To me this truly is the greatest video game theme of all time. It's perfect! I still remember getting this for my 14th birthday in '94 and watching the opening cut-scene of the Magitek armor marching across the snowy plains toward Narsh. That scene and this music gave me an emotional experience that has yet to be topped. Flawless track to a flawless game.
@@ryukshinigami5106 imagine HD Terra and Kefka. tho i want to know how'd they'll modernize his laugh tho. all in all should be interesting since this is the last pre-Nomura FF, so very different style. the concept art is basically a 25-year old watercolor after all...
@Matteo Leonardi really? because the Spyro and Crash Badicoot remasters so far have been very good, very successful, and very well loved it can be done. it HAS been done. just gotta put your heart in it (and not just doing it for the sake of doing it for the cash grab like another goddamn CoD game)
They have to wait for us to die off because they would have to please all of us at the same time... I don't know if they have it in them to be able to remake it and not piss 3/4 of us. It would have to be turned based, slightly harder, and lots of other things to give us a remake worthwhile. Also are we going to do it in Ted Woosley recreation... because that is a huge addition to what we know.
This is basically as good an opening to a Final Fantasy game as it's gotten. And that's even with decades worth of improvements in what you can do with music in videogaming,. Sometimes, I think it was the very limitations of what you could do that drove many older VGM tracks like this to greatness.
This is my first experience with a fantasy that did not have an entirely happy ending. Dorothy went back to Kansas without any of her four friends dying; the Pevensies came back through the wardrobe with Aslan happily being resurrected, with their childhood returned like they never left England; and Alice just woke up, leaving Wonderland behind her in a dream. In FF 6, Gen. Leo died, Cid died, all but 1 moogle died, Cyan's whole family was murdered, even Shadow died (if you didn't make it to the airship in time). It all just mirrored (in a fantastic way of course) what happens in real life, and that's what makes it BEAUTIFUL. That's what gave it HEART.
Not to mention the entire world was destroyed. I just loved how they made it seem like the Emperor was going to be the final boss, with you racing against time to save the world from being destroyed... and then you discover that was just the first half of the game.
20 years later; and this song still makes me stop in my tracks. My heart constricts and my cheeks swell. I'm back on that cold morning in Ohio, walking through the falling snow in Magitech armor on my way to Narshe to find the Esper. This will forever be one of the greatest games of all time.
Ah, Terra, con solo recordar como comenzó su historia, sus dudas, sus amistades, sus peleas y demás, puedes llegar a disfrutar aún más esa obra de arte
Played this in the Summer of '96 between 8th and 9th grade. Some of the best memories of my childhood. Playing it this summer with my 5 year old son between pre-k and Kindergarten. I hope the experience is as magical for him as it was for me.
Für mich der beste Teil der Final Fantasy Serie und mit diesem wundervollen Soundtrack, ein Meisterwerk der frühen Kultur der/des RPG´s. Final Fantasy 6 hat einen Platz in der Gaming-Geschichte bei mir ganz weit oben. Kurz gesagt, das Beste für kalte und regnerische Winter-Abende.
This song always, and I mean ALWAYS, brings a tear of happiness to my eye. I have so many wonderful memories playing this game, it was so incredible at its time, and still holds its place as one of my favorite games ever. I've heard this song literally hundreds of times and it never gets old.
This song works so well with Final Fantasy VI. You can clearly see it had taken place late 1700s/1800s (basically the Victorian Era) where a militia would have bands that had this exact sound, ie a marching band. Not to mention it is defiently one of the most beautifully orchestrated pieces Nobou Utematsu has ever composed. It is with certain a "can't get it out of your head" songs. This remake really did it justice. Fantastic job!
The background elements were brought forward a bit and I love the added sustain to some of the sections. It was very brief, but it added a lot in my ears. Amazing rendition!
Riski Sulthan to be honest I feel nothing for those two they were abusive to terra and while I don’t believe they deserved to die, I won’t miss them >:D
They need to do a "remake" of this game just like how they are doing with FF7. This game is the true icon of the franchise instead of that FF7 despite what most fanboy would say. FF6 started or changed everything in what FF was and what would become in the later franchise. Oh, not to forget Kefka is the only villain in FF that succeeded in destroying the world lol.
