Final Fantasy IX Eternal Harvest

[CeleryMan3]

I would format my brain to experience this game for the first time again.

[AdrianWindragon]

This was my favorite scene in the game. I always enjoyed watching it

[RikkuTaylor]

My Mind has been blown when I discovered that one of the worlds most famous riverdancers is named Michael Flatley.... I see a connection there ;)

[Smetman]

@RikkuTaylor I never realised! :O

[Xbalanque84]

@RikkuTaylor MIND = BLOWN

[ZidaneViviBahamut]

never have a girl over if your playing this part of the game....

[mzmudcat]

@ZidaneViviBahamut Not unless she's AWESOME.

[ZidaneViviBahamut]

@mzmudcat this is also true xD

[TheSkorpio19300]

This is a good dance maybe , they'ra godd dancers for rats

[TheSkorpio19300]

POur sur cette danse gere elles danse bien ces fille meme si se ne sont que des rats ^^

[13AxelRoxas]

ah fuck the Harp Broke and Beatrix is coming everyone Build your Coffin Now.

[Madaquest]

I still don't know why this is my moment in the entire game...

[13AxelRoxas]

FF9 is a game i can relate to because of what happened 2 freya happened 2 me 2 my best friend forgot me but i remembered him so clearly i wanted 2 talk 2 him just never plucked up the courage to talk 2 him v_v i regret it........

[SDFGReturns]

Is it me, or is there a similar song somewhere in FF12? Kinda like...a remix...something.

[yaoiXlife]

I would love to see this dance in CGI

[keyblade8]

when i first saw this i was just like

what

why

can i get out of this

[roshidon]

The strings snapped from all that awesomness

[ForgottenMemoriesSou]

@roshidon LIES!!!! THEY SNAPED BECAUSE IT'S AN OMEN!!!!! GET YOUR STORY STRAIGHT BUDDY!!!! I BET YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED MUCH OF THIS GAME I'M SO EPIC AT THIS GAME!!!!!!! lol jk yes........ they snapped at epic ness

[kyore28]

beautiful :]

[kirakira01]

i don't get how the quality isn't as bad as i remember it was...

the graphics look pretty good! i might actually go bak to this game again. thank you

[Leviathan129]

I want this version! I have the piano one, but the harp at the begining, it makes it sound gourgeous! magnificent!

[ZilkenianDagger]

@Leviathan129 Look for the OST of the game. This song is in the second disc.

[Is33kANIME]

I just beat this part! I really wanted to watch it all the time because freya is my favorite character! :3

[plastichasmemory]

the music is slower than the soundtrack version

[alvin4351]

remind me of...pirates and i dont know WHY!!!

[karle3434]

J'en pleure presque tellement l'émotion est forte ... Éternellement nostalgique de cette magie

[ForgottenMemoriesSou]

I had this game out and I was telling my friend how awesome it is since he didn't know what the hell Final Fantasy was... Well, I saved it just before this part and went to go see the scene and after, he looked at me and said "The fuck kind of games do you play?"

[smzig]

I was glad to see the Cleyran's wiped out... I hate rats.

[ZilkenianDagger]

@smzig They aren't rats XDD They are some kind of dragons. Kuja just call them rats.

[IsomP0P]

Freya's the first final fantasy character I'd want watching my back in a fight. She's not ridiculously overpowered like Cloud, not as sullen as Leon, but hey she can dance and fight... wait, Leon can dance and cloud can... crap....

[BritishSnail]

Haha, I really don't understand video games nor this, but it's a very delightful video. Thank you for sharing :-).

[BlueLionhart]

So it really wasnt a dream...

[FantasygirlIX]

Click on FantasygirlIX if you want to hear Final fantasy and KH influenced musics by moii. i'd really truly appreciate it

[seminolePP]

If you can get pass the pink monkey destroy mode and his thong wearing evil half brother, FF9 is actually a fairly enjoyable game. It was a nice breath of fresh air when the 'classic' medieval fantasy world gets reintroduced in FF. I remembered I was thoroughly impressed with the city/town designs when i first played. Freya is one of my favourite FF character.

