It caught me by surprise how much I appreciated the extra effort for the opera here. This was always a special part of this game. I'm glad to see the people at SquareEnix realize it too.
I played the original years back and eagerly waited for this scene...but i was not expecting ACTUAL singing. My jaw dropped, my eyes welled up.....this was so, so good.
I very rarely cry for anything, no matter how sad or emotional it is, but seeing new life being breathed into my childhood, to see this scene as beautiful as I imagined to be when I first played this game as a kid, that did it for me. I haven't cried like this in a long, long time.
i got so surprised with the 3d backgrounds. and when the voices came in for marias solo i started tearing up a bit. mightve not been old enough to experience this game 30 years ago but damn, this game means a lot to me.
It's not full scale but a rock version of Darkness and Starlight was in one of the Black Mages albums. III I think. It has the same bits plus the finale that was cut off in the game.
@@solblackguy If you've never heard it, listen to "The Impresario" by Jake Kaufman and Tommy Pedrini. It's as close as we'll get and it's SPOT-ON. Like Uematsu and Queen had a baby.
Haha, I always loved that part where you crash down onto the stage, and the impresario decides to wing it after the two male actors are accidentally knocked out.
Me too. Just got to that part yesterday and I'm finding all these little touches and subtext that I'm wholeheartedly enjoying, even more than the first time I played it.
I just realized the scene where Celes throws the flowers off the side of the castle foreshadows a devastating moment much later in the story. What a well thought out masterpiece this game is. Hits you in the feels
30 years later... I still tear up just the same as when i was the 16 year old kid, playing this for the first time. This is the true Final Fantasy. The greatest one ever made.
I remember so clearly the first time I played this part. It was those 8-bit midi audio, and even then, you can even hear the lyrics as the music went. With the remastered music and added lyrics, wow, my imagination of back then when I first heard it has come back into this remastered version.
Listening to it, my friend and I felt like we could make out the words (by reading the lyrics and listening to the sounds). We knew it wasn't the actual voices but it pushed the SNES to its limits and thus was just as moving. This was great hearing the actual singing but the SNES version will always be special.
@@Ebani it’s called nostalgia. I’ve heard both, i love the remaster version so much more. People say her singing is bad, but I really like it personally
I was watching my friend play this yesterday. Before we got to the opera he said it was one of the best, if not the greatest, scenes in video game history. I honestly think the same. I damn near ugly cried watching this lol.
I love how while it's clear Celes isn't trained for this, that's the whole point as the goal was simply to draw out Setzer. She's NOT a trained opera singer, she's a general. But yet she still sounds beautiful in her own way, and it gives the scene charm that no other version of the game has, especially with the 2D-HD treatment for the scene. This is easily the BEST scene in the enitre series for me with the vocals and asthetics. Edit: If I had known people were going to call me wrong AND stupid just for sharing my own opinion on the scene I wouldn't have said anything. I'm keeping this up for posterity but my god.
I highly doubt that this was intentional. She sounds like a real opera singer in all of the other languages… And the game implies that she pretty much nailed it.
Setzer would not have kidnapped her with such performance, he would notice it's a trap, besides she is a General no a simple soldier, I think she would be trained in different arts since childhood and would at least try to sound a bit like a real opera singer to caught Setzer.
I think it's likely intentional that she sounds untrained. The classic opera vibrato is unmistakable, and is a hallmark of the genre. It's actually a consequence of the singing technique and is not as controlled as one might think. In other words, an opera singer does not purposely sing with that amount of vibrato, it just happens. So if you don't hear that vibrato, the singer is not using "proper" technique. Though personally I find the amount of vibrato obnoxious even though it's "proper" lol
I think A lame excuse for it to sound so weird. Why can't she be a good singer and that be believable when people suplex trains and she is out there destroying gods and gigantic monsters from hell and she weighs 90 lbs.
One of the weirdly coolest parts of this whole opera is when Ultros attacks in a life-or-death situation and the orchestra plays as if it's part of the show. It's fucking STUPID but I love it so much.
