[@DailyCorvid]

Marc! Hope you are well and you've all had a great NY and Christmas What are you doing this year, any new stuff on the horizon? Thanks for all your work so far, I keep coming back to what I imagine is your University stuff... The FF4-9 catalog, it is all 100% pure prime beef :D

[@Marc_Papeghin]

@@DailyCorvid Hey there ! Sorry for the late answer, I'm only seeing this comment now 😁 Very glad you've been enjoying my FF medleys ! Ultimately I'd like to make one for every FF (well, at least all the ones that I've played ^^) so who knows, maybe in the future a new one will pop up 😃

[@dennisbenazzi]

Years keep passing by, yet I'm still here listening to this masterpiece.... Thanks man for giving us this piece of art (and of course thanks to everybody who collaborated with you) 😊

[@DeathKidd098]

I come back to this video yearly specifically for fishermans horizon cover.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

How about a full-length version of it ? :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeQmKKphaqSa68si=fC-NveZnkT3pcULl

[@AICabal]

Anyone else blown away that the quality of the cut-scenes are still good by today's standards?

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Yep ! Still looks beautiful to me :)

[@steeveewuzzheer1992]

AICabal AICabal the settings in this game, all being pre rendered backgrounds, will probably look good forever. This and the older resident evil games share a similar style and they all hold up visually in that respect. It's pretty cool.

[@thecollector5887]

Wouldn't have expected less from a time when technology was less a crutch on art and more of a enhancement of art.

[@DailyCorvid]

yup lol

[@gatzc]

Quistis still takes my breath away

[@chocobo8841]

8 years later and I still listen to this medley. It is so special to me, FFVIII is one of my favorite FFs and you all did it justice. This medley evokes a great feeling of nostalgia on me, it makes me relive some great moments of my life and can't thank you enough for creating it.

[@8909lee]

me too! Love it so much.

[@Goual]

found out about this channel 9 years later, and I absolutely love it. WTH are you doing YT algorithm, seriously

[@AtinPiano]

Truly epic. My greatest respect to all the great musicians who contributed to this and incredible work from Marc. The amount of talent and time it requires to arrange, organize and finish this is beyond words.

[@CoverSolutions]

You REALLY deserve more credit for this videos. Thanks so much for making these and congratulation from a fellow youtuber.

[@Lunareste]

Listening on the game's 23rd anniversary....still my favorite music ever. Brings tears to my eyes when the sax at 16:03 starts.

[@dennisbenazzi]

Everytime the Balamb Garden part starts I get chills....the piano is perfect for that melody!

[@gilgamesh310]

Nobuo Uematsu's music certainly played a huge part in me enjoying this series so much. The fact that he's now done with the series, empties its soul a lot.

[@patrickkrohl3612]

I just love your Fishermans Horizon cover so much. I can't even tell how much strength this song is giving me whenever I'm feeling helpless and unmotivated!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks a lot, that surely means a lot to me ! And I have good news for you today, just click on the following link :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeQmKKphaqSa68si=fC-NveZnkT3pcULl

[@ferdk16]

This is the most amazing thing I've seen ever

[@tanan7325]

wp

[@harperharper6343]

White powder???🤔

[@Duhemsounds]

What can I say ? 2020 still the best FF VIII medley :)

[@DailyCorvid]

It's the ONLY good one! Well since I heard Marc's one first, now every time I listen to another one I think it sucks :D

[@8909lee]

Still the best till today 2024

[@fantasyguy86]

All Final Fantasy fans and all who love fantastic music must listen to this, absolutely stunning!! Truly a work of art!!!

[@robbaskerville253]

Just discovered this today. Absolutely brilliant stuff. Glad to say FF VIII music still hits as hard decades after I first played the game.

[@ladyreemz86]

Just came back here to say that even us participators in this blend of musical awesomeness can't stop listening to it after almost a decade 🙂

[@dgosma]

I really hope all of you folks watch this and feel really proud of yourselves. This is a really inspiring effort and I hope folks start to pay more attention to your incredible musical and artistic skill!

[@RPS_FFRK]

Fisherman's Horizon, what a limit break, FF VIII has a lot of calm and soothing music.

[@ladyreemz86]

love the analogy! thank you so much!

[@WonderBlubber]

Fisherman's Horizon comes in and so do a couple tears. Incredible work as always, Marc, and bravo to everyone who contributed their talent here. This is why I subbed.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Many thanks ! 10 years after we have just released a full 7-min version of our Fisherman song :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeQmKKphaqSa68si=HgYsa2l0CYFIL36L

[@VinS230]

Bravo à tous les musiciens qui ont participé à ce Medley ! Rahh ce moment de nostalgie ! Tiens j'vais me refaire FFVIII pour la 36ème fois ! Très impatient de découvrir la deuxième partie en tout cas !

