Your first big battle is over, the sun is shining, you have a save point and an inn next to you, you feel safe, and there are hours of adventures ahead. It doesn’t get better than this.
After 15 min of listening to this I started crying. You will not believe how many hours I spent on this game when i was a kid. So many happy memories. Thank you for taking me back to those days.
I miss these days! I was 17 when I used to just sit and stare at the TV before. Squall would stay here for hours so I could hear this music. I’m 40 in 9 months.
im 33, played this game so much as a kid.... now I'm using the soundtrack as background noise as I go back to school.... helps sooth my mind and focus, I listen to this and Zelda lofi, so so happy it exists....... many many thanks for this content.
This was my first and favorite Final Fantasy game and there were so many memories attached whenever I think of the times I played this on my PS. I was 11-12 y/o back then. Now Im 35 and I hope they give us a remake of VIII just like what they did for VII, while Im still alive and able to play videogames. Lol. A girl can dream.
FF9 is all but confirmed to get a remake, so I suspect 8 will get the same treatment down the line. Allthough I heard they lost the source code for the game, so it's gonna take a while in any case.
Listening to this always takes me back to being a kiddo. I was maybe 11 or 12 when I played this the first time. I'm in my mid 30's now...what I would not give to be sitting home on Christmas break at 12 with this game in front of me for hours on end. No worries...no stress...full of wonder and excitement about what is going to happen next. Getting older is great in some ways...but I yearn for my youth.
Very understandable but I'd warn against that kind of thinking. Hope for the future is more important ( and healthier) than longing for the past.. we also tend to look at the past through rose tinted glasses. You're only in your mid thirties like me.. let's work to create a great potential for the next decade... work hard enough and strategize...you may find yourself at 46 years old able to just chill out and play more awesome games lol
FFVIII is my favorite FF, a soundtrack that’s quite underrated. This track + Eyes on Me with all its versions takes me to the good old days when I was a bit of a gamer. I’m 32 now and I still go back to FFVIII videos and music, after all these years! Thank you for uploading this with the beach waves, it’s great for falling asleep to. Makes me tear up a bit/feel sentimental. Thank you thank you ❤️🔥
I don't care what other think of this, but ambience music from FFVIII is just unmatched with other series, I'm just immersed to the game immediately and can tell the exact location from just hearing the music theme. The feeling is so nostalgic man. Thanks for your effort
Remember sending my dad out to pick this game up for me when I'd preordered it back in the day, was so excited. One of the finest games ever made, so many great memories of playing this. Great soundtrack too.
I couldn't afford it, I borrowed it off a friend who couldn't get into jrpgs, I was so excited and stayed up til 3am playing it. My mum was so pissed off at me as I was 9 haha.
@@helloimadisappointment7330 Fair point. Wondering now, would a remaster update the game's ability to since modern controllers and update the buttons that show up in game? Currently I think that's a very manual mod one has to put in.
@@kairon156 there already is an official remaster, they added things like the ability to turn off random encounters/go into 3x speed, it’s on xbox, playstation and maybe switch but i’m not sure. have a good day/night
@@farseervisions Who said that? I would love to see FF8 get the same treatment as FF7 but I don't think it's popular enough for Square to put that level of effort into it.
Puts me back in a place that was very pleasant, FF is such a unique experience and getting to experience it while as a kid is one of greatest thing a person can be part of, It helps the lost find what they are missing, it inspires hope and love, long live FF.
This track randomly pops up in my head once every few months. Thank you for compiling these background locales and adding in the town SFx. Square RPGs have extremely memorable area/town themes. They might be simple pieces of music but once you experience them, they have a tendency to stay with you for a very long time.
Didn't realize this was new all the comments are relatively new, I always love these types of videos everyone's always sharing what feels like distilled nostalgia. VIII has so many calming tracks feels like it has the most of the series, I remember playing this year's ago trying to find all the magazines, running everywhere, reloading so I could see everyone's reaction to Zells room, Squall kneeling with low health my entire game haha Makes me want to play again
