遥か遠く 夜を越えて Haruka tooku yoru o koete Crossing the distant night, 砂漠の海を 彷徨う Sabaku no umi o samayou Wandering the desert sea. 神の声は 蜃気楼 Kami no koe wa shinkirou The gods' voices are mirages; 忘れられた人々 Wasurerareta hitobito The forgotten people. 影は白く 揺らめきたつ Kage wa shirōku yurameki tatsu Shadows flicker palely, then stand; 今ひとたびの 幻 Ima hitotabi no maboroshi For one moment, an illusion. 蒼く燃える 勇者の夢 Aoku moeru yuusha no yume A hero's dream, burning blue, 永遠に眠る人々 Towa ni nemuru hitobito The people, sleeping forever.
Just hummed this to my son to get him to sleep after ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle kept failing; he usually loves the latter. First attempt with this and it knocked him out. Thanks, Nobuo. This dad'll get some decent rest tonight.
This song [core song without the these lyrics] also became my lullaby for my kids as well. They are older now, but still request it! i play the real song for them from time to time. For whatever reason this is my heart song. First heard it when I bought the game when I was twelve (27 years ago)--it has been part of my life ever since.
it brings me tears... ffVI is my favorite game and is very very special to me, because i have so many good moments playing it, i laughed and cried in many chappters of this beautifull story, and it will be in my heart until i die
It was the first game I ever played, and I have been playing it ever since, never beating it. I restart when I get everything in the World of Ruin because I am afraid that if I beat it, the one thing that keeps my sane in this world will be gone. I have been playing for 12 years now. I started when I was 4.
wow '-' u know, i regret to have beaten the game sometimes, because the story ends and i want more from that universe... but no one never made something more about FF3
Caius Ballad wow '-' u know, i regret to have beaten the game sometimes, because the story ends and i want more from that universe... but no one never made something more about FF3
NyanChanDaisuki Exactly same thing happened to me when I got near the end of Lost Odyssey :(. After spending so much time playing the game and knowing all teh bakc stories and such, i just didnt want to get into teh final boss cause i knew after that it woudl be it and taht would be it since I had nearly 100%'d it :/
Close your eyes and listen to the song. What do you see? I see Terra, Locke and the rest of the group walking through the World of Ruin, taking in all the sights of people struggling in this world, animals slowly dying, red skies, polluted waters, barren landscape, and all concluding with the Tower of Kefka.
Very few songs can project wonder and fantasy and rarely can they bring a tear to my eyes. This is a spectacular masterpiece that can grip both effortlessly and sticks with you for hours, perhaps days, on end.
This song randomly inspired me to write an entire 160-page novel the first time I heard it; going for a walk in the freezing night air. When I begin to conceptualize a story, I become another person. One that, apparently, was so dead-set determined not to let anything ruin the initial train of thought, I snarled and barked like a feral animal at three dudes all in black on the sidewalk--my path otherwise obfuscated and blocked off. But I had to keep moving--no stopping at all, or the train will derail. So I snarled at them, as a lunatic would, to scare them away to hold onto what became my most-popular book to date. All thanks to this song.
Crossing the distant night, Wandering the desert sea. The gods' voices are mirages; The forgotten people. Shadows flicker palely, then stand; For one moment, an illusion. A hero's dream, burning blue, The people, sleeping forever.
I miss Squaresoft... Square Enix being, honestly, a failure in continuing the extraordinary quality of what used to be "Final Fantasy", not only the mediocre attempt of Squeenix at doing new "Final Fantasy" games but also the reminder like this wonderful piece of musical art that is Terra's Theme left me with a bitter taste of knowing that not even the clown who bought the rights for Final Fantasy licence can't produce a quality of the same tier as FF6 to 10...
Completely agree! I'm not sure if Mitsuda gets enough credit either. Some days I prefer one other the other but both have turned good games into works of art.
I always seem to find my way back to this song and this game. This game is a reflection of what strength really is. It isn't just being a badass character on a quest for vengeance or survival. Being strong is about having weakness of the heart and mind that you work to overcome. The real strength of the characters if this RPG masterpiece is that they still feel human. You can believe in their struggles. You can still empathize with them, and they feel all the stronger when you see how far they've come since their journeys began. The modern era of games can keep their "Strong Female Protagonists". Terra and Celes are the only two I need to know.
Its like 10 pm.. and these lyrics was stuck in my head... i had to sing it over and over to remember its from ffvi .. then i had to look up the title..... insomnia's kicking my ass
That´s damn true. We do not only like Terra because she was the first female main character in Final Fantasy, but also because we loved her emotional struggle of who she is and why she exist
This is so very beautiful. It really captures the beauty but also sorrow of the lovely fictional (and in my eyes)Goddess Terra wonderfully. I would love to be her lover if she were real.
Just started playing FFVI for the first time on iphone(controls are abysmal on phone). better late then never. This song brings chills all over my body. Just played the intro and I know I'm gonna experience something amazing
+Mr Music I have only actually played through a remake of FF1 for GBA. And that one isn't even that amazing of a game. You should play this one(FF6) for sure.
I wholeheartedly agree and have been saying so for years. FF7 was amazing but I always thought FF6 was the best of all of them and there's so many people who never started playing the series until FF7. It makes me sad.
This is fom the album Final Fantasy Vocal Collections I : Pray. There's also a second one : Final Fantasy Vocal Collections II : Love Will Grow. Not to be confused with Final Fantasy Vocal Collection, which doesn't contain any exclusive tracks, just various vocal themes from the games.
@DamascusTest I agree completely. It was arranged by Risa Ohki (who is also the singer), Toshiro Mitsutomi, Masatsugu Shinozaki, and Yoshiro Nakamura. This song is actually called Toki no Hōrōsha (Wanderer of Time in English), and it's from the album Final Fantasy: Pray. The orchestra used in the performance isn't named on the cd. This is one of my favorite Final Fantasy albums.
@7RadicalDreamers What I love most about Terra is seeing her becoming ever stronger and ever more emotionally confident as the game progresses. And what happens to her in post-apocalyptic Mobliz is golden - first she loses her fighting spirit to tend care of the children, but then regains it later on!
I played this when I was 5 and managed to get to the sealed gate and unleash the espers on Vector. After that, I left the game because it was too hard. Picked it up 10 years later, and was amazed at how all the music and the story blended together. Best game I ever played.
I love you for commenting that :) Zidane and Terra are indeed the best Duodecim characters :) As well as amazing games. Will alwasy love Zidane and Terra :) Its a shame they don't meet up until duodecim :) But i like garnet too a little :) Liked your comment :)
