Still, to this day, this theme is what gripped me when I was first told Locke's backstory. Just walking down those stairs, thinking there was a treasure chest at the bottom, and learning of this story, made me compelled to see it to the end. Returning to the room when I had the Phoenix Magicite and watching the scene unfold... it hurt. Just to see them share their final moment together before Rachel would live forever on as the Phoenix, and Locke would one day pass. Final Fantasy 6 may have some of the greatest characters to date, but Locke's story of grief, revenge and finally acceptance will always sit in my heart.
Please, let go of the chains that bind your heart... I release you... Give your love to the one who now dwells within your heart... Love her...as you loved me...
this is one of the best arrangements I've heard of this song, and I've heard many... I love the electric guitar that comes in around 1:30... brilliant.
Definately Final Fantasy is the original series that has created the best moments of our gaming life time! No matter what Final Fantasy Stands out! NOBUO UEMATSU FTW!
@Vibrenium i can symphasise with you as i was in the exact same boat. i played it on PS1 and the exact same thing happened to me, and i never realised it until i listened to this and replayed the game. the torrent of emotions made me cry alone from this piece, combined in with what happened, broke me down considerably.
I think back, so long ago when I was young.. what's the year? -- 2010 now... I played this game first when it came out in 1994.. I was 8 years old. Just a kid ... I didn't know what love meant until I saw the scene with Rachel and Locke. Many years later.. I understand... You don't know how much you love someone until they are gone. FFS I'm a grown man now and this song made me cry.
Ever since I saw those scenes with Locke and Rachel, i felt really bad for Locke... I mean, he wanted to find the one thing that could revive his loved one... bu in the end... it didn't matter, but at least he was able to talk to her one last time. =(
FF IV is a TRUE classic, and one of the greatest rpg's (as are many Squaresoft games)....but it is the Final Fantasy games that made them what they were (until the merger *cries*)
@BattleJesus Agreed on all it said. The storyline of FFIV and FFVI are epic. I finished those 2games so often. Stuff I like about FFIV: Radya became an ophan, Kain betrayed his party and then come with his free will, Cecil becaming a pally, sacrifice of Yang, Cid, Porom and Polom, The Big whale. Stuff I like about: EVERYTHING.. just the perfection! After those 2, I tried FFVII & FFVII and I left the FF series until I played FFIX: Vivi is awsome. He got hooked to FFIX. :)
Locke took Rachel to Mt. Kolts, looking for what would become her engagement ring. Upon crossing a rickety bridge, it began to collapse with Locke on it, before Rachel pushed him out of the way just in time, taking the fall for him and losing her memory. Rachel was killed one year later in a raid by the Empire; after that, Locke searched far and wide for a way to bring her back to life. but he did not find it until after the world was destroyed
haha I will definitely give her props for having the coolest functioning gunblade ever (even though i still kinda prefer the LOOK of revolver) but fun facts like that are fun to notice and point out. i honestly think it's cool how they did that.
He heard of the legendary Esper Phoenix that could revive the dead and immediately went searching for it. When he got to Kohlingen, he used the Phoenix Esper on Rachel. Despite this, the cracked Magicite shard could only revive her for few seconds.
Locke had been searching the entire game (and part of his life) for some way to make things right. Even with the world ending, he searches to rectify a wrong with his first love. If this isn't a touching moment, I don't know what is.
Reason for that is he realized what he did wrong etc etc. It wasn't that he was a good guy "just he realized it after watching zidane, being beaten even when he got ultimate power) he felt he didnt have to live on so he was willing to help them before he died at least. Zidane understood he could help Kuja redeem himself more so he came to help him ( plus brother) also I mean Kuja was just always afraid of dying, zidane probably figured he can help change him and save him.
@DonYagamoth it's not. there are some stories you just hate to happen (take a look at Freya, ff9) yet you cannot feel but respect/love/experience what they have been through.
@Tikku4ever I would say the same, except for the only one that made me cry part. This game made me cry a lot. Remember the Phantom Train? ;-( *sniffle sniffle*
kinda find it funny that he's trashing IX and likes VI. I find most people who like one of the two like the other because the parallels between the two games are quite profound. In alot of ways FFIX and FFVI are the same. Why I love both of them
Yah know it wouldn't hurt to to a FFVI Locke's Chronicles because he is a treasure hunter, i'd do it post VI, still feature some of the returners too but mainly Locke and Rachel.
This is one of the better remakes on this song, but I didn't care for the percussion. If you took that out, it would be great, but as is, it's good. Nice job.
did you notice, Lightning is a female Squall? She carries a gunblade, is a member of a military organization, is reluctant to share anything with anyone for a lot of the game, very mission oriented, and the name Squall actually means "Storm" (paraphrased) storm, lightning, get it?
@BattleJesus Hi there, you can get the picture? How? I would LOVE to have this picture. FFIV is my brother's favorite (mine as well) final fantasy, and this would be such a good gift to him for his birthday coming up.
I really despise the ending in FFIX, even though I love the game otherwise. Kuja is suddenly a good guy, and Zidane goes back to help him? I know he was kinda like his brother, but that was such a sudden turn it really left a sour taste in my mouth.
BAHAHAHA.. Sorry, but FF6 is about 10000000x better than any game made by Square Enix. Just saying, FF7-FFX alone are true FF games, not the shitty newer ones. I can say this from experience-They tried to mix Tactics together with the battle systems from XII, and it failed miserably. I absolutely detested the characters as well, especially Lightning.. But then again, this is my opinion. And yes, I did play through XIII-And hated it the whole while.
@timboslice741 nope ff 6 all the way ff9 had worst storyline worst gameplay - worst character design - worst character development - worst effects- worst worldview/map- worst chocobo concept DAMN did it suck

