All these years later and still the most iconic composition for me as a lifelong gamer. Played my first Final Fantasy at age 10 in 1994. Nobuo Uematsu truly is a legendary icon that should be honored and remembered forever. I believe the lifestream will carry this music through the ages in the hearts of Final Fantasy gamers for many generations as it already does today. 🙏🏻
And so the journey began... A line of successful and memorable games soon were released. Yet Square only knew half of what was ahead. Their first game soon became a success, and was released to the U.S. Then they made more games, each one better than the last. However, all journeys must come to an end. This journey, however, will last for an eternity.
the funny thing is that they called it Final Fantasy, because back then it was the company's last shot at making a successful videogame, thank god they succeeded.
Thinking FF was Square's first game, lol. Wonder why it is called Final Fantasy? Because Square was getting backrupt and had one last change to do it right, a Final Fantasy. And yeah, they went bankrupt because they made all those shit games in the past.
I've now been playing FF games for 26 years, long before some of you were even born. This song brings an indescribable feeling to me. I've beaten so many of them, and went on so many journeys. It all started with four warriors, each holding an orb...
Practically ended with that for me. Only FF games I've played are 1, 2/4, some of 3/6, Tactics, 7, and 8. And my faves are always 1 and 2/4. Thank you Nintendo Power for realizing there's be many crying 10 year olds who didn't know WTF to do in chunks of the game, and the internet and GameFAQS didn't exist yet.
+Jon Ericson lol man you took the words out my mouth...1, and what used to be two and three in the us, then 7 and a bit of 8. but yea I had Nintendo power starting with issue 1...good times back then
Every new years day I play this song. It has been a long tradition of mine. I can only hope this videos stays so I can continue to start the new year like a new adventure for many years
I've heard this song thousands of times, as I've played final fantasy my entire life, but no matter how many times i hear it it lifts me in a way that cant truly be put to words. Nobuo, you are truly a master.
When I hear this music, I feel like just returning from a great war and gaining honor. I also do not realize that tears began to drop. Such a fantastic theme. Anyway, this version is the one in Final Fantasy VIII.
I love this theme. I find it impressive how a song from the NES era still remains beloved and well known after all this time, especially when it remains relatively unchanged.
3 things, the most iconic gaming series, with one of the iconic songs, conducted by and icon of music, even hollywood or disney cant create a masterpiece on one stage like this
Nobuo's music probably one of the most beautiful thing ever happened to my life, and this is for sure will be my wedding song ......... till i found my Rinoa of course
@@jesusdavid885 Of course. Who's a better waifu than Tifa? Kicks ass, tough as nails, emotionally supportive, cooks like a champ...did I also mention she's smokin' hot?
+Azure Knight I agree. My Art in Society class ended with contemporary composers including Hans Zimmer and John Williams, but this guy deserves recognition as a master of the craft.
+Nicholas Heebsh I shared his music in my college level music lit class. Professor was shocked he never heard of this guy. Lol turned someone on to a new composer always makes me happy
ork476 Yeah I had done that as well, then the teacher started buying the soundtracks, and asking about Final Fantasy.. Then I end up playing XI with him, now XIV lol.
Doesn't it though? From the moment I stepped across that new bridge from Corneria and heard this theme play, Final Fantasy was from then onward a permanent fixture in my mental landscape.
Hearing this slipped in at the end credits of Final Fantasy IX really captured me as a kid. I thought for sure they were skipping it, but then BAM! they end with it.
I love this song so much. Final Fantasy has been a huge part of my life.. and a very large part of that is the music. This song especially drives home how much I love the series. It actually makes me emotional to listen to this.. Thank you Uematsu, for all the memories.
1:30 It's funny to me how Nobuo can simply walk on stage in casual clothes and start conducting, because that's always how I kind of envisioned it. No fancy suits or tuxedos. Just a man making and conducting music. Go look on youtube, find the recording of the Black Mages playing One Winged Angel. There's a moment near the climax of the opening build up where the camera focuses on him and it looks like he's having the time of his life. We need more musicians and composers like this man in our time.
+DeltaChaos Imagine being live in the audience when that happens, only he has a guitar in his hand instead. The More Friends concert is still one of the most memorable events of my life. (He still looked like a science teacher, hah.)
Final Fantasy. . . . a game that brings tears of loss and anger. . . tears of triumph and happiness. . . a game that brings you into the magical world. . . .as you hope this surreal journey never ends. . . .
to be completely honest I've only played international versions of the games and they do not have them as for NTSC and PAL regions I'm not sure. you maybe correct
Nobuo is so freaking boss, he doesn't need a tux to look professional when conducting a concert, he can just wear casual and still blow everyone's mind!
Just here to remind everyone that Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn is indisputably the biggest Final Fantasy game in the franchise. I could not be happier to be a part of it. Not only did it go from being a near disaster to the top dog of the franchise, it also survived long enough to become the largest MMO, and also a second home to many players across the world.

