Sound of the Wind, the English title of Kaze no Ne. This song was performed by Donna Burke. Primarily composed by Kumi Tanioka Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is developed by Square Enix and published by Nintendo
you started something magical. a little whisper that jolted us out of our busy lives, leading us to a place where our hearts resonated with eachother. what a beautiful echo. one that feels rare in this time and age. it was a small pleasure to be here with you. i won't forget it.
I had no memory card for my Gamecube for a while, and this opening cutscene was unskippable the first time you ran the game. So I listened to this many times. I found it tedious as a kid, now I love it very very much.
Guess I'll be comment number 5. What a strange phenomenon. As if the game was calling out to us. No idea why I suddenly had the urge to listen to this song again, but here I am. Just like the others before me in the last few days. And they probably won't read my comment, but I read theirs. And so will the next person stopping by to listen. Just like the travellers in the game carrying the chalice through the world who only hear about those who came before them in songs and stories.
I read your comment too, have no fear. It is as if this song called out to me suddenly after years of not hearing it… Almost haunting in a way, yet so beautiful
Almost like its to say the next best thing is coming, Dragon's Dogma 2. The only other game to capture the sense of adventure and companionship of Crystal Chronicles. Truly a beautiful thing 😊
Not sure what number commenter I am lol, but this game has been one of my mainstays for literal YEARS of my life. My still functioning gamecube is used every weekend to play this gem of a game, and I even picked up the rerelease for the switch. I don't know what phenomenon called us all here, but I'm glad it did.
Wow somehow I’m the second comment in ten years… And the first was from three days ago. I love this song so much; I remember how when I was a kid I used to play it over and over by restarting my Gamecube when it would end. The game was amazing as well; one of my favorites from childhood. I’ve looked for this version of Spotify but no luck; nor can I find a RU-vid video of it looping for a long time. I want to fall asleep to this song somehow but I don’t currently know how. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Strange as this phenomenon may be, I’m actually only the third comment here on this video from 10 years ago with the prior two comments only posted within the past few days. I first discovered this song when downloaded the demo out of boredom a few days ago, but realized the song was 10x better than my skill at playing games so I’ve just been listening to this for the past 72 hours on loop. Totally worth it…
Guess I'll be number 7. I really like listening to this when working on projects, such as painting my warhammer army. It helps me stay focused on the end result. I also find it motivating.
Shit, guess I'll comment too. This game was amazing for me growing up, and it has just the most captivating atmosphere for a fantasy game. I heard this today and realized I'll be playing this song when I move out of my parent's house in a month since there are a lot of parallels there, and I'll be very emotional about it. Hope whoever reads this is doing well, and that this song moves you in your own way.
Hey! I’m the obligatory person who comments the lyrics on really any song that has them. Btw, I’m also the fourth comment, isn’t that totally rad? Here’s those lyrics: Dreaming of the stars on high That speak to me in secret sighs Drifting on a breeze only I can feel and hear Could it be the sacred wind It's calling me to now begin To walk into the dark carrying the light of tomorrow Beating are the wings up high Beyond the earth, beyond the sky Come now, don't hesitate Don't look back, we've got to go now Don't fear You'll be safe from now on Morning sky watching over the world Deep inside so silent Here my heart must beat Deep inside of me Memories flickering and shimmering on endlessly Keeping close to the path Morning sky watching over the world Moving over endless mountains oh so high Walking to the light Your heart will see the path and you will find the way Just wait and see Moving over endless sky oh so high Tomorrow will follow When above, your promise is today Just wait and see
Number 8 here. Had this song pop into my head out of nowhere while playing FF14 and had to go look it up. Have a lot of fond memories of watching my friend play this. May all who came before and all who come after ever walk in the light of the crystal
Ah yes, FFXIV, the only other (video) game that managed to capture the essence of such an art masterpiece as FFCC (and somehow surpassed it, for me personally). I couldn’t fathom that another game would be able to give me that same sense of wonder and camaraderie (and banger music 🎶) the way FFCC did when I played it as a child. Coincidentally (or is it…?), I am going through a major life change when I recently mentioned this song specifically to a group of friends. They remembered the game and love/d this song too. We also got to talking about getting a group together to play DnD, so I find myself particularly inspired to create/run a home-brewed FFCC-like campaign for them. 🔮 We shall see… 🧐😉 Let’s hope FFCC continues to inspire us all, especially those who end up being shown this video on a seemingly serendipitous whim by RU-vid. May we all always walk in the light of the Crystal. 🫶🏽💎
