FF9、私の原点… 今ゲーム会社勤務で仕事出来なくて落ち込んで帰ってきたけど やっぱりゲーム好きだからまた明日からも頑張ります。 元気をくれてありがとう

It was a sin that this song was never used again XD

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

Agreed lol. This is one of the best songs ever in this series to me.

[@MunnDNitro-dt1kx]

You should play ffxiv

[@Kamijoan]

@@MunnDNitro-dt1kxJust got there, well, that's twice the song was ever used XD

Nobuo uematsu for you. He'd create 1 song for 1 specific scene. God I miss FF 1 through 10.

[@kimetsu_kids]

これ一回しか流れないのもったいなすぎる、すげえ緊迫感溢れる曲で好きだなー

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

I agree. To me this is probably the best song in the whole game, but is only played once. =(

[@MSephi]

0:55 : Chills. When you think "Wait, it only the beginning of the game, it's only a play, does it have to go this hard ?" Nobuo : "Yes."

[@rednova2212]

Nobuo: "There is no choice. In fact, I think we should have gone harder."

[@knightshousegames]

The people who think "We don't have to go this hard" are the ones no one will ever remember. Thats why Nobuo is all time great while most AAA games today are forgotten in 2 weeks because they have "sufficient" music or are just endless remakes of superior composers done half as well (like when whoever remade the FFX soundtrack butchered Nobuo's work like the amateur they were)

[@olavi_liikanen]

Yes! ❤

The way I sobbed when I heard this in FFXIV Dawntrail... FF9 will forever be the best in my heart

[@Argronok0]

What's the name of the track in FF 14?

[@佐藤信之-o7i]

この曲をボスで使えば良かったのにという意見をよく見るんですが、あの劇中の曲だからこそ良さが引き立ったんだと思います。 サビがボス向けではない。

[@williamsanborn9195]

The best song that only plays once.

[@TheMixedPlateFrequency]

This song is so awesome. Hoping that rumored remake uses more of this battle theme in the game.

[@rayoflight1920]

@@TheMixedPlateFrequency let them make the rumored ff9 show first

[@knightshousegames]

The fact that it was used once is why it is so memorable. To me it's just part of "I Want to be Your Canary"

[@rayoflight1920]

Listening to dissidia nt version of this made me come here, I feel ashamed I didn't immediately realise it and I'm currently playing ff9

[@Maxim.Nazarenko]

Best performance on Gaia.

Great to hear this again in Dawntrail

本編内で一度しか流れない名曲

[@LivingHitokiri2]

One of my favorite hidden gems from the game. Another absolute masterpiece by Uematsu.

[@ricebrown1]

Nobuo Uematsu does for Final Fantasy what John Williams does for Star Wars.

[@user-hiyoko-ojisan]

まほうコマンドで使える魔法もこの劇中戦闘でしか使われない特殊演出のひとつですね

[@rayoflight1920]

This is ff9 equivalent of perfect jenova

[@大動]

この場面、FF9の中で印象強かったな。みんなかっこいいんだ。最高だよ

[@dikehunk5577]

カリオストロの城のサンバテンペラードと同レベルあるいはそれ以上の震えを感じた曲でした

[@Freyafanboy90]

This should've been the boss theme. Shame it's only used once. FF9 did a lot of things right but a lot of things wrong. Only using thois amazing song once and sending Freya to the backseat is two of them.

[@knightshousegames]

Endlessly annoying that the fade out for the battle in the video doesn't line up with the music....

[@TheCreepypro]

such a great battle theme!

[@Runeless]

I remember dragging this battle out just to hear the theme play longer 😂 I also remember recognizing this was like a prototype battle song…first time you hear it you THINK it’s the battle theme, but it’s not!

[@PerfectScrewUps]

This song is amazing!!!!!

[@ビフィズス菌えらい]

こんだけクオリティ高い演劇できて楽団も優秀でってよく考えたらすげえ

Here we go with the 'I Want to Be Your Canary' play, which I have quite a few things to say about. I was honestly expecting the whole play to be huge forshadowing for the events of the story. VIII did something similar with the vocal Latin choir in its opening FMV sequence in which it's lyrics foreshadowed the events of the game. I mean, the play in IX is literally done in the "book ends" trope with the beginning and end of the game. (What it means is having matching scenes at the beginning and end of a story) But nope, in truth the only real reflection to the plot is the play's love story, with the play's main characters: the thief Marcus and Princess Cornelia, clearly representing Zidane and Garnet. But even that isn't really done well since Zidane and Garnet's romance is so poorly done and frustrating compared to how the play depicts it, but I'll be addressing them soon. This is all really disappointing and it also just overhypes the love story of Zidane and Garnet that gets ruined when the ending of the Lindblum segment on Disk 1 rolls around. It's just a retread of the opera scene from FFVI. But the difference was that: In VI it was just at a random point in the game, and just a fun sidetrack while trying to recruit the Setzer character and to show off the capabilities of the SNES. While here in IX, it's at the beginning and end of the game, and it and its author- "Lord Avon" are repeatedly mentioned throughout the game as if they are really significant to the story and lore. The developers could have actually done something more unique and different with all this. Like, how about Lord Avon, 'I want to be you Canary's" author, actually based the play off of a dream or "vision" that he had which was actually a clairvoyant view into the future, due to some mystical or celestial event (details can be ironed out more), which was actually the story events of IX, and thus the play was all really huge foreshadowing, nearly prophetic, with the main characters of the play representing Zidane and Garnet, and other play cast members can be a reflection of other IX main characters like Vivi, Eiko, Steiner, Beatrix, Kuja, Garland, etc. There was actually a fic I saw before that was trying to imagine a IX Remake that seemed to actually imply this direction of the story going, with the play actually telling the story of IX. That fic doesn't seem to be around anymore, sadly. Found the fic afterwards, it's not on fanfiction anymore, but it's still on DA, it's by Iamkingdomhearts1000. I don't like everything about the fic though, I particularly don't like how it characterizes Garnet (making her even more bitchy) and further flanderizes some of the characters.

Nah, the writing is human enough, just a horrible way to express a bad opinion XD