FFに救われたというコメントを度々見るけど、学生当時面白すぎて面白すぎて
夜通しやり続けた結果、毎日授業が眠すぎて辛かった思い出しかねぇ。
齋藤
同じく、あわや大学留年するところだったわ
ちゃんと卒業したけど
僕も当時20代。
狂ったようにやりました。
このメインテーマとともに、勇者になりました。
作曲家自ら指揮するという豪華さ
植松さんとすぎやまさんは、歴史に残る人物 ベートーベン バッハなど有名作曲家と肩を並べるレベル
ff は、私の最初のやった青春時代の一部・・・そしてゲームをするきっかけになった作品。
そして、幾度も私のことを救ってくれた作品です。
天才です。長生きして下さい。
こんなにも心震わせる美しい旋律は無い。この曲を聞くことが出来る時代に生まれて、本当に良かった。
東京オリンピック開会式より｡
カザフスタン🇰🇿選手団の旗手のリパコワ選手がまるで本物のお姫様の様で圧巻でした!
のびお😭
FFは何作続こうがED曲には毎作使ってほしい。これが流れて「あーFFってやっぱええなぁ」って思いにふけたいんだよな
FFは日本が産み出した最高の作品だと思う。色々なストーリーを魅せてくれて、そして色々な感動を与えてくれた。そんなFFに感謝
よく英語だらけのなかで日本語うてたねww
FF万歳

All rise for the video game national anthem.
Stands and bows in respect to this masterpiece. ❤
*International
I would say this peice definitely qualifies as the video game national anthem (if there was one).
Banana Breeze This comment deserves more love.
I literally listen to this at a shrine I made for Final Fantasy!
オリンピックの開会式で使われましたね。
ゲームを全くやらなかったので知らなかったけど、この曲を推していた方のコメント見て聴きにきました。なんて素晴らしい曲。
初のオーケストラで上手く行かなくて凹んでたら、すぎやまこういち先生から「これは君のLV1なんだよ頑張りなさい」って言われたって、エッセイで読んだ時、色々重なっててすごく助けられた。
FF4のアルバムは、今でも仕事場でちょくちょく流してる。
同梱の「人生思うがままなのだ」は、十代からずっと、自分に重なる事が多くて名著。
全てはこの曲から始まった。
これ程、テーマと沿って、プレイヤーにお土産置いてった曲を僕は知らない。
なんていい言葉なんだ………。
人間が作れるとは思えないほど綺麗な音楽
そだろ？だってこれAIが作ったもん
人間だからこそ❤
パロム あんちゃん、ありがとよ！

Makes me pump my chest out.

Uematsu just carries around a wand with him in case he ever randomly walks into an orchestra.
Would have to be a rod.
bananian lol
He actually is, his band is called that, remember ?
The Black Mages.
And Nobou is THE Black Mage.
Its a baton?

東京オリンピックの開会式で流れるとは。
これぞ日本の音楽史に残る宝。
And so the journey began...
A line of successful and memorable games soon were released.
Yet Square only knew half of what was ahead.
Their first game soon became a success, and was released to the U.S.
Then they made more games, each one better than the last.
However, all journeys must come to an end.
This journey, however, will last for an eternity.
FINAL FANTASY
the funny thing is that they called it Final Fantasy, because back then it was the company's last shot at making a successful videogame, thank god they succeeded.
Paulin Paozin oh its in it. It plays during a beautiful scene
Self contradiction?
Thinking FF was Square's first game, lol.
Wonder why it is called Final Fantasy? Because Square was getting backrupt and had one last change to do it right, a Final Fantasy.
And yeah, they went bankrupt because they made all those shit games in the past.
FINAL FANTASY MAY YOU LIVE IN OUR HEARTS FOREVER
I've now been playing FF games for 26 years, long before some of you were even born. This song brings an indescribable feeling to me. I've beaten so many of them, and went on so many journeys. It all started with four warriors, each holding an orb...
haha edgy man
Practically ended with that for me. Only FF games I've played are 1, 2/4, some of 3/6, Tactics, 7, and 8. And my faves are always 1 and 2/4. Thank you Nintendo Power for realizing there's be many crying 10 year olds who didn't know WTF to do in chunks of the game, and the internet and GameFAQS didn't exist yet.
ya sure.
+Jon Ericson lol man you took the words out my mouth...1, and what used to be two and three in the us, then 7 and a bit of 8. but yea I had Nintendo power starting with issue 1...good times back then
+Michael Raymond anybody remember the Nintendo hotline? the 900 number? ( ;
ファイナルファンタジーを初めてプレイしたとき、確か主人公が橋を渡って冒険がまさに今から始まる、、、みたいな感じでこのテーマが流れた記憶があります。
ファミコンの音源は単調だったけれど、それでもワクワクする気持ちは凄くあったのを今でも覚えています。
いつ聴いても素晴らしい。
While watching this, when Nobuo came out, I was overcome with emotion. All I could say over and over in my head was, "Thank you."
The End of FFXV also ends with "Thank You" lol
This has my vote as the Earth's anthem
植松さん、感動です！！(T^T)
ドラクエのOPは何でもない一人の少年を勇者に変えてくれる曲、FFのOPは何でもない一人の少年をヒーローに変えてくれる曲。
私の少年時代を彩ってくれた、魔法の音楽です。

