  • i think, ff9 has the best music from all ffs

  • Final Fantasy 7,8 and 9 was the reason to buy a Playstation 1 :D beautiful memorys

  • I keep telling myself "Man up, don't be a friggin' wuss", but I just can't shut the flood gates whenever I hear this theme.

  • all my teenage years are here

  • Brain Manager: Sir, we are experiencing ultra-high levels of nostalgia. Seize your current business please, or something might happen.

    Me: No thanks.

    *explodes*

  • FFIX was my first final fantasy game and probably the best in my opinion, it was like a story straight from the Grimms' Fairy Tales, i didn't feel the same in the following parts of the series (or any other game) and i guess it never will again...where the fuck is my psone...need to play it again

  • @Kallelinski u can download it to your ps3 from the psn network.

  • @mohdban

    :'( and I want it on the xbox live

    (><) come on square enix, we got shitty 13 and we'll get shitty 13-2, so why can't you give us 6,7 or 9 ?!?

  • @injektileur A PSone exclusive produced by Sony on a Microsoft console? The only reason XIII and XIII-2 are on the 360 is because Microsoft bribed Square. XIII was and always will be a PS3 game at heart as it was made for PS3 (the 360 version for instance is on 3 discs since the DVD can't handle all of the technology). So why should IX come to Xbox Live. I respect the fact that you love the game, i do too, but it wouldn't make sense and Sony would be stupid to allow it.

  • @Xehanort4

    you've got a point here. What you need to know is : I'm not a xbox fan at all. (I had a nes, snes, saturn, PSX, PS2 gamecube before)

    But I think youre wrong when you talk about "bribery". S-E can't actually afford not porting the last FFs on the xbox (especially for the US market).

    Yet I agree XIII was meant for the PS3. And I dont know how exclusive IX would remain in sony catalogue. But please remember FFs were also originally nintendo games.

    anyways, thx for answering

  • @injektileur meh it's ur fault for switching to xbox, cuz i see no reason to go from a ps1/ps2 to xbox 360, i stayed on playstation cuz i love final fantasy, mgs, and naughty dog as a developer, but yer it's not the fact that ms bribed square i just think that midway through development they anticipated a poor reaction to ff13 so they had to release it on multiple platforms to reduce their losses as they spent 5 years developing the engine for it and making it..... cuz ffv13 is still exclusive

  • Amazing song...until you die and it starts playing... >= (

  • Man, now I want to play it.

  • Best song ever ... I play it ^^

  • I nostalgia'd. I lost.

  • When there was an actual reason to stay on the Splash screen.

  • If FFXV is medieval like FFIX then it needs to start with this song. I really want them to return to this style of FF. Hopefully it will be the FF era we'll all return to someday.

  • @natqoh I also think the character development in the game was very good in some instances, but it was quite dissapointing in other instances as I think they didn't focus enough on certain characters where they focused too much on others. Story overall was good (imo) but I can see what you mean with the mini games, I didn't bother with any that I didn't have to. Tbh I think they handled mini games a lot better in VII, with the Golden Saucer.

  • @natqoh Yes, I did, did you read mine? I said after IX was when it started to go downhill, not IX and after. As in X and onwards. I thoroughly enjoyed IX, though overall I think the main flaw was the lack of an overall villain, seeing as though the ultimate final battle is sort of just a random boss, really, who wasn't in any other point during the game.

  • @skullkid325 Necron (sp?) was incredibly lame but Kuja was an absolutely immense villian for me. His effeminacy and love of language made him very different from other FF villians and i liked that. I always think of FF 9 fondly but i enjoyed 6,7, and 8 more. The vibe to IX was a lot more upbeat than say 7 or 8 which were darker, and the romance between zidanne and 'dagger' just didnt really work. That said though, great game :-)

  • @BOSIE321 Oh, I'm not saying it wasn't a great game. I absolutely love it (prefer it I think to VIII but VI and VII are my two favorites). But anyway, no, I'm not saying I disliked the game. I think character wise they could of gone more into certain characters backgrounds (e.g. Armarant). It is much more upbeat (imo possibly to make it more suitable for a slightly younger audience) but I don't mind that to much, I really loved the story.

  • @skullkid325 Steiner to, you don't actually know anything about Steiner other than he's a guard and he ends up going for Beatrix.

