FF9 Battle Theme (Sim Gretina Remix)

[@lancelovecraft]

I grew so tired of this song in my youth through the endless battles and countless losses. But you've restored my love for it. Thanks

[@DoktorWieg]

FF9 always felt like Square took a step back, looked at where they were with the franchise and thought "Let's take all we've learned from our previous titles for this one". Let's have a world that enchants players, that is actual fantasy and with interesting, varied characters of all comings and races, that feels like a fairy tale but is also dark. Let's have a battle system that feels like the old but plays like the new and customisation that mirrors the best aspect of our Job system, Materia and even Magicite and merge it together. Let's make it a milestone on our way forward... and it is why it feels so much like FF4, FF6 and FF7 merged together, cutting off the excess and keeping the best of it. And it is why I personally like it so much : it truly feels like a proper Final Fantasy game, not only for the mechanics it uses, the music and such... but also because the world itself feels just right. If I had a personal list of favorite FF games, it would easily be in the top 5.

[@terragenesis32x]

WiegrafDX i agree with this. Also the storyline flows like a movie and makes it really hard to put the controller down because you feel for the characters and want to continue with them in their own personal journeys as well as the greater storyline. No character in the game finishes the same they started at the beginning. It’s by far my favorite and I would argue still that it’s the best the franchise has offered ever(it’s tough saying that because I love 6 so much).

[@Painfree_fitness]

its funny how they made viii and ix at the same time and how vastly different they are

[@TheGroundedAviator]

So well said!

[@Foxxie0kun]

I agree and would even say that nostalgia goggles for 7 has robbed 9 of the love and attention it rightly deserves. 9 would be an amazing base to work a Remake off of, considering how amazing the story, characters, world, and overall feel of 9 was compared to 7 and 8. But sadly we probably won't get a proper remake of 9, which sucks more than a dime store hooker on discount night.

[@TheGroundedAviator]

@@Foxxie0kun Well said, thumbs up from me!

[@shiningcapella]

I absolutely LOVE THIS. I was never a huge fan of the battle theme growing up, and this knocks my socks off. Its amazing. Thank you

[@Cloofinder]

Aside FFVII getting a Remake, I believe IX deserves a remake as well. That's my opinion.

[@10kblades]

I agree, but the art is so strange I think it would be very hard to make a good looking remake.

[@Cloofinder]

Aura L they could go for a 2d version that could match the style.

[@Cloofinder]

True, with everything getting more high definition with the graphics. It would be hard to make IX less high definition with cartoonish designs. Then again, KH2.8 and 3 kind of pulled it off nicely.

[@Chysans]

Cloo Viewer it kind of got a remake? meh more like a repolish on mobile its good tho lol but yeah it deserves a good remake

[@Cloofinder]

Starplatunum that's new to me. If it did I'm sure it was either Japan exclusive only, or it wasn't really hyped.

[@神ハンター-y8y]

final fantasy 9 FOREVER !

[@mmamackela284]

"Maaaan, isn't Zidane just the coolest?" I thought so when the game came out and my sister bought it for me.It's still the best Final Fantasy in my books

[@Simpsa69]

FF9 best FF ever

[@Chuunibyou64]

High five through the internet

[@HiryuuHonyaku]

Sorry you got that digit upside down, you meant to write a 6.

[@thunderguyer]

Hiryuu Honyaku nope....6 has aged...it's a good game but as time passes i am disliking it more and more

[@Riketz]

Cursedwind Everyone I have ever introduced FF6 to, it has become their favorite. It's only aged because you played it a long time ago or too much. FF9, a lot of people never even finish it despite how short it is. Now, when you play both from start to finish, FF9 is the better game simply because of the console it's on and the direction it took. Plenty of fun little animations and expressions from the characters throughout make it feel really really alive and organic, something no FF before it could quite do. I believe that if FF6 were remade with even those limited PS1 graphics, but with the cinematic quality and appropriate character animations like 9 has, it would easily be the best game in the series. Think about how much less entertaining Zidane would be without all of those moments where he's bouncing around, hanging from his tail, throwing up his dukes, or brushing old Rusty off of his shoulders. Now, imagine that same sort of comedy with Edgar happening in the background at any given town's cafe with some waitress or local girls. Dammit, this just turned into a rant for wanting a remake for FF's that actually deserve one.