Every new years day I play this song. It has been a long tradition of mine. I can only hope this videos stays so I can continue to start the new year like a new adventure for many years
Hearing this from games, to Distant Worlds, then played in Tokyo 2020 Olympics parade of nations! Nobuo Uematsu is a gift to mankind. ❤💎

When I hear this music, I feel like just returning from a great war and gaining honor. I also do not realize that tears began to drop. Such a fantastic theme. Anyway, this version is the one in Final Fantasy VIII.
that's exactly what happened in the end of FFXIV when the music started to play
Yeah. Another great version is on FFXV, in the end of the game :-)
@@premlaseraphim1115 try the FF7 Advent children version, for me personally, that's the best, I think you can search "FF7 AV ending theme" ^_^
1:30 Nobuo Uematsu!
結婚式のオープニングこれ流すつもりです༼∗ღღ∗༽
めちゃくちゃ良いじゃないですか!！ 羨ましい限りです！
最高の結婚式になると思います！
これは泣く
悲しさの中に救うべき者の為に闘う意志と勇気、冒険への希望を感じる

開幕から既に涙
Wish they played this at my graduation.
ゼロムスとの最終決戦の熱い戦った思い出蘇るな。
And so, their journey begins...

ノビオ師匠は世界のゲーム音楽史に消えない足跡をのこした🌍
感動した!!
Nobu が Symphonic Suite で Final Fantasy のメイン テーマをどのように作成したかが大好きです。
This song is the song at the end of every Final Fantasy in the series and movie. I could never forget this song.
I love this song so much. Final Fantasy has been a huge part of my life.. and a very large part of that is the music. This song especially drives home how much I love the series. It actually makes me emotional to listen to this.. Thank you Uematsu, for all the memories.
it's gonna be interesting to see what the main theme is gonna sound like on Final Fantasy VII Remake for PS4.
Lo Lolo LOL. What a myth!
Yes!!!
For everyone bickering about this theme, all I have to say to you is: "SIT DOWN SHUT UP AND DRINK YOUR GODDAMN TEA!"
1:30 It's funny to me how Nobuo can simply walk on stage in casual clothes and start conducting, because that's always how I kind of envisioned it. No fancy suits or tuxedos.

나에게 rpg라는 게임장르를 알려준 파이널판타지 지금 들어도 심장을 울리는 ost
My first Final Fantasy Game was Final fantasy 7. Now it's 20 years ago. Oh man I'm old now. :(
love this tune, hate how no one realizes this is the theme of final fantasy, all the games, this and not the prelude, or the various overworld themes.
+ChanceRat Same here, and it's hands down the best piece of music in the series!
Final Fantasy. . . . a game that brings tears of loss and anger. . . tears of triumph and happiness. . . a game that brings you into the magical world. . . .as you hope this surreal journey never ends. . . .
Should be the national anthem of Japan
Again, I thought Dragon Quest
Dragon Quest for sure
The latest FF games haven't had this theme.....which to me makes them not real entries :)
lets be real a game hasn't featured this song since the release of Final Fantasy V. thats like saying the last 2 decades of games aren't real entries.
then like also saying the spin off games like Tactics and Crystal Chronicles are
I guess I forgot IX uses this song
Jordan Jarvis
What? The endings always use this theme, the only FF that doens't is FFX.
to be completely honest I've only played international versions of the games and they do not have them as for NTSC and PAL regions I'm not sure. you maybe correct
j'en pleure tellement cette musique est magnifique et envoutante...
2:00 Coming up next on the SyFy channel, Mosquito! Followed by Sharknado 2: The Sharknadoing, starring John Rhys-Davies.
*****
Do u know what gullible means?
Nobuo is so freaking boss, he doesn't need a tux to look professional when conducting a concert, he can just wear casual and still blow everyone's mind!
Wonderful soundtrack. One of my favorite.
Every time I play this video, I find myself repeating it like 20 times... I simply love this piece.
Long live Final Fantasy!
Yeah
I still remember the first time I popped that game in and the goosebumps that followed.
すばらしい
FF8のメインテーマが1番好きです！
8でffメインテーマが完成
8以降のメインテーマはアレンジになる

GOD DAMMIT, UEMATSU YOU'RE SUCH A NERD!
STAY ALIVE FOREVER!
Just here to remind everyone that Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn is indisputably the biggest Final Fantasy game in the franchise. I could not be happier to be a part of it.
