I tell you a story, an impossible but true story: When I was young I played FF7 and was blown away, like most people. So of course I played 8 too, heard the song, loved it and always remembered it. Anyway life went on, got a job, but at some point at the lowest point of my life I decided I need to do something else. Years have passed, it is 2009 and I was going on a trip to find myself. Went backpacking for half a year in South Wast Asia and China. At the end end my trip in China I meet a girl, a Chinese girl in my hostel room and she was listening to this song on her phone. So I went like "Yo, isn't that Eyes on me from Final Fantasy 8?" and she's like, no it's from Faye Wong, she is a Chinese singer and I'm like "No I meant from the video game" and she just starred at me with blank eyes, like wtf is he talking about. So I explained, it's a japanese video game and I always thought the singer is Japanese as well. She still confused what kind of weirdo I am, so I asked her out with the people I meet in the hostel together tonight. She said, well I will think about it... She never came... But next afternoon after waking up hangover I found a note beside my pillow: "I'm so sorry I didn't came but thank you for inviting me, here my phone and email. Had to leave early in the morning". She was just polite, which I didn't know. I did contact her, even tough she didn't expect me to as it was just meant as a apology for being unpolite in her opinion. End of story? No... We stayed in contact even after I've been back home. But I still wasn't finished. So I asked her to help me find a school in which I could study Chinese for a year, which she really did... Forward to 2019, the rest is history and we are married for 6 years and right now we are moving from China to my country. All because someone at Squaresoft 20 years ago decided to include a Chinese song in a Japanese video game. We are also going to have children soon. So, a life will be created only because of that...
I was 8 when my brother came home with FFVIII. I would watch him play for hours. I instantly fell in love with this song hearing it for the first time. I'm 31 now and I just got married this past weekend. I walked down the aisle to this song. I still get teary eyed thinking about it. Music can move you so deeply.
Like you would remember and love a song at 8. To some it may be 'deeply' to you it was most likely.. "hey what about this cool song I barely remember" but hey with youth, comes focus.. on lesser things... lol Basically it means more to some of us than to you if it did happen. GL. Enjoy the mindless likes people always give, I'm' sure it won't promote your falsehood ..............................
@@happysmileyman I am fine man, thanks. It's just that I miss her sometimes and this song helps me remember the good old days where everything was difficult but beautiful.
@@chrisst.joseph1873 Undeniably a song can soothe one person's feeling and heart when hard time comes. It's glad to know that this song creates a connection between you and your late mother...wish she goes fine in Heaven, and you as well. 😁
Never be afraid to me an emotional man. I cry to this game everytime I replay it, and i get major feels everytime I hear this song. One of my fav games of all time, and one of my fav things on the planet period.
They just don’t make ‘‘em like they used to! FF7,8, and 9 have some of the best music not just in video games, but anywhere imo. To say Nobuo Uematsu is a genius is an understatement.
I was 11 years old when I first played this game from a rental shop. Our family was very poor and we cannot afford a PS1 console because we can't even afford a good meal. My mom had literally pulled me by the ear to drag me outside of the rental shop just to stop playing. This song will always have a special place in my heart because it reminds me of the challenges that I had as a kid. It reminds me that I had the best parents. It reminds me of the dream that I am living in right now. I am not super rich but I am very proud that I live a comfortable life. It just saddens me that I no longer have my parents to see it. I am turning 37 now, diagnosed with adhd as a kid, now working as a senior consultant in an IT company. Like this comment if you stumble upon it. 😔 ❤
Takes me back a very long time..pretty much 20 years now. I think it's time to break out the game again, can't wait to get the Ragnarok again. I wonder if my leg will still cramp up ?
Most painful song in my life. This is the song I am playing when I was informed that my first love girlfriend died because of a health condition. The song played while my tears were falling. It's been 20 years since then. But when I hear this song, still feels like yesterday.
Its painful, but over time...im sure this song meant for us to be strong at hard times. A reminder of beauty that still lingers in this life. Believe it
How ironic. Because in the game, the singer of this song wrote this song for a man she loved. She confessed her feelings to him through this song, the night before he got sent off to the front lines for war, in which the man reciprocated her feelings because their feelings were mutual. Sadly, they didn't end up together because he never returned from the war. He survived his mission but was too gravely injured and fell into the sea, drifted away to some remote village or town. By the time he recovered, he was assumed to be Killed And Missing In Action. By then, she married another man.
