Final Fantasy IX - Dark Messenger | Reacting To Video Game Music!

[@joshz2491]

Everybody talks about 10, but 9 was the last game in the series that I enjoyed from start to finish., No crazy growth system has the classic feel of the first six games and asks so many existential questions, this game literally made me appreciate the power of storytelling and cohesive writing because it's so much more digestible than say 7 or 8 for example

[@stef96ify]

Same goes for me, also the cities are built spectacularly, like Lindbulum and Toleno

[@LtCdrXander]

6, 7, and 9 are my favorites. 6 is probably my favorite as far as story/characters go, but 9's gameplay is far more balanced, and 7 is somewhere in between

[@o_oro-q1k]

I like X but i really can't find a part in IX where i wasn't engaged, which is why i prefer it.

[@leserbeacerbe6910]

A true final fantasy in a pure magical universe.

[@h4d3n27]

X was great and have spawned a new generation of FF fans but man, VI/VII/VIII and IX was absolutely jaw-droppingly amazing. That run of sheer creativity with the SNES and the Playstation was just UNTOUCHABLE.

[@Stormfall7]

Final Fantasy IX is my favorite FF game, so naturally I definitely hope you get the chance to experience it someday, Jesse. When I started requesting songs for you, this was one of the first songs that came to mind that I wanted to request. But I decided against it when I saw people already had, so in a way I got one of my own requests in this video. So big thanks for doing this one! Very glad you enjoyed this. And while I don't have a source, I've also definitely heard over and over that FFIX's soundtrack is Uematsu's favorite.

[@terrytong8665]

the visual art is the best of all FF. walking through the scenes is so relaxing & engaging. it feels like a "real world" you are in there.

[@TippyCraft]

Hopefully you can get to "You're not Alone" for FF9 such a great song as well. This entire game is filled with some of FF series best works in music.

[@saltyk9869]

Easily a highlight of the game. Not just the song, but the scene.

[@TippyCraft]

@@saltyk9869 exactly!

[@DrUff92]

YES!

[@DrUff92]

You are not alone and Roses of May are my absolute favorites

[@seonaghjedlicka3570]

Ff9 is my favourite game. By far my favourite final fantasy game

[@nachot6592]

Nobuo totally nailed the feel for this song. It is amazingly fitting for that endgame boss. You're right; it sounds evil, spiteful and proud, at the same time. Great theme for a great character in a pretty epic battle.

[@Lunaria.Praesentia]

There's no enough words to describe how happy I feel that you're gonna play this game, best xmas present for sure haha, thank you Jesse ❤️

[@ManiacalForeigner]

Oddly enough, The Black Mages never covered this song. I know, right? Should've been a no-brainer, but oh well. They *did* however cover the actual final boss theme from FF9: simply called "Final Battle" on the OST, with their version titled "Grand Cross", named after the boss's infamous attack. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on those one day!

[@standaman4578]

didn't they cover grand cross (necron boss theme) though? interesting they didn't do dark messenger... also there's an ocremix album of covers and stuff of FF9 songs called Worlds Apart, it has what's probably my favorite version of dark messenger, the song is called Arxidopita. the first 5 minutes or so of it is Dark Messenger but the song is like 14 minutes long, not sure what the rest of it is a cover of. also there's another really good song on that album called Zero World, it's a cover of Grand Cross (Necron boss theme)

[@Kaij-]

FF9 is the reason my daughter has her name. (Beatrix) it's THE best FF game!

[@Kumiko026]

Omg, my daughter is going to be given that name for the same reason! XD

[@shanewroe18]

I agree.... Ff9 is my fav ff game of all time

[@JMartini810]

I'm new to the channel man and I love that you respect "video game" music because alot goes into this kind of music. I actually got to go to Distant Worlds: Boston which plays FF music and Nubou Uematsu the legend himself playing FF6 Dark World Theme on keyboard is something I'll never forget and also somebody proposing to his wife during the FF10 To Zanarkand song was magic!!! Anyways I can't wait to watch more especially your FF game playthroughs!!

[@Caramaram]

FF8 and FF9 were in production at basically the same time (after the success of FF7 they were like "well we'd better get started on the next two!"), so it's likely that Nobuo was composing their soundtracks at the same time.

