[Video Soundtrack] Black Mage Village [FINAL FANTASY IX] 

Every little thing involved with this village was adored. Yes, even the bittersweet reality of how finite the artificial Black Mages were, with a sliver of hope their legacy would go on with their shared memories, and those extra Black Mages that Vivi was apparently able to create further somehow ... Whimsical, saddening, and touching storytelling all in one spot.

いつまでも長く聴いていたい曲 ビビのテーマ

One of the most memorable tracks from Final Fantasy IX.

When I talk about memorable VGM, this comes to mind first cause it’s got everything it could ask; 1) it’s memorable(beat and scene wise) 2) it’s unique(choice of beats,tempo and instrument) 3) it’s just *that* good

This one is very playful.

One of the best songs in any video game.

Things to do at Black Mage Village 1. Go to the Synthesis Shop 2. Listen to the Black Mage Village Theme

we all love Bobby Corwen

FFIX OST, in my strong opinion, is one of the soundtracks that has one of the more definitive track listing of town themes for the series

黒魔道士の村は心が安らぐ この動画のBGMがながれ癒される ＦＦ９には街にいる人とカードゲームで遊べるのだが対戦する相手が多い 対戦相手に勝つと相手が使用していたカードを貰うことができる だが負けるとカードを取られてしまう FF８から導入されたシステムではあるが若干ルール等が違う 沼にハマって気がついたら街中の人と対戦していた、いい思い出

One of the best songs in FF9!

Yeeeeah 😎

ボビィ・コーウェンの生まれた地 明るく怪しく楽しげな曲が重たいクロマ族たちの境遇にスーッと入ってくる…

Just beat this game! One of the all time best RPGs.

Banger.

No other composer within Square would do compose this, its so prog, its so Uematsu😂

Listened to this outside and the birds started singing like crazy. Truly magical song

Just release the remake already!!!

I'm hearing some FF4 Mysidia and FF4 Samba de Chocobo DNA in this. Such an interesting funky song. Uematsu san is a genius!

これもビビのテーマの他に過去作フレーズ入ってるよね、めちゃくちゃすき

Childish Playful Funny

Awesome [Video Soundtrack] Black Mage Village [FINAL FANTASY IX] Video.

looks like you made it home Vivi.... :3 ☺🥲

This is going to become an empty village in several years because there is no more mist.

Give me the usual

Knowing that Square Enix is in bed with Sweet Baby Inc. I wonder if Dagger and Eiko are still female? 😂

Didn't really like the cover when he started to up the tempo and made it an upbeat song. The beginning and end of the cover are great tho.

0:45 Vivi "They were talking! There ARE others like me!" Well technically, the Black Waltzes, which are also Black Mages, also talked, and even the Black Mages you saw before also talked, they just only said one word. ("KILL!") [Vivi runs off. Dagger runs onto the screen] Dagger "Why would anyone build a village in the middle of a dying forest...?" Zidane "Beats me..." Uh, you guys do realize that the forest here isn't dying, the village is full of perfectly healthy trees, did you miss the part where the place was clearly hidden by some spell? And I'm going to answer your dumb question, Dagger, with an obvious answer: to HIDE! Dagger "Where's Vivi?" Zidane "He went that way... but I... Hey!" [Dagger runs to Vivi's direction. Quina walks onscreen] And of course Dagger just keeps running off, not considering Zidane's feelings. Quina "A village! Village always have good food. I go find!" Do Black Mages even eat, considering what they actually are? [Quina runs off] Zidane "Geez, you people..." For once, Zidane is being the relatable one here, but it's funny how he says this kind of thing now and not anytime before, like when he should have called Dagger out on her idiocy and drugging him. Quina "I not believe you. You eat egg behind my back!" Black Mage No. 33 & No. 111 "No way!" Again, what makes you think the Black Mages even eat at all, Quina? (I mean, yes, we technically saw Vivi eating at the Festival of the Hunt feast, but that doesn't negate the question of why would he even need to eat, considering that the Black Mages are supposed to be like golems) [In a shop, a Black Mage is behind a counter] Black Mage No. 163 "According to the book I picked up last week..." "...the customer says 'Give me the usual' when he wants to buy something special." "What would I do if a customer asked for 'the usual'...? Being a shopkeeper is really hard!" …a Shopkeeper… in a village of Black Magicians, located on an almost uninhabited continent in a forest, hidden from the whole world by a spell, and yet the village has a HOTEL and SHOP in it, that are completely pointless? (Since other people are not supposed to come in) [A black mage runs outside] "The humans are here!" Black Mage No. 163 "What are humans...? I forgot..." "Are they a type of food?" "Huh!?" "A human?" "Um..." "..." "I forgot what to say..." Are you serious? Aren't you Black Mages supposed to be Gaian souls (many of which should be human) that have been placed into artificial bodies? (I will be getting to that can of worms when the time comes at the Iifa Tree and later) Also, haven't you seen humans before coming to the Outer Continent, considering that you were probably commanded or watched over by some human Alexandrian grunts? 1:43 Black Mage No. 288 "We escaped together from Alexandria and the cargo ships." Vivi "This far!?" Black Mage No. 288 "That's right. We wanted to live in a world where there were no humans. To find that, we had to cross the ocean." When did this happen? Also, wouldn't Alexandria have noticed a large amount of Black Mages going missing and escaping from the harbour since they clearly stole some ships? Also how did the other mages escape from the cargo ships and get here? They can't have hijacked the Cargo airships since those can't function without Mist, and there is no Mist on the Outer Continent. We don't even see the sea ships that the mages used to get here… Unless they were used to make the houses, but that isn't really elaborated upon. Black Mage No. 32 "What's a 'joke'? Is it scary?" Really? They don't even know what jokes are? I have two things to point out: First off, they've never ever heard of any jokes from the dwarves? The second reason ties back to what the Mist (which the Black Mages come from) really is, which again, we'll get to it when we get to that reveal.