[@silviangc8486]

This is still so good so many years later. Bravo sir!! Can't believe it doesn't have more views. This is the best tribute to FFVIII ever!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks man !!

[@tenshismarmotte]

Etant née dans les années 90 (pile cette année là en fait mwaha), je me souviens encore parfaitement de ce jeu car il m'a le plus marqué. J'ai débuté mes premiers jeu et à devenir Fan de la saga FF avec cet opus et par la suivre, continuer à suivre et jouer aux jeux de Square Enix (SquareSoft à l'époque). Merci beaucoup, c'est un très bon medley, bravo ! Ce FF est mon préféré, je continue d'ailleurs à y jouer de temps en temps. J'aimerais tellement une version HD avec les moteurs graphique d'aujourd'hui mais on peut toujours rêver XD

[@behemothokun]

My favourite game of my childhood aswell. If I ever should be rich (like really, really rich) I would propose to Square Enix to make a proper remake and would pay for the development so they don't need to worry about return of investment or some corperate bullshit... but yeah, we can only hope about such a think to happen on it's own. Maybe with some remakes of their best era (FF6-10), maybe they would realize what made those games so good and special and maybe they would make a good game again... but they definetely turned to the worse after they fused with Enix.

[@mpapeghin]

Oui malheureseuement ça n'a pas l'air d'être trop leur trip ( alors que des millions de fans ne demandent que ça ! ) Merci en tout cas ;)

[@okikdarmawan3117]

been a year now, and I dont even bored wathcing this vid.. Absolutely epic

[@cloud1414]

as soon as the vocals happened, i got goosebumps. AMAZING!

[@knowledgewisp]

2 years later, still rocking this medley from time to time. Brings back my childhood. Thanks +Marc Papeghin!

[@ugignadl]

I always come back to this. I love it. Thank you Marc and collaborators. Years of enjoyment

[@ZephyrielFR]

This brought tears to my eyes. Thanks to all who participated in this great piece (and the second part of course).

[@HexEssence]

Je ne me lasserai jamais de tes chansons, Marc. MERCI.

[@ScheherazadEify]

This is ridiculously amazing... I can't even.. GREAT job on arranging and putting all this together. Wow p.s ladyreemz86 vocals and lyrics are just beautiful~

[@mpapeghin]

Thank you :)

[@ladyreemz86]

seeing as i'm re listening to all this and seeing some comments for the first time, a belated THANK YOU SO MUCH is in order!

[@ladyreemz86]

I seriously can't get enough of listening to this! So much memories of this game compiled in 20 minutes! So glad to have been a part of this genius work, Marc, and alongside all you other fantastic musicians! Each note was where it was supposed to be!

[@kaelgentile]

Magique ! J'ai écouté le medley du IX en boucle pendant un moment, maintenant le VIII vas me hanté pendant un moment ! Liberi Fatali est juste incroyable, et le solo de guitare sur le thème de Linoa m'a donné un sourire idiot, les larmes aux yeux et la chaire de poule à un point ! Merci à tout les artistes de cette vidéo, j'ai ressenti à travers cette vidéo toute les émotions que j'ai pu avoir en jouant à ce jeu dans mon enfance, merci pour ces 19:42 de voyage à travers le temps, et vivement la seconde partie !

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Ravi que ça t'ait plu ! :)

[@carlosl1172]

Why did it take me six years to find this video? OMG, it's amazing! I am installing FF8 again right now just for you. Thankssssss!

[@AussieMarshmallow]

FFVIII will always have a special place in my heart as the game that introduced me to the franchise. I've played several since, but in my opinion VIII has some of the best music in the series. Fantastic cover, wonderful job putting this together :) Gave me one heck of a nostalgia trip!

[@DailyCorvid]

7years later, hope all is well and that you had a great NY :) I always thought that 8 had the best town themes, that was the only area 7 didn't have a blockbuster with too! Unless you count the coastal theme but even that's not really a town theme. The last best one before fishermans horizon was probably Home Sweet Home from 5 all the way back in 1995!

[@AussieMarshmallow]

@@DailyCorvid Hello and thank you for the comment! I had forgotten about this video, so thanks also for calling me back to this lovely medley. Hope you also are well even in these crazy times. At least we have fantastic music to comfort us in isolation!

[@HatTrax]

You've really outdone yourself this time Marc! I'm so glad to have been a part of this epic collaboration spanning more than a year and so many talented artists! Here's to many more epic collaborations!

[@ladyreemz86]

Truly loved your parts, HatTrax!

