FF6 Ending Theme Orchestral 1/2

[@spinninglegends]

Shadow's theme gives me chills...every time.

[@GroinDestroyer]

It's so sad that so many gamers will never experience final fantasy 6 or chrono trigger. I'm so glad that my older brothers and sisters played those two games all the time as a kid so i could really value the story and the music. Here's to hopefully being a remake in the future for newer generations to immerse themselves in the great story of ff6 and chrono trigger. :') (also bum rush ftw)

[@AkaiAzul]

They made FF6 for the iOS that has, ummm, updated character sprites. I can't say for certain if that was a good thing (haven't bought it), but it's a start. This game does deserve as much, if not more, attention as its younger brother FF7. With all the bells and whistles of 3D and an orchestrated soundtrack, everything. Even to this day, there hasn't been a story remotely close to the grandeur this game has told.

[@Popplenator]

Alastair Jack I agree here, there's that 'SNES Renaissance' feeling to the old sprites which just make them special.

[@vriskaserket467]

I love FFVI and it was made before I was even born :D Also I cried so hard at the ending

[@red__guy]

These games are classics with the best music composing. After finishing a lot of Newground's Flash based RPG's like Mardek, and Epic Battle Fantasy I decided to go through the real classics JRPG (the inspiration of the flash based RPGs) This year I just finished FFVI, FFVII and Chrono Trigger for the first time. It's a great achievement for me. not because these games are hard or long. But because these games are great stories and music performances and fun. but with a lot of grinding and a bit annoying random encounters (not in Chrono). These games are a prove that games is able to be high quality medium and not just mindless crushing candies. From the three games above - Chrono Trigger is the winner What do you think should be the next classic play next?

[@GroinDestroyer]

Omer Neu honestly chrono trigger and ff6 we're ahead of it's time, but i guess one of my favourite games as a child was secret of mana, but i heard if you play it when you're older you might find it juvenile. It was one of my favourites though, i think alot of people who have played ct and ff6 have played it. The sequel to secret of mana is called seiken densetsu 3(japanese name). You may enjoy it! have fun

[@stonecold5373]

still the best ending theme in video game history. relm and shadow's part is truly epic.

[@Joe_334]

I don't think the writers knew what they doing with Shadow. It seems like he was supposed to be written off after the floating continent. Then, if you let him live, he just fights at the colisuem and then helps take out Kefka. He just stays behind in Kefka's Tower.

[@Pasakoye]

I was in Japan around the time of this concert. If only I knew... I hope the rest of the concert surfaces. At least we finally have an orchestrated ending.

[@blackshadow9382]

This music represents the majesty and work of art that is Final Fantasy VI.

[@Offbeaten]

Shadows part is one of Uematsus best best arranged parts he's ever done. Hands down

[@Hansov_Bone]

I can't stop listening to this. The Strago part is absolutely legendary.

[@joshwaaaable]

Hands down THE BEST video game ending and music from any game ever

[@Aienkei]

RIP Shadow.

[@arne0107]

the transition to Edgar/Sabin and Celes to Locke = RIGHT IN THE FEELS.

[@Splittersplatter]

And Shadow? You almost doesn't hear Relm, and then it starts the violin. The it come the brass gand! And then it's drum time! But you are already in a corner crying.

[@adamclark8994]

Man..Final Fantasy will always be my favourite game series. I will be playing this game again one day.

[@Zazskatchenews]

Le meilleur reste et de loin la transition de Relm à Shadow, quelle fin mémirable du meilleur jrpg des années 90. Final Fantasy, ta déchéance est bien plus dure que les prequels de Star Wars. Je continue d'espéree qur la magie reviendra. Quitte à attendre 1000 ans...

[@jreisig1234]

I've been searching for an orchestral version of this for almost 20 years. Thank you! If you had the MP3 link, it would be much appreciated.

[@archagenteverlasting1239]

The entire lifetime of the game?

[@jreisig1234]

@@archagenteverlasting1239 Yes. Is that okay?

[@archagenteverlasting1239]

@@jreisig1234 Of course, I'm just impressed.

[@phallll]

This is beautiful. Thank you. I don't know about you guys, but I'd take a FF6 remake over a FF7 remake any day.

