Saddest SNES Music #1 - Final Fantasy VI - Aria De Mezzo Carattere

[TheBatmanSoars]

@DinoRave888 I think a lot of this song sounds like pieces of the FFVII overworld theme and some of Aerith's theme. But better.

[wizardlyTKO]

@Ronstuu just reading your comment made me cry while listening to this song.. :(

[Ronstuu]

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhh I have to disagree. I think the dark world map theme gave a sense of despair. The world is pretty much destroyed and Kefka won. You walk out to the over world realizing you lost pretty much everyone. Life seems to be inhabitable due to the fact everything around you is in ruin. It's a catastrophe and with that song I think that can bring up the greatest feeling of sadness and despair.

[gsonic55]

JRPG: The greatest genre ever.

[LinguistTroubadour]

ToP was for the SNES, it's actually the orginal, the playstation one is a remake.

[azal8521]

is it just me or does the very beggining sound like aeriths theme O.o

[DNBalger]

@azal8521 i thought i was the only one that heard that for this song/celes theme. glad to know someone else hears it too.

[ranma3656]

@azal8521 aeriths theme is based off this :)

[sharkmaster99]

@azal8521 I think you mean Aerith's theme sounds like the very beginning of this. ; )

[philthekeese]

@sharkmaster99 no he meant what he said considering this one came out three years before you know 6 comes before 7...

[sharkmaster99]

@philthekeese *facepalm*

[philthekeese]

@sharkmaster99 "block" "twist arm" stab in the face" little bitch...

[sharkmaster99]

@philthekeese Why would you block my facepalm to my own face? Silly rabbit! Tricks are for kids!

[philthekeese]

@sharkmaster99 whoops my apologies

[sharkmaster99]

@philthekeese = D

[Safros9]

I'm the darkness, you're the stars.

Our love is brighter than the sun~

[craftmatic2]

My God I wish they could get rid of that MIDI voice ruining it and replace it with an actual girl singing.

It hurts to hear the MIDI....

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggghhhh­.

Worst music in the entire game when it should have been among the best.

[dissident93]

@craftmatic2 Well, the SNES wasn't capable of that. Even if it was, the result might have been even worse quality than this. Just go look up some remixes and modern arrangements of this.

[xanatose]

The music from the Opera Scene. 

[Mayakanai65]

@DinoRave888 you mean Aerith's theme sounds like the beginning of this song. Because this song came first.

[kainemaxwell]

I wouldn't exactly call the Opera scene sad...

[Johnrl21]

This is the saddest? I mean, it's up there....but no way this is above the Celes theme from FFVI imo

[Silverain7]

ToP never made it to the SNES, only the S Famicom. Close enough I suppose, but back then all we wanted was the SNES version. But obtaining a SF and the cart, is close enough.

[ilovefirewood]

I think this is definetly top 5, but I think Rachel's song is the saddest.

[coyote3434]

i never ever would have classified this song as sad, the "stupid" singing ruins it for me. Im a huge Nobuo Uematsu fan, but this particular song (in original format) isnt sad. The orchestrated version is fantastic, but celes's them is more sad than this.

[KnaRRaN1989]

Tales of Phantasia - Emotions Lost in time, should be here

I link it take care

watch?v=CwTVqsvuCuM

[TheSnesMusic]

@KnaRRaN1989 if only ToP was for the SNES... ;s

[KnaRRaN1989]

@TheSnesMusic , sure it was never released in America neither in Europe, but thankfully somebody translated so we can play that awesome game on emulator ! but when i think about it again maybe it shouldnt been on First place at least 2-5 somewhere =)

[Dincu]

It is!

It just never came out on the US, but the original one is for SNES.

[kralle333]

@TheSnesMusic It is :/

[ericsigil]

@TheSnesMusic ToP was originaly released for SNES, only later PSX got the remake.

[bobaneko]

@TheSnesMusic well there a tales of phantasia snes version but it was way diff well actualy know only the character where different

[dragoonkain2k5]

@TheSnesMusic it was

[dragoonkain2k5]

@TheSnesMusic it was. and later ported to GBA.

[Ryuuusa]

@TheSnesMusic Wow...ToP WAS made for the snes first for your information...Damn man -.-...dint release abroad japan cos Playstation was high around that time .

[brocklock09]

@TheSnesMusic .....ToP WAS for the SNES.

[vurtualboy]

@TheSnesMusic congrats, for someone named "TheSnesMusic" you don't hav every much knowledge of snes games if you say ToP isn't a SNES game

[Fedorchik1536]

@TheSnesMusic

ToP IS SNES

Even Wikipedia knows it

[Fedorchik1536]

@TheSnesMusic

ToP IS SNES

Even Wikipedia knows it

[DragonOfStorm1987]

@TheSnesMusic well... ToP is actually for the SNES... used to play it awefully often. Loved the challenge in this game since it wasnt that easy after a certain point anymore.

[Galuldan]

@TheSnesMusic it is, just fan subbed from japans snes, can find romf or it for zsnes

[Masterofmind999]

@TheSnesMusic Umm TOP is for the SNES

[swordinademonskull]

@TheSnesMusic It is on SNES, just not in USA.

[NY1love]

@swordinademonskull The SNES is only in Western Culture. He would have to change his name to TheSuperFamiconMusic. And according to this: "Tales of Phantasia was the first Super Famicom game to be 48MBit in size, and was also the first to feature streamed audio voices, made possible by sound programmer Hiroya Hatsushiba." It has an unfair advantage in cartridge size.

[Zalibidas]

@TheSnesMusic ToP IS on the SNES lol. It was released on SNES, PSX, and GBA. You can emulate it, buy it on a repro cart, or get a flash cart like the SNES Powerpak. Personally, I can't stand emulation, and don't wanna shell out the coin. So I bought an SNES Powerpak. =D

[kalengow]

@TheSnesMusic it isn't?

[angeldj84]

Aerith's theme is a blatant rip off of this song and I will go to my death bed saying this song is infinitely better. Disc 1 ending be damned.

[marcenzo9795]

I miss kirby super star metaknight ending on your list!

[punny256]

Aerith's theme is much sadder than this....

too bad this is only SNES :p

[waradvantage1]

@punny256

I lol'd when Aries died, now let's stop talking about FFVII, this video's about FFVI, appreciate the superior game for once.

[suikino]

Só n chorei na primeira cena com essa music pq teve um clima cômico depois dele.

Mas quando a Celes se joga do penhasco na ilha depois do mundo ser modificado eu chorei.. T____T

[XCM666]

Thank you for your superb lists of SNES music. This was simply the time when music in games really sounded like game music and delivered the atmosphere.

That is one of the reasons why the SNES is so amazing.

I thought you did a great job with your lists and chose wisely. Of course you are always going to get criticism, 'cause everybody experiences games and their music differently.

Here's my two cents: I'm really missing music from Terranigma, particularly on this list. Like "Elle's Theme"

[XCM666]

@XCM666

just saw that "sealed" from terranigma is in there *thumbsup*

okay my bad :D

should be better ranked though ;-)

[GenoCheese]

Almost sounds like an early version of Aerith's theme from Final Fantasy VII.
