  • someone should create a low poly rpg that has pre-rendered/hand drawn backgrounds and a world map. no voice acting, just dialogue boxes. and please, no handheld consoles

  • Nobuo Uematsu made this game

  • "I...I can't stop crying right now. No matter how old I get, I will NEVER forget this game; and as I get older, I will pass this game down to my children and let them relive the same magic I felt when I was 5 years old." The rant of a 17 year old who will never forget.

  • The last final fantasy game i really enjoyed. I guess the serious had nowhere to but to go down from there.

  • This game pull me in the world of fantasy, best rpg

  • @sisterfister100 are you serious??? Bender did the voice acting for wakka in 10.

  • @roboctocon I love FF X - but the voice acting is one of the worst I know

  • @GodofChookie Lets laugh even though we dont feel like it. It will make us feel better... HAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA!!

  • @GodofChookie Ever play Megaman 8?

  • 6 was the best,

    7 was pretty decent

    8 was terrible, annoying characters, shitty draw system, overly complex junctioning, with stupid card sidequests...

    9 was alright except for the pussy ass main character. Gameplay was good.

    10 Same problem with main character, and gameplay was good, however the story sucked balls, the characters where batshit fucking stupid, horrible voice acting and like 8 had annoying as fuck characters

    10-2, abomination of the series, does anyone even have to explain?

  • @SiSTeRFiSTER100 PERFECT!! 6 TRULY IS THE BEST! Why does know one realize how great ff6 is??

  • Something great has just begun...

  • I think they should bring back many of the elements of pre XI Final Fantasies.

  • Wonderful! believe that soon I will make a tribute to Nobuo Uematsu :)

  • This gives me chills every time... 9 years after playing the game I listened to this song and I literally cried, This is why the new final fantasies aren't as good, They lack the heart that makes me play RPG's in the first place

  • best final fantasy of all time.

  • Comment removed

  • Soundtrack of my childhood

  • It's well annoying when the Meteor begins to fall and you don't get this anymore...shame.

  • Moved the PS3 & Xbox 360 out of the way yesterday and set up the PS2, slid in a PS1 memory card and started FFVII after God knows how many years of not playing it. Just this second finished Shinra HQ and arrived at World Map and the game just cast 'Nostalgiaga!' on me... The music, the story, the characters, the memories... They really need to remake this Masterpiece. End of story.

  • SquareEnix can't do Final Fantasies like Squaresoft could.

    It's not an opinion.

    It's a fact.

  • Every once in a while I end up finding this song again and listening to it. I get tears in my eyes everytime. :')

  • I loved alot of the titles. The new ones looked nice... but I had to have end somewhere. The title says it all and I have kept it that way I prefer the memories now let the new generation carry on playing if they must. The series set comfortably in my heart.

    It's ironic how Hironobu expected the first FF to be his last game but it has shot him in the foot a bit... I wonder when they will have the 'Final Fantasy' and close that book once and for all.

  • II, VII, and IX have the best FF world map themes IMO.

  • 3:15 is my absolute favorite part.

  • There are a lot of great world map themes out there, especially from Squaresoft. This one still stands as the best for me because it by far does the best job of evoking the idea that the whole world has been laid out before you. You emerge from the cold, dark city into open fields and it feels like someone's telling you "It's a big world out there and a long journey ahead of us. Let's go exploring!"

  • @tonberrykid02 Terranigma did a great job with that.

  • Square, do you remember the good ol days? I do. I remember when I was trying to make a living in the slums of Midgar. I remember wielding a gunblade. I remember hanging with a rouge group of thieves, one of which who had a tail. I remember playing Blitzball for the Zanarkand Abes. I remember traveling through time to stop Lavos. I could go on and on and on. I remember the stories you used to tell me, stories that kept me up thinking at night :)

  • I don't care what anyone says, this game was and still is absolutely stunning.

  • This theme plays whenever I leave my house to go out somewhere

  • My top of the FF's are: 13º FF11 (I don't like online games xD) 12º FF1 11º FF3 10º FF2 09º FF13 08º FF12 07º FF5 06º FF10 05º FF9 04º FF4 03º FF8 02º FF7 01!º FF6 Why 6?, Well... I just love Kefka :)
  • Sounds like FF 8 premonition XD

  • regarding "fan wars" its best to just think of it like each ff game is its own series in a way diffrent characters places music storys just each one has the same or very similar play styles...i hate ff8 and ff10 but i love ff6 ff7 and my fav is ff9 yh you can judge each game and compare them people should have the right to complain and judge were fans after all but just take into consideration that most dime a dozen sequels try to follow on there storys these games dont there each themselves

  • "what...impossible!..."

