[@CheatOk_2808]

It's been 6 years. Thousands of music videos have been viewed. And this video is still top 1 for me. Thanks!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thank you 🙏

[@SongeLeReveur]

This was so awesome I punched through my monitor and it scared my cat. Crazy thing is I don't even own a computer, nor a cat. That's how good this is.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

+Songe Haha :p Merci dude ;)

[@lepwis]

Then how the....whose cat did you.....and the monitor.......wut?

[@atthecore4560]

I have a hard time getting passed 2:00 without restarting the video from the beginning. This is just so awesome!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks a lot man ! I put a lot of effort into that original intro ^^

[@atthecore4560]

Marc Papeghin - French Horn That intro is the purity of fandom, my friend!

[@lllool8404]

This song’s too good for this world.

[@batira]

Epic collaboration of an epic cover of an epic song. This video can't be tagged "epic" enough.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks man 🤘

[@jonathanadams2955]

I would have given anything to be a singer in this. Singing in a full arrangement of this has been a dream of mine since I started choir 10+ years ago. Phenomenal.

[@LaurentheFlute]

Holy crap. You guys have outdone yourself. I'm really honored to be a small part of it. This is REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

+Lauren the Flute Thanks for being a part of it ! :)

[@vergil-sama1437]

Any Final Fantasy fan would have an eargasm right now. Totally epic.

[@grays42]

I'm surprised this doesn't have more views. This is incredible.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thank you !

[@Dansilveira]

I feel bad for the lead guitarist Guy is shredding the s**t out of the guitar and you can barely hear it

[@sirborges]

I remember when a game magazine explained in details the release of this intro in 1997 E3. And once I could watch it on PS1, I couldn't believe my eyes.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Same for me !! Mindlown 🤯

[@rahviel]

That was A W E S O M E !!! what the hell ? This should have millions views..

[@dreamdiver8878]

It was foretold within the great text that a powerful group of artist when used their power together would forge a legendary force through the essence of music! In other words Amazing job everyone!

[@RoPanuganti]

This is my new standard of home-recording, let alone collaborations and a combination of so many worlds of music. Amazing job everyone.

[@HatTrax]

+SwigglesRP Thanks Ro!

[@lllool8404]

Love your channel!

[@Versudan]

The amount of effort required to pull off a collab like that... Amazeballs, you all deserve whatever accolades you get from this. Not to mention the final product is a work of art. Nobuo Uematsu would be proud.

[@Soundole]

HOLY SHIT. This must have taken a year to mix. What an absolutely epic production. Amazing work all around, this is insanely high quality work.

[@TheCreepypro]

yeah it is! square enix themselves couldn't have done better!

[@WertzuHun]

Holy shit this was epic! All the hard work I can only imagine... It deserves a 100x more views...

[@SuperSonicElite]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BEING A MUSICIAN MYSELF (played trombone, tuba and euphonium ) THIS IS JUST GLORIOUS!!!

[@soloparaplaystation6624]

What a piece of art!

[@Doublekill7499]

Holy crap, there must have been so much work going into this! This is incredible

[@JonnyMcPot]

Marc your channel should have 10 million subs and a trillion views. Fucking AMAZING !!!!

[@Oguz286]

I didn't think it was possible to make a version that's better than the original... Boy, was I wrong! Thank you to all who participated, you just brought a tear to my eye!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks a lot man ! Glad you liked it :)

[@MatthewSHarrison]

Matt, you did an incredible job mixing this behemoth because I can actually hear my bass clarinet! So honored to be a part of this and I'm looking forward to future projects.

[@HatTrax]

+Matthew S. Harrison - Hipnotyk Thanks!! Yay I'm glad you picked it out. I tried to make so you can hear everyone's part in at least one place.... mixing it was quite an experience...

