I will say this dancing mad from final fantasy 6 and serpent eating the horizon from bravely default. Are about equal in how terrifying they sound with full orchestras. Boss wise I think both would be friends.
Except he did not. His goal was endless destruction, not ruining a world and ruling it. Kefka wanted to kick away every "sandcastle" that would ever be tried to be built so nobody would even try it anymore.
Finally, a version that does the chanting justice. Almost every cover of Dancing Mad I've heard massively undersells the intensity of the chanting & the choir.
People always talk about Sephiroth when they talk about Final Fantasy villains. But this guy here? He's the Joker in anime form: Seemingly silly, but in reality the most cold blooded murder in the entire series. He literally became a god and unleashed an apocalypse, ruining most of the world just for giggles and lols, then literally just sat on top of a mountain and laughed at everyone else's misfortune all day, every day, until the heroes finally came to defeat him.
Still think Sephiroth is the much better character as he actually has depth and dimension (and of course, style), but I'm glad to see a Kefka fan actually describe him accurately for once instead of "Hurr he blew up teh wurld, der was no secund half of teh gaem! Cid and Shadow died an dat wuz de onle outcom!" If I'm being 100% objective, easily the best FF villain is Kuja. He's not as funny, but is otherwise Kefka on steroids except three-dimensional in terms of character. Glad to see an objective fan in youtube comments for a change. Also this song is amazing.
@@no.402 Kefka's entire motive was that he gets off on blowing shit up and seeing people die. Sephiroth's motive was that he was lied to his entire life, went insane upon learning the horrifying truth of what he really was, decided he was going to wipe out human life and start over, creating a shining utopia full of genetically engineered beautiful Jenova babies with himself as their heroic founder due to his warped perception of justice after he went crazy at Nibelheim.
@@bigdaddynasty69 Sephiroth's massacre of Nibelheim kinda parallels Kefka's Doma. Except one simply poisoned a well where the other set the whole town on fire, picked up his sword and started slicing. But the real champion of mass-murder here is easily Kuja. Pretty much did what Kefka did but to literally every civilization on the planet, and then actually destroyed a planet, not like Kefka just leaving the world in a post-apocalyptic state and just waiting for you to come kill him. Kuja actually reduced an entire world to dust.
Heed the first movement, remember the destruction of the world. Now, behold the destruction of life, dreams, hope; it is the fate of all things. Heed the second movement, and stand in awe. Now, behold your former vain attempts at stopping the inevitable. Heed the third movement, this is the power you oppose. Now, behold your savior and god; there is no salvation, prayers fall on deaf ears. Heed the fourth movement, the skies are tearing apart. Now, behold the wild dance of a charming star.
@@FalKKonE I seriously can't get over how amazing this is. This brings me such joy in my little world of chaos. To think I almost settled for listening to the original (which is still amazing). Thanks for making this!
final fantasy 6's final boss was truly the best in the entire series, you had to use like 4 parties filled with different characters to fight each segment and part of the boss, you utilized almost all the characters to fight the boss, something you never do in all the newer games, truly the first game with a raid boss as its final boss, very well done boss and a good fight if you aren't extremely over leveled. i feel like this is how final fantasy final bosses should be, a combined effort of all of the characters to bring them down and not just one single party with the others sitting in the background, having all of the characters you went through the game with, all their stories meeting up at the same end point of a final battle with all of them engaging in, that is how it should be, that is the most bad ass kind of final boss and story sequence.
Sadly (?) I had everyone at lvl 80 (at least) for the final fight, so I ended up beating him with only one party and an extra character bc Mog was beaten almost at the end of the 3rd phase

So this is the one 18-minute track? If I know FalKKonE was talking about Dancing Mad I should've voted for that. Anyway, Great work! Btw I like how during the beginning it say "Such meaningless patrons..." XD And wtf I just noticed that every video has different sentences regarding the patreons.
