  1. @midevil656 It’s definately close. Nobuo Uematsu considered that song sort of the prototype to the one from 7

  2. PrinceOSaiyans

    kefka= power hungry clown

  3. at 5:05 that’s the song when Aeris dies! never noticed before.

  4. @FloMonKish Amen to that..Games these days lack content, they just have plenty of shiny bells and whistles. We all can count how many EPIC games have came out this year alone with one hand, and have plenty of fingers left over.

  5. Getting this game back in early 1995 was one of the highest moments in my life. Literally the first TRUE Rpg that I ever played, FF 3 (VI) is the greatest RPG of all time in many people’s eye’s. Maybe Chrono Trigger is better, but I know one thing for sure, NO OTHER Final Fantasy is as good as FF VI. The ones who think that FF VII is better, are the ones who prefer graphics over greatness. Square just doesn’t “get it” anymore with their FF games. But man back in the day, they did for sure!

  6. @VIkingrBerserkr it’s not in here? For shame….

  7. @FloMonKish amen. Never though of it that way…

  8. FF6. just pure awesomeness. a great story, an insane and godly villain, Characters you can relate to, and the soundtrack….fits exactly where it should be.

  9. Also, since I know someone’s gonna say it, the original FF2, FF3 and FF5 WERE released outside of Japan, after the whole naming mishap. FF2 was released with FF1+2 Dawn of Souls(GBA). FF3 was released on DS as a remake, and FF5 was bundled with FF6 in Final Fantasy Anthology(PS1)

    @Gotmilk0112 @accountfor1reason aha! thanks for clearing that up!!

  11. @SyncrisisVideos

    FF1 was the same in both countries. FF2 and FF3 on NES were never released outside of Japan, then when FF4 was released on SNES, it came to other reigons as FF2. FF5 wasn’t released outside of Japan either, so when FF6 was released, it came to other regions as FF3. Then at FF7, SquareSoft was just like “Okay fuck this, let’s just start naming them the same in all regions.”

  12. Oh man the nostalgia is unbearable. All these tracks still give me chills :) . Atma Weapon theme and Kefka’s theme are probably my favorites.

  13. @FloMonKish

    No, you did not explain anything, you only make accusations: So i can’t use my brain to try and understand something meaningless.

  14. VIkingrBerserkr

    How can you have an almost 10 minute video on the music of Final Fantasy 6 and NOT have Cyan’s themes easily one of the most memorable tracks. :P

  15. @croscream
    hummm I explained lol, im not gonna write an essay, try to use your brain haha its not that hard to understand

  16. @FloMonKish

    Typical liberal smugness, making nothing but accusation without explaining why you think so, then ending it with peace. Let me tell you something, i believe in war with you people! peace

  17. @FloMonKish Jaded much?

  18. hakunamatata414

    As great as that sounds, the Square Enix of today would screw it up HARD.

  19. Simplemente excepcional. El repertorio musical de FFVI es simplemente el mejor del mundo de los videojuegos.
    Grande Uematsu!!!

  20. God !

    8:50 … It look like so much “Charlie Chaplin – Je cherche apres Titine” !

  21. Does everyone have an offering relic!?

  22. ZorotheGallade

    The funny thing about the game is that Every single one of the 15 main characters (14 heroes+Kefka) has his/her/its own theme!And if you play the game thoroughly you end up loving each one of them!

  23. 1:29 – running away from kefka on the chocobo’s!

  24. ArmenianAssassin

    I dont understand why they dont make games like this anymore. Today the emphasis is on graphics and cutscenes. Gameplay, character development, and music have taken a HUGE backseat. FFX ruined the industry.

    Whoooooops, meant 8:03 sorry!
