I'm 33 and I feel like for most of my childhood and even into my early twenties ff7-9 were ALWAYS in the rotation of gameplay even if my main game was something newer. If you ever want to cause me to suddenly get emotional and on the verge of tears (joy or sadness) all you have to do is put on a song from anyone of those games and you got me balling, or any great JRPG really. Nostalgia is by far my favorite drug, it's incredibly special to be able to have access to reigniting those feelings over and over again even as we get older by simply going to TH-cam and listening to a song. Thanks for the upload!
30 Years old, and I 100% relate to your comment. This game was y whole childhood... I feel very happy and lucky to have played it and finished it back in early 2000s.
I'm 35 now & fell in love with this game when I was around 13. Very nostalgic for me, im sure my love and appreciation for anime came from the old final fantasy's with VII & IX been my favourites! (have to admire the work of the Japanese) 🥰❤
For anyone worrying that they don't want to play this cuz it's old: don't worry. I played it for the first time last year and it's STILL a masterpiece all these years later. Ff7 is great too
Took me ages to get really invested in ff7, but by the end I really enjoyed it. Using different materia combinations made the game a lot more interesting - actually made grinding feel worth my time
This game is the true essence of an rpg and a masterpiece work in every aspect. This is what a true game is to me. It will live with me forever till the day i die
This soundtrack is perfect. It captures the essence of the previous games while being its own unforgettable masterpiece. It feels like a love letter to the Final Fantasy series.
The whole game does. The use of the classic RPG characters like mages, sorcerers etc when the previous games had moved away from that a bit was brilliant
It was set so far apart from most of the other tracks by that sombre melody but works so well in depicting Zidane's despair at that point in the story.
Just hearing the OST and I got instant flashbacks of the game background, characters and things I did in the game. Takes me right back to my teenage years... Nostalgia. Nostalgia everywhere.
RIP Squaresoft 😢 I don't trust Square-Enix on FF XVI. It'll never beat this masterpiece that was made over 20 years ago. Kinda sad, kinda like Leonardo Da Vinci and how we will never see the like of them again. I have made peace with how SE of today will never make another great Final Fantasy.
@@heyojayo8642 try Lost Odyssey if you haven't, if you can find a way to play it. That's the last true final fantasy made by the original creators of FF. Any final fantasy after FFX I did not like at all, and Square seems to have vanished when they merged with Enix imo. It's never been the same since. Edit; forgot I kinda enjoyed ff15 though it was a far cry from earlier FF.
@@creed22solar123 I agree, I think I am one of few that enjoyed FF15 in its entirety. The story was fun and epic, the combat was well created and I loved being able to switch between characters with ease. In FF16 sadly, the "story" is predictable and so daman boring, the combat is so easy I could give the controller to my 6 year old brother who plays Minecraft and he would easily play this game. All you need is to do one combo to stun lock most enemies. There are no curatives, no Phoenix Downs, or really anything special as far as consumables. There is just High potions, and normal potions and tonics (which I have never used because the game is so damn easy.) The visuals look like a late PS3 or early PS4 game at the best of times, which are far and few, and the color palette is just a mix of blacks, grey and dark hues of brown and reds. There is not much of that Final Fantasy color palette we all love. Most of the characters are horrible people, and the main "hero's" are bland and don't stand out. The villains are cartoonish, nothing is a surprise. All in all no one waste you're money or time buying Final Fantasy 16.
It's still ahead now, imo. I don't think I've seen any video game, or any piece of media for that matter, talk about loneliness and depression with such humanity and understanding.
I can't forget how frequently I used to visit local game stores to check if they have released the English version of this game... These brief moments of the clerk searching and looking it up while I am waiting anxiously... And then one day they finally pull up the game and hand it over to me... I couldn't be happier holding it so tight and heading back home in the car for 20 minutes just waiting to put it in that PS1 and see the Square Soft Logo, the main menu theme.. and just zoning out staring at it before diving into months of playing and replaying the hell out of it.. Have we got older, busier, or games got much less compelling? Or a mix of all? Who knows...