Feels good to know that so many people have such a strong emotional connection and memories attached to this sond and period of time. Makes me feel like we’re part of something 🥹
The way Rinoa looks at Squall when she thinks he's dead is both heartbreaking and beautiful, showing how much she truly cares for him and wants him back.
@@dna9218the song itself? In Final Fantasy 8, it was written by a character named Julia about the love she had for Laguna Loire, and is later used as the love song between Laguna’s and Raine’s son Squall (the main character) and Julia’s daughter Rinoa, the 2 shown in this video
This game was so real to me. Growing up I was never liked by girls and this let me experience what falling for someone was like before I experienced it for myself. This song is the epitome of that feeling.
Just finished this game today... and I just have to say it’s by far the best final fantasy game ever. The characters are memorable and the soundtrack and story... I will never forget this game.
This song returned me back to 2003 to the beautiful memories that will never be forgotten , to days I wish to live it back even for an hour… it returned me back to my self
Rinoa and Squall is nice, Yuna and Tidus is nice, Garnet and Zidane is nice...But, for what little we were shown, Raine and Laguna was so beautiful and heartbreaking, they did such a good job at conveying that feeling of a relationship getting developed and nurtured...And they just showed us what? A small dream sequence at the beginning of Disc 2 and another bit at the ending via Laguna´s remembrance?
Whenever sang my songs On the stage, on my own Whenever said my words Wishing they would be heard I saw you smiling at me Was it real or just my fantasy You'd always be there in the corner Of this tiny in little bar My last night here for you Same old songs, just once more My last night tear with you? Maybe yes, maybe no I kind of liked it to your way How you shyly placed your eyes on me Oh, did you ever know? That I had mine on you Darling, so there you are With that look on your face As if you're never hurt As if you're never down Shall I be the one for you Who pinches you softly but sure If frown is shown then I will know that you are no dreamer So let me come to you Close as I wanted to be Close enough for me To feel your heart beating fast And stay there as I whisper How I loved your peaceful eyes on me Did you ever know That I had mine on you Darling, so share with me Your love if you have enough your tears if you're holding back Or pain if that's what it is How can I let you know I'm more than the dress and the voice Just reach me out then You will know that you're not dreaming Darling, so there you are With that look on your face As if you're never hurt As if you're never down Shall I be the one for you Who pinches you softly but sure If frown is shown then I will know that you are no dreamer
It's "I never sang my songs, on this stage, on my own!" as the first sentence of the song, I don't think 'whenever' makes sense, even if she sung it wrong. It's a pretty song, but anyways...
When that flute kicks it, it always summons a tear. Beautiful music in games that mirror the story and gameplay is extremely rare now a days. Final fantasy 7 through 9 had the best soundtracks, as I grow older I realized it's the soundtracks of actual life. I started when I was 12 with FF, I'm reaching 33, and damn every track has hit me in the feels as I get older every year. This song, I was in love but got my heart broken, we got divorced. Listening to this song, it's like I wish it was a dream but one I didn't want to wake up from, but she gave me a rude awakening.
la escuche por primera vez hace 24 años, y a dia de hoy, aun estremece y aplaca mi alma y corazon, por alguna razon hace brotar lagrimas de mis ojos... aqui un amante de Final Fantasy VIII, que me introdujo al mundo de los juegos de fantasia...
I recently played final fantasy 8 and this song is my favorite from series. It’s very soothing and relaxing. The voice is so beautiful. And it just touches my soul every time i hear it. I’m glad I played 8 even though what stopped me from playing it sooner were people who were saying it was a bad game. But they were wrong and it’s one of my favorite games. I hope one day I too will find a Rinoa who can give me happiness
VII, VIII, IX, and X made me a fan of this series. Yeah I may have started with the 3D Remake of IV, but I played VII-X in early 7th grade. God knows how long I spent on them, and even now with their ports and remasters I’ve rebought them. Thank you Square for making my favorite video game series.
Heck I have all my notes that I made while playing the games, and I still use them. I even own the soundtracks now on Apple Music and Spotify. This series means so much to me, and has gotten me through good times and hard times.
2008 my wedding songs.. year 2000 i play this games.. I fell in love.. With this games.. One of the best game i ever play.. For me best ff game.. Number one.. And ffx is number two, Number three is FF7 Original..
awesome indeed!! and the story is great, full of cliche but in a good way.. a witch hunter having affair with a witch and turns out that their parents are actually ex-lovers.. cliche, but, wow..!!
