One last GaMetal album song remains, and it should be ready to go tomorrow afternoon! The album release will be on Sunday and will coincide with a Q&A/News Live Stream starting around 3:00 PM US Central Time. More info in my latest community post, if you haven't read it yet! :)
It actually makes a lot of sense to include IX since it was meant to be a tribute/homage to the I-VI games; I'd have been surprised, to be honest, if you hadn't included it. My favorites are from II (hot take, I know) and IV, but I really like all of them, and I think you did an incredible job on each theme, as well as bringing them together into a cohesive whole.
Please stop. I know it's in good fun, but the fact that Jonny's been making fun of Void beggars in his video shows that he knows. There is no need to keep this crap up. Or are you just trying to pander to people? Stop either way.
The Black Mage in the thumbnail is so screwed. His Defense is way too low for him to be at the front of the party like that, why isn't he hiding behind one of the 6 tanks of his party-
@@seronymus Part of it is nostalgic, as it was one of the first RPG's I grew up playing. Taking the nostalgic goggles off, I adore the story and characters the game has. Accompanied by the wonderful soundtrack, It knows when to balance when it wants to be light hearted and when it decides to hit you with the tenser, darker moments. I also adore how streamlined the gameplay loop is (Focusing more on optimizing gear over level grinding). No matter how I feel, it fills me with joy to go through the world of Gaia and re-experience that adventure once more.
@@seronymus Aside from being the highest rated FF game on metacritic, 9 is considered by many people to be the peak of FInal Fantasy, where it took all the classic elements of the franchise and made it into the last game of an era. They wanted to truly show what Final Fantasy is at it's core in the original fantasy medieval style and did it perfectly while not alienating 7/8 fans. It's also the last game to have that style before 10 ditched the overworld and stuff started changing after that. tl;dr 9 is a fan favourite and also highest rated critically in reviews
yeah, 9 is the best i have ever played.. and i have played and finished all final fantasy 1 through 15 including online game's main story and 9 is undoubtedly the best for me, the story, graphic design, music, it all goes so well together for 9. Now i demand a full version for 9's battle theme!!!
This comment made me think about how in FF12 (with gambits turned off) they achieved to compensate this and have the classic RPG party setup with ATB bars (pseudo turn based like FF4-9) but they don't stand in row being attacked one by one. Though for some reason that fact is overlooked. Basically the classic gameplay but with constant movement and more natural fluidity to it, where the player has to think in real time to chose moves too while still having the Final Fantasy timer bar.
Final fantasy 1 will always be the most hyped up battle theme in the series. That’s just me. Hearing it in rock cover makes Warrior of Light the boss character that all villains fear. 👀💧💧💧💧
Gotta love in Dissidia when he basically tells Sephiroth to shut up and fight. Cloud would dread facing Sephiroth, but the Warrior of Light is no Cloud.
even though it's been two years since this was released, this is by far the best compilation of each battle song with the bassline before the main melody kicks in, even if FF1 is lower in comparison to the rest. a nice choice as well to see to go from 6 into 9. Also, most transistions here are ever so smooth, makes a great thing to listen to when I don't know what to listen to
I love how he did that. Also, I just love how great he did on it in general. The transitions were incredible and his drumming improved compared to his original version he did. In general Jonny did an amazing job on this. I feel like I go in expecting that everytime, but the dude never does disappoint.
I don't understand people who dislike this kind of video. It's a masterpiece, well mastered and produced, and most importantly: astonishingly executed!!
I feel it flows so well because its basically the same song but evolved with every incarnation as he gets more and more used to the tools at his disposal culminating in 9 being the ultimate form of it. A man not happy until he perfects it, each song is him tweaking and changing things ever so slightly as he adds more and more flourishes. which is why each version gets more grandiose and bombastic as the games progress.
Classics are classics, and this song is no exception, love this inception of the medley as your previous one was already great, this one has a lot of improvements compared to that one, congrats Jonny!
Eckitronix Thanks! I was honestly trying to get her 3rd form and accidentally passed too many trials in the time limit. Didn’t realize it was the final form until I read “Barbarian’s Sword obtained”.
MrButternuss Oh yeah, that’s still something I have to tackle. I need to beat FFIV first, though. Still trying to get through Lair of the Father; shouldn’t have let FuSoYa leave... Other things on my FF to-do list are... *Beat FFII - I’m still a long ways from this one. *Beat FFT - I’ve gotten Orlandeau with Divine Ruination, this is as good as done. *Beat the Kaiser Dragon - Kefka’s already gone, won’t be too hard from here. Yeah... I really need to finish some games up.
FFIX was the first Final Fantasy game I had ever played. God just hearing these themes bring back awesome memories. FF is an amazing game series, and you have honored it well.
It's weird to say it, because I'm not even a huge final fantasy fan... But I don't think there's a single other game that has so many nostalgic songs, not even mario
Hey GaMetal. I am going to use this theme of yours in my D&D campaign. I am using the full FF boss themes you have in this Medley for certain boss battles I have in the campaign, and at the end of the campaign all of the bosses will come back and fight the players with this theme. Its just so amazing your interpretation and merge of the themes!
9 paid all the respects to FF1. Garland, the fiends, the soundtrack, going back to 4 party members, full gear sets on each party member. It was so good... and then X happened. Sorry guys, I know that is a ton of peeps fave, but it is on the bottom of my FF list. Right above XIII with me, but, that is JUST me. We're all welcome to our opinions and sentiments. 😅
5:32 [INCOMING TRANSMISSION] "Niiice one, Jonny! This medley was better than the first time...y'know when you FIRST recorded it. So, we're getting close to the end of this...I dunno what to say to that. And what's got me even more uneasy is that You3 hasn't shown up yet. No matter though, we still have to keep moving! Over and out!" [END TRANSMISSION]
Great job as always. I never played 8 or 9, or anything past 10 as SMT Nocturne set the bar too high for me, but i heard this track named "the man with the machine gun" which sounds like something from 7, but is from 8? Whatever, because that track is really good. You should consider covering it if you haven't already!
Requests 1. Another Mario and Luigi remix since alpha dream has gone bankrupt 2. Slider SM64 3. Title Theme Dr.Mario 4. Chill Dr.Mario 5. Dire Dire Docks SM64 6. Banjo Kazooie Main Theme
This is best one. I put 30 lbs on my bench in one week with this. I inject 500mg of one GaMetal a week. PRs! PRs everywhere. Celebratory jumping jacks of victory fanfare! I literally broke 150 to YOUR final fantasy 2/4 battle theme. Bro! 🥲 BRO!!!! B. R. O!
Parabéns cara, você é sensacional! O seu som no "Ultimate Koopa" do Super Mario 64 foi fantástico -- ouvi centenas de vezes, sem exagero, lol! Muito obrigado! "3:56" Até o Bowser participou, lol :) :)!!!!
I just started my retro Final Fantasy journey recently and am going to have to come back to this frequently when those random encounters start to wear me down
I can't believe in how good this turned out. And as a fan of FF and metal, and with Final Fantasy IX being my fav game ever made, I'm trully grateful and happy for this. Thank you imensly
Honestly dude you are a God. keep up the amazing work we love listening to your stuff. Your arrangements are fantastic and all instruments you play are on point. Keep it up!!!!
Dude, you are just too f##$% good. Seriously I'm LMAO uncontrollably quite literally due to my emotions on how beyond epic this is, masterpeice....Seriously just beyond epic. Thank you for this.

