Final Fantasy VIII - Eyes On Me 

My wife and I beat this game when it first came out. She bought it for me, and our relationship was like a fairy tale. Together from 15yrs old, never split, rarely fought, this song was her to me and she liked that. She's dead now, and I only come here to cry. That's all, I don't even like the song anymore. I just play it and cry for 6 minutes

Laguna seeing his wife's grave for the first time in over a decade always gets me.

You know it's a crime to end the closing credits without Squall and Rinoa's kiss scene.

Who thinks this and "Melodies of life" are the two most beautiful songs of the final fantasy franchise? I think they are :)

I love the part where Laguna and Raine hold each other after he proposes. You just knew they had a deep special love for each other. He keeps his ring on after all those years after her death. That's love. He has her buried where he proposed! This is so beautiful and sad at the same time. And it came from a 1998 video game lol

No matter how time passes, it is a classic that cannot be forgotten.

This game deserves a remake like Vll

People thought it was weird how this song made me cry. I was an 11 year old boy with not even a curiosity with romance, love songs, or even chick-flicks. Yet this song made me cry. Being 20 now, though with yet no experience in romance, and still holding back tears with this song, I still don't quite know what it is about it. The scene with Laguna and Raine hitting me while the song is still choking me up doesn't help, either...

Scene with Laguna and Raine kills my feels everytime :')

I remember those days when internet still doesn't exist, when you have to kill Ultemecia all over again just to hear this song... Good times, good timess

There is something utterly magical about this ending that words cannot describe. Laguna visiting Raine's grave is one of the biggest tearjerkers in history. All the characters coming together - I was glad to see even Seifer, even though he was a huge dick, having fun with his posse and looking up to the Garden with a smile as if he has grown as a person. Hands down, absolutely the greatest video game ending in history.

Laguna and Raine is the true love story of the game.

I honestly like Final Fantasy VIII more than VII. This game is criminally underrated!

This is the game that turned me into a Hopeless Romantic person. Squall and Rinoa are the best couple and actually gave me hope to find a girl like her one day.

Ahh the golden years of FF.

I love this game. I love the characters and how human they all are. I love Squall in all of his "adorable dork masquerading as a total kickbutt"-ness and his character development. I love Quistis as she is a total riot who gets some of the best lines in the game, yet still manages to be fairly sagely. I love Zell in being a believable reckless character, he doesn't have the IQ of a rock, nor is he super rude, but instead, he does have some common sense, but sometimes his temper/fear gets the better of him and cancels it out, who I sympathize with greatly. I love Selphie and her zaniness and quotable-ness. I love Rinoa as she is the one fictional character I could see myself in the most. I'm quirky and can be a total ham, I care about my loved ones dearly, I can be a bit insecure and hard on myself and prone to anxiety and sometimes I need some help, and what can I say, I really like stuff relating to Heavenly angels and I'd totally get a sweater like hers sometime with wings sewn on the back, and my wardrobe even mostly consists of blue and black by sheer coincidence! I love Irvine and how he is more complex than you'd think and not just your typical good time cowboy casanova. I love Laguna as he's even more of an adorable dork than his son (it must run in the family) I love how the story just flows together. I love how the game doesn't mess with your head but simply says good+light=good and bad+dark=bad, showing that crime doesn't pay and makes you root for the good guys. I love the music in this game so much. I love how the theatrical cutscenes can still stand up to some more modern CGI films out there. I love the little summon animation for the Brothers (ROCK PAPER SCISSORS AND MANLY TEARS I'M DYINNNNNGGGG! XD). I love how this game remembers to be lighthearted and not always serious. I love the Squinoa pairing, I really do (even though, in spite of what I said earlier about me and Rinoa being super similar, Squall isn't really my type; I'm more into chivalrous and gentle-hearted guys). I love so many of the little things as well as the more stand-out things about this game. And I love this ending (the part with Laguna's flashback and him standing by her grave gets me every time). It's so bizarre....I've picked up this game only two years ago just to get a taste of the ever-so-famous Final Fantasy series, and I didn't quite know what to expect: I just knew that this was one of the less-talked-about games in the franchise (which is a total shame since it's so surprisingly good) and therefore I was going in practically spoiler free (aside from "Edea was only being controlled and is not actually evil"), and I thought playing one of these games blind would be an interesting experience. I expected it to be one of those games that I'd like but wouldn't say it was in my top five, or perhaps one of those games I'd play for a while but never finish. I was most certainly wrong. This game hit almost all of the right cords for me; the music, the characters, the graphics, the story, the art style, they all appealed to me so much, and somewhere, this game became my favorite. ....The only things I don't love about this game are Seifer, President Deling, Adel, and Ultimecia. I'm obviously not a villains person. That, and the fight against Adel was probably the most stress-inducing boss battle I've ever had to go through (and I've been through a lot of really vexing boss fights from various franchises, from Young Xehanort to Ghetsis to Lloyd Reed and a few others in between, so that's saying something!).