  • Bring back the World Maps!

  • @BlitzDragonX2 Fuck yeah

  • @BlitzDragonX2 I can only agree!

  • @BlitzDragonX2 Bring back Squaresoft more like it.

  • @BlitzDragonX2 "Oh no, we can't, it's not REALISTIC ! Graphisms über alles !"

  • Can't stand people that are convinced Final Fantasy has "died." Just because one game in the series is your favorite doesn't mean Square Enix has to make new games just like it, and just because a new game isn't exactly what you want doesn't mean Square "sold out" or "killed" the series.

  • Your fan wars aren't taking you anywhere, are they? Just enjoy the game and the music.

  • I agree with the fan war thing. I like VII very much, but X is actually my favorite. I'm even in the .001% of Final Fantasy fan's population that likes XII. Saying it's not a true Final Fantasy just because they have different producers or different composers is bull crap. It's not the producers or composers that make a Final Fantasy game, it's the magic that they cast on the player. VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, AND XII all had that magic.

  • Comment removed

  • @ItachiTenshi Sorry, XI for those Shantotto and Prishe, I suck with Roman Numerals sometimes. X(

  • MY FAG SONG!!!!

  • @tHeWasTeDYouTh

    Do u mean FAV

  • I used to leave my game on the world map on my computer(yes, FF7 for PC) and sleep to this song back in the day. Love it.

  • Im bursting into tears, the nostalgia...Final Fantasy WAS my childhood, especially FF7 and this song makes me remember all those long forgotten childhood memories...man i wish i could reverse time. FUCKING GENIOUS NOBOU UEMATSU!

  • This is too nostalgic, I don't think I'm gonna last.......=*(

  • I currently like I, II, IV, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X, XII & XIII. I can't see why shouldn't this be possible.

  • I thought FF12 was one of the best ones...

  • Why have all the "Final Fantasy fan war"? If you think Final Fantasy has gone downhill or whatever, it's the fans or "fans" fault for being unpleasable. And newer ones are great too, you just don't want to see it that way.

  • @ps3fanforever Every series has a beginning. Every series has an end.

  • @theplumb3r What do you mean? Are you saying that the whole franchise is long gone?

    If that's the case,please open your mind and don't stick only to previous games. If you want something like before, go and play the previous ones, I don't think Square Enix has any plans of going back to how it used to be,I don't know,almost 25 years ago?

    Things have to change. Even Mario has changed through time in terms of gameplay. Zelda has too.Even Castlevania has. It's akward but you HAVE to get used to it.

  • @ps3fanforever It is true though Final Fantasy was wys superior in the past FFIX and lower were the best they had the magical, emotion evoking vibes that new games for the most part lack greatly. Square Enix is nothing but money grubbers they are a poor shadow of how SquareSoft was.

  • @Satyr88912 For the way I see it, Square Enix = Square Soft.

    And I don't mean this to be offensive in any way but it's for people like you that the Final Fantasy fanbase is considered to be unpleaseable.

    Did you never think that Final Fantasy would change? That's why XII receives so much hate. Nobody could accept a change when it was needed and now it's a "war" within the entire fanbase or "fans".

  • @ps3fanforever I just think that if Square makes a story based RPG franchise anymore that they should not use the title Final Fantasy anymore. I honestly do not mind gameplay changes hell I liked FFX-2's gameplay but what I cannot stand is FFs new vibes they give out and their overall atmosphere etc. Their new FFs are decent just not great.

  • @Satyr88912 Well, I have my opinion and you yours. I can't argue with that, but Final Fantasy is just a name.

    It was meant to be the final game made by Sakaguchi as Square was going bankrupt. Maybe I don't see the title "Final Fantasy" as something that automatically has to be great, perfect or whatever. All of them are perfect in their own ways. Someone might say their favorite Final Fantasy game is XII while someone else will say VIII.

    Most of the time it's just opinion.

