I am the one known as Ultima... Forged an eternity ago and left here... Forgotten in the mists of time... Long have I pondered what I should do... Long, long have I pondered... But now it seems I have an answer... "I am Atma. I am pure energy and as ancient as the cosmos. Feeble creatures, die!"
My name is Ultima. I am power both ancient and unrivaled. I do not bleed, for I am but strength given form. Feeble creatures of flesh. Your time is nigh!
mr. blank 1000 needle thrust *tee hee game joke again, try and guess* oh also ultima the spell of neutrality, no AFFINITY EVER! I think, never remember if ultima ability was added in ff but thought it was. *I like ultima as the idea of non-affinity spell*
This isn't exactly a hot take. This was absolute peak Nobou. I *slightly* prefer the FF8 soundtrack, but everything from 3-10 is fucking gold. Every game has at least several piece of music that are legendary.
I'm not one for comment necromancy, but I've got to say this is a breath of fresh air in comparison to all of the 'arrangements' of this song out there that just regurgitate the same parts down to the note, but with different sound samples. A little bit of variation can go a long way, and I appreciate it!
DUDE! Your FFVI stuff is too good! That Terra's theme acoustic bit at the end of here was pretty sweet too! Really love your Decisive Battle cover, especially how you doubled the repetitions for the fast part. I may have to copy that when I play it on keyboard :P Keep it up! Really enjoying your videos. You and fhatsk8er are my two favourite youtube video game music subscriptions!
Every song Atma covers just makes me adore him even more, i've been listening to you since 2011 or something and you never stop to suprise me. Whatever you do man, don't stop. Have a nice birthday and shine big on #100 we are counting on you!!
The fact that you had the nerve to tackle this monster of a track is reason enough to respect you. but to also seamlessly slide in the escape theme as well, proves that you are a cut above so many others. Well done.
This is one of the most accurate recapturing of the sound and feel of the original piece I've heard. Better than most official orchestrations, which often lack a certain amount of energy and punch. I applaud you.
Holy shit. You've actually covered the most intense FF battle-music of all time to perfection. Your talents are unrivaled, as this will be in my playlist for decades to come. Thank you so much for the content.
Oh my God, how did I miss this one? I LOVE this battle theme in FF6, easily one of my favorite tracks in an already amazing OST. ♥ Another incredible cover, keep it up!
I don't have words!... I'm a little upset at myself for not finding this sooner! @ 1:30 I cried a little then rewound and listened to it 5 more times! You didn't take away from the original melody but enhanced it so beautifully! This is by far the best version of this! Then the little bonus "Unforgivable" at 1:50 was a pleasantly unexpected surprise! This was a blessing bro! Thank you.
This is why I have mad respect for musicial homage makers on any content creation platform. You have literally built your passions and careers on the mantra of "I want to do what the fans want so much!" Because you confidently have faith they share your passions and joys to know their stuff and help you branch out in your talents and push you further on your limits. tl;dr Music Maker Channels love their fans.
I already wished you it on facebook but hey, happy birthday again! :3 This cover was fucking greeeaaat! The bit I usually dislike in most other covers is the main melody line in the sort of 'chorus' phrase, people usually just don't get the really dark and foreboding feeling right. The original is so back-against-the-wall and you really nailed it. Goddamn though Jonny, your drumming is getting fucking crazy good. Some of those fills were straight ridiculous. ps: im on de yuutuub
First encounter i had against Atma Weapon occoured back in 1999 and started at 16:00pm. i got it down at like 19:00.... it raped me over and over.... *-* good old games
Vinicius Machado The whole f'ing floating continent was absolute murder if you didn't power level! It took me forever to get through it the first time. Then when I got to Atma I just got wrecked repeatedly. Considering I was like 10 years old though. xD
No way! A few hours ago I was listening to your FF Battle Medley and thought to myself "Maybe he put the Battle to the Death theme somewhere between the battle themes...". I go to sleep, and when I come back I see this on my feed, wow. It's not my birthday but I feel like it is :)
"I am Atma. I am pure energy and as ancient as the cosmos. Feeble creatures, flee if you wish to survive!" @Johnnyatma Maaaan! This was epic! My favorite if not the best Boss fight music I wish they used it more often in square enix titles. I highly request please next cover Suikoden 2 Neclord's boss fight theme.
