It caught me by surprise how much I appreciated the extra effort for the opera here. This was always a special part of this game. I'm glad to see the people at SquareEnix realize it too.

[@GiordanDiodato]

I wonder if they'll ever do a full remake in the style of Octopath. you never know.

I played the original years back and eagerly waited for this scene...but i was not expecting ACTUAL singing. My jaw dropped, my eyes welled up.....this was so, so good.

[@Marcelelias11]

I very rarely cry for anything, no matter how sad or emotional it is, but seeing new life being breathed into my childhood, to see this scene as beautiful as I imagined to be when I first played this game as a kid, that did it for me. I haven't cried like this in a long, long time.

[@bottleface]

Listening to it, my friend and I felt like we could make out the words (by reading the lyrics and listening to the sounds). We knew it wasn't the actual voices but it pushed the SNES to its limits and thus was just as moving. This was great hearing the actual singing but the SNES version will always be special.

@@Ebani it’s called nostalgia. I’ve heard both, i love the remaster version so much more. People say her singing is bad, but I really like it personally

[@TheMapleTurtle]

The true beauty of Final Fantasy 6 is how they will make a really serious scene, follow it up with a crazy premise (Octopus Prince jumps the show) and then just roll with it. It's almost the same with Doma castle; You meet Cyan after the tragedy, but then he crashes the magitek armor through the nearby camp.

[@RocknMike09]

I just realized the scene where Celes throws the flowers off the side of the castle foreshadows a devastating moment much later in the story. What a well thought out masterpiece this game is. Hits you in the feels

[@nobgs4505]

I love how while it's clear Celes isn't trained for this, that's the whole point as the goal was simply to draw out Setzer. She's NOT a trained opera singer, she's a general. But yet she still sounds beautiful in her own way, and it gives the scene charm that no other version of the game has, especially with the 2D-HD treatment for the scene. This is easily the BEST scene in the enitre series for me with the vocals and asthetics. Edit: If I had known people were going to call me wrong AND stupid just for sharing my own opinion on the scene I wouldn't have said anything. I'm keeping this up for posterity but my god.

[@Kbtoy789]

I highly doubt that this was intentional. She sounds like a real opera singer in all of the other languages… And the game implies that she pretty much nailed it.

[@VSMF]

@@Kbtoy789 you are right he is wrong.

[@giljos77]

Setzer would not have kidnapped her with such performance, he would notice it's a trap, besides she is a General no a simple soldier, I think she would be trained in different arts since childhood and would at least try to sound a bit like a real opera singer to caught Setzer.

[@celius6421]

I think it's likely intentional that she sounds untrained. The classic opera vibrato is unmistakable, and is a hallmark of the genre. It's actually a consequence of the singing technique and is not as controlled as one might think. In other words, an opera singer does not purposely sing with that amount of vibrato, it just happens. So if you don't hear that vibrato, the singer is not using "proper" technique. Though personally I find the amount of vibrato obnoxious even though it's "proper" lol

[@NoxLegend1]

I think A lame excuse for it to sound so weird. Why can't she be a good singer and that be believable when people suplex trains and she is out there destroying gods and gigantic monsters from hell and she weighs 90 lbs.

[@christopherorta8755]

I was watching my friend play this yesterday. Before we got to the opera he said it was one of the best, if not the greatest, scenes in video game history. I honestly think the same. I damn near ugly cried watching this lol.

[@cls31219]

I remember picking the wrong lines on purpose just to see what Celes would say, it was hilarious

I like how her singing is kind of bad, because it sounds like someone that's never sang in her life singing for the first time, and that's the situation Celes was in.

[@ornvik481]

[@maxstone9999]

Lol I thought it was great, both the male and female voice actors. I guess I am a complete amateur when it comes to musical appreciation. I know it was great because I started tearing up from the sheer beauty when celes starts singing. Just to me. I guess I am easy to please.

[@Konic_and_Snuckles]

Her mouth moves to the words in the original SNES version. It's so bizarre that Square Enix changed her mouth to be static in the Pixel Remaster, which is clearly a downgrade. I have to assume this was due to added multi-language support and the relative complexity (or laziness) of the dev team to make lip syncing work across each language.

That's because they used the HD/2D engine they created for Octopath for this one section. They are remaking their first game in this engine Live A Live (the first game made by the creator of chrono trigger but never released outside japan and often said to be one of the best rpgs) They have said they plan to do more remakes in this engine so maybe this was a sorta test to see ow people would react to ff6?

I was excited when I heard that they'd redone the music for the pixel remasters. Now I know people are nostolgic and some do prefer the original snes chiptune. However as someone who played this years after, and while listening to all the redone fan covers, I can safely say this is accurate to the original intent with the opera sequence. Its like taking all the best parts of some of the fan covers and reworking some of the live preformances done by Uematsu himself. The 2.5 D is also an interesting approach to a remaster of the game. I see many people saying they should have just done a staight 2d port, which I don't see much of a point in. There is already the gba version, the ios version, and the playstation version. There would literally be no point in another straight 2d port.

