Final Fantasy VI - Opening Theme [Remastered]

[@beartackle]

When I was a teenager, I would record this intro on a cassette and play it over and over again. Those were good times. 😊

[@edgarhayduke712]

Same, but with the ending music.

[@Oksenholt]

Me too...but eventually bought the soundtrack on 3 cds from squaresoft for like 30 bucks

[@zealsgaard]

I did this with Chrono Trigger, too!

[@bcrossfire1219]

Hands down the best opening sequence of any Final Fantasy game, ever.

[@assiaelmabrouki5552]

That's facts! Absolutely great opening

[@andrewteves496]

Mmmmm... well FF7 pretty sick too tbh...

[@GlobalWarmingSkeptic]

FFVI had the best intro in the history of all games, bar none. When you see those magitek bots walking in a 3D landscape with particle physics, and to think this was done on hardware that wasn't supposed to produce these kinds of things, you understand how great the SNES era was and how sad people like me still are to see that it's gone, even after 20 years.

[@Gomka99]

Dammn

[@nathaneltitane]

Amen.

[@deadchannel8965]

This is my favorite final fantasy of all time and this opening theme will always be the best

[@Spacefrisian]

In my oppinion the Xenogears intro was better, but that was an animated one on the PSX.

[@Zeta9966]

Best "music"... intro or not. By far, the absolute best of all time. But yes, the intro set up such an ominous vibe that no game has matched since. The pinnacle of the entire series.

[@joshpeacock2951]

2:40 This moment in the song gives me goosebumps to this day. I can still remember laying on the floor on my stomach, a pillow tucked under my chin, as a child and hearing this the first time I played it damn near twenty years ago. Nobuo Uematsu is a musical wizard.

[@Evravon]

The other day, I randomly just started humming that melody out of nowhere. I haven't played this game in two decades, and I didn't recognize what the melody was from. I scoured the internet trying to find what this melody was. I never did figure it out and went to bed with an earworm. Fast forward to today, a friend of mine is talking about how the music from FF16 slaps hard, and I commented that the music from every game is fantastic, especially FF6. I came and googled this, saw your comment, clicked that exact time stamp, and boom, there that melody is again. I would never have figured it out.

All hail the greatest game in history I'm 27 now and I come back to these sound tracks from the game for the best nostalgia ever the music when you get to the empire really sets the mood for or when travelling in the air ship searching for your friends. Good thing they remastered on mobile still same old graphics better sounds though

[@Chris-pq8md]

I always love the beautiful part in the middle, but its the beginning part with that horrifying organ that always gets me the most hype.

[@SWOTHDRA]

Yup

[@Accesserised]

[@dowskivisionmagicaloracle8593]

+Drow87 FFIV had a better story with more depth. For example some characters died while others betrayed the team. FFVI sacrificed this for customizable teams.

[@yokonakajima75]

@@dowskivisionmagicaloracle8593 no FF6 story had more depth along with deeper character development and overall was the most complete game in the series. There is a reason why it's the most acclaimed game in the series.

this was such an amazing opening theme song. FFVI still has got to be one of my favorite final fantasy other then VII =) Nobuo Uematsu is just an amazing composer. FF just isn't the same without him.

[@VictorSevenTV]

God I want a 3d remake of this game like they did for FF7 so bad...

[@Royfokker73]

I'd prefer one that just had some updated graphics but stuck to the original game unlike the 7 remake.

[@gabrielediacodimitri6252]

We wanted to see this amazing story and setting in a realistic and actually immersive rendition and instead we got to have a remaster everyone seems to be so thrilled about. Don't get me wrong, I love the original and it's kinda cute we are having an update. But this obviously means a remake is not even remotely on their plans. And it hurts.

[@FormandoEmGreysAnatomy]

[@Arthaslepeureux]

You know, thiking of it, most Final Fantasy games could be excellent movie-adaptations if they are rewritten correclty like Lord of the Rings or Harry potter. Dear Hollywood who is missing ideas...

[@suburbanindie]

There is currently a blight of "franchises" watering down everything, not really sure how Final Fantasy would help. Too many people with too many ideas that aren't even coherent, it's impossible to make this into a movie. Maybe a Netflix series? But two hours is not enough, and nobody wants to watch another thousand movies full of cliffhangers and plots that make it so nobody has to see the beginning for anything continuity.

Huh-what? I went there expecting to find something to nitpick, but it's a flawless transition. (I also really like how he doesn't speed up the melody in Terra's Theme, which I keep hearing people do in other remasters).

[@samuelaquino7857]

Eu gosto desta melodia devido a cada uma de suas camadas. Primeiro uma introdução dramática e depois a melodia adquire um tom mais sombrio, misterioso, e poderoso que marca o prelúdio de uma grande jornada , e finalmente, a melodia torna-se mais agridoce, e triste - possivelmente uma referência serena à jornada de auto-descoberta da personagem Terra. Uma jornada cheia de amizade, amor, coragem e tragédias.

I loved this game as a kid. I wish they would remake it. I had the book so I got every possible character and item . I turned the cursed shield into the paladin shield. I got the Illumina sword and if you choose the ragnarok esper over the sword you can steal it off the final boss Kefka and equip it during battle.
