Thank you so much for sharing this video! RIKKI’s and the orchestra’s combined performance is incredible! My mother, who enjoyed listening to “Suteki da ne” together with me in years past, passed away in October of 2023. Listening to this performance today brought back all of the wonderful memories that I made with her and my late father. It was a cathartic experience. Thank you so much again for sharing this video.
FF8 -the only game i have ever bought in the week it was released for full price after having played ff7 borrowed from a mate, which was the first JRPG i ever played. different game, another level
The Red Wings theme is great on its own, but it's made all the better by the musical bookending it brings to the story. We first hear it at the very start of the game, during the most uncertain moment of Cecil's life. Then, once more, in the very end of Cecil's journey, when he finally knows who the real threat is and marches to end that threat. After all of this time, he finally gets to fully embrace the strong and confident nobility of his theme, his path illuminated at last by sacred light.
I was there that time! I played every final fantasy except 11 and this track hit me like a truck, I was on the right hand side of the hall and man I was fully INTO THIS! MAJESTIC!
I was hoping they would perform this piece at the Distant Worlds concert last year in Portland and was a little heartbroken they didn't! But I got tickets to the FFVII-specific concert and am looking forward to this!!! So stunning.
@@Koopadoom EXACTLY 😭 They did not! Portland is much smaller and I wonder if they used our performance day to perform some of the underrated tracks. I think we got Cosmo Canyon in place of Aerith’s Theme for a FFVII feature track, which was still enjoyable, but not nearly the same 😭
Final Fantasy 10 will always be my favorite and this song seals the deal every time. Truly beautiful. hope you guys succeed and get everything you want in life!
There are notably few, if any at all if I’m being bluntly serious, pieces of music ever composed in all of Music History that can compete with this piece for the title of Most Beautifully Sad Piece of Music ever composed/written. I challenge anyone to show me a truly worthy contender to go up against it. It’s breathtakingly perfect for what it aims to communicate to the listener, with or without the appropriate context in mind. Nobuo Uematsu, your works deserve to be immortalized in museums forever.
I'm 16 and everyone mostly thinks about how brain dead are gen z people. And I know most of you think that I don't know how og games were amazing. Well, no new games gave me the enjoyment and it's indeed mostly empty hype and so other things (like microtransactions and more) that made gaming sh*t today I watched advent children when I was just a kid and didn't understand it and didn't know how to get the information without spoilers. My sister told me to download ffvii remake for her (because of nostalgia) and she never played due to her college difficulties , So I played it and still didn't understood what just happened. Until I got a copy of ffvii, first I just played it on my phone till I got my crt tv setup. I played it every day even in the class on my phone (I can transfer save files) It was the most amazing yet sad Game I've ever played. I'm still crying while writing this because of aerith, the most kind one and the supporting one in the party. I remember how hard my sister hugged me after the first disk.(she was also shedding tears.) For anyone who says games(specially og ones and retro ones) don't have emotion You are a pathetic fool. I don't know why but living in the 90's heals my soul everything in my room except for my laptop, is 90's hobbies, collections, TV's and many more things.
I remember a few months ago, i was working as a delivery driver for a company picking up a heavy fridge for recycling at a petrol station that was under renovation. The day was challenging, hot and under alot of pressure. As i managed to attach the safety wraps around the fridge onto the van My go to radio station was Classic FM which i listen to every time i'm on shift. As i turned the engine on, this music came on immediately, and for a moment i felt like the 14 year old kid who was playing his playstation in his room. That one time in my life i didn't have to wake up early for work, that one time in my life i didn't have to worry about keeping up with my bills or face eviction, that one time in my life i didn't have to worry about getting old. For those two minutes this music was playing, i was an emotional wreck, a 39 year old crying in a van reminiscing the days of living in complete blissfulness.
Please take some vacations and just do it if it give you joy. Don't let material things keeping you away from what your heart needs. I wish you a great game.
