![Jordan Adetunji - KEHLANI REMIX (feat. Kehlani) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/EeJ8n5PxFGE/mqdefault.jpg)
Growing up, my big brother got me into FF. He was into FF until 8 came out, then he kinda drifted away from them. As a kid, I never got to play and beat any of them, because he would always take his memory card so I always had to restart them from the beginning and play as much as I could, but it was still so fun. Anyways, after we got a PS2, the PS1 kind of sat there unplayed. One day I got to borrow FF9 from a friend and it was the first one I had all to myself, didn't have to take turns as my brothers were using the PS2 by now. The memories from this game, especially the music, it resonates with me so much. The happiness I get from hearing the music from these games, especially remixed this way, it brings so many feelings up in me. Happiness, longing for the time in my childhood, remembering when I didn't have to worry about money or bills or my GPA. I know I can never go back, and accept it, but just for a moment... this music can bring me there. It's funny how so much of the story just goes over your head as a kid, you only really focus on who is the bad guy, and how do you beat them up. Now in my adult life, I relate to Vivi so much. Figuring out what my purpose is, and trying to find the strength to go on even when I feel like giving up.
Same for me with steiner
Funny i was the same my brother was obsessed with ff7 and 8 and resident evil 1 and 2, then lost interest and i got to come along and play ff9 and re3 as the next generation. I had a bad time in high school and ff9 kept me going and really imprinted itself on me. Now i can go back and play it with my girlfriend and it actually holds up. I think its translated far better than 7 or 8 and is actually very funny while also getting very dark especially towards the end.
Only problem is the remaster still does little for the graphics. The game was not meant for huge hd tvs. I k3pt trying to explain how good this game looked on a little crt tv. The only way to see the game as its meant to look is to stand on the other side of the room. Then it looks how you remember it.
Awesome comment. Same here! FF9 was the first game I really sat down and PLAYED. Not just random beat 'em ups or games that you started and stopped in one sitting. I became so engrossed in it. I had a game guide for it (wow remember those?) but only ever used it as a last resort...and GameFAQs was too tedious to navigate on dialup. I remember it feeling so bittersweet when I finished it. Happy, but so so sad that it was over. To this day, I still go back to it and play it every now and then. The Steam version, while different, is convenient so I go with that. Steiner will forever be the character I related to. Someone who puts all others before him. Considered a goof/not taken seriously but behind the charade is a loyal, powerful fighter who truly is a hero by the end of it all.
7 was my first...
Then the OG Tactics,
That story will make you cry no cap.
this is probably one of the best ideas an human could have.
"an human"? Why not "a human"?,
*any
Agreed my friend. I love this game so much, even if i played recently, so nostalgic, best word and characters :)
When your Tv is dying but Final Fantasy ix just came out .
True story. When I was a kid I loved this game. I was playing once and had to pause during the middle of the cutscene with Dagger and her hair. I got distracted and didn't return for a few hours, by which time her face and "Paused" had been burned onto the TV so it would always show up when the screen went black after that!
Bruh, that was my best friend and I when FF 13 came out. The tv was flat screen and free, so we were like, “nice.” Problem is, the picture looked like this AND had a big black strip of missing visuals on the right side. Oh well. Oerba was still just as stunning.
This is sort of related but I played ff7 on a very old TV, probably from the mid to early 80s. The colors were going, being both dim and off, with like a yellowish green hue to everything. When I eventually got a better tv it was like I was gifted with a remastered version of ff7 ;)
My husband and I bonded over our love for FFIX when we first met. Wondered how long this video has been around and realized it was published on our one-year anniversary! Super cool! We love this playlist.
Thanks :) Love hearing everyone's personal connections to the games - so many different stories.
I love ff9 too, want to maybe grab a pizza? Fck?
FF IX is my favorite and doesn't get as much attention as it should be, it deserves a remaster!
I can't decide if the #1 for me is FFX or FFIX, both are great games!
I know me and a guy at gs had this same convo I'd like to see a remastered Steiner capt. Steiner is my main and Everything in its finest glits ps I'd certainly buy it and square it in my heart pun intended
I never clicked on a video so fast
Me either
As a fan of both FF9 and lofi, this is one of the most tasteful mashups of two things I love. It's not easy to do well, but you did.
Thanks! This was the trickiest of the FF games so far to..lofi-ify because the music is so different. Glad you liked it.
Im here with you, this playlist is pure gold man, best game and community, we love this amazing game
What a great addition to RUclips in 201IX
good comment!
Took me a few secs to get it lol
@@Guitarist5003 seconds to be exactly.
*nerd voice* mmm, don't you mean 20XIX?
