It's not in a game, but I think 'Black Mages' version of this song is one if the best ones: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lRhPgzHb_KA.html&ab_channel=FuegoRedXIII
i know some people would disagree but what i loved most about the snes version is the strong bass, thats a bit missing here but the violin ABSOLUTELY makes up for it, i love it, still the only acceptable non og version of my most favorite boss fight music for over 20 years!
The Pixel Remaster FF6 is truely epic, the soundtrack especially as it's all been upgraded so it sounds aweesome yet retains the essence of the original reditions.
Me too! When I first heard this theme, I was temporarily tricked into thinking I was playing a Falcom game and it felt like coming back home after a year of being away. Only to realize that it wasn't Falcom and it was Square, but I still felt the hype.
Oh yeah... THIS finally captures what the music FELT like back in the 90's in those battles in this story. I'm so happy~ Real OGs went for the Ether reward by the way. :V
This soundtrack was the reason why i played this game. i played ff7,8,9,10 and 12 before..but never 1-6. thanks to pixel remaster i changed my mind and love ff6. so damn good soundtracks in there and kefka is a great villain.
Tbh, the whole game is like that. I mean, sure it introduced Limit Breaks, the option to switch party members and to toggle between active party members with full ATB bars, those things are important extra little additions, but I never understood why it's considered this legendary masterpiece. Anyone else feel this way? It was just a rehash of FFII after all.
@@raptorlewis273To me it was the setting and the characters. Previous FF games are very medieval and European inspired. VI was the first to break from that mold with having more steampunk setting and tracks that are more modern at least compared to it's predecessors which are also mostly European inspired. It has deeper characters with personal struggles. I-V is where the foundation were built, VI is the game that tried to combine each of those good ideas into 1 game. VI in a way, is the platform that made PS1 era so successful since most of what made VII-IX so successful were based on VI.
Most snes and nes boss themes are short, it's more about how sick the overall melody was and how catchy it was. you could sorta hear how awesome it would be if it was done well.
@@raptorlewis273 This game's story is better than the previous ones to me, but I don't think of VI as a masterpiece in the same regards as other people. That doesn't mean it isn't, just that it isn't for me.
What's with the hate for the pixel remasters?! I love the snes version of ff6, but the pixel remaster of it blew my mind. Absolute masterpiece, and the soundtrack is incredible
Now that I tried this one, I'm very surprised by the quality of this remaster soundtrack, I usually like far better the originals(unless its Nes era, but even then...)! It motivated me to give a chance to the pixel remasters.
Great music, I'm blown away by this rock update! The battle decisions in the video were driving me nuts though, to be honest. One could easily Healed then > More Commands > Defend when no more healing is necessary when its in its shell.
Well no that's actually something that only started when the series adopted the Active time battle system since enemies could now enter in and out of phases and you choose not to attack immediately unlike the first 3 games.
Kids These Days don't know what it was like to be playing this super moody intro in 1994 and suddenly it's boss time and your face just melts because of the music.
I think everyone can appreciate it. I remember i never played an rpg before and my friend had this game and told me to just listen to the overworld theme. I was astounded and bought it as soon as i could. Finished the whole game after that.
While I tend to prefer the og themes at first with the pixel remastered games (they tend to favor brass in alot of themes), started to love the remixes. The electric guitar bits get my blood pumping 🙌🏽
I definitely prefer the original aside from the violin bit in the middle, it might just be bias since I heard the original first but I feel although this is objectively higher quality with the better instruments I don’t think it benefits much, the mix is less balanced and parts of it are drowned out, it feels way too busy in places, and the guitar is way too over the top and doesn’t fit in, the drums are alright though. I think I prefer the original’s epic action packed sound, even if it’s hard to tell what the instruments are.
Not a bad remake, but I'll stick to the original, this has nothing to do with rose tinted glasses or anything, I just prefer the sound of the SNES version, also the fanfare in this version is just horrid! It's too upbeat, yes you won, but its not party time yet...geez
Glad I still have my SNES and the FF3 cartridge because this looks and sounds worse. Sprites are pastel, text is squished together, adding guitars into old music... 🤮
@@tttitor7710 When the violin kicked in, I pretty much screamed. Didn't think it could get better but it did, hahaha. Violin is my favorite instrument. 🎻
Agreed, I love violins but they are a slower instrument that should not have been part of this fast piece. It slows the whole track down. The original is still better ; I've never heard any re orchestration of this track better than the original anyways, and I listened to tons of them.
