I'm sure the FF7 remake is great and all, but an FF6 remake is what I'm really waiting and hoping for.
I would cry if they announce it. Seriously. Start crying of just pure joy.
@@ozenky Me too, and prepare my wallet for whatever console it would come out on.
We must wait, for it shall come.
Perhaps remade in the Octopath engine?
Any GOOD FF doesnt have crazy fanbois so i dont expect. But ff4 or ff1 on current gen i would finaly be able to rest in peace.
This. This is what Nobuo heard when he wrote it. This is what we all heard when we played ff6. This is what made us cry like dorks to a midi file and not care. Damn, that man can write music.
Your comment was so spot-on I had to include it when I shared this on Facebook :)
vincent508 Like this song very much.
Yes - remember being so totally blown away by this scene. It was so impressive how it was presented on that 16 bit system - games back then seemed to have so much more heart to them despite how less advanced the systems were.
The whole soundtrack is like an opera with its character motifs, which makes perfect sense since the music has to carry the emotions of the characters without graphics
vincent508 indeed
I was waiting for Ultros to jump down -_-
LOL you just made me spit my tea sir
ahahahaha you made my day.
I love Ultros
+Evelyn L. Firaga? Thundaga? I think you mean Fire 3 and Thunder 3.
Dohiwario Thunder 3? I think that you mean Bolt 3.
+XxParasite I think this shows that I need to play FFVI again.
This was a masterful performance by Sabina Zweiacker and the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra~
... and to think the entire time an Octopus was up in the rafters up to no good. I'm glad no one got hurt.
This deserves more likes lol.
It’s probably because someone security found the letter where the octopus threatened to “jam up your opera”
@@ScottMaughan
And then Setzer swoops in as well at the end!
Their performance is the reason Locke fell in love with Celes.
That octopus made me restart the game from scratch.
She's a GENERAL, not some opera floozy!
greatest reply ever
Celes...
best joke in the game xD
then she starts to sing :p
and yuna is a summoner not a singer! xD
+Soraya M. A quiet and modest Summoner to a gun-totin' pop star. Yeah.. i thought that was the dumbest transformation for a FF character >.>
I don't care what anyone says--FF6 is the BEST in the series! And this song is absolutely stunning!
I'm Anyone, and I tells you: you are right!
FF6>>FF7
We have our favorites. Mine is IV, but VI and VII are my close second.
Clearly you haven't play Final Fantasy IV
I mean.... I love FF X, I was playing through FF VI because of the hype yknow, but my copied crapped out on me. Just bought a copy in the post, can't wait to replay it.
@@LovecraftD I played all except 8, 11, 14 and 15
This is, by far, the best Aria Di Mezzo Carattere I've ever heard.
I do prefer Jillian Aversa's version, but this one is pretty good too.
listen "" tour de japon""in 2004 concert , it's 13 min track , it's the best
J. Holy shit, I would pay so much money for a FF6 remake ;_;
Tour de Japon was incredible except for the soprano playing Maria / Celes (which was a bit lackluster imho). In all honesty, Sabina Zweiacker's rendition is probably the best take on the part.

Amore mio, caro bene
Perché vai lontano da me?
Giurasti un amore, che mai non dovea
Avere fine per noi
Nei momenti di tristezza
Nei momenti di dolore
A te, mia stella, penso
Con infinito ardore
Un legame senza speme
Perché mai dovrei avere?
Che cosa tu vuoi ch'io faccia oramai
Mi devi dire tu
Ti ringrazio, caro bene
Amore mio, vita mia
Al grave doler, al buio timore
Che il cuore mi turbò
Dolcemente, con amore
Hai risposto al mio gridare
Per sempre ognor, per sempre ognor
Qui a me, t'attenderò
My love, dear one
Why do you go so far from me?
You swore a love that should have never
Had an end for us
In times of sadness
In times of pain
I think of you, my star,
With infinite ardor
Why must I have
A bond without hope?
What would you have me do now?