[ceddeus]

Get better strings.

[royokihokage]

Freyja breakdance !!!!!

[PXLightXD]

the strings have snapped...

-_-

[FF23BG]

c'est de la poésie ce jeu

[RadicalDreamer17]

This scene is awesome ! I mean, I don't remember other dancing scenes with those kind of graphics. Sure, it would be better with full CG... but come on...

Oh and the music owns !

[Universum]

Whee. I prefer the PAL version to the NTSC, I like the slower pace.

[LUNCHBOX762X39]

river dance!!! i want to see stiner and vivi do this dance! or evin the queen!! that would make me very happy! ^_^

[bloodfoxxx]

No, not the queen, Freya, and princess Dagger

[haroon1201]

reminds of the dancing the chocobos do in ff7

[NinjaGirlFromWutai]

i like this scene :D and the music is great too XD

[Vexlulz]

Gee this is so silly

[rbi13]

i very like this :) !!!!!

[AceRyonik]

Aaaaand now we know why I no longer play video games when other people are around.

[Vexlulz]

Oh jesus seriously. Man i'd be ashamed if people saw me playing this 3:

[Dokagero]

shut the fuck up, this is just one scene from the game, the rest is super

[Vexlulz]

Well gee you took that rather personally

[Smetman]

Hehe, it's pretty weird, yeh, but still... ^^ It's great!

[itachy963]

@AceRyonik lmao exactly what i think

[MrMlb2010]

@AceRyonik im like that lol

[Trashidy]

@AceRyonik Pfffh, that little self-confidence, hu? =)

[Yasmine964]

What disc is this on?

yeah, Freya is AWESOME!!!

[starfox416]

early in disc 2 after dagger get's captured

[Yasmine964]

ok, thanks! i just got on disc 2

[AmarantFFO]

Freija y Amarant, Perfect team

[rugal99]

COOl!!! freya's my favorite character from final fantasy 9

[punkiestpunk]

every time i play this part i think of happy feet

[Shintroy]

HAPPY FEET!

WOMBO COMBO!

[maninband]

This song is so cool! One of my favourits in Final fantasy 9

[vaan56lopez]

jajajjaaj cool ^.^

[xxxMCRnUSEDroxsoxxx]

Freya dance so cool. i like her very much.

[Smetman]

Yeah, it's really cool ^^ Goosebumps all over my body when I saw this on my first playthrough :)

[MoreLittleFishies]

@Smetman I know what you mean, I still get goosebumps when I see it, and I've completed the game more times than I can remember.

[NeoArashi]

@Smetman Same here, man, same here. Too bad Freya has very little importance past that point. She's among my favourite chaarcters

[TheArchuletaFansite]

Ooh my friend can play Eternal Harvest on the piano =]

[Smetman]

That's very cool! :O

I love this song! ^^

[youknowme717]

i think ff IX had the best music out of all the ff series. "Not alone" was great and this are my favorite two

[XSISDRAKEN]

cluck that dough yo, im a chocobo.

[dreamtraveler1313]

Kweh??

[XSISDRAKEN]

you beter have found something good... ar we on the plains or the cove cave?

[dreamtraveler1313]

Kwehkwekwokwehkweh!!! XD lol

[Balth3465]

KUUPOO!!!!! ^^

[Smetman]

xD!

[Yasmine964]

lol...the dance is so cute

[Guamerican325]

Need to learn this dance xD

[firebamz]

lol~!

[VincentTheDarkness]

looks like this ... oh damn hows it called?

scottish Sword-dance :b something this way

sry i don't know the Name :(

[gomeznl]

do you mean river dance?

[LilDemona]

@Guamerican325

Me too, it's kinda like the river dance don't you think?

