FFXV was beautiful in the way it depicted not only friendship but that destiny can be cruel and there's sometimes never enough time to do everything or express everything. Noctis had a huge burden on his shoulders. I also loved that so much of the big events took place off-screen, and you saw the characters reactions to it. To me, that was realistic and what I enjoyed about it.
I just love FFXV, it's now my fav FF but I can't say that it's very constructive for naration having so much things off screen.. Many things in the game were not always written well. But My God, the friendship ! For me the best friendship of all the FF and the best villain. Ardyn is so good as a character.
@@lunarya2855 Actually I do think Noctis comes across as bratty which is what makes him such a good character and so relatable. Here's this kid (20 is still emotionally young) who his whole life has been told "You're the chosen one, you have a grand responsibility to the world and must save everyone to fulfill the prophecy" WITH ZERO SAY in the matter. Of course he would be rebellious and gripe all the time! Who wouldn't!? All he wants is to have a dad, see his fiance (wink, wink), and chill with his bros like any sane, normal person. But instead he loses his home, father, fiance, sleeps outside, has to fight an empire, and purge the darkness without knowing what that even means. It's a great, tragic twist on the classic coming of age story about growing up and accepting difficult responsibilities in life. It wouldn't have hit as hard as it did had Noctis NOT throw a bunch of tantrums about all the loss and hardship he endured. :')
IMO SE wasted a hell of a lot of potential in these characters and plot. I've been playing FF games since I was a wee one with the American release of FF2 [actually 4] and played every single one after. I played FFXI for years [literally, in accumulated game time, sadly?] and FFXIV as well for a long time. I'm old enough to appreciate the olds, but also enough to see the drastic change. FFXV _tried_ to depict a deeper plot, but in comparison it just... didn't add up to what it _could've_ been in to the older installments. Ultimately I found the characters to not even be _remotely_ flushed out as to what could have been. That being said; I cannot knock SE for splurging on Flo as at the very least the soundtrack was phenominal.
Agreed, those who hate FFXV is just a kid or grown up with a kid's mindset that can't understand how the world work, sometimes bad things happened, and sometimes good things happened
I have way too many feelings about this song. It makes you understand that no, Noctis is not a spoiled brat, he just can't do anything about his destiny. He knows what awaits him that's why the time he spent travelling with this friends was precious to him but also knew that it was only a mere delay of his duties. He fucking technically lived 20 years and like what 2 days. The outro was just so beautiful and majestic. Thank you Florence and the Machine for performing a perfect music that conveys all of that !!
I think we love the game for completely different reasons. I think Noctis is a spoilt brat, at the start he is completely oblivious to the fate what awaits him and why his Dad is acting unusual. The story takes such a U turn at the start you are tricked into thinking you are going in a rich fancy car to a wedding with a beautiful bride with a bunch of body guards but things continue to get out of hand and only by the end of the game does Noctis understand what awaits him, such character growth / sense of journey is rare in games. It mirrors real life in a sense how we do things we might be really reluctant to do such as Education but by the end you realise how much the people around you matter, that feeling/sense of loss when the journey is finally ending is something that FFXV captures amazingly on an epic scale.
I don't know what I did to deserve seeing three new florence and the machine songs in my subscription feed but I would like to thank the goddess Florence Welch herself!!!
omg i saw it and was like hey i never seen this song before then i played it and was like goddamit im going to get final fantasy xv just for the music because i love her so much

this is true Florence & the Machine essence. I was already missing this powerful ballads. "Who cares about the thing I did that night?" she makes me feel every hair on my skin
Dude, as I was reading your comment I also was having chills and feeling all the hairs in my arms haha so damn good and cool. I truly love this song, but sometimes it’s too much and I can’t listen, i feel so much, tied with the game too. What a lovely and wonderful, if flawed, experience. I cherish it.
My best friend of 32 years died this past June. I feel like he was my Noctis and I am silly Prompto. I miss him so much. He is buried in a national cemetery. "A hundred flags flying in a field".... Gets me every time.
I am so sorry for your loss. If you want another shelter, I think you might like June, from Florence + The Machine. I hope it can bring any comfort to your heart. 🤍
Despite the multitude of different songs from this wonderful group and artist, this has to be my favorite. Not because of the game, but because there is something so terribly beautiful and sad about this song and that feeling of struggle portrayed by the lyrics. This song resonates with me in a way that I can’t put into words; like I needed to hear it and understand it. It is simply amazing and I still keep it in my active playlist wherever I go.
After beating FF XV, the lyrics are more meaningful than ever! Especially the bridge: "And who cares about the thing I did that night? So what? Maybe Luna had it right. And who cares if I'm coming back alive? So what? At least I have the strength to fight!" Awesome!