You must tell me
I thank you, dear one
My love, my life
To the grave sorrow, to the dark fear
That disturbed my heart
Sweetly, with love
You have answered to my cries
Forever, every day, forever, everyday
I shall wait for you here
Thank you
@Abraham Campos ahahahaha
@@dosito86 really accurate translation, my dear fellow.
Absolutely mesmerizing. Come on Square, where is our FFVI remake?
Please, no. Pixel graphics were part of the charm, and part of our memories. I don't want lifelike animations I can't empathize with because they'll look fake.
Sad to tell you...it happened. And it looks like garbage.
Look up FF6 on your tablet or on steam and you will see...
Be glad they're not doing it. They'd probably let Susan Calloway sing it and she's absolutely horrible at singing anything other than Answers (and even that song has better fan covers).
FFVI remake didn't happen... it was just a graphics bump and able to do all the extra that was in the game boy advance version. A pure remake would look like FFXV and be insane... but wouldn't work because the battle system just might kill the nostalgia since it's no longer turn based.
Don't give them any ideas. Modern Square would fuck it up.
Finished the game in January but this scene when Celes began to sing... became probably my all time favourite Final Fantasy moment. It's so beautiful.
The entire game is just a perfect theatre play, beautifully written and executed but the opera part just touched our hearts differently than other games are even able to
I finished the game somewhere around 1996 and listening this makes me cry :,)
How crazy our brain had actually heard this while playing FF6 on SENS, such a low tech midi engine... The music is real, regardless of time and media.
low tech midi engine your grandma
もしかして、何百年かしたら、この曲が元はゲームのほんの1シーンでしかなかったなんて、忘れ去られてるかも知れませんな。
素晴らしい舞台でした。bravo!
Do you know Pikachu?
I think that it should be remembered for the individual brilliance of it rather than purely being connected to the game.
@@billchristianson3451😆
I owe you one, so I'm gonna jam up your opera!
Yo!!! Hey there, I love your content👌
Uh oh, I better go warn the Impresario
@@ChristineTheHippie WHAT?!?
_How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, Ultros?!_
I pasted the lyrics in a comment
魂がとろけるような歌声です。FFⅥの音楽は人の感性と想像性が産んだ最高傑作。
I have had the great pleasure of meeting Nobuo Uematsu when I was in Korea during the Piano Collection concert. There I was, a foreigner who spoke the language at a basic level, watching a Japanese man explain things in Japanese while being translated to Korean. I only understood parts of the talk, but I was there for the music. And it was worth it. The man is a genius. He wrote the soundtrack to my youth. Long live Nobuo Uematsu!
Kudos to Sabina Zweiacker for not bursting into tears throughout the entire song bc this song never fails to make me bawl like a little tiny child
FINALLY go to hear this live this past February at SCORE 2023 - they didn't play it as an encore in 2017!
I'd like to say that I sat there stoically and took it all in, but that would be a lie. I cried. I cried my god damned eyes out. Nearly 3 decades since playing the original game, and over half a decade since knowing that SRSO even did a cover of it, that was a *lot* of emotion that night.
where is SCORE?
That last swell at 4:05 brings me to tears every single time
Same. "I'll wait forever more" 😭
スーパーファミコンで出たゲームがここまでのイベントをする事がすげー

いかに植松さんが天才かって事ですよね。
メタルでも、バラードでも、ポップスでも、クラシックでも、オペラですら神曲を作ってしまうんだから。
@@code-Veronica
植松さんの音楽が世界中の人々から愛され続けてるっていうことは本当に素晴らしいですよね。
植松伸夫さんやすぎやまこういちさん、近藤浩治さんといった日本の素晴らしい作曲家達が"ゲーム音楽"という素敵なジャンルを作ってくれた事に感謝したい♡
植松さんザナルガンドにてもたが神曲すぎる
海外の人がこうやって日本のゲームミュージックを舞台でやってくれる事に感激した
It's Italian, bro
@@oliverstaunton10
Yes, he is impressed a foreigner musicians would play a Japanese music from video game on the stage professionally and beautifully. It show that video games are universally loved.