Those last seconds of this song, starting at 5:06 with Rinoa smiling at Squall, pointing up and Squall smiling back and the embracing and kissing her until the end have haunted me since the late 90's and will continue to do so forevermore. Beautifully melancholic, nostalgically dolorous and majestically romantic and magical... Nod in your direction SQUARESOFT and *_FINAL FANTASY VIII..._* Thank you for the memories...
Whenever sing my songs 不論在何時唱著我的歌 On the stage on my own 在舞台上也好，孤獨一個人也好 Whenever said my words 不管什麼時候說著我的話 Wishing they would be heard 一直希望能夠讓你聽見 I saw you smiling at me 望著你對我的笑容 Was it real or just my fantasy 不知道這是真實還是幻想 You’d always be there in the corner 你總是一如往日的出現在角落 Of this tiny little bar……………………. 在這狹小的小酒吧 My last night here for you 昨夜我為你守候了一晚 Same old songs just once more 一遍一遍唱著你我的歌曲 My last night here with you? 昨晚我真的為了你而在這裡嗎？ Maybe yes maybe no 也許是，也許不是 I kind of liked it your way 我好喜歡你的一切 How you shyly placed your eyes on me 你怎麼能夠用如此羞澀的眼神望著我 Oh did you ever know? 喔！你曾知道嗎？ That I had mine on you………………. 我的心早就屬於你 *Darling so there you are 親愛的，所以你就在那裡 With that look on your face 讓我好好的看著你 As if you’re never hurt 就當你從不受傷 As if you’re never down 就當你從不跌倒 Shall I be the one for you 讓我成為你的一部份，好嗎？ Who pinches you softly but sure 誰溫柔但是卻傷了你呢？ If frown is shown then 如果為了挫折就皺眉的話 I will know that you are no dreamer…………………, 我會認為你是沒有夢想的人 So let me come to you 所以，讓我奔向你 p.s..不知道你是否沒把歌詞貼完呢？ 因為我找到的歌詞裡 在"So let me come to you"後，還有三小段喔！ 我把它貼出來，讓你看看！ So let me come to you 所以，讓我奔向你 Close as I wanted to be 像我所想像的去接近你 Close enough for me 盡量的靠近我 To feel your heart beating fast 讓我去感受你快速的心跳 And stay there as I whisper 留在那裡，當我低語時 How I loved your peaceful eyes on me 我是如此愛你用溫柔的的眼神看著我 Did you ever know 你是否明瞭 That I had mine on you 我的心早就屬於你 Dailing, so share with me 親愛的，跟我分享你的所有 Your love if you have enough 與你一起分享足夠的愛 Your tears if you're holding back 當你心情不好時，我會和你一同分擔 Or pain if that's what it is 或不管什麼痛苦，我與你承擔 How can I let you know 要如何才能讓你知道 I'm more than the dress and the voice 華麗的外表和動人的聲音都不夠形容我 Just reach me out then 只管放心的到我身邊 You will know that you're not dreaming 你會明瞭這不只是一場夢 Darling so there you are 親愛的，所以你就在那裡 With that look on your face 讓我好好的看著你 As if you’re never hurt 就當你從不受傷 As if you’re never down 就當你從不跌倒 Shall I be the one for you 讓我成為你的一部份，好嗎？ Who pinches you softly but sure 誰溫柔但是卻傷了你呢？ If frown is shown then 如果為了挫折就皺眉的話 I will know that you are no dreamer…………………, 我會認為你是沒有夢想的人
honestly, i never played the game yet, but when i hear this song, i feel the memories, not my memories, but all the memories from peoples who played this game. The joy, fun sadness, everything
Underestimated? Underrated? You sure come at the wrong timing to say that. FF never been underrated when it was at its era. But if you talk about 2022-2023 you probably just found out about FF, because they are way too many games out there including popular mobile phone games.
Man.,...This has me missing my mom so bad. This game, along with FFVIII, were games that we really bonded over in my childhood. I never felt more loved, cared for, and seen by my mom than those years spent playing this game beginning to end over and over. I miss you old bird, you left too soon and words can never truly express that. I know that you have your eyes on me from wherever you may be. Rest easy old gal
This song and music video has always been played in a cable tv chatroom in the Philippines in the early 2000's. This song is truly popular back in the day especially in the night until the next morning. They played it at least 20 or 25 times. The sequence of playtime is this song then another song then another song and this song again. I remember kids back in the days of Friendster and MySpace, they use the pictures of Squall and Rinoa as their profile picture.