I love this song and all your works, but I find myself more often than I would like to admit listening to the last little snippet of this video where you play Terra's theme. I would love to see an extended version of that. Also, your version of Dancing Mad is the greatest ever made
Best cover of this song I've heard! Also this and Chrono Trigger are the my all time favorite OST's, doesn't matter how many times I listen, pure ecstasy each time.
Spot on! Epic! and Incredible! I also love every rendition of song played at the end of all of your FF6 tracks. Would love to hear full versions of those tracks, or the entire OST!
This is the best cover of the Atma Weapon theme that I've ever heard, and your video game themes are easily among the best on youtube. You do a really good job of keeping the heart of the piece intact while adding little things that really add to the feel. p.s. I think that one of the notes you play on the synth right at 0:52 isn't correct...maybe that was on purpose?
Absolutely amazing. Mind = Blown. You should totally take on Gear Getaway from DKC (Donkey Kong Country) Returns. It would be amazing :P Also, there's part of this I swear I can hear part of the theme from Phantom of the Opera, for any people who like musical out there xD
I'd vote Johnny Atma for Square Enix's next audio coordinator. Seriously that was a lot better than what they've been putting out. Keep it up man you're a pro at this.
Best videos ever, especially after puffing on the bowl and hitting the hot jacuzzi 🤘makes me feel 12 again, but a badass 12 from listening to this! You are the shit!
Hey Jonny, I have a song request. Could you please do Shadow Showdown (the final boss theme) from Drawn to Life? The song is really great, but I think it could be better with a little Atma help. I thank you for taking time out of your day to read my request even if you don't do the song.
Bro, can you do Carpaccio's Battle Theme from Wario: Master of Disguise? It's like one of the best battle themes I've heard. If not, I'll still happy if you do: Alm Map 1, Master Porky's Theme, Gaur Plain, Id Purpose, Terrormisu, X-Naut Base, Gruntilda's Battle Theme, or the Cipher Peon Battle Theme.
My brain has gathered the songs of awesomeness. One must be chosen for 100. Ballad of the Goddess- Zelda: Skyward Sword Sonic Boom- Sonic CD Strike the Earth- Shovel Knight Spark Man- Mega Man 3 Elite 4 Theme- Pokemon X/Y Ice Cap Zone- Sonic 3 Wrapped in Black- Sonic Rush
Someone needs to port these games onto a modern console (don't need to touch the games themselves at all) and then replace all of the music with these epic remixes.
Other idea: you did all of Mario RPG's soundtrack for Song #51. Is there another full soundtrack you'd want to undertake? I would say FFVI if it wasn't like 3 hours long. That'd be a good 100th song idea, if not Blast from the Past 2
I am the one known as Ultima... Forged an eternity ago and left here... Forgotten in the mists of time... Long have I pondered what I should do... Long, long have I pondered... But now it seems I have an answer...
"I am Atma. I am pure energy and as ancient as the cosmos. Feeble creatures, die!"
My name is Ultima.
I am power both ancient and unrivaled.
I do not bleed, for I am but strength given form.
Feeble creatures of flesh.
Your time is nigh!
Ticklezcat heh the ultima weapon from Kingdom Hearts I see what you did there
It's name really is Ultima
1000 Needles
mr. blank 1000 needle thrust *tee hee game joke again, try and guess* oh also ultima the spell of neutrality, no AFFINITY EVER! I think, never remember if ultima ability was added in ff but thought it was. *I like ultima as the idea of non-affinity spell*
He will always be Atma to me.
Final Fantasy 6: a game so legendary, its music sparks covers and remixes that transcend time and space.
Well, it aint Final Fantasy music's-man Nobuo Uematsu favorite creation for no reason.
@@andrealves3104 Though my first RPG game was Mystic Quest, the most memorable is FF3. Tactics, FFV & FF 7 came later.
