That drum beat is what does it for me. When I was a kid, all I had was a cassette recorder and some line in/out cords...but it was enough to rip some of the songs from FF8, the first game that really made me appreciate game music. I kind of take it for granted I didn't even have a Walkman back then.
Holy shit. I've listened to a decent number of your remakes, but my brain actually thought I was listening to the original when this started playing. I had to check the title again. There's a good remake, and then there's fooling someone's subconscious!
everytime i'm goosebumps when i listening to this boss theme, this is really passionated just likes once upon a time we fought with omega weapon , adel etc. That moment and feeling will last forever for me.
The memories of watching my cousin and brothers play this game, it's just so fantastic. I started playing it myself, but that was many years ago. I couldn't get past Ifrit. 🤷♂️ But it was an experience that I would love to relive someday.
I agree with you, if the VIII or the IX would be remade I would gladly cut one of my arms to buy it. But I would also like to enjoy the experience of the early ones like the IV, V and VI which never had "3d" design and which I never had the chance to play with. Anyway, I miss the "!" on my previous comment and just to say, it wasn't to criticise you, quite the opposite in fact :)
Uh? Well -- it shouldn't way early. But unlike old FFs, FFXIII didn't have that "OpenWorld" system. And what can I say it barely has gameplay, it's all cinematic (Regardless of being quite attractive). I dunno what do you pretend to say, but I love Final Fantasy VIII. I just would love a remake of this one because I find such game should've had some more difficulty.
Just wanted to say thanks for pointing me in the direction of this awesome VST. Malikarcanum is my alt account for Rock/Metal things, & I use this one for my own re-orchestrations of video game soundtracks. You were actually my inspiration in starting. & that program has been a massive help in the past fe days. I think it'll be getting a lot of mileage. :) Anyways, thanks again!
i been listening to remakes for a years and tops most of them and i have always been a FFVIII fan matter of fact the first game i ever was Final Fantasy VIII when i was growing up and you did a killer job i look forward to listening to more of your music in the near future well done
everytime i listen to this i always mimic a boss fight. ahaha. Like the summoning animations from the characters to the summon itself , mostly Shiva. ahaha omg i am such a weirdo. Ahh I love it when Squall walks up a little ,to perform his summon. so cool.
These remakes are great for the battle themes, never got to play VIII as of yet, but loved the Dissida remixes and got curious... Safe to say I'm getting more into the idea of going and playing VIII and seeing how it was, just a tiny bit skeptical due to some not so flattering comments, but this is my best friend's favorite in the main series, so here's hoping it'll go well!
The less you try to rush through the main plot or play it like a speedrun and the more you play it like a world to explore and experience, the less likely you are to complain about the enemies-level-up-with-you aspect and the Junction/GF/Magic systems that a lot if people complain about.
Amazing remake! All i could say is the 1:29-1:40 part could have sounded more like strings rather than plucks, but it's a very minor nitpick. Overall, it sounds very close to a remastered original, while being fresh at the same time. You got most of the sounds just right. EDIT: nevermind the nitpick, i got used to it after a few more listens.
+Hatsune Elissu omega weapon battle starts! Squall: "RENZOKUKEN !!!" Xell: "DUELS !!!" Rinoa: "ok... INVINCIBLE MOON !!!" GG EASY Edit: protect is helpfull and have at least one lvl 99 char with you if you cant spam renzokuken and shit :D
Someone doesn't know how to use junctions. Pain and Death in defense and you're basically immune to all status effects. As for the fight, take out your elemental attack junction and go ballistic with Aura. Easiest fight ever.
I finally figured what is so good with your tracks : it's as if you took the original ones, removed the dust on it and broadcast it ! You did an awesome job ! Congratulations !
