Final Fantasy VII - The Nightmare Begins [HQ]

[TripThreez]

"Wait! If I go with you will I meet Hojo?"

[Khievin7]

I can sleep to this song...Just turn off all the lights and have this song on repeat...

[Clouds095]

Doesn't anyone think that FF7 has cool names? Vincent Valentine Cloud Strife  Tifa Lockhart

[7Digit7Gamer7]

@Clouds095 The names fit each character perfectly. Lockhart is very underrated in my opinion.

[MultiVampirekiller]

I've seen so many videos where people have said that its Square Enix and they did the game etc etc. It wasn't it was Square (or known as Square Soft indirectly) that created Final Fantasy games up until 10. After 10 is when they became Square Enix becuase Square Co. and Enix Co. merged together in 2003. Please know who made the games in the series, it gets under my skin when people say Square Enix created 7, 8 etc.

But yeah, rant over, I LOVE this song so much xD

[Zer0SkiLL789]

Such a sad, lonely song. I used Vincent through almost all of my playthroughs. I wanted to mix it up sometimes, but I would always put him in the part after hearing this song. How could I possibly resist?

[tttc]

Listen to the first part of "The Extreme" from FF8.

[PharaHooves]

Vincent Theme

[xOfficialVincentx]

This music is quite fitting, couldn't ask for a better theme.

[thekenman999]

i would be having nightmares too if the woman i loved had sex with a crazy scientist to create a lifeform by which almost brings about the end of the world...Vincent is so misunderstood... -_-

[Cisforchao]

Vincent Valentine is the real star of ff7

[DrewGamerFX]

@Cisforchao No, Vincent Valentine was a way for Squeenix to retcon everything, creating plot holes in their own game series even previously established in the original game. He was an optional character and played little relevance in the game.

GOOD THINGS THOSE SEQUELS NEVER HAPPENED -clears throat loudly-

[wwaarrddy]

Epic quote time.

"The gate to tomorrow is not the light of heaven, but the darkness of the depths of the earth."

Thank you, Vincent.

[unitedjt345]

Im glad you joined me Vincent <3

[svgamevidsmk2]

I used to be a Turk but then I took an arrow in the knee.

[ForcheAlex]

Love this music, puts me at ease

[apocolisp]

this game forms a piece of my soul. pretty much will always carry it with me. INTEGRAL to my memories as an early teenager. life changing. fucking game. FUCKING BEING SO... SO GODDAMN DEAR TO ME!

[opaldragon009]

God, this was such an amazing game. I got upset when I saw the credits at the end. I even cried a bit because not only was the game over, but it was just such a GREAT GAME!

[AlexPlaysGames]

Sounds very VERY similar to the guitar opening of FF8s "The Extreme"

[Lichtgestalt86]

@AlexPlaysGames you're right...I think it's common on Uematsu to reuse some melodies, like the FF VI theme of Celes and the Theme of Aerith.

[Risco98]

@AlexPlaysGames Your wrong. "The Extreme" sounds similar to "The Nightmare Begins". Get it right lol

[AlexPlaysGames]

@Risco98 Shut the fuck up, dude. I said it sounds similar, nothing more.

Also, you're*, not your. "Get it right lol"

[Risco98]

@Risco98 its sarcasm man, no offense. let me grab the joke book for you to understand. wait, you have one in your purse right? :D

[untamedoni]

Wow even the URL is shocked on how deep Vincent's theme is. "O_0"

[Neobahamut0zero]

hehe :) the character protraits would kinda suprise me everyimesomeone joined the party, I finally see what they are supposed to look like. I never understood the metal bars on Vincent's face.

[sasuke65743]

hey guys someone knows if the bug when vincent gain something like milions of damage with his final weapon still exist on pc version? :D

[UchihaGamer111]

@sasuke65743 The Glitch works on Barret's Missing # and Vincent's Death Penalty because the damage is based off how many kills you have with the character. If you killed like 65,000 something with Vincent it will do it. They will never fix it because it doesn't really need to be fixed its totally optional to sit they're an farm 60,000 kills with Vincent.

[Tekudo]

How very fitting. The nightmare began when I finished FF7 and had nothing else to play. :D

[ServitoreLuceGialla]

@Tekudo There's WEAPONS. Impossible to kill, but hard to defeat.

