Always intimidating to take on such an iconic piece of video game music history, so I hope you enjoy what I did with this mammoth of a battle theme! Let me know how hype you are for the FF7 Remake! As always, the full tab to this cover is available to my Silver Level supporters on Patreon! Thanks for the support! 😊
First off so hyped/desperate for this game I've paid for it 3 times to ensure in the current state of things that I get it day 1. Second you knocked this so far out of the park it landed in the other teams home field! Very well done as always. Gave me chills.
This (almost impossibly) captures the charm of the original, the suave feel of the remake, and the bravado of his own style. Masterfully made, I must say. You’ve done this piece justice.
You are definitely the best cover musician on TH-cam. You even manage to make my children (6 and 10 years old) begging for you music several times!!! Great job
Teach your kids instruments from a young age, it trains their brains which means they can get better result at school without studying alot. It was proven by science so I suggest you learn them to play an instrument they love. It seems they love electric guitar?
Broooooo i hope you blew up off of these videos. I have so many of your songs on my spotify playlist. Youre the best to ever do it man with Toxic being neck and neck with you for me. You were my introduction to this genre that i didnt even know existed. Star Fox Corneria brought me in. Maaaaan im so grateful that you choose to make these tracks. Just so you know how varied your fan base is, im a veteran, who joined the air force as explosive ordinance disposal, im from south central, and im a union construction worker. You have fans from all over bro thank you for doing what you do.
What's fantastic about this, is that this was composed by a Japanese guy, and is being covered by a westerner. Music truly is the universal language. Awesome cover dude!
I've heard a *lot* of covers and arrangements of this song over the years, and I have *never* heard one quite so perfectly high energy as this one. This really captures the "heroes in a fight for their lives" feel
Masterpiece again. Could you do a full version of "Force Your Way" from Final Fantasy VIII? Really liked the short part in your boss battle theme video.
This might just be the best version of this song I've ever heard. I've heard a lot of metal covers for this song, but this one is just absolutely stunning!
I was in middle school when FF7 first came out. I’ve always loved the music of the FF games, 7 in particular. I’ve heard a million renditions of this song. This was by far the best. Kudos.
Hey man, I know this is a late comment ...but my wife and I used this as a song in our wedding. We used it for when we walked away from the altar. Thank you for making such a badass version of this theme and please continue to make more!
I can't believe I have listened to this for years and never commented. It's far overdue. This is simply the best cover of Those Who Fight Further I have ever heard. I often play this on repeat while driving or even more apropos, while studying historical swordsmanship
@@averagememer9373 Crypt of the Necrodancer has a couple tracks made by Jules and, if memory serves, the entire Cadence of Hyrule soundtrack involved Jules. th-cam.com/video/4qcBCxTB8oI/w-d-xo.html
When I thought you can't make this song any more hardcore and badass. You have proven me wrong! I love it, I listen to this instead of the in game music when I'm in a boss fight for the FFVII remake and when I'm boss battling the gym.
I have to say that was epic! If you read this jules please please consider doing the ff8 battle and boss battle themes, I’ve heard others try and they are good, but you’re the only one I can trust to nail them. Hope all is well.
I can say without a shadow of a doubt that you nailed this piece, dude! The slow build-up of the drums at the beginning, the ear-piercing wail of the guitar, all of it was perfectly done. I honestly think Nobuo would be pleased with this cover! Keep rocking and stay healthy, Jules!
Ladies, gentlemen, and distant watchers... We gather today for many reasons. Love of FF7, Cloud bringing home Alpharad's Lightlocke at last, and of course one of gaming's greatest villains of all time joining the roster. With all the hell and despair we have seen, let us come together in these few moments and feel the joy. The road has been long, and many limits still have yet to be broken. For the end of this year, and whatever lies beyond it, all we can say is... We are Those Who Fight! Let the Battles Begin!
Your music and videos are always great. Can’t believe you only have 300k subs. Anyways keep up the great work my dude, this was VERY epic to hear and watch. 100% ready for the remake.
@@ArchasTL it's not a cover when the performer wrote the goddamned songs 🤦🏼♂️ Nobuo Uematsu started The Black Mages *_specifically_* to play the songs that *_he wrote_* for the Final Fantasy series.
Nieru yeah, I know he did. I guess I just consider derivative work from the source to be a cover regardless of who wrote it and falsely assumed that's how everyone else saw it too. Kinda like how I see Eric Clapton's acoustic rendition of Layla as being a cover of Layla, despite the same guy doing the original. My bad for the confusion. Still not a big deal imo.
I always heavily critique covers of this song during the chorus/breakdown part. 2 background riffs are needed for me to enjoy it and I hate when so many versions leave them out because they are so impactful during that part. Not only do you not dissappoint, but you give it to me twice at the end?! Fucking love it!
Even though its a slightly different version.. The nostalgia is hitting hard! .. All that time spent fighting in the Battle Square coming back to me... lol. ( Several, several playthroughs. ) Really love it.
Jules I owe you a huge apology! I've been following you since your early bids and realised I hadn't subscribed on this account! I will fix this immediately! Absolutely smashed the cover and did it justice! Great Job! 🤘 🤘 🤘
You know this is good you dont need me to tell you that you did a fantastic job with this but I will say I enjoyed it a ton and I appreciate the break I get from everything else when I listen to your music or watch your videos
I've been waiting for the full version of this ever since your top 10 video game battle themes video. You, sir, are a legend. Best battle theme of all time.
I forgot how hard this song hits, and man was this a killer of a boss stage for me. I was Severely under leveled and Ultimecia's Summon Move would kill whatever GF I had equipped. Everytime I got to stage 2 I'd think, "shields up, here it comes!"
I wished for this 5 years ago when you released the Top 10 Battle Themes medley, and ho-leee fuck! You did such a great job! Worth the wait, Jules! Been watching ya for like 7 years (when the DKC2 medley was new, which is, to date, my #1 favorite), and you still keep finding ways to 1-UP yourself.
oh my god I can’t believe it,you literally cover EVERY SINGLE SONG I LOVE,could you please cover drifting souls or one last you from xenoblade chronicles 2 with adriana?You’ve done all the other songs I love,amazing cover btw!!!
My older brother would tell me I wasn’t cool enough to like Final Fantasy music. Now he’s stuck with a wife and kid while I’m free to listen to metal ALL DAY!
Oh man... I believe you have captivated the essence of that theme amazingly! this brings me back FFVII was my favorite game as a little kid growing up.
This piece was masterfully done. Im sure Nobuo himself would be proud, given his own love of rock. I don't normally make requests, but I'd love it if you considered "The Instinct" from Killer Instinct. Always been one of my favorite pieces, and it's got a much smaller fan base in comparison.

