[KoolDeep2008]

psnetwork download yayy

[FoxCuriousity]

The Blue, the Red, and the Guy-Who-Wanted-A-Raise soldiers disliked this.

[Okamilover94]

where can i download this song from? Its been years......

[huckx019]

1:13, dat bass, 1:31 shit just got real

[hidedasausage]

theirs a trick 2 the uncoupling of the train. The 1st, entering 3 sets of codes, enter into 2 of them, jump up and wait 4 the guards 2 leave, then jump back down and enter the last 1. The 2nd, entering 5 sets of codes, enter 3 of them, jump up, wait 4 the guards 2 leave then jump back down and enter the last 2

[chinoeze26]

OH... THE MEMORIES!

[cataphract333]

Finally got the game back, lol.

[cataphract333]

Huh?! The sensors aren't working!

[dacoolguy1000]

3 people are followers of NORG

[SKemaTEtusukJArum]

@dacoolguy1000 hahaXD

[TheAkiameYatsuki]

@dacoolguy1000 thats because they're the only ones that didn't complain about his giant neckmeats

[Hyacinthesis]

That damn train! LOL!

[noxot444]

I could not think of a better name for this song. it feels like it sounds.

[Infanterietrupp]

... i always hoped that the cid from ff VIII might be the cid from ff VII. Man that would be a cool parallel between those two games

the "highwind" cid who turns into a headmaster ^^.

[Gargyl666]

This soundtrack makes me a train hijacker. >:O

[hiddenbutdeadly]

"theres xu!!!!"

[Tresse666]

3 followers from NORG

[SoulHeartRS]

Zell: YO! The blue!

Selphie: And the red!

[Uberjetsu]

@SoulHeartRS The fate of the world rests in there hands...were fucked XD is what I thought at the time :P Thank fuck for Squall

[SoulHeartRS]

@Uberjetsu That's why he's the most badass FF character ever.

[Moonrunner17]

Weird thing is that little blue dress of Rinoa...she does this mission wearing THAT

[Kirnale]

the hardest part for me. Yeah i mean the train :D. Got stuck for some time as a kid hahah

[GunSmith137]

@Kirnale yeah me too ^^

[iriuz2]

They didnt fall from a train going as fast as hell, seeds are super humans.

[FlowingDepths]

@iriuz2

LOL.

[Baz87100]

2 people loved Rinoa's depiction of the president's car.

[Augurk6]

fisrt time i did the train mission i didn't knew what i had to do: well that was easy.

the second, third, fourth etc. time i did this mission. i finnaly understood what i had to do, and then it was hard as fuck. my stupid luck.

[FlanJan]

WHICH SIDE ARE YOU ON?!

[cataphract333]

Zell: Yo, The red guard!

[Residentevil31313]

@cataphract333 You mean...

Zell- "Yo! The blue!"

[cataphract333]

@Residentevil31313 I honestly don't remember. I have not played this game in forever.

Stupid Cousin, he lost the disc :(

[Residentevil31313]

@cataphract333 Awwww, that sucks.

[Telkandore]

I best remember running around Balamb Garden, and Squall being so baller throughout all of it. Everyone's in panic, Squall still has this cool, calm, collected attitude. About everything. All the time. #role-model

[chroxx90]

isn't suppose to be a comment that said "we should stick into selphie's plan... blow it to smitherness with a rocket launcher"??? or something like that in the best comments???

[lootship5]

the dundun-dundun-dundun-dundun throughout the song sounds like a train xD

[Lance241151]

QUICK, pull me up! the guard is coming!! QUICKER, DAMN YOU!!!

[SandokanPirate]

"Another one of cid's followers?"

[FortressFortuna]

@SandokanPirate Die!

[hazelXin223]

This song was played when the shumi's were at balamb, right? o wo

FIND THE HEADMASTER! Which side are you on?!

[PeechyofPeechy]

This plays in my head every time I go get my binders and textbooks out of my locker.

[dragondook]

Wait, how is laguna squalls father again? diddnt laguna just have... "sis" as squall called her (forgot the name..) with raine?