I like how her singing is kind of bad, because it sounds like someone that's never sang in her life singing for the first time, and that's the situation Celes was in.
Lol I thought it was great, both the male and female voice actors. I guess I am a complete amateur when it comes to musical appreciation. I know it was great because I started tearing up from the sheer beauty when celes starts singing. Just to me. I guess I am easy to please.
@@maxstone9999 is not that is actually bad, but celes singing sounds unprofessional on purpose and that hit me aswell in the feels. That's a level of effort i wasn't expecting.
The true beauty of Final Fantasy 6 is how they will make a really serious scene, follow it up with a crazy premise (Octopus Prince jumps the show) and then just roll with it. It's almost the same with Doma castle; You meet Cyan after the tragedy, but then he crashes the magitek armor through the nearby camp.
If they actually had voice acting in this game, and had their little pixel-art mouths move to the words, it would easily be the coolest version of this game ever made
Her mouth moves to the words in the original SNES version. It's so bizarre that Square Enix changed her mouth to be static in the Pixel Remaster, which is clearly a downgrade. I have to assume this was due to added multi-language support and the relative complexity (or laziness) of the dev team to make lip syncing work across each language.
When people ask me why final fantasy 6 is my favorite game of all time I just show them the Opera scene and now with the pixel remaster they can actually hear the lyrics instead of just reading them.
It sucks that they took down that watered down looking remake and made it look like this. So, I get to play through this again. I have played through multiple times and only ever beat the game on that ugly mobile remake. This game needs a full 3D remake. The characters look great in Opera Omnia, and look as if they could be in a remake looking like that.
@Raleigh Harris unfortunately Final Fantasy 7 has another mobile remake called Ever Crisis coming sometime this year. I did see a few fan made 3d Final Fantasy 6 remakes here on RUclips somewhere, which looks unique compared to this one. Most of these Square-Enix Final Fantasy pixel remakes has this awful lag issues aside from the fonts most fans including myself don't like, but the soundtrack sounds better than the original.
I fast forward to the opera scene, even when it begins I tear up. I replayed the last parts over, and was in tears. Truly amazing! Final Fantasy Vi is one of the most amazing Final Fantasy games, one of the most amazing RPG games, and one of the most amazing video games ever created! 🎼🎵🎶
God this whole part of the game would be fucking phenomenal if they did a full on remake. The whole game would be phenomenal. 7, 9 and 6 are the three I really want full remakes of. I personally think this singing is the perfect example of the perfect/imperfect theory. It's not that great, which makes it perfect because it's more believable. In my mind, this is exactly how Celes sounds. They nailed it. It makes me want a remake even more...
That's because they used the HD/2D engine they created for Octopath for this one section. They are remaking their first game in this engine Live A Live (the first game made by the creator of chrono trigger but never released outside japan and often said to be one of the best rpgs) They have said they plan to do more remakes in this engine so maybe this was a sorta test to see ow people would react to ff6? Was a crazy time for square then as FF6 - Live A Live - Chrono Trigger were all released one after another and I'd love for the other 2 to get a remake too .. can't wait for Live A Live tho
This scene made a huge impact on me back when I was a kid playing this game (as 'Final Fantasy III') on SNES. One of the most magical musical moments in a game already FULL of magical music. At the time it had the greatest OST in video game history.
@@Ashgrom 7 remake was great, what are you talking about? Sure it was different in some areas, but it respects the original while doing its own thing which is great. If they were to remake this one they wouldn’t change anything like how they did 7
@@captainpep3 It's not just "different", it goes against a lot of things that were great in the original game WHILE it was being advertised as a true remake of it

@@manoharalisa5829 yes, but would a remaster randomly change graphic styles (it resembles 2DHD) at various points like this? No, the answer is no, it wouldn’t
Not counting Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the Dissidia games, adding actual voice actors to sing in this scene makes Celes the only playable party member character prior to Final Fantasy 10 that we now have a general idea what her speaking voice would sound like.