This was when games were made with genuine love and passion by their creators. Yes they were created to make money but the creators really did take care in what they put out to be bought by the public. Nowadays games are made purely to make money and any love and care is cast aside because it'll take too long when a quick job will do to save money. Also the game isn't cut into pieces to be later sold off as dlc.
@@heyojayo8642 the closest I have been to this experience at this age and time is persona 5. It did feel as complete as old RPGs we're, while further presenting tons of unique ideas, styles, music.. etc
@@apathy526 I loved being a Phantom Thief. Plus that soundtrack is awesome. If FF IX OST is nostalgic and otherworldly then P5's is modern and stylish with verve.
I play for first time / replay lot of old games, peak of gaming was gamecube / PS2 / Xbox era, since its declining ... (but there still some very games time to times ... Zelda, Elden ring , indie games ...
For me, it was and remains the best combination of music, design, story and gameplay in a game in my 28 years of playing practice. And I think that nothing will ever be better for me. Final Fantasy IX forever!
same, there was something really special about that number IX. Although I would recommend Lost Odyssey if you can find a way to play it, since that's the closest to true Final Fantasy that ever came out after FFX and became one of my favorite games as well. That it never got a remaster or PC release is a tragedy.
I remember how I went through this game half an hour before the new year, I remember how I could not restrain myself and cried a little because of the ending and hid it so that my parents would not see, I was so happy because I played this game for 4 years. I remember all those feelings, as if it had just happened ... It was half an hour before the new year, 2007, and then I was 16 years old, like the heroes of the game. And I thought that soon my adventure would begin the same way as theirs, but now I'm 2 times older and I understand that the best thing I can do is save that naive myself from the distant past, even though I have not experienced anything similar , but I now understand that real happiness is to be that naive dreamer with a pure heart.
@@davidnaparty4683 What strikes me about your comment is that you played the game for 4 years. I can't imagine an RPG built nowadays and targeted towards kids/teenagers taking that long to beat. Do we have stronger connections to our games as kids than the next generation because we spent more time on individual games, rather than a plethora of quicker ones (mobile games especially)? I wonder...
It was a video game, for goodness sake! How was the music so supremely epic?!! This whole game was an absolute masterpiece, and my favorite of the whole series.
100% agree. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug but FF9 is honestly my favorite game of all time. Soundtrack actually helps me with anxiety (dali village for sleep ftw)
@@jcudal32 if I went to Berkeley my thesis wouldve been on Japanese videogame music composers and the influence of classic rock and roll introduced into the culture of Japan, there's some riffs and melodies in Sonic and many other games that have tastes of the trippy hippy days. Same but different; Trigun and Led Zeppelin.
Hace 20 años terminé este juego por primera vez. Aún recuerdo lo mucho que lloré con el final. Fue el primer videojuego que me emocionó tanto su historia y su mensaje. Una de las mejores formas de mostrar el amor por vivir. Saludos desde Buenos Aires, Argentina!
El amor por vivir, esa frase resume todo. Grandioso juego, que gana en profundidad cuanto más años tienes, al igual que le pasa a pelis como Blade Runner.
Haven’t played this game for about 20 years, but the tunes from the soundtrack still play in my head when I’m doing an “epic task” like painting a room or taking my dog on a really long walk with no headphones 😂 Crazy how games of this era had better scores than most movies ever made. Love it.
Thank you very much my friend. As some of the comments, I played FF9 a lot when I was a child, and to be able to listen to this beautiful OST really brings joy to me. Thank you!
Definitely, it is my go-to music when I need a bit of motivation at work. The only problem is that it makes me want to play every time haha. I have a switch and I can buy it on it for pennies, might just do that :D.
For music appreciation class, we had to memorize instruments. I aced it by finding people playing memorable Nobuo Uematsu themes on the instruments. Played them moments before the class started, me and a couple other people were stressing. A few people really felt the music. The Professor clutched his heart and went "Ohh that is true work of art."
Final Fantasy 9 y 6 son las dos mejores entregas de la afamada saga rolera. Dos joyas atemporales que han escrito con letras de oro la historia de los videojuegos. Un ameno pasatiempo para muchos y un anclaje cultural (tan respetable como cualquier otro) para otros tantos.