VI might have my favorite soundtrack out of any FF game.
Certainly has mine to this day, not counting BD. Counting it’s tied.
It’s my favourite soundtrack hands down
This isn't exactly a hot take. This was absolute peak Nobou.
I *slightly* prefer the FF8 soundtrack, but everything from 3-10 is fucking gold. Every game has at least several piece of music that are legendary.
Yes it has some tier S tracks.
To me FF6 is the best of all time for video games especially the music.
I'm not one for comment necromancy, but I've got to say this is a breath of fresh air in comparison to all of the 'arrangements' of this song out there that just regurgitate the same parts down to the note, but with different sound samples. A little bit of variation can go a long way, and I appreciate it!
DUDE! Your FFVI stuff is too good! That Terra's theme acoustic bit at the end of here was pretty sweet too! Really love your Decisive Battle cover, especially how you doubled the repetitions for the fast part. I may have to copy that when I play it on keyboard :P
Keep it up! Really enjoying your videos. You and fhatsk8er are my two favourite youtube video game music subscriptions!
I should have named myself terra branford lol
Hows the legenday thie-... I MEAN ADVENTURER doing? heheh
The question is, did you manage to get the Ribbon from the boss?
Not even the phoenix could save her. Your life must suck
Every song Atma covers just makes me adore him even more, i've been listening to you since 2011 or something and you never stop to suprise me. Whatever you do man, don't stop. Have a nice birthday and shine big on #100 we are counting on you!!
The fact that you had the nerve to tackle this monster of a track is reason enough to respect you. but to also seamlessly slide in the escape theme as well, proves that you are a cut above so many others.
Well done.
Bought this jam on apple tunes. Keep up the good work. 😊✅
This is one of the most accurate recapturing of the sound and feel of the original piece I've heard. Better than most official orchestrations, which often lack a certain amount of energy and punch.
I applaud you.
Holy shit.
You've actually covered the most intense FF battle-music of all time to perfection. Your talents are unrivaled, as this will be in my playlist for decades to come. Thank you so much for the content.
My childhood + Full epicness = This song
Oh my God, how did I miss this one? I LOVE this battle theme in FF6, easily one of my favorite tracks in an already amazing OST. ♥ Another incredible cover, keep it up!
The freaking keys in the song are absolutely some of the best in the entirety of the musical world. Great work my guy.
I don't have words!... I'm a little upset at myself for not finding this sooner! @ 1:30 I cried a little then rewound and listened to it 5 more times! You didn't take away from the original melody but enhanced it so beautifully! This is by far the best version of this! Then the little bonus "Unforgivable" at 1:50 was a pleasantly unexpected surprise! This was a blessing bro! Thank you.
Best reverse birthday present!
Glad to see FF VI getting some love. To me, it remains the best FF up to this day.
You have done this great song justice in heavy glorious metal. The occasional reverb crank for the cathedral-esque Dancing Mad feel was perfect.
This is why I have mad respect for musicial homage makers on any content creation platform. You have literally built your passions and careers on the mantra of "I want to do what the fans want so much!" Because you confidently have faith they share your passions and joys to know their stuff and help you branch out in your talents and push you further on your limits.
tl;dr Music Maker Channels love their fans.
Oh my god that Tera's theme at the end sent chills down my spine, that is such a beautiful song
the rest was really badass too lol
I already wished you it on facebook but hey, happy birthday again! :3
This cover was fucking greeeaaat! The bit I usually dislike in most other covers is the main melody line in the sort of 'chorus' phrase, people usually just don't get the really dark and foreboding feeling right.

ps: im on de yuutuub
One of my all-time favorite video game songs. Well done, as always!
First encounter i had against Atma Weapon occoured back in 1999 and started at 16:00pm. i got it down at like 19:00.... it raped me over and over.... *-* good old games
Vinicius Machado The whole f'ing floating continent was absolute murder if you didn't power level! It took me forever to get through it the first time. Then when I got to Atma I just got wrecked repeatedly.
Considering I was like 10 years old though. xD
Jonny Atma Who else here didn't make it off the island at the right time the first few goes?