Gotta say, even in the remix my favorite parts are the first and final movements. The raw anger and that brief emotional break in the first phase set the tone of "this is the final battle - everything you know and love rests on this. No pressure." while the final fight switches between outright *insane* anger, lashing out indiscriminately before switching to a tone that pities the final boss even after all the crap that set you through, as if he realizes exactly what he's done and knows how screwed he is and there's nothing he can do to stop it aside from returning to that indiscriminate rage.
The awesome thing is I found this right after the patch 4.2 trailer for final fantasy xiv went live... and this makes me so hyped for said patch. dancing mad is making an appearance in it and they have pretty much confirmed that everyone's favorite ff clown will be making an appearance!

6 has like a very personal business of each character towards the main villain, everyone is really personal about going for Kefka's throat As for 7 the really personal one was only Cloud, the rest were just like tag along or got drag into the business unintentionally So in term of villain 6 is over 7 But in term of story telling both are kinda match up pretty well
@@welennelew9866 I'm aware this a highly subjective matter, but I feel like FFVII story is uselessly "complicated" in the second part of the game while FFVI storyline is clear from start to end eventhough it's really detailed. Like a real classic should be. On the other hand you could say FFVII is the real premises for all the modern Final Fantasys in term of setting. Again this is just a passionate yet modest opinion.
@@lordgogo2686 if that's how you evaluate a story or plot then I would also like to say 9 is also kinda better than 7 7 lore has gotten too deep for its own good, while 6 and 9 are clear cut about what they were going to tell and finished it where and when it should be 7's plot has gotten kinda convoluted after all these years with those prequels, sequels, and spinoffs
I've been waiting for this day to come since I heard the One Winged Angel cover you made. I've been listening to your work for almost a year now, and I have to say this is your best cover yet.
I found FalKKonE through the Eternal Jukebox. Just to give you an idea of the significance of that, NONE of The Black Mages' songs are on there, and they've got NOBUO UEMATSU HIMSELF on the synth. So. FalKKonE. Good work. Please keep up your metal godliness.
Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life, knowing that they must someday die? ...Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do? Kefka Palazzo
meaning is a concept created by humans, to help them understand things and it got nothing to do with human's mortality. knowing that yourself in particular and humanity in general will die anyway, the best way to go now is just focus on your life, and make it meaningful, at least to yourself. it doesn't matter what will become of us; what's matter is how we are living our life
*FIRAGA!!!!!* *CURAGA!!!* *explosions on the background* Player: finally.....done Kefka: this is not even my final form! HAHAHAHAHA player: So you say....... *MEGA-ELIXIR* *_[ROUND 2]_* 11:55
I just sat and listened to this. It's beautiful. It perfectly shows what the original song was supposed to be and how it should be remade. Perfection. (Insert obvious comment joke. )
Most definitely! Although this rendition is magnitudes beyond the original that it makes up for it. The laugh would have just elevated this so much though.
Kefka didn't exactly destroy the world, more scarred it. Mateus became a god before Kefka did, Exdeath destroyed the world (temporarily) before Kefka did. Kuja straight up glassed an entire planet and then destroyed the source of all life, then more or less decided to undo what he'd done. Caius is arguably the first to successfully accomplish both; destroying a world (technically) and being a god.
If Kefka Actually Destroyed The World, The Entire Planet Would Be Lifeless & It Would Explode... Which Didn't Happened (Thank Naga) & In The Ending, The World Is Being Rebuilt... Somewhat...
The sound of cacaphounous madness. How the viscious metal tickles my head. How those crazy piano chords enrapture my mind. Yes, I can feel it. Embrace maddness.
