^. If you worship God, your faith is solid! I don't understand how people act like music is "evil". Satan is evil. Not the music :D!

[terrorlord15]

@DreamyGhost1492 there is no satan and the only evil is ignorance.

and you can have faith in many many many things but the most petty is god, your faith isnt solid because your faith is in god solid faith doesnt depend on what its on it depends on how strongly you can hope.

have faith in yourself and bear your own burdens and stop throwing them onto deities that have already giving you enough.

[DreamyGhost1492]

@terrorlord15 You know? There's a phrase that I've stayed true to my entire life: "You learn something every day."

Well, sir, you are going to learn something today.

The worst and most IGNORANT thing you can do is try and wipe out someone's beliefs. We were talking about how music affects your faith, not whether or not Satan/God exists. I absolutely cannot stand that topic because there's no beginning and no end to it ever. Not calling you ignorant, not trying to offend you, but please. Stop.

[hmongcanadian]

@DreamyGhost1492

it makes Bieber fans shit their pants. haha

[DeathDragon4000]

@Necro0000 this is the internet, no one cares about you. Not much difference than real life then, eh?

[Soundfrequency]

@Necro0000

Well if no one else, then at least I agree with you, the original game version is better.

[omnizoom]

@Necro0000

well dont u jus feel so special

[WhyDoBabiesStareAtMe]

@Necro0000 Troll on sir. Troll on

[Zenox10]

I agree this is their best song if you ask me ! <3!!

[Ifrianpsu]

This is probably one of their best tunes.
