Came to the comments to see if this music hit others as hard as me. Wasn’t disappointed. This game was maybe the best I ever played. The soundtrack was perfection.
I like to listen to this music when walking through the corridors of my university campus, it gives me the feeling that everything will be alright and I will be able to make it through even the hardest of times
@@JDubDotEXE Shiiiit, I'm playing it...again... now, and if you don't have 100 tornados, quakes, and meltdowns to junction by the time you hit Galbadia Garden, you've done something wrong.
Like everyone, i miss my childhood. So carefree, able to just get lost in a game. I am also grateful to grow up in a time when games like these came out. There are so many games out now, no one plays the same game anymore, its hard to connect.
This is a lifesaver for studying. I chew through so much video game music to focus and I definitely have been needing something new. This is a track I used to leave my PS1 on just to listen to while I did other things, so it's been perfect. Here's to 2 months before graduation!
My "real world" job is in a university, and I hear a few students say they enjoy longform video posts like this for the same reason. I'm glad it's helping, and good luck with graduating!
@@metalstnick6664 It is common to see every student carrying their phones and headphones around. So of course, you can walk around campus with any song of your choosing and listen to it while walking in campus. If you can do that in campus, you can do that anywhere. You can do that when you grocery shop, walk in the streets walk in the park etc.
My 1st and favorite FF and PS1 since 1998. I randomly searched the PS store when I got my PS5 and God blessed me with the remastered. I was grateful to finish the game I started back then when I lost disk 4. So many memories and nostalogia while playing.
Ah man, losing the final part of a game is a killer - I had the same happen to me with Lost Odyssey, ironically - I'm glad you got to finish the story!
What I think is particularly great is that Uematsu knew that you'd be hearing this track a *lot* during gameplay, so made sure it was one of the best compositions he made for the game. Although saying that, the whole soundtrack is bangers!
I guess it was around 1990's that time passed since my encounter with this game. Although I did not finish it, it feels good to playing the game. I wish, someday, I would. It would be an honor, knowing it would save the world.
Had a bad day all day. Soo I remembered the good old days. This music of FF8 popped in my head. Always puts a smile on my face. Thanks FF8. Definitely one of my top 10 games ever!!!
I'm beginning to wonder if there's some sort of subgenre or some label to put on this, there's been a few people drop by recently that say they've now got children but find themselves pining for this. Is this nostalgiacore?
You can even encounter this kind of music even at a grocery store. I remember when I went to Hong Kong Supermarket way back in 2006, Balamb Garden was playing in that background. Someday, if you take your kids to any supermarket, you might encounter this kind of song. Sometimes, you find strange music in strange locations.
They're both excellent for different reasons, but VIII edges it over VII for me too. I think part of that might be that Uematsu had more experience writing for the PSX sound chip for VIII, whilst he originally started work on VII for the SNES before moving to the PSX. I don't know how much he had composed/completed at that point, but it's definitely food for thought!
@@JDubDotEXE VII is a very close second. For me it’s the incredibly emotional songs VIII has that makes me love it. This game’s soundtrack has always just resonated with me more than any other game
listening to this whenever i feel lonely. bring backs my inner early teen days. just sitting playing ff8 on a saturday morning. so calm and peaceful era.
This game literally saved my life back in my teens. My teenage years were rough, to put it mildly. But FF8 completely pulled me in and away from real world problems for a while, such an amazing experience. Timeless music. This game deserves a remake too.
The only final fantasy game I ever played growing up and as til this day as an adult a cousin of mine had it I popped it in and fell in love with the balamb garden and that song playing man 😢 so nostalgic casually listen to it while working to relax and remember a happy time in life with no worries and hours to explore
My infant falls asleep to this song and some more from this game soundtrack. The music from this game is composed so heart-warmingly: its hard to forget. It tugs at your soul like a cherished memory
I remember actually hearing this song 1 time at Hong Kong Supermarket. I know songs like this happen once so I consider this a rare song to listen to. I mean I would not expect to hear this song the 2nd time I go to Hong Kong Supermarket. So anyways, this song is part of a reason why I tend to shop at Hong Kong Supermarket. Weird right. We all hear this song from strange places. Just like the university you graduate from, you ended up hearing that song when you least expect it because who would of thought any university would like to reference one of the FF8 theme song?
