I miss the old primordial holyland, feeling butterflies on my stomach waiting for a flash animation to load, finding the secrets in the video, pressing all the keys to see what they unlock.
"They'll be making these until the end of time!" This was released after Final Fantasy 10. We're at 16 now. In 2002, there was only one Final Fantasy 7. In 2024, there's 14.
I remember having to wait like 30 minutes for flash videos like these to load. Having to invest time like that to watch a flash almost made it more special and exciting when you could finally click "play". Good times.
i never recall it being THAT bad. it was only ever 5-10m for this to appear (do you recall the original Flash player site BEFORE it became well known software?)
@@oceanoftearsandpoems My internet wasn’t great. Also, I probably was loading multiple flash videos at once not realizing it affects bandwidth or whatever.
This is a classic from my childhood. I heard this so long ago but I cannot seem to get the words out of my head every time I hear the Chocobo theme! Lol
Man I remember watching this in high school back in 2005. Caught myself singing it while playing Rebirth and thought I’d come back and revisit the nostalgia.
1:59 "They'll be making these til the end of time." Relevant as ever. (Well, they'll have to stop at around Final Fantasy 29. Any attempt to search for "Final Fantasy XXX" will be met with some rather... _unofficial_ search results!)
Yup! I always thought the song was very catchy! As for LegendaryFrog (the original creator of this video), I'm going to be brutally honest when I say how ridiculously overrated he was on Newgrounds. I remember seeing him CONSTANTLY hog the #1 spot on the top 50 flash submissions when there were plenty of other great flash artists who deserved the spotlight more than him. Don't get me wrong, I thought his work was very well done (and still think that it's very well done), but it wasn't THAT good.
Growing up, I knew, like, three other people who even knew what Final Fantasy was. One was a prick who looked and acted like Jim Sterling, another was a fujoshi girl who I wanted to be friends with but who I ended up offending because I was even worse with people then than I am now. Only like games that are popular? Fuck them.
Huh? So many ppl played that Time FF14 and still do. So many FF Festivals and concerts (always sold out). Only if its not so popular in your country doesnt mean the same for the whole World. Lots of ppl Love FF and also KH
@@Healer0079a I find it hilarious that people think that's not a sarcastic dig at Final Fantasy's oversaturation around 2002, lmao. They genuinely believe people paid attention to the games magazines as some mecca of knowledge by the time the 2000s rolled around.
I still hum this to myself at work sometimes. I'm so glad I stumbled on this tonight; makes me feel like I'm nine or ten years old again. It feels like times were better then. Simpler. Really wish I didn't have to grow up, or that I at least slowed down a little and learned to appreciate my childhood more while I was living it. Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is, whatever cosmic forces or random string of coincidences led me here, I'm glad they did. I needed this.
You aren't alone brother. I was 12 or so when this came out. It's etched into my brain. Seeing it again brings me back to a much simplier time. A welcome escape from the day to day insanity.
This unlocked such a memory for me. I watched this in the early UA-cam days, interesting that it was on Newgrounds in 2002, never saw it. Good fricking times, sometimes this just pops in my head randomly!
Not even a final fantasy fan. But this is so endearing and classic internet and I'm probably as obsessed with these memes as this artist was with the games.
Nearly 21 one years old this song is... nearly old enough to smoke and drink and I still remember when this was new, sitting listening to it in high school with my fellow anime club nerds. Where the fuck did time go?
this is far older than 2008. it's pre UA-cam, i remember. crab battle? kingdom hearts Chronicles? all from the same place. also plot twist, this guy actually gets a wife.
YES. Thank you for commenting this so I didn't have to. My partner is sick to death of me singing these lyrics loudly while zipping through the grasslands
Final Fantasy Rebirth came out last week. Another FF game. Another time, I find myself singing this song whenever I get on a chocobo. Over 2 decades ago I discovered this on Newgrounds.
Thanks, I normally ignore people who dis me because of my pony pic especially if I commented on something that had nothing to do with MLP, but I appreciate it :)
Pesco congrats. You aren't the first person to tell me that. In fact you are the 100th person to say that. Hope you feel special and I'm thankful for your tolerance. Please come up with better insults next time okay?
FF6 is the only one thats really a must play. ff4 and FF5 are the other two highlights. If you have the time, Alot of people like 7, but its kind of overrated.
I know a couple of the characters from VII because I watched an anime movie with them in it (and had basically no idea what was going on), and of course I know the furry characters...
Yonkage Furry characters?? You mean like the people who dress up like animals and have sex with each other? The movie you saw was advent children if I had to guess. I thought it was okay, any fan would say it's always nice to get more ff7 content. But to be honest it didn't really add much to the overall story as a whole.
I had never played FF before I saw this I just liked the song now that I’ve played most FF games it all finally makes sense to me and whenever I ride a chocobo and hear this song I can’t help but play the lyrics in my head
This was the first thing I watched after getting high-speed internet access. Before then watching any type of multimedia on the web on dial-up was too slow. I'm not even a fan of Final Fantasy but my friend show this to me and at the time I thought it was extremely catchy. Watching it again in 20 20 gives me extreme douchechills but Nostalgic none the less.
I remember hearing this years ago on Newgrounds and thinking it was fantastic...Wish I didn't look it up for nostalgia, the lyrics aren't as clever and well written as I remember...
John Galois Yea I still found it amusing but as a whole, I felt a bit dirty inside knowing I remembered the song as being musical and lyrical excellence xD
Jim Tiberius Probably but to me, it just seems like one of those old flash videos from the golden age of newgrounds where a kid has worked really hard on his video but it didn't age well. Still, every time I get a notification on this link I give it another listen and get a warm fuzzy feeling thinking about when I first heard it, regardless of how well I think it's aged :)
I just watched this for the same reasons you did.... I can't say that it's any worse than I remember it, but it is pretty sad in hindsight. This thing was released shortly after Final Fantasy X... and the franchise has just been going downhill over the past decade. I can't help wondering if the maker's still near as interested as the song claims him to be.
Nunca jugué al final fantasy,no era mi estilo,pero una amiga que sí jugaba me enseñó este vídeo hace 15 años y hoy se me vino a la cabeza y he tenido que buscarla jajjaa es genial
Sadly,yes in more ways that one.Cod just plain sucks.And ff gas been going downhill. Dam squar enix and their stupid replqcement of developers. Ff versus 13 would have been amsing, but thqy scraped it, and rushed ff 15 instead. Stupid idots.
Almost 15 years later and Final fantasy is still best game, Music and graphic we ever play/listen/seen 😁 You should remake this video with all these newest final fantasy game! :) it would be awesome!