I usually don't replay games, however this GEM of a masterpiece made me play it time after time.. I never finished FF7 (I Stopped after freeing Vincent due to memory Card Failure!!) and never bothered to replay the game since then! When it comes to FF Series the top are FF6 & FF9, together they are 69!! Coincidence?
This should be the remake :"( I don't know what stops Square from doing it. This game is something else, that scene walking towards Narshe, it was impressive. FFVI is one of the best godamn games of all time. I don't care what anyone says, even with it's flaws, for me is just the perfect game.
An awesome remaster of one of the best tracks ever created! This is why good music is generational and lives with the times, but truly great music continues to live on and get picked up by others!
Hey I've got to say that a lot of remaster/remix projects can absolutely lose the character of the original track, sometimes because they have a new vision for it and sometimes because they just fiddled too much. IMO these should sound like I remember it sounding, without the harsh edge of old hardware, and you absolutely nailed it. Thanks for this,
I love this variants that make even the tiniest difference in music can make such a danm difference in very fluint ways and the more different instruments the better
Final Fantasy wasn't a game I played for so long because I always felt that if I played it, I was betraying the fanbase I belonged to (which is Zelda) But then I grew up and realized I was retarded so I played the games. For the first time ever in playing a game, I heard music on par with Zelda music. I agree that this specific theme is better than Zelda's theme (Lullaby? Is that what you mean?) but there are many Zelda tracks greater than this and many final fantasy music better than this as well.
No words...This song is unbelievable, and this version here is amazing. I never played FFVI, but i know for many reasons is one of the best, everything i know about the game is fantastic. Maybe VI would be my 2nd favorite on the series, cause IX already occupy an special and irreplaceable place in my heart, one of the games of my life... But, when i listened Terra's Theme for the first time, i felt so impacted and amazed, instant love, and i really can imagine the emotion of playing a game with this tune, one of my top songs on FF series for sure, and it's tough to choose, cause master Nobuo Uematsu is a genius, a brilliant spirit.
Holy crap. I knew your username looked familiar. I remember you made a bunch of FFVI "symphonic" remixes back in the day, I listened to those...these are way, way better though.
I discovered FF VI a little bit late. Only on steam version. I am sad because as I became used to betters and betters graphics I didn't enjoy it as much as I wanted. But this music...It is in my top 5 musics of all FF, with Suteki da ne (FFX), Revealed truth (FFX), You're not alone (FFIX) and Eternity - Memory of Lightwaves (FFX-2). Thank you very much for this so beautiful music, and feelings with this music.
While there are some other arrangements of yours I don't particularly like, I have to say your take on the instrumentation and which parts to emphazise was completely spot on in this one. Good job!
This is one of the themes that lead me to start playing music, I used to listen to this and just cry XD, so beautiful. Nice arrangement, better than the Distant Worlds version in my opinion.
needs a little more out of the timpani at the beginning of the bridge but other than that it's pretty darn perfect. This is one of my favorite map themes next to "Eternal Wind", "Main Theme of Final Fantasy IV", "Blue Fields", "Crossing Those Hills", and "Searching For Friends"
Siempre colocaba a terra como la principal del grupo para que su tema siempre se escuchara mientras estaba en él mapa, es hermosa y me recuerda por que amo tanto los juegos de Final Fantasy
I haven't even played this game, but this song fucking captures my imagination. I hum it all the time, with no context to tie it to, yet I can still feel some sort of journey that I never went on in the music.
Andreas Michael Design Watching the beautiful intro to the game was enough for me to begin playing it, i'm already 4 hours in and i love it. Try doing the same thing :)
Not gonna lie, when I first heard this theme before my friend made me play the game I thought it was pretty meh but now that I listen to it again I think it grew on me without my knowing because of the world map
We know this was our motivational theme song when wandering(training) in the forest. But why isnt anyone talking about the one Celes sang with the thief? just asking