Greensky02 I agree I sat there in front of my TV staring screaming that they told me , at least in my mind what's to come. rumor is that there are 7 expansions 3 of them you get to play the Bros and they are all trying to bring noctis back. I would be happy with that after 100 hours of game play I have grown emotionally attached to my character he can't just be dead, gone for good you know. The line of 'who cares if I'm coming back alive' makes complete sense with this idea. I don't know about the other 3 maybe you get to play ardyn, luna and Regis or cor that would be cool. I secretly hope not cor though I hate him.
Who are we kidding, they're all good! I know every single song of hers by heart. And all the harmonies. It's bad. XD A few of my personal favorites are Falling, Seven Devils, and Hiding. But I love so many, that it's SO HARD TO CHOOSE. Those are just the first three I thought of. You guys listed some of my very favorites.
So far not much hate towards us FFXV fans here from Flo fans You guys are the best and thanks for accepting us and recommending songs from her she is truly talented and a blessing and so are you guys (:
+McCree you should really check out their albums, iconic songs on all of them. Some to get you started: blinding howl cosmic love heavy in your arms only if for a night no light no light never let me go ship to wreck what kind of man various storms and saints third eye :)
I'm crying. Not only because it's from one of my favorite bands, but also one of my favorite franchise games. And this song is amazing, it filled me with hope and energy to face a hard day. Florence + The Machine is a stress/depression/anxiety relief for me, and I couldn't be more grateful. This song is amazing, and I can't describe on words on how much this is wonderful
Never in my life had i ever heard a more incredible and final end credits song, it just sings Finality you need to end a game with to make you feel like its truly over.
+James Stine Just sounds like what's being talked about. Especially considering the previous line and that Noctis and Stella were going to fight. I think Noctis will end up having to kill Luna and this line is about him trying to justify it to himself.
It's astonishing that they had a song this amazing in the wings and it doesn't play at all during the endgame. You have to discover it by accident in the credits option in the menu. What a wasted opportunity! Simultaneously uplifting and devastating. This is up there with the use of "My Hands" in FFXIII, or the ending theme of FFX, in terms of just utterly destroying the listener with an emotional response. This right here is why FF games are in a class apart from other video RPG's / adventure games. Masterful!
I'm 99% sure that Florence is a real life White Mage that joined up with a band of Bards because she got tired of conventional healing. When your singing is literally summoning a thunderstorm pitter pattering and moving things around to the beat of your music in near perfect harmony, there's gotta be some mad magic involved
I discovered them through the Game of Thrones season 2 trailer. Haha. Florence Welch is amazing! Check out the song "Sweet Nothing" that she did with Calvin Harris!
I found them in VMA MTV in 2010 when they were nominated for "video of the year" for their amazing video/song "dogs days are over", since that moment I can't stop listening to them. You guys have been living under a rock, but I'm glad you discovered them now. Never is too late!! #enjoy
I had a friend that died in 2018. Was driving to work one day, when this song came on from my playlist. Had to stop near the side of the road, because I couldn't stop crying I know the song had nothing to do with her, but it still reminded me so much of her.
Still listening to this masterpiece is 2024. It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this it always gives me chills. Florence voice is magic in this. Those vocals and the range especially at the beginning there. ‘Oh, who decides from where up high? I couldn't say "I need more time" Oh, grant that I can stay the night Or one more day inside this life’
all the bad options when noctis is talking to gladiolus honestly have some of the most truth to them noctis is never able to express himself or nobody wants to hear it and says man up... "above all else I'm just a man..." and "you think I like seeing everyone die for me?"
I LOVE IT! It sounds straight out of Ceremonials. It has that epic, operatic quality that I think Florence is at her best doing. Don't get me wrong her recent album was beautiful, but this is perfection!!!
Welcome, FF fans! Welcome back, Flows! And hello to those who love both. :) Let's all have a great time. If you've never played a FF game, I highly recommend you doing so! They're my favourite JRPGs. If you've never heard a FATM song other than these 3, if you like what you hear, take a few minutes to go through some songs on the channel. You won't regret doing either!!
Dudes watching this video, I only go to metal shows, generally, but a girl I was dating took me to see Florence; and its STILL my favorite live show. Anyone who hasn't seen it; go to their show. Florence is incredible live. I didn't even know who I was seeing and im still preaching for them.
Most of us believe her voice deserves to be a part of the FF universe she has amazing talent and an amazing voice! We're glad we're welcomed into her universe as well :)
This is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard included in a video game. If it weren't for FFXV, I would have never heard of Florence + The Machine, but now that I have, I am enchanted by her voice. Please ignore the childishness of some of my fellow video game fans bringing argument to the comments. This song is beautiful and brought a new depth to the game we love.