This. Is. Awesome! I always thought the Part IV from the original had this Metal feel, it is my favorite and couldn't get any better than this! Thanks!
my 2 favorites villains are Kefka (and Dancing Mad as a theme) and Sephiroth (and One winged angel as a theme) you covered both; and it was perfect. Thanks you falkkone :)
And that's actually one of the scarier things about him... he actually WON. He became a god, reshaped the world, and bested the heroes trying to stop him, breaking their spirits and scattering them across the world! If Celes hadn't managed to drum up the courage to drag the other heroes back into the fight, Kefka might have ruled forever. O.o
100 points to Gryffidnor!!! minus 15 for not laughing Mr. Kefka... Kefka: ITS MY MUSIC I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!!! Wait and why the hell am I in Gryffidnor… Teacher: Professor Snape was afraid you'd poison him... Kefka:...I mean he's not wrong...
The intense vocals along with the metal guitar and magnificent piano just make it a *mwa* mastapiece 🤌 the music was already awesome in game but dude you did amazing! I know this is five years old but dude I love this and will continue to listen to this til I cant hear anymore. An insane theme for a insane God
I just wanted to tell you this is the BEST cover I have ever heard of this masterpiece. Dancing Mad is my favorite FF song ever and this fills me with energy and stuff. Good job! I love this. I’ve been listening to it nonstop!
To me it sounds like the perfect mixture of symphonic and Prog metal. This remix to me sounds like what would happen if Dream Theater and Nightwish got together for a song
The real question is have you tried listening to both at the same time lined up perfectly? I am right now. It's crazy at first until they get jumbled lol
Usually the ending would be my favorite part of this song, but damn, the segments @ 6:21 - 6:41 & 8:02 - 8:22 are so powerful, get your air guitar out!
Holy shit I’m gonna have a crazy ass leg day lol thanks so much for this man. I’ve never played FF6 but have listened to many versions of dancing mad and brooooooooo this is in my top 3 for sure kudos :)
If I may be so bold as to make a casual criticism on this: Phases 1 - 2 and 4 all hit their marks of what this piece should sound like. However, phase 3 sounds off in the tone that the fight is supposed to represent; which also sadly effects the tone of phase 4 following after. Phase 3 when Kefka dawns the angelic form and the sound fades to simple chorus and organ, he is supposed to be boasting of how divine he is. Of how his way is supposed to be that of the correct path. That though he embodies the overwhelming demonic power from phase 1 and the thoughts of all humanity incarnated with mockery in phase 2, this was supposed to be looking down at his foes telling them that they stand no chance. That they are pathetic for trying to fight someone of a higher plane. That they cannot comprehend him and he is above all others. Meanwhile, your phase 3 has more of a heroic victory kind of tone: the heroes are winning and Kefka is slowly falling down. While your rendition sounds great and is very pleasing to the ear, it is so filled with hype that you miss the mark of how that piece's tone is. Which - sadly - downgrades the fourth piece. Instead of Kefka coming down saying "Now we shall end this, one way or another. I am not holding back anymore." where he will accept defeat gracefully in silence, yours makes it sound like Kefka is dawning a more stressful form. A last resort that he had no intentions or understanding of ever going into. Instead of dawning what should be that of a Godly aura, your third phase makes it seem like a panic move. Which when it comes to the end, he isn't falling down in silence but you would possibly hear him screaming - wrything - and angerly unnacepting his defeat. Which doesn't fit Kefka's identity. It could just be me, and I could just be over annalizing; but that is I hear it. Be it unintentional on your part, I am sure. If I was making a metal symphony, I would probably not do any better. If I was in your shoes it would be the same thing I would have done. It all sounds great, but that is possibly the one gripe I could give this piece. You do amazing work, and this is no exception. It is fantastic. I just wanted to speak up a little bit on how I interpret that third phase and what it does to the meaning of the final phase.
I have to disagree with your analysis of the time for the third phase. Kefka's still playing with you during the third phase, you've yet to reach his pinnacle, and during this time, you are having more of his almost childlike demeanor from the early portions of the game. He was explosive, and aggressive. Then, you find out all along he's been doing nothing but toying with you, the entire time. I think the aggressive tones that give way to the heavenly chorus that paid just before you face the final phase is the embodiment of Kefka.