GrahfMetal Dude ditto. I was 14 in '94 too!
Me too. I am an old fart.
i have literally played this game off and on for my whole life.
Is there a version for the Vita or PS4? I want the trophies now.
GrahfMetal totally agree this is a masterpiece of great story and music
FF6 is one of the best Games ever made. This game needs a remake
still not sure why they haven't done that
@@Wolvenworks let's hope they do it later. I can't even imagine how narshe will look in 3D.

final fantasy vi was the darkest in all series but with the greatest hope and life teaching
Indeed
This music give me a sad feeling. Perfectly fit with Terra's story.... Its like you walking alone and you miss someone that you will never see again.
just finished this game. what an absolute masterpiece. totally deserves a remake
I hope they do it
God, when I hear that flute... I can't even begin to articulate what feeling this gives me. Amazing, man. You did a great, great job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
the steady rhythm of the guitar urging to push on, while the flute echoes a yearning melody
great description ;-)
I got the chills in my feels listening to this.

This game is the GOAT and an irreplaceable part of my childhood. It may never get a remake but that's ok. I love going back to replay it.
The background elements were brought forward a bit and I love the added sustain to some of the sections. It was very brief, but it added a lot in my ears.

damn, this remind of the poor sidekicks biggs and wedge....
lovely soundtrack.....
Riski Sulthan to be honest I feel nothing for those two they were abusive to terra and while I don’t believe they deserved to die, I won’t miss them >:D
Its okay, they moved to Midgard and became enviromentalists and er..
Chill they are everywhere
@@murbly no chrono trigger first.
Meh I didn't like them a lot to be honest. Good thing they're gone bc I felt like I wouldn't support them a lot if they stayed longer in the story
this song is literally what hope sounds like. When all is lost.
Nope, that would be "searching for friends"
A very beautiful rendition still awesome so long after
Uma melodia mais que perfeita para a personagem Terra. Este é o som de uma jornada em busca da própria razão de existir. Amo muito essa melodia.
One of the best themes to anything ever
So much fucking yes going on here. Awesome remake.

FF6 started or changed everything in what FF was and what would become in the later franchise. Oh, not to forget Kefka is the only villain in FF that succeeded in destroying the world lol.
This is just hearsay, but apparently the guy who's doing the FFVII remake expressed interest in doing FFVI, too.
Exactly, this one is my favorite for a reason. I hope they do.
I guess in FFV the world is destroyed too. Almost one of them
no,they are just merged into one.
I usually don't replay games, however this GEM of a masterpiece made me play it time after time..
I never finished FF7 (I Stopped after freeing Vincent due to memory Card Failure!!) and never bothered to replay the game since then!
When it comes to FF Series the top are FF6 & FF9, together they are 69!! Coincidence?
One of the best FF songs ever made and great art work to go with it!
This is the theme I listen to on those long walks to campus during finals.
日本人ながら海外のサイトから来ました。FFは10くらいまで全部やっていたのに記憶にない音楽・・・今聴くと素晴らしく哀と怒が混ざった音源。良いですね。音楽とはある程度同じステージがあるものですが、この音源と同じものは思い浮かびませんでした。悲しみと怒り･･･同時に両立できかねない感情と思えながら音源に同居している不思議さを覚える。
Best Final Fantasy ever !
Could be the best video game song ever?
no
Possibly
Very possible
Belíssima música e um maravilhoso jus a uma personagem que se aventura em um vasto mundo em busca de respostas para a sua própria existência...
This and Chrono Trigger are my favorite!
Same!!!
Men of culture.
This should be the remake :"(
I don't know what stops Square from doing it. This game is something else, that scene walking towards Narshe, it was impressive. FFVI is one of the best godamn games of all time. I don't care what anyone says, even with it's flaws, for me is just the perfect game.
I would argue that it doesn't need to be remade _because_ it's already so damn perfect. A remake would ruin it in some way, shape, or form.
A very beautiful composition of music.
This song makes me nostalgic for a time I never actually experienced.
You sure?
やっぱり、FFⅥと言ったらこの曲！
今聞いても鳥肌ものです・・・。
Playing this whilst doing the dishes, and it still feels like I'm on an epic quest lol
This particular image used was a fan recreation by Jason Chan
An awesome remaster of one of the best tracks ever created! This is why good music is generational and lives with the times, but truly great music continues to live on and get picked up by others!
We came for WAR !!!!!
This song really suitable for a prelude of war. FFVI and nobuo uematsu is one of a kind.