And here I am again. This song got me through my best friend's death in 2019, and now it's getting me through my father's death on September 19, 2023. Too much is never enough when it comes to the love we have for our family and friends. He was a veteran so he is being buried in the same national cemetery as my best friend. "A hundred flags flying in a field"... still gets me EVERY TIME. RIP Dad, I love you forever. Until Valhalla.
I only just read your previous comment and am saddened to scroll down to read this one, too. I'm a stranger, 2 months late , but for what it's worth; my condolences. For your best friend and your dad. I wish you healing and peace.🕊

I was disapointed this didn't play at the end of FFXV, I thought the lyrics all pointed to that being the case. I loved Stand By Me, but I thought this would have been perfect for the ending for sure.
How there can be so much beauty in a song? Every time i hear this song it brings tears to My eyes, one of the most underrated Florence songs. Florence one of the most underrated artists.
Listening to Florence and the Machine's songs takes me to another world. For a few minutes, all the stress and worries in the world just disappear and I get to experience pure happiness. I'm so glad I stumbled across them
"One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field One day, felt it let go of me" Family and Friends letting go of Noctis after his passing. FFXV was an emotional game for sure
Cause it's our goddess Florence singing a song for a game we've waited for 10 years now, wait till kh3 comes out hopefully they can get utada hikaru to do another song
mrtoolegittoquit2 you left out the word "usually", besides, if you go onto any musician's/mixer blog, they have discussions on it and most still consider it an album since ultimately an album is a collection of songs- "one or more recordings (as on tape or disc) produced as a single unit " (Merriam-Webster dictionary). But this is besides the overall point- YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO IT IN THE REGALIA ;-;
***** No, not BESIDES THE OVERALL POINT....that's usually said by doofus' who just got roasted and have little for rebuttal....you got toasted buddy, let me go get the CREAM!
This song is absolute beauty. It feels reminiscent of songs like Eyes on me from FF8 and Melodies of life from FF9. This could definitely be the ending theme song or perhaps play at Noct and Luna's wedding.
I've had FFXV since the day it was released and this is the first time I've heard this song. I feel bad that I've missed out for so long, yet also happy that FFXV is still giving me surprises every time I come back to it. One of the best games I've ever played and with treasures like this, it has one of the best soundtracks ever. ❤
Here are the true lyrics, guys! And the expectation it weighs heavy 'Till it's banging on my eyelids Retreating in cover and closing the curtains One thing's for certain, oh 10 years like this pass so strangely Somewhere between sorrow and bliss Oh, who decides from where up high? I couldn't say "I need more time" Oh, grant that I can release the game Or one more patch inside this disc Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months Never enough Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months Never enough" Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months Never enough Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months Never, never, never enough
Lucky me.. i buyed the game, and i finished the game 1 year ago. What a masterpiece.. and its my fav FF Games now. The story... the world.. friendship.. everythings was beautiful, the main villain Ardyn is a good character.. play the dlc if you want ardyn backstory i recommended to buy the dlc.
I... just... can't! This is too beautiful! FFXV, it's been 10 years coming! I CANNOT WAIT. This will truly be Square Enix's Magnum Opus, Final Fantasy's shining lexicon, the Polaris of video games. From a Final Fantasy fan to you, bring us home Square.
+Rōnin of NIOH I feel the same Ronin of NIOH, I hope the game your name hails from ends up being heavenly. But remember to steel yourself for the failure of FFXV, that way when it DOES succeed, you can rejoice, and if it doesn't your just chill... kinda chill.
FFXV was not a letdown to the vast majority of people. Perfect? No. An incredible game and a great Final Fantasy entry? Yes. Still my favorite, just beating out XII.
I beat the game awhile ago, actually I've done it twice. Now I've been waiting for more dlc and grinding for more xp through the timed quest. Then I come back to this song and I'm reminded of how heavy and impactful this game is, I remember what happened at the end of the game. I'd be lying if I said this song didn't punch me with a fist full of feels.
This song is like the story of my life. (I couldn't say I need more time.)Always looking for the next thing to do tomorrow and feeling like I'll never do enough even with the years I have left. (Oh who decides from way up high) Me deciding not one person can give me value. (Too much is never enough.) Giving up or being overwhelmed will never do me any good.
It's not even funny how happy I was when I heard that Flo had agreed to do some music for FFXV. One of my favorite artist combined with my favorite game franchise. I love how she even makes a reference to Luna, as if the song is from Noctis' perspective.