(jk, your is better lolol)
I imagine that this version of "You Are Not Alone" is what would play if Zidane decided to sit down and sort through the truth, rather than go on a giant monster killing rampage.
Now I imagine Zidane just chilling on that weird ass throne in the Pandemonium, smoking a joint, going "But, Garland. What *is* the soul?"
@@remem95 Pretty sure it's supposed to be like the brainwashing/torture chair from A Clockwork Orange and Brazil
"Oooh, soft"
This is dope, you are talented, thank you for this. There's a community of us who hold this game above every other, we understand each other
+1 to the community dawg
This is the game i love the most. The nostalgia in the music, the journey, the characters.. So deep, so lonely and so damn aesthetic hahaha i used to play this gamr with my brothers, and since we finally beat the final boss everything started being different, i dont talk to them anymore and I was just a kid back then. But thx to this game I have good and happy memories with my brothers. =)
This game is a lesson of life itself hehe
I agree with you wholeheartedly.
Final Fantasy IX has painted me a childhood where theatre performance was considered the highest form of entertainment, colorful characters and a music OST that has set a standard for all VGMs.
@@Daninput True indeed, i often listen to FF9's OST, it remind me the good moment i had in this game, and also the lesson that i've learn with it. Also many are those who think video games are just a hobby that will never bring something important to their life, but that's not true, indeed a lot of games are not ' example ' but some give the feeling that you've learn something, and that come from the game's devs, that worked to make people have fun, and relfect
It really is the greatest ff. Don’t get why it’s slept on. ff7 story is kinda wack when u think about it. It’s Okay. 9,10 then 7. 7 was my first ff so it’s my most nostalgic but 9, wow.
@@sirownzalotgaming3025 Those games gave us unique univers to discover. FF7 was famous, maybe because it was the first FF to be in 3D on PS1, and it's atmosphere was really something. My older sister and I where playing on a PSX, FF9 was our first favourite game. That is why this game have a place in my heart, and will always have. Many kids had Marvel's or DC's Heroes as their exemple, I had Djidane in my case :)
Btw, i'm not telling that Marvel or DC's heroes are bad, I just wanted to explain it ;)
So good! I used to be alone at my house while my mom was sweating bullets at work.Thanks mom for letting me be a kid!!
I'm so happy to see that the youtube algorithm is working well enough to show me this exact thing that I'm into
And I'm even happier you made this, thank you
Trick right youtube knows me so well now
Absolutely
9:19 that friendly encounter/ragtime mouse theme is amazing.
Thanks! I heard a track by nokbient that did something similar with a Kirby-style song with the super heavy compression around the kick and wanted to incorporate it.
I played IX at a very strange time in my life and have come to associate that period with it's OST.
Hearing it in this way paints those memories in a whole new light that is way more in line with where I was mentally.
Never thought I'd get emotional over lo-fi FFIX beats but here we are...!
Omg yes. IX is my fav! I’d be 100% down to hear you tackle more tunes from it
okok, now top me
Uh yeahhhh
Hey man, I'm am border line obsessed with FF9 it's a combination of it being a good game but also having a special connection with it for reasons too many and long to explain. Anyways, I just wanted to say thank you. This is some DOPE chill remixes that do not ruin the emotion of the songs original intent, great work my friend. I want to pay you more than what your charging for your work, PM me with a paypal or venmo account that I can send you something for your efforts.
PS this is (in my opinion)the last FF game where square soft, which later became square enix and made the other FFs, actually took pride in creating a beautiful game (graphics AND story AND real open world fun) and not just something aesthetically pleasing.
Honestly man I'm just glad you connected with it - this music is all about the nostalgia for me and it's always great to hear from people that share it. Don't sweat the money, this is just a fun hobby for me that I'm glad a few other people get a kick out of.
Thx for this I feel happy as Steiner hearing this bless you a man of quality hazza
how is it possible that 39 persons disklike this masterpiece...
Great job, FFIX is my favourite game , the only one I cried because i've finished it.. the OST is one of the best ever, Nobuo Uematsu did a fantastic job, but so Did you.
Kuja hit the Dislike button 39 times.
My heart is crying beacause of both happiness and nostalgia
This may be my favourite video on RUclips.
Bliss.
This is what I was searching in my life, without even knowing that (FFIX my favourite ever)
They need a love button for this kind of stuff.
I'm not kidding, this is what I open youtube to every day. I am never disappointed.
This is so frickin' good and the nostalgia rips me apart at the same time. So going to download this
Laying in my room, window slightly cracked open with rain pouring outside, and its 10:24pm ......while this is playing.
Life is good.
