One of the things that I love most about your covers is that you keep the core of the song, you keep its *identity* and work around it-you don't add shitty guitar solos or verses that no one ever wants to hear. You understand that the original is absolutely fine the way it is (which is what a lot of artists don't understand), and you only enhance it from there by adding badass rhythm guitars, drums, etc. that DOESN'T detract from its individuality. It genuinely frustrates me that you don't have millions of subscribers. Your work is fucking incredible and we honestly don't deserve you lol EDIT: As an added detail, you keeping the original FFVII-esque synth, meshed with metal elements, makes it sound so incredibly authentic. My hat's off to you, man
Haha, thanks, mate! I couldn't rephrase it better! I always try my best to preserve the original feel (unless I feel like destroying the track, cuz, y'know, sometimes you need that in your life) and/or use similar instruments (which can be kinda challenging) And yeah, the track I put my hands on is usually something I've been digging for years, because of how great music piece it is, so I work hard not to lose what author meant (or at least I try to show it in a different light that I think suits it as well - don't confuse it with "trying to improve it" since that's not the point, and I really don't like those "better/worse than original" comments lol) (everytime someone writes "I really hate the original, but your version is lit", I'm like - what the fuck lmao that's the same shit ) As for solos, well, to be honest, most metal guitar solos I heard over the years can be written by a basic RNG over the scale and note value, so it was never my thing lol Even though I often add a background piano line(s), or an extra melody, in general, I keep the structure the way it was
I'm not discrediting this song, as it is one of my favorites...but Nexus, it's ok to add some extra things in here. Otherwise we'd have 20 different rock/metal remakes that all sound the same. It doesn't hurt to add a lil extra to make it your own. That's the great thing about music. Don't be too close minded.
@@chazsims2565 Well FF7 fans can be... very demanding when it comes to their paticular childhood treasure called FFVII. No matter how good a remix of a FF7 score might be, if it doesn't trigger those nostalgia switches then it simply won't do anything for them, and they'll move on feeling let down. Remember, this isn't just your average level of nostalgia we're talking about here. This is *FFVII* nostalgia. This game is a goddamn religion to some people, myself included. And for that matter, i'm feeling rather pissed. Because of the fact that no FFVII boss theme Square Enix could put out for the remake could possibly compare to this work of art. This is *exactly* what i imagined this track sounding like with modern instruments back when FFVII came out. If i knew how i would just replace the official remake boss theme with this on my own copy.
In 30 years of RPG gamming, both making and actually beating, I think this theme is the most epic and inspirational of all I have heard and you have done it great justice, sir.
Metal. It is firm, solid, rigid, unmoving. In order for metal to become what someone envisions, it is subjected to blazing heat, extreme force, and suffers the fall of a hammer repeatedly. But in time, its shape changes. It begins to change form... But it remains metal. In the end, all you have done is shape something that has not changed... Into something that can destroy you. THAT is metal. It will change form. But its essence... remains. Falkkone takes that essence... and STRENGTHENS it. He takes metal and tempers it. Making it stronger than it was. A perfect blending of music and metal to create... Symphonic Metal. Singing metal... otherwise known as... ORICHALCUM.
or you could be a good person and support him. kind of a scumbag move to say. "I would support ya. but the music isnt good enough" either do or dont. there is no middle ground
This one is your best cover in my opinion, bravo FalKKonE ; this song makes me break the limit (with a big "thrill") ;) literally transcending ! Thank you !
I'm surprised that with all the pokémon covers you've done, you still haven't covered the red/blue/yellow gym battle theme. All things aside, this is an amazing track, and will make a great addition to my ever-growing collection.
Do you have a Bandcamp!? I’d love to see your “Final Fantasy VII” remixes on there if it was at all possible man!!! This is such a badass Metal cover of an iconic “FF7” Battle track man!!! Well done!!! Keep on rocking!!! Hell yeah!!!🤘🏻 Distant Memories 1996 Official Horror Writer and Librarian for the ROE
dam yeah, even added to the tracks as arranged so that if you start getting a bit used to the ost, you could switch up to the arranged, like in the original soul blade for ps1
Sergei Gaylord- Lord of the Gay legion Ur gay Ooh wait nevermind its in your name XD (Jk i was just making fun of people who allways trolls people by saying that word)
This Dolphin Blow’s my mind, the utter Chaos is giving me a Lunatic High, it fills every Slots in my heart and soul! You’re bringing out the Big Guns with this beauty, and like Greased Lightning this Highwind song of the One-Winged Angels will hit you harder than Omnislash, making you beg for Salvation. This truly is the Penultimate of Fantasy songs, truly an Ultima Weapon that will strike with the force of a Meteor.
Nothing is more metal than a gal punching a giant death robot in the face! Or- Whatever it has for a face. And losing an arm to replace it with a kickass gun? That's metal as hell! And dashing at enemies with a sword almost as large as your entire body? That's definitely metal.
Ultimalice Im still surprised there are soo many Behemoth version and how they can learn soo many spells They can learn 3 elemental magic spells(Blizzard, Thunder/Bolt, Fire until its Ga/level 3 strength), Meteor, Sleep(A special move learned by Intangir a blue Behemoth from FF6 it act like both sleep and vanish) and my favorite of them all The move ???? From FF7....... yes it can learn ???? THATS THE SPELL NAME!!!!!
When you are playing a survival game and you start hearing this... (actually the first time I heard this theme was in gmod zombie survival, for being the last man standing)
☆go1☯ Ooooh, sugoiii ! I've watched so much anime over the years but I gotta admit I don't know a few of the ones you just listed ! Lately I've been more interested in japanese character-driven games to be honest, like the Persona series, or even the Yakuza series. They're like anime (especially Persona) but in video game form and it's so fucking good ! You should really it give it a shot if you can, definitely worth it dude. Persona is love
☆go1☯ Oh yeah dude, Persona's huge ! Persona 5 quickly became my favorite game of all time, I was OBSESSED with it (Still kind of am haha !). Like I legit cried at least twice while playing it for the first time because I got so into these characters and their stories, y'know ? I'm currently playing Persona 4 at the moment, and it's super good too ! If you like RPGs with great characters (and the music, universe, art style and everything else is hella good too !), you'll definitely love the Persona games. Especially if you're into the japanese culture and stuff ;) Duuuude... You just sent me on a nostalgia trip ! I remember watching Black Rock Shooter (the anime haha) YEAAAARS ago when it first came out and it blew my mind ! I kinda wanna play the game now 🤣 I've heard a lot about Shining Resonance and I'm super interested in checking it out ! I'll check out your other games too ;)
I'd like to say I've been buying a diverse collection of music lately, but no it's mostly been your albums. Here another reason to give you more money.
We're achieving levels of metal that shouldn't even be possible. This metal is so dense, limits are broken and black holes are formed. How's that for a Limit Break? You create a ball of metal so dense it turns into a black hole that sucks enemies in, only to run out of energy and explode. This is actually scientifically accurate: at the end of it's lifespan, a black hole will release all of its mass in a powerful explosion. Imagine creating small black holes to use the explosion as a weapon, an explosion that makes the Tsar Bomba a mere firework.
I believe this is a tie between your version and Enrico Deiana's. I ❤'d it nonetheless. Especially that small touch at the end of the piano after all the madness had ensued.
1:03 I know you're trying to make tasteful music but I would have tuned up the guitar in this one part and played it yourself at least that's just one man's opinion. I think you would have only sounded more badass
You fool. Are you trying to kill us all? Trying to fit any more badass into this track will shatter the laws of our reality, opening up a black hole the size of earth.
still more intense symphonic metal covers
FalKKonE boss cyrus theme
FalKKonE this fucking works and it's fucking awesome
FalKKonE bro you should make the Kim Possible theme, that would be legit
How 'bout final fantasy main theme?
I know you have lots of songs planned already but man, Final Fantasy XV- Hellfire would be so amazing to hear you cover
There's a limit to how metal a track should be. But then again, *Limits are meant to be broken.*
Genkairokairou
I could make a really good joke that's breaking the limits on what a joke actually is... *X/*
LIMIT BREAK!!!
Genkai wo Koeru!