[@DownUFO]

There was probably a gap, because Uematsu has mentioned that he composed FF8’s OST while staying home in Hawaii, meanwhile Square flew him around Europe on an all-expenses paid trip so that he could get in the mindset for 9’s OST.

[@budakbaongsiah]

No, it was 9, 10, and 11. They were revealed to people in one announcement.

[@Toksyuryel]

Uematsu's blog posts from when he was working on FF9's soundtrack really show just how overworked he was during this game's production.

[@MTGHedgefund]

I'm glad you enjoyed this prog banger! There's so much to say about FF9 but I'll wait till you play it. I think you will adore the game 😊

[@FrenzVorstellen]

FF9 was my 3rd FF I've played, and still I hold it dear to my heart, so much nostalgia

[@xX_Thaddeus_Xx]

So! If you wanna play FF9, I *highly* recommend playing it with 'The Moguri Mod.' It upscales the backgrounds and textures and gets the game working in widescreen, as well as replicating the OG game's font rather than using the boring Arial that the Steam version comes with natively. Absolutely stellar work.

[@Zephhi]

Yep

[@Lycanthromancer1]

Heck yeah! A much better experience, especially given how beautiful the game is! Updating the graphics to (essentially) HD is fantastic! I always did think the game's graphics were too fuzzy for our own good.

[@Moody.Smiruai]

[@extinctbaryonyx]

But it bugged out the ending scene tho.

[@darshio8307]

The remaster is all right as well

[@gerogedamon1573]

FFIX is by far my favorite in the franchise, would love to see you play it, I'd be here every step of the way !

[@thomaswilliams3690]

Hearing you say that you heard a bit of other FFs while listening to this really sums up the whole feel of FF9 as a whole to be honest. The game is a heartfelt love letter to the rest of the series, and the soundtrack really is some of the best work Nobou has done

[@ZhouTie47]

This is easily my favorite song of FF9. Absolutely the hypest moment for me in the game too.

[@mr.mystere4999]

I won't spoil anything for you, so I will say only this: When you eventually play FF9 and you come to the point where this song plays, I can guarantee you'll have an "Aha! I see now!" moment.

[@millythompsonfromtrigun98anime]

Final Fantasy 9 is my favorite game in the series, even above 7 and 6! I love this theme, it’s so underrated.

[@Nautinthislifetime]

FFIX is absolutely amazing with a fantastic cast of characters. You will absolutely love it. The soundtrack is phenomenal!

[@MrRuffleNeck]

I love final fantasy 9, it's my favorite in the series.

[@Rixstarian]

Giving nil context on what you just heard, I will simply say I hope you find the time to enjoy this, & happy holidays. Glad you liked it.

[@MurakamiTenshi]

Hearing this song is a blast from the past. FF9 has always been my favorite since I was a teen, even back when people used to hate it.

[@usainwult2414]

This game is timeless. My favourite just above X. The game is very unique, even among its bretheren. Awesome reaction Jesse, love your content!

[@Teradyne87]

For a while now I've used the comparison "if Dancing Mad is Uematsu's 'Close to the Edge', Dark Messenger is his 'Roundabout".

[@nintendo64isking]

what would be gates of delerium? one winged angel ;)

[@chroipahtz]

I don't know if Uematsu will ever do another FF game, but he *did* recently compose the music for Fantasian, which was the latest project of Hironobu Sakaguchi (the father of FF). So that's pretty close! There are rumors of an FF9 remake in progress, so maybe he'll return for that like he did with FF7R.

[@SquallSZ]

Arent you afraid of what they will do to ff9 ?

[@Varizen87]

There was an article I saw today (as well as an interview in the Washington Post with him) that said he had an idea for his first ever video game that he wanted to develop. But he says he needs to get someone to fund the project so... His efforts likely might be focused on trying to do a Kickstarter for the near future.

[@SquallSZ]

@@Varizen87 isn't uematsu sick ?

[@Varizen87]

@@SquallSZ He had some health issues in 2010 or so, but no, he is not currently dealing with any major health issues that I'm aware of. He's only about 64. He's active and been making media rounds. Soken recently did an interview with him I believe on the official Square Enix music channel about Uematsu's Vinyl record of FF musical remixes/updates where he revisited old tracks to make them more as he envisioned.