i remember when i was a kid, and my parents where guests over a good friends house. they where talking and chattin, and i was allowed to play the only game that was on the house. ff8 on ps1. i'm german, and the game was all english. i've never played a game for such a long time. they didnt stop talking, so i was able to play the game almost the whole night. now i'm 30, and i still play this game. sometimes on the road, i use an emulator. sometimes at home, on my ps4. sometimes just for fun. both of my parents are dead now, but they shared the same dream - to never forget your fantasy. and that my friends, is final.
I come back to listen to this song to suffer. I yearn so badly for the peace, comfort, and innocence I felt when this song would play as I watched my brother play Final Fantasy 8. I was still too young to understand, I couldn’t ever make it past Ifrit’s Cavern. It physically hurts my body and soul to hear this, knowing there was ever a period in time I could feel this happy. My brain has warped this memory so strongly it almost feels like I haven’t smiled a single time since then. I’ve been struggling to find a reason to live, to be honest. I spend every waking minute drowning in a pool of deep nostalgia, knowing I could never hope to be even a fraction as content and blissful as I was in my childhood. Why continue fighting this losing battle? I have never met a single person that could give me one valid reason to stay alive.
That's some pretty deep emotional damage right there. All I can offer is some small solace that the peace and comfort will be here whenever you need it...
I agree. I've been in a state of emotionallessness.... if there's such a word. But with some odd turn of events. If just an hour of complete bliss and peaceful music. Makes my day if just for a moment. Totally worth it. 😊
That's childhood for you. All our childhoods are so nice. Our young brains don't even know we are being abused unless the abuse is really bad. We felt love and safe. I think in adulthood, the path to feeling grounded and at peace is to find something you want to do and do it. Could be a profession or a hobby. Something that gives meaning and purpose and joy.
I feel your pain bro. This point in .y life my brother and i played this amd legend of dragoon and it was the only time my brother and i ever bonded. Life seemed so simple in those moments. Im hoping you can find some happiness in this mundane life! Im rooting for you!
My childhood summarised in one ost, alongside with A place to call home of ff9. I can almost here the footsteps of the characters... Thank you and greetings from Italy
I think if you were to level up Quistis and Rinoa (and everyone tbf) whilst having Squall KOed all the time it might be doable? I'm relatively sure I read that the enemies only scale in level to Squall, with the exception of some bosses, so I guess just having the handicap of one less party member is the challenge!
I was at Toys R Us participating in a Pokemon card game tournament. I lost. To alleviate my loss I searched for a new video game to buy. I bought FFVIII and all was right in my world again.
I'm loving the VII remake, and excited to see where it goes, but would love VIII remade too. Walking around Balamb Garden with 2024 graphics would be awesome. Thanks for putting this together my guy! Got yourself a sub
I just beat the original FF7 for the first time before playing Rebirth. But since I can't really buy it now I figured I'd play FF8 cause I liked Squall enough in Kingdom Hearts. I'm only a couple hours in but this music stuck out to me immediately, it's really lovely. Thanks for this!
This kind of song can appear in random place which is a place where you least expect. I will even tell you a story about the time I went to Hong Kong Supermarket in USA. That Balamb Garden song was playing in the background while I shop at Hong Kong Supermarket. That can only happen once. So it does not have to be just Japan. No matter where you go, you randomly encounter this no matter where you go.
You may even encounter this even if you leave your house and your video game and go out shopping for food. To give you an example, in 2006, all I did is go grocery shopping at Hong Kong Supermarket and Balamb Garden theme song was playing in the radio. All the customers shopping can hear it. This accidental encounter most likely happen once. So even if you leave the world of video games and leave your house, even video game theme song might randomly follow you.
Crazy question but can you do this type of loop for the Galbadia Theme? I feel like all the extended versions for it don't exist anymore and the only one I can find will loop back to the beginning portion instead of it looping properly.