Good to know that so many people think this is probably the best game ever made. The soundtrack, the story, the side quests, ohhh the nostalgiaaaa!!! Best FF of the whole series.
aight hold up. i love final fantasy. ive played ever one. the best are 4,5,6, and 7. FF9 is an amazing game, almost perfect, beautiful GFX and music, but best Video Game Ever??!?!? no way dude. what about Ocarina of Time? Chrono Trigger? Tony Hawk2, Grand Theft Auto, Soul Calibur, Super Mario Galaxy, Breath of the Wild, Perfect Dark, Metroid Prime, Halo, Half Life, Bioshock, Goldeneye, Resident Evil 4.... all of these games are rated higher than ANY Final Fantasy.
i'm sort of ashamed that Final Fantasy 9 Shaped who I am today, I agree it is good to appreciate something but for it to control or reflect who you are maybe taking it too far... either way this game will live with me for the rest of my life I guess it could be worse but the characters and the journey helped me through some tough times.
I dont think you should be ashamed of that. It is the same thing for me. I listen to final fantasy souftracks every time i feel good or bad and even to my kids before bed.
Dont be ashamed of that Zelda OOT and FF VII shaped who i am today as well and everytime i hear any of the games soundtrack i always remember the good times.
not sure why you feel ashamed....Sephiroth did influence me to have long hairs XD....btw any chance you been speaking broken english like Zorn&Thorn ?(whichever buffoon that was that spoke it broken XD)......best characters of ff9 in my oppinion....anyway....good for ya...it revealed/awakened a side of your soul(and the game didn't even try to forcefully shove it down your throat, you embraced it)
Almost 5 hours of combined playtime. This made me think about something I've never thought of before: According to my own experience, FF9 is the video games world equivalent (in length, production grandness, and sense of long lasting fantasy adventure) to what Lord of the Rings is to cinema.
"how far would u go to rescue a princess?" was the motto in the tv commercial... FF9 best FF of all times pls square when u see this I want more references to this masterpiece in FF14 ❤
I would KILL for a playable burmecian race in FFXIV. I don’t think square will add another race after hrothgals for a while though. But if they do add burmecians it’ll be the quickest fantasia purchase of my life
Best game ever. Wonderfull music, characters, SUPER great art! Nice story I understand people that couldn't play it cause of the very slow combat system, at first it was slow even for me but the game was too epic to not continue through.
Cool! I arranged some of FFIX tracks for church organ: 'Dark Messenger', 'You're not Alone' and 'The Place I'll return to someday' in case you guys are interested ;)
As a kid, my copy of ff9 came with two disc 3s and no disc 2, and best buy refused to refund my brother. I ended up playing through the first disc a couple times I think. Very fond memories of this game! Luckily, I do own the second disc now. Ended up beating it back in I think 2019 or 2020. This game needs a remaster!
Amo Final Fantasy 9 TT_TT le saqué todos los secretos sin internet en ese tiempo con mi PSX, considero que merece un remake bien hecho, bien podría ser el mejor final fantasy de todos los tiempos y ganarle al 7
Seeing russian gameplay represented in this OST video warmed my heart cuz Im russian myself,,, ff9 was such a fundamental game for me in my childhood,,, thank u
2:22:25 - the audio cuts out, comes back, and then cuts out again for this song in particular for some reason, just FYI. Love this game so much, thank you for uploading this :).
So many occurrences of chills listening to this whole thing today. What an amazing experience the game is. The creators knew exactly what they were doing in each aspect, and put all of their experience into this last main FF title on PSX. While there have been good titles in the following eras, FF and otherwise, I haven't enjoyed a game so much since.
It's odd that I HATED this game when I first played it! Now that I'm older I can appreciate it so much more! Its now one of my top 10 favourite games of all time.
I am 38. Will always remember a place to call home. because I'm still searching for it. As well as the roses of may. Want to dance on it with my bride...
