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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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
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.
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 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
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!
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.
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 ) :)
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.

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.
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 !
I love how each lyric of the song fits the context
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.

Final fantasy cut scenes and movies and music of Within Temptation are perfect combination.
god I completely forgot about this song. it's found its way back into my heart
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! :)
This song has been in my playlist since 2009 and it’s still on 😊
Within temptation the best band I've never hear! I love the Sharon's voice is so gorgeous 😻
2019 and had to look this up again cant believe this still can be found, this vid made me love the song

DarkLordoofDebate Bro, it's been a long time since you made this. Lol. I thought you wouldn't respond.
@Yena Same :)
I remember jamming to this as an 8 year old. Felt nostalgic so here I am.
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 quite literally the best AMV I've seen using FF7, and very near the best overall.
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
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.
Man this blew my mind in middle school and years later it still blows my mind.
This is simply beautiful. I love all the Final Fantasy movies. Yes even Spirits Within.
one of my all time favourite YT videos. Beautiful song, great editing. Thank you :)
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😊
this is one hell of a masterpiece.
incredible, fantastic, mind blowing.
Keep being awesome!
I love Within Temptation and Final Fantasy. You have done both justice in my eyes. I loved the video. Thank you for making it.
Goosebumps happen on WT's songs.You just get that epic feeling.
love the timing and literal words and visuals ("shield" and vincent covers the child)
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 have never seen a better video.thank you i love this song
and my favorite character is always Vincent
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.
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.
nice choice of the scenes and i love the way you strung them together. and using hand of sorrow was perfect for the video
OMG great video! The song fits oh so perfectly! I love Final Fantasy and Within Temptation! A combination of both just makes it perfect!
Wow. I'm simply awestruck. The clips are great. The music's amazing. It's outstanding!
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!
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.
This is absolutely amazing. I'm a huge final fantasy fan and a Within Temptation fan!
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
Amazing timing on both the music AND the emotion in each verse.
Well done!
Awesome characters and song. The song fits both of them so perfectly. A great piece of work you did here. Just great.
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!
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.
Woot! Someone else who hasn't played the games but loves the characters of Final Fantasy. Great vid 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
this video is by far one of the best FF7 videos i have ever seen on youtube exalent job
My favorite song mixed with FF7 advent and Dirge of Cerberus... this is amazing. Love it!
Also die Leute die hinter FF stehen haben sich da echt was tolles ausgedacht... und dein Video ist auch wundervoll gemacht...
This is a great song, and the video is amazing. Great timing, and awesome scenes that go well with the song.
this is the best FFVII vids i have ever seen, it is amazing.
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.
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.
Wow, that was AWEOMSE! it was really amazing, loved it! x3 nice job~
Great job! This totally matches the song and creates a beautiful story!
Within Temptation are amazing! I really love this song and Final Fantasy too^^
The memories! I'm so glad to see this is still around!
Worth watching over and over, as I'm sure I will! 5 stars!
Like I said on the org, fabulous action sync and good story - one of my favourite FF-mvs ever.
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!

Let me put it to you this way... this is how a brilliant AMV looks like! You're amazing!
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!
AHHHH!! THIS IS REALLY GOOD!!!
Omg. This is the best AMV I've ever watched.
5 stars, no doubt.
This song works SO well, it's scary! Three thumbs up and six stars!
You did an excellent job. I think you have a real future in editing. Keep up the great work.
This song suits the FF7 games so well.
i love cloud and Vincent and this vid fit them very well!! nicely done:)
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 ! 😍

one of the coolest of ff amvs ive seen
i was actually holding my breath at the end, and that has NEVER happened to me before. 10/5
Самая лучшая песня этой группы лично для меня.... Шарон просто выдает нереально)) Браво!
This vid is amazing. The song is beautiful and the movie sequences slides into it rather well. I give major props to Darklord. Your amv's r bad ass.
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.
Damn that sends a shiver down my spine, awsome song and awsome video.
Great work, seems just like if it was the official soundtrack, congratulations!
Wow, that was a really, really good music video. Very impressed. Excellent job with the timing and whatnot.
What's what? The seal of epicness? That's just some award I made up but this video probably deserves.
This is th best AMV I've ever seen. Amazing. I certainly hope You will make more of them like this.
does anyone else tear up during this song and video at times?
This is a superlative job of artful editing.

Awesome intro... It sucks you right in, making the entire AMV truly impressive. Nice work. It hit my favorites and my playlist. ;p
*squeeeee!* Vincent is so cool! And this amv really is awesome. Great job. ^^
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.
Dang still here after all these years Amazing video!
Very well spliced together. Good song choice for the story you intended to tell. ^.^
I saw so many FF amv, but this is surely the best.
this was the most beautifulest video iv ever seen
nice video, I really love it ♥ Vincent and Auron are my favorite characters from Final Fantasy, they both totally rock =)
This is just perfect ^^ very well done
i think you realy have a good eye for this, you captured the essence of the song. great.
that's how it's done.
dude, you're a pro at editing
I love symphonic metal, and the song was a great match to the video. Awesome job
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.
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.
awesomely done!! 5/5
final fantasy + this song = perfect
The timing is sooo good. Your edit are amazing ❤️
Can't believe I watch this video when I'm 10 y.o. Its really nostalgic to find this video still exist today.
Great AMV! Music is perfect with the shots you've used