[Mijeme123g]

@dragondook Raine gave birth to Squall and it is hinted that Laguna is the father

[chroxx90]

I hope that selphie makes it to the new dissidia...

(alongside with Guy (ff2) and Shadow (ff6) )

[geostigma123]

at 1:14... How the hell did traditional-folk music fit into this... Would never think that the combination would be that good, But nobuo did it (Again)

[AVeryConcernedSheep]

@geostigma123 That's a traditional folk melody? Do you know the name? I'd like to look into it if I could.

Also, it's not entirely unwarranted. For a while it was a major tradition in Wind Orchestra music when the genre was just beginning to be taken seriously.

[geostigma123]

@AVeryConcernedSheep Coming from Norway that sounds very much like some scandinavian folk music i've heard, At least northern part of europe if not Scandi... Perhaps Irish influence too.

[paulman34340]

To me all the FF were great in their own way (yes that includes the dreaded online XI and 14, as well as XII and XIII) but the Music in each one remind me of why I view Nobou and all the other composers at SquareEnix that worked with him and came after him as some of the best in music making (Black Mages FOREVER)

[Residentevil31313]

I love how no matter what you choose, Cid or Norg, you always have to fight those enemies no matter what. XD

[Arkcyph09]

2 people got ran over by a train

[liontes]

"Cid or norg?"

[NotCareBear]

Headmaster Cid is the shiz lol

[qzchris]

the bass at 1:14 is so cool

[BladeKempMusic]

2 people disliked this song cos theyre cunts... and im one of em! (to be fair i like the song i just want banter)

[Chauncy666]

The best part of the game in my opinion.

[goldenrod666]

to Zeldarulah i alwayyys thought cid looked like robin williams.

=) i miss silva too.

[narxx00]

one of the best in all final fantasy

[MRresievil310]

@narxx00 Dont you mean, the best?

[Cloud98]

Cloud98 > Cloud183.

Hehe, jaykay.

[Devintuel]

@Cloud98 he is a newer model, with better music.

[Cloud98]

@Devintuel

Lawl.

Its weird that he hasn't been banned yet...

SilvaGunner had all FF music and more. He had over 2k videos, sucks that all the time/dedication is gone now. Hopefully it doesn't happen to his channel.

[Devintuel]

omg

this song is currently playing on my T.V. because my game froze on one of the CGI sequences during the Timber mission. ;-; currently letting the Disk Cleaner dry so I can fix it.

[Cloud98]

@Devintuel

Just letting you know, Amazon has an awesome deal on the game. $15 or less for a new sealed Greatest Hits. I got a new one just a few weeks ago.

[Devintuel]

@Cloud98 lol, I wouldn't rebuy the game for this one part. The entire rest of the game works. I just have to wait it out. I've been past this spot twice now, this is the only spot that's buggy =P

[SKFrance]

*Running since 30 minuts* WHERE THE HELL IS CID?

[Standuble]

I remember the first time I did the Timber Mission I thought "fuck this!" as Rinoa's long, drawn out explanation made it sound like Mission Impossible.

The mission turned out to be freaking easy, the first problem on the first carriage (which the game makes a big deal of) is avoided just by running across with no stopping. Completed the whole thing first time with no mistakes.

Shame it amounted to nothing, the owls didn't check to see whether he had already arrived at the station. Kids eh?

[calahoon22]

to all those wishing for a remake of FF7 and FF8 i say wait!..just a while longer cos then ps4 will come out and THEN they shud make a remake of the 2 games! it would be insane!

[Cloud98]

@calahoon22 PS4 won't be out for another 5 years dude.

Sony and probably Microsoft/Nintendo already stated that their consoles are planning to run a good decade before busting out a new gen system.

[Christoph7011]

Why do I have the astounding vision of Final Fantasy 8 characters running on a spiraling stairs that are hugging some tower...? >.>"

[sleeming88]

*Runs into Balamb Garden* "Everyone listen up! There may be Galbadian missiles heading this wa.............. errrr..... What in the blue fuck is going on here?!?...... An uprising? NOW?!?!? Of all the times for..... Oh you have GOT to be kidding me!!!"

