I was married to a girl named Rachel. We were together almost six years, but married less than eight months. She died in a car accident. I broke my leg and lost far more than just a finger in that accident. I listen to this song every so often just to remember how much I loved her.
The whole game is almost entirely endless tragedy that happen and happened to the characters. The world gets destroyed. And everyone loses their homes. And family. And hope. And...well, everything. There are not many happy moments in FF6. But it is absolutely my favorite derivative of the series.
And that's what makes ffvi good, it didn't focused on a single character like terra instead everyone else like celes,locke, etc which have their own background story that makes your outlook on them different.
There's an idiom in writing a story that follows the idea that for a story to be well-received, you, as the writer, must be brutal and caustic to your protagonists. If the protagonists fail, it's a tragedy; if they succeed, then the victory is well-earned. For this reason, the ending of FFVI is welcomed so much.
"I have to go now... ...But thank you so much for all the happiness you've given me... Please, let go of chains that bind your heart... I release you... Give your love to the one who now dwells in your heart... Love her... as you loved me... Phoenix... Be reborn! And give your power... to Locke!!" Yea. I wasn't planning on crying tonight. But then I have to go and load this song up. Might as well go watch Clannad again while I'm creating new rivers.
As a huge fan of both games, I wish that Square would just leave them alone. VII and VI are amazing the way they are. Bringing them into the 21st century with new gameplay, voice actors and most importantly: a new crew working on our beloved worlds and characters will almost certainly end in disappointment. Some stories are best left untouched, especially stories that were as perfect as FF VII and VI.
Despite this being related to a very sad story between Locke and Rachel, it also plays at the game's moment of brightest hope: after losing all hope and attempting suicide, Celes receives a very familiar bandana from a carrier pigeon and realizes Locke is still alive, somewhere. "Forever Rachel" was most powerful for me there.
LoL. "Forever Rachel" define Gratitude, Love and Let It go, This is what called virtue. Human never understand this as they love indulge in 7 sins LoL. Wahahahahahah
+AlterBridgeFan1337 Cloud and Aerith hadn't known each other long enough for me to believe they could be an item. I also dislike that no matter who you get more relationship points with, Cloud still gravitates toward Aerith a lot. I hope that the remake fixes that.
Probably the most deepest scene in this game, and one many players were hoping to see a happier ending to when first learning about it early in the game with Locke's story...I know I was. *sigh* Can relate to the feeling of blaming yourself for a loss. He was fornuate in the game that Rachel "set his heart free" and told him not to hate himself anymore. Many of us may never have that sense of peace. But then again it is a game after all. Prob the deepest of all the FFs
+Silent157 The Rachel story, Celes thoughts of suicide, the Mobliz teen parents, and the attempted neonaticide of Gau . . . those are powerful moments that were way beyond a child's understanding. This is the first RPG to have so many adult themes. Sadly it may never be remade so we can appreciate their world of balance and ruin.
You have incredible talent for making these. Respect to you dude. This will always be my favourite RPG of all time. The story, characters, soundtrack, tragic moments and variety the game offered was just amazing. They don't make them like this anymore. Dying for a remake.
"He'll always remember her as she was just before that accident. I know he cares about me. I can see it in his eyes, under the pain and guilt he still holds. But sometimes at night when he sleeps, he still calls out her name in his dreams - or nightmares. Terra, how do you compete...with a perfect memory?"
Man I am wilding out, is this an actual quote from the game? If you google search this line it literally auto searches for "Things your partner should never say to you" and I am dying with laughter at that in context of what this is.
@@darronlockett9211 It is not from the game. I am just a massive FF6 fan and I like writing fanfiction. Locke is my favorite character from that game, so I get into the characters' headspace.
My grandmother just passed away. I had the original song in my head, and I went looking for it and found this. Thank you...so fucking much. This is beautiful.
Uma melodia brilhante. Um som que faz um belo jus a perda, ao arrependimento, a culpa, e todas as memórias de um passado que jamais retornará. A cena onde a Rachel, em seus últimos minutos de vida, "liberta" o Locke do fardo emocional que ele carregava, é de partir o coração.
Please remake this game square! I remember the good times playing this game. Having bad days at work but then after work I came home to play this game and that made life good.
It's impossible to listen to this and not get chills, at least for me. This game defined my childhood and still remains my favorite RPG of all time. A modded Fallout 3 might be second.
Please, let go of the chains that bind your heart... I release you... Give your love to to the one who now dwells within your heart... Love her... as you loved me...
I love how in the beginning of the game Terra and even Celes question Locke on his motives for helping, and then we finally understand his true hidden pain of losing Rachel being that motivation. Hearing his theme song changed to this sad melody makes his story feel so tragic, yet you dont get that payoff until so late in the game (and you HAD to complete the Phoenix cave in order to do so), and its SO rewarding.
I never dated a girl named Rachel; however, the story behind this song and the emotion of love this song provokes amazing. I've listen to this song when I'm sad for the past 18 years, always seems to put life into prospective.
I have to say that as a kid I was never a fan of this song, but with this version being more powerful than the original, I absolutely love it. Fantastic job my friend.
I don't know what's worse. Celes knowing that Rachel will always have a special place in Locke's heart and loves him more than anyone, or breaking Locke's heart as he helplessly watches Rachel leaving him a second time
I wrote some crappy lyrics to this song for fun. All we truly know is pure Only sorrow is assured All our follies must endure for love’s sake… hearts can’t wake. Fate….must have dulled…its blade to grow my flower. My quiet ode… our final hour….. Vast are chasms of regret Pain and doom our hopes beget Chase the moon as the sun sets But my soul….can’t forget Love makes a man…. or breaks the weak and hateful I’ll never fail….forever rachel.