@@shadow55552 That’s what I’m confused about, are there 2 credits in the menu? Because the one I saw had a version of “Noctis” playing in the background, not this song.
me: haha this probably isn't as sad as Stand by Me florence: the crown, it weighs heavy me: I WANT TO DIE!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!! WHY DID I PLAY THAT GAME OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
FFXV couldn't have been put together more beautifully that it was, and the emphasis on the appreciation of having such a great bond with your closest friends is really what got me. Such a masterpiece, it was, and these songs by Florence and the Machine make it even harder for me to take. Loved it so much :)
This universe is 14 billion years old ....and we are lucky enough to be alive with Florence ....
Correction, the universe is ~14 billion years old, the Earth is just 4 billion, but yes ;)
super loved what you said, imagine from 14 billions probability combainations ...
Stop trying to state things you think you know...
Just listen as a World Is For Her King...
And A King For Her World!
Amen. “A year like this passes so strangely”
Considering modern man has been around for about 200,000 years, not that high of a probability.
I was not emotionally prepared for this heavenly track.
Same
We're never prepared for any track preformed by Florence.
@@Eros12289 That right there is exactly how I feel
Whoever is? ❤🙃
Same here...
FFXV was beautiful in the way it depicted not only friendship but that destiny can be cruel and there's sometimes never enough time to do everything or express everything.

Thank you for saying this. I'm sad seeing all the hate towards FFXV and Noctis. He's a tragic character, not a spoiled brat.

Whoever choosed Florence and the machine for FFXV,
DESERVE A MEDAL
I am a Final Fantasy fan as well as a Florence + the Machine fan. I am ridiculously happy about this soundtrack.

Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
And who cares about the thing I did that night?
So what, maybe Luna had it right
And who cares if I'm coming back alive?
So what, 'least I have the strength to fight
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
A hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
I just realized this song is about Noctis burden of being king and coming to terms with dying.
This comment got me shedding a tear
I teared up :(
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
They are preparing a DLC in which the game will get a happier ending.
Jan Kačerovský it got fuking cancelled! I’m so pissed! Bring me back mah brothers!!!
this is true Florence & the Machine essence. I was already missing this powerful ballads.
"Who cares about the thing I did that night?"
she makes me feel every hair on my skin
Dude, as I was reading your comment I also was having chills and feeling all the hairs in my arms haha so damn good and cool. I truly love this song, but sometimes it’s too much and I can’t listen, i feel so much, tied with the game too. What a lovely and wonderful, if flawed, experience. I cherish it.
F
My best friend of 32 years died this past June. I feel like he was my Noctis and I am silly Prompto. I miss him so much. He is buried in a national cemetery. "A hundred flags flying in a field"....
Gets me every time.
I'm sorry for your loss. He'll rest in peace.
I am so sorry for your loss. If you want another shelter, I think you might like June, from Florence + The Machine. I hope it can bring any comfort to your heart. 🤍
Yeah, that's the line that does me in each time.
I am so sorry for your loss. I celebrate your friendship, your friend and you. ❤
Despite the multitude of different songs from this wonderful group and artist, this has to be my favorite. Not because of the game, but because there is something so terribly beautiful and sad about this song and that feeling of struggle portrayed by the lyrics. This song resonates with me in a way that I can’t put into words; like I needed to hear it and understand it. It is simply amazing and I still keep it in my active playlist wherever I go.
The soundtrack for FFXV never fails to make me cry. Florence is absolutely divine, they were right in choosing her to sing these songs.

“A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss”
today is a good day for music
Agreed:)
And FFXV fans :D
I agree ❤️
Yeah this an awesome
First green day, then young the giant, also one republic, now this ^.^ AWESOME!
After beating FF XV, the lyrics are more meaningful than ever! Especially the bridge:
"And who cares about the thing I did that night?
So what? Maybe Luna had it right.
And who cares if I'm coming back alive?
So what? At least I have the strength to fight!"
Awesome!
Greensky02 shuut up man! i'm gonna cry again :'(
im already doing it.
I thought I'm already over the freaking emotional wreck ffxv brought me... but whenever I hear this song... I still freaking cry 😢😢
mmboy089 I feel exactly the same. 😭
Greensky02 I agree I sat there in front of my TV staring screaming that they told me , at least in my mind what's to come. rumor is that there are 7 expansions 3 of them you get to play the Bros and they are all trying to bring noctis back. I would be happy with that after 100 hours of game play I have grown emotionally attached to my character he can't just be dead, gone for good you know. The line of 'who cares if I'm coming back alive' makes complete sense with this idea. I don't know about the other 3 maybe you get to play ardyn, luna and Regis or cor that would be cool. I secretly hope not cor though I hate him.
Final Fantasy XV is going to make me tear up
Definitely check out her song "Sweet Nothing" that she did with Calvin Harris!
