Fisherman’s Horizon Ambience - Final Fantasy VIII - Relaxing Sound, Nature and Music

[@terryhand5871]

20 years ago I was a teenager going through several rough patches, mostly due to problems at school (bullies and the like). Every day I would come home and play FF8 (and eventually 9 then 10, just like my whole generation 🤣), and waiting for the moment every day, tied in with my happy home (great parents, I was lucky), got me through a real tough time at school. Now, I am in my thirties, I have gone back to education and am currently trawling through my second year of an Astrophysics integrated masters degree, and it's real hard (I also have two kids, so you bet I'm going gray early). But what does my brain do to help me get through it? Final Fantasy music on, continuously in the background while I study and work. This channel is an absolute gem. Thank you ❤.

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Loved this message. Also got two kids and working hard on the grind. Keep going friend!

[@michaeledwards8472]

Amen bud!!!!

[@scunny]

Games were my escape too through tough times growing up, and FF8 was a part of that for me also ❤

[@tarutso]

Good on you mate. Crack on

[@KSoftGames25]

I swear, I can still hear the sound of FF8's footsteps breaking the silence in my mind. 😆

[@catironstone]

So true my friend 🥺

[@kristoradion]

omg yes!

[@jerrym6545]

I'm torn between 8 and 10 as the best

[@jaimevenegas5582]

I used to remember playing the game and think wow that's a real chill song. Now as I got older, I'm not alone in my thinking. Sucks getting older but it's fun to look back. All part of life if you guys have kids take a interest in their games cuz when they get older they be just like us.

[@FinalFantasyChill]

My daughters are a bit too young to play games, but when they are you better believe I'm going to be interested.

[@xcaluhbration]

That's great advice. I have fond memories of playing video games with my mother and father as a 3 year old. My wife and I play Roblox with the kids all the time now and Mario kart or whatever it is they're interested in, it's one of the cool bonding habits we've developed with them and I'm sure it'll pay off for them in the long run... At least I sure pray it does 🤣

[@FinalFantasyChill]

@@xcaluhbration Roblox seems like a good starting point for kids and gaming. Maybe I'll try that one soon!

[@temperedglass1130]

Games are filled with indoctrination now. Typical soy parents let them play.

[@Aurachan787]

Fisherman's Horizon was a great choice for an ambience video. It's such a unique town and it happens to have an amazing theme too! I'm going to enjoy listening to FFVIII's music by the sea!😊

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Thank you, it was such a fun video to do!

[@Mcpblackheart]

You should check out my rendition of Fishermans horizon

[@michaelcolphotocinema]

I want to live there when I’m old

[@FinalFantasyChill]

There is part of me that agrees. The other part of me thinks fisherman's horizon would smell bad, old rusty machinery, fish and run down seaside town smell. Holiday home? Most definitely

[@jc6218]

@@FinalFantasyChill I think for some of us those things are part of the charm.

[@gfecsvrvevrrb]

ohh man.... the radio...... 10/10

[@kmbdbob]

Nobuo Uematssu is a genius. No one did any game music like he did.

[@noelluna9012]

I completely agree

[@sebastianvakarian9773]

The way his soundtracks reflect the mood of certain areas is something that is an amazing feat.

[@ryanzamora155]

When I was a high school teen playing this game, the music alone made me feel nostalgic for the "good old days" when I was 7 - 10 years old. When I was a recently-graduated adult driving to work with this playing in my wireless earphones, the music made me feel nostalgic for the "good old days" from the time I was in high school up until I graduated from university. Now, as I listen to this in my 30s... my mind goes back to the same period. Ahhh how time flies...

[@FinalFantasyChill]

@ryanzamora155 exactly the same, it's that vivid it reminds me of specific smells.

[@B1lackjack21]

There's a spot near the water where I live that always reminds me of this town when it's gray out and I see all of the boats and it takes me back to a simpler time. Now, looking for something chill to fall asleep to I'm back there again so thank you 🙏

[@kanatapaw]

loved the area with the cats in this village

[@SarahsKnight0]

Say what you will about FFVIII's problems, as seemingly most fans think it has many, but the soundtrack is among the best in the entire franchise, if not the. Only about ten minutes in so far and I can't wait for my personal favorite VG track of all time, Ami, to come up.

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Really hope you enjoy our version of Ami! I'm with you, VIII was a very experimental game in a lot of ways, which I loved, there was nothing safe about it. The aesthetic as well, sublime!

[@SarahsKnight0]

@@FinalFantasyChill Turns out I did enjoy your version of it. Thanks. =)

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Thank you!!

[@jaimevenegas5582]

The graphics was phenomenal. Gameplay was good too. But the damn random battles pissed me off. Until the end where you can turn them off.