It takes a heart of stone not to choke up a little seeing Laguna at Raine's grave.

There were 2 reasons to cry in this game: 1. The Ending 2. Gilgamesh appears out of nowhere in the Adel Boss Fight and uses Masamune to kill Rinoa

Happy 20th Birthday to the greatest JRPG ever.

The most romantic final fantasy.

I love Final Fantasy VIII, thank you SquareSoft.

THE best ending to any video game ever.

this never get old it get better with age my friend

Eyes On Me & Suteki Da Ne are two most incredible songs in Final Fantasy Universe

Do you know the feeling, when you play Final Fantasy VIII until the end, you see the cutscence and your heart beating fast, you tremor and then a tear drops down your face.

Finished the game last night, and all the ending scenes were AMAZING. Tears for Laguna. ;____; I'm in awe of how insanely better the graphics got from FF7 to FF8. Like... such a huge jump in quality my god. 0______0

BEST GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED

2:20... Laguna and Raine, it get's me every time. Every single time.

man that space dying scene really got me crying on that game

Who wants to cry with me ? Thumbs me up showing you're crying with me :(

It takes a lot to make me shed a tear, this however me cry a little.

I swear... this is going to be my wedding song!

Video games have really lost something these days. Graphics have improved astronomically but new releases can't hold a candle to old PS games like this and others. Or maybe it's me that's changed?

As others here have said, I wish that they would have a remake of this like what they're doing with FFVII. This game certainly deserves a remake for FF fans.

Wedding song. Going to happen. Don't give a damn. That one slow dance with my wife will be to this song...

Still love this game, 15 years later:-)

Quistis without Glasses is undeniably gorgeous.

I clicked on this video only to commnet on how this game had one of the best F stories ever... 17 years later, and I still don't have the balls to listen to this music again, because I know it's gonna hit me deep.

One of the few games that can make me laugh, cry, just every range of emotion from the start to the finish. I love this game. Must replay it again.

song of my marriage

I wish they made a remake of this game . Imagine at E3 2015 if they turned off all the lights and then the song starts while the image of a moon appears and a shot of rinoa'a back (just like the final scenes of the ending ) looking over The railing at the sea as the vocals came in. That would be the most emotional e3 in history. EVERYONE WOULD CRY ! I would throw my entire pants at the screen without even taking off my shoes

Someone in 2020 ??? Final Fantasy VIII FOREVER!!!!!

Bro, does it still make me a man if this makes me want to cry? :( This brings back some good memories of this game. Flip, making my eyes sort of well up! :/ I played this game back when I was like 9 or 10, and listening to this really brings back the feels! I am now 22 haha but flip, can't believe how much this makes me think back and remember the experience of playing this and the story line. It was pretty touching man. This game was something...

After playing FFXV, I came back here :)

I was 12 when I first heard this on my first playthrough... I'm 26 now and it still makes me blub like a baby!

Oh man these reminds me of the old days. I loved playing this game, it made me happy. I'll always remember the days of playing my favorite game that is Final Fantasy.

24 yrs later this still bring tears to my eyes...i have ps1, ps2, ps3, ps4, xbox 360, xbox SX, played hundreds of games in all these consoles..still ff8 holds the number 1 spot in my all time favorite game..

I think ff8 should be remaked!

I cried like a baby then I first beat this game..

When I beat this game, I felt that I lived a life. And I was happy I lived it.