***** Yes. That is exactly the reason why I love Final Fantasy games. You really do feel for those characters and every time I finish those games -even after many replays- I feel so empty inside, when the story ends.
***** Oh, I did not mean like it was a bad thing. To me it means that game/book or sometimes even a movie was great enough to give me true feelings. That is the reason why I love gaming (and reading). If it didn't make me feel that way I would have never became a gamer and would have never started studying programming and development. My life is full on it's own, but games and books add something even more to it. Well, the great ones certainly do.
I'm playing the Remastered now and man it's still phenomenal as it was 13 years ago when I first played it. Turning on this song while running around in Balamb Garden - one of the best moments in video games for me.
It's been over 10 years since the first time I heard this song. I still remember my friends kept a save file at Ragnarok just to listen to this song over and over. Oh, memories...
I haven't heard this song in a long time, about a dozen years ago. My mom gifted my young brother with a computer and I listened to him play this song over and over again on it. At that time he was about 16 years old, a cheerful teenager who was very happy living life. Now things are different... The days of my mother are gone... All that's left are sweet and sad memories at the same time when I accidentally found this song... I thought of my mom and my young brother... I miss you guys so much...🥺😢😢
2022 and still listening to this song. My 2 years old daughter loves this song so much, she'll only fall asleep listening while singing parts of this song
I just finished the game 20 years later and the feeling still the same. FF8 is a masterpiece and makes me emotional because of the story and soundtrack =)
All these years on, I have yet to play a game as incredible and beautiful as this. I mean yeah I've played some really really great games but none that I feel so sentimental and passionate about as this. Loved it back then and love it now.
Count Vanderhosen a lot of people sucked at it...and struggled with the junctioning system. overall it was fantastic, although im a little bias since it was my first ff
This game is always there for me when I’m depressed, I finished this game two years ago when I was still in high school and still fantastic to this day
I went into this game with low expectations because people said it was bad. Now after beating the game I've gotta say its one of my favorite games of all time. Absolutely love it.
They need to remaster ff7 and ff8 completely and add surprises like map expansions and off missions and extra games, the generation that loved these games deserve that, these two games never get old but especially ff8 for me its more realistic taste, and i don't think voices will hurt as long as they remaster dramatic cgi cinematics genuinely. They have also released hd versions on steam so a new generation can fall in love with the originals! ;-)
I agree with you friends. I'm one who played all the final fantasies but only 4 of them that really moved me. Final fantasy 6, 7, 8 and 9. The story and music on these 4 series are the best ever. I still listen to their music and I hope they would be remastered. Because I'm sick with these new bull shit final fantasy games that lack so much things.
square enix has said they have purposely just killed time with the newer games too make sure theres a market of support so they can afford remastering the classics, us true fans know the fans are ready but its just not happening?? where would they listen and what site do we steer our ship at at!! lol
my dad showed me this video when i was around 10 years old. i’m 27 now and each time i listened to this song i hold my breath because i fear if i dare to breathe or blink i will miss some beautiful moment or note of this song
i dedicated this song to my boyfriend the first time when i meet him... Right now, we have 1 year and 2 months together... Hoping to be an entirely life together ♥
I love this song and the story,it bring me back to 2000 when the first time i heard this song,at the age full of fantasy.That was really a period of time worth remembering.
This video game is very treasured to me. I'm replaying it on ps4. The most wonderfully nostalgic memories. An absolute masterpiece. A real treat to replay. I can relate to the character of squall very much. Rinoa was beautiful.
One of the greatest love songs of all time from one of the greatest love stories in gaming history. I can't wait to see these scenes and hear these songs remastered.
Truly a wonderful song, this song is so nostalgic. Somehow making me cry or what, time really does flies. I remember when I first played final fantasy when I was young. Well, now I'm one year away turning 18
I finished this game in 2001 and cried seeing the end...all this years and I still have my eyes filled of tears when I see the end of this game. I cried too when I defeat Omega Weapon.
I was playing this song when I was in high school and it became a favorite of my aunt, she asked for the lyrics. So nostalgic. Brings back the love and pain when I was still a teenager lol

Beautiful story of yours ;) ...
makes me wonder where is my destined love :3
Great story but the song was written by the writers of ff8 for ff8 and then they chose Faye wong to sing it
Funny how things work out like that, touching story
That's weird and beautiful at the same time how game can unite two people.
that's the most beautiful thing i've ever read. I really hope it's a true story
I was 8 when my brother came home with FFVIII. I would watch him play for hours. I instantly fell in love with this song hearing it for the first time. I'm 31 now and I just got married this past weekend. I walked down the aisle to this song. I still get teary eyed thinking about it. Music can move you so deeply.

