Super MadNES - Final Fantasy VIII - "Force Your Way" Official Video 

Absolutely right. The drummer scaffolding this shit together perfectly

I'm so glad the drums weren't substituted by a drum machine. What a dope arrangement this is!

Black Mages drummer falls utterly short on this masterpiece. This guy gives it the proper treatment.

If you're a drummer watching this vid you're probably aware that just performing this song note-for-note with professional-level tone and control is extremely impressive. I came to this video specifically for this! I wish there was a drum cam version of this.

Then you realize you can refine items into magic, and that you wasted hours drawing magic manually from enemies haha

@@meoantolin6955true! Only now you’re spending hours playing cards instead of drawing. Womp womp!

In ff8 you can turn anything into any other thing, most broken system in any ff.

I’m a huge FFVII fan, I love a lot about that game, including the music. It’s my favorite FF game. I also love FFVIII, & I think it’s an underrated gem. Even though FFVII is a better game than FFVIII for me, I personally think FFVIII has the best Final Fantasy Soundtrack, & I argue that FFVIII has one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all-time, it’s freaking godlike! 🤩

in terms of field map battle theme, its Those who fight from FF VII but if its boss theme, you gotta give it to Force your way from 8. And i hate the fact that I have to dance around once Man with a Machine gun plays during Laguna story mission battles. Cant help it

@@jettiful I agree the field battle theme is pretty meh. But I also think it being so mundane helps make you appreciate how awesome the boss battle/other music is. Somewhat unrelated, butt Sea of Stars has since come out and is IMO in the same league as ff7/8 in Battle OST epic-ness

@@Lunarcheese72 yeah I agree with you, I guess Nobuo-san was trying to push the boss theme of FF8 hence the field map theme is mundane

@Lunarcheese72: Well, better soundtracks tend to overshadow worse soundtracks. It's not rocket science. Great things tend to grab a large proportion of attention but apparently FF VII isn't allowed to do so; only other games are allowed to do so when they are good enough. Although this boss theme is probably one of FF VIII's best tracks, and it has many cool parts, it seems like a lot of them were only put there because they sounded cool. That's not a bad reason to include something, but in the context of an RPG, it probably is not the best reason to include something. I simply don't get the same impression from the FF VII boss theme. There was more going on when making it than "this sounds cool." I'm sure that was part of it too, that you wanted something cool, but then you wanted to take the cool stuff and make it meaningful and cohesive. If anything, the other parts of FF VIII were closer in quality to FF VII than the soundtrack overall. Literally 20+ tracks from FF VII sounded like they were good enough to be in the top three tracks of most other RPGs, and I think all of that _even considering_ how much competition there is in RPGs to have a strong soundtrack, and how many of them have a strong soundtrack. I was constantly thinking thoughts like "this track is just exceptional" and then remembering oh wait, this isn't even in my top 10 favorite FF VII tracks!

Because it's the closest to the original ;)

This is a correct assessment. This is my favourite Final Fantasy boss music and you did it justice and then some.

@@lake4ishikawa it's better.

@@Lunarcheese72 Disagree.

you are righht

Hasn't even reached the hundred milestone, surprisingly enough.