Ms. Denial You'd be wrong. I'm a Zelda megafan, but this is damn near objectively better.
Yeah maybe.
But as a whole Zelda has better soundtrack.
@@nam5478 Well yes, but actually no.
wtf have i been finding this 9 years later! subs, liked, and shared my dude.
First I watched my Dad play we I was younger. Now ive beaten the game myself. This game will forever be my favorite RPG.

Not playing FFVI is something you should fix ASAP
Listen at 0:00 to about 4:24 --- drops the mic --- exits building(WHOLE SONG is PERFECTION!! dam)
*Appears, and rifts the Magitek-E type through the rift.* "I need your help!" *Rips the slave crown off.*
This is truly great and amazing.
And this is coming from someone who’s never even played the game.
Me neither lol, but I absolutely love he song! I'd really love to play this game though
You ever play the game, either of you?
Exactly what I was looking for. A good remake which is not a remix, and does not alter the original soul of the song.
having played FF7 reamake and i started watching a Lets play of FF6 i can actually feel this song playing in a remake version. Fantastic job.
Had this playing in my locker in high school freshman year and not I miss those days.
Great job! One of my favorite songs from any FF.
Amo esta melodía!! :-)
De las mejores que se han hecho en un Final Fantasy
This is truly amazing!
My favorite theme and one of my top 5 games ever.

While there are some other arrangements of yours I don't particularly like, I have to say your take on the instrumentation and which parts to emphazise was completely spot on in this one. Good job!
I like how the sound talent went on to conduct orchestral music like he dreamed while plugging away at making the game
incredible, amazing, love this
I want play this with piano. it's so lovely and fantastic.
This is the only rendition of this song that hasn't bored me besides the original, and the vocal one.
This is one of the themes that lead me to start playing music, I used to listen to this and just cry XD, so beautiful. Nice arrangement, better than the Distant Worlds version in my opinion.

My favourite world map theme! Very nice touch.
This is very awesome, always loved this song, even in 16 bit. Only 1 criticism: I was hoping for some BOOMing kettle drums! Anyway nice work!
Pure Nostalgic.
Whistling the melody and tapping the percussions... :)
Siempre colocaba a terra como la principal del grupo para que su tema siempre se escuchara mientras estaba en él mapa, es hermosa y me recuerda por que amo tanto los juegos de Final Fantasy
Pero el personaje no influye en que cancion se eschucha en el mapa, en el balance map es este tema en el ruin map es searching for friends creo
And can say with almost 100% certainty that far too many people have not heard this great remastered work.
A lovely take on a timeless classic.
Never played it but I love the soundtrack so much. I like coin song too
literal tears, man ff6 is soo good
I haven't even played this game, but this song fucking captures my imagination. I hum it all the time, with no context to tie it to, yet I can still feel some sort of journey that I never went on in the music.
you should play the game it's really really good one of the best video games ever
mezlabor theyd have to remake it, I didnt get into rpgs intill ps1, when they became 3d. But if they do remake it I will :D
You're going to like it even if it's 2d, trust me. I can even provide a link to an emulated version if you want.

So much nostalgia happening...
Nostalgia 😔
Not gonna lie, when I first heard this theme before my friend made me play the game I thought it was pretty meh but now that I listen to it again I think it grew on me without my knowing because of the world map
I cry. I freakin cry!
Subscribed. Music is too great to not keep in check with your new pieces. Keep at it, my friend.
I was saying that a Timpani roll is lost that leads into the bridge other than that it's perfect.
No, I was saying the section where you move into the main bridge, the timpani roll needs to come out more. The rest of the time sounds perfect.
Final Fsntasy 6, Final Fantasy 8 and a Final Fantasy 9 remake. Too much to ask for maybe..
+Adam Clark i know 6 was remade along with 5... for mobile... my opinion.. it doesnt look as nice as the originals
I do not accept the mobile/pc ports as remakes. They're just not.
Adam Clark they skipped 6 for 7 so that the fandoys can fap to a HD Tifa. Plus I'm sure Square is saving the best for last.
Hopefully they will remake 6 one day.
I hope they remake 9 someday