+alex fields ceremonials deluxe is the best album I've listened to
I'd suggest what water gave me, lover to lover, bedtime hymns, and what kind of man to start with.
Who are we kidding, they're all good! I know every single song of hers by heart. And all the harmonies. It's bad. XD A few of my personal favorites are Falling, Seven Devils, and Hiding. But I love so many, that it's SO HARD TO CHOOSE. Those are just the first three I thought of. You guys listed some of my very favorites.
never let me go. that shit is a spiritual experience.
So far not much hate towards us FFXV fans here from Flo fans
You guys are the best and thanks for accepting us and recommending songs from her she is truly talented and a blessing and so are you guys (:
:)
It's high noon :D
Except from some other guy who dissed flo fans because she's trashy pop and it's all thanks to square Enix for making this song and not flos
+Don Li (RoundPikachu) ahh there's always going to be that ONE person but honestly this comment section is 99.999% clean and amazing
+McCree you should really check out their albums, iconic songs on all of them. Some to get you started:
blinding
howl
cosmic love
heavy in your arms
only if for a night
no light no light
never let me go
ship to wreck
what kind of man
various storms and saints
third eye
:)
I'm crying. Not only because it's from one of my favorite bands, but also one of my favorite franchise games. And this song is amazing, it filled me with hope and energy to face a hard day.
Florence + The Machine is a stress/depression/anxiety relief for me, and I couldn't be more grateful.
This song is amazing, and I can't describe on words on how much this is wonderful
Never in my life had i ever heard a more incredible and final end credits song, it just sings Finality you need to end a game with to make you feel like its truly over.
I am crying because of this. So pure.
When she said Luna's name I was like "Oh? OH. OOOH THAT'S SO COOL."
This song is beautiful, I love this just as much as 'Stand By Me'. I love how Florence sings it like it's from Noctis' perspective too.
3:37 "Maybe Luna had it right and who cares if i'm coming back alive, so what at least i had the strength to fight"
Now that you say it, yeah it is "Maybe"
Oh shit, does Luna die?
+James Stine Just sounds like what's being talked about. Especially considering the previous line and that Noctis and Stella were going to fight. I think Noctis will end up having to kill Luna and this line is about him trying to justify it to himself.
I have just heard that line, unconsciously when I saw your comment hahahahah
***** Regis is voiced by Sean Bean in the movie. He's toast.
And I see no reason why Noctis and Luna can't fight.
It's astonishing that they had a song this amazing in the wings and it doesn't play at all during the endgame. You have to discover it by accident in the credits option in the menu. What a wasted opportunity!
Simultaneously uplifting and devastating. This is up there with the use of "My Hands" in FFXIII, or the ending theme of FFX, in terms of just utterly destroying the listener with an emotional response. This right here is why FF games are in a class apart from other video RPG's / adventure games. Masterful!
I'm 99% sure that Florence is a real life White Mage that joined up with a band of Bards because she got tired of conventional healing. When your singing is literally summoning a thunderstorm pitter pattering and moving things around to the beat of your music in near perfect harmony, there's gotta be some mad magic involved
Flo really pulled a Phil Collins on this one: she didn't have to go so hard for a game soundtrack but goddamn I'm glad she did
Phil Collins did a song for what game?
isn't this just glorious?? hands down one of the best florence songs ever
AGAIN, QUEEN FLO SLAYS US ALL AGAIN
SHES KILLED ME AND BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE!!
OMG FACTS
WTF are you saying. Queen? Seriosly??!!
She is a GODDESS!!
SHE SAVE
SHE SLAY
BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY SHE BAE
Funny how I discovered this band throught the FFXV Stand By Me trailer and now they're my favourite band.
man, I envy you... You've got so many fatm song to listen to for the first time
+The Pantaloon I know right! Wish I could go back to when I first heard them.
I discovered them through the Game of Thrones season 2 trailer. Haha. Florence Welch is amazing! Check out the song "Sweet Nothing" that she did with Calvin Harris!
I found them in VMA MTV in 2010 when they were nominated for "video of the year" for their amazing video/song "dogs days are over", since that moment I can't stop listening to them. You guys have been living under a rock, but I'm glad you discovered them now. Never is too late!! #enjoy
I discovered her from SNL when she was singing live her was voice without any music was pure heaven and since then I listen to Florence.
Final Fantasy 15 brought me here. Flo has a voice of a angle and her songs are divine.
how does an angle have voice? hmmmm....
The voice of Kurt Angle
90 degree angle ofc
Louder than sirens, louder than bells. Sweeter than heaven, hotter than hell.