OMFG u a master on this >.< SO EPIC !! ... FFVIII Is my final fantasy u know? idk why ppl crtic so much this game .. but to me one of the bests out there !! and now finfal fantasy is action based not turn based ... its the worst >.< i love turn based sistem
it's still turn based in a sense. there's a timer for the moves even for the newer FFs (not counting Crisis Core or Lightning Returns, which uses a different kind of time scale)
they wanna forget about turn based and goes for action mode.. And thats wut final fantasy was about, u could be on your turn take dmg or not (depending on your choice...) and think of the way you wanna kill the boss xD Was awesome.. Now even the ones of lastly FF (FFXII?) you can move arround and use ur skills with time gauge Its awful =P but still playable .. i like the FF xD
Impressive!!! Both versions are absolutely SUPERB!!! Would like to request 1000 Words (Final Fantasy X-2) in orchestral version and also the original one please ;D
Someone needs to make a mod to have your latest versions replace the Steam edition OST. I'd spend most of my play-through with a raging stiffy with this playing.
Requesting: Terra's Theme (FFVI) and the Gold Saucer theme (FFVII). Couldn't find Terra's theme, not sure if you've done the latter yet. Also, this is very well done and so are all your remakes! You're amazing.
Thank you! :) I will take that in consideration, maybe Village of Dali first.. Since you play ocarina why don't you make a video of you playing it along with one of my songs in the background? I'm sure many would like to see that including me! :)
Final Fantasy VIII deserves a lot more love. It may not be as good as VII or IX and the Junction System may take a bit of time to get used to, but I think it has a REALLY well told story with likable characters and a really amazing soundtrack. The gameplay to me is kinda meh compared to VII, but I still really enjoy playing the game if only for Squall and company. (Especially Best Girl Selphie)
every time I listen to this music chills all over my body like ohhh no I'm about to Fart. Sick game hope they make a remake of this game love it so much! I see myself as a squall have a friend who's like a Zell n a friend who's like Selphine hahah from FFVIII
The name you talk about could be either 2. Terra Break- Omega Weapon's strongest attack which completely ignores your Vit. Or it could be Mendigo( or Megido I could be wrong) Flame - The attack deals exactly 9998 damage. The first name is also not in Spanish, it's in Latin. Terra meaning earth, latin is a recurring theme in this game, which is really cool in my opinion how they implemented a completely forgotten and unspoken language into the game. 11 Months late, but I had to.
This arrangement of Force Your Way is transcendent to even the original. With your expertise, maybe an arrangement could be done for Dark Messenger; I have yet to hear one where the intro has been captured adequately.
I dunno if it's just me, but I always felt like if you could time a summon so that the character "action" animation happened between 0:50 - 1:01, it made the GF animation look/sound that much cooler.
nah i dont think x-2 needs to be orchestated because it has too many eletronic beats it wouldnt make it sound natrual but given this guys talent for perfect beats and reolution in notes i bet he could just get away with it! but like i dont think after FF11, like 12 through 13 doesnt need to be orch.
Omega Weapon battle Starts. Rinoa used Aura Stone, Sqaull use Aura Stone, Irvine Use Aura Stone. Omega attacks Rinoa bmpphhh... 7889 Damage. Rinoa use Final Elixir. Rinoa use God Potion. Omega use Flame of Megido. 0 damage on Party. Squall use Multi. Bamp bamp bamp bamp bamp bamp bamp zssshhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Lionheart. bump hit bump clash bump hit hit bump clash clash. 16x 9999 DMG. Irvine use Pulsar Munition. Rinoa spell Melton on Omega Weapon. Omega Weapon use Ultima. 0 damage on Party. Squall use Multi >>>> Zsssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Lionheart. Omega Weapon: Aaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh damn i lost they are to strong........... Omega Weapon explode and dies. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Ifrit: "They have Shiva!?"
Haha I used to love writing all sorts for character names to make the conversations sound bizarre haha 😂
I'm glad the synth is still so pronounced. That's what MAKES this song!
I swear right? Specially in 1:06, cover bands always replace this iconic section with a guitar and kinda kill the vibe of the song
1:38, one of the greatest points history in music imho.
No I'm not joking.
totally agree!
