This one always gave me the shivers. I always thought of Count Dracula's castle with this theme. Your use of vocals adds to the dramatics. Thanks for sharing this.
this is without a doubt one of my favourite pieces of music in the entire series, if not the best, and i can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear a genuinely good updated version. Thank you!
@@Chihiro-Kikuchi I think the same, even the Ultimecias's final form maybe is an reflection of her mental state. Ugly, bipolar, sinistral, evil, and many more.
Well, it’s certainly would’ve made Rinoa not as bland as she already was. Frankly, all the writing in the game is shitty; people who actually take it seriously are freaking dumb.
@@lightningshy5287 haha what seriously pisses me off is the Squall And Rinoa relationship. It goes from:. CD1 Squall: I don't care CD2 Square: I don't cara CD3 Square: I love you
overall i think she is more successful then sephiroth , i mean jeah she didnt throw a meteor, but the meteor didnt kill anyone and she ruled over the world and terrorized it for a while ^^ What ultimecia lacked was a real endgame, its nice to know afterwards that she was always there just as edea but she lacks a endgame. The endgoal she had was fine for the 90s "rule everything"
@@TalesDelma That's because her spot wasn't designed by a mortal mind at all.. Ultimecia is just another victim like all the other witches: the actual villain in FF8 is "The Gift". Furthemore It always existed during the Ages, so considered not himself, but the very Time as a variable.
Wow this is such an epic song by Uematsu (let's face it, he fucking killed it here). And this remake is such a nice enhancement of the flavor of this song.
@@RHH7288 If you spent a good portion of the game drawing from enemies until your spells are at 100, and junction up all your stats, it's a breeze. If you don't, yeah she can be pretty rough. They released a remastered version where you can increase combat speed 3x for much quicker grinding
I hope if they eventually do it, they'll fix some issues with its story which were due to the short development time. Give Ultimecia a reason for doing the "Kompression". I'd make her be somewhat like Squall, if Squall never changed and kept everyone always away from him, and at the end she realized she screwed up her entire life and that's why she wants to destroy time. It'd be interesting to find Ultimecia's Diary and by reading it Squall recognizes that he would screw up his own life if he does not changes his attitude. Or something like that.
This is making me so hyped, i can´t wait to know what Square has prepared us for the 20th years of FFVIII Release next year, i hope they make something good and give FFVIII the recognition it deserves as one of the most epic games of the saga. As always good job making this remakes, you are so good at this.
Well given Sqaure Enix lately, they'll probably just give us a new digital drawing of Squall by Nomura, and say happy anniversary. Even that's pushing it though.
I'm sorry man but I'm pretty sure that Square is not gonna do anything for the 20th anniversary of FFVIII. Nothing major, anyways. I believe it's the least cared after game by Square.
First things first! obligatory amazing track statement, as..well..it is indeed quite amazing. Secondly! seemingly required assertion of what we feel should be your next song to remaster! Evergreen from Castlevania III!
Im currently making the next DnD session for my friends, its an abandoned mansion with lots of Resident Evil like puzzles and traps around. Guess I know which music to play in there hehe.
This sounds a lot more powerful than the original, perfectly representing Ultimecia's power, will and dedication to struggle against her fate. Uematsu's original is less dynamic and makes me think more of Ultimecia's true self and how she experiences isolation and loneliness within her own castle for who knows how many decades.
That beginning is just straight out of Castlevania, love it Wondered why you started with the organs but then the chorus played and I was like "oh ok" and its awesome Tho imo I think the drums dont go well with the chorus.. I think it wouldve been more ominous without the drums in that part. Also the melody transition is a bit off but generally speaking its a good remix that'd fit an ff8 remake
Fucking yes !!!! I knew subscribing to you was the best thing I’ve done all year!!! This music is just chilling in such a great way thanks for all the great music 🤙
Let me give you a sincere critics for this remake as a hardcore fan of FF8. Your remake version is great on its own way, more modernized style. However, it lost some of the authentic essence of this song. This theme represents a mysterious atmosphere, with a little charm, kinda feel both attractive and dangerous at the same time. Your background noise is a little overwhelming the main keys, and by adding more vocal parts, it now feels more intense, which is not quite suitable, the castle is not a massive battlefield, its a lair full of dangers but the dangers are lurking around, not reveal themselves yet. You still keep the gothic vibe in this remake, that's a plus. Everyone can check the Original version here th-cam.com/video/CqtGBR80NWw/w-d-xo.html you guys will notice all the things I've mentioned
Also as hardcore ff8 fan, with this song being one of my favorite tracks, I am forced to agree with this opinion. This theme would fit as a battle theme inspired by the dungeon theme. As if you ran into some sort of "Castle Guard" mini boss who appear as glorified chess pisces before moving forward into the final battle sequences. That being said, this should be best called personal interpretation of the theme rather than a remake or a modernized arrangement. (We both must sound like pricks but, tis not a lie)
It's a nice take on the theme. Sure it lost its original feel, but it's still a lovely remix. I don't think it's a fair criticism unless the creator of the remix intended this remix to have close to the feel of the original. I don't think he was going for that.
I don't think the choir works, Ultimecia was desperately lonely. The original was meant to feel desolate, so those empty spaces in it served a purpose and don't need to be filled out. To me this song was about her and her insanity building over centuries, an obsession with time, death, loneliness, leading to this grand idea of time compression. A single voice might work instead of the choir with less of the space filled in with bassy stuff
“release which seal?”
👉🏻[Item]
[Magic]
[GF]
[Draw]