No one's gonna point out how the conductor isn't jittering frantically anymore? Good thing they fixed that, suits the harmonic nature of this part of the game
@@CyricZ honestly, ff6 is my favorite in the series, and I've never understood how this is such a significant scene to the game lol. If anything, where I'd use this level of effort? The World being Reshaped by Kefka. Celes suicide attempt. Terra becoming an Esper and going berserk. The rest of the Espers attacking Vector. The use of the Light of Judgement.
I don't trust the current Square Enix to do it properly. The only way it could work is if they get Hironobu Sakaguchi involved. Otherwise I wouldn't be confident in a complete remake.
This is incredible. Yeah it's corny, but the original one was too. They put so much effort into the effects making it feel like the original while giving it its own spin. This is how you do a remake.
!!!!!!!! they did the Octopath thing!!!!!!!! damn I wish the whole remaster was like this, this is considerably more effort than I thought Square would give it.
It warmed my heart so much to be playing this with my wife and oldest daughter watching (who is really big into theater right now), and when we got to the opera scene and the singing started, my daughter started crying she liked it so much. This has been my favorite game ever. It never got the love and attention it deserved, but I guess that's a good thing because just about everything since Chrono Trigger and FF7 have been underwhelming.
Oh man, I find your lack of auto-crossbow disturbing, but this was such a joy to watch. I had no idea the remaster took this far of a departure to better such an iconic scene.
I've been waiting ever since the PS1 came out. People don't understand the level of fairy tale geniuses they had working for Square and anime in general from the late 80s to the mid 90s. Starting with FF7, square loses its mind and becomes obsessed with emo pretty boys covered in belts and zippers and shit. Plots become convoluted garbage.
I was excited when I heard that they'd redone the music for the pixel remasters. Now I know people are nostolgic and some do prefer the original snes chiptune. However as someone who played this years after, and while listening to all the redone fan covers, I can safely say this is accurate to the original intent with the opera sequence. Its like taking all the best parts of some of the fan covers and reworking some of the live preformances done by Uematsu himself. The 2.5 D is also an interesting approach to a remaster of the game. I see many people saying they should have just done a staight 2d port, which I don't see much of a point in. There is already the gba version, the ios version, and the playstation version. There would literally be no point in another straight 2d port.
This is the only part of the game that has any 3D effect. The rest of the game is entirely 2D. I *wish* they would have spent the effort to do the whole game like this, but the rest of it's a pretty much a straight 2d port with a lot of bugs, incorrect (Narche is displayed as a generic cave on the world map in PR, unlike the original which showed a city in the mountains.) or shrunken sprites in some cases (due to being adapted to the GBA's small vertical resolution, which this PR based its sprites on. Makes some bosses look less imposing.) and really contrasting overworld tiles taken from the GBA version (which were brightened to almost looking neon to compensate the non-backlit LCD). Also, some scenes and exchanges from the original Japanese SFC release were removed. Though, this has been the case for years... just, kind of disappointed that it's still happening in 2022.
@@StrikerTheHedgefox true, I meant this scene as a whole, rather the whole game. People keep throwing around demands for what they wanted from this port. I don't seem the point in the purist perspective. That being a port of the game with no changes, no updated Sprite or background work, or orchestrated ost. There are many ports that already exist to fill that purpose. The pixel remasters are interesting in that they can both keep the charm of the original while taking advantage of modern tech to enhance music and Sprite detail.
Even though the SNES had no voices, THESE were the voices I heard back then. Celes has got to be one of if not my favorite protagonist in all of Final Fantasy.
I hear so many talk about FF6 and I wish I could have played it as a kid because coming to it eagerly wanting to dive into the story and characters it’s rather difficult for me as a 30 year old to immerse myself due to the game being so old and not 3D. I’m happy to see how much this game means to so many people. I hope o can find something like that
9:55 - "Will neh age a day" / 12:58 - "Neh shall you have Maria's hand" Lmao. I never realized the original score was one syllable short for each utterance of "never", making the vocalzied version pretty hilarious.
It's not that weird, though. "Ne'er" is an established archaic/theatrical version of "never", so it's probably what they were going for here. They just didn't subtitle it to match the contraction, for whatever reason.
