For me, this song encapsulates exactly why metal and classical music are so close to each other and why they work so well together. Masterpiece of a song. Uemartsu, a true genius.
i might be wrong, but isn't that contrary to the premise of Metal, of screaming instead of singing, breaking instead of harmony? wasn't it made to go against the thought of music as it was?
I love this version because Nobuo Uematsu said his ideal version of this theme is his rock band + a full live orchestra. I like to imagine this is what he imagined when he wrote this for the PlayStation c:
So the Original creator of Final Fantasy, Hironobu Sakaguchi thought the original Final Fantasy would be the last game the company he worked for called Square Soft would ever develop as they were on the verge of bankruptcy. So he named the game Final Fantasy. The name is somewhat of an oxymoron now because it would be anything but Final.
@thewindmillfullovcorpses This story isn't actually true, but was an urban legend made by the fans. The Japanese developers just wanted to make a trendy double acronym for their brand about deep and thoughtful fantasies. They were financially fine; just wanted a change it up and make a frachise that they could shake it up, experiment and be creative with. It made history from there.
6:09 for explanation, this hardcore bit right here… this is when Sephiroth is destroying the building Cloud is climbing the side of to reach him and this plays as Cloud is cutting through the rubble like butter.
He (cloud) is the main character of final fantasy VII. Basically most of the themes in the game are his. But I’d listen to Midgar, City of Mako. It’s from final fantasy VII remake.
@@thewindmillfullovcorpsesThis ost comes from the Advent children movie, it would be an opportunity for you to form an opinion of the character. You should definitely watch it even in 2024, it’s still a very good movie!
fun fact the name final fantasy was used beacause it was when square enix the company behind ff was almost bankrupt. They used their last budged they had for final fantasy 1 which had succes and saved the company. Then it was made a game series with 16 main games now and many side story games and content
Oooh, I knew y'all were in for a ride as soon as I saw the title. I went back to watch your first video on One-Winged Angel to get a feel on how this one would go. I'm glad I did. Always nice to see Couscous again, even if he's covered by the video for most of it lol. Also, never change Andrei. 😂 Nothing wrong with having a mancrush on Nobuo.
Hey I don't have a mancrush on Nobuo! Only on his music! I can tell you who I have a mancrush on! Devin Townsend, Chris Dovas, Teemu Mantysaari and everyone in Persefone! Glad you enjoyed the vid! This song was insane! /Andrei
We have DOOM, Killer Instinct, Call of Duty, Guilty Gear, Metal: Hellsinger and now a bit of FF too, feel free to check it out! Thanks a gallon for the sub! / George
As a lover of Metallica, I will put this song up against anything they have ever recorded. Master of Puppets is the only thing that comes close IMO, and I think this blows it out of the water.
Ya’ll reacted how I reacted as a kid ^__^ no better way to react honestly, this is peak music and one of the best characters to ever exist! You guys are awesome 🤙
Im a twin and the dynamics were fun to see! I have debates like this with my sister on if Advent Children or FF7 Rebirth has the superior FF7 soundtrack. This version of OWA hits hard.
Ok so it's called final fantasy because the developer was putting out games that kept flopping. So he called it final fantasy because it was his final attempt to make a successful game and then the name stuck
"Final Fantasy" is about the story of that particular game. It's not for the fans or gamers. For instance. Final Fantasy 10 at the end of that game is the Final Fantasy of Yuna and Tidus.
Understand that they have a ton of ppl requesting songs for them to react to, and they have their own stuff they want to hear as well. In channels like this, it is best to be very patient! Most reaction channels I've ever watched, aside from only 1, I have never gotten a single reaction by them of a song that I requested. These guys are better with that cuz they are more involved with their subscribers. Which is awesome! And cuz they go for the more underground bands and such. Hidden gems. Things like that. They will get to yours eventually. Just be patient. And try to put yourself in their shoes. No need to get frustrated!

You need to throw in Opera as well
I love this version because Nobuo Uematsu said his ideal version of this theme is his rock band + a full live orchestra. I like to imagine this is what he imagined when he wrote this for the PlayStation c:
It absolutely was. He said he felt the original was always lacking a little something, and rhe Metal element was what it needed.
If you're not headbanging and air guitaring through this song you're not hearing it right...oh...and with your pinky up
Classic. Amazing, isn't it? I remember listening to this together with my mother when we're were in cinema waiting for the movie to start 😊
This is for me the best version from this song

Final Fantasy really just meant final attempt to get a breakthrough, which I guess they did AND THEN SOME!!! /Andrei

@@chimerakait Interesting. Thanks for the clarification.
It was originally going to be called Fighting Fantasy but they ran into copyright trouble and changed it to Final Fantasy
Was about to say the same thing fellow retrospective friend! Good thing I am retrospective and looked to see if someone had already done so!
your reactions when the metal element kicked in.
after hearing the original it was VERY surprising
This is the most pure reaction I’ve ever seen to One Winged Angel! Rock the fuck on guys!!! 🪽
Thank you very much! This song takes the winning cake for soundtracks as far as I'm concerned. /Andrei
6:09 for explanation, this hardcore bit right here… this is when Sephiroth is destroying the building Cloud is climbing the side of to reach him and this plays as Cloud is cutting through the rubble like butter.
Wow that sounds epic. I dunno enough about the lore. Who is Cloud. Does he/she have a soundtrack as well? /Andrei

Sephiroth The greatest antagonist of all time! With the best OST 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Never played the game but can agree on the soundtrack! /Andrei

This Song is a Rollercoaster of synthony and rhythm

i swear that sounds like the universe trolling them about the game name! Turned out well tho
Sorry to be "that guy" but this has been debunked a long time ago.