[LordQualtzer]

Freya should be wearing a dress too.

It just makes her stand out, badly.

[ZidaneLionheart]

Her red cover is sorta like a dress, hides her armor. Maybe that's just me but idk.

[msunami]

It reminds me of Irish dancing, but brilliant all the same!

[yaoiXlife]

i wonder how this would have looked like if they made this scene in movie form? it would look sick

[flamedemon2]

i tried dancing along not pretty lol

this song is on my gaia page lol

[kingsage18]

this is weird people are calling her clerya but in my game they call her freya is there just a different name in another region

[Smetman]

Cleyra is the 'town' as you may call it... The tree is named Cleyra... The character her name is Freya, indeed :)

[kingsage18]

oooh right yeah its been awhile since I played it

[19Iggy96]

My favourite scene in the game :)

[kujasbride230]

I loved this scene, but it always makes me depressed when I think about what happened to poor Cleyra! XD Anyhow, thanks for uploading, I 'ppreciate it! :D :D

[Smetman]

Yeah!

It's a shame about Cleyra... The city was so wonderful! And the Beatrix encounter was kickass! xD

The upload was my pleasure ^^

[Access2307]

I just loved this scene, it was amazing (but still when I first saw it while i played the game, I thought the ending sucked ;-) ).

[kei2h]

nice graphics but is it just me or is it a bit slow?

[Smetman]

You're right :) My mate shouted on TeamSpeak in the real video, and the sound wasn't very clear either, so I put the song from the OST on the video. It was a little bit slower, so I had to slow down the video to match it up :)

[Frusco1324]

how you get that amazing graphics?

[Smetman]

I'm sorry, but what exactly do you mean? :D

PlayStation games only have one graphic settings, don't they? :)

If you mean the corny edges, I suppose it's because it was recorded at 1024x768 (a normal tv is 800x600) and it's downscaled as well to youtube sizes :) I guess that makes the graphics 'prettier'

[Arkfeller]

But yes, I must agree that the ending fights were not what it was worked up for. However, it did tie up loose ends very well.

Oh, did I forget about Zidane?

His awesome and adorable dedication to friends is just like Vivi's quest. He never forgets about them, e.g. loyal.

In short, the whole game was just more easier to sink into, with interesting characters, a touching storyline - with emotional moments - and some very well pulled off graphics *for this game*.

And yes, I am over 12.

[Smetman]

I am really amazed at the length of your comment. Also, I do appreciate other people's opinions, and the person(s) who vote - on your comments are probably just VII fanboys :P (Sorry ^^)

Yet, I still can't decide which FF game I like best, VII or IX.

It's true what you're saying, IX goes deeper in on a philosophical (spelling?) storyline.

To me, FF brings new storyline, characters, spells, abilites, changes in gameplay, each game.

[Arkfeller]

Good man. At least there are a few people who know IX isn't the piece of crap some VII fanboys say it is.

:)

Thank you.

[Arkfeller]

Main characters unlikeable? What the hell? Vivi was probably the most likeable Black Mage ever to appear in Final Fantasy. When I said 'deep' I meant that the game actually went into the whole 'what is it like to live' kind of thing - something Vivi was wondering all his life and the rest of the main characters helped him answer. With VII all you had was a bunch of people chasing after Sephiroth. No emotion at all.

[Arkfeller]

The graphics in IX were meant to be cartoony, as a departure from the futuristic realism of VII/VIII and a nice return to the 'medieval' type fantasies fought with swords and lances, not huge clumsy Buster Swords and Gunblades.

The cardboard characters were not great, admittedly, but IMO it just gave the game that kind of 'fantasy' look. It's a tad hard to pull it off with the 3D models for VII, since, after all, the developers aimed for that more... childish... look.