[FinalSoulfantasy7Eat]

Vincent is the coolest character in FF7 and his life is so awlful and what Hojo did to him.

[UchihaGamer111]

I think I like this the most of the all the character themes especially when it breaks down at 0:53 that is just my life story right there.

[Wellington41st]

I really wanted Vincent to appear in Dissidia 012, but instead I get Yuna and Lightning....

[shadowcharly111]

THe link of this video, at the is a: O_0

[Julienfun]

@shadowcharly111 I guess the entire thing means "view Blackjack, wark ! O_0"

[silverjonquil]

all the music falls under same creepy category --- trail of blood, anxious heart, who are you, who am i, the nightmare begins

[crf50]

this will be a fun song to learn on the guitar

[anysnail]

@crf50 this is actually a harpsichord. i loves me a harpsichord!

[crf50]

@anysnail interesting to know! I learned it on guitar since I last posted that comment :)

[xXSpiritDreamerXx]

I had my mom listen to this and it sorta played out like this:

Me: "Mom, come listen to this! It's Vinnie's theme song! :D*plays vid*"

My Mom: "It sounds so...monotone :\"

Me: "Like I said, Vincent's theme song ;D"

My Mom: "Whatever... -_-"

I love Vincent so much <3

[Axelindarkness]

This is how my battle with the two-headed dragon in Gaea's Cliff (The one head is fire and the other ice) I had anti-fire items so I killed off the Ice side and thiiis happened.

Me: "Ah, Vincent has his Limit Break"

*Uses it to turn him into his Gallian Beast*

Me: Alright, full heal.

*Vincent uses Beast Flare, healing the Dragon*

Me: "Stop that, he absorbs fire"

*Next 4 Vincent attacks are Beast Flare*

Me: Dammit, Vincent, Stop healing the enemy.

*Cloud "accidentally" kills Vincent*

[Fironnathedarkelf]

in my party vincent keeps dieing

over and over and over again

makes me sad : (

[MstEli]

@Fironnathedarkelf out of curiocity, when did you get vincent? That could be a reason for why he dies often in your party

[Fironnathedarkelf]

@MstEli I got him the first time you go into the manor, not the flashback though.

[MstEli]

@Fironnathedarkelf oh ok.

[SpiralKnight90]

I was so excited when Vincent got his own game, its to bad you only got to play for like 20mins before 3hrs of cut-scenes. Could have done a better job is all I'm saying.

[bubbaXzone]

@heather99100 HOLY SHIT IF REALLY DOES COMBINE NICELY!!!

people need to give your comment thumbs up!

[DWNmetalman777]

O_0

[Matthew1242]

The link for this song ends in an emoticon.

[mattmccarthymusic]

There's nothing better than maxing out deathblow and having Vincent shoot every enemy dead while your other party members try to contribute by punching and shit.

It even says "Death." No damage - just death...

[LapisLaser]

Gotta love how the video id ends with O_0

[unitedjt345]

umm ok well can i fit in there with u ^_^'

[Stefisgarden]

♥VINCENT!!!!♥

[RichardBatchelor86]

I love this soundtrack so much. Nobuo Uematsu is the reason I started writing music, I heard his music 14 years ago and haven't stopped writing since.

[tlevy2654]

I can play this on the piano. I draw Vincent all the time. I am mastering drawing a gun so I can draw Vincent perfectly. I am however only half fangirl.

If I see a Vincent cosplayer I will say how good/bad hi cosplay is. I will not hug him if he is perfect.

I do not dream of him nude.

I do not like him and Cid or him and Sephiroth.

I just love him with Hojo for some reason though.

Hmmm...

[VinnieVincent88]

Vincent was the most mysterious out of all the characters, not to mention his badass limits every time he'd be changing into a monster just beating the shit out of the enemies. There were even a couple times where saved the battle cuz I had a reflect ring equipped and he just kept attacking while the others died. Best limits ever.

[UrDadGaveMeHerps]

When i first found Vincent in the bottom of Shinra Mansion, the second he bursts outa his sleep and spins around in the air. Got me Hard.

[BrunoYOPz]

My favorite FF VII char, Vincent Valentine's a great bad-ass guy! Plus, if u play Dirge of Cerberus u'll admire this guy even more!!! >X)

[TheWarriorOfThePeace]

Ilike to play FF games and Mgs games because there is a great story allways behind them ... And it a way to go inside your own world where all this madness and sorrow is left behind,,,,,,its the only way to escape the brutal reality

[tlevy2654]

@TheWarriorOfThePeace Especially with capes included.