[@SiegahertzCarmin]

Well there is a kid show FF9 in production in France. And that's not a rumor, I talked to one of the studio exec.

[@PabloEnver]

Ok I left a comment asking you to react to this, I see you already did xD keep it up! this soundtrack is incredible.

[@gadielgonzalez2230]

Listening to this track without having played the game is spectacular... Listening to it in that part of the game is 😱😱😱😱😱

[@Kaikenkeru]

So hard to not get lost in his music. What a genius.

[@bd_bandkanon]

I would love to watch you play FFIX live! It's my favorite of the series~ Also Merry Christmas, I hope your day was fantastic!

[@BadyearOakarus]

this song feels like an amalgam (intentional or otherwise) of all the music of the previous games, which for 9 makes a lot of sense

[@APrinnyDood]

God, I love 9 so much. Easily my favorite, truly unique compared to the rest in the franchise imo

[@saltyk9869]

I don't think IX is "unique". I think of it more as the distilled essence of FF. It's the most Final Fantasy game in the franchise. Which is not a bad thing at all. I think there's an argument that it's the best game in the series, even as someone who considers VII as my favorite game of all time.

[@drinnik]

Uematsu considers IX to be his magnum opus.

[@Elidan1012]

Pretty sure I've heard that said about every single FF game by a fan of said game

@@Elidan1012 It's directly lifted from an Uematsu interview about FFIX.

[@blakec8549]

I hear a bit of jenova in there with maybe I'm a lion. I hope you play this game. Terrible load times aside, this was my favorite final fantasy game. And that short character with the hat is my favorite character in all of videogames.

[@Harpsibored]

Heh you looked surprised when the piano came in at 3:31. I think there's a reason he specifically chose piano there but I can't say anything without spoiling other songs in the game. Guess you'll just have to play it.

[@RD48__48]

My Favorite song of all time !!! When i was a kid playing Sonic RPG 7 game with This Song. The Song of Sonic RPG 7 game was This Song. Good Memories...

[@MoogieSRO]

Though 7 will always have the best seat in the theatre of my heart for the time in my life when I first experienced it, 9 is just so different, so unique, and so charming, that it has its own entire chamber reserved for that world alone. A dark fairytale told in deceptively bright visuals; a children's picturebook teaching the meanings of death and life. There's nothing else like it out there, and of course the music is fittingly Nobou-tastic.

[@Arksimon2k]

Wahoo more FF IX at last! I'm not gonna spoil anything because I'd love you to play this one. However I will say there is a leitmotif in this song that you'll hear sort of gradually build up throughout the whole game and it's awesome.

[@suchtruemuchreal34]

I can't wait till you start your Playthrough. This game is absolutely ruthless with Awesome OST. You open the game and it hits you with one of the best tracks instantly, in the Main Menu.

[@DownUFO]

In regards to citing the source of Uematsu's claim of 9's OST being his favorite, here's one quote from Games Industry (dot) Biz in the article Focus On: Final Fantasy Composer Nobuo Uematsu (can't link because KZbin might auto-flag it as spam), "What would you say is your favorite of the Final Fantasy games you've worked on?" to which Uematsu replies, "Final Fantasy IX, both in terms of the game itself, and the music." Although in the same interview, he mentions that his favorite individual song is One Winged Angel. Also worth noting just for the sake of interesting tidbits, he says that his favorite video game music from other games/composers is Kondo's work in the Super Mario series. Another fun bit about the FF9 soundtrack, Square apparently didn't ask for a very big lineup of music, they just gave him a loose list of requests. But he ended up surprising them with over 100 recordings, due to getting so into the process.

[@robintheforeteller]

ff9 is definitely one of my favorite ones aside from 14 as a story and a game. I think it's very emblematic of the series as a whole. Also someone might correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 9 was the last final fantasy sakaguchi and uematsu worked together in.

[@Kitth3n]

If you enjoyed 7 and 8, 9 is a must. Definitely one of the best

[@shinrasenseishadow1575]

The intro and the piano section are my favourite parts of the song

[@not0228]

Aaaaahhh ff ix on stream !??! So excited!!