[Arkfeller]

IX's story was not weak. It was actually really well told, compared to VII's, which tended to jump all over the place. It went from present... to a few years ago... to present... to 2000 years ago. It's hard to keep track of everything that goes on in VII because you kind of drowned on the first disc. Then it's the 2nd disc and you start liking it. Lost that on the 3rd disc, and what's the ending? Sephiroth doesn't do anything worth it at the end of countless hours gathering materia.

[zUchihaCloudz]

=D I loved this part, I heard teh song and I was ecstatic when I finally reached this cutscene...

[NinjaGhostScorpion]

Riverdance and Lord of the Dance were all the rage during this game's release.

[ultimatehunterx]

NO! Don't show me this vid! It'll make me wanna go play it again. And i've beaten it 5 times already! Nooo Nooo...I won't ...*Pops FF9 disc one in ps2* ( My fav FF ever)

[CeresFantasy]

mine too^^teh story, the characters, the music....all things such rule^^for me, there is no better final fantasy game x3

[kuja1900]

FFIX the best game

[Dominoblox]

This game is amazing. =) I liked it so much more than any of the other games, but they were all truly wonderful games. (I've played 2, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10) This one holds a special place in my heart, however. It was the first game (other than Zelda: OoT) that actually made me cry.

[mokono80]

i lOve tHe daNce... i tHiNk iT wAs iNsPiReD bY tHe iRiSh dAnCe... :)

[Archedgar]

FF7 was great, 8 was terrible 9 was acceptable.

I know Zidane and I know this melody.

FF9 was not that great because of the poor storyline and cardboard characters, considering that most of the storyline revolves around Zidane trying to laid... as opposed to Cloud or for example, Ramza, actually DOING something.

FF9 was respectable, better than the previous, but definitely not one of the better FF;s.

[Zanmatsuken]

what are you talking about FF8/9 were awsome. I admit that they weren't as good a 7 but still.

[Archedgar]

Actually 8 was a major failure for the FF franchise.

Only the EXTREMELY young people who didn't play previous final fantasy games and other RPG's can't see the very low quality that FF8 has.

FF9 was an improvement, but again, it's really nowhere near as good as FF7 or FF3 or FF tactics. It was, adequate.

[Gutted94]

What's wrong with 8? It might have the best soundtrack of the PSX games.

[Dominoblox]

What are you talking about. Nine had absolutely nothing to do with Zidane trying to get laid. You're a disgrace to any Final Fantasy fan. If you haven't noticed, they're made by the same company. It's not about 'which game is better.' They're all great games. No need to compete. And get your head out of your ass and actually play this game. It's about self-acknowledgment and learning to figure out who one is more than anything else.

[Archedgar]

The game was pretty garbage, any competent player, nay, any competent person knows that the difference in quality between 6-7 and 9 is huge.

[FroLogic]

You're out of your mind. 9 is one of the best.

[Arkfeller]

I positively hated VII, which I played after IX. It was just so hard to get into VII's storyline.

Anyway, all VII fans shout over all the time is... Sephiroth. Essentially all VII is about is Sephiroth, Cloud, and more Sephiroth.

[Arkfeller]

And about your comment down there about Kuja...

1. Who cares if he looked like a girl? Do all villains have to look the same?

2. As long as we know where he came from, and what he's after, that's good.

3. Too much Sephiroth in that. This is where IX's story really gets to you. It's more complicated and deeper than VII's or VIII's.

[Archedgar]

Complicated and deeper? it was pointless.

The supporting cast, with the possible exception of Freya, were EXTREMELY weak, the main characters were very unlikeable and the plot was a mess.

Yes, the game was an improvement over the abysmal FF8, BUT, it was nowhere near the quality of 6 or 7.

I blame the cartoony graphics, cardboard characters, weak storyline and terrible ending fights.

If you're over 12 , you will understand what I mean.

[Arkfeller]

VI I have no problem with. But VII was just disappointing in the face of all the bloated praising.