[@Hexaderp]

AGH WHAT ALBUM IS THIS TRACK FROM!? It is 100% NOT from Final Fantasy VI Original Sound Version - that is literally what the music sounded like in-game! This sounds like a recording of a live performance - but there's been so many and none that I've seen seem to say they do the ending theme for this game. EDIT: Searching around, this (sadly) is from the Littlejack Orchestra Fan Concert held back in 2009. As far as I know, there are no recordings which is a travesty because it was regarded as one of the best, most heartfelt renditions of many of the Final Fantasy VI pieces. This is probably THE ONLY full rendition of the ending theme, actually.

[@olugdi]

you're welcome! Hope a new version will be done and played by a much more larger symphonic orchestra, because as one of the best composition of all-time, it deserve it

[@RicoLen1]

Kara Comparetto just shared this video with me (look her up, she's just about the cutest and sweetest woman you could hope to come across. She's my all-time favorite youtube pianist and she covers a lot of Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger). I feel like it's christmas! I've been looking for a song of this quality for over 25 years.

[@olugdi9782]

Made this one years ago from Little Jack Orchestra. A shame I couldn't do better at time. Sounds far from perfect. But I'm glad you and Kara appreciated it. She is indeed a fantastic pianist ! I think there's still a lot to do with FF6 material, using a huge, massive orchestra, with definitive arrangements, and with Kara on piano of course!

[@chaos_omega]

This legit made me cry. Was not expecting feels as I've heard this a gazillion times. Mucho credit to this orchestra.

[@MrRenatopepin]

shit , Shadow's sad theme and breaking heart ending it got me totally off guard . Goosebumps and tears . FFVI KICK ASS! IGN suport me !

[@SuperDesdemona]

Thank you. I love it. The best ending theme for a video game. And the best Final fantasy .

[@mushkrizvi]

OMG I WAAAAAAAAAAANT IN HIGH QUALITYYYYYYYYYYY!!! QQ sooooo gooddd! basically i have been searching for this like foreveeeeeeeer

[@muel0341]

Someone seriously needs to make either an epic novel or an epic film of the Final Fantasy 6 story like peter jackson did with Lord of the rings. I just don't know if there's anyone out there good enough to do justice to the story and get the depth of the themes woven throughout the plot. Good vs evil, Love vs hate, personality vs objectivity, magic vs technology, power vs freedom - i really think that the makers of FF6 created a timeless masterpiece that needs to be passed on to our children.

[@archagenteverlasting1239]

The epic novel is almost finished by yours truly.

[@OtaConnor]

Incredibly beautiful...

[@LaurentheFlute]

I get chills every time I listen to this. Especially my favorite moment (when the themes for Locke and Celes overlap). Thank you so much for posting this, and if you put up an MP3, I would be grateful.

[@pianotm]

Mog's Theme really makes me think there's some inspiration from Mussorgsky. I really got the impression of the transitions from Ballet of the Unhatched Chicks. In fact, this whole sequence puts me in mind of Pictures at an Exhibition.

[@StaffOfMagius]

I can't even put into words how great this is. Thanks so much for posting it.

[@lvcsslacker]

3:03 Oh my god my grin was from ear to ear... Such a playful sound! 5:01 Gau... ;~; 6:42 Oh god Locke... that was amazing!

[@davewilder3979]

Oh man, the Shadow part. Epic. Sounds better than most film scores.

[@Sedalb]

If anything, I'd love to see a complete remake of VI, just so we can have a fully orchestral soundtrack... What I'd give to have this in HD quality!

[@thienphucn1]

FFVI Remake brought the music from a 10 to 500. I hope VI gets the same treatment someday

[@StaffOfMagius]

This is a really fantastic version. Blew me away. Thanks for sharing.

the realm/shadow transition

[@olugdi]

@Luciole0309 J'ai déniché cette version après des mois de recherches sur le web japonais. J'avais préalablement entendu parler d'un concert exclusivement dédié à FINAL FANTASY VI : "Littlejack Orchestra" au Minato Mirai Hall de Yokohama en août 2009. N'ayant pu y assister, je me devais de trouver le moindre enregistrement, et mes efforts ont été récompensés en mettant la main (ou le clic...) sur la vidéo de répétition. Loin d'être parfait malgré mes retouches, je te l'accorde!

[@justa16thnote]

INCROYABLE!!

[@justa16thnote]

@FrontDeskMatt Relm's sounds GREAT with bagpipes!!

