This AMV is my clearest memory of middle school and I think about it at least once a month. It is seared into my synapses. When I develop dementia and forget my children's names, I will remember this AMV.
When Crisis core reunion release the 1st thing i remember was this video, Hand of sorrow AMV, even after a decade i still remember this video. Dunno why but Within temptation music suit FF VII so much. Thank you for making this !
I must say this for it needs to be said "of the 48 other AMV for FFVII you are the only person to do the games and music justice in your videos." Thank you for them.
I come back to watch this video every once in a while, and it still gives me chills. You did such an excellent job of syncing up the lyrics and music with their stories. I'm glad this is still up - thank you.
Oh, this is such an amazing video. Found it by accident 5 years ago, but still in love with it! Within Temptation and FF7 united in one piece is the greatest thing that could ever be done. Thanks for that! :)
You can't imagine what impact this video had on me when i saw it the first time! I watched it over and over and over :) One of my first experiences with AMV's, but certainly the best. It gave my favorite WT song a completely new twist and I think you did a great job by emphasizing the lyrics visually! That is what I love most about it, thanks a lot for your creativity
Thanks! That sounds very much like my first experience with AMVs, and I'm glad my video has had the same effect on others that the first AMV I watched did.
I am totally crazy about the music from Within Tenptation and I'm Dutch so I had the great luck to see them live! Love FF and thanks thanks thanks for making such a wonderful AMV!
Even after 14 years, your video inspired me to create my own version but with the new Final Fantasy 7 Remake. I’m glad I got to watch the video that inspired me to make my own videos once again. This will be forever one of the few masterpieces of it’s time.
Patrick I will say this now. Of all of the videos you have produced to date, I can say with certainty that this is your best work. The synchronicity between the action in the video and the cadence of the song is superb. You can be proud of what you have done here. Good work.
Used to watch this video on repeat when I was around 11 years old (am now 24). Remembered it out of the blue tonight - been well over 10 years now since last watching
Honestly a beautiful AMV. It sounds really good (and creepy) when you have it up in two windows and you sync it. Creates a cool echo effect that goes nicely with this song, and adds extra awesome factor to the AMV.
I realize that this video is quite an old one now, but I wanted to drop you a comment just to say that it is one of the best for this song that I have ever seen. Excellent work!
I like to come back and make sure this is still around from time to time. I have yet to find a more beautifully done AMV/GMV. Been here since 2008 and will be coming back until UA-cam dies
don't know how often i've been watching this in the last few months. i gotta let it out again: this is the greatest amv i've ever seen. it has shown me meanings of several scenes i never noticed before, it actually makes ac looking good^^ a touching, great, great masterpiece.
Oh my god, this was amazing! You timed the video clips perfectly with the music, and it looked professional! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, amazing!
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Is all I have to say. Incredible. Lyrical emphasis .. or whatever you said you were focusing on .. just completely blew me away. I really can't find any words. Well done. Very well done. You have an obscene amount of talent. My congratulations.
This is a superlative job of artful editing. I don't usually enjoy FF videos with music that is not by Nobuo Uematsu because most of the time it seems forced or I find that the emotional content is lost, but this is a perfect fit, the song and the clips and the pacing just induces such an emotional response, it retainsns the high Square-Enix quality, thank you for sharing this, kudos to you ( I would so buy this ) :)
Yazoo and Loz come after him after he defeats Sephiroth and free's Kadaj, just as he is feeling its over, enjoying the touch of the rain from the heavens, when he feels peace, they shoot him in the back, but as we all know getting mortally wounded doesn't normally stop Clouds rage! The way he turns and runs back at them is quite an epic scene!
I love how you did the video. When the music slowed down a bit and then when it came back up the video/game had a super effect to it, like 03:56. I love those kinds of things!^^
Man I remembering when I mainly used UA-cam to watch AMV. Good times.
Can't believe this is still online. One of my all-time favorite AMVs!
Don't worry, I plan to keep this online as long as UA-cam exists.