He needs to do Terra's theme, Celes' theme, and Dancing Mad before anyone is allowed to be finished covering this soundtrack. Even though every _other_ song in the game is good too, those are the essentials.
lets just say that my relation with dnd is kinda weird the dm im playing with likes mystery and realism so its basically a dark ages simulation with some magic in the background as an afterthought. Oh and if you find any monster youre fcked.
I know I made another comment a week ago, but this just hit me now: Combine the 4th movement of this track with the calm phase of the one other extremely popular Dancing Mad symphonic arrangement's 4th movement (apologies that I forgot the name off-hand, I'm on mobile typing this) and the vocals from the 4th movement of Distant Worlds' version (and of course, add the Kefka laugh). Then combine the 1st movement from here and Distant Worlds' vocals, and then combine the other arrangement's 2nd movement with Distant Worlds' vocals and use the other arrangement's 3rd movement. I know it sounds really specific, but in my opinion those are the best interpretations of the what each segment of Dancing Mad represents.
So I'm not the only who thinks about a Frankensteinian patchwork of various covers that, when combined, would make the perfect version of this song. The perfect version would NOT include the drums from this cover, though.
Part one is a solid favorite of mine... and then part four started. Oh my. Oh my my. What did Kronk say? Oh right, "Oooh yeah it's all coming together."
That's funny because my Tiger Electronics Handheld Solitaire game just listened to this and now it's a full blown gaming rig complete with a RTX 2080 Ti, Intel i9 9980 18 Core Extreme Edition, 128gb DDR4 4000mhz RAM, 4K 144hz G-sync Curved Ultrawide 3D gaming monitor, and one-of-a-kind robot that feeds you and give you massages while playing, has realistic double D boobs. I still only use it to play solitaire though. 🤷
@@pussymastermpampinos9039 What a shitload of fuck! This game sucks shit through a straw! What the fuckkkkkkkkk were they THIIIIIIIIINKIIIIIIIIIIIING??????
Not bad by any means. I actually really liked it...however I have a couple of grips, mostly with builds up...like at the beginning, I think it was a slight mistake to start with heavy fast drums instead of building the mood like the original. Still and regardless, it is a hell of an arrangement. Keep up the great work man.
so, technically, I made this track the very way I like it, and you're telling me it's a slight mistake since it's not the way you like it? smirk smirk wink wink
Definitely shouldn't have used the word "mistake" since is not a mistake in any way,i was just giving my opinion since i believe one of the reasons this piece is so iconic, is the mood and the atmosphere each section represents...i'm glad you like it the way it is since it's indeed your work and i've been a fan of it for a while now, sad to see you thought it was an entitled comment.
don't worry, I was just slightly teasing you about that use of the word :) I got your point of view, of course Having 100 people doing their arrangement, however, every single one would do it differently, and that's the beauty of music ;)
I do agree that an arrangement could benefit from not being so "solid" all the way through. It's hard to feel the power of the more powerful moments if the whole thing is max energy all the way through, if that makes any sense. Still the best metal version of DM on YT though.
Shall we dance? Or R U mad? 😏

And Ganon is the other :¶

@@Cetra29
After Kefka died, magic ceased to exist and the world was left in ruin. He won and had the last laugh.
Ardyn succeeded in everything he set out to do, though it was more a mandate of the gods.

But in term of story telling both are kinda match up pretty well
@@welennelew9866 I'm aware this a highly subjective matter, but I feel like FFVII story is uselessly "complicated" in the second part of the game while FFVI storyline is clear from start to end eventhough it's really detailed. Like a real classic should be. On the other hand you could say FFVII is the real premises for all the modern Final Fantasys in term of setting. Again this is just a passionate yet modest opinion.
@@lordgogo2686 if that's how you evaluate a story or plot then I would also like to say 9 is also kinda better than 7
7 lore has gotten too deep for its own good, while 6 and 9 are clear cut about what they were going to tell and finished it where and when it should be
7's plot has gotten kinda convoluted after all these years with those prequels, sequels, and spinoffs
I've been waiting for this day to come since I heard the One Winged Angel cover you made. I've been listening to your work for almost a year now, and I have to say this is your best cover yet.