Sorry to hear that man.. You have my condolences..
heymrk ... :'(
heymrk My wife died too from ovarian cancer and this always makes me think of her.
heymrk I had no idea you had gone through that. I'm sorry for your loss, and it's quite evident why this song makes you think of that event.
Sorry, brother...

Then there is the other side, for an entire year the bad guy wins and Kefka is a god. Not many games do that either

Great point, agreed. Very little happy moments. But so deep man.
Sucks they never mentioned that Shadow was Relms father

i forgot how beautiful the story and character development was in FF6. It really deserves a full blown remake, not sure about 7.

I'm sure you'll never see this, but this scene always reminded me of the part at the end of Clannad where Tomaya stops Nagisa at the foot of the hill.

RIP Rachel, may you find your Celes
The fanboys can say what they want, Locke and Rachel got me in the feels FAR more than Cloud and Aerith.
+AlterBridgeFan1337 of course but only locke has a possible Corps fettish
+AlterBridgeFan1337 I agree completely and will go EVEN farther. FFVI>FFVII !!!
+AlterBridgeFan1337 THANK YOU. Aerith can fuck off.
+Jazzypants2007 Let's just agree both games are equally perfect although I prefer VI over VII.
+AlterBridgeFan1337 Cloud and Aerith hadn't known each other long enough for me to believe they could be an item. I also dislike that no matter who you get more relationship points with, Cloud still gravitates toward Aerith a lot. I hope that the remake fixes that.
They really don't make em like this anymore. Thanks
Locke's backstory could easily be a movie of its own, that's how interesting and well-detailed the characters in FF VI were. An all-time great game :)
Probably the most deepest scene in this game, and one many players were hoping to see a happier ending to when first learning about it early in the game with Locke's story...I know I was.

Good news is Terra isn't interested in Locke, so no need to compete.
@@mikedell3187 ...this was Celes asking Terra for advice on how she was supposed to compete with a perfect memory(Rachel).
My grandmother just passed away. I had the original song in my head, and I went looking for it and found this. Thank you...so fucking much. This is beautiful.
FFVI still surpasses every FF to date in story, music, and characters.
9 has the better musics in all honesty
Final Fantasy 6 had some WEIGHT.
This is beautifully remastered, love this theme
Every time that moment at 0:28 hits, I get chills from it.
It's such a contrast to his trumpeting theme song. Using the same initial first notes and then really taking it to a new, tragic direction.
Same here. This part of the game always made me cry, especially when the music hit just right...
"She said yes ..."
"We were going to...."
😭😭😭
I can never resist crying when this plays during the Phoenix scene 😢

Right in the feels...
You think Locke is just a petty thief that stole anything sparkling? He will trade anything for her, no doubt.
Damn you ninja slicing onion.
😢