[@HatTrax]

ladyreemz86 Thanks!! Your vocals were great!! :D My choir parts simply can't compare :P

[@DeformedConscience]

One of the best things to come out of the last decade, these medleys. Watched them countless times.

[@cidhigh84]

No matter how many times I watch it, I never get tired of watching this video. Thanks from my heart.

[@FroggyShen]

2022年 依然是最強FF組曲

[@Omnimon152]

J'ai des frissons et des larmes en écoutant ceci, et je dois dire que c'est du PUR bonheur. :D 0:00 (bouton replay). Je ne peux pas m'en passer.

[@blrdf]

I shed a tear during fisherman's horizon, for real. AMAZING job

[@ladyreemz86]

awwww.. so glad you liked it, and hope you found the lyrics to be fitting to it.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thank you so much ! I have just released the full-length version 🙂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeQmKKphaqSa68si=HgYsa2l0CYFIL36L

[@aldyapes6262]

no one get cover better than this, really epic.. like this so much !!!

[@Feralwolf444]

I have both this and the FF9 ones on my i-pod, and is my favorite thing to listen to when I am relaxing or looking to get my creative juices flowing.

[@karlthibault-levesque8692]

I am so glad and happy that i searched for "FFVIII epic music", this has been the best musical discovery that I've seen in a long time. Amazing work.

[@mklachu]

Again, hot damn... you've outdone yourself. And kudos to everyone who took part in this. You all did a fantastic job

[@vladrek]

This is soooo terrific. I can't stop jamming along to in my drumset. Bravo!

[@jimkurth]

I've been listening to this and Part 2 since they came out... honestly, several times each week since then. This music really helps me focus on my programming and brings back memories growing up even though I was already 18 and on my own when this game was released.

[@Soki7000]

FFVIII had the most impressive soundtrack in the series IMO. You did it justice here.

[@masterlionheart]

+Makoto Yuki I agree, while it's not on the top as my number one Final Fantasy game, it by far has my favorite soundtracks.

[@antoniodirocca6202]

From ff6 till ff9 soundtracks are awesome!

[@Nire]

you didn't like To Zanarkand?

[@masterlionheart]

To Zanarkand was a good song, but the overall soundtrack of FFX wasn't up to par compared to FF6-FF9, and that's probably because it's the first game that Uematsu wasn't the primary composer on. He did a few tracks like the Battle theme, To Zanarkand and some others, but otther than those he shared composing duties with two others. Honestly, in my opinion the soundtracks of FF games haven't been nearly as good since Uematsu left the series, but I have hope for FFXV because it's the KH composer who actually does really great music as well. I will also say that the composer for FFXIV:ARR does a really great job imitating Uematsu's style.

[@jus4000kicks]

I don't agree. I think FFX's soundtrack is just as good as FFVII - FFIX. Nobue Uematsu does not have to be the sole composer for the soundtrack to be good. Consider that he picked the composers on FFX. Also take a look at Chrono Triggers soundtrack by Yasunori Mitsuda.

[@VehaPoulp]

Une pièce magnifique! Merci à toi Marc et à tous tes invités pour votre travail! Un sacré voyage grâce à vos interprétations magnifiques. Hâte d'avoir la suite, mais prenez votre temps pour faire encore de plus belles pièces!!

[@izellets7361]

I've listened to this and other medleys of yours while working, for hours. Years after it came out. This arrangement is so precious to me. You shared your love and passion for the video game, the series, and music, to thousands of people. Some come once and have a great time. Others, like me, don't forget and stick around. I don't know much about who you are. Don't know much about your politics, your beliefs, and maybe I could be disappointed by you like I was by J.K.Rowling for instance. But just for making what you make, you are one of my favorite persons around! Thank you so much!

[@CharlesC2024]

I honestly waited EAGERLY for an entire year for your next medley. I'm a huge fan of Nobuo and a huge fan of you. Once again, you've done an absolutely amazing job. Please keep going man!

[@f7rouge]

Back again to say this is the best FFVIII medley I've heard and I'm so glad Part II is here now as well

[@Nuwa_San]

Final Fantasy VIII is my first and my favorite FF series. It is also my first RPG games that I played. I guess thats whats made it left so much impression to me. As a 13 yo kid when I first played this, I never thought a game could left so many emotion to me when I first played this. Truly a great game. Even though a lot of people don't agree how great FFVIII is, (since its more of a futuristic setting rather than a fantasy like FFIX) it still holds a high place in my heart. And listening to this brings all the nostalgia back. Thank you for this awesome medley...