Thanks! Glad to hear ^^
I found FalKKonE through the Eternal Jukebox. Just to give you an idea of the significance of that, NONE of The Black Mages' songs are on there, and they've got NOBUO UEMATSU HIMSELF on the synth. So. FalKKonE. Good work. Please keep up your metal godliness.
4:52 that transition is godly
Ahhhhhh. After a LOUD day at childcare, this music is something I can enjoy, especially after I have been wanting this for so long. Feels so good.
Why do people insist on creating things that will inevitably be destroyed? Why do people cling to life, knowing that they must someday die? ...Knowing that none of it will have meant anything once they do?
Kefka Palazzo
Well, Hes not wrong.
I mean we're here, why not do something with it. What's the alternative?
Meaning is arbitrary
Some say things have meaning because they will be destroyed
I say We give things meaning due to various reasons
Eh. I don't think it's particularly deep tbh. What is meaning in itself? Once you answer this you got your answer to all of those questions.
meaning is a concept created by humans, to help them understand things
and it got nothing to do with human's mortality.
knowing that yourself in particular and humanity in general will die anyway, the best way to go now is just focus on your life, and make it meaningful, at least to yourself.
it doesn't matter what will become of us; what's matter is how we are living our life

+Ven "Ok, I believe you"
I dont usually comment on many videos but all of your covers are a gift to my ears.
Especially during intense matches in games :) thank you very much
This is pretty good. As a FF VI addict, I can feel the epicness of the battle
You seriously spoil us - this is fantastic!
Probably the best OST ever made in video gaming History for an final boss ! Masterpiece
I just sat and listened to this. It's beautiful. It perfectly shows what the original song was supposed to be and how it should be remade. Perfection.
(Insert obvious comment joke. )
the only thing keeping this from being perfect is that there is no kefka laugh in it T.T
We probably couldn't comprehend an actual recorded laugh of Satan himself... so it was removed from the mix most likely .-.
@@DrewCross I heard the laugh:
"HAHAHAHAHO!"-Kefka
Most definitely! Although this rendition is magnitudes beyond the original that it makes up for it. The laugh would have just elevated this so much though.
No fwoo fwoo fwoo.
Most JRPG villains have one of two goals
1: Destroy the world
2: Become a God
Kefka did both...
Suck it Sephiroth!
Kefka didn't exactly destroy the world, more scarred it. Mateus became a god before Kefka did, Exdeath destroyed the world (temporarily) before Kefka did. Kuja straight up glassed an entire planet and then destroyed the source of all life, then more or less decided to undo what he'd done. Caius is arguably the first to successfully accomplish both; destroying a world (technically) and being a god.
Didn't sephiroth destroy an entire solar system?
Kefka is to Void termina...
As sephiroth is to galacta knight.....
If Kefka Actually Destroyed The World, The Entire Planet Would Be Lifeless & It Would Explode... Which Didn't Happened (Thank Naga) & In The Ending, The World Is Being Rebuilt... Somewhat...
You gotta change #1 to Rule the world. That is what Kefka did.
The sound of cacaphounous madness. How the viscious metal tickles my head. How those crazy piano chords enrapture my mind.
Yes, I can feel it. Embrace maddness.
Wow. Gotta give you mad props for a job well done. Thank you for the crazy dedication to your fan base.
Oh my. *listens to part 2* Oh dear... *listens to part 3* oh MY.... *listens to part 4* OH DEAR GOODNESS
*_E A R G A S M_*
This. Is. Awesome! I always thought the Part IV from the original had this Metal feel, it is my favorite and couldn't get any better than this! Thanks!
YES! YES! YES!