Imagine if Celes really had to pull that off without rehearsal
So much, this comment.
Didn't she?
SkyHazel
I think the point is showing the clear difference between a video game character doing a thing, and a person actually singing opera, and how difficult it would be.
Technically she did this in the game, but she also used her sword to nullify magic attacks. :P
Celes saved the world. I'm sure she was determined enough to pull this off first try
in truth we dont know how Celes spent her private time, its likely she sang to herself or in practice. She wasn't born a General in the service of the Empire, she became that, who knows what her original aspirations were.
I am in love with this rendition. Just utterly magnificent.
And I love the brief nod the orchestra plays of Locke’s theme at 3:30. 😭😭😭
Great ear I missed that and it makes it so much better for me.
I don't think I've ever cried listening to a song before but this has done it.
it's probably one of the most beautiful pieces of final fantasy music ever written.
You really, really, really should listen to actual opera then............
IZn0g0uDatAll I have emotional association with this song. That's why ^^
same here. This song attacked my face with beauty and I wrinkled my nose and couldn't help it. this is an amazing rendition.
Ricky Nuggets calm the fuck down ._.
The 16 people who disliked this need not have a massive weight dropped upon them by a comical octopus.
Now flipped around... 61!
@@zxKAOS1 69 now) nice position
Tell them to kick a tonberry master.
Michael Kowalski the octopus from Parodius Da 🤣
It’ll take him five minutes to push the weight 😂
Good Lord, this was incredible. Goosebumps all over.
心からの感動
涙が自然と出ました
オペラはこんなにも素晴らしいことかと実感しました
20年以上前か。。オペラシーンの記憶が蘇る。美しい
FF6プレイ当時は、こんなシーンを思い描きながら画面にかじりついてました。
３０年たちました
美しい曲、美しい歌声は、
いつまでも時を越えていく
Uematsu Nubou is our century's Mozart or Beethoven. His music is masterful.
何て美しい歌声なんでしょう
スウェーデンさん、素敵な演奏をありがとう♡
(Tack till alla svenskar för deras underbara föreställningar.♡)
♥️🇸🇪🤝🇯🇵♥️
スウェーデンさん？笑
In my opinion this song theme really fit Celes. She was this tough general working for the empire. Deep in her heart she knew somewhere the things they did were wrong. Inside she needed a hero to help her escape and rescue her.
By far the most beautiful love story that the series has crafted
I like how the camera occasionally pans up to show the roof, just to reassure everyone that there isn't an octopus in the rafters.
This woman's voice is utter perfection.
名曲がこんなに壮大になるなんて素晴らしい！
いつまでも語り継がれるよう後世に残したいですね
0:00 Hey I remember this song in the game!
*press play
4:30 *On the ground crying my life out from nostalgia!!!!
LoL. Yep!
日本人としてこの素晴らしい歌を日本が生み出せたことがとても誇らしい。
同感
一度だけ、BRA BRA FF7のライブオーケストラに参加したとき、植松さんの生声を聞きましたが
「僕は若い頃から作曲家になる未来しか見えてなかった」という尾田栄一郎先生と全く同じこと言ってて、やっぱ天才ってこうなるのかなあって思いました。
音の洪水で、もう聴きながら涙、涙でした。やっぱり生オーケストラとかライブいいですよね…
Wow... Locke should be in love.
Well, that ribbon suited her.
Sheinz ayayayay izzat you?
Penta Kid what
Sheinz It's one translation of Locke's reaction to Celes in her Opera gown. I believe it's the Wooley (SNES) one.
AkaiAzul oh ok
sorry xd
I like how they drag Celes into the only opera house in the world and expect her to just be an opera singer. Must be the magicite infusion in her vocal chords.
She likely knows how to project her voice quite powerfully. Though she also sings it in a much lower register than this.
It's kinda weird how all the vocal versions have such a high soprano when the original isn't that high.