+jamiel teh angelz choir stupid
I had a friend that died in 2018. Was driving to work one day, when this song came on from my playlist. Had to stop near the side of the road, because I couldn't stop crying I know the song had nothing to do with her, but it still reminded me so much of her.
me: *listens this for the twentieth time*
me: too much is never enough
lol
You know a song is beautiful when it makes you feel something you can't explain even to yourself.
Seriously, having the 2 things I'm a fan of: Final Fantasy & Florence + The Machine work together is so exciting.
every time i heard this songs, i feel like i wanna say
it was pleasure to journey with you until the end, your majesty may you all rest in piece
Beautiful words, same felt here!
Привет всем ✌🏻
'What can I say?... You guys... are the best. Thank you.'
@@ScourgeGlaive dont hurt me like this-😭😭😭
@@ZA-lx8yz Well... it will never stop to hurt. Never...
Still listening to this masterpiece is 2024. It doesn’t matter how many times I listen to this it always gives me chills. Florence voice is magic in this. Those vocals and the range especially at the beginning there.
‘Oh, who decides from where up high?
I couldn't say "I need more time"
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more day inside this life’
all the bad options when noctis is talking to gladiolus honestly have some of the most truth to them noctis is never able to express himself or nobody wants to hear it and says man up... "above all else I'm just a man..." and "you think I like seeing everyone die for me?"
I LOVE IT! It sounds straight out of Ceremonials. It has that epic, operatic quality that I think Florence is at her best doing. Don't get me wrong her recent album was beautiful, but this is perfection!!!
Welcome, FF fans! Welcome back, Flows! And hello to those who love both. :)
Let's all have a great time. If you've never played a FF game, I highly recommend you doing so! They're my favourite JRPGs. If you've never heard a FATM song other than these 3, if you like what you hear, take a few minutes to go through some songs on the channel.
You won't regret doing either!!
Thank you, sir! Long-time FF fan here. Absolutely ADORE this song. Will be listening to more F+TM in the future!
what is "FF"?
Final Fantasy I suppose
it stands for Final Fantasy! I love Florence instantly after Stand by Me!
Dudes watching this video, I only go to metal shows, generally, but a girl I was dating took me to see Florence; and its STILL my favorite live show. Anyone who hasn't seen it; go to their show. Florence is incredible live. I didn't even know who I was seeing and im still preaching for them.
I just went through Stand By Me, I Will Be and got to here.
God, I'm still crying.
Final Fantasy XV, always with me. Always.
we flo fans welcome all of you final fantasy fans. u r welcome:)
Thanks, I was made aware of her due to it, and she's quickly become one of my favorite artists
Most of us believe her voice deserves to be a part of the FF universe she has amazing talent and an amazing voice!
We're glad we're welcomed into her universe as well :)
I'm both a fan of hers since 2009 and a FF since I was a child. Both together is love
I’m late
But thanks god she has a beautiful voice and now I’m full of feelings I don’t know where to put
This is probably one of the best songs I have ever heard included in a video game. If it weren't for FFXV, I would have never heard of Florence + The Machine, but now that I have, I am enchanted by her voice. Please ignore the childishness of some of my fellow video game fans bringing argument to the comments. This song is beautiful and brought a new depth to the game we love.
me before FFXV: this is gonna be amazing!!
me after FFXV: please kill me and end this pain
Come ti capisco..
Omg I’m laughing so hard right now
Between this ending and Type-0, idk how much more I can take with this damn series, but I love it lol.
After ending the game, the movie and the dlc and the songs hit different 😢
And here I am again. This song got me through my best friend's death in 2019, and now it's getting me through my father's death on September 19, 2023. Too much is never enough when it comes to the love we have for our family and friends.
He was a veteran so he is being buried in the same national cemetery as my best friend.
"A hundred flags flying in a field"... still gets me EVERY TIME.
RIP Dad, I love you forever. Until Valhalla.
I only just read your previous comment and am saddened to scroll down to read this one, too. I'm a stranger, 2 months late , but for what it's worth; my condolences. For your best friend and your dad. I wish you healing and peace.🕊
Lyrics ^^
And the crown it weighs heavy
'Till it's banging on my eyelids
Retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One thing's for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
Oh, who decides from where up high?
I couldn't say I need more time
Oh, grant that I can stay the night
Or one more day inside this life
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
Oh, you wondrous creature
Coming up who we are
'Cause I'm retreating in covers and closing the curtains
One thing's for certain, oh
A year like this passes so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
And who decides from where up high (one other year, a hundred flags flying in a field)
I couldn't say I need more time (one day, felt it let go of me)
Oh, grant that I can stay the night (one other year, a hundred flags flying in a field)
Or one more day inside this life (one day, felt it let go of me)
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
And who cares about the thing I did that night?
So what, maybe Luna had it right
And who cares if I'm coming back alive?