Ahhhhh, my favorite track of all time from a video game. You, sir, have won all my internets for today.
my 2 favorites villains are Kefka (and Dancing Mad as a theme) and Sephiroth (and One winged angel as a theme) you covered both; and it was perfect. Thanks you falkkone :)
Another great cover from my favorite cover artist on youtube. Daily reminder I need my shantien
I can't believe you did this. It's phenomenal. Thank you.
Yep, I’m remembering how intimidated I was against Kefka.
Jesse Yuri22 He was scarier as a clown
I have no idea what to change my name to But Kefka became a Clown God which really made me lose my wits. 😅
And that's actually one of the scarier things about him... he actually WON. He became a god, reshaped the world, and bested the heroes trying to stop him, breaking their spirits and scattering them across the world! If Celes hadn't managed to drum up the courage to drag the other heroes back into the fight, Kefka might have ruled forever. O.o
And Kefka was the first Antagonist to ever conquer and ruin the world, not once, but twice.
Kefka actually wanted to die by the time Celes's party got to him. He would have found another way.
One of the best remixes for dancing mad I've ever heard. Metal suits the intensity of this song really well.
8.5/10
-1,5 for Kefka's laughter missing at 14:55 .
100 points to Gryffidnor!!! minus 15 for not laughing Mr. Kefka...
Kefka: ITS MY MUSIC I CAN DO WHAT I WANT!!! Wait and why the hell am I in Gryffidnor…
Teacher: Professor Snape was afraid you'd poison him...
Kefka:...I mean he's not wrong...
OH dear now i know why it semed bit off now
@@Zarryon12 the most ironic part is that Kefka actually does magic XD
@@HOLDENPOPE To this day I still don't get how the school survived with Kefka being in it...
Kefka definitely not happy about this.
Humanity: what have we done...
oh my god he did it, the absolute madman
Captain Heropon dancing madman
@@gugylman true
Mad props for this excellent version of a masterpiece !
The intense vocals along with the metal guitar and magnificent piano just make it a *mwa* mastapiece 🤌 the music was already awesome in game but dude you did amazing! I know this is five years old but dude I love this and will continue to listen to this til I cant hear anymore. An insane theme for a insane God
This is my missing link. In the 90’s I loved Dream Theater, Avantasia, Rhapsody, and SNES jrpg’s. It’s all coming together.
I just wanted to tell you this is the BEST cover I have ever heard of this masterpiece. Dancing Mad is my favorite FF song ever and this fills me with energy and stuff. Good job! I love this. I’ve been listening to it nonstop!
Dear son of a submariner, that was truly amazing!
Ok. This is the most over-majestic + over-metallised masterpiece I've ever listened in my life. Damn I like it!
Just Epic, i've alredy heard so many versions of this theme and this is just amazing.
Edit: confirmed xDDD
17 minutes of pure maddening amazement
What a day, what a lovely day
You will go to the halls of Valhala... Shiny and Chrome... WITNESS ME!!!
Never realized how metal this song really is!!!!!
To me it sounds like the perfect mixture of symphonic and Prog metal. This remix to me sounds like what would happen if Dream Theater and Nightwish got together for a song
Hard to choose between this and Prancing Dad for best cover of Dancing Mad. Both are equally fantastic.
What about Sangnoktsu? Or do you mean metal covers?
The real question is have you tried listening to both at the same time lined up perfectly? I am right now. It's crazy at first until they get jumbled lol
Killed it! (Just like Kefka when he poisonned the water.)
dude, too soon...
Ven pretty sure it been a couple of years now, we can all laugh it off now, like Kefka did.
Okay then... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Ha!
Dusk Claw Someone has poisoned the waterhole!
Put on 1.25 speed...MAKES IT EVEN MORE AWESOME
this has got to be the best thing youve ever made
This was the song chosen for the fight against Chaos in Final Fantasy 20th anniversary. I should know, I was there.
rah god , the 11:00 part is legend. Not fond of the whole piece, but you had some freaking good inspired moments in it.
Usually the ending would be my favorite part of this song, but damn, the segments @ 6:21 - 6:41 & 8:02 - 8:22 are so powerful, get your air guitar out!