It’s been over 15 years, I still think abt this once a week
OMG RAE
SAME
I hum this all the time in the bathroom. Still.
SAME
Right?
An ancient relic of the internet created in the pre-youtubic era(aka the flashplayer age). found in the primordial land known as 'newgrounds'
This comment is godly.
I miss the old primordial holyland, feeling butterflies on my stomach waiting for a flash animation to load, finding the secrets in the video, pressing all the keys to see what they unlock.
Pre UA-cam? You mean the NewGrounds era?
This comment was an arrow launched four years ago and struck directly into my heart just now
Amen
every time I hear a chocobo theme somehow this song is in the back of my head
I'm from the future... FF7 remake is out now and I can guarantee that this is still something I'm experiencing hahah
@@FUBARGunpla lol yeah that's actually what made me remember this video
Same here since i first watched it long time ago xD
Have had this issue for years now lol -.-
I hear this in the back of my mind whenever I try to sleep

"Boss Nass"...like the big Gungan from Star Wars?
@@oceanoftearsandpoems My internet wasn’t great. Also, I probably was loading multiple flash videos at once not realizing it affects bandwidth or whatever.
Same, the 56k life
i got here by googling "i may have a shallow mind but you can kiss my behind". truly timeless and unforgettable lyrics
This is a classic from my childhood. I heard this so long ago but I cannot seem to get the words out of my head every time I hear the Chocobo theme! Lol
i here this every time i ride my chocobo in ff14 xD it has always been amazing :>
This and the Star Wars rap were the shit
Same!! Holy crap lmao
Man I remember watching this in high school back in 2005. Caught myself singing it while playing Rebirth and thought I’d come back and revisit the nostalgia.
1:59
"They'll be making these til the end of time."
Relevant as ever.
(Well, they'll have to stop at around Final Fantasy 29. Any attempt to search for "Final Fantasy XXX" will be met with some rather... _unofficial_ search results!)
Or they won't use Roman numerals for that entry...
Did you Skip Final Fantasy 69?because i sure did not.
34 might also be a bad one.....
Just in time to remake FF7 again to reinvigorate the JRPG genre for newcomers to the franchise
Guilty Gear skirted around that issue by calling X3 (Iguzaado) literally X 3rd. I'm curious to see how they'd do it.
thumbs up if u remember watching this on newgrounds in 2002
thats was exactly that ans watching also final fantasy A+ haha
I can't hear the chocobo song without thinking of the lyrics.
Please. I watched it on starterup steve.
WOW! When this was new FF10 was as far as they'd gotten!!!! HOLY SMOKES! The nostalgia is REAL!
Yup! I always thought the song was very catchy! As for LegendaryFrog (the original creator of this video), I'm going to be brutally honest when I say how ridiculously overrated he was on Newgrounds.