The best game of the history, I have played it tones of times, my first cd was scratched sadly and I always had to start the game from the memory card game saved on the second cd 🥺
Un giorno andai per caso in un supermercato, vidi su quel scaffale la scritta Final Fantasy IX. Non sapevo nulla del gioco, conoscevo il VII e a malapena VIII. Era l'anno 2002/2003. I miei me lo comprarono quando ancora nel mio paese c'era ancora la lira. Non posso mai dimenticare quei momenti freschi del periodo di quando lo giocavo. Racchiude quei paio d'anni d'infanzia e ricordi.
IMHO the best Uematsu's FF soundtrack alongside with FF4. So epic and emotional and the track of the Kuja battle (pre-final boss) is so fuckin '80 prog! I wonder why they didn't cover it with The Black Mages
Of the PS1 Final Fantasy games, most people flock to 7, myself I own all 4 (Tactics counts), but 9 really drew me in with it's back to basics approach. The character models were back to the Final Fantasy I knew from the NES and SNES days. The game just feels "right" unlike 7 and 8. Tactics on the other hand, gorgeous game due to relying on sprites.
My favorite movie is actually a game but it's kinda like a movie with features 😂 it's Final Fantasy IX. Just the most beautiful story, animations and soundtrack. Would really appreciate to listen to you playing "Melodies of Life" for example, actually everything Nobuo Uematsu does is just great.
i remeber getting this game back then, the case itself was bad ass, and when i saw their was 4 disc i was like hell yea! this game is going to be long as hell
Im only 14 but i Remember playing It with my older cousin and my sister. We didint even finished the story but man i Remember all the good time we spent😢😢😢

It was even nostalgia when I first heard these things back then.

Shoutout to Kuja for not destroying the world while Zidane and friends spent multiple in-game weeks playing with Chocobos.
a real mensch
What kind of monster interrupts a chocobo. Sad Kweh noises.
you have no idea how nostalgic this is for me, and I really enjoy listening to this while working
I never comment on videos. but THIS... Pure Nostalgia. Thank you for countless hours and nights, FFIX.
This soundtrack is perfect. It captures the essence of the previous games while being its own unforgettable masterpiece. It feels like a love letter to the Final Fantasy series.
The whole game does. The use of the classic RPG characters like mages, sorcerers etc when the previous games had moved away from that a bit was brilliant
3:54:24 "You're Not Alone!" is a banging epic masterpiece!
It was set so far apart from most of the other tracks by that sombre melody but works so well in depicting Zidane's despair at that point in the story.
Yes it's my favorite track of ffIX 😱😍
Sound out for stamping!
I remember crying my eyes out in that scene, the music enhancing that feeling.
that time when Beatrix is so powerful. I feel that desparate
Just hearing the OST and I got instant flashbacks of the game background, characters and things I did in the game. Takes me right back to my teenage years...
Nostalgia. Nostalgia everywhere.
Yes true..
I'm leaving this comment here so that everytime a legend likes it I get reminded that this masterpiece exists
RIP Squaresoft 😢
I don't trust Square-Enix on FF XVI. It'll never beat this masterpiece that was made over 20 years ago.
Kinda sad, kinda like Leonardo Da Vinci and how we will never see the like of them again.

It's still ahead now, imo. I don't think I've seen any video game, or any piece of media for that matter, talk about loneliness and depression with such humanity and understanding.

I'm here while studying for college right now lmao

man the nostalgia this brings everytime I put it on sends me to cloud9 playing with my big bro again as kids
finished through this game at the age of 6 and now the soundtrack is forever embedded in my memories with the most insane feeling of nostalgia
age of 6?? wow.. I finished it when I was 12 or 13..
FF9 was the first video game with a Story I ever Played in my life
holy mother of god the entire first 30 minutes of this OST are literally unbelievable
Yeah. What happened to Nobuo. It sucks shit.
Man! I love this battle soundtrack, I can clearly imagine movements of the boss, characters, camera angle environment! lmao - > 35:47
A real treasure that became part of my soul since I discovered this game when I was a kid. Thanks for the upload!
Man, did this one get deep around disc three. Even the plot had a masked persona, and revealed it's true nature.
i try to listen to this but i just cry because life will never be as simple as the day i first played this ever again
Nobuo Uemstsu is a genuis. Lile this entire soundtrack is a work of art.