OH MY GOD I JUST GOT OBSESSED WITH FFIX AND NOW YOU MAKE THIS??? I OWE YOU MY LIFE YOU BEAUTIFUL AMAZING PERSON I LOVE YOU
The music , the story, the characters, this game had a huge impact on my childhood and life now, brings back so many memories and of how happy I was and have been, I still whistle randomly some songs and I'm like oh shit, I need to replay this again.
So many feelings towards each song, stay happy, keep these happy memories with you.
Yesssss! Thank you so much for making this, it's wonderful!
I love me some FF9, it might be my favorite. These remixes greatly capture the mood really well.
My first exposure to FFIX was when I was in elementary school. My dad played the game with my and my little brother by his side. He would read all the dialog, and give every character a unique voice, and bleep out all of the swear words. He played it all the way through 2, maybe 3 times. When we got older he passed the game down to me, and I played it 4 or 5 times. I did EVERYTHING in that game. Card collecting, all the chocobo hot and cold, the 3 secret bosses, daguero, every secret treasure chest, the Ruby easter eggs, everything! I played the game so much that my PS1 discs burnt out and became completely unplayable (the bottom of the disc is just buffed out and unplayable) and i had to buy a new "greatest hits" copy. I bought the game again on Steam (and am about to do a playthrough on my gaming channel). I have played this game in childhood and replayed over and over through adolescence and several times in adulthood too. The nostalgia is a huge factor, but the game (cheesy as it sounds) shaped me into who I am. I learned compassion and what it means to be human from this game. It always makes me emotional -- and every time i play it, i want to be a better person -- someone that little kid in the early 2000s, watching their dad play that game, would be proud of. Thanks for this remix. It upheld the soul of the soundtrack and gave it a little something new too. Fans of IX all know how special this game is, even if it seemingly always lies a little underappreciated. We know what it's all about.
YEAAAA so great!! I was waiting for this, thank you so much for your amazing work💖💖
Oh heck yes new content!!!
Your work is a go-to for background music for me rn, so bless you sweet angel.
So happy I can cry oh man, thank you! Needed this after I listened to your FFVII one
You picked really fitting tracks for this one! Great work!
I've been waiting for a good FF9 wave mix, and damn. This one's good. Thanks
¡HERMANO! I was waiting so much for this mix, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO MAKE THESE PIECES OF ART IN ONE VIDEO! I'm looking forward to see more of your work!
THIS. this is what I’m here for. thank you for your service.
That return rendition is majestic. Thank you so much for this tribute one of the greatest games of all time.
Wow this is awesome, thank you for putting this together!!!
Damn, I was just looking for this like a few months ago! So glad RUclips recommended it to me! This is great, you should make more!
thank you for making and sharing this with us! it's very well done, keep up the great work❤️
There was a lot of passion, love and knowledge in this game. Just like with your remix sir, have another subscriber!
My fav game finally gets the lo-fi treatment ♥ This is really a great mix, I bet it was hard but you really did it well imo.
Super cool of RUclips algorithm to recommend this to me, ever cooler of Lzls to create and share this with us, it's just amazing ! Thanks man :)
My favorite FF title ever. This is the coolest remix I have heard. Thank you!!!
This is amazing, you really are talented. You deserve so much more! Wishing you tons of luck. :)
Yoooo these remixes are clean, good job!
Your work is a masterpiece!
Thank you for this! Final Fantasy IX is my favorite game!
I'm glad there was no doubt I would find someone doing a FFIX version, thanks mate
Your work is so great dude, your mixes come out sounding so relaxing and pleasant. Thanks for doing what you do, and keep up the awesome work 👍
I love how well done this is, FF9 is my fave FF soundtrack and my fave FF so this is wonderful
This is dope. I’m impressed by how you handled a few of them especially Esto Gaza’s second phase
Yea I send esto Gaza to my lil bro to remix. I was impressed but truthfully this person nailed it.
This is just priceless. You really did an outstanding job. FF IX was never my favorite for game play, but the music is at the top of the FF stack, and this playlist does a wonderful thing with an already wonderful thing.
you always make the best fantasywave thanks for keeping the tunes going
Beautiful mix. Conde Petie and Esto Gaza were two of my favorite places to visit in the game, love seeing them here.
You deserve a Grammy for this. Tremendous
What an excellent birthday gift. I remember commenting sometime last year how criminal it was that there weren't any Final Fantasy x LoFi tracks. I would've taken songs from any game because of the nostalgic quality of them and how excellent the melodies are, and here you've gone and done my favorite tracks from my favorite game. I'm tearing up it's so beautiful. Thank you so much.
Subbed, this is awesome. Just started playing FF9 on Nintendo Switch and it's bringing back so many nostalgia feels!
been following these since the Midgarwave and, gotta say, super stoked for all the new work! this is great stuff :)
Thanks man, means a lot. Hopefully these are getting a bit better each time, Midgarwave was the first thing I ever made in a DAW!
