Terra's Theme (Orchestral with lyrics)

Awesome version of Terra's theme with lyrics.

[@rleastor6760]

This song is literally the sound of hope, when all is lost.

[@megafrente001]

I think searching for friends Fits more that description.

[@TheSparkThatDefinesUs]

The cinder, growing brighter like the heart beat (drum)

[@LeKain08]

I miss Squaresoft... Square Enix being, honestly, a failure in continuing the extraordinary quality of what used to be "Final Fantasy", not only the mediocre attempt of Squeenix at doing new "Final Fantasy" games but also the reminder like this wonderful piece of musical art that is Terra's Theme left me with a bitter taste of knowing that not even the clown who bought the rights for Final Fantasy licence can't produce a quality of the same tier as FF6 to 10...

[@3Storms]

I feel what you're saying. Ever since they fired the "old school" in the middle of FFX's development, the company just hasn't been the same. Modern FF feels like they're just not even trying to do anything besides nice graphics, and there's no heart and soul to really connect the gamer and create decades-long memories.

[@v.n.ofishmaster6168]

Ten had an actually good story? way I remember it people were dogging on it when it first came out and then changed their minds after the disaster of 10 2 In my opinion Square Enix can get their shit right if they play the right cards 15 and 16 both have really compelling stories and can push out great content if their not being hounded by another company like Disney did to square enix with Kh3 Like on god the recent games are worth playing I’ve played all through original FF7 and half way through both final fantasy 4 and 5, the story in the recent titles such as 15 and 16 are really compelling I’d place 15 with the classics because 11-14 were pretty much non-existent and barely talked about like gods 15 had me sitting at the new game plus menu screen crying because it was that good

[@ericwessner228]

Beyond epic... still rocking this 2024. Used to sit in the world of balance and just listen to this wo lyrics endlessly

[@stranger3131]

Me too😂

[@jinli4343]

classic - 30 years of memories

[@StarGazerBleu]

I tend to like the 8 and 16bit FF era songs a lil more, tho there are some after that are good too

[@Jayson_Jennings]

Same

[@augustpaule1275]

When I was younger, I heard this version and fell in love with it. I'm glad I was able to find it again.

[@ryfawx]

遥か遠く　夜を越えて Haruka tooku yoru o koete Crossing the distant night, 砂漠の海を　彷徨う Sabaku no umi o samayou Wandering the desert sea. 神の声は　蜃気楼 Kami no koe wa shinkirou The gods' voices are mirages; 忘れられた人々 Wasurerareta hitobito The forgotten people. 影は白く　揺らめきたつ Kage wa shirōku yurameki tatsu Shadows flicker palely, then stand; 今ひとたびの　幻 Ima hitotabi no maboroshi For one moment, an illusion. 蒼く燃える　勇者の夢 Aoku moeru yuusha no yume A hero's dream, burning blue, 永遠に眠る人々 Towa ni nemuru hitobito The people, sleeping forever.

Thank you

Thank you for this

[@jjctroy4605]

Just hummed this to my son to get him to sleep after ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle kept failing; he usually loves the latter. First attempt with this and it knocked him out. Thanks, Nobuo. This dad'll get some decent rest tonight.

[@aaronp8293]

This song [core song without the these lyrics] also became my lullaby for my kids as well. They are older now, but still request it! i play the real song for them from time to time. For whatever reason this is my heart song. First heard it when I bought the game when I was twelve (27 years ago)--it has been part of my life ever since.

[@Peter_1986]

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written in music history.

[@kunlam86]

It's almost 2022 and I am still listening to this song. Too classic.

[@nosrin1988]

Ah yes. here's the one! This is one of the best versions! I havent listened to this in a long, long time...

[@KawaiiGameplays]

it brings me tears... ffVI is my favorite game and is very very special to me, because i have so many good moments playing it, i laughed and cried in many chappters of this beautifull story, and it will be in my heart until i die

[@caiusballad8544]

It was the first game I ever played, and I have been playing it ever since, never beating it. I restart when I get everything in the World of Ruin because I am afraid that if I beat it, the one thing that keeps my sane in this world will be gone. I have been playing for 12 years now. I started when I was 4.

[@KawaiiGameplays]

wow '-' u know, i regret to have beaten the game sometimes, because the story ends and i want more from that universe... but no one never made something more about FF3

[@KawaiiGameplays]

Caius Ballad wow '-' u know, i regret to have beaten the game sometimes, because the story ends and i want more from that universe... but no one never made something more about FF3

[@nesnahprotsdam]

Caius Ballad I did the same for 3 years with Lgend of Zelda: OOT, but in the end I finished it and it left a big empty room where it had been.