Still one of my favorite battle themes. Thanks for uploading.

i'm sort of ashamed that Final Fantasy 9 Shaped who I am today, I agree it is good to appreciate something but for it to control or reflect who you are maybe taking it too far... either way this game will live with me for the rest of my life I guess it could be worse but the characters and the journey helped me through some tough times.
I dont think you should be ashamed of that. It is the same thing for me. I listen to final fantasy souftracks every time i feel good or bad and even to my kids before bed.
Your spirit talks to you in ways that your brain can't even comprehend. There could be a deeper reason for why you are pulled to this game
*laughs in Kefka-inspired nihilism*
Dont be ashamed of that Zelda OOT and FF VII shaped who i am today as well and everytime i hear any of the games soundtrack i always remember the good times.
not sure why you feel ashamed....Sephiroth did influence me to have long hairs XD....btw any chance you been speaking broken english like Zorn&Thorn ?(whichever buffoon that was that spoke it broken XD)......best characters of ff9 in my oppinion....anyway....good for ya...it revealed/awakened a side of your soul(and the game didn't even try to forcefully shove it down your throat, you embraced it)
Almost 5 hours of combined playtime. This made me think about something I've never thought of before: According to my own experience, FF9 is the video games world equivalent (in length, production grandness, and sense of long lasting fantasy adventure) to what Lord of the Rings is to cinema.
That's a good analogy
This OST is part of my childhood. What a memories.🙏❤
Absolute GOAT. Much better then VII. I SAID WHAT I SAID DON'T @ ME!
oooofff
4:16:49 Don´t mind me, just leaving a time stamp to myself for the coolest theme in the game.
1:21:40 Also, one for the most sentimental.
Thanks for it it's one of my all time favorite OST with one winged angel
51:00 man its for real one of best overworld Music in FF Series ever ...damn
Facts
when i must die, i want to listening to a Place of Memory.
thank you for uploading this :)
How could a game be so good
Recently got into the final fantasy series. One thing they ALWAYS get right is the music, so damn good
"how far would u go to rescue a princess?" was the motto in the tv commercial...
FF9 best FF of all times pls square when u see this I want more references to this masterpiece in FF14 ❤
This comment aged well. :) Have fun will all the FF9 references in FF14 Dawntrail!
I would KILL for a playable burmecian race in FFXIV. I don’t think square will add another race after hrothgals for a while though. But if they do add burmecians it’ll be the quickest fantasia purchase of my life
@@Arcanum-t2r Yeah, Yoshida said ff14 won't be getting any more new races.
@@ryokophreak true, but at the same time they said that exact thing after they added the au ra so you never know
4 hours 50 minutes sounds about right, I mean it's a phenomenally expansive soundtrack
I adore You’re Not Alone, Freya’s theme, and Unforgettable Silhouette out of all the FFIX songs and am partial to Vivi’s theme as well
incredible.....
what are the odds .... those 3 titles are my favourite too
Best game ever. Wonderfull music, characters, SUPER great art! Nice story
I understand people that couldn't play it cause of the very slow combat system,
at first it was slow even for me but the game was too epic to not continue through.
Bro being in my 30’s this take me all the way back love this game
Cool! I arranged some of FFIX tracks for church organ: 'Dark Messenger', 'You're not Alone' and 'The Place I'll return to someday' in case you guys are interested ;)
As a kid, my copy of ff9 came with two disc 3s and no disc 2, and best buy refused to refund my brother. I ended up playing through the first disc a couple times I think. Very fond memories of this game! Luckily, I do own the second disc now. Ended up beating it back in I think 2019 or 2020. This game needs a remaster!
Amo Final Fantasy 9 TT_TT le saqué todos los secretos sin internet en ese tiempo con mi PSX, considero que merece un remake bien hecho, bien podría ser el mejor final fantasy de todos los tiempos y ganarle al 7
El 7 es epico pero el 9 es un sentimiento inolvidable 🔵🔴
Seeing russian gameplay represented in this OST video warmed my heart cuz Im russian myself,,, ff9 was such a fundamental game for me in my childhood,,, thank u
2:22:25 - the audio cuts out, comes back, and then cuts out again for this song in particular for some reason, just FYI. Love this game so much, thank you for uploading this :).