Seriously the best thing i have heard you do!!!
You did it, and its beautiful!
This is the Ultimate Game in my honest opinion: Perfect ❤
Amen to that!!!! ♥️
I think Dancing Mad is far better than One-Winged Angel! Who agrees?
XenoSmasher Why me of course!
Same here.
Well for starters this boss has an additional 5 wings over the other
Everyone who heard it
One winged angel? PFFFT How about a Six Winged GOD?!
Dayuummmmmm you KILLED IT!!!!! NEEDS millions more likes and i wanna see more fire music like this!!!
This is literally godly.
I KNEW IT ! This sounds insanely great good job
This made driving to work in the rain/ice epic!
Holy shit I’m gonna have a crazy ass leg day lol thanks so much for this man. I’ve never played FF6 but have listened to many versions of dancing mad and brooooooooo this is in my top 3 for sure kudos :)
No kefka's laugh but still awesome. 9.5/10
IGN
Bro you've become the God of Magicite. This is so fucking awesome. I love FFVI that is easily one of my top FF titles of all time.
If I may be so bold as to make a casual criticism on this: Phases 1 - 2 and 4 all hit their marks of what this piece should sound like. However, phase 3 sounds off in the tone that the fight is supposed to represent; which also sadly effects the tone of phase 4 following after. Phase 3 when Kefka dawns the angelic form and the sound fades to simple chorus and organ, he is supposed to be boasting of how divine he is. Of how his way is supposed to be that of the correct path. That though he embodies the overwhelming demonic power from phase 1 and the thoughts of all humanity incarnated with mockery in phase 2, this was supposed to be looking down at his foes telling them that they stand no chance. That they are pathetic for trying to fight someone of a higher plane. That they cannot comprehend him and he is above all others. Meanwhile, your phase 3 has more of a heroic victory kind of tone: the heroes are winning and Kefka is slowly falling down. While your rendition sounds great and is very pleasing to the ear, it is so filled with hype that you miss the mark of how that piece's tone is. Which - sadly - downgrades the fourth piece. Instead of Kefka coming down saying "Now we shall end this, one way or another. I am not holding back anymore." where he will accept defeat gracefully in silence, yours makes it sound like Kefka is dawning a more stressful form. A last resort that he had no intentions or understanding of ever going into. Instead of dawning what should be that of a Godly aura, your third phase makes it seem like a panic move. Which when it comes to the end, he isn't falling down in silence but you would possibly hear him screaming - wrything - and angerly unnacepting his defeat. Which doesn't fit Kefka's identity. It could just be me, and I could just be over annalizing; but that is I hear it. Be it unintentional on your part, I am sure. If I was making a metal symphony, I would probably not do any better. If I was in your shoes it would be the same thing I would have done. It all sounds great, but that is possibly the one gripe I could give this piece. You do amazing work, and this is no exception. It is fantastic. I just wanted to speak up a little bit on how I interpret that third phase and what it does to the meaning of the final phase.
k
I have to disagree with your analysis of the time for the third phase. Kefka's still playing with you during the third phase, you've yet to reach his pinnacle, and during this time, you are having more of his almost childlike demeanor from the early portions of the game. He was explosive, and aggressive. Then, you find out all along he's been doing nothing but toying with you, the entire time. I think the aggressive tones that give way to the heavenly chorus that paid just before you face the final phase is the embodiment of Kefka.
Dude! I love all that you do. But THIS! Is your Magnum Opus! I love it! 🤘❤
ty
The day you do a cover of ANY of the Splatterhouse music will be a good day for me indeed.
Now, mister Falkkone, do Fierce Battle (Ultima Weapon) and you'll have made the clean sweep.
Mysterious Johnson yes.
you cant have a clean FFVI sweep without Celes theme
LiveErrors or suplexing a ghost train with ninja and samurai backing you up
but he already did that theme
He needs to do Terra's theme, Celes' theme, and Dancing Mad before anyone is allowed to be finished covering this soundtrack. Even though every _other_ song in the game is good too, those are the essentials.
i love the thumbnail version of final boss kefka. if they ever made a 3d version of 6 that's how i would hope he'd look like.