Que grande
FFIX deserves its own full cover.
For a few songs. He really should do Beatrix's battle theme.
It actually makes a lot of sense to include IX since it was meant to be a tribute/homage to the I-VI games; I'd have been surprised, to be honest, if you hadn't included it.
My favorites are from II (hot take, I know) and IV, but I really like all of them, and I think you did an incredible job on each theme, as well as bringing them together into a cohesive whole.
I respect your opinion and my favourites are 1,5,6 and 9.
My favorite definately has to be 4's.
5 still the best for me. Mixed job system FTW. Wish they make it 3D like 3 and 4. Sadly it never happened
My favorite themes are the II, V, VI and IX
Never played 9, but the theme was sick. I'd go with 4, 5, and 9
If I was about to die, Jonny making the Void Termina Medley would be my *Final Fantasy.*
(I’m so sorry.)
Follow your dreams, my man
Please stop. I know it's in good fun, but the fact that Jonny's been making fun of Void beggars in his video shows that he knows. There is no need to keep this crap up. Or are you just trying to pander to people? Stop either way.
I still think it's going to be the endo of the year thing, like Adventure's End.
At ppl above ^
People can still request void yall I'm just messing around when I make fun of it lol. No need to go on the attack!
@@JonnyAtma Respect.
Dislikes: 1
the person that disliked this: "WHY DO I HEAR BOSS MUSIC?"
The joke being that FF1 Had only one battle theme, which is used for bosses as well.
@Manek Iridius TVTropes sucks nowdays, pls no
4 people be hearing boss music now
Probably ff7 fans
The comment section: so you have chosen death
The Black Mage in the thumbnail is so screwed. His Defense is way too low for him to be at the front of the party like that, why isn't he hiding behind one of the 6 tanks of his party-
FFIX holds a dear place in my heart so, hearing the battle theme got me pretty emotional. Bless you, Jonny. 💖💖💖
Why 9?

Okay guys, let's all stand in a vertical row and take turns attacking and being attacked one by one!
Ops my bad, it was not my turn... Or was it...
Let's start again from the beginning
a vertical row is called a column
(References intensifies)

@@sharpsCASF sounds like what they did in Chrono Trigger
I always love 3's and 6's battle themes. Because 3 sounds noble, but 6 sounds like noble gone crazy
“noble gone crazy”
makes sense considering Kefka
Thank you for showing FF IX love. Thank you, kind sir.
Nice to see FF IX getting some love :D
Makes me wonder if Kuja's battle theme would be a possibility...
Final fantasy 1 will always be the most hyped up battle theme in the series. That’s just me. Hearing it in rock cover makes Warrior of Light the boss character that all villains fear. 👀💧💧💧💧
They're gonna KILL C h a o s
@@Kefka_Reborn
C h a o s stole my ice cream so we’re going to kill C h a o s.
Gotta love in Dissidia when he basically tells Sephiroth to shut up and fight. Cloud would dread facing Sephiroth, but the Warrior of Light is no Cloud.
@@Emberson-9000 Warrior of Light got that Dawg in him after all.
The transition from 3 to 4 was ace.