[@Kratosmustdie]

NyanChanDaisuki Exactly same thing happened to me when I got near the end of Lost Odyssey :(. After spending so much time playing the game and knowing all teh bakc stories and such, i just didnt want to get into teh final boss cause i knew after that it woudl be it and taht would be it since I had nearly 100%'d it :/

[@matthewwilliams5407]

Very few songs can project wonder and fantasy and rarely can they bring a tear to my eyes. This is a spectacular masterpiece that can grip both effortlessly and sticks with you for hours, perhaps days, on end.

[@Lisdop]

+Matthew Williams Or a lifetime.

[@rleastor6760]

im 41 now, I was 14 then, I still hear it.

[@Jermofoot]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my lifetime.

[@mkt568]

Close your eyes and listen to the song. What do you see? I see Terra, Locke and the rest of the group walking through the World of Ruin, taking in all the sights of people struggling in this world, animals slowly dying, red skies, polluted waters, barren landscape, and all concluding with the Tower of Kefka.

[@matthewkirkeby8245]

only issue with this comment is that this music played in the light world only

[@matthewkirkeby8245]

but that's not hating. respect the vision

[@FFXI_Addict]

This song randomly inspired me to write an entire 160-page novel the first time I heard it; going for a walk in the freezing night air. When I begin to conceptualize a story, I become another person. One that, apparently, was so dead-set determined not to let anything ruin the initial train of thought, I snarled and barked like a feral animal at three dudes all in black on the sidewalk--my path otherwise obfuscated and blocked off. But I had to keep moving--no stopping at all, or the train will derail. So I snarled at them, as a lunatic would, to scare them away to hold onto what became my most-popular book to date. All thanks to this song.

[@cancergrapefruit8873]

Over ten years and I keep returning to this. Thanks for keeping it up.

[@MsXxlightningxx]

I always heard that Terra's theme was good ,I didn't play FFVI, but they were wrong! This is a masterpiece! I was soo moved by it

[@Soneliane]

Never too late to try the game, it's good as this theme :)

[@luripu]

Dahila James Yes.Never ever i heard a Song with this power that make me cry like this one

[@carmendiana6816]

This song is everything ❤

[@jamesmendonca2900]

Phenomenal work. This track is not bombastic, but rather captivating. I love the use of the flute and the singing in this.

[@SuperDuperCooper08]

This gives me chills......

[@Kreedogger]

i've wept tears over this remake. incredible

[@inkmage4084]

Love this song, lyrics are beautiful Risa's voice amazing.. This was also my most favorite Final Fantasy out of all so far.

[@enzovik]

The most beautiful song of the videogames history.

[@spaceonisorceress4406]

This is incredible. I'm seriously almost crying. Right in the feels.

[@angelstar107]

I always seem to find my way back to this song and this game. This game is a reflection of what strength really is. It isn't just being a badass character on a quest for vengeance or survival. Being strong is about having weakness of the heart and mind that you work to overcome. The real strength of the characters if this RPG masterpiece is that they still feel human. You can believe in their struggles. You can still empathize with them, and they feel all the stronger when you see how far they've come since their journeys began. The modern era of games can keep their "Strong Female Protagonists". Terra and Celes are the only two I need to know.

[@zephyr3498]

For me this is the best version of terra of all youtube

[@RedTachi]

Thank the gods, I thought I lost this one. I wanted to hear it today and had to scroll until I noticed the thumbnail.

[@GiannioG]

Crossing the distant night, Wandering the desert sea. The gods' voices are mirages; The forgotten people. Shadows flicker palely, then stand; For one moment, an illusion. A hero's dream, burning blue, The people, sleeping forever.

[@tyrhunger2763]

Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda best composers from games ever.

[@spencerwood2381]

Completely agree! I'm not sure if Mitsuda gets enough credit either. Some days I prefer one other the other but both have turned good games into works of art.

[@Sunny12610]

Tyrhunger Sword Check Bravely Default OST by Revo. He's good. And dont forget Shoji Meguro with his Persona's OST

[@stormmagus010]

I got this on the original CD when it came out. And here.... almost 15 years later.... it still makes me tear up.

[@symphony137]

You were able to get the Japanese album "Final Fantasy Vocal Collections I" when it came out it 1994? That's impressive!