    Villain wise I did not love Kuja, I thought he was just a tad...I dunno, fail, in comparison to some others (compare him to Sephiroth or Kefka e.g.) Necron I thought was just gay. Not really difficulty wise (though I had problems as I refused to bring any white mage character and relied solely on tents for healing wise)

  • @skullkid325 lol. In FFVII half the game Sephi is running away from you, the other half he's hiding out in a crater. He barely does anything in FFVII. His fanbase is, "He has white hair and a black wing and is so cool looking and has a neat boss theme".

    But Kefka is badass.

  • @ArenBlut Except he's not "running away from you" is he? You're following him and he's basically ignoring you. The first time he faces off with Cloud on the ship he doesn't even know who he is. It's not even actually him you're chasing, the real Sephiroth is frozen in Mako, which you don't find out until later on in the game.

    And yes, Kefka is a badass, though if I'm honest neither of them are my favourite villains.

  • @ArenBlut :/ Except he's not running away. You're hunting him down to try and confront him and he doesn't even really realise you are on his tail. The first time you face off with Sephiroth in the game he doesn't even realise who Cloud is. And even then you're not hunting the real Sephiroth, the real Sephiroth is still trapped in Mako in the Northern Crater.

  • @BOSIE321 (heh, almost done) Necrons kind of cool in a kind of ultimate destroyer kind of way but he has NO relevance to the story. I don't think he's even mentioned, he just kind of pops up as another boss for you to fight. It's not like Jenova in VII who is mentioned prior and impacts the story, he's just kind of...There.

  • awesome music...

  • эта мелодия меня всегда завораживала, как и сейчас....

  • must hold in tears

  • @Stinky21

    *sniff* me too :(

  • I wish it would never end...

  • can anyone tell me what the instruments of this song are?

  • Comment removed

  • @Crosell Well, they are all synthesized versions. I would be there is an oboe or two doing the harmony, and a flute or ocarina doing the melody, maybe. Very occasionally it sounds like a low flute comes in for one or two notes.

    It's very woodwind sounding to me.

  • @Crosell ocarina, but i do the song with a flute, very nice in the school.

  • May have to play this again. I played it when it came out, but after all the epics before it, I was disappointed. This may be the "lost" final fantasy, in a way.

  • @pineapplepeanuts After all the epics before it? "lost" final fantasy? In my opinion, this is the best one of the series, and is also my favorite game ever made.

  • @ExoTheMage And you'll find other FF fans saying the same thing about different ones. I was just relating my own personal experience :-) But I noticed it doesn't get the same treatment that others such as 7 gets, that's what I was getting at.

  • music was really the only good thing bout this game, it had a lot of promise but the story, gameplay was much more linear than the previous ones, character development was just third rate.

  • @natqoh Clearly you have no idea what you are talking about rofl, have you even played it ? the game was anything but linear , since after the first boss on the dark forest you have an WORLD MAP, the story was , for me,very good ( one of my top 3), and the character development was deep with the ability stones and the items for learning said abilities, synth system was great , zodiac quest was fun , and chocobo mini-game were the best in the series, so please kind sir, blow it out your ass.

  • @kenshyn91 clearly your statement suggests that you haven't played many good games, top 3? what do you smoke while you play games, haven't you ever played suikoden, or chrono trigger, or any final fantasy prior to 8, ever play a sega saturn... "91" must have been the year you were born, given the statement. the most boring story of the series,

  • character development would have been the worst (next to 8), and I'm almost positive they were trying the whole DBZ thing to ride the craze that was going on at the time, where he powers up and goes super,but square merged with enix and never made a good game again, so it's stuck in the middle somewhere as a good game as opposed to the trash it would have been relegated to.

  • u think its good cause you get a world map, dear god, lol. mini games do not add to a story, it was more like a cover for the lack of story, and the blow it out your ass statement kinda verifies my above comment of your age, if not, your maturity level.

  • @natqoh Omg i care so little i almost gave a damn about your wall off text. I liked the story, far better then chrono trigger, liked the battle system and overall gameplay.

    And like i stated a few days ago , blow it out your ass because i honestly don't care about anything you have to say, when you try to impose your tastes and likes , onto someone else you damn bastard.

    kisses*

  • @kenshyn91 point proven, you should listen to your own advice, this game is total garbage, observations are not imposing anything on anyone, if i state fact i'll say as much. And you don't care, anger is imposing hate, it's a pretty strong emotion, I'd say you more than care, why don't you care about some more important issues.

  • @natqoh That's just a load of crap lol. For me after IX is where FF started to go downhill. Especially XIII, which also has to be the only FF game without a top notch sound track for me.

  • @skullkid325 ....did you even read my comment?

  • I Miss playing this game soooooo much!

