Final Fantasy VIII - FMV Set 3

Final Fantasy VIII FMVs "Rinoa's Introduction" and "The Dance"

Note: I know there's no BGM to this, the FMV files don't have BGM (aside from the intro and ending).

it feels really weird watching this without any music. i wonder why square separated the files? are there any particular advantage by doing that?

[Xyex]

Not really. It meant they didn't have to make a peice for each scene, many just use the BGM of the area they occur in. It also let them flow directly from gameplay into FMV without any gaps or skips. Though I think the main reason may have been file size and compression, by reducing the ammount of audio included in the file they reduced the final size of the video. It wouldn't be much per video, but with all the FMVs in the game it could have been the difference between 4 and 5 discs.

Do they actually talk in any of these or did the uploader not get the voices in?

[Xyex]

There aren't any voice overs in any FF game before 10.

Amazing how they all dance without music XD

Rinoa is so lovely.

miss the music ...

As weird as it is to see this without the music in the dancing sequence, I must say SE did an amazing job getting all those footsteps on beat.

sounds so strange without the music

Size and compression. There are about 84 in-game tracks in FF8. each about 6-7mins long. Compressed that's approx 7mb per track or 3/4 a CD for the entire set. They had to make the music in a format similar to midi which drastically reduced the size to about 12MB. So they removed the audio from the FMVs as well.

That she is, i agree with you

Final Fantasy 8 really had some beautiful cut scenes, though 7 and 9 aren't without their beautiful scenes either. I think Square did a great job creating these scenes without any voiceovers. It's interesting to hear the isolated sound effects. Like when Squall and Rinoa dance, you don't really notice the sound of the footsteps because of the music.

yeh, what about the music, final fantasy is nothing without the music, the music make the game what it is