[@possibly12]

Absolutely beautiful. Moving.

[@leonamoonslasher7070]

I heard so many versions but this one is unbeatable

[@EinSofVirtuoso]

Reminds me so much of Ennio Morricone

[@伶人-d5n]

あら懐かしい。CD今も持ってます。

[@Sinistrad627]

Made me shed tears..so beautiful.

[@richardschmidt2556]

one of best songs ever created by human manking, top 100 alltime !

[@azndoughboi]

Happy 20 years, FF6!

[@mrportfolio9119]

azndoughboi happy 26 years now

[@fa627]

30 now 😅

[@kisaknight626]

It's been about 12 years since I've listened to this and the Opera House theme and it still makes me cry, wtf? 😢

[@A.M-tt5jg]

Influencing me from my childhood to this very day.. The perfect story.

[@i4c4eva]

this song is called Wanderer of Time from the album Final Fantasy Pray :D nice version :D

[@shihoblade]

Wow that was glorious. Squall's theme used to be my favorite character theme, then I came here..... Go Terra.

[@loveever89]

Finally found this version again. Last heard it on my cd back in 2002.

[@stinkinmushroom]

Just started playing FFVI for the first time on iphone(controls are abysmal on phone). better late then never. This song brings chills all over my body. Just played the intro and I know I'm gonna experience something amazing

[@deviljon]

I haven't heard this version in years, not since before my old old compy died the hard way. Thanks for posting!

[@v.crowley]

Its like 10 pm.. and these lyrics was stuck in my head... i had to sing it over and over to remember its from ffvi .. then i had to look up the title..... insomnia's kicking my ass

[@markherron1407]

Anne Boleyn brought me here Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕

[@valcristgallant]

I found it! Been about 10 years or so since I've heard this...brings back so many memories...

[@Appleface9]

It's totally worth your time. Terra is easily one of my favorite FF heroines.

[@TokyoWraith]

This version owns all others. The original was amazing, this just blows it away.

[@roninheart19]

@DamascusTest I agree completely. It was arranged by Risa Ohki (who is also the singer), Toshiro Mitsutomi, Masatsugu Shinozaki, and Yoshiro Nakamura. This song is actually called Toki no Hōrōsha (Wanderer of Time in English), and it's from the album Final Fantasy: Pray. The orchestra used in the performance isn't named on the cd. This is one of my favorite Final Fantasy albums.

[@makhyusnimakhyusni401]

Terra is amazing

[@jaydesummers]

For everybody asking what the name of this version of Terra/Tina's theme is, it's called Toki no Horousha.

[@adadays3139]

Wonderful voice of Risa Ohki... I very love it, especially in The Promised Land

[@TheProjectHigh]

Leave it alone. Its perfect. The music, the struggle, the story....god the story. Please leave it alone everyone.

[@goldenhide]

Hauntingly Beautiful.

[@WaveTheConqueror]

by far my most favorite version.

[@bobbyjones3430]

Thanks so much for the upload

[@TheGodlikeDragon]

That´s damn true. We do not only like Terra because she was the first female main character in Final Fantasy, but also because we loved her emotional struggle of who she is and why she exist

[@TheTBrawn]

FINALLY!!!! A great remake of this character's song that does it justice! I've never heard one that sounded right until now.

[@bionicdragon5]

Beautiful!

[@justinholliday7781]

This is so very beautiful. It really captures the beauty but also sorrow of the lovely fictional (and in my eyes)Goddess Terra wonderfully. I would love to be her lover if she were real.

[@Friscoboy104]

wow very cool version..this is my favorite FF song of all time this makes it so much more!

[@Slayervein]

AND THATS WHAT I CALL OVERLY EPIC AWESOME MUSIC!!!

[@ecronaclon47]

I swear, I've been looking for this cover for years! I can't believe I finally found it!

[@Gretian]

Esta versión de Terra theme me ha inspirado a crear mi propio Remix de esta OST, lo haré pronto en mi canal 🔥

[@zhero5641]

i love this song it takes me back to when i was playing the game on the snes it was the best

[@williamkoscielniak820]

This is sublime beauty incarnate as music

[@periferink]

And thank you for this lovely spoiler!

[@RQS321]

I love you for commenting that :) Zidane and Terra are indeed the best Duodecim characters :) As well as amazing games. Will alwasy love Zidane and Terra :) Its a shame they don't meet up until duodecim :) But i like garnet too a little :) Liked your comment :)

[@Valenor84]

This particular arrangement of the song is called 'Wanderer of Time' and was featured on the 'Final Fantasy: Pray' vocal collection.