[@Varizen87]

This is one I've been waiting to see you listen to. FF9 is highly recommended for a play through even if you don't stream it. There's an emotional journey. It's one of the best FFs to be introduced to the series with. It started development as a non-main series Gaiden game that took elements from everything in the past and combined them, especially from the 8 and 16 bit eras. Part way through development it was changed to the 9th entry into the series though. The Main Battle music makes amazing use of the FF1/2/3/4/5/6 Bass Line, (I know you have a long queue, but I do highly recommend checking out maybe a FF Battle Theme compilation video). Melodies of Life is the theme of FF9 and is one of the best pieces in the series. Not to hype up Melodies of Life in a huge way, but when I listen to it now, the message makes me cry a little. But I do think you would enjoy FF9... It's just fun, and the OST is one of the best. And While I'm promoting games I think you'd love... Let's get you to play something that's NOT Final Fantasy... You need more Wild Arms 1, Jesse. If you're playing games just for the music, Wild ARMS is a game I'd put money on that you'd love. It's also available on PSN for a good price.

I’d 100% watch you play through ff9, personally

[@rezahydra]

Talk about a Christmas gift lol, one of the best tracks in the entire series. Other than being the pre-final boss theme similar to Birth of a God in 7, I don’t have much to specifically say other than this: Am I the only one who swears that guitar riff is straight outta Wayward Son?

[@austinmartin612]

All the music for this game is great. It's also my favorite solo play FF game in the main series. I always geek out when I find FF9 related stuff in FF14.

[@zazoreal5536]

When you hear this music kick in....You know you are in for it.

[@peggieschafer485]

I just got done with this one, watching you do FFVII pretty much *made* me go through the PS-era games. I heard FFIX was his favorite as well. There's a running motif for this particular enemy, the baseline being "Immoral Melody" with just piano, another with synth and that heavy drum beat, and this one that cranks it all up to 11. You'll definitely like the game, it feels like a return to the absolute core of Final Fantasy in how its elements came together.

[@gatecruor9292]

The only fact of favorites in FF is that 9 is the FF creaters favorite of all his games as of a video log from like....idk mid 2000's.

I love how there is almost a track in FF9 for every track in FF8 in terms of similarity. Makes sense as the games were made very close together contemporarily.

[@ionamorwenna5564]

One of my absolute favorite themes in all of Final Fantasy. Am I biased towards it because FFIX is my favorite entry with my favorite characters? Probably. Do I care? Not at all. Am I jamming? Absolutely.

[@BaneofTevildo]

You definitely need to also listen to You're Not Alone! from FF9 as well. I've seen both FF9's soundtrack and FF6's soundtrack quoted by Uematsu as his favorite soundtrack.

[@JPRequiem]

Pretty sure most of the square staff say FF9 is their favourite in the series, I know that Sakaguchi's favourite is 9 anyway. I would love to see a remake or remaster. The game is such a treat and i think it was the last 'fantasy' final fantasy

[@Lycanthromancer1]

No spoilers here! FF9 is _definitely_ a game to play, especially if you've enjoyed what you've experienced so far with the Final Fantasy series (and you most definitely have). FF9 blows 8 out of the water on just about all fronts, and it's always been in the top 3 for me! Also, I'm seconding what others have said about using _The Moguri Mod_ if and when you decide to play this on PC. It's such a boost to the overall experience that it really ought to be mandatory these days.

[@Witchtimez]

Oh my God, this is one of the games I've been wanting you to play besides Bayonetta! Please enjoy!

[@mikec5400]

best soundtrack of any game ever...every song is a banger

[@Xagzan]

Well if IX ain't Nobuo's favorite score, it's always been mine. He did go very prog for this track, something that Motoi Sakuraba is also well known for, ie. his work on the Golden Sun games. Heavy prog rock influence. Had a feeling you'd like this one.

[@Zephhi]

I think it is his favorite score lol

[@PHOXXAS]

Consider that a remake is coming. Play it as soon as you can. Final fantasies sometimes are masterpieces.

[@Taifundevilry09]

Yeah, I would really like to watch you playing FF9 too. It's my favorite FF soundtrack (FF6 being a very close second). If you liked FF7 and FF8, I think you will like this one too, the gameplay isn't too different. However, this game does feel more 'classic' compared to FF7 and FF8. It's atmosphere is more cozy and laid back. Some people like it and some people prefer FF7 and FF8 approach. Btw, about this song in particular, try to compare the drums at the beginning with the drums in 'Tyran Castle' from Chrono Trigger (a song you already reacted). Both songs were composed by Nobuo and you can hear some similarities there.