[mattcloudff7]

This just shows how massive this game is, Vincent is such a good character with an amazingly sad story yet it was possible for him not even to join your party!

[NotTooWellKnown]

So Vincent is what... 50? 60 years old?

[Nuxana12]

is anyone supprised most people who played ff7 are weird? crossdressing, Aliens, Dead life energy..stuff, Vincent in his vincenty ways, yuffie, cait sith, dudes with gun arms and experamentation.

The list goes on people...on the list goes on :/

[carlcamper]

right 36, left 10, right 59, right 97

[antagony98]

ive memorized the code to the safe in the shinra mansion, i can tell you where every turtles paradise poster is, i know chocobo breading like the back of my hand, ive mastered every materia and beat every enemy... and its not cuz im a nerd. Its because growing up, ff7 was a way for me to escape everything that was real and just enjoy myself and not have a worry in the world....

[DstileSK8]

@antagony98 Yes, that's the truth. FF7 was a way for a lot of people to escape this rotten reality and enjoy.

[camil2003]

@DstileSK8

Spoken truly.

Not to mention it inspired us.. something reality usually does the exact opposite of.

[DstileSK8]

@camil2003  True. So true...

[itachiitachi1946]

@antagony98 i also remember still how to ''hunt'' a chocobo..using gusashi green.loland yeah dude as i was listening to ff7 themes i was thinking and realised that ffvii was a way to me to escape reality.my door to a beautifull majestic world of magic and joy.my hideout or something like that.

[tlevy2654]

@antagony98 Where are all of the Turtle Paradise Posters?

[antagony98]

@tlevy2654 #1. Sector 5 in Midgar #2.Shin-Ra HQ #3 Gold Saucer (Ghost Hotel) #4 Cosmo Canyon (Inn) #5 Tiger Lily Weapons Shop (Also in Cosmo Canyon) #6 Yuffie's Bassment (Wutai). The reward isn't all that great though, you get 6 "Source" Items (Luck, Power, Speed, Magic, Guard & Mind) + 1 Megalixir. It's not a bad side quest, though, and with the exception of flyer #2, can befinished in 30 minutes or less

[BlackOasis21]

@antagony98 That doesn't make you a nerd, it makes you a geek--and there's nothing wrong with that. :)

[formosamortem]

@antagony98 Same here. FF7 saved me from the harshness of the slums.

[defcalledque]

@antagony98 Mane. you the shit, I fckin feel you. I know you had fun Fightin Ruby Weapon too ha. the gamehad the best challenges ever.

[helterXXXXskelter]

@antagony98 lol'd at "chocobo breading"...

[youngartestt]

vincent!!!!!!!! :D

[CrimsonVermillioneye]

Cloud: A vampire!

Vincent: -_- *goes to sleep*

[roseofmay91]

I <3 Vincent!!! I... actually did fanfiction on him. And it wasn't that bad. Love him!!!

[Waldimart]

Vincent can kill Weapons in one shot if you it right^^

[Badguy292]

Vincent is AWESOME! I completed FFVII: Dirge Of Cerberus, A Final Fantasy Third Person Shooter?! It's totally Awesome!

[udalix]

Right 36, Left 10, Right 59, Right 97 Now go get Vincent !!!

[ZealotZeke]

@udalix

Square Enix: But first fight a boss that kills each party member within 20 seconds of themselves!

If you succeed, then we'll just keep sending more guys! :D

[mawsterin]

@udalix

first hard batlle :D

[dannybiach]

@udalix BEST COMMENT EVER MAN !

[Knoyes93]

You're not cool if you don't have Vincent in your party.

[MotherBound1]

@Knoyes93 Oh shit!

[whiteguycash]

Sniper CR + Deathblow = EZ. enjoy leveling up your limit break faster now.

[Gringo532]

one person is over his nightmare

[ametryn]

This version will always beat out all of the other new versions created. Probably because the instrumental sounds like a harpsichord (which fit Vincent's character much better), and people are confusing it with a guitar.

[cidff]

One of the most amazing and epic compositions of all. Thx Nobuo for this masterpiece!