The whole cast of VII was just bad. You had no idea where your allies came from. Then BOOM, Aerith jumps into your face. BOOM, Sephiroth comes along and conspires to send a Meteor along. It's almost impossible to figure the Cloud's past first time around - you have someone called Zack and that took the whole of Crisis Core to explain. And even then there are blanks you have to fill up yourself.

[Kyrelu]

@Archedgar Just face it, 7 was shit coming directly from the anus. Worst Final Fantasy I played.

9 is a masterpiece and 6 is overrated.

[rgur90x]

@Kyrelu i think people just kinda love 7 because it was the first 3d one. which i dont understand. its really hard for me to comprehend whats so great about that one. i stopped playing somewhere at cd 1 because it was so utterly unpleasant so i cant tell lol

[Astrailas]

ROFL! You say Cardboard characters and you think FF7 was great? Cloud was like a puppet, KILL KILL LOL I HAS POWER KILL. And the other characters just made it worse.

[Archedgar]

Quality, characters, storyline, etc. are just some of the reasons why FF7 became legendary and FF9 faded into obscurity... quod erat demonstrandum.

[zUchihaCloudz]

FF7 is good, but the only reason it's 'legendary' is because it's overrated. Then Square decided to make a movie...and another game..or two...but in all honesty, I say the FF9 story line was richer. FF7 was just a extended version of 'I must kill (person)' in which this case is Sephiroth. The only part where the goal ISN'T to kill Sephy is in the intro area...FF9, you have no idea who the final boss would be unless you already played or read a guide or something.

[Archedgar]

You realize that "NOT" showing the end boss is a huge and classic RPG mistake.

It is frowned upon by educated and experienced RPG gamers ever since Kefka took the world by storm with his extremely charismatic behavior... well to most people.

Kuja was a pretty terrible character, I didn't know he was a man until past the middle of the game. He had barely any screen time and no motivation other than "Just because".

FF9 was alright , WAY better than 8, but still nowhere near as 7 or 6.

[xXDemyxXx]

Kuja is way better than Sephiroth! He was a way better villain. He destroyed a whole freaking world just because he was going to die. And, Zidane is a way better hero. He has character, he laughs, he plays around, but he also has hard moments. Cloud is just an emo guy with a really spiky blond hair-do and a bigass sword.

[Archedgar]

I wonder if the people arguing in favor of FF9 have played other RPGs let alone final fantasy.

Anyway, Zidane's motivation for most of the game was basically "I want to get laid"which is fine in RL,except, you're in a fantasy world and you are supposed to be some kind of hero.

Kuja was not a good villain, look up any greatest villains ever list, you'll never find Kuja.

1- He looked like a girl

2- He had too little screentime

3- He was never really established as a badass/hyper evil character

[Zanmatsuken]

FF9 may not have the best storyline but defibatly the best music of all FF's

[Smetman]

So true, the music is wonderful! I can't really say I liked the music in 7 or 9 better though... (Only played 7 and 9 *shame on me*)

[ihatetrees]

wow thanks for making this video. I didn't know that this was the part in FFIX where the song was played.

[xXDemyxXx]

I love this, the music in this game is excellent.

It amazes me how excellently they can conduct songs...

[Smetman]

I totally have to agree with you. Some of the Final Fantasy games give me goosebumps everytime I hear one of the songs... This is one of them :D

[xXDemyxXx]

I know, right?

-sigh-

It's depressing though, an excellent game like Final Fantasy IX is always pushed aside.

Everyone knows Cloud and Squall because they're the hot anti-social super buff guys, so few people know about Zidane...

[Smetman]

I liked FFVII, but not as much as FFIX. Never got to play FFVIII though, don't know why...

I so want to try out FFX, XII and XIII. Can't be bothered to buy a PS2/3 to be honest :(

[xXDemyxXx]

FFXII is okay, but I still like FFIX better.

[stephanneke]

woooo this vis ownrd nice job smetsman

[SugarKat]

thanks for uploading! :3 I really enjoy the video!

[Smetman]

you're very welcome =)