So what, 'least I have the strength to fight
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never enough
Too much, too much, too much, too much, too much
Never, never, never enough
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
A hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me
I was not expecting this. Such a sweet surprise! Florence's voice is so soothing to the ears❤️
we need a live version of this
and in the end the wedding bells... i can't take it anymooore
Oh god, didn't notice that. My heart hurts again.
I was disapointed this didn't play at the end of FFXV, I thought the lyrics all pointed to that being the case. I loved Stand By Me, but I thought this would have been perfect for the ending for sure.
sunheart123 It technically does play the end, if you select credits at the new main menu screen.
you can play it in the credits choice from the main menu
One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. Florence is a Goddess.
How there can be so much beauty in a song? Every time i hear this song it brings tears to My eyes, one of the most underrated Florence songs.
Florence one of the most underrated artists.
Listening to Florence and the Machine's songs takes me to another world. For a few minutes, all the stress and worries in the world just disappear and I get to experience pure happiness. I'm so glad I stumbled across them
When this shows up on your recommended.... its like a thousand angel kisses on your lips. Just happiness.
HEY WHAT'S THIS BEAUTIFUL SURPRISE
❤
"One other year, a hundred flags flying in a field
One day, felt it let go of me"
Family and Friends letting go of Noctis after his passing. FFXV was an emotional game for sure
The theme of a king, a True King.
I think this is the most positive comment thread on youtube I've ever seen.
Cause it's our goddess Florence singing a song for a game we've waited for 10 years now, wait till kh3 comes out hopefully they can get utada hikaru to do another song
"So what, maybe Luna had it right" Ayyyyyeeeeeeee. This is amazing!
Jason Macumber Same though
rvtres same!
Jason Macumber hahaha haha hahah....My feelings
When the credits rolled and this song came up i cried like a bitch knowing this song is about noctis. This game made me a fan of Flo
Luna...Dad...Prompto, Ignis, Gladio. I Love you Guys. *Cries*
Im proud of you...My son.
We got your back Noct !
It's good to hear.
Huh...You spit it out.
Well...what can i say? you guys, Are the Best.
regis: walk tall my son
10 years later at the same spot
noct: and walk tall my friends.....
father ..i walked tall
:'(
All the tears...
Damn! That hit hard!
Shut up, Jon. You don't no nothin.
Annddddd there goes my heart.
I think Final Fantasy XV is gonna make me cry after I complete it but we'll see.
I wish you could play this album in the Regalia ;-;
Not album.....only 3 songs....FacePalm
mrtoolegittoquit2 It's still an album, it would just be considered an EP album
Literal definition-"unqualified as an album"....so yes EXTENDED PLAY.....but not ep ALBUM.....hahaha!! Nice try bucko! SMFH
mrtoolegittoquit2 you left out the word "usually", besides, if you go onto any musician's/mixer blog, they have discussions on it and most still consider it an album since ultimately an album is a collection of songs- "one or more recordings (as on tape or disc) produced as a single unit " (Merriam-Webster dictionary).
But this is besides the overall point- YOU CAN'T LISTEN TO IT IN THE REGALIA ;-;
***** No, not BESIDES THE OVERALL POINT....that's usually said by doofus' who just got roasted and have little for rebuttal....you got toasted buddy, let me go get the CREAM!
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my Gooood!
aaaaaaaaah
Never heard this person/group before or played the game, but I love this song! Her voice is so powerful and captivating!
So you should heard more of her
What a beautiful song!!
In love with this powerful voice.
This song is absolute beauty. It feels reminiscent of songs like Eyes on me from FF8 and Melodies of life from FF9. This could definitely be the ending theme song or perhaps play at Noct and Luna's wedding.
Wouldn't Stand By Me be a better wedding song? This sounds better as an ending theme.
Stand by me is more of a friendship/comrade song. Their wedding could very well be the ending and this could play during it.
To be real with you, I don't think there will be one unless it's like a Gurren Laggan one :/
That is if both of them make it out alive...
I swear for that 5mins 50secs I was in HEAVEN and it felt frigging great
Thanks Final Fantasy for bringing me here to discover this beautiful artist.
I describe some of my favorite singers as "queens" but I describe Florence as a full on Goddess.
I've had FFXV since the day it was released and this is the first time I've heard this song. I feel bad that I've missed out for so long, yet also happy that FFXV is still giving me surprises every time I come back to it. One of the best games I've ever played and with treasures like this, it has one of the best soundtracks ever. ❤
It's in the extended credits in the menu, really beautiful video showing all your trip
Here are the true lyrics, guys!
And the expectation it weighs heavy
'Till it's banging on my eyelids
Retreating in cover and closing the curtains
One thing's for certain, oh
10 years like this pass so strangely
Somewhere between sorrow and bliss
Oh, who decides from where up high?