[@dash_r_media]

I don't know that it's the best ST, but the best pieces from it are incredible. I'd put up FFVIII's best ten against any other game: Fisherman's Horizon (duh) Blue Fields (I don't like the arrangement in-game, but it's a phenomenal piece) Julia Fragments of Memories The Castle Silence and Motion (again, the in-game arrangement isn't great) Slide Show Part 2 Dance With The Balamb-Fish Liberi Fatali Under Her Control

[@Le-pc8bb]

When I listen to old RPG soundtracks, memories of my childhood adventures always come back to me. And the desire to abandon this gray adult life and live unforgettable adventures only increases, yearning for my "final fantasy"

[@FinalFantasyChill]

I feel you. That's when I start my yearly playthrough and escape for a bit.

[@trueborn25]

This brings back so many memories!!

[@kanetheheatsink]

Thank you so much for creating this! I have lost count of all the times I've played this while working. Would absolutely love one similar to this of FFVII and FFIX with the kind of "lo-fi" style and ambience

[@FinalFantasyChill]

We did the midgar train in this style. If you have a look on our channel. IX we just did a rain one, watch this space for a full area one.

[@TrungNguyen-zm9jl]

sometimes you open the game, make your way to Fisherman Horizon, and...stand there... listening to its music...for no particular reason....

[@felipek.165]

Beautiful

[@timothygallagher8744]

wow ff8 is always my fav game and loveable sound track.. but time compression hit me this time on this particular run through like ive never really heard it. you nailed it man wit the background sounds holy shit..

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Thank you, super flattering words. I loved doing this one so much.

[@timothygallagher8744]

​@@FinalFantasyChill yea for sure. I just started checking out some of your other work, which are also my fav sound tracks and games. Zelda and donkey kong. I'm sure you have more, but those are the ones I started with. That sung epona song was absoutly crazy lol. But ff8, and even people in the ff community wont really say this. If you liked ff8 above others, thats probably because of the story, and ff8 is the love story. Lot of love in those tracks. And that Ada wong, eyes on your song. I hear bits of that song in alot of other music. It's kind of embedded in stuff ranging from disney to elvis presley lol. FF8 might not have been the pioneers of that, and perhaps it's just special to me because its my child hood fav game. But that I try to sing myself, sometimes, some parts of these tracks just kind of find their way into more mainstream stuff.

[@sealie7743]

Love this one I keep listening to it while working ❤️

Love how you let the the ocean just ride out in the end. Awesome stuff

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Thank you! I enjoyed doing the sound design, I had it playing by itself while I edited parts and it worked well. I've tried to do parts of pure ambience at the end of all the ambience videos we do.

[@Luca-bel]

@@FinalFantasyChill ayy that’s dope. I haven’t seen any ambience with like a snow storm in the background or a beach shore. That’d would be cool. Oh and maybe wind blowing through the trees !

[@butterschunkmcdonalds5333]

I avoided this game for so long because I've heard a lot of mixed things about it, Often seen people say it's one of the worst in the series, But then I'd see others swear it's one of the best. Finally started my own playthrough of FF8 a few weeks ago and as someone who loved both 7 & 9, I'ma be real, I think 8 holds up to both pretty damn well, Other than the junction system which ill admit i still don't fully get, I really don't see how someone could play 8 and say it's not worth it. The atmosphere alone makes it worth playing if your a sucker for that sort of thing like me, The backgrounds are gorgeous and the OST is seriously one of the best in the series. The characters aren't anything too special but I actually think Squall is a great main character, One of the most relatable characters in the series for me, And the story was shockingly engaging, Especially after hearing so many dog on it over the years, Overall I think it's a beautiful game, And for as weird and unique as it is, I still think it's one of the most underrated JRPGs I've played.

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Damn right

goddamn i never played through FF8 but i know all the music so well.

[@FinalFantasyChill]

It's definitely worth a playthrough, VIII tends to be divisive but i love it.

[@RichardGrat]

For the fans, an idea : you can try to play from the start to the end of the game, only using Limits This was my favorite way to play, just for add new challenges Try and add FUN !!!!!!!

[@timothygallagher8744]

any chance you can do a loop of salt flats :D :D fawk compressor and time compression so proper also :D :D Theres just so many hitters on here

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Thanks mate! Yeah sure, I want to do an ambience of salt flats. I'll do an 8 hour of it as soon as I get chance.

[@Phoenix1664]

Hi, just a minor point but you've got 'Tell Me' and 'Trust Me' mixed up. It's the other way around, Trust me is the first one and Tell me is the one later on. :-)

Ah damn, thank you for pointing that out!

Nope, I did some post production to make it sound like it was coming from a speaker.

[@keibrowse9329]

I wonder what would the younger generation have for relaxing nostalgia considering how most games now are faced paced, cheap throwaway gatcha games for hype, not to mention highly based on gambling and segs.

[@keibrowse9329]

Final Fantasy quality has also been dropping throughout the years. Or do the younger generations find the newer FF games soothing and relaxing as well?

[@FinalFantasyChill]

Animal crossing

[@irwanyu2668]

Very bad music quality 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@FinalFantasyChill]

It's playing out of the radio in the animation, it's painfully obvious.