Much love to you
Feels good to know that so many people have such a strong emotional connection and memories attached to this sond and period of time. Makes me feel like we’re part of something 🥹
How can a song get a person so emotional? I always wanna cry like a little girl when I hear this.
Same here. When the last part when Rinoa cry really make me cry :(
Is this song related to event in your life? Maybe that period of your life emotions subconsciously connected to this song
The way Rinoa looks at Squall when she thinks he's dead is both heartbreaking and beautiful, showing how much she truly cares for him and wants him back.
Squall jumping into space to save Rinoa or die with her in his arms.

每次听这首歌 都会想起过世的弟弟 他最爱的游戏 也是他推这首歌给我 ❤ 愿弟弟在另一个世界 过得开心
The flute solo has aged like fine wine. I remember loving it when I was 8 years old and I still love it now that im 30 years old.
I’m 41 and it’s still giving me goosebumps, very happy memories flowing to me
One of the best pieces of music I've ever heard.
This game was so real to me. Growing up I was never liked by girls and this let me experience what falling for someone was like before I experienced it for myself. This song is the epitome of that feeling.
Ohh dude that is exactly what this game meant to me
Did the girls mistake your for Aaron Paul? That might be why you werent popular :D.
Why games will never be the same. I miss FF8
Hopefully you will get your soul mate eventually and you will know that sweet wait worth every seconds..
Just finished this game today... and I just have to say it’s by far the best final fantasy game ever. The characters are memorable and the soundtrack and story... I will never forget this game.
Underrated as hell. Imo, it had the best setting in the entire franchise.
same here, but a little less than ff IX, a little
I liked everything about the game besides the combat system tbh 😭. Only put up with it because I was emotionally invested in the story
@@UltimateDailga12 i would argue that the stories are the only reason ff games are as loved as they are, so the combat taking a backseat is okay
8 is great but 9 is better

37 years old. Still listening to this.
34 here ;)
FF VII, VIII and IX will always have special place on my heart.
FF VII got many of cool characters.

FF IX for the real fantasy vibes.
Which is your favorite though?
@@andreweaton6363if i must choose, i'll choose VIII

This song returned me back to 2003 to the beautiful memories that will never be forgotten , to days I wish to live it back even for an hour… it returned me back to my self
Yet this song was originally released near the end of the 90s. You most likely just listened to it beginning 2003 or took interest in it in 2003.
Rinoa and Squall is nice, Yuna and Tidus is nice, Garnet and Zidane is nice...But, for what little we were shown, Raine and Laguna was so beautiful and heartbreaking, they did such a good job at conveying that feeling of a relationship getting developed and nurtured...And they just showed us what? A small dream sequence at the beginning of Disc 2 and another bit at the ending via Laguna´s remembrance?
This is actually the song Raine sang for Laguna. Their love is actually the essence of the whole game.

@@SangNguyen-ql3qm its the song julia sang about laguna, not raine
@@SangNguyen-ql3qm squall and rinoa were close to being siblings! How weird is that..
There should be a dlc of raine and laguna
This song feels like a warm hug
Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny in little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night tear with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it to your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you
Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
your tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer
It's "I never sang my songs, on this stage, on my own!" as the first sentence of the song, I don't think 'whenever' makes sense, even if she sung it wrong. It's a pretty song, but anyways...
The most romantic game I've ever played. And Rinoa, for me, is the most beautiful video game heroine I have ever known.
Beautiful song. I'm 44 and still cry with it
When that flute kicks it, it always summons a tear. Beautiful music in games that mirror the story and gameplay is extremely rare now a days. Final fantasy 7 through 9 had the best soundtracks, as I grow older I realized it's the soundtracks of actual life. I started when I was 12 with FF, I'm reaching 33, and damn every track has hit me in the feels as I get older every year.
This song, I was in love but got my heart broken, we got divorced. Listening to this song, it's like I wish it was a dream but one I didn't want to wake up from, but she gave me a rude awakening.
2021 and still listening to this song. Truly a song that transcend time.
You guys don't even know, how much this game means to me.
No, you can't even imagine how this game means to me bro.
TyTimeIsAwesome i do, this game means so much to me too :)
TyTimeIsAwesome No way! this means so much more to me.
TyTimeIsAwesome You aint alone in feelin that bro =)
+TyTimeIsAwesome u r right, we don't know.