[@xdylanxmadexofxclayx]

Marc, you have yet to disappoint on absolutely blowing me away with these. You and your collaborators are nothing s hort of amazing. Thank you!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thank you very much Dylan ! Very glad you're enjoying them 🙂

[@HAS8787]

This is amazingly beautiful.. I almost cried so much memories with all those soundtracks, seeing them combined into this beautiful video and being played this well was just WOW

[@drunyon214]

This is amazing! Both parts are fantastic. A great tribute to an amazing and underrated soundtrack! Thank you and everyone else for doing such a phenomenal job.

[@unboeuf2127]

Bravo à tous, c'est un superbe medley que vous avez fait là ! Chapeau bas !

[@FFgamesftw]

although FFVI and FFIX have my favorite soundtracks in the series I have to say this is my favorite of your medleys just due to the increased production value and more instruments added with each one you make. Can't wait for Part 2

[@ECO_Damesis267]

this sure brings back memories, i played this back in 2000 when i was 10, even though i didnt know what i was doing, this is the game that introduced me to final fantasy and RPG`s ,thanks for making this awesome tribute to a very underrated ff game, in my opinion the best :D

[@mpapeghin]

Also one of my favorites for sure ;)

[@JarvisjJarfish]

That feeling at 12:02 when the elec piano comes in with the guitar, so many chills. Amazing work!

[@noctis678]

Outstanding. This, along with your FFIX medley are easily the best FF music videos online. :)

[@dennisb4599]

This is amazing. I'm so glad someone reworked all of this great music. You're a talented musician, glad you chose to use your abilities for such a good cause!

[@MrFlared90]

Grandissimi KZbinr di tutto il mondo che collaborano per suonare dell' eccellente musica riarrangiata è qualcosa di veramente fantastico! Grazie a tutti per lo splendido lavoro.

[@mpapeghin]

Molte grazie !

[@totomaton]

Absolutely amazing, your FF8 medley is part of my playlist on Google PlayMusic for 2 years now, I go to your youtube page to leave a comment and find out that there is a FF9 and FF 10 medley !! Omg best Christmas present !!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Yes I've made medleys for FF5, 6, 8, 9 and 10 ! Plus a few pieces from FF7 and 13-2 :) Enjoy !!

[@Tyroine]

Du grand art en barre de fanservice, comme d'habitude. Énorme travail !

[@josediaz555]

This is absolutely amazing. I can't thank you enough for making this. Totally speechless.

[@Neis999]

I swear, I have my hand on my mouth to keep myself from jumping and screaming in excitement! And that goes for both parts!

[@zieggy84]

Fishermans horizon....that song never fail to bring tears to my eyes.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks a lot ! Today we have actually released a full 7-min version of it :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmeQmKKphaqSa68si=HgYsa2l0CYFIL36L

[@MLeicht6]

the beat on "Ride On" was hard enough to tell me to relax. the music is so strong here

[@sylehu7056]

Oh man, you deserve so much more views!!! I randomly found your channel is this is fantastic!!! Great covers guys

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thank you very much !!

[@zombieranma2263]

This medley is THE best FF VIII medley I have heard to date! Amazing everyone involved!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

+Zombie Ranma Many thanks !!

[@DungNgo-jr6wy]

I'd clicked "Like" before I listened, because I knew that I would have to click it anyway.

[@asstab]

Je n'ai pas connu le jeu hélas... Mais heureusement grâce à vous je découvre ces petits chefs d'oeuvre. Magnifiquement executé, tout le monde envoie du lourd, les voix sont sublimes, les sons maitrisés. Le tout est très cohérent et s'enchaine si bien que je devine à peine les transitions. Un vrai régal du début à la fin ! Bravo j'achète !

[@Marc_Papeghin]

+asstab Merci beaucoup ! Et si un jour vous avez l'occasion de jouer au jeu n'hésitez pas ! A l'image de l'OST, c'est une petite merveille ;)

[@michelleheafy]

Had to put a jacket on because of all the chillssss!!! You did amazing at mixing/playing/arranging/editing, and all of the guests were outstanding. I can appreciate how much work went into this, can't imagine editing all of this! I was so excited to see this in my feed. Can't wait for part 2 ;)

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Can't wait for everyone to hear it too ;)

[@0Fyrebrand0]

Nearly 20 minutes of Pure Awesome... and it's just "PART 1" !? Amazing. Very much looking forward to the next one...

[@antoniodirocca6202]

Best ff8 tribute ever!! [PART1]

[@Noobahara]

Just to sum up here for anyone watching this or those who haven't. This is the definition of EPIC. You go to a dictionary and search the word EPIC and this video and its later sister video, (part 2) are displayed. Loved it and helps get me through the working day!