Absolutely, we're still a relatively new channel. Think we've been going about 18 months. The music, absolutely, it's got such a unique soundtrack, it goes between dusty melancholy, sweet and relaxed tracks, to utter dramatic hopelessness. I love it haha.
Never got the hype around vii. VIII is a crazy open mess that works however u want to play it. An Introverted main character, with passive aggression that can lead to my enemy's death? Works for me.
Never got to play this game!! Might have to watch a playthrough.. :) Beautiful soundtrack! FF will always have a place in my heart.. Even the games I didn’t get to play. This is amazing!!
as i kid i used to spend hours just run around in circles at balamb town, repeatedly popping in on zell's mom and looping to the pier, and for the life of young me i couldnt figure out why i liked spending time in the town so much. 20 something years later, i now realize twas the music.
remember playing this in my small room on a small tv when i was in my teens when life was so simple and i could just smell the ocean. Days when you don't need big 70 inch 4K graphics to enjoy a well made game.
I actually bought this game for the PC for the first time when you could still buy game CDs. I saw it on a shelf in our local circuit city and grabbed it because I liked the box art and it was on sale. I could only play on the weekends so completing the game felt like it took forever but it always gave me something to look forward to at the end of the week.
@LordPrutsikas you're remaking ff8? You should come join the tsunamods discord, there are loads of us working towards a similar goal. You might get some help.
Going to get Ifrit without lvling. Get his STR Bonus. Spam lvl at the beach with Squall. Cruise to the finish and enjoy the story. Bought Remastered on steam. Character Quality is worth it after so many years of this treasure.
Such an amazing game and it never got the remake or remastered it deserved just a couple of mods a reselling it as a remastered bunch of pigs I hate the fact they never gave this game a chance they never even wanted to finish the game so much potential lost
@thelastofitskind3034 I've got some good news for you in that regard. I'm working on 2 mods myself at the moment. A music and a sound replacement mod. If you want to see any of it I'm streaming the progress on Twitch. I'm also working with people who are upscaling backgrounds, fmvs, and adding voice acting in to the game.
@@FinalFantasyChill just because you shared this with me I would love to hit like and subscribe to every video you make 😘 I have a feeling someone like you can make this game better than it already is I can't wait to see your progress
Matching your breath to the tempo of this is something I recommend
Good idea!
Your first big battle is over, the sun is shining, you have a save point and an inn next to you, you feel safe, and there are hours of adventures ahead. It doesn’t get better than this.
and u then, choose to finish ur end game content right there and then, battling the goddess of cards. the end.
@@kevinperez8747 Lmao you get it. I just started a new playthrough. 20 hrs in and ive only been to Balamb and Garden playing triple triad.
After 15 min of listening to this I started crying. You will not believe how many hours I spent on this game when i was a kid. So many happy memories. Thank you for taking me back to those days.
I'm like 100% positive that all of us believe and relate to you lol
I was 11 years old in a whole other world, that was my escape, Final Fantasy. What id do to turn back time to be a kid again 😢
I wish there was a FFVIII theme park which we could visit
*hugs* same, bro.. Same.
same for me 🥰 I wish I could go back... ❤
I miss these days! I was 17 when I used to just sit and stare at the TV before. Squall would stay here for hours so I could hear this music. I’m 40 in 9 months.
It's the most relaxing place in final fantasy without a doubt
Same here! I bought the OST in CD and when I want to chill I usually listen it in Spotify
I Played it as a kid - and i Love it for ever ❤
im 33, played this game so much as a kid.... now I'm using the soundtrack as background noise as I go back to school.... helps sooth my mind and focus, I listen to this and Zelda lofi, so so happy it exists....... many many thanks for this content.
thanks for making me smile, at the time I was 9 years old, now I'm 32 I wish you happiness here in Brazil 😇
Thank you! Very similar age for me when i first played/now. Wishing you the best!
Me too Jackson 🤘
im 38 now. this theme truly brings back childhood memories..😊
I'm 38, from Brazil too... Ohh good memories of PS1 and pirate CDs!!