More than half of the plot elements in FF6 were forced like that. Video game logic, not cinema logic, was in play there. Gotta roll with it or there wouldn't be a game!
@@BJGvideos ikr. It should be a dramatic soprano. But thats probably why you see so many lyric sopranos covering this. Dramatic sopranos are very rare.
@@mezlabor Dramatic sopranos? Lyric sopranos? I just know regular and mezzo soprano, and something like "coltura" but I know that's not right...
I mean as opposed to an alto or something.
@@BJGvideos so yea you have alto mezzo and soprano. Then soprano is broken down into different parts, lyric, light lyic, coltura, dramatic etc. A dramatic soprano is a type of operatic soprano with a powerful, rich, emotive voice that can sing over, or cut through, a full orchestra. Thicker vocal folds in dramatic voices usually (but not always) mean less agility than lighter voices but a sustained, fuller sound. Usually this voice has a lower tessitura than other sopranos, and a darker timbre. They are often used for heroic, often long-suffering, tragic women of opera. Dramatic sopranos have a range from approximately low A (A3) to "high C" (C6)
One of my favorite songs from my favorite game... *weeps*
it's beautiful to hear a live rendition!
dude I know. This was my childhood.
msolb823 good childhood, 6 was not on my radar until much later; FF Anthologies!
***** mine too, what do you think of Yuna?
You missed out, unfortunately my copy of 6 disappeared after moving out of my mothers house, I still had the box and manual and bought a cart only version. Great game!
This is one of the most beautiful arias every written. Nobuo Uematsu is our era's Mozart or Beethoven.
My dad: If you don't stop playing that damn game, your brain will rot!
That damn game:
and I thought it was beautiful in MIDI
oooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooo ooo oooooooooooooooo
It still is)
Spiritual things are beautiful even in simplicity. The eternal can break through anywhere and surprise us, if we have ears to hear, and eyes to see.
Goosebumps, tears and a smile. All at the same time!
この曲を聴くと、鳥肌が立ってなぜか涙が流れてくる。
ツイフェミかよ草
そいつが感動ってもんさ…
I've just met this song for FF6 in this quarantine... and it brought me to tears... so lovely!!!
You met it? Lucky
Even all the years after playing ff6, I still cry at this scene of the game
Awesome! Also her italian pronunciation is excellent!
That was so beautiful. Brought me to tears.
She can sing, use magic, and saved the world! She's amazing XD
Such an amazing performance! Beautiful!
agreed
Is Beautiful
If they ever do a Remake of FF6 they need to have this version right here. This is beautiful, and perfect.
Absolutely prefer this over the english version.
Even in the game, without vocals and the limitations of the hardware, this wasn't just a Piece of in-game music... It was majestic...
And this performance was stunning, gave me goosebumps and left me speechless... Bravissimo!!!!!
*clicking on the video* "this song was cool, I wonder what it'll sound like in full fledged orchestra..."
*2 minutes in* this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard
This is AMAZING don’t get me wrong. Her performance will bring tears to your eyes. But, it KILLS me that the horn wasn’t included in this version, because it was such a big part of the tempo in the midi. It’s such a needed and integral part of the song and it’s missiiiiinnng 😭
One of the most beautiful and faithful renditions to the original as you can get.
Brilliant. This is brilliant. Shut up, this is brilliant. Nobuo, you legend.
This is absolutely divine. I'm almost in tears from how beautiful this entire arrangement, and that singer, are.
The Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra can do no wrong. Just absolutely beautiful ❤
これはすごい！本物のオペラ歌手が歌うとこうなるのか
I don't know how many times I've watched this. When she reaches the highest note at the end it's so emotional and beautiful I always tear up. And this upcoming February I'm going to see and hear this wonderful singer live singing songs from games like Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and Horizon Zero Dawn.
When she started singing I got so many tingles in my spine. Beautiful!
I remember listening to this over and over and over on my SNES as a little boy and being swept away with the aching sincerity of it, meaning that for me this rendition is truly a boyhood dream made real.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Finally, a performance that does justice to this amazing song. Got a little misty-eyed.