[@TheCreepypro]

one of my favorite pieces of music ever I am blown away by how good this is you guys went above and beyond this is simply phenomenal I can't praise this enough

[@rettosu9792]

[@elfuchibol698]

maestro Jehu un placer encontrarlo

[@vincentaubry3027]

J'étais un peu passé à côté de cet arrangement la première fois, notamment parce que je le trouvais un peu violent dès le début... Mais ouah, à le réécouter après une boucle du jeu, j'ai rarement entendu une telle puissance! Quelle orchestration! Quelle dimension épique! Magnifique travail, bravo! Et quelle fidélité à l'oeuvre, c'est un équilibre pas évident à trouver, bravo et merci!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Merci beaucoup Vincent ! Ce ne fut pas une mince affaire que de produire ce morceau, je n'ai pas compté les heures de boulot dessus ^^ Mais ça en valait la peine je pense :)

[@melkywagiu742]

speechless.. this should be the ost if they make a remake.. it's fataliamazing😎

[@Gejehh43]

Quel déchainement de puissance! J'ai été bluffé (flingué) en voyant pleins de têtes connus, c'est une magnifique union d'artistes que voilà! Congratulation à vous tous, ça vends du rêve que vous fabriquez pour le monde entier!

Franchement, c'est magnifique. Tu arrives une fois encore à faire encore mieux que l'oeuvre original qui est pourtant un chef d'oeuvre intemporel.

[@jamalix-music]

Mixing and editing this many parts must have been a huge ton of work! The result however is absolutely stunning, wow!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

It sure took dozens of hours to put it all together ^^ Thank you !

Holly **** man!!!!!!!!! I believe this should be the most epic arrangement/video on the collective by now.

Still one of my favorite tracks that I've had the chance to sing on with Materia Collective:) Anytime folks tell you choir can't be fun..... show them this:)

[@GagaTukiTuki]

Marc, please nerver stop being such an incredible talented and passionate musician! Enjoy and appreciate you work for years... you're a big enrichment for music! Wish you all the best for 2017 - Cheers from germany

vielen Dank !

[@KRUA]

This is so cool... I have no words, this arrangement awesome

[@kostassofis]

Everything's amazing even the vocals are great. If they ever remake the game they need to seriously consider adding this version in... I can't get enough of this

[@shadowofcallisto1560]

Fantastic!!!!!!!!! Everyone involved should be immensely commended for their performances!!!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks !! We really had a blast putting all of this together :)

[@dirkdiggler2218]

Wow man thanks so much for making the arrangement and assembling all these people for this. I’m still playing this game 20 years later and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate the love you showed the music. This is my favorite piece of music in any final fantasy (and one of my favorite games of all time) and you totally did it justice!

[@snarfi17]

WHY AM I SEEING THIS JUST NOW? it's 2022, blow this up pls!

[@dDAMSEb]

Why I didn't see this before!? It is just perfect! It deserves much much more views and likes!! Love this game and love this song. It is probably one of the best videogame song I've ever listen. And you really enhaced it! 4 years later.. but CONGRATS AND THANKS!!!

[@Earnian]

This is OUTSTANDING! Amazing job! Jealous of all the talent in this video!

[@Dreamingdansirdan]

SO GOOD! *goes to find his FFVIII copy* I want to play so badly now.

[@tylocook]

WOW! This is by far the best cover of this song I have ever heard. The sheer effort it must have taken to put together so many tracks from remote artists and who all clearly loved this piece...which is certainly one of Nobuo's best. It's so interesting to hear such a strong piece be the opening of FF8 and reminds me so much of the final boss fight from FF7. It all nearly brought me to tears, thanks for making this.

[@SOY_DIOS774]

La mejor canción que eh escuchad hasta ahora

[@raizero8431]

I'm glad that you're still doing a huge collaboration with all these talented musicians to recreate my all-time favorite tracks I grew up with throughout the years. I hope you could keep this going for as long as you can because your content is simply the best out there and I'm telling that's an understatement coming from me. It's just hard to describe how magnificent your arts were. I also appreciate the inclusion of in-game scenes and gameplay. I just love all the efforts you guys have put into all your videos. Much love from us, your fans.