+Jonny Atma I was in middle school. floating continent wasn't THAT bad. then again, I was conditioned to level up early by previous ff games.
+travis castillo IF YOU'RE NOT LEVEL 8 BEFORE YOU FIGHT GARLAND IN FINAL FANTASY 1 YOU DON'T GRIND ENOUGH
And then comes that moment when you find out Reflect Rings will neutralize most of his attacks. Yeah...
No way! A few hours ago I was listening to your FF Battle Medley and thought to myself "Maybe he put the Battle to the Death theme somewhere between the battle themes...". I go to sleep, and when I come back I see this on my feed, wow. It's not my birthday but I feel like it is :)
Happy birthday. I think I speK for all of us when I say: Never stop doing what you love because is something we love to.
"I am Atma. I am pure energy and as ancient as the cosmos. Feeble creatures, flee if you wish to survive!"
@Johnnyatma Maaaan! This was epic! My favorite if not the best Boss fight music I wish they used it more often in square enix titles. I highly request please next cover Suikoden 2 Neclord's boss fight theme.
Happy Birthday GaMetal! Awesome cover as always
it will always be ATMA Weapon to the orignal Snes players
Happy Birthday Mr.Atma, thanks always for your amazing covers and renditions of vg songs :D
a cover as fierce as the battle itself!
Holy crap, this is amazing! I'm just discovering this channel and I'm blown away! Keep it up!!
One of the better melodies in the entire franchise. Very well done, and happy birthday Jonny. Very close to my own.
man, I've been drifting through your videos from 2 days and everything I found is awesome.
now THIS is a remix I saw coming of all themes from the game from many years away
I love this song and all your works, but I find myself more often than I would like to admit listening to the last little snippet of this video where you play Terra's theme. I would love to see an extended version of that. Also, your version of Dancing Mad is the greatest ever made
Another very nice work on an emblematic FF track, perfect link with The Unforgiven
Yes! So glad I found this! Perfect music for writing battles scenes.
Best cover of this song I've heard! Also this and Chrono Trigger are the my all time favorite OST's, doesn't matter how many times I listen, pure ecstasy each time.
Amazing. One of main reasons why i love youtube. This kinda of talent needs to be known.
Happy birthday jonny!
Another incredible cover, amazing work yet again! Fantastic work!
Excellent cover, and Happy Birthday, sir.
johnny, final fantasy xiv has this song too in one of their newer patches :3 check sephirot theme and the 2nd phase one too .
This absolutely rocks!
Awesome happy birthday
Well, I'm a year late, but i would love extended versions of the acoustic shorts of Terra's theme or Venus lighthouse
Spot on! Epic! and Incredible! I also love every rendition of song played at the end of all of your FF6 tracks. Would love to hear full versions of those tracks, or the entire OST!
This is the best cover of the Atma Weapon theme that I've ever heard, and your video game themes are easily among the best on youtube. You do a really good job of keeping the heart of the piece intact while adding little things that really add to the feel.
p.s. I think that one of the notes you play on the synth right at 0:52 isn't correct...maybe that was on purpose?
Happy birthday! That acoustic Terra ending was beautiful.
love your tones on this! guitar, drums, and bass sit very nicely in the mix! good job man.
Absolutely amazing. Mind = Blown. You should totally take on Gear Getaway from DKC (Donkey Kong Country) Returns. It would be amazing :P
Also, there's part of this I swear I can hear part of the theme from Phantom of the Opera, for any people who like musical out there xD
And Happy Birthday!
Congrats on turning 107! ;) Great song as usual.
You ROCK, man. My thumbs up.
Do Primal Dialga from PMD2 :)
Or maybe Id(Purpose)From Fire Emblem
The Former already happened.
Well, Happy Birthday and keep being awesome! :3
Happy birthday Johnny !!!!!!
It would be freaking sweet to hear a Fighting of the Spirit or maybe The End of a Thought cover from you.
Also, happy birthday!
Are you gonna do some more FFVII, VIII, IX and some other earlier FF renditions? :)
Happy Birthday
Yes! Epicness!!! My most favorite boss battle from FFVI!