This is a genuinely moving interpretation! The melody is joyous & melancholy at the same time, & this arrangement in particular is beautifully performed by vocalist & orchestra. No matter the language or how many covers exist, I am always swept up by its emotional core. It's hard to believe the music was composed for such an unexpected scene in one of my favorite video games of all time! Thanks for sharing.
I was watching this video, and I accidentally bought an engagement ring to propose to the singer. I caught myself just as I was about to buy a tux for our wedding.
Better buy a "Swedish for Dummies" book also lol
No tux, eh? So you're getting married "in the buff"?
That’s not how love works neckbeard
Only God could created a voice like this. Truly blessed in this area.
Her mastery of legato in an area of the voice that might be troublesome is nothing short of amazing! She could do bel canto literature. And, the music is so beautiful! I really wish there was sheet music for voice and piano. I would love to sing this in my voice lessons! Thanks so much for posting this video!
What a sweet and pure sounding voice.
touching
Very beautiful rendition.
涙出てきた
素晴らしいです！
I cannot love this enough. This was apart of my childhood and thank you so much to the symphony and Sabina for giving this song another life, love you, you incredible genius Nobuo Uematsu.
That was wonderful, very neatly done.
This has moved me and multiple people I know to tears. How brilliant and inspiring and god awfully beautiful.
This was the most amazing thing I have seen in ages. WOW.
Remember playing the game. I was 10, at 12 am night before eid. Still stuck in my mind.
I can't believe this has been on TH-cam for almost two years without me noticing. It's absolutely stunning!
Goodness; I've been seeing her in my music feed for Skyrim for so long that I didn't realize there was more to the performance.
Outstanding job!
This is so good..... brings back a lot of memories !
what a wonderful performance! such a glorious finish!!
This brings back so many memories of playing Final Fantasy 6. The game was epic from start to finish, but the opera scene was memorable in itself.
I love when music gives you the chills. Amazing.
Stunning. Beautiful rendition of this song. Props to the arrangement as well.
Wow! Literally moved to tears. Beautiful.
I love all the newer orchestrated versions of older video game music. It is amazing to hear what the composer heard in their mind vs the limitations of older sound systems.
Я сомневаюсь что композитор тогда слышал это в своей голове. Тот случай когда переиграла и уничтожила)
I had goosebumps while playing this. Great rendition.
This is the first time I ever got choked up hearing this song. This is exactly the way this song deserves to have been performed. Absolutely brilliant!
Man. I can’t watch this without crying.
Wow this is crazy good, even better than the one in the distant worlds tour.
Breathtaking music from an iconic game and unforgettable scene. Also the signer is an absolute goddess.
Wow. I absolutely loved this game growing up, this is definitely one of Final Fantasy series best musical tracks.
How powerful is this, that a grown man is reduced to bawling like a little baby? Words simply cannot describe the feelings that this conveys. Thank you so much.
Impeccable singing
Always brings a tear to my eye.
Greatest moment in video game history bar absolutely none. Uematsu was a genius worthy of all praise.
So beautiful...
I was cleaning when I put this on and I wasn’t expecting this level of amazing. Just a masterful piece conducted by such a beautiful voice I feel speechless. Opera can sometimes sound course and aggressive - but she sings so smoothly and beautiful.
I never played the game but I love the music - but she takes it to the next level. I wish I had a fraction of her talent - but I know I’ll never put the hard work into it that she’s put in to be the best of the best.
What power - to have the ability to move someone so deeply and so meaningfully without even using their native language. It just goes to show that there is something beyond culture which relates us to each other. The human element.
Adding this to my playlist. Thanks so much for the upload! ♥️
Omg how did this not get an ovation???!!?!? Ugh those final notes!! Such beauty
Outstanding performance I've always loved this music
that was beautiful, Bravo
どうして何度聞いても涙が出てくるのだろう…
Listened to a lot of opera during my years on this planet. Never heard or seen a performance more perfect than this.
This is so beautiful to listen to.