It might be intimidating but you always pull through Jules. Keep at it man, we love your work!
Please sir I beg of u to do the definitive metal cover of the megaman x stage select music.
I have my deluxe edition ready to pick up! And this is so awesome man I've always loved this battle theme!
I really kind of don’t get the plot of the franchise but I know how good they are. I’m fucking hyped for this game!🤘🤘🤘🤘
This is how it sounded in my head when I was a Teenager playing FF7 when it first came out all those years ago.
Seconded

This is the theme that plays when you and another person are both eyeing the last copy of FF VII at the store.
I straight up just refreshed my TH-cam recommendations, glad I did, this is EPIC
Ring that notification bell lol
You are definitely the best cover musician on TH-cam. You even manage to make my children (6 and 10 years old) begging for you music several times!!! Great job
Parenting done right :D
You should teach them guitar
If you havent already check out insaneintherain. They do collabs fairly regularly and hes god tier at what he does too.

Yeah elsa from KH3 even got her own movie. I heard it qas pretty popular too.
Sorry everyone im dumb

It's like potato chips to my ears, I just can't stop listening! When the slow season ends, I will become a patreon for sure!
This is so much hype man. I've been listening to it non stop for an hour (or maybe more) at this point.
Masterpiece again.
Could you do a full version of "Force Your Way" from Final Fantasy VIII? Really liked the short part in your boss battle theme video.
Yes please
Same thoughts and feelings here!
Force Your Way is my favourite FF battle theme. I would be supper happy to see Jules do it. I very much second this request!
Agreed!
I would LOVE for them to cover Force Your Way!
i was listening to this song on the OST, and thought to myself "Man, it would sound great if FamilyJules covered this." You did not disappoint.
This might just be the best version of this song I've ever heard. I've heard a lot of metal covers for this song, but this one is just absolutely stunning!
Hell yeah man!
Please do "those who fight further"
This gave serious goose bumps!

Holy shitttttttttt this WAYYYYYY powerful! You mate got yourself a subscriber! FFVII All the way. This is the best battle theme in the whole series
By the time it releases, I will have been waiting over 23 years for this. But now I'm not sure it will be as good as this cover.
The mix sounds absolutely *HUGE*
This song will never, ever, ever get old. Your covers will also never, ever, ever get old.
I was in middle school when FF7 first came out. I’ve always loved the music of the FF games, 7 in particular. I’ve heard a million renditions of this song. This was by far the best. Kudos.
Hey man, I know this is a late comment ...but my wife and I used this as a song in our wedding. We used it for when we walked away from the altar. Thank you for making such a badass version of this theme and please continue to make more!
May I just say? That's badass!
I hope you were holding hands, and in your free hands you each had a weapon.
The industrial clank and the fast picking in takes the face melting up to a new level.
The cello in the backround is a meme 3000 lol.
I can’t say thank you the right way for you doing this
you can really tell how inspired Nobuo Uematsu was by rock music with how well this works.
Awesome job, man. This is hype as hell
I can't believe I have listened to this for years and never commented. It's far overdue. This is simply the best cover of Those Who Fight Further I have ever heard. I often play this on repeat while driving or even more apropos, while studying historical swordsmanship

Thank you Nicolas, very cool!
@@nicolaswarren3453 Actually Crypt of the Necrodancer has the entire soundtrack covered by Jules.
When a remake hits and it hits HARD!!! Well done man! 🤘🖤
They should add this to the current FF7 remakes. I love how you extend the bridge and chorus. Hits so hard!
This made me feel emotions, nothing better than an epic metal cover of already epic battle music.
Now THIS is what I'm talking about
Yeah 🤘🎸
When I thought you can't make this song any more hardcore and badass. You have proven me wrong! I love it, I listen to this instead of the in game music when I'm in a boss fight for the FFVII remake and when I'm boss battling the gym.
I can just imagine the camera panning around Barret as he shoots the enemy and white damage numbers float up the screen.
I have to say that was epic! If you read this jules please please consider doing the ff8 battle and boss battle themes, I’ve heard others try and they are good, but you’re the only one I can trust to nail them. Hope all is well.

A great way to give a final hype boost before the official release date of the Remake :)
honestly, they should have used this for the remake, thats the most epic version i ever heard of this! thanks dude!
What a great fucking job dude. Your arrangements have gotten better and better over the years. Love the creativity and changes you make to each one.

Perfect! Now I can have this stuck in my head during the few moments I'm not playing FFVIIR. Great job as always, thank you for this great version!
At this point, we could just say Remake and use the same number of letters as the abbreviation.

Definitely up there with the Black Mages cover and that's very high praise.