Limit Break, Magic, Item, Save, Resurrection, Command Ability, Draw, GF..
a nightmare....
try something more challenging:
1. draw
2. item
3. magic
4. gf
5. command ability
6. limit break
7. resurrection
8. save
Bold to assume any of yall can unseal a GF.
"This is it.... Ultimecia is in here"
>[Get it over with, fight her now]
>it's too early to face her
this comment is so underrated
If they'd just paid her the 20 dollars they owed her none of that mess would've happened. But no, so now somebody gotta die.😔
I never got the it's too early to face her dialogue as i unlocked everything prior to arriving. When i say everything i mean EVERYTHING lolz
SeeD…SeeD…SeeD
Every recomment of this comment is so underrated
Never knew this song was missing a choir until you added. Great job.
It's always had a choir.... Just MIDI. And sucked.
Apologies, it was always *supposed* to have a choir... and still would have sucked, at the time.
Castlevania: SeeD of Despair
TheEmule93 kastlevania**
"What is a SeeD? A miserable little pile of Guardian Forces!"
Castlevania: GF of Moon
Castlevania: Symphony of the Witch
Castlevania: Time of Ruin.
That choir and the additional drum makes it even more epic and profound. Just Amazing !
This one always gave me the shivers. I always thought of Count Dracula's castle with this theme. Your use of vocals adds to the dramatics. Thanks for sharing this.
Do you hear the bells toll...The Omega Weapon is waiting.
ah yesss..the godammn light pillar…
...Light Pillar?
Baby work compared to Terra Break.
@@gloweye nah. Terra Break can be negated with defend. Megido Flame will always inflict 9998 damage so unless your at max health your f*****
This half-gothic masterpiece chased me for years! And now I hear this remake of yours... it's amazing! It became epic with a choir.
this is without a doubt one of my favourite pieces of music in the entire series, if not the best, and i can't tell you how happy it makes me to hear a genuinely good updated version. Thank you!
This is by far the best remake by Enrico Deiana, and there are so many great ones to choose from.
OMG!!!! One of my favorites of FF8. Great remake!
@Max Mustermann the "cheesy" parts are there to demonstrate how unbalanced she is.
@@Chihiro-Kikuchi I think the same, even the Ultimecias's final form maybe is an reflection of her mental state. Ugly, bipolar, sinistral, evil, and many more.
Ultimecia may be a pathetically written villain, but her castle music forever lives in my head rent free
They could've used the Rinoa-Ultimecia Theory to make it better, but nah xD
Well, it’s certainly would’ve made Rinoa not as bland as she already was. Frankly, all the writing in the game is shitty; people who actually take it seriously are freaking dumb.
@@lightningshy5287 haha what seriously pisses me off is the Squall And Rinoa relationship.
It goes from:.
CD1 Squall: I don't care
CD2 Square: I don't cara
CD3 Square: I love you

Castlevania : Compression of Time
This is "the" castle theme.
I gotta say though the Harpsichord really makes it amazing
Wow this is such an epic song by Uematsu (let's face it, he fucking killed it here). And this remake is such a nice enhancement of the flavor of this song.
His use of an organ is incredibly creative. This and dancing mad are so unique.
Wtf. Like he ever didn’t kill it?
I had to fight Ultimecia a million times yet this song never got old.
Same, and I never did manage to beat her.
@@RHH7288 I would just say keep trying until she selects the perfect party.
@@RHH7288 u kidding right? Some good stats, lionheart, zell's fist, Irvine lovely bullets and she is dust
@@RHH7288 u can also use holy wars and hero but that's cheating for me. Many use those on omega weapon as well. You are never hit with those items
@@RHH7288 If you spent a good portion of the game drawing from enemies until your spells are at 100, and junction up all your stats, it's a breeze. If you don't, yeah she can be pretty rough. They released a remastered version where you can increase combat speed 3x for much quicker grinding
The composer gave us two pieces of music in one. It’s absolutely genius.
I swear going through the castle and fighting the bosses for hours with this playing I felt like my mind was melting.
As always, it's beautiful !
Adding the vocals, I wasn't expecting that !
More vocals, I love it, and a bit lourder too :D
Hope in Final Fantasy 8 Remake!
I hope if they eventually do it, they'll fix some issues with its story which were due to the short development time. Give Ultimecia a reason for doing the "Kompression".

The theme was just perfect. Then you added a choir. Perfection is overrun
NON HO PAROLE CAZZO, FANTASTICA! e atmosfera ricreata perfettamente ❤
Ultimecia...the perfect witch♥
Please! Someday The Dream will end, please!!
Agree
かっこいいアレンジ!