Mine too 😍
This AMV is my clearest memory of middle school and I think about it at least once a month. It is seared into my synapses. When I develop dementia and forget my children's names, I will remember this AMV.
I love how each lyric of the song fits the context
Love it how you used Vincent and Cloud to show their emotional pasts
Two of my favorite things together, FF7 and Within Temptation! Awesome combination!
When Crisis core reunion release the 1st thing i remember was this video, Hand of sorrow AMV, even after a decade i still remember this video. Dunno why but Within temptation music suit FF VII so much. Thank you for making this !
Final fantasy cut scenes and movies and music of Within Temptation are perfect combination.
I must say this for it needs to be said "of the 48 other AMV for FFVII you are the only person to do the games and music justice in your videos." Thank you for them.

DarkLordoofDebate Bro, it's been a long time since you made this. Lol. I thought you wouldn't respond.
@Yena Same :)
This is quite literally the best AMV I've seen using FF7, and very near the best overall.
This song has been in my playlist since 2009 and it’s still on 😊
This is simply beautiful. I love all the Final Fantasy movies. Yes even Spirits Within.
god I completely forgot about this song. it's found its way back into my heart
2019 and had to look this up again cant believe this still can be found, this vid made me love the song
I remember jamming to this as an 8 year old. Felt nostalgic so here I am.
Man this blew my mind in middle school and years later it still blows my mind.
love the timing and literal words and visuals ("shield" and vincent covers the child)
Within temptation the best band I've never hear! I love the Sharon's voice is so gorgeous 😻
Goosebumps happen on WT's songs.You just get that epic feeling.
I'm not a huge fan of Within temptation but, this Kicksass, I hadnt even thought of Vincent with this song but it really goes well together
I love Within Temptation and Final Fantasy. You have done both justice in my eyes. I loved the video. Thank you for making it.
i have never seen a better video.thank you i love this song
and my favorite character is always Vincent
I am totally crazy about the music from Within Tenptation and I'm Dutch so I had the great luck to see them live! Love FF and thanks thanks thanks for making such a wonderful AMV!
Even after 14 years, your video inspired me to create my own version but with the new Final Fantasy 7 Remake.
I’m glad I got to watch the video that inspired me to make my own videos once again.
This will be forever one of the few masterpieces of it’s time.
Did you already make your own version? i want to see it!
This video is really one of my favorites here too, the song + Final Fantasy (+ the video) = ❤

This is absolutely amazing. I'm a huge final fantasy fan and a Within Temptation fan!
Wow. This is one of the BEST fan made music videos I've ever seen!
This is one of the best AMV's ever the song is just awesome. I have to thank you for turning me on to a new band that Ive never heard before.
This has got to be one of the best AMV's I have seen, great song and great choice of footage. I love it.
I was amazed by this comment for it was 15 years ago😊
one of my all time favourite YT videos. Beautiful song, great editing. Thank you :)
Finally! Someone made an AMV the way it is meant to be! You not only did timing well, but you put the lyrics in the right place.
this is one hell of a masterpiece.
incredible, fantastic, mind blowing.
Keep being awesome!
My favorite song mixed with FF7 advent and Dirge of Cerberus... this is amazing. Love it!
Patrick I will say this now. Of all of the videos you have produced to date, I can say with certainty that this is your best work. The synchronicity between the action in the video and the cadence of the song is superb. You can be proud of what you have done here. Good work.
OMG great video! The song fits oh so perfectly! I love Final Fantasy and Within Temptation! A combination of both just makes it perfect!
nice choice of the scenes and i love the way you strung them together. and using hand of sorrow was perfect for the video
Wow. I'm simply awestruck. The clips are great. The music's amazing. It's outstanding!
very, very nicely done. honestly one of the best amvs ive seen. great timing with the song and action in clips, very very well done.
That emphasis on the lyrical sync is what makes this video full of awesome and made of win! Seriously.
Definitely impressive to say the least :3
Awesome characters and song. The song fits both of them so perfectly. A great piece of work you did here. Just great.
The memories! I'm so glad to see this is still around!
Like I said on the org, fabulous action sync and good story - one of my favourite FF-mvs ever.
Within Temptation are amazing! I really love this song and Final Fantasy too^^
Used to watch this video on repeat when I was around 11 years old (am now 24). Remembered it out of the blue tonight - been well over 10 years now since last watching