[@thunderguyer]

Riketz I liked FF6 but not as much as others...i believe that it needs a remake on the 3ds like DQ7 got....FF6 is STILL my least favorite FF game from the whole Nintendo era.....that's counting NES and SNES. And i am talking about their most recent reincarnations because out of all the FF games i could play on their original console,the only one i would be confortable with would be 5....and it is not even my favorite out of the snes era

[@cookietacos]

I always thought FF IX had the best battle theme, this is a wonderful remix~

[@DJ5un]

Why did I not know this existed? THis is, no joke, my personal favorite game, and hearing this is just eargasmic

[@Ponybomb21]

This was my favorite game as a kid. Thank you for this, sim

[@MiniEquine]

This is so fresh. I absolutely do enjoy being subscribed to you Sim Gretina

[@mrmosty5167]

Ponies and FF tunes. You are simply the best, the best.

[@Eldorado1239]

Auto-reflect for all! Blizzaga on ourselves! Dragon grinding ftw!

[@jenbeyer9111]

This was posted 4 years ago and I'm still coming back to it, since it is still awesome!

[@SageNemesis]

Even after FINALLY playing through VI (VII was my introduction to the series) and loving the shit out of it, IX is still my favorite Final Fantasy. Followed closely by VI and VII. Can't wait for VII remake and I hope VI get's some love at some point.

[@TheFishOFWAR]

Opened the soundcloud version while the video was playing. Hearing it at too different places in the song at once is actually great XD

[@Falkalore]

And in comes Sim with the nostalgia train.

[@pyrorelcifer727]

Since I was born in 99 I grew up with FF10 and 12. But even so, I still wanted to discover the early Final Fantasy's and I have to say FF9 is by far my favorite, it had it's funny and dark moments and it made me smile most of the time. Zidane is (to me) the best FF hero in the whole series, along with Bartz and Locke. I played FF7 as well, but the 9th is better... in my opinion.

[@arziel340]

Great battle Remix with love ❤️ for this work for my favorite Final Fantasy. Thank you so much 😊

[@DaBoYZ91]

Im glad im not the only one who thinks FF9 was the best. Like their skill sets were off the chain! Especially once they hit their Trance modes.. Zidane: Grand Lethal.. complete slaughter!

[@donmusik2691]

Personnaly, FF9 is my favorite (The Characters are really appealing, the soundtrack is great, the world is really interesting, and the theme of death is really surprising in a game that colorful and cute.) , but I think FF6 is the best, (Best characters, best story, best gameplay (Behind FF12, which is out of my top FF games because... Well, it's FF12.), best artstyle (I can't be the only one who likes more the SNES-era Square artstyle than the one that comes later, I think.), and best villain, even if Sephiroth and Kuja are really kewl too.)FF5 being third. (I looooove the job system of this game, the characters are nice (Never beaten Gilgamesh, so, can't tell about him, even if so many people love him., the soundtrack is... Eh, FF4, 6, 7, 9, 10 and 12 all have a better soundtrack, but it's not bad, the artstyle is nice, and the story... Is basically the one of FF1 or 3, but with better characters, so it works a bit better.)

[@shioriryukaze]

The only thing that pissed me off about the battle system is You had to use your trance. Sometimes I wanted to save it for a boss battle...not a weak opponent.

[@asianmusicfan001]

Same here. It was especially annoying when it triggered just as you go for the kill shot on a weak enemy.

