Final Fantasy 7: Nemo (Nightwish - Once) - Sephiroth & Kadaj

An anime music video (AMV) using footage from Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children Complete and Crisis Core, set to the song "Nemo" by Nightwish. I've made plenty of FF7 AMVs about the heroes of the game, so I decided to make one about the villains--primarily Sephiroth, Kadaj, and Genesis (though mostly Sephiroth/Kadaj). The song is very mythological/religious in its imagery, being the song of a fallen angel, which fits perfectly with Sephiroth who is portrayed pretty much as exactly that. The video focuses on his love for Jenova and his desire (albeit twisted) to basically win his freedom and redemption by unleashing it.
The idea for this video was a combination of a request by artlessangel that I make a video focusing on the "fallen angel" imagery of Final Fantasy 7 and a blog post by a friend about the themes in Nightwish's "Nemo," which you can read here if you're interested: www.associatedc...

that start was epic.

[@excaliber009]

That was good. It's nice to see the villians here instead of the normal heroes. I also like how you tell some of the theme behind the amv. It's always great to see you making more amvs, and I hope you see more when you have the chance.

[@WanderingDreamer01]

This was a beautiful song, and the events mixed in with the music perfectly. I'm always amazed with your work and I'm glad that you continue to impress. This is another adition to the amazing work that you have done and I like it.

Great work. Your 'Heroes' one is on my playlist and this one is going there too :D.

[@robirb_]

Another masterpiece. Another favourite. You rock, man.

[@MiNovia71]

You've done really great work with your videos and this ingenious music!

[@MyLady831]

You, sir, make the best FF videos EVER!!!!!!!

[@jweab]

It's been a while since you had a post, Dark. Good to see you still making vids.

[@kisslordorochimaru]

Wow...this video is Absolutely Gorgeous,I love it...going into my faves right away.I love kadaj he is so Amazing and so are you for making this Awesome video^^

[@AngeloDellaNotte90]

I have to say it. I LOVE THIS VIDEO. It's maybe the best video on final fantasy advent children/ 7. I love the song and it's perfect for it! Perfect job!!!!!!!!! :D Ps: I love the ending :D

[@redemption101caleb]

Once again, very nicely done!

[@LucasTanHuanWei]

so intense graphic movements along with such a song. fuck, this is pure awesomeness.

[@gothrockrulz]

This is one amazing fanvid! Great work!

[@wingedwolfangelX]

I love it! I've never seen such a good bad guy tribute!

[@greyfoxx55]

you did a great job with this my friend

[@ladyvaporeon3896]

2019 and still love it

[@xXuchihaXakatsukiXx]

dude, this is truly epicness!!!!

[@TrisakAminawn]

Beautiful! Given the title says it's for Sephiroth and Kadaj, could have used more of the fairly ample supply of sad Sephiroth face from Crisis Core and less Genesis. Zooming in on Genesis' face during 'my loving heart' only really makes sense if we're asserting the thesis that Sephiroth was moony for him, considering Angeal was always the most affectionate of the three of them.

[@scottbrummitt3740]

Another great song and video thanks bro

[@emersonmacintosh7673]

Still the best amv I've seen

[@erikm9232]

This was good. Liked how the song flowed with the video.

[@DarkLordofDebate]

FYI, I was able to appeal the reinstated copyright claim, so the video is available on mobile again. We'll see what happens next. If the music label files a DMCA notice, this video might be unavailable for a couple weeks until my counter-notice goes through.

[@Wyckedshadow]

I can't stop watching this ^.^

[@LastKatanaGirl]

This video is amyzing!

[@96Knuddel]

love it

[@MSRaLaMa]

Holy Masamune. This was amazing. I still don't understand how people can use ACC footage, maybe it's because others have different programs than I... (WMV ftl?) Amazing. What are you doing in a law school? :D

[@hevanibelheim]

really awesome

[@kashawn105]

3:38 it sounds like shes saying "my sephiroth"

[@dreamsanddestinies8763]

Oh my god you are right

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@DaniTyranecia Advent Children is a movie, but that takes place after the original game.