[Clickykid]

I'm not a huge fan of 7 but vincent fails however his story is awesome he has a cool name and this song is alright

[Beauxdeauxfinglok]

This song was enough to make me bother with figuring all of that shit out, boy was it worth it.

Makes me want to dramatically stand up and take out the refuse.

[TheKeyBladeMastah666]

Cloud, vincent valintine and red... BEST PARTY EVA

[yoitsdomka]

@TheKeyBladeMastah666

High-five! Used to have them in my party too :D

[TheKeyBladeMastah666]

@yoitsdomka :D

[nafis100]

1 person had a nightmare that never ended lmao

[TheLustyEnigma]

It's funny how popular Vincent has become, considering he started off as being a hidden character. Easily one of my favorite characters in the game :-)

[guywheadphones]

One person couldn't open the safe...

[gcarmona1996]

that one disliked hojo

[honeybataco]

Vincent is the best character EVER. Well, one of the best. B)

[Tekudo]

Everyday I want to wake up from the nightmare of not having a FF7 remake. :(

[Grukrimm]

This could easily be for diablo

[Papaya357]

Remember Yin and Yang?

Jesus.

[AZ09astrophysicist]

@Papaya357 Yin's getting EXCITED! YANG IS GETTING EXCITED! = Bolt 2 on my ass lol

[RaijinDestroyer]

@Papaya357 Children,i was scared by this monster,i took the leak before it does something.Damn you Vincent

[blueaxial]

@Papaya357 Creapiest monster ever, with this music and the way it moved. Jesus.

[ohohyo9999]

Take Chuck Norris, give him a gun and a mysterious aspect and you've got Vincent.

[nicolunacba]

ME GUSTA

[MrDemoExpert]

Hellsing Alucard vs Vincent Valentine

Would be truly an epic battle to behold but so confusing at the same time

[Firefromheaven906]

Possibly my favorite character, this Vincent. I feel so bad for him. (Plus he's pretty darn useful in battle. And he has a cape.)

[MrDemoExpert]

@Firefromheaven906 Aah the cape makes everything worth it <3

[KazekageOfTheFunk]

@MrDemoExpert

Capes are bad luck. Capes are the leading cause of death among cape wearers. I'm tellin' ya', that cape's gonna' be his doom. He's gonna' go Chaos mode and fly his ass into a helicopter.

[Abehl0X0Toshinota]

@KazekageOfTheFunk But as chaos he doesnt wear a cape ^^

[KazekageOfTheFunk]

@Abehl0X0Toshinota

Ah, you are sadly mistaken. He does wear a cape--HIS cape. It's on his head. He may not wear it correctly, but he does wear it. That alone is a bad and dangerous thing to do. I'm tellin' ya', beware the cape.

[Abehl0X0Toshinota]

@KazekageOfTheFunk My friend, you are both a nimrod and a genius

[KazekageOfTheFunk]

@Abehl0X0Toshinota

That's what Mother says.

[godverdegodverdomme]

@KazekageOfTheFunk Something tells me crashing into a helicopter will hit Vincent for 0-5 hit points.

It will probably heal him when he is turned into Chaos Xp

[goldenphoenixnaruto]

@KazekageOfTheFunk -one month later- Edna Mole reference? I like it, regardless o3o.

[KazekageOfTheFunk]

@goldenphoenixnaruto

lol Someone finally got that. Sweet.

[tlevy2654]

@Firefromheaven906 Never go anywhere without him. I wanted to find him first, but alas, as the story tells, I couldn't.

[Firefromheaven906]

@tlevy2654

I know! I wish my constant party from the beginning could be Vincent, Nanaki, and Cid. 3 best characters.

[moomooimacat]

@Firefromheaven906 CAPES FTW! If there was a zombie apocalypse, I'd grab a Cape and Fedora before a gun.

[Firefromheaven906]

@moomooimacat

I'd grab a Vincent or two. Then a lightsaber. ;3

[shabang1220]

@Firefromheaven906 dont forget the epic golden pointy shoes of death

[BahamutZEROteraFlare]

@Firefromheaven906 well, yeah, the cape is the most important part.

[TreystaFXATARIEN]

@Firefromheaven906 and has his own game as well Dirge of Cerberus

[katzensaftpresse]

@Firefromheaven906

Yes, I love his cape, too

[jakeosh]

isn't the nightmare begins also the name oft the first episode of invader zim?

