I watched this 8 years ago, and I can only now appreciate the fact that you matched the lyrics with the video, for example Zack with "soldier", Tifa as a "civilian" and Aerith as a "Martyr"
I was going through my old favourited AMVs and stumbled across the original again, then saw it was remastered and F R E A K E D out. Still one of my absolute favourites, and still makes me goddamn cry like 11 years later from the original. Thank you for bringing it back remastered even if I'm 4 years late on this. 2020 and this still is incredible.
Whenever I watch this video I think of my little brother. I love that moment when Zach hands off his sword to Cloud. It's such a beautiful moment. Between the battle scenes and the brotherhood in this video I'll probably keep watching this video until the day I day, passing on my own sword to my younger brother.
this was you Andrew?! jeez I watched this when I was in 7th grade and was obsessed with it. thank you for a remaster of both ff and one of my fav bands :)
+amanda panda Yup! This was mine way back when :) I've had requests for years to remaster it in HD and now seemed like the right time. That's so crazy that you watched it in 7th grade...and super cool.
I'm not sure if you know how much this video is worshipped by myself and probably others. The amount of effort and heart put into this video really shows, its the best thing i've ever seen someone create in memory of a game and story. Thank you for the hard work and time you committed to this video, its superb!
I remember watching this video when I was like 5 or 6 had no idea what I was looking at or what game it was from, but being captivated by the visuals and cinematography. I just remember feeling so much and had no clue why. Such an amazing video that I still come back to so many years later.
No matter how many times i watch this, I cry each time. That's how good this is! I don't even know how many times I've watched this, I just know that I'm gonna keep on rewatching this in the future!
I watched this when I was a little kido and I got super obsessed with it, it was the first time I fell in love with a song and video, I searched my entire house for an mp3 and some batteries and I spent months listening to this. Im 18 now and still could listen to this all day. This amv and song hit me so hard when I was a kid I think it changed my whole life, I still remember the night I found this and Im taking that memory with me to my grave. Thank you
I first saw your original upload of this video soon after you posted it, and it was what got me into 30stm. After all these years I’m finally going to see them perform live and felt like watching the video that started my love for their music, and I’m so happy to see this remastered version! It is such an amazing video and the work you did to put it together is greatly appreciated!
Thanks Jenna! That really means a lot to me that the video had such an effect on you. I'm thankful for all of the kind words you and many, many others have shared. - Andrew
Took me half of the day to find this again after years not watched. I remember the beginning of the video and few parts. All along I had wrong band wrong song. Then realized its "This is War" Now my brain can stop teasing me. lol
100% one of favourite AMVs. Watched this years ago and still to this day I am moved by it. It's a story well told and syncs with the song as if it was meant to be.
so i remember watching this in high school like 8 years ago almost. and i remember cloud was my favorite character until i saw Noctis in this video, not knowing his name at the time, what i want to know is where is this footage from!? i must know, its killing especially with ffxv out now
Im greatful this is still up and around after all this time.... even with copy right laws and shit. They are really understanding with fans and not being dicks *Cough dragon force super smash bros cough*
There was about a year where it was taken down in most countries due to a copyright claim, but then for some reason the claim lifted and the video was allowed to exist :)
FF series is one of the best JRPG that is. Period. FF7 is the best, cliché may it be or not. This GMV captures the essence of FF games and thus this is my favorite FF GMV of all time.l
i HAVE to know , god please someone tell me what is the moovie/cinematic at 2:15 ? With characters from different FF in a same fight? Just discovered the old version today , what an amazing job !
I hope you are enjoying your succses.; I did express to 30second to mars your interpretatation was better. but hey you prob don't have a band, altough maybe you do lol
Lots of the footage has never been released in 1080p and so had to be upscaled. I tried to find the highest quality versions of each clip to use in the video.