FF9 is all but confirmed to get a remake, so I suspect 8 will get the same treatment down the line. Allthough I heard they lost the source code for the game, so it's gonna take a while in any case.
Also 35 now and this music still takes me back. One of my favourite games of all time.

For me it's the best Nobuo Uematsu work! (and he made a ton of other masterpiece OST, but FFVIII is pure love!)
FF8 was, and still is my favorite FF game.
Funny how a video game as a child can affect your life & still how you feel decades later
It's a story at the end of the day, and a bloody good one. I think FF helped turn video games in to vechiles for narrative.
Nice username 🙏

I am not sure if VIII, IX or X is my favourite, but by gods the first disc of FFVIII (up to the assassination) was simply a stunning game chapter.
FF8 deserves a HD remake. Maybe not on par to the latest FF7 but simply a clean update of textures and things.
that would be a remaster, not a remake

the whole soundtrack is amazing and will always stay with me and bring a melancholic smile
Same here!
Wow takes me back to a simple life that I miss so much. I still think FF8 has the best soundtrack ever 🔥🔥😎😎⚘⚘
VIII's soundtrack feels thematically such a depature. I think 6-X all have such different feels to them in each installment.

I remember dreaming of being in a sun lit seaside town with this crazy architecture...this game brings back good memories...
I grew up with this game. Thank you so much for making this!
Not a problem :)
I wish I could live in the Balamb town. A nice calm and serene seaside town indeed.
@@CHOCOLATIONZ there must be a town like Balamb out there.
thank you for this, i think i could listen to balamb and fisherman's horizon for hours and hours
By listening to this i can easily smell the ocean.
Seeing this immediately took me back to PS1 days when everything was simpler.
Awesome! Another save point!
Rest well everyone! :)
We can get back out there whenever we're ready.
Love you! NEVER GIVE UP!
@@TheBelovedDesirableIsland 🤎
Squall is the darkest main character of all final fantasy games. Great personality
Darker than Zidane? His origin is he is Terra's angel of death. Close for sure!
The soundtrack to this game is incredible. Probably not the most noteworthy FF game but damn did it have style.
Never got the hype around vii. VIII is a crazy open mess that works however u want to play it. An Introverted main character, with passive aggression that can lead to my enemy's death? Works for me.
Lovely chilled vibes for my evening of pure Warzone dread.
That's an excellent idea for a playlist "free me from my existential warzone dread"
its an own fantastic world with the best game music ever
Never got to play this game!! Might have to watch a playthrough.. :) Beautiful soundtrack! FF will always have a place in my heart.. Even the games I didn’t get to play. This is amazing!!
You definitely should watch a playthrough. One of my favourite games. And I feel, largely underrated.
My first final fantasy, love the tune.
In FF8 Every single photo plane you passing/moving through is a an art painting, it's truly magical and poetic... 💓
as i kid i used to spend hours just run around in circles at balamb town, repeatedly popping in on zell's mom and looping to the pier, and for the life of young me i couldnt figure out why i liked spending time in the town so much. 20 something years later, i now realize twas the music.
@hoonkz89 breezy really is one of the best tracks in 8.
Takes me back....... Thank you for this.
Thank you for this. Really helped me fall asleep.
Glad to be of service!
8 hours of peace and bliss
So many memories. Sadly, it's been a long time since.
remember playing this in my small room on a small tv when i was in my teens when life was so simple and i could just smell the ocean. Days when you don't need big 70 inch 4K graphics to enjoy a well made game.
This is ideal super sleepy times
More super sleepy FFVIII incoming V soon.
I learned this song on guitar, I luv it.
@@ninjutsuninja5035 it's very fun to play
This brings a nice smile to mi face.
Thank you fren for putting this online.
So many great memories.
We had this in the CD player the first time I went to space. I'll never forget it as a reminded me of home that I longed for.
I miss hanging out with Zell’s mom.
I also miss hanging out with Zells mum
This one hit the hardest, yo. ❤
My kid falls asleep super fast to this melody.
I really need to try it with my own kids!
Best thing about 8 was the music.
brings me me back to the best times of my life i guess😍
I can play at this game again and again and i will never get tired of it❤
thank you for this...this is my childhood game growing up

i love 8 just as much as i love 7. i dont know why people hate on 8 so much
I think the battle system has a lot to do it, I enjoy it however. I adore the aesthetic of VIII.
mental illness bro
Love this one 💕
Listen to this always while working
That is awesome! Thank you.
Me too on repeat😎
Going to get Ifrit without lvling. Get his STR Bonus. Spam lvl at the beach with Squall. Cruise to the finish and enjoy the story. Bought Remastered on steam. Character Quality is worth it after so many years of this treasure.
VIII gets a lot of hate, but those who like it, love it.
i have to learn this on guitar. it sounds amazing
Its not too difficult, and I'm not the best guitarist. It's very fun to play!
this is nice! Thank you.
Very glad you enjoyed it!
*Sigh* I miss those days…beautiful memories.❤❤❤
Countless hours lost in this world. And o man I master the card game. I spent mostly my time on that. Lol.
A friend of mine never leaves to get Ifrit because he spent so much time playing cards in Balamb haha
@@FinalFantasyChill I agree. I remember doing that on my 2nd playthrough. And man that strategy guidebook was beautiful to have. Miss you 1999. Lol.
@@FinalFantasyChill the memories. Crazy how our time comes quicker than you think of it. But all a moment lol. That I will have in my heart.
me too :)
FF8 has such beautiful music thanks for this
Please do this with the, “ fisherman’s horizon” theme if you haven’t done already. It’s on par with this imo for relaxation and chill vibes. 🙏🏻
I've done a fisherman's horizon playlist. But I'll do an 8 hours of FH and ambience for you.
SAY WHAAAAAA?!!! That is unreal!!! That’s made my day/year! P.s I just had a 2 hour Power Nap to breezy, it was great!! 🙌
@@anthonycff it will be out in about.. 7 hours. Keep an eye out for the premiere. Thanks for the idea!
@@FinalFantasyChill😮😮😃🎉🙌🥳
just need a very occasional footstep sounds included and we are golden
Dis is so great. Tanks!
Square Soft was peak Music,ambience and environmental design
Look at that upscaled art that shit looks good
Im a piano player and this and to zanarkand, and secret library of daguerreo ff9 are my most played....
Wonderful 🙌
Amazing video. The only reason i not rate it 10/10 but 9/10 is because not all the locations are showed, especially the hotel rooms Please do that....
the best soundtrack in ff8!
Thank you for sharing
Thanks alot
one of my favourite next to Fishermans Horizon theme. ❤️
The 2 most relaxing tracks from ff8
癒されるー
maaaaa !
Remake please
Can someone please help me find the sheet music for this?
Google finalfantasymusicscores it's a really useful site. They have breezy on there.
This is so nice ❤
❤
My relaxation music ❤
Zanarkand ruins from x-2 soecifically
OhNoItsAlex
This game deserves a proper remake (not like how they ruined FF7 remake)
Still love ❤ Viii