CONNECTIONS!!!!

[KazekageOfTheFunk]

@jakeosh

Invader Jenova

[endOsS1]

one of my favorites ... stayn there only to hear this music ... oh man the good old memories .. i quess im never get the feelings again ..

[earthboundPSI]

Vincent is the man

[KalterStien]

Basement National Anthem.

ITS ON NOW CHAPS.

[xDejahx]

Vincent! 

[chef123]

I don't know but this sounds like the Final Fantasy VIII Ultimecia Final Boss Theme, just tweaked a little bit.

[Xandersama]

@chef123 You realize that makes no sense, it would have to be the FFVIIII's The Extreme that was a tweaked version of this track since obviously FFVII came out before FFVIII.

[chef123]

@Xandersama

Whatever lol.

[Made4542]

This theme so suited the Shinra Mansion Basement perfectly

[GmanGregilla]

Vince(ent), what's going on, yo?

Lucretia? Oh, what a coincidence, I married her and raised a family of our own alongside her while you were lost in whichever labyrinth in which you were.

Say, you could probably cause most potential foes in our path to flee by them just staring at you in relative intimidation and relative fear. I'll let you have Lucretia back unto your own if you'll team up with us until our adventure concludes!

[zane0144]

This same thing is in the beggining of The Extreme in FFVIII

[LapisLaser]

@zane0144 I went and checked. They're similar, but not identical. So, no.

[Dylexa]

Lol, there is one little Shinra Cloud forgot to hurt.

[Robben911back]

Check this out... The room before you can either choose to go to the library or Vincents room, there is a skeleton head lying on the floor. That head looks like Jesse from Pokemon. Haha. And the bone lying next to her I chose to call Meowth. I dont have a clue why I did that. But the head looks like her!

[XenosRex]

Needs more cowbell.

[rallycar171]

im on team vincent. they better have little vincent toys an shit at burger king now.

[shadowzero90]

;...; i used to be a turk but they kicked me out because im a FREAKIN VAMPIRE!!!!

[R8erNation636]

Sorry, man, but Twilight probably ruined vampires for them. Ten years ago, you'd be OK. But after the whole "Team Edward" bullshit, they probably want all vampires dead. Maybe the ACLU can help.

[shadowzero90]

@R8erNation636 lol nice one

[supershadow125]

@R8erNation636 I can't even say I like vampires because a shit ton of people would run up to me and say YOU'RE WITH EDWARD!? or WHY HATE JACOB HE'S A HUNK DURR HRRR! The last time I said I like vampires was when I was reading Hellsing and good lord almost half of the girls and gay guys were after me. so just like Vincent I'm waiting in a coffin until Twilight dies...that will be until ff7 gets a remake...long time.

[Sinspiration]

@supershadow125 Watch Hellsing Ultimate Abridged, the intro is more than enough to make you feel better. Trust me..

[Sinspiration]

@supershadow125 And I mean the TFS HU-A, not the other ones,

[supershadow125]

@Sinspiration I had seen it way back and to this day I am the Fuck Mothering Vampire I killed a lot of people to get that title and I should be called such.

[ascomedas2]

viiiinnnncennnnnttt *o*

[52hello25]

@ascomedas2 lol, i was just about to post the exact same thing, emoticon and all!

[ascomedas2]

@52hello25 xDDD

[emmeg516]

this played when 4kids dubbed DBZ

[Ashyneko]

@emmeg516 LOL.

[emmeg516]

@Ashyneko

blue popo will kill up in our sleeps....

[Ashyneko]

@emmeg516 Oh god no!!!!!

[emmeg516]

@Ashyneko

:3

[FaceXDpalm]

i wish they put this in dirge of cerberus

[confuciuscubed]

Great little piece of classical guitar. It's simultaneously conventional and original and it captures the feeling of the game perfectly.

[captron420a]

I always liked Vincent the most in FF7. The music, the backround story, and his personality. Something about it all drew me in. I don't regret it.

[theaccidentalmimo]

@captron420a Agreed! Vincent was my favorite character out of all of them. I also have no regrets.

[Amneysia]

@theaccidentalmimo Vincent is a good and sexy char but at the end of FF7 he's totaly useless, his last weapon does sucks