Finalfantasy + chilshood = epic generation
6~10 generation
la escuche por primera vez hace 24 años, y a dia de hoy, aun estremece y aplaca mi alma y corazon, por alguna razon hace brotar lagrimas de mis ojos...
aqui un amante de Final Fantasy VIII, que me introdujo al mundo de los juegos de fantasia...
Someday I want to dance to this song with that special someone that's yet to come
I tried. And was denied.
My wife-to-be hates dancing, sadly. Sniff
I wish you luck.
Thanks m8 :) and maybe she hates dancing because she doesn't?you could try signing both of you in vals classes?it's a really romantic dance :)
Guille2033
I tried that too lol
The woman simply doesn't get I really just want to embrace her softly while we dance having a very high quality time.
Make sure you don't say too many "whatever" to that special someone.:)
And you'll call him "daddy".
I recently played final fantasy 8 and this song is my favorite from series. It’s very soothing and relaxing. The voice is so beautiful. And it just touches my soul every time i hear it. I’m glad I played 8 even though what stopped me from playing it sooner were people who were saying it was a bad game. But they were wrong and it’s one of my favorite games. I hope one day I too will find a Rinoa who can give me happiness
VII, VIII, IX, and X made me a fan of this series. Yeah I may have started with the 3D Remake of IV, but I played VII-X in early 7th grade. God knows how long I spent on them, and even now with their ports and remasters I’ve rebought them. Thank you Square for making my favorite video game series.
Heck I have all my notes that I made while playing the games, and I still use them. I even own the soundtracks now on Apple Music and Spotify. This series means so much to me, and has gotten me through good times and hard times.
2008 my wedding songs.. year 2000 i play this games.. I fell in love.. With this games.. One of the best game i ever play.. For me best ff game.. Number one.. And ffx is number two, Number three is FF7 Original..
I don't care what people says but I adore this game so much. This game will always stay in my heart.
I remembered..this was one of hell of game...through the many series..this one is the one I feel really related...
agung nugroho yoi bro.. the first franchise for me...
yeah....the space ship scene is really something dont you think?
awesome indeed!! and the story is great, full of cliche but in a good way.. a witch hunter having affair with a witch and turns out that their parents are actually ex-lovers.. cliche, but, wow..!!
I played this game because it was introduce to me by an ex-gf and from here on I fell inlove with the whole RPG genre.
@@whitelotus5538 I never cared for any FF.game series or RPG. This was the first game I happened to try and somehow it was my favorite.
I can't express enough how lucky I am to be living in a world where this song exists
Those last seconds of this song, starting at 5:06 with Rinoa smiling at Squall, pointing up and Squall smiling back and the embracing and kissing her until the end have haunted me since the late 90's and will continue to do so forevermore. Beautifully melancholic, nostalgically dolorous and majestically romantic and magical... Nod in your direction SQUARESOFT and *_FINAL FANTASY VIII..._* Thank you for the memories...
Nobody can beat the emotions in FF8 AND FF7
FFX did pretty well though!
Have you played FFXV yet? I think that beat both FF8 and FF7 in the emotions department.
FF8 was corny AF but not emotional
I said corny because I didn't want to use cringey.
Your forgetting about IX
Whenever sing my songs
不論在何時唱著我的歌

That I had mine on you……………….
这个不是翻译成： 我的（眼神也）在您身上。。。 吗？
honestly, i never played the game yet, but when i hear this song, i feel the memories, not my memories, but all the memories from peoples who played this game. The joy, fun sadness, everything
FFVIII will always hold a special place in my heart. The soundtrack was so emotional and stood out. Despite the flaws, FFVIII really is a masterpiece
I totally agree so so beautiful game
I want to hear this song in my final moment in this world. To relive every beautiful memory I had in my life.
2022 this still makes me cry. And transport me to a time when I was younger and blindly believe in love. Thanks FFVIII. Highly underestimated game 🎮
Underestimated? Underrated? You sure come at the wrong timing to say that. FF never been underrated when it was at its era. But if you talk about 2022-2023 you probably just found out about FF, because they are way too many games out there including popular mobile phone games.
Man.,...This has me missing my mom so bad. This game, along with FFVIII, were games that we really bonded over in my childhood. I never felt more loved, cared for, and seen by my mom than those years spent playing this game beginning to end over and over. I miss you old bird, you left too soon and words can never truly express that. I know that you have your eyes on me from wherever you may be. Rest easy old gal
This song and music video has always been played in a cable tv chatroom in the Philippines in the early 2000's. This song is truly popular back in the day especially in the night until the next morning. They played it at least 20 or 25 times. The sequence of playtime is this song then another song then another song and this song again.