"I only play games that are popular I only play the games magazines tell me to buy"
clearly made before the dark times

True these days kid plays fortnite, Minecraft, PUBG & CoD we miss the times we use to play some awesome Games in old Gen era back these don't exist
Huh? So many ppl played that Time FF14 and still do. So many FF Festivals and concerts (always sold out). Only if its not so popular in your country doesnt mean the same for the whole World. Lots of ppl Love FF and also KH

ikr!

pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa, te ka?
"I wanna ride a chocobo all day"
I wish he sing whole song 😂 that would be awesome lol
Playing FF16 and got this song in my head and had to listen to it. Love it still after all these years 😂
That's why i'm here.
FF 16 sucks

it's weird to think that this will be 20 in a few years. god i feel like a withered old man
Twenty-five year jubilee coming up!
time marches on
This song has been in my head for the last 15 years straight. No regrets.
Today I remembered this song while playing Final Fantasy VII Remake
JONIE!! OMG HI! Big fan. I didn’t know you liked LF
I still hum this to myself at work sometimes. I'm so glad I stumbled on this tonight; makes me feel like I'm nine or ten years old again. It feels like times were better then. Simpler. Really wish I didn't have to grow up, or that I at least slowed down a little and learned to appreciate my childhood more while I was living it.

I remember there was an easter egg if you clicked the Kerrigan doll that Lulu is holding
Somehow this song played in my head while playing rebirth.
listened to this 16 years ago, and today it ruins travel for me in rebirth
This unlocked such a memory for me. I watched this in the early UA-cam days, interesting that it was on Newgrounds in 2002, never saw it. Good fricking times, sometimes this just pops in my head randomly!
I have no idea why this video popped into my head recently. It's like I needed to remind myself that the internet used to be full of gems like this.
Not even a final fantasy fan. But this is so endearing and classic internet and I'm probably as obsessed with these memes as this artist was with the games.
This was once the best none-TV animation I ever saw. Yeah.
This was made in 2000, let that sink in, 22 years ago.
It's crazy, because I remember when this came out.
That's crazy, it's 24 years later now.@@The_RedVIII
Nearly 21 one years old this song is... nearly old enough to smoke and drink and I still remember when this was new, sitting listening to it in high school with my fellow anime club nerds. Where the fuck did time go?
The animation in this video is so good and creative, it deserves an award! Props to you!
this is far older than 2008. it's pre UA-cam, i remember.
crab battle? kingdom hearts Chronicles? all from the same place.
also plot twist, this guy actually gets a wife.
I just asked that before reading your comment 😂
Good to hear he got a wife
OLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOLIOOOO !!!
KH chronicles... Now that takes me back
Think he's divorced now though.
It's amazing that it's 2016 and I'm still singing this song when I'm riding my chocobo in ff15
Sam Zinke me too! With promptos voice lol
*me finding this in 2023* I have at last reached the desired point of time.
I've been playing FF7 Rebirth for a week straight and fragments of this kept popping up in my head while riding the chocobos
YES. Thank you for commenting this so I didn't have to. My partner is sick to death of me singing these lyrics loudly while zipping through the grasslands
Thanks Corey and Oney
Can't believe it's been well over a decade since I heard this. Feels like yesterday...
Who here after Oney sang this on Slightly Artistic?
I am, are you?
Final Fantasy Rebirth came out last week. Another FF game. Another time, I find myself singing this song whenever I get on a chocobo. Over 2 decades ago I discovered this on Newgrounds.
Hope you are all enjoying FF7 remake
I haven't seen this in ages
Love the ending where Aerith got Sephiroth! How many of us wish that could of happened in the game!
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
I hadnt seen this in years but the second I hopped on a chobo in 7R I started singing it lmfao
Now I feel old...
Yer sad.
Thanks, I normally ignore people who dis me because of my pony pic especially if I commented on something that had nothing to do with MLP, but I appreciate it :)
Robert Baker I think that is the logic at hand.
Pesco congrats. You aren't the first person to tell me that. In fact you are the 100th person to say that.
Hope you feel special and I'm thankful for your tolerance.
Please come up with better insults next time okay?
+Robert Baker There are so many stupid idiots on the internet. Don't you agree?
Wtf how can I not get this song out of my head when riding my chocobo
After all these years this is still all that I know about the entire Final Fantasy franchise
dude! go play one
FF6 is the only one thats really a must play. ff4 and FF5 are the other two highlights. If you have the time, Alot of people like 7, but its kind of overrated.
AsTheWorldSpinsAgain why do you gotta be like that? James Selvog have you played one yet??
I know a couple of the characters from VII because I watched an anime movie with them in it (and had basically no idea what was going on), and of course I know the furry characters...