Hey there! I don't tend to do multiple tracks from the same soundtrack when I'm making videos, but I did recently do a set of 25 tracks from Hollow Knight as a collection, so never say never? I guess keep 'em peeled, I might do a Final Fantasy set at some point... 👀
No matter what kind of RPG game you play, you need to stay in that 1 mission for grinding. If you don't grind, you don't stand a chance to beat the game. There are people who ignores that extra sidequest because they only want enough experience points to beat the game. Best of all, you have save state to begin with. People who claims they cannot beat it just meant they were busy and would rather just move on from that game and never look back. Any RPG is normally supposed to give people a reason to explore long term. If you have to back up a step to gain more level up, do that. You will discover that it won't be that hard. We all read guides online to find out where we all want to go. Luckily Balamb Garden theme song does not require you to beat the game.
Yes! That will be like going to sleep while everyone else stays up late during curfews. I mean when you go out on a training mission with Quistis, they will talk about how some of the cadets stays up late during that curfew hours. So that can be a reminder that you can sleep when it is curfew hours while others stay up late.
@@JDubDotEXE Thanks ☺️. Someones I became good friends with in the group started learning to draw for real and would draw eveyone's characters, so I put my limited mspaint skills to use and would draw everyone's weapons 😁.

Just on a loop over the tannoy, occasionally interrupted by Headmaster Cid rallying the troops! 😅

so many feelings in these songs...this game is a part of my life
Engrained into your memories forever...
It is ..this game was more then a game for me also i was 17 when i played this game it gave me wanderful memories
same for me i was like a baby when i play it with my dad and now this sounds are inked in me
whenever i hear this song i need to sit down its too much
Sleep with music although

Takes me back to a simpler time
FF8 Remake when?!
I like to listen to this music when walking through the corridors of my university campus, it gives me the feeling that everything will be alright and I will be able to make it through even the hardest of times
Sowing the SeeDs of comfort?
I would suppose if you have your phone along with your headphones, that will work. You can walk anywhere in that university campus with that music on.
I can hear the footsteps while walking around.
They had a very distinct "clack" to them, didn't they?
@JDubDotEXE They sure did LOL. I love this game so much. Wish it would be acknowledged more as one of the best FF games.
I miss my childhood 😢
Me too... we can only hope for a remake following FF7R!
I lived in Balamb when I played FFVIII
I spent way too many hours playing cards there...
"How many times I wished my School was Balamb."
Minus the training centre full of monsters and giant T-Rexes, I assume? 🙂
Listening to this song makes me want to run around randomly for hours challenging people to a collectable card game.
That sounds like something I would like to Tri...
And then you get arrested cause to illegal gambling on the streets😂
My first ever FF game. So many memories. The drive to “100%” a game out of love rather than incentives like achievements and trophies.
Them were the days! *shakes fist at cloud*
You were driven to 100% the draw system?
@@opheIia7668 It's super-powerful in the early game to grab 100 of each of the available spells for junctioning!

Fantastic brings back memories 👍🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
why everyone missing their childhood.. me too.. its strange,, i think when we are in 50yo, we will be missing this time,, i don kno..im in tear
Everyone forgets eventually, sadly... 🥲
crying....😢
You can always go back to Balamb...
This felt like the time when everything was simple.
Things were never simple, it was just before it was so obvious that they weren't...
Sorry, that's a little pessimistic, but I blame The Internet™.

Falls asleep ❤ 😴
Good night! 😴
When ever i wanna go to a different world and just get away this is my go 2
There's just something about Uematsu's mastery of music that allows you to drift away and be absorbed by the setting.
You may even encounter this even if you leave your house and your video game and go out shopping for food. To give you an example, in 2006, all I did is go grocery shopping at Hong Kong Supermarket and Balamb Garden theme song was playing in the radio. All the customers shopping can hear it. This accidental encounter most likely happen once. So even if you leave the world of video games and leave your house, even video game theme song might randomly follow you.
This one and fisherman horizon theme is a perfect baby lullabye
In the words of Man #2 when you (spoiler alert) crash into the town walls, "We just call it FH."