4:53. He is saying this is too epic haha
jesus i didnt knew you react to videogame music too you guys get my sub now
We have DOOM, Killer Instinct, Call of Duty, Guilty Gear, Metal: Hellsinger and now a bit of FF too, feel free to check it out! Thanks a gallon for the sub! / George
Same
When you complete one of the games and youre emotionally connected to it you just get it. Fina Fantasy is sick af imo.
4:45 What is this? Like the little dogs that taxi drivers use?
Dude I'm loving the GIFs 🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
THAAANX it's intended
PLEASE make a reaction of J.E.N.O.V.A Theme of the same movie, Advent Children
It's a Masterpiece guys ❤
Thanks for the request! Hope we get to it. /Andrei
My favorite part of metal as a genre is the near ubiquitous standard that the worse it smells the better it is. For example: 2:19
EXACTLY! Cover ya noses, open yer earz!
You'll love blinded by light ,army of one ,the savior of souls, salvation fanfare, crimson blitz and lightning returns theme from lightning returns
Thank you! Wrote these down! /Andrei
Great reaction to a fantastic song! ❤️
As a lover of Metallica, I will put this song up against anything they have ever recorded. Master of Puppets is the only thing that comes close IMO, and I think this blows it out of the water.
1:00 yall are killing me
Don't die!
You really should watch the scene where this piece plays. It will blow your minds.
Now do us a favor and watch the fight this goes with. The fight, the song, and I were unreasonably hard 😂.
Ya’ll reacted how I reacted as a kid ^__^ no better way to react honestly, this is peak music and one of the best characters to ever exist!
You guys are awesome 🤙
Thank you very much! It blew my mind! /Andrei
The bass, IT IS. The mosh pig doth CONGREGATE
For in gleeful reciprocal violence we prosper!
I gotta say, the RichaadEB's metal cover of this is still my favorite one by a long shot. But this was pretty good.
We got it on the list, we shall see!
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses at this point, I think it could be any one of them that you like more tbh lol
супер классная песня 👍🤘
Lmao the Final part was just put in there cause they felt like it just sounded cool.
Nah theres a whole story behind the naming.
You love this song! I subscribe you guys!! My daddy sephiroth is forever my love🔥🔥🔥
Thank you very much! /Andrei
🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 fuck yeah my dudes.
coitus affirmative your male homo sapiens individuals
was there an 8? .... well we are up to 16 now so .. yes?
That's a lot! /Andrei
Im a twin and the dynamics were fun to see! I have debates like this with my sister on if Advent Children or FF7 Rebirth has the superior FF7 soundtrack. This version of OWA hits hard.
I'm sorry you had to go through what I did hehe!
Them: "was there a Final Fantasy 8?"
Me: No. There are 23
oh...
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses yeah, 16 main games, 4 remakes, an extension, and 3 extra games.
you guys can check zero to hero from guardians of the galaxy video game
Ok so it's called final fantasy because the developer was putting out games that kept flopping. So he called it final fantasy because it was his final attempt to make a successful game and then the name stuck
NICE!
just so you guys know the games for the most part have absolutely nothing to do with each other.
watch the history of final fantasy, youll understand after
Please check out Dancing Mad from FF6 at some point. If you like this, Dancing Mad is like the godfather of this entire soundtrack!
maybe baby!
Only theme that goes harder than Advent Children OWA is Rage of Sparta. Don't even @ me on this one.
"Final Fantasy" is about the story of that particular game. It's not for the fans or gamers. For instance. Final Fantasy 10 at the end of that game is the Final Fantasy of Yuna and Tidus.
That makes sense! Thanks for the info! /Andrei

Listen to ‘The World's Awakening’. This is the Uematsu sound.
Ok, know you really need to react to the Sonic frontiers bosses soundtrack!
Would love to see some reactions to Pentakill League of Legends band.
well we actually have one ruclips.net/video/BPOQBOiKml8/видео.html
@@thewindmillfullovcorpses Nice.
Check out imperial circus dead decadence.
Is it just me or does Dimmu Borgir need to cover one winged angel
They don't need to! We need them to!
Final fantasy came before fast and furious...
That is so not the point
@emeraldfinder5 THANK YOU! Common sensing like a CHAD!
FFX Otherworld Reaction pls. You're welcome.
The first final fantasy, the company is about to bankruptcy, so for their final game, they name it final fantasy, and it blows..
That is an awesome success story! /Andrei

Ou have no taste.
Make a reaction to Mechina or Neurotech already😡🤨
Mechina is down the pipeline, relax! =D / George