[@StrikerTheHedgefox]

This is the only part of the game that has any 3D effect. The rest of the game is entirely 2D. I *wish* they would have spent the effort to do the whole game like this, but the rest of it's a pretty much a straight 2d port with a lot of bugs, incorrect (Narche is displayed as a generic cave on the world map in PR, unlike the original which showed a city in the mountains.) or shrunken sprites in some cases (due to being adapted to the GBA's small vertical resolution, which this PR based its sprites on. Makes some bosses look less imposing.) and really contrasting overworld tiles taken from the GBA version (which were brightened to almost looking neon to compensate the non-backlit LCD). Also, some scenes and exchanges from the original Japanese SFC release were removed. Though, this has been the case for years... just, kind of disappointed that it's still happening in 2022.

[@johnpaulyoshida5690]

@@StrikerTheHedgefox true, I meant this scene as a whole, rather the whole game. People keep throwing around demands for what they wanted from this port. I don't seem the point in the purist perspective. That being a port of the game with no changes, no updated Sprite or background work, or orchestrated ost. There are many ports that already exist to fill that purpose. The pixel remasters are interesting in that they can both keep the charm of the original while taking advantage of modern tech to enhance music and Sprite detail.

In the dressing room, when Celes asks Locke why he stood up for her, in the SNES version I played as a kid, Locke says he once abandoned someone when she needed him, and Celes says "Somewhere inside, you were saving her, weren't you?" Celes begins to understand Locke's guilt and shows empathy for him. But in the more accurate translation of the GBA and Pixel Remaster versions, Celes says "Am I just a replacement for her?" and Locke doesn't answer. It makes Celes so much more vulnerable- she isn't sure whether Locke really has feelings for her, or is just trying to make up for failing to save Rachel. And it makes her later actions much more understandable.

[@markh995]

That IS a good point. I never put two and two together with this dialogue and later events in the story.

[@is5000]

I don't like how Pixel Remaster is pixelated. Original version on CRT is not pixelated at all everything is round and sharp and nice.

[@markh995]

Yeah that's what gets me about people who love the retro pixel sprite look. None of us liked jagged sprites even back then, and the CRT helped mask all of the jaggies.

[@breakfastatepiphanies]

God I hope they remake the entire game in the 2D-3D style like Octopath someday.

[@MyGamer125]

I genuinely want a full opera of this.

[@matthew-005]

Wow so this is why people are so passionate about this scene unfortunately I never got to play this as a kid FF7 was my first I am still working my way through from FF1 but people keep telling me about this I had to see what the fuss was about.

[@markh995]

Dude, it's so much, much more. Everything about this game is epic, even a scene you would expect to be a throwaway turns out to be a work of art all to itself. It's not even my favorite part of the game by a mile, and it's still amazing.

[@matthew-005]

@@markh995 No you miss understood my what I mean is this is just one scene and it's already blown me away and there was so much put into this scene the singer doesn't sound professional but sounds good which reflects the fact that the character in the game was also good but still an amateur filling in. That level of detail along with the art and music in just his one scene shows the development team enjoyed making this game and put thier passion into it I like modern games usually are. The intro is also very well done to however I have still not gotten around to pay FF6 yet but still hyped for when I get around to it for now loving the earlier games and taking my time with them.

Curtains open at 3:17 Celes goes on at 6:40

[@PlaystationTalks]

Wow this sounds and looks amazing Deamcastguy made it sound like this part was horrible and ruined it what a damn lie

[@raymondstrife8110]

that is why, like the old days, you saw a game--->look at the cover----->look at the screenshot on the back of the cover----->play the game---->if it sucks, you stop and sell it--->move on to the next game. Review nowadays can't be trusted anymore, they can be possibly bribed or something like that and 1 thing, everybody has their own preference. If there is a reviewer says hamburger is bad, that doesn't mean the hamburger it's self is not delicious and vice versa.

Beautiful. It is so magnificent to finally see and hear Tom Slattery's masterful translation in a fully voiced version. Square Enix did well.

[@NynySanMusic]

I can't wait for Final Fantasy VI Remake. 😍😍

[@markh995]

I've been waiting ever since the PS1 came out. People don't understand the level of fairy tale geniuses they had working for Square and anime in general from the late 80s to the mid 90s. Starting with FF7, square loses its mind and becomes obsessed with emo pretty boys covered in belts and zippers and shit. Plots become convoluted garbage.

[@GSmashGaming]

I was really excited about this.

[@humanaesthetic]

Wow. It's like they idealized a core memory of mine. I've always loved this scene.

[@bwctubes]

This scene made a huge impact on me back when I was a kid playing this game (as 'Final Fantasy III') on SNES. One of the most magical musical moments in a game already FULL of magical music. At the time it had the greatest OST in video game history.

[@Daederik]

I don't like Celes' singing in this...context or not with the story, I actually preferred the old SNES somehow in that regard. HOWEVER, they included the opera done in various languages, and most of those are absolutely excellent, so because we have the options I think overall this was handled great. Especially like how they did the scenery. God I love this game, can't wait to get back into it this weekend, it's been too long.

[@szinyk]

Yeah, the singer is just... Meh. Doesn't sound like opera singing, sounds more like an anime fan cover. Good music otherwise.

[@jordankolb2976]