After seeing Octopath Traveler, and Triangle Strategy, it baffles me as to why these older titles haven't gotten that HD 2D love yet. This would look so great, especially since a lot of characters wield blades, swords, and magic. Sorry, but I used Gau late game, after he learned Meteor from any of the Behemoths. Next time I play this, I am tempted to just name him after the feral kid from Mad Max the Road Warrior.

Final Fantasy is the best video game franchise of all time ❤
This makes you cry? Wtf lol
Who else wants Uematsu to write a full scale opera based on the story here and perform it live plus have a version with the FF VI sprites.
It's not full scale but a rock version of Darkness and Starlight was in one of the Black Mages albums. III I think. It has the same bits plus the finale that was cut off in the game.

@@ZenKrio If there was ever one spot of the entire Pixel Remaster series to go too far, it'd be here, the banner scene of the final game.
@@CyricZ honestly, ff6 is my favorite in the series, and I've never understood how this is such a significant scene to the game lol. If anything, where I'd use this level of effort?
The World being Reshaped by Kefka.
Celes suicide attempt.
Terra becoming an Esper and going berserk.
The rest of the Espers attacking Vector.
The use of the Light of Judgement.
@@CyricZ wait.. I know you! You're the guy in Gamefaqs that made the biggest guide for this game!
@@Moldy135 in that case shouldn't the suicide scene also have the same level of quality??
Imagine this in a remake version 😢
When I was younger I would say this. Now that I'm 42 I say you can't remake perfection.
@@joselombana8381 no you cannot but you can improve it. There’s always areas of improvement even in perfection
I don't trust the current Square Enix to do it properly. The only way it could work is if they get Hironobu Sakaguchi involved. Otherwise I wouldn't be confident in a complete remake.
FUCKING AMAZING!!! I remember this Scene when my uncle played it! Goddamn do I love this!!
This is incredible. Yeah it's corny, but the original one was too. They put so much effort into the effects making it feel like the original while giving it its own spin. This is how you do a remake.
Played it in 1995, had some pipi in my eyes, loved the game :D Well done :)
They did such an amazing job with this!!!! In the original i kinda dreaded this part. In the remaster, i had chills.
Wow. A dream just came true.
My favorite sequence in the entire game, I play on emulators nowadays and just speed up on most part but never this one 😍
This was amazing.
Geez that was beautiful 😢
Super cool touch that her vocals aren't operatic at all, but very natural.
!!!!!!!! they did the Octopath thing!!!!!!!! damn I wish the whole remaster was like this, this is considerably more effort than I thought Square would give it.
It warmed my heart so much to be playing this with my wife and oldest daughter watching (who is really big into theater right now), and when we got to the opera scene and the singing started, my daughter started crying she liked it so much. This has been my favorite game ever. It never got the love and attention it deserved, but I guess that's a good thing because just about everything since Chrono Trigger and FF7 have been underwhelming.
Beautiful. It is so magnificent to finally see and hear Tom Slattery's masterful translation in a fully voiced version. Square Enix did well.
Oh man, I find your lack of auto-crossbow disturbing, but this was such a joy to watch. I had no idea the remaster took this far of a departure to better such an iconic scene.
I was yelling "USE THE FUCKING AUTOCROSSBOW" all the time during the rats part lol
Yeah I was spazzing out when he was just using bioblast and shit.
I can't wait for Final Fantasy VI Remake. 😍😍
I've been waiting ever since the PS1 came out. People don't understand the level of fairy tale geniuses they had working for Square and anime in general from the late 80s to the mid 90s. Starting with FF7, square loses its mind and becomes obsessed with emo pretty boys covered in belts and zippers and shit. Plots become convoluted garbage.
Ficou show a ópera!! 👏🏽 Jogo bonito!!
Now the Impresario has to get someone to write the characters and hire actors to play Locke and Setzer in part two.