[@zachariousmccool5768]

Nobuo has said that FF9 is his fav soundtrack and it has like 109 (there abouts) and they are all great and yet traditional. ProJared said the best thing about the game. "FF6 is my favorite FF7 is the most important one FF9 is the best one" And its kind of true. Its a refreshing, classic feeling game...while feeling modern (modern for 2000 at least) The OST is a banger and has sooo many good tracks that I highly reccomend you play the game to experience to hear them. Merry Xmas. Also if you liked this, I do reccomend looking up on your own time a video of someone playing "Beat Saber" to this song. Its really cool....like a music video almost.

[@AHylianWarrior]

If you're wondering where the source for the whole "FF9 is Nobuo Uematsu's favourite project", it comes from an interview if you look up "Focus On: Final Fantasy composer Nobuo Uematsu" by Gameindustry Biz (with the usual . between the two words). He also said that Sephiroth's song is his favourite personal track. As for FF9 it's my favourite FF game I love it. The characters are just so loveable (except one character personally but that's the story's fault for introducing them so late, not their fault lol)

[@UltimaOX]

Its funny you say 9 reminded you of others games, as thats kind of the whole point of it. It is filled with homages to all the past FF games as it was originally intended to be the "last one" (before ps2 news changed that). So the game is brimming with heart and soul and you can really tell the team put their all into it. It is def my fav FF game but 14 is a close 2nd. Funnily enough 14, the game that calls back to all past games, had one of its biggest expansions "Shadowbringers" based HEAVILLY from 9, which as a 9 fan, i loved. I hope you enjoy your play if 9, its really cool and if you have played 7 and 8 it helps elevate it i think. (Also 6,5,4,3 as well). The more you know the better.

[@Drew_KaeAskavi]

Ohhhh I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH. FF9 is one of my Favorite ones, could be because it was the first I finished on my own? Or because I just vibed with the story and music. But this is so neat.

[@Malacite]

So without going into major spoiler territory, this is the battle them for the final battle against Kuja. What's really neat about Kuja's theme in general, is that it's a rearrangement of the desert temple music from FFV. Love Kuja, 2nd favorite villain in the franchise after Kefka (and he himself is an amalgamation of Kefka and Sephiroth as part of 9's theme of honoring the entire franchise up to that point)

[@stereoslime]

uematsu is just so good

[@seekittycat]

This song is just so nobuo like he just brought out all his fav instruments and started playing this

[@leftymu]

You're right, this has Uematsu written all over it. It was funny to me when the prog rock game out and you instantly went "this is Uematsu" because it really is textbook. Mostly this reminds me of Tyran Castle from Chrono Trigger. As for Uematsu saying this is his favourite soundtrack...well, I don't have an actual source for that. I've heard a lot of "he has claimed that FFIX is his favourite and work he's most proud of" as well as FFVI being one of his favourites to work on because he was able to experiment properly for the first time. I've never heard it for any of the others, so there could be a bit of truth in both claims. There are a couple of things that make me think it could be true though; before composing for FFIX, he was given a couple of weeks off to travel around Europe for inspiration. He looked at like a lot of old castles and that sort of thing. I think he really did get incredibly filled with inspiration because FFIX was his biggest soundtrack by a decent margin; 140 out of 160 tracks he composed ended up in the game. I think he went _so_ over on FFIX that he burned himself out, because for FFX, for the first time he enlisted other composers to assist; Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano. I'm not saying that it matters either way which is his favourite, and I could be completely wrong, but this is how I feel based on piecing together what I've heard

(Glad I watched the vid full, was gonna spoil FF9 ^^'.) Just finished FF9 on Christmas no less and I highly recommend it. FF7 is the most iconic, but FF9 is objectively the best one, having the deepest characters (mostly) and encapsulating story that is quite profound and worth experiencing at least once. I will say the mix in motifs in this song do a good job in representing the duality of the main antagonist, encapsulating traits of beauty and destruction with the string and organ sections accordingly. All in all, check it out if you have any intrest in FF and Merry Christmas!
