He did it…. The sunbish did it…!!! This is awesome man, wow! It sounds better than I had expected 🫥 I’m sorry that you do not have the memory of running around Balamb Garden to this, improving your SeeD rank in the NEW Final Fantasy VIII. Thank you 🙏🏼
Yes that was you who initially requested it! Glad it could live up to the hype and thanks so much for the superthanks. And I’ll play the game and make those memories at sone point!
@@CRGuitarr A lot of these retro games don’t age well and simply aren’t as fun to play as they used to be… Instead, I urge you to play The Messenger (homage to ninja gaiden), or Sea of Stars (homage to chrono trigger). Both are from Sabotage, a small team making fantastic retro-style games. Mainly because the music from both is some of the best out there right now, and I want it to inspire you and fill you with D E T E R M I N A T I O N Cheers Chris!!!
@@drewvonporte I second Sea of Stars having an incredible OST, the song Serenade of Respite is beautiful and would sound great with your style Chris (it's also a Yasunori Mitsuda piece 👀)
My god is the mixing good on this video, the voices are perfect! I genuinely had to switch from my bluetooth headphones to my studio setup to hear this in all its glory. Keep up the great tunes!
I can’t tell how many hours I’ve spent hanging around in Balamb Garden’s corridors, one of the most comforting places of my teen life. This music soothes my soul, and your version is amazing as always, loved the vocals, thanks for this gift CR!
@@joshuacalkins thank you, I think some video games become like places in our memories, and music can trigger feelings and sensations you had back then
@@melaniapina6368 Oddly I’ve found nostalgia and warmth from even gritty games. There was a moody game called The Darkness, (and sequel) which was not your average “beautiful” game, but full of dank subways and dark, empty streets. Replaying it recently I heard an old tune playing from a tv in the corner, and it whisked me back in time…
Wow! That was tremendous. Every bit of it. I never had the first Playstation, so I missed FF8, but this song is instantly compelling and you did such good work on it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Love the subtle use of spaghetti-transitioning. I had to really pay attention for it, but that bit was a masterful showing of restraint and nuance. Truly lovely. 🍝
Muito bom amigo, uma sugestão, tem um jogo chamado first samurai do snes, a musica da primeira fase, toca pra nós por favor, um grande abração do brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷

@@drewvonporte you are making my determination UNBREAKABLE

Wow! I really didn’t think I’d be getting comments on the quality of the mix as I’d totally fatigued my ears trying to get it right! Thank you so much
THIS is the chillest! Taking me back to my first FF game obsession as a kid. Love the vocals too man. Awesome stuff!
Thanks man! I wish I could say I played these games when I was a kid!
I love this music so much❤❤❤
Great cover Sir.
Thank you! It’s a beauty of a song indeed
A man of honor! The crowd asks and they shall receive 😊
I’m here for YOU guys

