†† Final Fantasy Collection † Epica Medley ††

75th video. Epica is probably my favorite band ever, but making videos with their music isn't all that easy, because of the critic lyrics, sometimes not that easy to match with Final Fantasy (believe me, I got some CRITICS in my Cry for the Moon video -_-). But I love their music so much I decided to make a mix with some of the parts/lyrics I love most, and also to show you why Epica is good ^_^ I have some high expectations with this video, so if you don't like, please say it nicely ^_^
I guess I owe thanks to Jackmanou, as he kinda inspired me to make a video with a music-mix ^_^
So, each FF is basically attached with a determinate music, that I felt like it had more to do with its lyric, so it also has kinda isolated effects between them. And the order of the lyrics isn't random either, I kinda have 2 big themes, dreams/fiction, and then life/troubles in life/reality, and I tried to make it so the lyrics have some sense together, flowing to each other. I hope you like the mix, because I do. I'll add the lyrics used to see if you get that chain.
My favorite parts are the FFX-2's, FFX's, DoC's, Versus XIII's and the last one, the mix-game with Consign to Oblivion (Free ourselves from madness).
I hope you also like the video ^_^

Lyrics (in order of appearence):
(Dance of Fate)
When darkness will reigh and blind us all

(Sensorium)
Our future has already been written by us alone
But we don't grasp the meaning of
Our programmed course of life
We only fear what comes and smell death every day
Search for the answers that lie beyond

(Illusive Consensus)
First I thought it was a dream
But then it smashed into reality
Beautiful on the outside, decayed deeply within

(Mother of Light)
Reality is sometimes stranger than fiction
Whatever happens in my dreams
I know it can't be worse than this
So I prefer to sleep

(Chasing the Dragon)
I want the night just to color the day
The morning to chase all my nightmares away

(The Phantom Agony)
What's the point of life
And what's the meaning if we all die in the end?

(Living a Lie)
Living a Lie

(The Last Crusade)
Ad finem temporum (Until the end of time)

(Fools of Damnation)
Bow to me
Go for it
Just do it
Bow to the supremecy
Bow to me
Go for it
Just do it
Die for the divinity

(Death of Dream)
My soul suffers from your hostile ways
I bear so many scars
Hit me hard

(Beyond Belief)
Defeat us
Science, knowlegde, wisdom
Destroy us
Always, ever, faster
This is the final end

(Facade of Reality)
Macula aeternitatis (A disgrace on the beyond)
Nunquam detergenda (That can never be undone)
Quisnam surget et deteget (Who shall rise and unveil)
Imaginem veritatis? (The façade of reality?)

(Another Me "In Lack'ech")
Never finding fulfilment, the source and end is you

(Consign of Oblivion)
Higher positions, race for perfection
Better, faster
We must return to the laws of the nature
Free ourselves from madness

PS: Please watch in high quality

Nice idea - good choice of songs to fit with video clips. Let down only slightly by the sometimes quite abrupt changes in the music between song clips.

[HoshisamaValmor]

@profskett thank you for the comment and for the opinion

[jebemtisestru]

[HoshisamaValmor]

yes I've heard it but I need to listen to the whole CD more attentively to be able to pick a favorite

[Lasgorndalf13]

Good video.

Did you hear already Design Your Universe.... Kingdom Of Heaven is an amazing song. In my opinion that one and Consign To Oblvion are their best
