No. This is the soundtrack of "You, being back at home and contemplating what _you __*__did wrong_* and what your "friends" did _do wrong_ (by you). And then you just want to punch something ..(hit a wooden door. 'It gives in, so you don`t hurt yourself) And then /watch?v=qLrnkK2YEcE But, in the end; don`t take everything so seriously.
+Ridalia When you put all your heart into something, people notice. It's not that the triangle overpowers the other instruments, Its that you're giving it an inordinate amount of attention. ..Well, either that or it just happens to be really close to a mic...
I love how everyone claps. It's hitting their nostalgia buttons for those who grew up on the fantasy provided by a simple ps1 game;12 years later. The same people who paid to watch an amazing orchestra perform classics. A true testament to the power of music and its effect on the collective mind. How beautiful, Bravo!
15 year old me: "What an annoying fighting song. The game designers must have brain damage." 38 year old me: "This is one of the greatest musical pieces of my life."
Ohhhhh shhh***t you nailed it! Could be true!! I almost have the same story! 15 year old me i said this is one of the best fighting theme music, now at 35, this is the best masterpiece ever😂❤
@@SethJV Because it takes time, experience and patience to fully comprehend complex music? Also this has far more depth than what's played in the game, making it far more immersive, giving it layers etc.
I have goosebumps. And I smiled when I heard the audience making sounds of "AH!" at the first few seconds, and the smile widened when the cheered at the start.
For many years, this soundtrack and other FF soundtracks randomly appears in my head and gets stuck. I always find myself coming back, cause this never gets old
Everytime I see this, I smile so big. I hear it, and I tear up. This song, and the rest of Final Fantasy's score, holds a special place in my heart. It was my childhood, for the most part, and it taught me many lessons.Nobuo Uematsu is an incredible man
This is probably the best version that I've heard of all the orchestral versions. Some of the other versions sound anaemic. This one feels energetic and powerful. The musicians really went hard on this. Especially the triangle.
I love the slight murmurs in the crowd in the beginning, no I'm not even talking about the eruption of cheers, I'm talking about just before that, like "oh shit, this is about to be epic." But then they couldn't contain themselves and cheered XD
If you've been to one of them and they played this piece, you would know they play the intro video and then time the music with the battle scene. People always cheer right after the music starts. It's in every one of those concert recordings.
When I was kid, I thought this was just boring music But when looking back at this, I realized hey, this was an greatests that was part of my childhood
Regardless of what anyone may ever say, Final Fantasy, has always had the very best music of any game. This, people, is just the FIGHT music. The level of composure and technicality is on par with anything Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Bach, Tchaikovsky, etc. ever wrote. Those classical composers would consider this a formidable challenge to their skill.
Composer is Nobuo but the orchestration has to do with Arnie Roth also, I'm a great fan of the genius of Uematsu but I don't think it can be compared with a great symphony, it has less compositional depth. But one thing is for sure, the old genius composers like Beethoven, Mozart, schubert... they would be surprised with this kind of music, really cinematic and in 19th century as nothing like that, and also they would love beautiful melodies like to zanarkand or Aeriths theme... those are plain genius :')
Non-musicians may not appreciate just how fun this would be to perform for many of these musicians. The fast bombastic nature of something like this is quite different and often more technical than much of the classical stuff they would have been educated on. This type of music is very unique to the gaming medium and rarely would you hear a song like this in a film or tv show which orchestras would be usually performing for when not performing classical stuff for a live audience. The pace and technicality ''feels good'' when playing certain/most instruments involved here. Hard to describe to anyone who doesn't play an instrument.
One of the, if not, THE BEST Battle theme of all battle themes from the FF series... Always gives me the chill hearing this song. Shout out to Triangle-kun who passionately sounded played his triangle. He's the star of this whole orchestra.
+T0rche Well, you don't become a triangle player. You become a percussionist, which involves being able to play several different instruments, including the triangle, very often several of them for each single track. This track is very heavy on triangle (which isn't as easy as it seems, since it can be muted with the other hand and has often complex and/or fast rhythm patterns) but he also plays that... uhm... wind simulator?
+radicaledward84 lol thanks for the info!! Here let me return the favor :) .... I did a little research and it's called an "aeoliphone" or "wind machine". It's especially made to reproduce the sound of wind in orchestral compositions. Wikiepdia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_machine