That drum beat is what does it for me. When I was a kid, all I had was a cassette recorder and some line in/out cords...but it was enough to rip some of the songs from FF8, the first game that really made me appreciate game music. I kind of take it for granted I didn't even have a Walkman back then.
dee doodle dooooooo, doodle deedle doooooooooo.......
This song. This song is FOREVER burned into my soul. I think that happened around playthrough 3.
me too
First one for me.
I love watching Shiva come out and cast diamond dust and rapidly pressing square while my other hand is rapidly moving up and down in my pants.
Danny B 😂😂👍
AHAHAH x'D
Genius comment ! ♥
Oh my gosh I just screamed laughing at this LMFFFAAOO!!!!
Too funny.
Makes me laugh every time, too true.
Holy shit. I've listened to a decent number of your remakes, but my brain actually thought I was listening to the original when this started playing. I had to check the title again. There's a good remake, and then there's fooling someone's subconscious!
petition to start bugging square for an FFVIII remake as soon as VIIR part 3 releases
This reminds me of:
Triple, Aura, Haste!
It's Limit Break Party time!
You forgot meltdown!
О да брат оно самое
You don't need haste if you junction Triple to Speed. It's like having Auto-haste without using that ability slot.
Holy wows!!! I never pay attention to UA-cam ads but I did for one of your vids. This channel is amazing! Love every song here. Keep it up!
Your remakes deserves waaay more views! These are about as good as they get, keep it up!
everytime i'm goosebumps when i listening to this boss theme, this is really passionated just likes once upon a time we fought with omega weapon , adel etc. That moment and feeling will last forever for me.

1:38 hits even better in this version. Extremely good job ✋
This one most epic battle theme from all of ff series!!! my fav ffviii
The bass in this SLAPS.
THIS GAME NEEDS A SERIOUS REMAKE. The story rocks tho its gameplay was pretty easy.
All the FF pre X need a remake.
Mangeur DeMarmottes But all of those that had an easy or incomplete gameplay / mysterious storyline should have to be re-made first
I agree with you, if the VIII or the IX would be remade I would gladly cut one of my arms to buy it. But I would also like to enjoy the experience of the early ones like the IV, V and VI which never had "3d" design and which I never had the chance to play with.
Anyway, I miss the "!" on my previous comment and just to say, it wasn't to criticise you, quite the opposite in fact :)
Wow you just proved you have no taste in Final Fantasy, I bet you think FFXIII needs a "serious remake" too.
Uh? Well -- it shouldn't way early. But unlike old FFs, FFXIII didn't have that "OpenWorld" system. And what can I say it barely has gameplay, it's all cinematic (Regardless of being quite attractive).
I dunno what do you pretend to say, but I love Final Fantasy VIII. I just would love a remake of this one because I find such game should've had some more difficulty.

Anyways, thanks again!
Aahhhh.. the sounds of the GF summoning .
+Squawadoo Eat, Sleep, Draw Magic, Repeat.
+UnionJack lol
Bweewewewe wooo
*thunder crackling*
i been listening to remakes for a years and tops most of them and i have always been a FFVIII fan matter of fact the first game i ever was Final Fantasy VIII when i was growing up and you did a killer job i look forward to listening to more of your music in the near future well done
I love this so much. _Epic._
***** I love you too- Uhh, shit, wait. What?
My comment, forget about it!
IronRooRoo Uh, what!? xD
***** Lol, just having some fun. I agree, epic.
Wow Nailed it, very close to the orginal and sounds remastered.
everytime i listen to this i always mimic a boss fight. ahaha. Like the summoning animations from the characters to the summon itself , mostly Shiva. ahaha omg i am such a weirdo. Ahh I love it when Squall walks up a little ,to perform his summon. so cool.
AAAAAAAAAAAND IT FITS PERFECTLY!!!!!!!!! so freaking awesome!!!!!
Ahh, the guitar is back... Thank you!!!
Thank you! I just experimented playing both together and it sounds quite nice, ill make a hybrid version one day :)
Once again, this is great work !