[@laurkemen]

sublime, parfait

[@WarlockNyaru]

This is fom the album Final Fantasy Vocal Collections I : Pray. There's also a second one : Final Fantasy Vocal Collections II : Love Will Grow. Not to be confused with Final Fantasy Vocal Collection, which doesn't contain any exclusive tracks, just various vocal themes from the games.

[@mseirco]

Beautiful.

[@BoELoot]

I wholeheartedly agree and have been saying so for years. FF7 was amazing but I always thought FF6 was the best of all of them and there's so many people who never started playing the series until FF7. It makes me sad.

[@Kupokkisynteetteri]

This is beatiful ! :)) Lovely sounding !

[@Deepseagaming137]

Over the snow covered mountains.....3 soldiers in Magitek Armor make the slow march to Narshe.....where they plan to lay it low for the empire.

[@Goshoryuken]

Nostalgia Deffo one of the best FF up there x

[@KarlBonner1982]

@7RadicalDreamers What I love most about Terra is seeing her becoming ever stronger and ever more emotionally confident as the game progresses. And what happens to her in post-apocalyptic Mobliz is golden - first she loses her fighting spirit to tend care of the children, but then regains it later on!

[@wheelsmcfury4086]

I some how found this song as an adolescent and I've been looking for it ever since!

[@RikuAkimoto]

Excelente cancion es tan emotiva y tan profunda de verdad que es maravillosa

[@Kent_D_Nur]

Un reflejo perfecto de Terra como personaje y su trayecto de autodescubrimiento

[@thedavidalopez]

this is beautiful😭

[@Postmoralist]

This song found me at my weakest point.

[@carlothewaifuer3173]

Terra, like Tifa, is an unattainable woman who would be even happier becoming a mother (meaning carrying a baby in her womb, giving birth and watching her baby grow).

[@FrédéricOtis]

Terra is the Symbol of the Courage. She is the ultime hope for the Returner. She 's the key to understand the Key of the Magic Power. She's half-human and half-esper, but she choose to trust Locke like Edgard trust Locke. Locke give to her freedom. Freedom to chose her destiny and she choosed the way to care childs like a true mother. Human are not her exactly her specie, but she decided to love them.

[@carlothewaifuer3173]

That is why a woman like her deserves to be the biological mother of a baby born from her.​@@FrédéricOtis

[@captainhawkins7928]

Good Music for a last Journey!

[@korgotth]

amazing

[@nateb9322]

I definitely don't mind this being stuck in my head..

[@DoctorVic]

Son of a submariner... Now I can't stop hearing it!

[@caiusballad8544]

I played this when I was 5 and managed to get to the sealed gate and unleash the espers on Vector. After that, I left the game because it was too hard. Picked it up 10 years later, and was amazed at how all the music and the story blended together. Best game I ever played.

[@skcakajmr]

Holy crappola!, this brings back memories. 8 bit to this amazing track... I need to buy some tickets for the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds when they come in Toronto on Nov 27th. Nobuo Uematsu is a genius.

[@musicalmuse3614]

Epic, this speaks so loudly to my heart.

[@goldenhide]

Its from an album called "Final Fantasy: Pray" the song is nicknamed "Wanderer of Time" on that album. Sung by Risa Ohki

[@DLane814]

it's from an album called FINAL FANTASY: PRAY a compilation of vocal tracks in Japanese, English, Portuguese and French

[@elchi2711]

The intro is really fascinating

[@cjc2010]

Ah, this is the song I remember downloading from Napster so so long ago.

[@kenichiAHAN]

love this song!!

[@TrancePacifica]

I love Yoshitaka Amano's art (that pic of Terra was done by him) He's done so much art for the FF series and also did some art with Vampire Hunter D.

[@KarlBonner1982]

I think the only reason this isn't my absolute favorite version is that the original has heavy nostalgia value. Even after taking nostalgia into account, the two are neck-to-neck IMHO.

[@jeremyrrr12]

C'est beau!!

[@rickidy123]

So epic !

[@eacowind8936]

all i every do is cry when i hear terras theme its so amazing

[@joeybare]

@7RadicalDreamers Awesome analysis!

[@TheSolarDrake]

Beautiful Song, and the game was Epic too, I hope one day they remake it on PS3