Metal was meant to be broken.

It can't be broken. Only forged with *MORE METAL.*

@@ariajohnson8107 allow me to ask permission...
To make your words , mines
YOU DID NOT.
DAMN, HE DID.
This is the cover I've looked for so long to find, and finally, I may headbang to true greatness.
The two greatest things in the universe, united as one! Symphonic Metal and Final Fantasy! I think I'm in love...
Someone stop this madman! If he keeps going and making my favorite video game OSTs even better, I may have to start sending money his way!
Seriously though Falkkone, this is fire. Great work buddy!
Do it. Do it do it do it!

For the last 2 days I've listened mostly to metal covers of this song, and now you upload this! I love this song and your version! 😍
A thing of real beauty, thanks for creating this masterful interpretation.
Man 4yrs later and still fighting on
Finally back to the ff stuff. My favorite stuff from you by far.
このアレンジいいですね♫
First time witnessing Final-Fantasy metal music im blown away music is cranked up and I've been jamming to these for hours and hours
Awesome cover to a tune that I didn't think could get any cooler. Thanks for proving me wrong! Really gets me pumped up to play the remake.
I'm surprised that with all the pokémon covers you've done, you still haven't covered the red/blue/yellow gym battle theme.
All things aside, this is an amazing track, and will make a great addition to my ever-growing collection.
An already metallic song made even more metallic.
This is why I’ve been subbed for so long. Thank you FalKKonE!
Fascinating
Need more from ff vii, jenova battle theme i guess (when you battle jenova for the first time on the ship from junon to costa del sol)
this is as good as Airbuster Ver. Kudos man.
The second i play this I instantly love it
Do you have a Bandcamp!? I’d love to see your “Final Fantasy VII” remixes on there if it was at all possible man!!! This is such a badass Metal cover of an iconic “FF7” Battle track man!!! Well done!!! Keep on rocking!!! Hell yeah!!!🤘🏻