Please, let go of the chains that bind your heart...
I release you...
Give your love to to the one who now dwells within your heart...
Love her...
as you loved me...
Man you do great justice to the game, all of your remasters are amazing, seriously thanks for doing these

One of the best composition/story pairings in video game history, hits you in the feels

진짜 미친 명곡이다.......23년만에 들어봐도 감동이다
ㅇㅈㅇㅈ
플레이 할때마다 생각나네요ㅜㅜ
I felt so sorry for Locke. Even more so when the Phoenix didn't work but for only a moment.
The desperate fate between two lovers, can’t beat it.
Love this arrangement, I like the string pad choice, and the cellos. Sad, somber but powerful. Great job!
One of my absolute faves so far. This song really kicks ass and you did an excellent job with it.
泣ける。ff6大好き。
レイチェルとロックのこのシーンは何度見ても泣いてしまう。
I feel like Locke, I miss my girl so much.
Locke? You mean Setzer .
Both
bur Rachel was Locke's girl
Me too... if the the things were diferent... if it didn´t happen...
+Lizardman Don't miss her too much Lizard dude. Find someone who can appreciate you. Or that you can appreciate.
Year later, I still come back to this song. Not only do I hear it but I FEEL it. It just hits me deep in my soul. Best FF song of all time.
MAGNIFIQUE !!! que d'émotions dans ce morceaux, merci pour le partage.
I have to say that as a kid I was never a fan of this song, but with this version being more powerful than the original, I absolutely love it. Fantastic job my friend.
...This song was playing in my head during the "Samurai Jack" finale. ;_;
My heart, really wasn't planning on staving off an ugly cry at my desk this morning.
Jesus some of you people can be so fucking overdramatic.
Ah, finally a good rendition. ;; My favorite track from the game.
Wow... You just touched my heart!! :D Amazing!!
it just game but it teaching me what is love
I don't know what's worse. Celes knowing that Rachel will always have a special place in Locke's heart and loves him more than anyone, or breaking Locke's heart as he helplessly watches Rachel leaving him a second time
Beautiful. Great job.
Square Enix should hire you.
You did a great job!
Holy Jesus this just hits so strong.
Eternally powerful music! Even I have an eternal vow to Rachel and Ive never even met her. ;P
More beautiful music to walk around campus with :) thanks sschafi1 for making those morning classes bearable.
who the hell dislike this. seriously
Kefka
Rachel's father
Ultros
People crying so hard that failed to click the like button, because tears don't let them see well.
People who called Locke a thief.
この曲がずっと好きでした。そして一番好きなFFがⅥです。
Damn. Excellent combination of samples here. It works really well.
I wrote some crappy lyrics to this song for fun.
All we truly know is pure
Only sorrow is assured
All our follies must endure for love’s sake…
hearts can’t wake.
Fate….must have dulled…its blade to grow my flower. My quiet ode… our final hour…..
Vast are chasms of regret
Pain and doom our hopes beget
Chase the moon as the sun sets
But my soul….can’t forget
Love makes a man…. or breaks the weak and hateful I’ll never fail….forever rachel.
I'm just....gonna go over there...and...yeah...T_T
2:23 nope, just moisturizing my beard with my eyes
Nice :,)
감사합니다
良い曲ですよね。
Beauteous.
What's your opinion about FF7 remake
:'(
I never thought KEFKA had a heart! Haha! :-p
kirk balicanta But but... That scene actually had me in tears :(
Hahaha! It got me too!
+Kefka Palazzo Dry the Croc Tears, Keffles.
+kirk balicanta
Got it! This is what Kefka posted before his Magitek Implantment!
Hi, is there a HQ verion of audio version for me to download? thanks at all!
Not yet. I still have to finish the second disc, then it will be released on Loudr, iTunes, etc.
+sschafi1 you did this?
Was Locke really in love with Celes? Or was it just his way of displacing the pain he felt for Rachel?
Lilligant Poor Locke :(
Alti i feel more sorry for poor Celes. She only wanted to be trully loved. Locke's real love was always Rachel.
Lilligant its seems that every single character has some problem in FF6 and there all sad
Locke loved Celes , but in his heart Rachel was truly the one.
Brian nooo
Poor Brian...
I was raised on ff7, this is so much better, so sad though