These remakes are great for the battle themes, never got to play VIII as of yet, but loved the Dissida remixes and got curious... Safe to say I'm getting more into the idea of going and playing VIII and seeing how it was, just a tiny bit skeptical due to some not so flattering comments, but this is my best friend's favorite in the main series, so here's hoping it'll go well!
Ты не пожелеешь можешь мне поверить эмоции тебе будут обеспечены я то знаю
The less you try to rush through the main plot or play it like a speedrun and the more you play it like a world to explore and experience, the less likely you are to complain about the enemies-level-up-with-you aspect and the Junction/GF/Magic systems that a lot if people complain about.
Its perfect. Your best remake by far
Sounds like the original yet a better version
1:48.
Alright, I finally found it!
THIS was the version that played in my game!...
Somehow... Idk why, but its def. the version I heard many years ago.
[Shiva named "Gay Porn"]
Ifrit: They have Gay Porn?? Very well, I will join you!
Amazing remake! All i could say is the 1:29-1:40 part could have sounded more like strings rather than plucks, but it's a very minor nitpick. Overall, it sounds very close to a remastered original, while being fresh at the same time. You got most of the sounds just right.
EDIT: nevermind the nitpick, i got used to it after a few more listens.
omega weapon battle starts! 5 seconds in.. omega weapon uses lv5 death! game over! omega weapon : TROLOLOLOL TROLL FACE!
+Hatsune Elissu omega weapon battle starts! Squall: "RENZOKUKEN !!!" Xell: "DUELS !!!" Rinoa: "ok... INVINCIBLE MOON !!!" GG EASY
Edit: protect is helpfull and have at least one lvl 99 char with you if you cant spam renzokuken and shit :D
Someone doesn't know how to use junctions. Pain and Death in defense and you're basically immune to all status effects. As for the fight, take out your elemental attack junction and go ballistic with Aura. Easiest fight ever.
damn nice , I'm now reminiscing the fight scene with Ifrit!! the first time this song is played!!
Fully powered! I love it.
I finally figured what is so good with your tracks : it's as if you took the original ones, removed the dust on it and broadcast it ! You did an awesome job ! Congratulations !
omg i love this soundtrack so much feels like im 15 yrs old again
yeah for real.. i was only 13-14 that time. fuck..
Rinoa: 0 HP
Squall: 154 HP
Zell: 0 HP
Zantetsuken.
WIN BATTLE.
YOU: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA TAKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Zell actually saved me more than Squall ahahah his limit is life saving
It's a VST instrument called Addictive Drums
OHHHH this is great, i loved the first version but this one is fantastic too!!! Fully Powered! good job :)
Every time I hear this theme, I picture the brothers playing rock-paper-scissors.
Is this remade by you? :O Just wow. Speechless. It's like the original! Magnificent work!
Absolutely amazing
I need to wash my pants.
David Mobeck You still had your pants on listening to this?
Nah, I just didn't have a sock or tissue handy.
Awesome 😄
SO PERFECT I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ORIGINAL 😂 KEEP IT UP
I will surely do it :) love it
Thank you! :)
OMFG u a master on this >.< SO EPIC !! ... FFVIII Is my final fantasy u know? idk why ppl crtic so much this game .. but to me one of the bests out there !! and now finfal fantasy is action based not turn based ... its the worst >.< i love turn based sistem
it's still turn based in a sense. there's a timer for the moves even for the newer FFs (not counting Crisis Core or Lightning Returns, which uses a different kind of time scale)
It's not turn based.
They just simply use the ATB Gauge.
they wanna forget about turn based and goes for action mode..
And thats wut final fantasy was about, u could be on your turn take dmg or not (depending on your choice...) and think of the way you wanna kill the boss xD Was awesome..
Now even the ones of lastly FF (FFXII?) you can move arround and use ur skills with time gauge
Its awful =P but still playable .. i like the FF xD
finally found it =D THX !
Did you remake it from the PC or PSX version? It sounds good either way. ;-)
Never Look Back remake?