  • @ps3fanforever Fair enough and I agree with that. Let us leave it at that then.

  • @ps3fanforever People are allowed to criticise you know...

  • @ps3fanforever The fans aren't unpleasable, they enjoyed FFXII and were all hyped up for FFXIII and its new battle system. Unfortunately FFXIII wasn't a good game and that wasn't just because it broke the Final Fantasy formula. The game was bad and following it came the abysmal FFXIV which was absolutely abysmal. So how can you not say the series hasn't gone downhill? The newest installments have been horrible and on top of that, expensive for Square Enix!

  • @anaalinaama To be honest 7 8 9 and 10 where good, then it got worse :'(

  • @Azour051 FF7 just had the best music and story bc it was unformilliar to all of us , 8 & * where really good too ! but not ff7.. bc ff7 is unique

  • @anaalinaama The fanbase is BROKEN. Even I admit it! It's kinda lame to do so, considering that the franchise has always been awesome.

    Sorry, but I have to say this to prove my point: (Unpleasable people)

    VII was considered good

    VIII was criticized for not being like VII

    IX was criticized for being like VII

    X was criticized for felling different

    XI was criticized for being online

    And the worst ones:

    XII was considered WAY too open, so they made XIII linear and what happened? People complained

  • @ps3fanforever Really? I'd contest that. Too much focus has been put upon milking and butchering the older titles for the sake of spawning spin-offs instead of focusing upon the main series. Then of course there's the simple fact that the series has diverted so heavily from the classic RPG model that once defined it.

  • @Arathyrion FFVII is an example of a Final Fantasy game that's been milked, but I think it's mainly because it's a "fans favorite". Some people love them, some people don't like them.

    The series have changed, huh? No kidding, a lot of videogame franchises have too, you know. Castlevania is an example. Sure it was the same thing but with different games, then it had RPG elements. Now it had a reboot, which some people, like myself, were not totally happy about it, but that doesn't make it bad.

  • @Arathyrion Final Fantasy is different. Each main game is a different story. Some people say that newer games suck because they're different in gameplay. But aren't RPGs supposed to be the exception of how videogames are usually judged? Aren't they supposed to be judged by the story? People NEVER say how did it suck, it's just "It sucks". If it's for the gameplay, well, "you're playing an RPG, how is it important, huh?"

    "It had good gameplay, but the story sucked" Well, how was the story bad?

  • @ps3fanforever I must disagree. The newer titles have no serious subject matter. J-pop has ruined the final fantasy series; along with voiceovers. Text box rpgs are true rpgs because they allow the player to truly get into the game "AKA roleplay" to imagine what the characters sound like, to name your character, to name the other characters. Im sure for new age kids they're cool or w/e; however, I never will. Unpleasable? no. Make a semi serious plot with text and its gravy.

  • @ps3fanforever No, the new Final Fantasy's suck because they suck, not because I'm being a close-minded nolstagia freak. There are many new games that I love, but no Final Fantasy (or any Square Enix for that matter, except Dragon Quest IX, which is techniqually by Level 5).

    All they care about today are incredible graphics and cringe-worthy fanservice amongst horrible characters and generic pop songs.

  • @OmnomTheDevourer XIII's soundtrack had very nice tunes and also the characters were very nice and very well developed. Yes the game is very linear, but isn't X linear too? Pretty much everybody loves X.

  • @LordMarluxia11 I've been making that point too. X is just as, if not more linear than XIII is.

  • @ps3fanforever It's called "different opinions".

  • @ps3fanforever We FF fans have only been unpleasable since ff12.

  • This song is beautiful yet powerful.

    It's a shame Sephiroth has to ruin it by summoning Meteor...

  • Final Fantasy Type 0 and Versus XIII have WORLD MAPS!!!!

  • For the love of...

    Can I just listen to my favorite OST ever without people bitching and whining about "oh, this FF sucks" or "no, your stupid for liking that one more." It's all Final Fantasy, so shut up and listen to $#%@#% Nobuo Uematsu.

  • honestly i thought X was garbage....XII is way freakin better

  • I love you forever nobuo uematsu.

  • If they do a remake... PLEASE let it be a turn-base rpg. That always has and always will be the best. No running about with enemies cluttering up the scenery. I dont care for online play either, It totally kills the feeling of immersion in the story. Summary... No changes. Just bumped up graphics, music, visuals and character designs with original gameplay

    The only real change that I would welcome would be to re-script the dialogue exchange. The original character dialogue was a bit childish.