Woot! Someone else who hasn't played the games but loves the characters of Final Fantasy. Great vid too.
I realize that this video is quite an old one now, but I wanted to drop you a comment just to say that it is one of the best for this song that I have ever seen. Excellent work!
Amazing timing on both the music AND the emotion in each verse.
Well done!
this video is by far one of the best FF7 videos i have ever seen on youtube exalent job
Worth watching over and over, as I'm sure I will! 5 stars!
Let me put it to you this way... this is how a brilliant AMV looks like! You're amazing!
MAN! That's got to be the best FF7 AMV I've EVER seen! I use to hate this song cuz a Twilighter used it, now I love it again! Thank you!
Good choice of scenes, and I even noticed that you'd managed to get them to sync with the rhythm of the music rather well.
I like to come back and make sure this is still around from time to time. I have yet to find a more beautifully done AMV/GMV. Been here since 2008 and will be coming back until UA-cam dies

5 stars, no doubt.
I remember watching this amv in year 7 and loving it and now I come back after 5 years and it's still awesome ! Of course the song is the best too ! 😍
Oh my god, this was amazing! You timed the video clips perfectly with the music, and it looked professional! At the risk of sounding like a broken record, amazing!
Great job! This totally matches the song and creates a beautiful story!
You did an excellent job. I think you have a real future in editing. Keep up the great work.
this is the best FFVII vids i have ever seen, it is amazing.
does anyone else tear up during this song and video at times?
i was actually holding my breath at the end, and that has NEVER happened to me before. 10/5
Awesome intro... It sucks you right in, making the entire AMV truly impressive. Nice work. It hit my favorites and my playlist. ;p
i love cloud and Vincent and this vid fit them very well!! nicely done:)
Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Is all I have to say. Incredible. Lyrical emphasis .. or whatever you said you were focusing on .. just completely blew me away. I really can't find any words. Well done. Very well done. You have an obscene amount of talent. My congratulations.
I've been wanting to use this song to make an AMV but after seeing this video I can't possibly imagine making a better one. Great job.
This is th best AMV I've ever seen. Amazing. I certainly hope You will make more of them like this.

*squeeeee!* Vincent is so cool! And this amv really is awesome. Great job. ^^
Also die Leute die hinter FF stehen haben sich da echt was tolles ausgedacht... und dein Video ist auch wundervoll gemacht...
I remember listening to this when I was in high school. Now I'm 30...
Yazoo and Loz come after him after he defeats Sephiroth and free's Kadaj, just as he is feeling its over, enjoying the touch of the rain from the heavens, when he feels peace, they shoot him in the back, but as we all know getting mortally wounded doesn't normally stop Clouds rage! The way he turns and runs back at them is quite an epic scene!
Wow, that was a really, really good music video. Very impressed. Excellent job with the timing and whatnot.
Dang still here after all these years Amazing video!
WT makes such epic AMVs. Good song choice. I think I even like this song better than I already did. So rarely see Vincent stuff, nice video.
nice video, I really love it ♥ Vincent and Auron are my favorite characters from Final Fantasy, they both totally rock =)
Damn that sends a shiver down my spine, awsome song and awsome video.
This song suits the FF7 games so well.
this was the most beautifulest video iv ever seen
ok this is awesome
one of the coolest of ff amvs ive seen
i think you realy have a good eye for this, you captured the essence of the song. great.
Very well spliced together. Good song choice for the story you intended to tell. ^.^
Beautifully done! I love how well you synchronized the song with the images.
I saw so many FF amv, but this is surely the best.
I love symphonic metal, and the song was a great match to the video. Awesome job
I love how you did the video. When the music slowed down a bit and then when it came back up the video/game had a super effect to it, like 03:56. I love those kinds of things!^^
Advent children is my favorite movie and I love Within Temptation! Perfect mix!
of all the emotionnal vids I've seen in my life, this one is the most awesome!
nice job!
Самая лучшая песня этой группы лично для меня.... Шарон просто выдает нереально)) Браво!
that's how it's done.
dude, you're a pro at editing
awesomely done!! 5/5
final fantasy + this song = perfect
Nice work man. One of my favourite songs put together with vid to make me stop the whole damned thing just to listen.... And to watch.