Hey think you can do "Battle for Everyone's Souls" from Persona 3?
happy birthday mr. atma! Do you have something special in mind for the 100th song? I hope i'll get an YS song in august for my birthday, haha
gigaganon YS all the way yeah! Also happy birthday atma!
I'd lo-lo-lo-loooooove~ to hear you do Etrian Odyssey III's The End Of Raging Waves
btw happy birthday! :DD
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUDE!!!!!!! :))
happy birthday, like one hundred :D excelent as always :)
I'd vote Johnny Atma for Square Enix's next audio coordinator. Seriously that was a lot better than what they've been putting out. Keep it up man you're a pro at this.
Omg ! This is what i'vd been waiting for!
Happy birthday! Also the remix was kickass, as usual of course.
Happy-Bday
Hoping #100 is Blast from the Past 2 but I'll take anything. This was the perfect choice for Song #99 tho. Incredible job!
Amazing... Happy birthday! o/
I just got such fierce goosebumps that I sprouted wings.
First comment on the vid was me! Thanks Jonny Atma !
1:50 sick transition
Best videos ever, especially after puffing on the bowl and hitting the hot jacuzzi 🤘makes me feel 12 again, but a badass 12 from listening to this! You are the shit!
Happy Birthday!!!
Aghhh, you keep coming out with songs I love! I don't know how to handle all this awesomeness. ; w;
Hey Jonny, I have a song request. Could you please do Shadow Showdown (the final boss theme) from Drawn to Life? The song is really great, but I think it could be better with a little Atma help. I thank you for taking time out of your day to read my request even if you don't do the song.
MegaLegoKing1 I second this motion
MegaLegoKing1 I would like this as well
+MegaLegoKing1 I fourth this.
I fifth
Bro, can you do Carpaccio's Battle Theme from Wario: Master of Disguise? It's like one of the best battle themes I've heard. If not, I'll still happy if you do:
Alm Map 1, Master Porky's Theme, Gaur Plain, Id Purpose, Terrormisu, X-Naut Base, Gruntilda's Battle Theme, or the Cipher Peon Battle Theme.
Happy birthday!!
Awesome.
Happy birthday man!
Happy Birthday dude
been a fan of yours for a long time on newgrounds. awesome as always. subbed
Happy belated birthday!
Also, I like this song. It's very impressive.
Again and again ... masterpiece \m/
I like your covers
my entire childhood made to my adult music, like and follow had been achieved
My brain has gathered the songs of awesomeness. One must be chosen for 100.
Ballad of the Goddess- Zelda: Skyward Sword
Sonic Boom- Sonic CD
Strike the Earth- Shovel Knight
Spark Man- Mega Man 3
Elite 4 Theme- Pokemon X/Y
Ice Cap Zone- Sonic 3
Wrapped in Black- Sonic Rush
Happy birthday, Jonny! I fell bad for asking a song in your birthday, but can you do Zanza from Xenoblade Chronicles?
Fighting the Goddess... It was so intense and epic! I love this song!
(Also, I'm sorry I'm late, but happy birthday man!)
Someone needs to port these games onto a modern console (don't need to touch the games themselves at all) and then replace all of the music with these epic remixes.
Other idea: you did all of Mario RPG's soundtrack for Song #51. Is there another full soundtrack you'd want to undertake? I would say FFVI if it wasn't like 3 hours long. That'd be a good 100th song idea, if not Blast from the Past 2
This is perfect.
Happy belated Birthday! :)
Don't forget to wait for Shadow!!!!
you remind me of every single member of dream theater...but in one body..........anyways happy birthday dude! :D
Two songs for the price of one!
for the 100th theme do adventure's end. that would be special :D
and if not that then C.R.O.W.N.E.D should do it too...
Søren Moesgaard yes a crowned cover would be epic
Dovah Chief what?
Søren Moesgaard i was agreeing with your idea of him playing crowned
Søren Moesgaard Agreed totes want.
Søren Moesgaard Kirby returns to dreamland, final boss. It's very epic.
Also happy birthday!!🎉🎊🎂