What I love about the battle music on every FF game is that it has the same beat. No matter what it is, it always has the same beat. Love it! FF8 is my favorite for both game and music. I have the soundtracks for Final Fantasy six, seven and eight. Six is my second favorite
To all the musicians and conductor for this orchestrated song--Love your hard work and talent! For a game thought lost, but never forgotten in my heart and mind--This is an epic game. I'm a veteran of Final Fantasy 8 (FFVIII). Finally, playing FF8 remastered in 2020 on Steam version. My skills are being tested over 20+ years! Heh-heh "Nostalgia"
I believe people's "best" are usually tied with the first FF they've played. My first FF was 8, 7, then 9. I didn't get to play the old ones until the PS2 eras and hence I don't have much memories of them.
+alucard2893 It's not the best but it is one of the very best. Especially because dumb people don't understand the junction system and terrorize the whole game for it. Anyone who says that FFVIII is one of the worst just doesn't get the fairly easy gameplay mechanic. Because it had great music, a good story (even better than VII, even tho it is my favourite) and, till this day, acceptable graphics. The only parts above it are VI and VII. IX and XII are on the same level. X being mediocre at best.
And we surely stole him and stocked 99 magic on our team.This song is printed in my mind for life.i listened it maybe during 2 months constantly 24h/24h, if you calculate how much time i passed on ff8 .Awesome concert !!!
terras theme, rose of may, aeriths theme, one winged, angel FF8 end theme, some really good music in 9 and 10 too. suteki dae nae, zanarkand. NOTHING else sounds like a NOBUO composition in an orchestra its insane to me. I want more!
God I love this song, reminds me of the first time I had played my own game on the PlayStation 1, I was 7 years old the memories man. The entire soundtrack influenced my choices in music genre, final fantasy 8 is the ultimate game from my childhood
The monster that always pops into my mind when I hear this battle theme is that one round floating spinning clock face that you encounter out in the meadowy terrains.
Why can't a fucking UFC fighter or a boxer come out to an epic song like this? In fact, I'm surprised that in all the years of combat sports, that some "weird" eccentric type of fighter HASN'T thought to come out to some video game music. Whether it's orchestral or just straight up chip tunes.
![[UNCUT] The Loyal Pin ปิ่นภักดิ์ EP.4 (4/4)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/d3l5rxl5CVo/mqdefault.jpg)
I listened to this song for 4 hours straight while fighting that damn cactaur. The feels man, hits me right in the feels.
When the crowd started cheering my body got chills!🏆🔥
Wouldn't you cheer, too? I'd be standing up with you! :)
@@RozzDarkly that’s it? I would rugby tackle everyone on the stage
y started luughing and tearing at the same time
Honestly made me really happy. Usually people bash on ff8 so hard i cant imagine any large group of people so happy for ff8
Same i gain 1000 HP + aura effect. Didn't please my random uncounter
When you go outside and you gotta deal with random encounters.
Your picture almost perfectly sums it up xD
...and unskipable dialog. ugh
RAGE!
No.
This is the soundtrack of "You, being back at home and contemplating what _you __*__did wrong_* and what your "friends" did _do wrong_ (by you).
And then you just want to punch something
..(hit a wooden door. 'It gives in, so you don`t hurt yourself)
And then /watch?v=qLrnkK2YEcE
But, in the end; don`t take everything so seriously.
As a person with social anxiety I can say it's accurate af
How is that single triangular sounds so loud almost overpowerd the rest of the instrument.... and that triangular guy is a rockstar!
+Ridalia When you put all your heart into something, people notice. It's not that the triangle overpowers the other instruments, Its that you're giving it an inordinate amount of attention.
..Well, either that or it just happens to be really close to a mic...
Guess because Triangles are made to echo, while most other instruments are only made to hall through the room
apart from the picollo flute and the pipe organ there just isnt anything occupying the triangle frequency range so itll always cut right through.
Because the force is with him
this gotta be one of the best battle themes ever no?
5/4 my dude
100%
Freshminster I’m disappointed your comment doesn’t have more likes. 200 IQ music joke lul
Nope. FF7 has better battle theme.
10 is my all time favorite, but 8 is still great!
One of the best battle music i've ever heard
Yes. This is my favorite. Been listening to this since I was about 10-11 year old (now I am 27).
The crowd had no choice but to applaud the epicness.
I love how everyone claps. It's hitting their nostalgia buttons for those who grew up on the fantasy provided by a simple ps1 game;12 years later. The same people who paid to watch an amazing orchestra perform classics. A true testament to the power of music and its effect on the collective mind. How beautiful, Bravo!
The dude with the triangle... lol... so badass...
Triangle man! You inspire me!
Not the same without him =]
1:02 2:05 The Triangle player is the funnest thing to watch. He must be a *Triple TRIAD* master ;)
right
the hardest part
extrem focus
it was starting at 0.50
Don't forget 1:21 he was rolling a Aeoliphone.
This video makes the triangle look sick as fuck
15 year old me: "What an annoying fighting song. The game designers must have brain damage."

