    To what corners of the world have you travelled?
    My dear Fratley...
    I climbed the highest mountains only to hear rumours of your victories...
    I searched the deepest valleys only to find your footsteps.
    But I never found you. And in the end, I heard something...
    something unbearable!"

    When I was young, I loved Freya because she seemed so cool.
    Playing it again now I love her strength in facing tragic circumstances and I really wish we could have seen more development in her story in the last chapters of the game.
    Great version

      At least she's still the best damage dealer early in the game. (Gets her Ultimate Weapon in Disk Three, and has an attack that guarantees 9999 damage before that.)

    I feel like this version really emphasizes further what a genuine war hero Freya is, and at such a young age too. And let's always appreciate her unbelievable emotional strength too--she went through so much that would break just about anyone, and even when the worst of it hit her, she kept going.
    Freya is absolutely perfect in so many ways and I refuse to hear otherwise.

    Hi! I am making a Final Fantasy 9 mod, and I would like to use some of your arrangements, like this one of Freya which would fit perfectly for my game. In your information section you explain that these tracks can be used as long as it is not for commercial use, which is my case. So, I assume it is ok to you, right? Do you have a website to download it, apart from the links you provided? Google Play seems to be broken. Thanks!

  • @ItsJustaMeNow