3:54:23 Still gives me goosebumps thinking of that scene
chya
Its so goooood, right? BEST FF EVER :)
I can't believe this is 5 hours long, unbelievable classic
Vivi's Theme FTW
The best Final Fantasy songs in IX...
И этот саундтрек и вся FF9 в сердце навсегда. Лучше этого не было, нет и боюсь не будет.
согласен
Found that I still remember most of them after years
This game was so much fun when I played thru it! So much to do and side games to play.
So many occurrences of chills listening to this whole thing today. What an amazing experience the game is. The creators knew exactly what they were doing in each aspect, and put all of their experience into this last main FF title on PSX. While there have been good titles in the following eras, FF and otherwise, I haven't enjoyed a game so much since.
Banger after banger after BANGER!!!!!!
Went into a south gate at the border theme slump but couldn’t remember the name. Thanks!
I think it's time for a REPLAY AYYYY
It's odd that I HATED this game when I first played it! Now that I'm older I can appreciate it so much more! Its now one of my top 10 favourite games of all time.
Same for me, I wasn't very fond of it back in the day when the game released, but the older I got the more I learned to appreciate this masterpiece.
Cool idea with the vid in vid. Looking forward to see more of you.
Literally the best times of my life this game
The days when FFs were timeless and impactful tales.
A musical marvel to give an atmosphere to my role-playing games. :)
I am 38. Will always remember a place to call home. because I'm still searching for it. As well as the roses of may. Want to dance on it with my bride...
For me personally, its better the lofi.. helped me to study for my finals with a smile on my face. THX!!
The best game of the history, I have played it tones of times, my first cd was scratched sadly and I always had to start the game from the memory card game saved on the second cd 🥺
i love how the crystal world music is a subversion of prelude
but somehow in that context developes this more mysterious vybe, legendary 👍🏻
I've got it for ps1, steam and android, i would instantly preorder a remake version... pls squarenix give me life, give me Vivi.
Ff9 prelude has always been my favourite
Un giorno andai per caso in un supermercato, vidi su quel scaffale la scritta Final Fantasy IX. Non sapevo nulla del gioco, conoscevo il VII e a malapena VIII. Era l'anno 2002/2003. I miei me lo comprarono quando ancora nel mio paese c'era ancora la lira. Non posso mai dimenticare quei momenti freschi del periodo di quando lo giocavo. Racchiude quei paio d'anni d'infanzia e ricordi.
Thank you very much!
IMHO the best Uematsu's FF soundtrack alongside with FF4. So epic and emotional and the track of the Kuja battle (pre-final boss) is so fuckin '80 prog! I wonder why they didn't cover it with The Black Mages
Anyone notice how the place i'll return to someday 00:00 and oeilvert 3:21:52 are the same
What I love about FF9 is that you rarely get lost.
Yeah because it's overly linear. You'd love FF 10 or 13 then.
@@trollingisasport
FFx is very linear too. Ff12 is open world
Of the PS1 Final Fantasy games, most people flock to 7, myself I own all 4 (Tactics counts), but 9 really drew me in with it's back to basics approach. The character models were back to the Final Fantasy I knew from the NES and SNES days. The game just feels "right" unlike 7 and 8. Tactics on the other hand, gorgeous game due to relying on sprites.
My favorite movie is actually a game but it's kinda like a movie with features 😂 it's Final Fantasy IX. Just the most beautiful story, animations and soundtrack. Would really appreciate to listen to you playing "Melodies of Life" for example, actually everything Nobuo Uematsu does is just great.
Beautiful nostalgia memories
i remeber getting this game back then, the case itself was bad ass, and when i saw their was 4 disc i was like hell yea! this game is going to be long as hell
Im only 14 but i Remember playing It with my older cousin and my sister. We didint even finished the story but man i Remember all the good time we spent😢😢😢
So glad i was a kid when i played these