  • @originaldriver So... Barret's and Cid's dialogue was childish!

  • @Blaziken1500 I mean NOT childish!

  • @Blaziken1500 Yes...swearing aside, it was.

    try comparing the dialogue, to lets say, ff9 and youll see what i mean.

  • @originaldriver I can't argue with that.....

  • Ah... Good old memories from the past.

  • its 2011 and this damn old ps1 game is still epic as hell!

  • OMFG, FF VIII "Premonition " theme is a lot like this!

  • ive come to realize that there are really only 2 elements in an rpg. music and story. only a select few rpgs actually have some good original ideas to actually slightly improve its quality. but its still outshined by music and story. nobuo uematsu is what makes final fantasy for me tbh.

  • remake!

  • @FPSloverXD a classic title doesn't need a remake...

  • @xPrOzAKgaming ment game remake but yes, it is a great game and doesnt need a remake, but it would be awesome tho

  • @FPSloverXD but if square enix make it like the XIII it would suxx

  • I really like the piano part in this.

  • a bit too haunting for a world map theme for me

  • What is the official name for this song?

  • @CrazyOldDave92 Main theme of Final Fantasy VII

  • This makes me want to cry so bad. I miss the game su much. I hear a rumor they're making a remake for the DS but I've heard nothing since.

  • 1-Midgar=New York, 2-Rocket Town=probably around Bulgaria(Their villages are surrounded by forest, 3-Kalm=England, 4-Sleeping Forest and Bone Village=Kashmir Region, 5-Temple of the Ancients=Syria(Modern Mesopotamia), 6-The Gold Saucer= Las Vegas, 7-Corel=San Quentin, 8=Old Man's Cave=Around Afghanistan or Pakistan(Where the oldest living person existed)

  • @Doomhammer15 nice connections those u made

  • @Vivaafruta Thanx!

  • Comment removed

  • Final fantasy golden age, 6-7-8-9, then it died.

    Final.

  • @cmonconan and 10. 12 wasnt bad either.

  • @TheTeamEndure But compared to 6-9 they're crap, sorry. 12 was ok.

  • @cmonconan yeah i can understand where your comming from

  • @cmonconan youur right but dont forget the one that begen it all ff for nintendo

  • @cmonconan We disagree.

  • @cmonconan correction! Final Fantasy 3/6 - 7 FINAL

  • @cmonconan Lol, the opinion of one person means nothing. I betcha that if the guy who made 1-9 hadn't quit and went on to do 10 exactly the same way, everyone would love it too.

  • @cmonconan You forgot 4-5 :)

  • I would watch my friend play this game for countless hours, this song has brought back so many memories.

    He passed away a year ago, thanks for posting this track.

  • @theunclepat Oh my gosh I'm so sorry man. That's sad :'(

  • @theunclepat hey uncle cheerup!! i bet your friends will be watching you over at the heaven ^^ the best comment i ever seen i swear!!!

  • @SgQQ

    Exactly. My twin sister used this song for her fanfic.

  • I know December 21, 2012 the world ends....but we all know that the Lifestream will save us :D thats why im not worried

  • I never actually played it more than once but I for some reason cry when I hear this and I never cry

  • @fir3ztar

    lol i held back some manly tears while watching the opening to AC... too bad the rest of the movie kinda sucked

  • Takes me back

  • *uses PHS*.....

  • damn you sephiroth why did you have to summon meteor and take this awesome song away from us as soon as we get the airship

  • @tosspot86 hell yeah

  • Why did they have to get rid of the world map on the newer FF's? I hate how linear the new games have become, it makes the game dull, atleast for me anyway.

  • After FFX everything went to garbage.

  • @tubenachos

    funny because FFX was and still is garbage.

  • @tubenachos 10 itself was garbage

  • @tubenachos

    Shut yo mouth, XII and X-2 were great.

  • @Terareflection Exactly!! and XIII was fantastic!!! Tubenachos ur an idiot!

  • @tubenachos Dude, they should lay off...You are right, FFX sucked, X-2 was a mistake, XI was different, XII was OKAY and I REFUSE TO TOUCH XIII AND XIII-2

  • @tubenachos You're absolutely right. That can be side about Square in general afterwards. People may claim "oh it's nostalgia" but it really isn't!!!