I couldn't say "I need more time"
Oh, grant that I can release the game
Or one more patch inside this disc
Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months
Never enough
Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months
Never enough"
Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months
Never enough
Two months, two months, two months, two months, two months
Never, never, never enough
Slow clap.
Im not bothered by the extended release but that was entertaining thanks, haha :)
She is such a gift to this century's music. She's our Janis Joplin. And just as underrated.
Lucky me.. i buyed the game, and i finished the game 1 year ago. What a masterpiece.. and its my fav FF Games now.
The story... the world.. friendship.. everythings was beautiful, the main villain Ardyn is a good character.. play the dlc if you want ardyn backstory i recommended to buy the dlc.
I... just... can't! This is too beautiful! FFXV, it's been 10 years coming! I CANNOT WAIT. This will truly be Square Enix's Magnum Opus, Final Fantasy's shining lexicon, the Polaris of video games. From a Final Fantasy fan to you, bring us home Square.
amen
+Rōnin of NIOH I feel the same Ronin of NIOH, I hope the game your name hails from ends up being heavenly. But remember to steel yourself for the failure of FFXV, that way when it DOES succeed, you can rejoice, and if it doesn't your just chill... kinda chill.
I bet you feel dumb a year later since 15 was such a letdown :(
FFXV was not a letdown to the vast majority of people. Perfect? No. An incredible game and a great Final Fantasy entry? Yes. Still my favorite, just beating out XII.
Especially with all of the content out now, ffXV is fantastic and one of my favorite games of all time.
her voice should be considered a national treasure for great Britain
I beat the game awhile ago, actually I've done it twice. Now I've been waiting for more dlc and grinding for more xp through the timed quest. Then I come back to this song and I'm reminded of how heavy and impactful this game is, I remember what happened at the end of the game. I'd be lying if I said this song didn't punch me with a fist full of feels.
This song is so beautiful. Just GAH. I can't 😭❤
This song is like the story of my life. (I couldn't say I need more time.)Always looking for the next thing to do tomorrow and feeling like I'll never do enough even with the years I have left. (Oh who decides from way up high) Me deciding not one person can give me value. (Too much is never enough.) Giving up or being overwhelmed will never do me any good.
As I'm sitting here on the train to work on a beautiful sunset it makes me hopeful for the future and for my son/daughter to be delivered safely
i finished the game today... so much feels... thank you for this piece of art that is Final Fantasy XV. thank you.
It's not even funny how happy I was when I heard that Flo had agreed to do some music for FFXV. One of my favorite artist combined with my favorite game franchise. I love how she even makes a reference to Luna, as if the song is from Noctis' perspective.
One of the best ending credits songs in a video game ever and I must say the music in the game is incredible
This should have been the end credits song. I mean, I already felt like my heart was being torn out. Why not?
I know its a bit late, but if you beat the game then go to the credits in the main menu this song is used
@@shadow55552 That’s what I’m confused about, are there 2 credits in the menu? Because the one I saw had a version of “Noctis” playing in the background, not this song.
Final Fantasy XV !! FF for life! Thank you Flo for the great tunes!!!
i knew i was going to love it before i clicked on it
Hhaa! Me too!! x
Same here. i love everything about this.
I get a bit of a Which Witch and Never Let Me Go vibe from this...perfect and powerful...♡
me: haha this probably isn't as sad as Stand by Me
florence: the crown, it weighs heavy
me: I WANT TO DIE!!!! HOLY SHIT!!!!!! WHY DID I PLAY THAT GAME OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!
OH MY GOD SAAAAAMEEE!!!!! ; n ;
She's a bloody legend
god thats relatable
same, mah friend, oh god i feel so empty after the credits roll
I'm never going to be okay after playing that game, florence is also a goddess, she is so pure and heavenly
FF15 hurt me so deep that I heard this wonderful song and those sad scene memories come to attack me
anyone else get an "All This & Heaven Too" vibe? love love love this whole EP, so magical as usual
FFXV couldn't have been put together more beautifully that it was, and the emphasis on the appreciation of having such a great bond with your closest friends is really what got me. Such a masterpiece, it was, and these songs by Florence and the Machine make it even harder for me to take. Loved it so much :)
I swear, I feel like I'm flying every time I hear this woman sing.
Finished this game yesterday, and I keep replaying this song over and over again in tears
...me too
>I need more time
We get it, Tabata. It's OK. Make it a greatest game of this gen.
HOLY MOTHER OF ALL GODS THIS IS INSANELY BEAUTIFUL
I'm crying again, why do I do this to myself? FFXV ending was too much for me to handle xD
right