I was excited when I heard that they'd redone the music for the pixel remasters. Now I know people are nostolgic and some do prefer the original snes chiptune. However as someone who played this years after, and while listening to all the redone fan covers, I can safely say this is accurate to the original intent with the opera sequence. Its like taking all the best parts of some of the fan covers and reworking some of the live preformances done by Uematsu himself. The 2.5 D is also an interesting approach to a remaster of the game. I see many people saying they should have just done a staight 2d port, which I don't see much of a point in. There is already the gba version, the ios version, and the playstation version. There would literally be no point in another straight 2d port.
This is the only part of the game that has any 3D effect. The rest of the game is entirely 2D. I *wish* they would have spent the effort to do the whole game like this, but the rest of it's a pretty much a straight 2d port with a lot of bugs, incorrect (Narche is displayed as a generic cave on the world map in PR, unlike the original which showed a city in the mountains.) or shrunken sprites in some cases (due to being adapted to the GBA's small vertical resolution, which this PR based its sprites on. Makes some bosses look less imposing.) and really contrasting overworld tiles taken from the GBA version (which were brightened to almost looking neon to compensate the non-backlit LCD).
Also, some scenes and exchanges from the original Japanese SFC release were removed. Though, this has been the case for years... just, kind of disappointed that it's still happening in 2022.
@@StrikerTheHedgefox true, I meant this scene as a whole, rather the whole game. People keep throwing around demands for what they wanted from this port. I don't seem the point in the purist perspective. That being a port of the game with no changes, no updated Sprite or background work, or orchestrated ost. There are many ports that already exist to fill that purpose. The pixel remasters are interesting in that they can both keep the charm of the original while taking advantage of modern tech to enhance music and Sprite detail.
The singing is literally out of tune
@@RDR911 she's a general not a singer that's the whole point
@@RDR911 basic comprehension hard
Even though the SNES had no voices, THESE were the voices I heard back then. Celes has got to be one of if not my favorite protagonist in all of Final Fantasy.
This exceeded my expectations
Great to relive some great memories from 1994 and in higher resolution! 🙂
Oh, Ultros... May you never change!
Live Final Fantasy Opera! Let's go!
Did the used the version from the Distant World Opera Concerts?
The soundtrack of this game uses orchestral music, which is amazing
I may not disagree with the sprites and the text font, but the almost-use of the HD-2D style for the opera scene is phenomenal
This one scene is literally the biggest reason I bought the pixel remaster.
That and FF6 is my favorite game of the NES/SNES era Final Fantasy titles.
It's the best game ever made.
Would love if this game got a full HD-2D remake like Live a Live did and DQ3 will be getting.
They did a really great job on this. 100x improvement!! 3:40, 6:40.
I hear so many talk about FF6 and I wish I could have played it as a kid because coming to it eagerly wanting to dive into the story and characters it’s rather difficult for me as a 30 year old to immerse myself due to the game being so old and not 3D. I’m happy to see how much this game means to so many people. I hope o can find something like that
Just play the new pixle remaster. I played it this year for the first time at age 39 and I absolutely loved it. I consider naming my girl terra
Does anyone have the sheet music to this?
Is there a way to play pixel remaster with original SNES sound?
That's awesome!!
This has been my favorite game since it first came out. I am just so used to the other lyrics though that it was difficult to fully enjoy thia
9:55 - "Will neh age a day" / 12:58 - "Neh shall you have Maria's hand" Lmao. I never realized the original score was one syllable short for each utterance of "never", making the vocalzied version pretty hilarious.
It's not that weird, though. "Ne'er" is an established archaic/theatrical version of "never", so it's probably what they were going for here. They just didn't subtitle it to match the contraction, for whatever reason.
6:39 30 years later and I just noticed this sounds like Aerith's theme.
Same here! I was scrolling through looking for this comment
It's the other way around.
this part always makes me cry
Wow proper lyrics very cool
If only they put this much effort of detail into the rest of the remake.
After seeing Octopath Traveler, and Triangle Strategy, it baffles me as to why these older titles haven't gotten that HD 2D love yet. This would look so great, especially since a lot of characters wield blades, swords, and magic. Sorry, but I used Gau late game, after he learned Meteor from any of the Behemoths. Next time I play this, I am tempted to just name him after the feral kid from Mad Max the Road Warrior.