As always good job making this remakes, you are so good at this.
...now i'm starting to feel old...almost 20 years since FFVIII...oh boy !
Well given Sqaure Enix lately, they'll probably just give us a new digital drawing of Squall by Nomura, and say happy anniversary. Even that's pushing it though.
Yer all the corporate head running square now are destroying this franchise a lot of the gr8s have left
Hey by next year do you mean 2020 or 2019?
I'm sorry man but I'm pretty sure that Square is not gonna do anything for the 20th anniversary of FFVIII. Nothing major, anyways. I believe it's the least cared after game by Square.
This is taking me back to the time i played it on the PSN Emulation Version on PS3. Because thats the only version i had.
Incredible remake
Even though FF8 is not my favourite Final Fantasy, this is just epic.
This theme and edeas theme of yours are by far my favourite, incredible work
This... oh sweet gods! I have been wanting a version of The Castle with a choir for so long! Absolutely amazing!!
I wished this from you. Amazing piece again you created. Thank You
That
Fucking
CHOIR!!!!
YOU GENIUS!!!
First things first! obligatory amazing track statement, as..well..it is indeed quite amazing. Secondly! seemingly required assertion of what we feel should be your next song to remaster! Evergreen from Castlevania III!
Sounds like some Castlevania music now with its very gothic flavour. GOOD STUFF!
Another amazing remix! Have you considered remaking the Shinra Corporation theme?
The Shinra Mansion theme would be amazing
There's a spider sucking your face...
Beautifully well done. Dramatic and powerful. I like it you do a good job
Hello?!! Goosebumps!!
This is what I was waiting for! OMG 😭👌
Enrico, E for EXCELLENCE
I really love the music of this game.
Incrível! Mais uma vez, bom trabalho!
Incredible! One more time, good job!
Im currently making the next DnD session for my friends, its an abandoned mansion with lots of Resident Evil like puzzles and traps around. Guess I know which music to play in there hehe.
Awesome. Thanks for doing this one!
I have been DYING for you to do this one! You are amazing brother and I hope you have a great New Year's!!
I love it! I've been following you for a little while now and it seems you just produce quality every time!
I can feel the meaning of the song, more better than before. The real final boss place.
Holy- This remix -rocks- organs! You've made the haunted castle a better place. Ultimecia will be pleased.
**mashes that like button**
Stunning....simply stunning. I would love to see you remix Somnus from FFXV.
You've made it epic and powerful, also we find in it a very beautiful dark magical touch, the global rendition is awesome, I like it a lot :)
this music always had so much complexity that it kind of outgrew the ps1 soundfont... so hearing the complex layers in this is so nice
This sounds a lot more powerful than the original, perfectly representing Ultimecia's power, will and dedication to struggle against her fate. Uematsu's original is less dynamic and makes me think more of Ultimecia's true self and how she experiences isolation and loneliness within her own castle for who knows how many decades.
If I owned a castle..this would be playing 24/7
Great....so this is where Omega Weapon lives...
This sounds so good
Very good work. Thank you.
THAT REMAKE ENRICO HIT HARD IN THE FEELINS
Best final dungeon theme in history.
Chills from start to finish. CHILLS ON CHILLS @1:42
Dracula should be pissed. Ultimecia's crashing at his pad without asking.
Mundus Dislike this
That beginning is just straight out of Castlevania, love it

Final Fantasy VIII: Overture/Opening Credits next?! Go go go! lol :P
One of the best final dungeons in a JRPG ever.
I love you for this. Hopefully you do ff8 Time Compression and ffx Zandarkand ruins
Would be so great if you would do "Movin'" as well ! But all your remixes are just great, i love it
Awesome. Thank You and Happy New Year!

Some sounds are very similar to Dancing Mad.
Fantastic! Feels like the original but more full I suppose.
Joder! le he dado a like, y lo he quitado solo para poder volverle a dar, absulutamente genial!!!
God dammit 10/10 :D
on my favourite FF end-game dungeon
fuck man! This is by the far best remix of Castle music remix! SE should hire you for a ff8 remake.
Thank you for your wonderful surprises.
This and The Oratory from FFXVI are gothic masterpieces.

Fantastic job! Well done =)
Omfg my favorite song!!!!
Love this well Done
Please could you do judgement day (final dungeon music) from FF7?
Grandissimo lavoro, bravo :)
Incredible job I love this song
wow I got goose bumps. this is greatttt
Best remake!! Nice work
Brilliant!!! Happy new year!! Looking forward to more in 2019
THIS LEVEL was hard asf...
so like, if ultimecia was at home any day, would this be playing casually on a loop?
ジャンクション封印されて難儀したのを思い出すなぁ…
Maravilhoso , não tem como não seguir e curtir o seu trabalho . Muito bom 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This is incredible!
Well done!
Great! Simply Great!
This was fun to listen to!
When you discover that a creature even stronger than the witch lives in the castle...
This is the best thing I've ever heard *_* can you please create the remake musik for FF8 if they ever remake the game like ff7? hyped!
Did anyone else feel the come down when the organ part goes away?
This would match well with the original keyblade graveyard i think