  • @HeartlessReaperKun

    yes, one of the best and most beautiful games ever!! and the music. fukin chilled!!!

  • Check my remix of this song, it's in the videoresponses!

  • Im so happy to see these comments, I feel everyone hates FF9. It's my absolute favorite FF. and really one of my all time favorite games. I cried at the end. <33 Love this song and the whole sound track.

  • @runimina heheh. im still wondering how Zidanes tail managed to be behind the cape in the ending :D

  • I shed a tear, because hearing this makes me sad... sad that this time is over and this kind of experience will never be felt again for me

  • this was not a game.

    this was a lesson of life.

  • No matter how many Final Fantasies are made, FFIX will always be my #1 favorite. The fact that it was my first completed Final Fantasy game may have something to do with this, but besides that, it has such an amazing story line, characters you can easily relate to, and beautiful music. I'll never forget all the memories I've had this one game. Final Fantasy IX is extremely underrated.

  • joder a desempolvar la vieja play T.T

  • i wrote a 300 word essay out for this but decidded to delete it, all i have to say is ff9 is by far the best, no matter how many people slate it, i owned all the others but he characters and storyline in ff9 are just perfection. such a beautiful game in every way, a game like this can change a person for the better. this theme means a lot to me and still makes me cry, the beginning of the best story out there which is ff9

  • I came....

    ...

    ..

    to listen to this masterpiece

  • Childhood, dear lost dreams

  • Can't help but whistle along with the melody and be taken back to the day of my childhood... Ah. the nostalgia... Not so bad really.

  • Wow, nostalgia.

  • i hate this music, it makes me load my game 2mins later...

  • @angeloberdugo13 same here... i even let it playing for 15 mins...

  • NEW GAME

    LOAD GAME

  • @shaelmaru yes, i know =)

  • Magnifica el mejor ff del mundo y con un OST formidable

  • Que recuerdos 

  • Screw Cloud, Tidus, and Squall! Zidane is the only main protagonist out of FF that wasn't a wimp or annoying! FF9 FTW!

  • @Kurotard I didn't find Cecil or Terra wimpy or annoying either. Or Firion for that matter.

  • Nostalgic as I remember watching the game's intro in disc 1. Flying airships with the game's world map in the foreground with its opacity probably decreased, spellbinding magic especially the sand of Cleyra descending in spiral and the summon of Alexander in the chaotic Alexandaria, the vanishing of Odin (of course, the Eidolon was not seen -the intro was the compilation of the game's CGIs) and all... Should watch it.

  • Manly tears T_T

  • This brings back the best memories of my childhood. 

  • Final Fantasy > Guild Wars > World of Warcraft > Counter strike > Nicolas Sarkozy > Call of Duty > Tétris > 5 dislikes. I love Final Fantasy, it's my favorite game.

  • the first time i played to FF9... i heard this music... and at this moment... i'd already know this final fantasy will be a great game... only FF can do that... best game ever...

  • it is so fucking epic it sends me back in my childhood

  • eargasm

  • Friend: Dude, this game is old... why are you playing it..?

  • @anstotan I cried too its so sad especially vivi :(. All hail FF IX

  • Can we ever return? Whenever we go to somewhere we've been, we are older, and we see it differently.

  • this song brings me back to when i was 6

  • december 2000 going to kmart the day it came out so excited to jump into another great square adventure....cant believe its been almost 11 years and this game is still one of the greatest along with 7,8,10, and tactics....im sure the pre playstation final fantasies were good just never got around to playing them maybe i should....im slackin

  • @DETROIT2MILWAUKEE FF12 was good, too.

  • I can play this song on the ocarina! :D

  • This song reminds me of painkillers.

  • so midle age..

  • just magical

    

  • Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, I'm 12 again. *_*

  • this tune is sweeeet

  • i agree someday i will return to the world of gaia....

  • I really love this song. The first time I heard it...I was hooked. Ever since then, I've been spending time with my violin learning this tune by ear. When I finally perfect it, I will post a video of me playing it.

  • @Stefisgarden cool :)

  • i remember popping the disc for the first time, heard this tune..........i just got fucking goosebumps.

  • remember how young you were?

    all the memories of good days!

    remember all the shit you have been to since that time?

    good now remember the name of the song

  • @omarkhaleel1990 beautiful comment man. I hope you are right.

  • Incredible! I remember when i was 13 years old

  • It's A Legend.

  • @ryumasieler it's THE Legend...

  • .......add to

  • ....like

  • *sigh...

