Voices (10. "The Place I'll Return to Someday"/"Melodies of Life" from Final Fantasy IX)

Clip from the concert, "Voices ~ Music from Final Fantasy", performed on February 18, 2006, in Yokohama.

Emiko Shiratori delivers once again. :D I love the part where she integrates the English and Japanese versions of the song.

Had to cut out some of the title to make it fit. I hate to be inconsistent but oh well.

I do not own this video. I just found these clips on the Internet and noticed that nobody seemed to have uploaded all of these on Youtube. Enjoy!

Sweet mother of jesus! I nearly cried when I heard this! :O.O

9 was my absolute favourite of the series and I never thought I'd ever hear The Place I'll Return to Someday in this performance.

@mickthewack X has the best character development. Not so much Wakka and Auron, but Lulu, Yuna, and Kimahri had the most wonderful and saddening stories. VII did too, Cloud had pfft and Barret's was EASILY forced. Cid and Yuffie had the best. VI had MUCH more development than VII did, and it doesn't need a 3d remake to show it.

I didn't love the game, but I adore this combination of The Place I'll Return to and Melodies of Life in BOTH English and Japanese.

VI and IX rank for me as the best FF games. This particular tune I really love love love. It's...hard to describe somehow but IX is a lot more emotional for me then most of their other games are. Even though it's alot about Xidan and Garnet there are other stories too and the character development is really great. For instance, X doesn't have near as good a character development as great as it was. VII is close there, VI didn't have the means. It needs a remake...

The solution to wars and international conflict is clearly to make everyone sit at home playing Final Fantasy games. Then they can discuss the music instead of politics afterwards. \o/

[mouakyle17]

how about we the people stop saying that a certain final fantasy is good? and instead say that every installment is a wonderful masterpiece, and that each one has touched our hearts, just like the games each has touched our hearts differently but nonetheless has affected us XD LOOOOVE THIS MUSIC

There's nothing like the Final Fantasy games..

I just recently played IX this summer, I'm 20 and have been playing Final Fantasy since I've been 15 (I got into it because of Kingdom Hearts) and I first heard this song, though in English, and I sobbed my heart out. It was such a beautiful game and experience. If it wasn't for my love of Eyes on Me, I'd have this song played at my wedding.<3

This made me weak. It is just simply spectacular.