[LingFangKou]

Perfect song for the train scene. No one could have picked a better one. Fast paced like a train, pumped up from eagerness, and ESPECIALLY GETTING SQUALL BACK UP THE TRAIN BEFORE THE GUARD COMES....

[Tigerknigt]

@LingFangKou Selphie: Red guard is comming! (ment u had to sit still i think? :P)

Zell: And blue!

then i went like.. so wtf am i suposed to do now?! RUN OR WAIT?!!

[goldenrod666]

@Tigerknigt LOL YES!! FINALLY SOMEONE ELSE WHO THOT THE SAME THING. im like well fuck what do i do? huh wat do i do?! WAT DO I DO IN THIS SITUATION????!!!!!! its like having a grenade on either side of u.

[Devintuel]

@goldenrod666 run forward? lol

[goldenrod666]

@Devintuel naw then they both blow up and u get blasted in the back. it sucks. its like having two grenades on either side of you!. . .wait. lol

[TheOriginalThought1]

8D UH-OH, HOTDOG! (MadTV)

[SquallArgonar94]

I can still hear the beeping from those damn codes....

[raepep]

I love how this music makes you hurry whilst the guards are looking theough the windows :D

[Sorrrow1984]

Love how in-game playable characters were blended smoothly with the cinematic train scenes.

[Ven01273]

1 person doesn't like hot dogs

[wariopya]

1 guy fell off the train while doing the mission and also did not swore his/her allegiance to master NORG

[911CondieOnTheLoose]

Why does this remind me of Napoleon Dynamite?

[cbell414]

"There goes next month's paycheck" poor guy.

[SMaster777]

@cbell414 Did anyone else think first time through, that that guy was Laguna, given that only the 1st dream had happened by then, and he had mentioned proposing to a girl (Julia in this case)?

[Acosta811]

@SMaster777 lol yeah I thats what I though too then I met Ellone and knew that it couldn't be him. I'm playing through it for the first time and it's AWESOME!!

[DoinkTonberry]

Ugh i hate timebased minigames. good theme tho

I had less than one minute to imput five codes. xp

[DoctorChub]

Yo Squall! The Blue! ...and the Red!

[capefeather]

"Another one of Cid's followers!? DIE!"

Over and over again...

[aimanzubir]

best part.. 1:31

[mikeerfol]

Do you swear your allegiance to Garden Master NORG?

[mikeerfol]

the train mission...

[huckx019]

1:31 aw yeahhhhh

[Shoe3003]

the drums at the end part of this song before it loops really do sound like a train chugging, very clever on nobuo's part

[Swedboy2010]

OH THIS SONG, it gave me the memories :3

At the time when you have to change trains red to blue to mega blue, and the lvl gets harder, because of the time! I failed some many times! Hironobu Sakaguchi the creator of the MOST AWESOME GAMES EVER! xDD 1987 - 2010 (not his death XD)

And then finally Nobuo Uematsu!!! who single-handedly composed the soundtracks for the first nine games, as well as directing the production of many of the albums. Music for the spin-off series. :DDD

[elfaro91]

praise the lord..this game was 9e on playstation 3 store..bought it immediatly..now i got the game

[darklunarknight]

WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU ROBIN WILLIAMS

[eigh12]

omg the games back in the day definitely ate my soul

[Rougamaru]

this reminds me of the galbadian guard who just wanted to get enough from his salary to get a ring and propose to the girl he loved over a romantic candle light dinner, but squall got his pay docked down to where he OWED money.

I always felt so sorry for the guy.

but then, in the 3rd disk, you got the chance to make up for it, and even help the guy choose the right words for his proposal. hell, selphi even sang for em.

off topic? maybe. but it IS what this song makes me think of.

[aeris34]

One person didnt pass the mission

[ViKtoRinnnnnn]

This song reminds me of the part where the garden just goes crazy and you fight in every corner with those Norg's badass friends!

[Zeldarulah]

On SilvaGunner's version of this I had like a million thumbs up for saying "I always thought Headmaster Cid looked like Robin Williams >.>" I almost miss the absurd amount of "has responded to your comment" emails I would get xD. But what I do miss is SilvaGunner's channel :'(

[Magmaking13]

@Zeldarulah Same here... what ever happened to it??? btw i remember seeing that comment :P

[Zeldarulah]

@Magmaking13 :P Well, Silva's account got taken down for copyright infringement. Makes me sad :'(

[martindaniel1985]

@Zeldarulah Haha, you're right! I used to think that as well.