This song always reminds me of the battle on the train against Gerogero.
this is fantastic i was wondering if you could do the main battle theme
Impressive!!! Both versions are absolutely SUPERB!!! Would like to request 1000 Words (Final Fantasy X-2) in orchestral version and also the original one please ;D
very nice ;)
Someone needs to make a mod to have your latest versions replace the Steam edition OST. I'd spend most of my play-through with a raging stiffy with this playing.
This is super nice! :D Would be cool if you could do Ahead on our way from FFVII. Good job :)
Requesting: Terra's Theme (FFVI) and the Gold Saucer theme (FFVII). Couldn't find Terra's theme, not sure if you've done the latter yet. Also, this is very well done and so are all your remakes! You're amazing.
First ifrit fight woaaa best memories ever
FF4 boss theme, anybody?
I agreed with you before, but YES.
Can I suggest "Never Look Back - FFVIII" ? I'd love to see what you can do with that :) ! Peace!
though I like the very beginning of the track out of everything else
Thank you! :) I will take that in consideration, maybe Village of Dali first.. Since you play ocarina why don't you make a video of you playing it along with one of my songs in the background? I'm sure many would like to see that including me! :)
cool :D very pro maded

This reminds me the battle versus Omega Weapon. And his Disrupción cósmica (I don't know the english name of that special)
YES!!! That's what I'm talking about :3
Richard Pastrana I imagine that would be terra break. Or maybe ultima
Steven11525 Aye, Terra Break, Or Megido Flame. There his 2 worse moves. Just Uploaded an Omega video today. :P Feel free to check it out. :)
The name you talk about could be either 2.
Terra Break- Omega Weapon's strongest attack which completely ignores your Vit.
Or it could be Mendigo( or Megido I could be wrong) Flame - The attack deals exactly 9998 damage.
The first name is also not in Spanish, it's in Latin. Terra meaning earth, latin is a recurring theme in this game, which is really cool in my opinion how they implemented a completely forgotten and unspoken language into the game.
11 Months late, but I had to.
This arrangement of Force Your Way is transcendent to even the original. With your expertise, maybe an arrangement could be done for Dark Messenger; I have yet to hear one where the intro has been captured adequately.
You did well with the remake, I hope you'll consider remixing Chrono Cross soundtracks :) Thank you
Contre Minotaure : Meltdown, Aura, Triangle (Spam), Renzukoken
hey man, nice avatar :D
epic
I admit it, Dark Messenger in a remade version would be awesome ^^
Hold select press Square 1000 times.....
How on earth did you make it sound more MIDI-like than the original? :P
I dunno if it's just me, but I always felt like if you could time a summon so that the character "action" animation happened between 0:50 - 1:01, it made the GF animation look/sound that much cooler.
The Bass though?
Final Fantasy VIII: the one with all the prog music in it.
it would be cool if you would do battle on the big bridge
Can everyone spam F5, this really needs/deserves more views
ill give it a try :)
OMG :O
And some people seem to say everything about FFVIII was terrible? Everything? Music doesn't fall under the category of everything then I see.
If it interests you : GOLD SAUCER THEME (ff7) !!! CHALLENGER (ff10) !!!! SUMMONED BEAST BATTLE (ff10) !!!!
You are our God, BitSymphony !
Add Rainymood to this. Odin
Now all we need is the sound of a composed horse entering
THIS.
I've never actually played FF8, except for maybe 10 seconds, but I think Force Your Way is one of my top five boss themes. This remake helps too.
ナイスショット❕
Why dont u play it?
This should be the battle theme if there was a remake to be honest
"Draw failed" Yo bro why? Just let me cast aura damn.
Institutional.
Perfect except guitars need to sound like guitars and not static noise, and turned in the mix a bit
I thought this was the original xD
is this music copyrighted?
Square is awesome like that.
All I hear is wabble metal getting tip against to it
nah i dont think x-2 needs to be orchestated because it has too many eletronic beats it wouldnt make it sound natrual but given this guys talent for perfect beats and reolution in notes i bet he could just get away with it! but like i dont think after FF11, like 12 through 13 doesnt need to be orch.