I remember kids back in the days of Friendster and MySpace, they use the pictures of Squall and Rinoa as their profile picture.
Indeed. Never played the game but only known this song because of those programs. It always had my attention whenever this song plays
Played this on PC and after 20 years this song still stuck inside your head. Jesus
Its been 2023 and still watching this, i miss this game so much :
It's remastered on ps4. No need to miss it anymore.
Listen during 2020 Pandemic.
Really a tough year for everybody,
must be strong & we can overcome it.
My first Final Fantasy and will always be my favorite PS1 Final Fantasy.
i dont know why but each time i listen tto this song. i kinda wanna cry.. :/
Yup, same here. I actually have.
Every damn time!!!
***** Yes. That is exactly the reason why I love Final Fantasy games. You really do feel for those characters and every time I finish those games -even after many replays- I feel so empty inside, when the story ends.
***** Oh, I did not mean like it was a bad thing. To me it means that game/book or sometimes even a movie was great enough to give me true feelings. That is the reason why I love gaming (and reading). If it didn't make me feel that way I would have never became a gamer and would have never started studying programming and development. My life is full on it's own, but games and books add something even more to it. Well, the great ones certainly do.
neoDarkSquall your stupid opinion will be considered, thank you for answer jerk :))
I'm playing the Remastered now and man it's still phenomenal as it was 13 years ago when I first played it. Turning on this song while running around in Balamb Garden - one of the best moments in video games for me.
Yo tambien lo jugue por primera vez a esa edad! Y hoy lo acabo de terminar de nuevo con la remaster, que maravillosa experiencia
@@carrionkny5407 what the fuck?
I was 15 when this came out. It shaped my freshman year of high school. Still one of the best game romances. Faye Wong is a truly talented artist.
It's been over 10 years since the first time I heard this song. I still remember my friends kept a save file at Ragnarok just to listen to this song over and over. Oh, memories...
Yup did that too. Dem feelz
Oh memories ...😞
I haven't heard this song in a long time, about a dozen years ago. My mom gifted my young brother with a computer and I listened to him play this song over and over again on it. At that time he was about 16 years old, a cheerful teenager who was very happy living life. Now things are different... The days of my mother are gone... All that's left are sweet and sad memories at the same time when I accidentally found this song... I thought of my mom and my young brother... I miss you guys so much...🥺😢😢
33 years old
Finished this thing 3 times
The reason why I main gunbreaker in FFXIV
Thank you SE and Yoshi-P 🙌🏼
2022 and still listening to this song. My 2 years old daughter loves this song so much, she'll only fall asleep listening while singing parts of this song
Has been 10 years and I'm still listening in the office today =D
Such wonderful song yet perfect FF game ever.
+Bryan Chong So agree with you! I am listening to it now
still keeps this song inside my phone and pc...
this is some of childhood memory that paints and made what i am today... beautiful
I just finished the game 20 years later and the feeling still the same. FF8 is a masterpiece and makes me emotional because of the story and soundtrack =)
This song has hit all of us for those who have heard it. This is beautiful.
I have forgotten what I ate for lunch 2 days ago but I can still clearly remember the day I heard this song the first time in 1999.
All these years on, I have yet to play a game as incredible and beautiful as this. I mean yeah I've played some really really great games but none that I feel so sentimental and passionate about as this. Loved it back then and love it now.
right? A lot of people didnt like ff8 but it's still my no1. will always have a special place in my gaming heart. that and metal gear solid.
Count Vanderhosen a lot of people sucked at it...and struggled with the junctioning system. overall it was fantastic, although im a little bias since it was my first ff
I look forward to witnessing FFVIII Remake someday in the future.
Ito yung Larong hinding hindi mo pagsasawaan! hays kakamiss ang kabataan. whos with me March 17, 2021
I miss beautiful memories so much😭😭
FF8 needs a remake.
AGREE!!!
Absolutely!
Carlo Dimaandal Agreed dude!!
No, it doesn't. We need to play it again
Carlo Dimaandal ff8>7
FFVIII is a masterpiece ❤ One of my favorite games of all time
This game is always there for me when I’m depressed, I finished this game two years ago when I was still in high school and still fantastic to this day
I went into this game with low expectations because people said it was bad. Now after beating the game I've gotta say its one of my favorite games of all time. Absolutely love it.