[Tigerknigt]

@Zeldarulah I know the feeling. i had 264 thumbs up on my comment on the card game theme ((boogy ro shufle)i think) expressing my fustration and controller loss on the random rule :P

but suddenly it was gone. :(

[Justforvisit]

@Zeldarulah Word

[FinalFantasyLov3r124]

@Zeldarulah But he does look like Robin Williams xD You're not the only one that misses Silva :(

[DemonizedAlucard]

@FinalFantasyLov3r124 lmao i always thought cid looked like robin williams!!!

[MrKeyblademaster1992]

@FinalFantasyLov3r124 Have you ever seen Flubber? Cid looks almost exactly like Robin Williams' character in that movie. I know several people who agree, my friend Trainman666 included.

[Lanakikuta]

@MrKeyblademaster1992 Yes! OMG I've never realised about that Williams should be the actor who plays Cid XD (Sorry bad english)

[MrKeyblademaster1992]

@FinalFantasyLov3r124 I think that anyone who's seen Robin Williams and doesn't think Cid looks like him needs to get their eyes checked, don't you?

[FinalFantasyLov3r124]

@MrKeyblademaster1992 Well since I'm a Final Fantasy fan next time I see him I'm totally gonna shout "OH MY GOD HEADMASTER CID!"

[MrKeyblademaster1992]

@FinalFantasyLov3r124 HIlarious!

[MassOmega4]

@FinalFantasyLov3r124 I downloaded this the other day on PS3 and after it being years since I played it the first thing when i saw cid. "Hey look its Robin Williams" haha

[Badham94]

@Zeldarulah YES! I knew I recognised him from somewhere! :P THANK YOU! That's who I was thinking of!

[TheAlldayeveryday247]

@Zeldarulah I ALWAYS THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!!!!! IF THEY MAKE A REMAKE< HE SHOULD DEFINITELY DO THE VOICE FOR HIM! Because his voice always ran my mind when I was reading the dialog for Cid.

[indieglee261]

@Zeldarulah i hate youtube for deleting silva gunners channel. at least we have this guys channel

[DeathbeastGregar]

@Zeldarulah I actually remember seeing that. XD

[P3sc]

@Zeldarulah Hahaha, nice one :D I was so young when I played this game but I still remember I had the same thoughts as you ;)

[JonathanSilveira1978]

@Zeldarulah I know, Silvagunner had all the music for every single Final Fantasy game. Do you know what happened to him?

[Echidneys]

@Zeldarulah Holy shit... He did.

[Echidneys]

@Zeldarulah I have to comment again... Not only did he look like Robin Williams from my memory, but right after, I typed in "Headmaster Cid" just to look at him again.

The first result Google suggested was "headmaster cid robin williams"

Apparently you're not the only one who ever thought so...

[justa16thnote]

@Zeldarulah

He looks EXACTLY like Robin Williams. I thought that the instant I saw him.

Here's another e-mail. :D

[xaxawehn]

@Zeldarulah XD hey there

[Gerfodger]

@Zeldarulah Damn, I thought I was the only one that thought that.

[BagiClaymations]

@Zeldarulah In game he looks like him, in the cg cutscene during the credits he looks nothing like him, i thought i was the only one that thought that.

[vogelpatrik]

@Zeldarulah Here's ur thumbsup :D

[teqrevisited]

I still think we should've gone with Selphie's plan.

"Blow it to smithereens with a rocket launcher!"

[Rougamaru]

@teqrevisited beware the cute ones.

but yeah, it pretty much would've had the same end result, huh?

[MRresievil310]

@teqrevisited but then what will happen to the dummy if no one uses it? D:

[DigidesteinedSayian]

@teqrevisited MUCH more simple than switching train cars and decoding stuff.

[RiddleAnim]

@teqrevisited In hindsight...That would've been the best idea.

[hangemhighsaddam]

1:11 makes me always do the chicken dance!