Well this takes me back 10 years. Thanks for posting it up. Haven't seen this video in a long time.
This song will never get old.
It remember me the best moments shared with my sister. This music is my life and my love for her :) thank'u LegendaryFrog
This song makes me "lol." I remember a friend and I used to sing this song when we worked at Subway.
Jesus Christ this STILL gets stuck in my head all the time. I like how I recognize a bunch of the characters tho.
Generic comment but Christ the nostalgia just kicked my teeth in
18 years later.
THE ANCIENT TEXTS
I'll never forget a friend showing me this video before UA-cam was even a thing. Shit, I remember when UA-cam wasn't even a thing yet!
Aerith got her revenge
I had this roaming around in my head for years ...god I remember back when newgrounds was a huge thing...rip flashplayer 😔 those were better times
This song lives in my soul forever.
I finaly found it again!
Ahh back in the days of the old internet, good times man
It's been so long since I heard this. Nostalgia overload lolz
Oh sure one day it may drive me insane......that's the line I hear in my head everyday.
Woah, nostalgia. This is one of the first things I ever remember watching on the Internet. Memories...
Whoa Joe Redifer from Gamesack made this song of my childhood?
"They'll keep making these 'till the end of time"
Oh how fucking right you were, LF.
NOSTALGIA!
haha this is so old...one of my first videos i've seen on the internet, period. i didn't even know what final fantasy was back then xD
came back here after rehearing the tune again in rebirth
I woke up with this in my mind for some reason in June 2021
Yes! I remember watching this new in the early 2000’s and it just popped into my head 11/2021. The internet never dies.
SO MANY MEMORIES.
haha its like a kick to the throat of memories
Memory unlocked.
I just today learned the guy who made this song is Joe from Game Sack. Blew my mind
I had never played FF before I saw this I just liked the song now that I’ve played most FF games it all finally makes sense to me and whenever I ride a chocobo and hear this song I can’t help but play the lyrics in my head
2002 new grounds is so true
Missed your work sir! XD Such fond memories ♡
thanks oney
core memory unlocked
I was playing final fantasy 15 the other night and riding a chocobo...and I was like WHERE DO I KNOW THIS TUNE FROM
0:26 putting this for myself
This exact video was how I was introduced to the Final Fantasy series those twelve years ago... wow
Jajajaja BEST SONG EVER!! "...and this is probably why, I'll never have a wife" 😂😂😂
This is one of my favourite flash animations to watch from Newgrounds when I was a kid, it will forever live rent free in my mind.
2020 FF7 remake anyone?
OMG I just remembered this and when I was a kid I LOVED it.
That comic sans tho
Oh Warkey we love your work despite it being old.
lol I showed my wife this. she said, " remind me why I married you again". haha
i have been looking for this for years and years!!! yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!
but...did he ever get a wife?
oh my god it's been a fucking decade since i heard this!!!! Praise our lord Oney for randomly singing it in his Inside videos and reminding me of it!
This was the first thing I watched after getting high-speed internet access. Before then watching any type of multimedia on the web on dial-up was too slow. I'm not even a fan of Final Fantasy but my friend show this to me and at the time I thought it was extremely catchy.

My friend used to listen to this a lot in highschool and it has never left my brain, it starts playing every time I think about Final Fantasy
we
are
fucking
OLD
I'd just typed "final fantasy consumes my life" and this came up. It's been like VERY long.
I remember hearing this years ago on Newgrounds and thinking it was fantastic...Wish I didn't look it up for nostalgia, the lyrics aren't as clever and well written as I remember...
Well im here for the same reason but i still laughed pretty hard at that "it consumes my life ...wont have a wife"-part.Didnt you too?
John Galois Yea I still found it amusing but as a whole, I felt a bit dirty inside knowing I remembered the song as being musical and lyrical excellence xD
the lameness is intentional and what makes the whole thing funny

INTERNET CLASSIC!
Along with Final Fantasy Gil Quest and the always outstanding 8-bit theater videos
When i first saw this, i didnt understand why my friends cheered at Aerith hitting Xephoroth.
Now i do. Now i do.
no remake yet? ca'mon dude....
I haven't heard this song in years it's still good
It should be "with Music by Nobuo and graphics by Tetsu"xD
Such Nostalgia, many great memories from Newgrounds' heyday.
If you replace "Final Fantasy" with "Call of Duty" it's still relevant.
Sadly,yes in more ways that one.Cod just plain sucks.And ff gas been going downhill. Dam squar enix and their stupid replqcement of developers. Ff versus 13 would have been amsing, but thqy scraped it, and rushed ff 15 instead. Stupid idots.
Heruru Meruru ome little difference:
- cod sucks
- final fantasy (until 10) does not
Call of duty is not a RPG dude
Almost 15 years later and Final fantasy is still best game, Music and graphic we ever play/listen/seen 😁
You should remake this video with all these newest final fantasy game! :) it would be awesome!
i luv this song, ive been looking everywhere for this. for posting this i will subscribe