A monument to the greatest rpg world ever made
Heul G.Darian one of Dungeons and Dragons is still number one as it started it all.
lets just say that my relation with dnd is kinda weird the dm im playing with likes mystery and realism so its basically a dark ages simulation with some magic in the background as an afterthought. Oh and if you find any monster youre fcked.
Well no one gets the same thing in dnd.
gets me going in the morning. then i can dance mad all day lol. thanks for this FalKKonE
PART FOUR. OH MY GOD. GOOSEBUMPS.
I feel like Nobuo Uematsu would be proud himself from this remake version of one of the greatest Final Fantasy villians final battle theme.
I know I made another comment a week ago, but this just hit me now:
Combine the 4th movement of this track with the calm phase of the one other extremely popular Dancing Mad symphonic arrangement's 4th movement (apologies that I forgot the name off-hand, I'm on mobile typing this) and the vocals from the 4th movement of Distant Worlds' version (and of course, add the Kefka laugh). Then combine the 1st movement from here and Distant Worlds' vocals, and then combine the other arrangement's 2nd movement with Distant Worlds' vocals and use the other arrangement's 3rd movement.
I know it sounds really specific, but in my opinion those are the best interpretations of the what each segment of Dancing Mad represents.
So I'm not the only who thinks about a Frankensteinian patchwork of various covers that, when combined, would make the perfect version of this song.
The perfect version would NOT include the drums from this cover, though.
Well this is an awesome birthday present, thank you very much my dude.
yes.
Yes!
YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!
Just INSANE!

You've gotta play it, it's great game.
Whaaaaaaat!? No way!?
I've waited so long, and it's finally here.
My *GBA* listen to this song,now its a *PlayStation 4*
That's funny because my Tiger Electronics Handheld Solitaire game just listened to this and now it's a full blown gaming rig complete with a RTX 2080 Ti, Intel i9 9980 18 Core Extreme Edition, 128gb DDR4 4000mhz RAM, 4K 144hz G-sync Curved Ultrawide 3D gaming monitor, and one-of-a-kind robot that feeds you and give you massages while playing, has realistic double D boobs.
I still only use it to play solitaire though. 🤷

Funny my turbo graphics 16 listened to this. It's now a ps10.
Words cannot describe how much I've needed this.
Not bad by any means. I actually really liked it...however I have a couple of grips, mostly with builds up...like at the beginning, I think it was a slight mistake to start with heavy fast drums instead of building the mood like the original. Still and regardless, it is a hell of an arrangement. Keep up the great work man.
so, technically, I made this track the very way I like it, and you're telling me it's a slight mistake since it's not the way you like it? smirk smirk wink wink
Definitely shouldn't have used the word "mistake" since is not a mistake in any way,i was just giving my opinion since i believe one of the reasons this piece is so iconic, is the mood and the atmosphere each section represents...i'm glad you like it the way it is since it's indeed your work and i've been a fan of it for a while now, sad to see you thought it was an entitled comment.
don't worry, I was just slightly teasing you about that use of the word :)
I got your point of view, of course
Having 100 people doing their arrangement, however, every single one would do it differently, and that's the beauty of music ;)
I do agree that an arrangement could benefit from not being so "solid" all the way through. It's hard to feel the power of the more powerful moments if the whole thing is max energy all the way through, if that makes any sense. Still the best metal version of DM on YT though.
I've been waiting for this....and it was well worth the wait. Ohohohoho...
OMG!!!!!!!! And I though one winged angel was great wow
What if FalKKonE make a metal cover for some MegaMan game?... 🤔 Then actually would be *Rock*Man.
Almost. He would be Metal Man.
Great work as always!
I feel like I've been touched by some sort of higher being. My ears are not worthy.