  • this is one of the only songs that awakens any emotion in me...........its so damn beautiful.

    this on itunes?

  • this reminds me of when i was young and life was beautifull and full of hope now its hollow and pointless so the title fits hopefully i can return to that place someday

  • @l3054

    true and nice comment man, feel kinda the same

  • @l3054 spot on

  • How can he create such a beautiful music?

  • 4 people prefer more Square Enix than SquareSoft ^^

  • 4 people are FF7 fanboys/fangirls jealous of FF9's greatness.

  • One word Beautiful.

  • This song always reminds me of Spice and Wolf.

  • @SoulReaperSwords hmm dont you mean spice and wolf reminds you of this...?

    sorry dont hit me

  • @DaemonetteBait nope! Because I watched spice and wolf first, then bought the game and played it xD

  • The song does not lie. I'm on my 4th play-through of the game and still finding new things. FFIX is very fun, very memorable, and quite underrated. Square did a great job bringing the franchise to its former fantasy roots at least for a time being. Anyone who hasn't played it and enjoys Final Fantasy, it's well worth your time considering the crap given to us these past few years.

  • @Dirkasnivs i cant beat it though D: my disc 4 is to the point where i cant even get to the final boss without it freezing :<

  • @ghhost92 well, you can also buy the game on the ps store. only $10 or maybe less, can't remember but it's cheap =)

  • Feels like i want to Re-Play this game i just love the Whole entire SoundTrack to this game >.>

  • i don`t understand,there`s 4 poeple doesn`t like final fantasy?

  • 4 personas no saben lo que es sentir esto

  • 4 people do not know how to whistle........

  • Who else hums along ALL the FF tunes he/she's ever heard, even though they know they can't sing? :>

  • 4 people suck dick.

  • @Gun0nGun You're my hero :)

  • premise, the game more 'beautiful I've ever played. 2: This soundtrack is much like the beginning of the song by Led Zeppelin - STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN, what do you think?

  • @vechozz i think no one realize that

  • 4 People hates Final Fantasy. \:D/

  • @ shaelmaru

    i couldnt agree more mate. everytime i listen to this song it puts the goosebumps back on my arms and i think of the magic time i spend on this adventure.

  • Comment removed

  • The eternal debate: do I start a game or listen to this song just a little... bit... more...

  • @MetaDrano i'll decide for u if u want, i'd say play it again, u know u want to....

  • there is something special about this song...It is not from this world...

  • best theme in final fantasy series

  • Though V may be my favorite, I believe that IX has the most pleasing soundtrack in the entire series.

  • @shaelmaru I dont think anyone could of said it better my friend! :) I hear this music along with many other tracks and its truly brings me back to an amazing and wonderful time in my life. I'm now an adult with a job and not granted the luxury of the time i had as a child... But you are correct that we cannot let ourselves forget who we WERE that made us who we ARE now. :)

  • All of you are talking about memories. I just got this game. I'm creating them.

  • @dragoniguana Yes... Great game..

  • A moment of silence for Vivi please

  • 15 minutes ago I just Finished FF9 and the end was totally awesome and touching!!! especially when Vivi reminisces about the adventure biding farewell to his friends and declaring his death but shows how grateful he is for all the things that he learned from them, when I sought the word "The End" on the screen I spent like Five min looking stun and amazed thinking how awesome this game was and I went to youtube to listen to this theme again. best game of all time!!!

  • Flshback !!! O.o

  • this music does bring back memories though

  • ...they say "once a man twice a child"

    for those speaking about childhood

  • Dammit, where is my childhood?

  • @dalmohern if you find it let me know i've been looking ever since I heard this again.

  • The whole game flashed before my eyes as soon as this song started playing.

  • Magic

  • memories are coming back now

  • EPIC

    

  • "You don't need a reason to help people."

  • I nostalgiad so hard I cried...

  • @EnterV1 for reals, this song is better than any childhood lullaby... it almost IS one for me, was 13 when i got it...

  • @EnterV1 It's two of us then.

  • Comment removed

  • Pressing the start button and dragging myself away from this incredible piece of art was one of the hardest choices I've ever had to make.

    I've lived a hard life...

  • When I first heard the opening, I knew Final Fantasy was going to go out with a bang on the PS1.

  • Every time you start the game... "Square Enix"... Press X... press Load Game... Select file...

  • The Game I`ll Return to Someday...

  • 4 people din´t return to that place .

  • There needs to be a intro theme like this in FFXV if it's medieval.

  • Best game ever made.