[@Duhemsounds]

This is a good remix, I like to listen old works :)

[@Niibakun]

Well I kinda liked the tail myself, though not a big fan of the pink furry trance. But as you said, I was talking about personality. I kinda liked Cloud, but Squall just tried to copy him (and ugh, that name...) and just when it was starting to seem FF heroes would all be the brooding, silent, depressed type...we got an awesome skirt-chaser who wasn't afraid to laugh and crack jokes while still remaining "the hero". It was a VERY nice change at the time, and not many people appreciate it,

[@bronygamesbrasil]

Oh my gosh!!! Never thought I would live enough to see a FF 9 Remix!! Now you're talking!!!!

[@abzde]

Ah so many awesome memories came flooding back to me. Loved this game and loved this song!

[@designateddaddy8413]

you are one of the best remixers ive heard

[@PunkDisciple23]

I'd argue that Zidane x Garnet is the most organically progressed/developed relationship in the FF Universe. Tidus x Yuna would be a close second though.

[@wendysnailland]

+PunkDisciple23 I'm just biased toward anything FF9 and I agree.

[@jefferyrlc]

+PunkDisciple23 with Squall and Rinoa being dead last. Seriously I've played the game several times now and I still fail to see the point where they move from acquaintances to lovers.

[@TwoVenomous]

I love Tidus x Yuna but I agree about Zidane x Garnet being the most developed relationship.

[@Nerr0us]

they such an awesome mix , princess and thief

It would be pretty cool if we could see some more final fantasy remix stuff from you Sim. This was top.

I love the pic...and this is the best FF

[@Tenzen06]

When you aint familiar enough with technical vocabulary, you don't find it that easy to understand and just call it techno/electro, because it's what it seems like when you're a casual. Anyway i'm too lazy to explain my point, this all started with an aggressive com and a taunt, so it cant go well. Thank you for teaching me the difference btw :)

[@vivoriadj4810]

yeah!! this game is my favorite!! and love this song!!

[@gustiyanmahardika2560]

Lvl 4 Death Quina + Grand Dragon = early lvl up =D

[@_modiX]

Gustiyan Mahardika early lvling up was the most stupid you can do, and I did the same mistake in my first playtimes. You gain stats on level up depending on the things you wear. So to become the strongest possible on all members at lvl 99 you had to beat the game on lvl 1 to get the best equipment to wear before leveling up, finally. You could control the output of your stats by choosing carefully what to wear.

[@gustiyanmahardika2560]

modi X Oh, right, there is such a thing as that. Anyway, it's a matter of preference. If you wait until you get the best equipment before leveling up, suit yourself. But that is a lot of hard shit and game rage if you don't have proper equipments to nullify or absorb damage. I wasn't saying to fight grand dragons until lvl 99, but just enough lvl up to learn some good abilities (especially from coral ring). Then save some lvl for those pesky yans.

[@gustiyanmahardika2560]

***** oh, right, is it level 5? I haven't played FFIX again in a long time.

[@gustiyanmahardika2560]

***** lol, there're so much level x death in FF that I forgot which one's which. Why don't you play it again? I recently started playing FFIX again on my android after a long time but so far I've only reached Vivi's sneak in to Alexandria castle on CD1.

[@_modiX]

***** There is no PC version of FFIX, so there will be no steam version. Get epsxe and play it there. ;) Or get a PS1, but seriously, you can gain better graphics with epsxe, just get the time to setup everything perfect for FFIX.

[@NecroKun2403]

FFIX should get a remake.

[@marisab1cc]

It was a fun time ;)

[@Acelif]

FF9 is one of the greats, i'd recommend checking it out

[@crackedmateria4991]

Any chance you might revisit IX's battle theme and take a new spin on it? I think you've improved over six years and would be curious to see the result! :)

[@xemogasa]

it's such an hipster thing that Manian's Welcome To The Club has over 8 million views

[@sofaris576]

Those Daggers Zidane uses in Dissidia, do they actully show up in FF IX? I only played the game twice but I have not seen them.

I assume the same process can be done like is done for songs from the show, but I know next to nothing about music, so I could very well be wrong

[@Hasteroth]

Bothers me a lil' bit too when people call any electronic music techno. I myself can't keep track of all the genres and subgenres of electronic music, I just know what I like when I hear it.