Just started playing ff6 love the story. This makes me wonder why cant squenix make ff's like this.

[@silvermat]

Merci pour cet upload fantastique, je croyais tout savoir des différentes re orchestrations des musiques de FF, mais j'ignorai cette version d'une de mes pistes préférées, le ending theme de FF VI !!! Par contre quel dommage que ce ne soit qu'un rip, as tu pu mettre la main sur quelque chose de meilleur qualité ? As tu un lien MP3 idéalement ?

[@FrontDeskMatt]

@justa16thnote I will admit, the bagpipes from Grand Finale grew on me after a while--the player is incredibly skilled. However, the first time I heard them it was quite jarring. Bagpipes have such a harsh sounds that works in many places. For such a pretty melody, I just wanted a softer instrument... especially when I heard it orchestrated for the first time.

[@WingedMad]

Still waiting...

[@Galatorm]

I have to admit, the more years goes by, the less connected I feel to the final fantasy games that comes out. This interpretation his beautiful and brough make great memories. Il faut avouer que plus les années passent et moins je me sent en phase avec les jeux final fantasy qui sortent. Cette interprétation est magnifique et me rappelle de bons souvenirs.

[@GuerillahTacT1kz]

Hi I was wondering if you happened to have the mp3 link, thanks and much appreciation for uploading the video!

[@Luciole0309]

It is far from perfect but since this track is never performed in concert and should definitely be for its diversity of themes and for its quality inherited from the perfection of the whole soundtrack, I have to applaud! By the way, where does this version come from?

[@Kougramon]

@olugdi Agreed! =)

[@FrontDeskMatt]

I've been looking for an orchestral version of this forever! I do wish the audio was a little cleaner, but is there any way to post a link to an MP3? FINALLY, A VERSION OF RELM'S THEME WITHOUT BAGPIPES!

[@Y.Moroboshi]

@Falstaff85 Because it is known that FFVI's ending sequence trumps that of pretty much every FF game except for perhaps IX's. =P In all seriousness, it's lengthy. You'd have to use it as the finale and probably dedicate a large chunk of the program to that piece alone. That and sadly the formats for concerts seem to have moved away from overly lengthy pieces. Part of why the entire opera sequence for FFVI as seen in Orchestra Game Concert 4 was never done again. =/

[@Falstaff85]

@Ruisu7 You're probably right...what a shame. They could at least do a studio recording.

[@Costelad]

Sorry to bother you, but could you please put the mp3 link up? This version is by far the best I have heard, thanks!

[@sheamcc2]

If i directed this i wolud have each of the charicters fight kefka and this in the back round and give everybody a monent to shine when the them comes on

Did they skip Umaro's theme?

[@zapdos777]

Can you add the full mp3 download link in the description ?

[@nexusprimary3046]

It's fantastic... where is it from? may be a school band?

[@takigan]

An amateur community orchestra from the Kawasaki area of Japan called the Littlejack Orchestra. It's a fan orchestra that specializes in VG music. They actually can't legally sell recordings of their performances because of copyright.

[@mushkrizvi]

Why is shadow theme so short?? QQQQ

[@Joe_334]

Remember when the game wanted him to die off after the Floating continent? It heavily implies that he was supposed to be offed there. Even if you save him, he will only get drunk on non stop fighting at the colisuem, in world of ruin. His ending is very tragic though. I believe that Kefka was his old partner, Baram, before he was infused by artificial magic.

[@dportalesr]

0.75x works best!

[@phail_trail]

Daniel Portales Rosado Orchestrate and record it at .75 then

[@caragio]

Cyan = Ken Watanabe Setzer = Johnny Depp Edgar = Matt Damon Sabin = Mark Wahlberg Mog = Pixar's CG Umaro = Danny Trejo Gogo = Jack Black Gau = Joseph Gordon Lewitt Relm = Chloë Moretz Strago = Sean Connery Shadow = Hugo Weaving (behind the mask like in V for Vendetta) Celes = Anne Hathaway Locke = Leonardo Dicarprio Terra = Emmy Rossum And Kefka.....of course it would be Jim Carrey!

[@lichtenburc]

from "nicooke"? 「ニコオケ」からですか？

The orchestration really isn't bad. The recording is muddled though. The instrument choices are pretty good though. It's really a pretty damn good arrangement.