This needs more views. This was a beautiful arrangement of a beautiful song. I think this is the only song in video game history that made me cry
Now that FF VII is being remade, imagine this game being remade with this version of the song, holy shit o_O
Nah, FF6 doesnt need to be remake. FF6 is FF6
Please, let go of the chains that bind your heart... I release you...
Give your love to the one who now dwells within your heart... Love her...as you loved me...
There are few songs in video games that I would describe as heartbreaking. This is one of them.
Great job.
15 years ago and still in my archive :)
Same here
this is one of the best arrangements I've heard of this song, and I've heard many... I love the electric guitar that comes in around 1:30... brilliant.
Oh...just, stunningly beautiful. This gave me shivers all over.

This is insanely beautiful.

One word... Flawless! *Bows to SSH*
A very fine rendition.
Gets me every time...
Amazing cover

You don't know how much you love someone until they are gone.
FFS I'm a grown man now and this song made me cry.
A very good music. Sometimes i cry when i listen that
I love this music, it's so good! =D
Ever since I saw those scenes with Locke and Rachel, i felt really bad for Locke... I mean, he wanted to find the one thing that could revive his loved one... bu in the end... it didn't matter, but at least he was able to talk to her one last time. =(
Saishuu Saitama Heiki is so gewd~ ,_,

IX remembers. It remembers and loves.
Esa escena de Locke y Rachel de verdad me hizo ponerme triste

It always makes me sad, the relationship of Locke and Rachel. At least he got closure and peace...
感動です、ロックとレイチェルのシーンを思い出す。
セリスにレイチェルの想いを託すシーンが感動。

I love the ending where Locke redeems himself by saving Celes. The same thing that happened to Rachel almost happened to Celes.

Just saying Squalls gunblade *shoots* just only when you press R1 :P
he uses it as a burst function. Gunblades are primarily a melee weapon in FFVIII.
Not sure if serious, IX was one of the best FF games ever.
FF6 is the top rated and most acclaimed game in the series.
This is one of the better remakes on this song, but I didn't care for the percussion. If you took that out, it would be great, but as is, it's good. Nice job.

Very nice music... and picture. But I guess Rachel should have had wavy hair there.
Lightning cloud
@ChuckyDoll79 I mean... After those 2 (FFIV & FFVI, I tried FFVII & FFVIII and I left the FF series until I played FFIX.
fixed
S.S.H.?
It stands for Saitama Saisyu Heiki, who did this cover and has done many for multiple games (usually retro).
@BattleJesus Hi there, you can get the picture? How? I would LOVE to have this picture. FFIV is my brother's favorite (mine as well) final fantasy, and this would be such a good gift to him for his birthday coming up.
@mrmoogle44 And bloody difficult
I really despise the ending in FFIX, even though I love the game otherwise. Kuja is suddenly a good guy, and Zidane goes back to help him? I know he was kinda like his brother, but that was such a sudden turn it really left a sour taste in my mouth.
@kaimialana Nier
can I find the sheets somewhere?
100% serious it is NOT a final fantasy game
納得の低評価０
BAHAHAHA..
Sorry, but FF6 is about 10000000x better than any game made by Square Enix.