Beautiful. Such an amazing game. Thank you for making this.
Straight up brought me back to the first time my brother and I played this game . His favorite Final Fantasy game and possibly the best orchestrated Ueamatsu score from the PS1 FF games. Thank you.
This is absolutely incredible. Please, please do more songs from this game.
My childhood and I would both like to thank you for creating this beautiful LoFi rendition from our most favorite Final Fantasy game of all time.
Sounds fantastic as always 😭💕
I'm listening to this in loop. This is not only a great idea but it was also delivered so well; Conde Petit vaporwave is like the best, especially when the the arpeggio comes in, I am in tears.
So amazing. It feels like you entered an underwater version of reality and you’re stuck with the ff ix ost in your head
I needed this, thank you so much
As always, I love your mixes! ♥️
Thanks! Always appreciate the support
Rarely comment but this is fantastic. FFIX is my favourite game, will be listening to this on my next bike ride. Subscribed 👍🏻
I've been waiting for something like this for 19 years...
Normally I don't comment after I listen to music but thank you again for the time you put into this.
:O !!!! how did i miss this! i could have been listening to this for the last month. Another excellent job Lzls :)
FINALLY! A FFIX lofi mix! THANK YOU!
I swear I'm getting more interested in playing this game off of this soundtrack alone
Return is incredible, these whole 24 minutes are amazing, I love you
i love you for this, this is my new obsession
This is once again an amazing thing you've brought to us all. I honestly loved this game without even having ever played it. I once saw footage for this game on G4 as a small kid (if only G4 were still around...) and falling in love with the Final Fantasy series since, but never figuring out where the clips were from. I just remember a smiling girl in a White Mage robe, being blown about in the wind, castles in the distance as a floating pirate ship went past, and several amazing forms of Magic in use, spreading before my eyes...
...yet now I feel as if I remember, and I know. The Princess, Garnet, wanted only to escape her boring life, people launching rays of Magic into strange new beasts, the shining, golden eyes of a Black Mage child...
And memories of sitting in my parents' room alone without permission to watch their TV, yet to discover much more...they all came surging back.
...Thank you.
Daaaaaaamn goosebumps
The Beginning of Esto Gaza always gives me the Goosebumps, beautiful.
In love! Absolutely amazing!
Thanks A LOT for this... please, continue!!!
I love your work esp with ff x. I subscribed and look forward to your works. Cheers 🥂
Thank you so much for creating this. The old Squaresoft logo on a CRT with scanlines dropkicked me all the way back to the summer of 2000... hard to believe that it's been 24 years...
Just bought this on bandcamp this is bloody immaculate thank you
Thanks! Glad you dig it.
This is a gift from the heavens.
Return❤️💓💖 listened to it atleast 10 times in a row, this game needs a remake with this remixed playlist
So surreal to see Zidane in action in 2024! Thanks for another great upload! ❤
The way it’s arranged should be in my skill level haven’t played music in 7+ years but these soothing final fantasy mixes inspired me to pick it up again
Absolutely gorgeous, keep up the good work
Dude this is honestly incredible! I wanna do a play through of ff9 using this soundtrack. Would definitely give some scenes a whole different vibe
Amazing work!
Oh... my heart... Think I might cry from the nostalgia and beauty of this
Great job on this!
I have to love it, people already said it's really good but I had to say it too. Thanks!
This is so Calming
Absolutely amazing
This is so great! I love you mannnnnn
I THINK I SERIOUSLY NEED MORE OF THIS
This is solid. I'm new to lofi/vapourwave music but this, being one of my favourite games of all time, is a joy to the ears. You could (and should!) easily make a part two with the rest of the soundtrack.
Burmecia, Kuja's Theme, Branbal, Black Mage Village, etc.
Your videos helped me out a lot when I felt lost and alone and just kinda worthless. I have a lot that is expected of me by a lot of people now and I don't have the luxury of being comforted by the games which kept me company in my youth while I was pretty much just by myself for all intents and purposes. These characters and stories are like the friends I had but never got to claim because they aren't "real".
These memories that you've so succinctly captured allow me the ability to go back and comfort my younger self in a way, like from the future, you know? I may just be reading too much into all this but I kinda feel like that's part of what the whole point of vaporwave is and you capture that brilliantly with your work.
From the bottom of my heart I thank you, Lzls.
I'm glad they could help a bit. Vaporwave to me, listening to it and making it, has always been a way to reconnect with the past and relive those memories. I know a lot of people who listen have FF games as an integral part of their childhood and it's so cool to me to hear everyone's stories and how the video brought something back to them.