[@princepstenebris]

Good video

[@Izumehime]

Awesome AMV! Love it! I have one question- How did you get Advent Children Complete footage to use?

[@DarkLordofDebate]

Sorry about that. I disputed the copyright claim to get it re-available on mobile, but the music label reinstated the claim (of course) and KZbin is telling me I'm not eligible to use the new appeals process for some reason. Not sure if that's just on this video or across my whole account. I need to experiment with that to figure out more, since of course KZbin won't tell me WHY I can't appeal the reinstated claim.

[@9thAngel]

2024 still epic

[@deidjera]

damn, sepiroth has one bloody sharp sword

[@excaliber009]

Wow, such a great video, all of yours are. Is there any chance you'll be posting any more amvs soon?

[@valypaly3]

Damn that Hojo for disliking this...

[@darkknight151]

i love this :D really great

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@rear09 - This uses footage from Advent Children Complete, which has some different scenes than the old version.

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@AEilleenH - Yeah it's odd. Apparently WMG is now allowing some songs to be used on KZbin, but I have yet to find any. But most of the songs I use are Scandinavian symphonic metal bands like Nightwish and Within Temptation licensed under WMG's subsidiary Roadrunner Records, which might have something to do with it.

[@darkguardian769]

finish musicn and great characters always works

[@Izumehime]

@DarkLordofDebate Okay; thanks a lot! I don't have a Blu Ray player either, so that's really helpful.

[@460M]

Needed more cloud and sephiroth fighting

[@greyfoxx55]

i wish my amvs were as good as yours

[@TonyLandrove]

do you like final fantasy, uh? It don't surprise me xD but your work yes :D

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@MyLady831 Actually I already made a video using that song with footage from the movie Equilibrium. You can find it on my channel.

[@DaniTyranecia]

Isn't there a movie made that takes place before the game? If there is, what is it called? I can't remember or find it anywhere...

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@excaliber009 I'm rather busy with law school right now, but I'll try to make a new AMV when I get a chance.

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@AEilleenH - Haha, yes indeed. That's becoming a regular tradition: upload video, audio blocked, dispute, audio restored. =)

[@yuyan1025]

i like this song & mv ，当这首歌开始的时候那把钢琴音乐响起的时候挺入我的心声，狼我超感动的嘛！这首歌真的超赞的嘛！(*^__^*) 嘻嘻……

[@Rarity456]

Your FF videos are AMAZING. We should do a collab (:

[@emersonmacintosh7673]

Better than the movie.

[@balrog0444]

Nice work, as usual, but i really don't see what all the fuss is about regarding copyright. if you were advertising for something using the audio/video, or cutting their profits by uploading free music/films, then ok, fine, i understand. But tributes and amvs? I would have thought it would boost sales, not hinder them o.O stupid logic if you ask me.

[@MyLady831]

@DarkLordofDebate Thanks, but I already found it as well as commented on it. =)

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@Izumehime - Bittorrent. I don't have a Blu Ray player, so pretty much my only choice.

[@guyvellis148]

Hi there, I am very interested as to how your appeal progressed. I am currently experiencing difficulties with one of my videos being blocked almost globally because of the music used in it. It is a video of original sports footage shot by myself set to copyrighted music for the purpose of promoting the England National Lacrosse Team. I have already appealed but the claims have been reinstated, and I now wish to further rebut their claims under Fair Use.

[@DarkLordofDebate]

@AEilleenH - Ah, see I fight them too. The last one of my vids using Advent Children Complete got a takedown notice and a strike, and I had to send a counter-notice to get it restored and the strike removed. I'm waiting to see if they do the same to this vid.

[@danzelaron]

I made a music video when I was 15 and it got deleted,how do I prevent that from happening?

[@MyLady831]

*subliminal message* You want to make a FF video to the song Dance with the Devil by Breaking Benjamin. ;-)

[@cain2win]

9000 view my ass, this vid and all others should have more than 7 digits mate.

@DarkLordofDebate I looked, but I couldn't find it.