AGh! Where those ninjas cutting onions?! Seriously! I remember how me and my classmates would always listen and sing to this song coz we all loved this game. Yep... Those wonderful memories... I miss being a kid. ;(

They need to remaster ff7 and ff8 completely and add surprises like map expansions and off missions and extra games, the generation that loved these games deserve that, these two games never get old but especially ff8 for me its more realistic taste, and i don't think voices will hurt as long as they remaster dramatic cgi cinematics genuinely. They have also released hd versions on steam so a new generation can fall in love with the originals! ;-)

even after all these years still my fav Final Fantasy of all love the ragnarok in space most ;)

5:08 Oh man, I used to love Irvine so much! Good times! 🥲

The way Raine walks up to Laguna before he turns arounds and smiles at him... just beautiful. You really see the love she has for him. Such an incredible scene and song. Timeless.

My favorite final fantasy what a great game😢😢😢😢😊😊😊😊😢😢😭😭😭😭

This song gives me the chills every time, I can't help but think about finding my soulmate when I hear this.

何回見ても鳥肌たつエンドだわ 特にラグナのとこ

ff8 my first ps final fantasy

このシーンはいつ観ても泣ける！ストーリー最高です！！

Remembered this at the game.. old memories come back😭.. btw 2018? Anyone?

Who's here after played FF7 Remake ??? I wish this masterpiece will get Remake too, especially those love stories and emotions Such beautiful game

For the record this is best video game ending I’ve ever watched.

Most memorable final Fantasy for me even in 2019

SPOILER ALERT Laguna is Squall's father.

One of the best FF endings ever.

FFVIII, I played to the end more than 100 times, only for this song. Back then, there wasn't internet...

Just am I wacthing the song in almost finish 2020!!! 😥 Life forever my childhood!!! You make me happiness.

Also this would make a great wedding song. Its just that beautiful

This song is just amazing and creates tranquility for me ! No song beats this one !

FF8 really healed our heartbreak over FF7

bruh i watched my dad play this when i was five, im gonna cry in my french class...

It's 2014 and i'm still madly in love with this song the the memories of playing one of the best game of all times :)

I love this song. I love FFVIII , the best!

That crossfade into the Final Fantasy, *mwah*. Perfection.

2024 and still one of my favorite Video game songs 🥹🥹🥹

A world for beautiful people.

Squall❤️Rinoa best game I ever played I would play it all over again

I literally finished this game less than a week ago. What killed me was Laguna putting the ring on Raine in the past, and then him visiting her grave in the present. Not-so-manly tears were shed.

nearly twenty years later this still gets me right in the feels

Squall definitely got his mom's looks.

I truly feel sorry for the younger generation that will never experience these games in their contained zeitgeists. FF8 had such an amazing intro and ending, I can't to this day think of a game that beats it in scope and emotion.

Great... beings back memories

I like to come here once in a while.

My favorite memory of this song is when I was at a Chinese buffet and they played this on the speakers.

first female CG character without boobs. anyway this is my childhood, blow my mind away when i first watched it

This is one of those few older games out there that still manage to hit me hard even so many years down the line. So glad I still own this.

11/2/1999 - 11/2/2019 . 20 years and i still love everything about this game

When there is a Balamb Garden of feelings flying over you...

Eyes on me > Suteki da ne. That is all.

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THIS SONG!!! AND THIS GAME...I WILL ALSO PLAY IT AT MY WEDDING...

CGがまだ発展途上なんだけど当時は鳥肌もんだった やっぱFFは恋愛要素ある方がいいよね

I-it's beautiful :') I cried with this game...

Imo, one of the best endings to a wonderful game. I feel like some of the later final fantasy games are trying too hard with the 'tragedy' theme in their endings. It's great, it's emotional--but nothing is compared to this: this sense of fulfilment after completing an incredible game, this nostalgia, this happiness that your characters are all well and will live a happy life. Gah, my heart is all warm and fuzzy

Final Fantasy 8 was an experience, it had everything an amazing game needed, strong characters, love, hate, betray, deaths, suprises, an outstanding score, great visuals, it could easily deserve a movie and a PS4 or 5 remake !

I can't tell what makes me feel more. This awesome game and this breathtaking song or the classic FF theme playing at the end. Both of them time are classics and just remind you how epic this game is.

2021 still listening. This song is legend!

2019 anyone? Can’t believe the 20th anniversary is upon us!

I came to say good 20th anniversary. Best FF ever. I'm replaying this milestone on PS Vita. Good memories...

I'm not crying. My eyes are just sweating