That IX battle theme remix alone makes life worth living.
I like how this is a collage of the Amano Era FF games. Freakin Sweet Dood!!!
I love how he did that. Also, I just love how great he did on it in general. The transitions were incredible and his drumming improved compared to his original version he did. In general Jonny did an amazing job on this. I feel like I go in expecting that everytime, but the dude never does disappoint.
That final fantasy 4 battle theme is such a kick in the nostalgia nay-nays for me. Well done
It's amazing how they all have the same rhythm but are so vastly different.
THERE ARE THREE OF THEM I REPEAT THERE ARE THREE
EDIT: I KNEW IT. PREPARE FOR THE ULTIMATE KOOPA.
This is getting out of hand, more there are three of them
Hype! FF6 and FF5 have some of my favorite battle themes ever, so it's good to see them redone
I almost cried when I started hearing the FF9 battle theme. So many old memories hit me all at once and I started getting emotional. Fire song!!!!
One of my favorites off the album, got completely thrown off when VI's battle theme was done, since the original was I-VI. AWESOME JOB JONNY!!
Suddenly, I feel powerful. Powerful enough to fight for what's right.
This is one of my favorite medleys you have put out so far. It freaking jams! 🤘🤘🤘
I don't understand people who dislike this kind of video. It's a masterpiece, well mastered and produced, and most importantly: astonishingly executed!!
Mmm, those transitions were *_deliciously smooth._*

Excellent job sir! Your guitar shredded these songs cleaner than Edgar's chainsaw through a Harvester!
The FFIX battle song is so god damn underrated
All the final fantasies from the classic era, and FF9 (which is heavily based on the classic era) ...Awesome.
I knew why you added in FF9's theme before I even read the description.
Cause it was an early attempt at being classic with a modern (at the time) game.
Bowser's small
he does as he please
when no one's looking
he hit the keys
Classics are classics, and this song is no exception, love this inception of the medley as your previous one was already great, this one has a lot of improvements compared to that one, congrats Jonny!
Props for adding IX, my personal favorite!
As someone who just beat Chronodia’s final form for the first time two days ago, I appreciate this, especially the FF1 part.
Well done!!

Thanks! I was honestly trying to get her 3rd form and accidentally passed too many trials in the time limit. Didn’t realize it was the final form until I read “Barbarian’s Sword obtained”.

One day, we will have a medley with ALL the FF battle themes!
Jonny, how are you so GOOD AT THIS!? I mean, seriously, every single part of this medley is perfect. It's better than any of the official remixes!
WE'RE APPROACHING KOOPA'S ROAD BOYS! I have waited forever for this moment, well, actually the past few days, but it feels like forever.
0:22 There I am Gary, there I am!
What an incredibly smooth transition!

There's a link to it in the description, pilgrim! 🤠
Here my requests:
1 Dark Samus Battle Theme Metroid Prime 2 & 3
2 Hyrule Field Twilight Princess
3 Hag 1 Banjo Tooie
Dark Samus would be a really cool one
Got that same guitar, love what you do with it
This shit made me pick up my guitar again after 4-5 years.
Thanks, fellow metal fan!
PS: those FF6 riffs are fun as hell :D

That FF6 soundtrack is still one of the best in ALL of FF
I think your original medley was how I found you back in the day.
And I will always come back to see it added onto.
IX is always a nice addition too!
Oh man! I really dig this medley! You always do medleys so well Jonny, I get hype every time you crack one out.

1:52 is the most nostalgic for me. :D
4:12 Sent shivers down my spine

Holy **** this is amazing af, gives me goosebumps all the way through!!!
Honestly dude you are a God. keep up the amazing work we love listening to your stuff. Your arrangements are fantastic and all instruments you play are on point. Keep it up!!!!
I am under the impression that part of enjoying Final Fantasy is enjoying the hype battle music
Dude, you are just too f##$% good. Seriously I'm LMAO uncontrollably quite literally due to my emotions on how beyond epic this is, masterpeice....Seriously just beyond epic. Thank you for this.
This is a massive overall improvement, but the most noticeable difference is in your drumming ability.
Lovin these songs here dude. All of them.
Me watching videos on TH-cam.
Suddenly, random GaMetal video appears.
Coincidence I think not.
I did not think 9's battle theme could get any more epic, clearly I was wrong! glad I came across this one in my recommendations!!
Hell yeah! I listen to your old one all the time! one of my fav medleys!
Excellent remake you are a great artist. It reminds me when I was a kid and play emotionally all those games.
Thank you very much
NICE...I remember your ff4 boss remix was epically lit af like this is too! NICE SHOW MAN!
Please! Hire Gametal for video game OSTs! This is beyond legendary!