They need to remaster ff7 and ff8 completely and add surprises like map expansions and off missions and extra games, the generation that loved these games deserve that, these two games never get old but especially ff8 for me its more realistic taste, and i don't think voices will hurt as long as they remaster dramatic cgi cinematics genuinely. They have also released hd versions on steam so a new generation can fall in love with the originals! ;-)
***** it think most of the haters on this game hate it because Squalls ridiculously handsome and there wernt that many girl gamers at the time :P
Yea i thought that too but i think squall and rinoa had more in common and similar incidents that bought them closer..
I agree with you friends. I'm one who played all the final fantasies but only 4 of them that really moved me. Final fantasy 6, 7, 8 and 9.
The story and music on these 4 series are the best ever. I still listen to their music and I hope they would be remastered. Because I'm sick with these new bull shit final fantasy games that lack so much things.
square enix has said they have purposely just killed time with the newer games too make sure theres a market of support so they can afford remastering the classics, us true fans know the fans are ready but its just not happening?? where would they listen and what site do we steer our ship at at!! lol
agreed, far as i know, ff 7 was unfinished when it was released :P
this games represent the best years of my teenage years ... FINAL FANTASY STILL THE BEST GAMES I EVER PLAYED
Agree..even i am 38 yrs old now...i still fall in love with series 7,8,9
Who's here in 2024?
Me........I remember buying all 4 disc's of fun when this game first came out
Every year since release. This was my first FF and Jrpg
我
Always
here.
my dad showed me this video when i was around 10 years old. i’m 27 now and each time i listened to this song i hold my breath because i fear if i dare to breathe or blink i will miss some beautiful moment or note of this song
i dedicated this song to my boyfriend the first time when i meet him... Right now, we have 1 year and 2 months together... Hoping to be an entirely life together ♥
I love this song and the story,it bring me back to 2000 when the first time i heard this song,at the age full of fantasy.That was really a period of time worth remembering.
I was born in the year that this game became famous. I miss it a lot. Now, I'm aunt of grandchildren. Thank you for sharing. Watch when. 17/04/2020
I played this game on 2004. Now I'm 36 and still goosegump when I hear this song ....😢
I hate to draw comparisons under such a sincere video. But this game deserves just as much attention as FF7, if not more
This video game is very treasured to me. I'm replaying it on ps4. The most wonderfully nostalgic memories. An absolute masterpiece. A real treat to replay. I can relate to the character of squall very much. Rinoa was beautiful.
Man the old days are the golden days..
スコールの最後の笑顔見た時感動したなぁ…この人こんなふうに笑うんだって…全部リノアと仲間のおかげだね
I will never forget this song!
ever had such a beautiful song make you smile and cry at the same time? Great song and an incredible voice.
One of the greatest love songs of all time from one of the greatest love stories in gaming history. I can't wait to see these scenes and hear these songs remastered.
I miss 2003 i saw this music video of ff8 in zoe tv in philippines,fuse music video 10pm -3am
November 20th 2016...almost 11 years and I still loving Final Fantasy
FF8 has always been my favourite and this song stayed with me .
Truly a wonderful song, this song is so nostalgic. Somehow making me cry or what, time really does flies. I remember when I first played final fantasy when I was young. Well, now I'm one year away turning 18
Man, this song brings back so many memories. It's timeless.
Listening to this before another days drudgery. This song really means something to me. I remember 1999 very well.
I finished this game in 2001 and cried seeing the end...all this years and I still have my eyes filled of tears when I see the end of this game. I cried too when I defeat Omega Weapon.
Omega Weapon...😄😄😄
Your not crying I am
For some reason this song keeps playing in my head today. Wish someone would sing this song to me. Happy anniversary.
How time flies~ This song was played during our HS prom 24 years ago. Memories gone by but the magic is still there~ 🥹
Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Diego T. Nghĩa là gì
Tear inducing
My song when I want to feel nostalgic and happy . I just light my blunt and let this play I go into such a peaceful bliss 😊
How many years it has been.. And still have great memories..
Sylweriusz Chojnowski Ikr? As sad as I'll sound, I never really moved on from FF8, 4 console generations later, it still tops my RPG list.
I was playing this song when I was in high school and it became a favorite of my aunt, she asked for the lyrics. So nostalgic. Brings back the love and pain when I was still a teenager lol
I gotta say this is my all time favorite video game. The story, the imperfections, the complexity and the characters.