Imagine if this was put in ff7 when it comes out in march
I would say the Air-buster version of the theme does sound quite close to this!
Omg the Air buster fight was awesome in the remake!
Hey, came to these comments looking for people talking about the airbuster. Yeah, I’d say we got a pretty epic metal version in the final game :)
dam yeah, even added to the tracks as arranged so that if you start getting a bit used to the ost, you could switch up to the arranged, like in the original soul blade for ps1
Finally, i've been waiting for this song! Thx dude alwasy the best metal!
Sergei Gaylord- Lord of the Gay legion Ur gay
Ooh wait nevermind its in your name XD (Jk i was just making fun of people who allways trolls people by saying that word)
U face Gaylord, eredar lord of the burni... Gay legion!!!!
Can't believe it took you so long for this one, most intense FF ost.
"save the best for last"
or at least for the next year
FalKKonE Hell yeah!!

This made me cry... it was that beautiful to read.
climhazzard
....WHY don't you have more likes?
Dolphin Blow ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I've been waiting for so long for you to do this one! It's my 2nd favorite song from FF7.
Please, those who fight... please, we need a version of yours in our lifes
Never knew a Cloud could be so metal!
Hell YES.
Heroic best version ever
Nothing is more metal than a gal punching a giant death robot in the face! Or- Whatever it has for a face. And losing an arm to replace it with a kickass gun? That's metal as hell! And dashing at enemies with a sword almost as large as your entire body? That's definitely metal.
Excellent as per usual, but I think my favorite heavy version of this theme is the Advent Children one still.
[Just Headbanging. No Words to Say]
you are my hero. plain and simple
This will be the theme song I play when Behemoth drops in MHW come August. >:D
Ultimalice Like a meteor right?.
Ultimalice Im still surprised there are soo many Behemoth version and how they can learn soo many spells
They can learn 3 elemental magic spells(Blizzard, Thunder/Bolt, Fire until its Ga/level 3 strength), Meteor, Sleep(A special move learned by Intangir a blue Behemoth from FF6 it act like both sleep and vanish) and my favorite of them all
The move ???? From FF7....... yes it can learn ???? THATS THE SPELL NAME!!!!!
For me, it'll either be this, FF6 Decisive Battle, or FF4 boss theme. Oh look, he's done all 3 of them.
Ultimalice my thought exactly when I saw the notification for this lol
I'll be replacing the Valstrax theme for this when I face it in Gen Ultimate.
This Soundtrack should be put officially in Smash 5. It is fucking awesome.
sees thumbnail:
HELL YES
please do Stardust Speedway Bad Future
When you are playing a survival game and you start hearing this... (actually the first time I heard this theme was in gmod zombie survival, for being the last man standing)
Setting ATB to "Active" (No pause when selecting commands) and setting speed to max in the options menu: Those who fight further!
Great cover, but i cant help but see lack of metal gear in your playlist...
Can i humbly request Yell "Dead Cell" ?
I think you'll have fun with it😉
Really nice! Could you try doing the same with the remake version? :)
awesome as ever
I need to figure out how I can hack this version of the song into my PC copy of the game.
☆go1☯ Thanks dude, I'll try that for myself too ! Although I gotta say, it'd be more like "FAITO THE BOSSUFAITO" haha :p
☆go1☯ Mmmmh... Try watching: Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls In a Dungeon ? (I don't remember the japanese name haha), see if you like it !

It would really be sick to hear you do something from Castlevania Symphony Of The Night
This sounds amazing!
That is awesome!
I'd like to say I've been buying a diverse collection of music lately, but no it's mostly been your albums. Here another reason to give you more money.
If you haven't definitely need to do the bombing mission or the battle arena themes... maybe even the one for the Weapons when they first appear
Btw, Enix needs to use this for the remake....
just saying
I would WANT TO SEE ALOT OF METAL COVERS FOR THE REMAKES ESPECIALLY FF6
DarkFrozenDepths Imo the remake version is better than this, like both though
Absolutely
Absolutely incredible.
Hm, think you could try out Forest of the Red Witch boss bgm or any other bgm from dfo (dungeon fighter online) when you can that is?
SOOOOO AWESOOOMEEEE
so cooooooool
when a boss hears this song they know they will either
A) destroy this guy and his party
B) get destroyed
C) get an omnislash to the face
This is awesome.
Hey very good remaster xD why not send it to SQUEX for the ffVII HD remake battle song xD let's rock ;)
Amazing

metroid prime 1 main theme pls, thx :>
