I'm 8 years in the future from when this was posted and im playing the remaster of ff8 and this is still the greatest rendition of Dont Be Afraid on youtube. Truly a masterpiece.
BREAKING NEWS: "Hello, I'm Squall Leonhart." "And I'm Quistis Trepe. There is a gigantic T-Rexaur outside of Balamb Garden! We advise all students to remain calm and stay in your rooms as Squall and I kick some ass!!"
I've seen tons of remixes an re-orchestras. But this tops em all! Reason being is 1. You stay true to the piece yet still manage to make it sound original. 2. You replaced the artificial instruments with a full band and orchestra. And 3. Music like this puts a smile on people's faces no matter how many times they hear it. Regular musicians make regular music. But only true ARTISTS can re create a song into a true masterpiece! Excellent work. Well done.
This song was the thing that fascinated me most in my first play-through as a 10 year old kid. I'd hum the melody to myself and even to my friends to show its greatness :D Even heard it in dreams. And this is the best version ever.
for the remake we'll never ever get it sadly... I played FF7 Remake for my first FF, then I couldn't stand understanding nothing so I made FF7 and it was absolutely AMAZING. So I'm actually playing FF8 and I think it's very cool too but not enough popular to get such a treatment...
"Squall, you still remember?"
"The R1 is the trigger."
"Pull it just as you strike."
"Same for the Renzokuken!"
“T-Rexaur!!! Squall, be careful! Sometimes it's better to run!”
Lion's Heart
***** "They have Shiva!?"
That BGM should be "Force Your Way" when they fight Ifrit.
More like pull it as the actual slash effect appears from the sword strike happening a second before.

Looking back, FFVIII had one of the most epic normal battle theme songs. This is a timeless masterpiece.

I always thought this song would bring me the latest news,
I prefer for my news to be broadcasted by Shuyin.
cant be unheard you bitch :(
Lol thats hilarious dude.
"T-Rexaur!!! Squall, be careful! Sometimes it's better to run! Use the L1 and R1 buttons to escape!"
+Kirasaji Nokamura Equip sleep ST Attack
+Isaac Ognibene i go with blind ST attack, it work most of the time,
+Kirasaji Nokamura i think its L2 and R2 :D
+Kirasaji Nokamura cast sleep + blind. Use magic attack. it'll be defeated in no time. :)

All of your remixes are getting added to my Awesome FFVIII Remixes playlist for sure! Keep making MOAR!
Flawless remake. Thank you. This my favorite regular battle music out of the whole final fantasy series and this version can't be topped.
Its missing Quistis' whip sound.... :P
*Whatish*
Also the "pukpuk" from Zell's punches
And Irvine's "BANG"
+AkemiHomura93 Also the thonk of Selphie's nunchuks.
... No? Just me? Aw...
Selphie, the best third wheel in FF8

0:07 you forget the Quistis' whip..

Regardless of who might be in your party, in my head i always hear squal swinging his blade, and Quistis whip
This made my day.
LOL.
OMG so true :D
wow, at last something better than the original soundrack, i would engage every monster in the field with this remake XD
awesome!
Nice, this and Blinded by Light are my favorite FF regular battle themes.
Your remakes are just amazing ! Congrats mate ;)
The comment section seems to be lacking in Water
and Water
and Water Water
Even with Nobuo originally creating great music such as this, I love your work also! nice job, uploader!
If they remake Final Fantasy VIII, you HAVE to be part of the sound team! It would add to the epicness!!
wow ive looked for battle music from this game alot u realy made a great one im impressd by it
I wish I had an Hi-fi sound system for this song. ARRGH SO AWESOME
This is why I browse the internet late at night
You have a great ear, Bit Symphony.
I would pay a lot to see this played like live.

Very Funny
Wow
Finally a good remix!
I like this, Very good job.
Impressive!
I hope that square enix will take to do the soundtrack for the next remake of the series
The whole ff8 soundtrack > any other ff soundtrack.
CyberGothWannabe FFXII had very good music too!
Different composer tho.
+Edgar Buenfil And FFT too :) like Trisection :)
+Quang Thanh Yup. He is the same composer from FFXII and Vagrant Story. I recomend the OST from this last one as well! Cheers :)
Um a'scuse, I recently started playing FFVII seriously, start to finish, and I cannot stop humming the soundtrack.
Sweet
Man I can totally imagine Squall kicking ass while this plays in a remake.
for the remake we'll never ever get it sadly...
I played FF7 Remake for my first FF, then I couldn't stand understanding nothing so I made FF7 and it was absolutely AMAZING. So I'm actually playing FF8 and I think it's very cool too but not enough popular to get such a treatment...
God, you're amazing!
Man, you are good ! I like all the songs. Would be grateful if you could remake trabia garden's theme
Thanks! But Mr.Nobuo Uematsu is the man here, i'm just remaking the genius he is :)
Old times... :((
TRIGGER !!! R1 R1 R1 ...!!! OVERKILL! LVL UP! xDD love this bgm
perfect remake
that high pitch tone gives me a headache, except that it's really cool
Uematsu is the Main Man.
Crying tears of joy at how good this sounds :'D FF8 HD remake anybody? *gets shot*
I can see your a huge fan of Xenogears just by the picture alone
nice theme for a battle
I can still hear Quistis whip cracking at the beginning.
Four years late but I think we all can buddy, even if Quistis wasn't in our party at times, we still heard it.
The start of this needs more Zantetsuken
Same !.. ;)
this theme missing something (whipsmack!!!!!) now its complete.
lets not Forget "Yasunori Matsuda" who composed Chrono Trigger & XenoGears as well as the not so likable Chrono Cross.
Where have you been all my life.
i officially love you
If Squall Leonhart was in Smash 5.
Although I've gotten used to it, ffX's battle theme pales when compared to this.
14.000.605 % agree if they use this for Remaster version, but they should rework the battle sfx too for make it perfect
Can you do a remake of Never Look Back?
"Where i belong"
T-REX !!!!!!!!
hehe, sometimes i go to sleep too late, and usually i take some time to make this :)
You can hear the Draw sound.
Renzokuken!
+Sekiria23 Lion Heart
Can i use this song in my videos please
Water and water and water water
I'll finish this off with my renzokuken...
IM SORRY but all I can hear is "water and water and water water".... Thanks internet...
I have a request: can do something for Maybe I'm a Lion?