But yes, I agree!
Doctor: sir you have one hour and 31 seconds to live
Me: say less fam
What a soundtrack to go by...
This is exactly what I needed. I love you ❤❤❤
You're welcome, and the love is appreciated!
Best game ever
Certainly a contender!
This will never impact me the way Tifa's theme does. Great tune though.😊
Each to their own, though I agree Tifa's Theme is damn good too!
Crazy question but can you do this type of loop for the Galbadia Theme? I feel like all the extended versions for it don't exist anymore and the only one I can find will loop back to the beginning portion instead of it looping properly.
Hey there! I don't tend to do multiple tracks from the same soundtrack when I'm making videos, but I did recently do a set of 25 tracks from Hollow Knight as a collection, so never say never? I guess keep 'em peeled, I might do a Final Fantasy set at some point... 👀
Listening to this while doing the junction thing haha
Ultima on HP, Triple on Speed!
Balamb Garden.... home........
For so many of us!
I was a child once
it was beautiful :(
We can all relive our childhood through this game!
2024 💆 relax music

How I miss the FF saga…😩
It really is a shame that we'll probably never see Square Enix embrace this style of RPG for Final Fantasy again...
I never could beat this game....😢
I don't think I ever managed it without the help of a guide in some places!
No matter what kind of RPG game you play, you need to stay in that 1 mission for grinding. If you don't grind, you don't stand a chance to beat the game. There are people who ignores that extra sidequest because they only want enough experience points to beat the game. Best of all, you have save state to begin with. People who claims they cannot beat it just meant they were busy and would rather just move on from that game and never look back. Any RPG is normally supposed to give people a reason to explore long term. If you have to back up a step to gain more level up, do that. You will discover that it won't be that hard. We all read guides online to find out where we all want to go. Luckily Balamb Garden theme song does not require you to beat the game.
When we had a lot of time to waste
*presses □ to play Triple Triad again*
FF8 needs remake but keeps the musical scores
I've heard rumours of an FFIX remake and I'm like "Why would you skip VIII?!"
perfect for sleeping💤
Enjoy your Garden dreams!
Yes! That will be like going to sleep while everyone else stays up late during curfews. I mean when you go out on a training mission with Quistis, they will talk about how some of the cadets stays up late during that curfew hours. So that can be a reminder that you can sleep when it is curfew hours while others stay up late.
If this song is not played in my funeral then I won't attend my own funeral!!
I've never thought of having a game soundtrack play at my funeral! Maybe Streets Of Whiterun for me.
How did you achieve that smooth camera movement in this video?
It's just a couple of fade in/outs of existing cutscenes, nothing special!
I wish I can go to this world
So long as they don't send more monsters from the Moon!
I was in a yahoo group where we wrote RP stories as students in a school but separate from the games sorry 😂
Good times
That's genuinely quite a wholesome thing to do!
@@JDubDotEXE Thanks ☺️. Someones I became good friends with in the group started learning to draw for real and would draw eveyone's characters, so I put my limited mspaint skills to use and would draw everyone's weapons 😁.
I'm glad I saved most of the pictures since I cant find the yahoo group anymore 🫤
순수한 시절로 돌아가게 만드는 마법
그 당시에는 시대가 더 단순했습니다!
Needs a true remake!!!!
FF7R: *exists*
FF9R: *rumoured*
FF8R: *ignored*
😮💨
Imagine a real life Balamb Garden one day 🤩
I'd spend all day challenging people to Triple Triad!
@@JDubDotEXEShoot, with a place like that, I could do So much. I'd want combat training, herbal gardens for days (poor folks, veterans, refugees, orphans, and just about anyone helping out), classes on herbalism, classes on Magick/witchcraft, music, meditation circles, just about anything to help heal the body/spirit, etc.
You're thinking far bigger than I am... I'll save the cards for the downtime I guess 😅
Garden reminds me of Hogwarts. they are two magical academies that puts minors in danger but we all want to go to anyway
The gardens, designs, and ecologic system remember me Venus Project