[@clairo2]

J'adore, j'adhère, vous êtes vraiment très bons, tout est beau à l'oreille dans ce medley : ) rien à dire juste écouter c'est vraiment du super boulot. Hâte d'écouter la Partie 2

[@EternityEnd]

Holy shit... I just found out about this and I gotta say you made me very happy. So much nostalgic feelings hearing these tracks. I could still name some of the tracks I like. I had lots of memories on the PS1 with Final Fantasy VIII! Thankyou!!!

[@mpapeghin]

Glad you liked it ;) FF OSTs are such big nostalgia trips :)

[@Risaoko]

This Med is really amazing! Respect to you for ability to play and put those sounds and choir together. Rly like it!

[@SupErMasSiVepancake]

I can't get over how good this is seriously. I can feel the amount of work that went into it and it totally paid off!! Had goosebumps all the way through. You and all these other fantastic musicians did an amazing job and I can't help but think you guys should just form an insane band! Can't wait for the second part man. FANTASTIC!!!!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks ! :)

[@popnjon]

extremely well done. this deserves more attention.

[@brm9783]

I watch this video just about every day. I don't know how many of these epic medleys you plan on making, but let's hope that it is one every year for the rest of your life. I honor you all as musicians and appreciate all the time you must have dumped into this video. What are the chances of a Kingdom Hearts medley? I may soil myself if that were to happen. A Legend of Dragoon medley would probably cause me to soil myself as well. I tip my hat to all of you who made this happen. P.S. Marc (or whoever composed this) your transitions are seamless, impressively so.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks man ! I love doing these medleys so no doubt there'll be plenty more to come ;)

[@alexsteer7551]

Your best work, hands down!

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thank you !!

[@Svenzki]

could you make that fisherman's horizon an actual song just like that one? i really loved the way you guys arranged it. its very emotional to the point that it makes me cry :'(

[@Marc_Papeghin]

I'm definitely thinking about it !

[@Svenzki]

thank you very much!

[@hackman22]

loved it, cried also.

[@KenzouTYork]

Please do it! And a full version of love grows!

[@harperharper6343]

Please do it

[@joaquinguerrero4987]

The only thing i can say about this... well i can't put it in any word. I can truly feel the magic in this piece i most congratulate you guys for the arrangements. Please keep it going you're an amazing player.

[@Mowmauf]

I love the transition of the game screen combined with the footage of you and the other collaborators playing that transitions with it

[@floriangailliegue6760]

Magnifique ! Superbe interprétation de "The Mission" notamment. Je suis impatient d'écouter la partie II :)

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Merci à toi ! La suite samedi ;)

[@dillonpangburn4556]

FF8 has the greatest game soundtrack of all time, unbelievable job covering all of these songs!

[@nawlieth]

Monsieur Papeghin et tout le crew qui avez élaboré ce medley, vous êtes mes héros de ces mois d'Avril et Mai. Vous avez fourni un travail de dingue et de qualité impressionnant. Toutes mes félicitations. *révérence*

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Merci ! ;)

[@straydogfreedom7795]

Thank you for giving this fantastic game some much deserved attention. Excellent stuff, I'm very impressed by your work

[@captainkid4298]

Came back to listen to these epic medley. Still can't believe how awesome this is.

[@brendonchrisney9812]

Best music in the series, and the BEST cover of it! This is pure art. You have created a masterpiece and I can't stop listening.

[@Marc_Papeghin]

Thanks a lot ! So glad you're enjoying it :)

[@doreenstern355]

Another example of Marc's enthusiasm for excellent music! Well done :)

[@marquitospower]

Magnifique!!!!! Quel travail splendide sur ses musiques de Nobuo. Vous amenez vraiment une touche de fraîcheur sur ses chansons exceptionnelles. Superbe travail! On en veux d'autres :)

[@LychkovIA]

Marc, I can't even imagine how much work went into making this video. (and it's only part 1!) Fantastic, just fantastic. It was good seeing Songe here, too!

[@gargant9057]

Beautiful! Goosebumps everytime! I miss good music like this.. EDM id not my cup of tea.

[@Sotek_Will]

J'écoute cette bombe régulièrement depuis 2015. Beau boulot! Ce medley me donne du courage au travail.

[@hackman22]

Thanks for this piece of art for our ears and heart.

[@PufferFishX]

YES! Jesus, Marc, it's been over a year since you posted one of these! And we're all just... SO thankful!

[@MsDooDooDoo]

This must have been so much work! Thank you for doing this, it is so wonderful! I really can feel the spirit of the game in this.

[@arxdesigns]

Wow. Just....WOW, THANK YOU! This is excellent.