Cool story. I have stories like that from other games, some FF, but I missed out on 8.
@@joshuacalkins thank you, I think some video games become like places in our memories, and music can trigger feelings and sensations you had back then
@@melaniapina6368 this 👆🏼
Glad I’m not alone in loving my time running around Balamb Garden!
It’s my pleasure! Glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Spectacular, you are one of a kind
And you are too kind! Thanks so much
Holy spaghetti this was amazing.
As a Pastafarian I’m very happy to hear that
I've never even played or heard FFVIII's songs. I just like your arrangements.
Damn thanks!
I can totally see you running around the Garden in circles trying to hustle people in card games.
I am the one who gets hustled
Ahh nostalgia, keep pumping these out they are amazing
I ain’t stopping anytime soon!
Wow! That was tremendous. Every bit of it. I never had the first Playstation, so I missed FF8, but this song is instantly compelling and you did such good work on it. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I missed out too but the majority consensus seems to be that the music is better than the game lol. Glad you liked it man
Excellent-thank you! One of my favorite tracks from the whole series.
It really is a beautiful song! Glad you like it
I might just chill with this one on loop.
You’re gonna fall asleep bro
@@CRGuitarr more or less what happened was playing in the background just before I went to bed.
_2 seconds in_ I LOVE THIS
@@Harpsibored 90 seconds in: omg that went downhill quick
Bravo! Lovely tune 😊
Thanks!
good mixing! good job bro, keep it up
I’m SO glad to hear that! I spent so much time adjusting the mix that I started thinking it was hopeless!
Well done. Love this song....
Thanks! I love it too
Sooo so good! One of my favorite tunes from my favorite FF game!
Thanks brother! Glad you liked it
Damned good stuff! Uematsu would be proud.
@@gfinleyg I’d be thrilled if he even saw it! Thanks
This is a beautiful arrangement, but that 3 part vocal harmony is just.. *chef's kiss*. Bringing back memories.
Glad you liked the vocals - I almost didn’t include them!
Nice job, brooo!
Thank you friend!
Love the subtle use of spaghetti-transitioning. I had to really pay attention for it, but that bit was a masterful showing of restraint and nuance. Truly lovely. 🍝
haha glad you also appreciate the finer things in life
Masterpiece... wow
Thanks so much!
This is some ear candy right here
Don’t have too much or you’ll get an earache!
@@CRGuitarr I have a sweet tooth for some good puns!
@@FrostyLosty you’re in the right place my friend
Yeah!
You know it!
This is awesome dude!!! Great arrangement... your edition is flawless... man.... this takes me back!!! THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart
It’s my pleasure!
Very relaxing.😊
Agreed!
Oh shiiiit. Always a lovely song. It was my alarm tone for a time.
lol I’d probably fall back asleep if that was my alarm!
I've been using these songs as ringtones and alarms since I discovered this channel
@@velotrolemchamassuper stoked to read that
@@velotrolemchamasIs there an easy way to turn audio recordings into ring tones? My iPhone just quacks… 🦆
1:39 gotta stop trying to do this at work thanks fpr the awesome work
lol it’s ok man you’ve been an absolute sniper otherwise
8 is my favourite ❤ nice job
good taste!
THE LEGEND RETURNS (To Final Fantasy)!!!
Been hoping for this one for ages! It's so well done!
I’ll never stop returning! And I’m glad this one lived up to the hype
Beautiful song. This game was the first FF game I played that I didn't like, but you can't deny the music was always top notch.
lol everyone hates on this game and I’ve never played it! Agreed the music is insanely good though
got some smooth vocals going on there! also wow, 3 minutes!! way to go!
1.5 minutes until copypasta is too exhausting for me. Absolute insanity! Time for a 30 second loop
Best song of this Game!
I wouldn’t even know as I haven’t played it 😅 Planning to though!
Oooooo ive been waiting for this one for a while!!
And I hope it was worth the wait!
@@CRGuitarr absolutely!
Very nice. I used to have the piano collection for this game. Lots of very pretty music in this one.
I gotta check out the rest of the OST!
If this isn’t in a potential future remake of FFVIII, I say we riot. Who’s with me?
I AM
love this... brought me back 🥹
Glad I could bring you there!
fantastic
you done it beautifully sir
Thank you my friend!
Excellent man!! 🙌🏻
Thank you good sir!
Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssss! 🥰
TH-cam offered to translate this comment but I know what it means
Wasn't familiar with this one but it sounds really nice! Always cool to see more vocals too!
Thanks dude. Vocals are my hack to not using VSTs for long sustained chords
This is sick!
Thanks Jimmy!
Wow, beautiful ❤
Thank you!
Like the monk choir haha
When the guitar doesn't have enough sustain for the part, I tap them in or spam tremolo notes. I'm a simple musician
It's my childhood man 🥲Thanks
It’s my pleasure. Glad you enjoyed it
never been a fan of ff8 or the music but you can make anything sound good!
Much appreciated dude!
Muito bom amigo, uma sugestão, tem um jogo chamado first samurai do snes, a musica da primeira fase, toca pra nós por favor, um grande abração do brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
I'll check it out! I'm glad you liked this
this game had such a lasting effect on me. still to this day my favorite music on any game ever. however it is heavily competing with undertale
Never played either game but my god are the soundtracks awesome!
i liked for 1 frame of spagget
NOM
Needs more Cid.png
totally agree
And dude, please, please!!! Make one of Forest theme of super castlevania IV
I just may!
Lol finally
I may not be punctual but I do show up
If only the game was as good as this song 😂
lol I wouldn’t know but people sure seem to shiite on this game
@@CRGuitarr The story is extremely Emo and the combat is horrendous! Huge let down after 6 and 7
@COIFISHGAMING sad!