[GoddaGo]

Love this track! You now the shit is to the balls when this music starts!

[rycor85]

hell.. I've been looking for this one.. Remembered it was somewhere when you lifted of garden.. dinnae realize it played durig the train aswell Oo

[mymurderintent]

one person failed the mission

[hangemhighsaddam]

Sux playing on PS2 w/ no memory card to replay :S

[Kelvinian]

....Hey, where'd he get that newspaper...?

[AnvilRTX]

yay train train train =D now what was the code again?

[Jadama0]

My third favorite song from FF8... Always reminds me of the train mission.

[elfaro91]

@Jadama0 train mission and balamb vs galbadia garden war

[darklunarknight]

@elfaro91 no its not the balamb vs galbadia one its the part where you have to find headmaster cid and its the garden master vs headmaster

[elfaro91]

@darklunarknight oh yeah ur right..sry got messed up..it was dollet landing song on balamb vs galbadia :)

[TheDragonNazo]

its not natural without the chugga chugga chugga....

[Residentevil31313]

oh god the train mission! yeah that mission was tons of fun!! and the music was cool!!! and I love how in the train the blue guard is walking and the red guy is like jogging behind him like WTF is that????? XD

[rnbqw057]

最初のリノアの作戦実行思い出すわ！！！！！！

[TheUnforgivingOne]

yes they really had me running around to find shit to write on a few times especially this part and it all sounded so complicated lol i was like OMFGTSIMU and the Gaurds lol i was like 3 codes in and was OMG hahaha Gotta go

[Kloo999]

holy crap the train...dont get me started I was listening to the mission briefing and am like holy shit they are fo real. I start running looking for a piece of paper righting all these stuff down. Then finally at the train I was all freaked out when I saw guard I was like Holy SHIT RUN! RUN! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jinzuka]

... i wish youtube had an auto replay feature on here

[roberttt1005]

@jinzuka yeah...

[KabutoPachinko]

@jinzuka search for endlessyoutube

[MrKarl0s]

the train never gets any easier, even after all these years since i first played this, i still freak out when i'm punching in the uncoupling codes

[epickirby]

I was freaked when I first did this...I was 10 and it sounded more complicated then it was. It took a week before I started it.

[1dexsin1]

the train mission rocks..

[FinalFantasyLov3r124]

"RUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!!"

[ballersRus]

THE TRAIN!!! lol...one of the best parts of the game

[sickoffindinganame]

how about no......its a free SeeD point, its far too easy

[ShadowPhoenix789]

@OrbitalHUB

Well done mate! Thank you. You said it exactly how it is and that is exactly how I feel as well. Those three games are each a work of art in their own right and there is no "best" one. Anyone who is so eager to order them in terms of which is best and worst really can't appreciate difference and change at all...

[R3D00d]

Works on the PS2. PS2 has full compatibility.

I still have my FF8. 4 Disks, and manual. Adored the game.

Never realised that all it took was a fucking Phoenix Down to kill the fucking guy inside the train!

[ShotGreg]

@R3D00d Rofl yeah never thought of that myself either

[OrbitalHUB]

To me Final Fantasy 7,8, and 9 are a trilogy of the best RPGs ever created.Niether one is "better" than the other, just wonderfully different.They are all top-notch,break the scale,divinely inspired,apex of art pieces.

[B1gBadNegro]

@OrbitalHUB You got that right. Dead on 7-9. They were the first and best I've played.

[Warhound8619]

@OrbitalHUB true

[snakeviper008]

@OrbitalHUB Amen to that!

[dom123435]

@OrbitalHUB your wrong 7 8 are far better i completed 9 without a guide in under 60 hours thats far to easily its still good though 8 ive used a guide and still not beat the last boss in 4 gos 7 ive beat sephiroth and the easier weapon i know nobody who has beat emerald weapon i know alot of ff 7 players aswell i would probz go 71st 8 2nd 93rd

[dss3d]

@OrbitalHUB i agree with you, but i think that Final Fantasy X should be included =)

[BL00DSTR34M]

If you listen closely enough, those little "ding" noises in the back sound exatcly like in N64 007's winter missions.