  • @tubenachos thumbs up to that.

  • <3

  • Man, I hated the overworld themes. Not because they were bad - they were great - but because of how melancholic they sounded.

  • @papiiuenvy type repeat next to youtube in the URL. woooooooo

  • Where can I get the sheet music for this masterpiece?

  • Love this song brings me alot of mine past

  • i remember almost every time i went to the world map i would drop the controller and listen to this for about 10 mins. then continue playing...

  • This game is not over-rated at all! This game made my childhood and i could play it again and again and never get bored. I will never ever forget this game no game so far has even come close to how good this game is. Its name will live on forever and f you go on to ebay or any other seconhand internet shops you will see how expensive this game is now when bought for about £5 when it came out! That just tells you all something dont it.

  • This track is like a dream for me

  • 5 people that came here are deaf.

  • Chills...

  • if only i had the satisfaction of this song every day of my life.....

    as overrated final fantasy is this song still remains in my memories, i'd never play the game again though, the fanboys and the sequals ruined it. everythings explained now, the story isn't exciting anymore.

  • @brainjuice654 Don't be so down. This Game is great... yeah nothing based on it has lived up to it... the film, sequels, animes... anything... But who cares this game was amazing and will remain to be just that :)

    I just see it on it's own anyways, i consider the film and the rest as filler lmao

  • @Jonoridge no it isn't, games been ruined now, don't get the same feel anymore.

  • Hate people who complain about how 'Fanboys' ruined it? you mean people like yourself who enjoyed the game aswell? Sorry the game wasnt made solely for you!

  • @Iviska1989 your reply makes no sense

  • @Iviska1989 Well I think when people say that they mean the people that fangasm over it and say that there's nothing wrong with it. It's a good game, though I find it a bit overrated.

  • @Iviska1989 I would have to say only Hardcorps. fanboys ruin good games. Well it ruins it for them at least and not the rest of the population

  • @Derpsgorawr Dude, no way...! EPIC XD

    Wait...are you kidding? Man, I'm so gullible T_T I just can't tell sometimes

  • Powerful sex

  • Nostalgia. I laid back turned my room lights off at night, closed my eyes put my headphones on let the music go through me... Its so beautiful , I cried :').

  • *Flashback to '96 during FFVII's creation*

    Nobuo Uematsu: "Yo, Cid tell me what you think of this."

    *Plays FFVII main theme*

    Cid: "... %$!#*& beautiful, man! Shera! Bring the man some GOTDAMN TEA."

  • By the way, thumbs up if Nobuo is a genious, on the same level as the mozarts, the beethovens, orchopins

  • Thumbs up if this game was the best ever made

  • @Sargentriolu134 hahaha! same here ^_^

  • I love this piece. It is proper explorers music. Never knowing what is around the corner, what kind of culture to encounter. As for the 4 people who dislike. you have no culture or style, try reading a book, it might help you sometime!!!

  • A classic.

  • Don't feed the troll. Just close your eyes and enjoy.

  • finalfantasy kiddies are getting mad because they cant deal with the fact that horrid synth music isn't art.

  • @Invisty

    If you honestly think the quality or the medium of music is what denotes it as art, then I'm sorry, you are objectively stupid.

  • I love this game. It's so emotionally churning. Nostalgically flowed, it made me feel all kinds of emotions. This game will forever be part of me and I really don't care what anyone things.

  • WHen i first got out of Midgar and saw the Overworld map... i thought to myself.... DAMMNNN!!!! this is gonna be one long ass game! and i enjoyed the game ^_^

  • One of the best video games composed music love this

  • Everyone always shows so much love for One Winged Angel. I even went to Video Game Live and they played that. I always thought this would be a much more enjoyable and beautiful song to be heard at such an event. This is one of my favorite video game tracks of all time. I'm talking like top 5.

  • @Invisty gay

    

  • MY playstation 3 died, so everytime I hear this, its bring a joyful tear to my eye :)

  • @Dstroyer101 sorry to hear that :( my ps3 hasnt died YET but i can imagine how bad it is im a big ps3 addict u see D: lol

  • Try to tell me a single FF7 song you hate. All of them are too perfect :)