How could you even think this is a bad battle theme? :O
@@SethJV Because it takes time, experience and patience to fully comprehend complex music?
Also this has far more depth than what's played in the game, making it far more immersive, giving it layers etc.
@@SethJVyeah, all of Final Fantasy has amazing music but this is the battle theme that really stands out, this and man with a machine gun
Straight up
I have goosebumps. And I smiled when I heard the audience making sounds of "AH!" at the first few seconds, and the smile widened when the cheered at the start.
I love how happy/excited some of the performers look, especially the guy on triangle
Imagine playing with a full orchestra yet all anyone can talk about for this whole video is tthe Triangle guy, what a legend!
For many years, this soundtrack and other FF soundtracks randomly appears in my head and gets stuck. I always find myself coming back, cause this never gets old

Im pretty sure that's laughter.
yes the entrance drew it
If you've been to one of them and they played this piece, you would know they play the intro video and then time the music with the battle scene. People always cheer right after the music starts. It's in every one of those concert recordings.
I literally cried
Damn, that comment sums it up perfectly.
鳥肌が立ったぜ！！最高にかっこいい！！
When I was kid, I thought this was just boring music
But when looking back at this, I realized hey, this was an greatests that was part of my childhood
One day I'll be in the public, crying front of this beautiful rendition. It will be the best moment of my life for sure.

+Didier LOLO i think he's baiting.
+Cutflood You've got no clue what the fuck you're talking about.
+Cutflood 8 is Uematsu's masterpiece. Almost every single track (and there are a LOT) is iconic.

What a God
it is the best no doubt about it !!!
I mean.....Laguna's battle theme in FF8 is pretty great too! I like it more when I was a kid, and now I like this one more as an adult 😂
@@ronnieortiz6803 Man With The Machine Gun is my go-to psych up song when listening to FFVIII battle music. Damn right it's great!
How *in the world* does one become a *Triangle* player in an orchestra?? ( 1:04 he looks so passionate about it too!)

FFVII and FFVIII still my favourite two games. Epic story and music!
They are the two best FF games, yes....
I legit had chills listening to this. My favorite battle theme ever being turned in a masterpiece. Absolutely brilliant
The Triangle dude is a GF.
I CHOKED ON A DAMN CHOCOLATE SEEING THIS COMMENT. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
😂😂😭😂😂
Lmfao

I never really played FF8, but the sheer beauty of this has me in tears in parts
I'm so glad the most replayed part is my guy living his dream while killing it on the triangle.
"Fuck, not another battle! I literally took two steps!"
Marion Farrell *junctions diablo with Enc-none ability* problem solved? Nope battle music too good
If i remember it right there's another kind of Enc-None ability but it doesn't get rid of the fight only much less
Enc-half probably
Steven Perez Yep! That's the one!
This is without doubt one of the best pieces of music ever written for the final fantasy genre. :D
I LOVE U, TRIANGLE-MAN!!!

They are really on top of their game here. I've seen a few other vids of them playing this song and this is the best one by far.
this still give me goose bump whenever i play this video
Of all the FF music to me FF8 by far has the best and most memorable one imo.
Best Final Fantasy.
EVER.
+Squall Leonhart No.
Tatsujin Whatever.
+Squall Leonhart I can never choose between 7 - 9.

Wow it’s been 12 years, and it still give my the chills I do like this game ♥️♥️
That triangle is guy is the hero. Not only does he play the triangle, but also the drum and the lottery basket.
I've never played FF8 before but I listen to its OSTs because they sound really good.
TRIANGLEKUKEN!!!

+Jessica Goshi percussions, its percussions.
+Jessica Goshi Not skilled enough to handle the godly triangle
when I grow up, I wanna be a TRIANGLE
triangulate this .. lol i just always wanted to say this
Triangle dude is the secret boss you get to fight after you complete every side quest.
That triangle solo on 2:01. EPIC!
The dude on the triangle is SO into it! Lol he's all smilin'
After all these years this song is still so good !!!
And some people dare to say video game music isn't original or exciting... they just will never understand.
this orchestra its the best of all times.
The guy bumping on the triangle is the real MVP
that badass trianglist though :D :P
Lmao he was really into it, huh? "yeeeaa you like that huh??" hahah
Really working that triangle...
It's absolutely marvelous how gorgeous the music of Final Fantasy is.
From now on I'm changing my life objectives to become a triangle player.
He looks so into it at 1:03, he's getting his groove on so hard.
This is why Final Fantasy 8 is best FF
+alucard2893 wait ur from 7
+LiveOnInstincts Yeah I like this picture of Tifa lol, Final Fantasy 8 is my favorite one :p
alucard2893
well 9 for me was the best

The beginning is so epic, it gave me chills
goosebumps all the way to my feet!
sooo nostalgic, i can even hear the battle sound effects in my head
It's always like this: when listen to FF osts I end up crying because the music is just so good and remind me of all the feels.
When videogames had a real OST, long live to Nobuo Uematsu! (And old SquareSoft too)
13 YO me: What a masterpiece
32 YO me: What a masterpiece
Mad respect for Arnie Roth. He does it right.
The audience knew this is really happening at 0:12
+Macky Reyes Oath.
わお
Cringe when everybody clap
They need to make Triangle-san an optional party member in FF8 Remake. He's also doing the wind noise
He could get a limit break with a triangle solo
🤣🤣🤣

+Fernando hudson costa muniz What anime is your picture from?
Nobuo is the greatest composer of my time.
Yup
its so beautifull I have chills in all my body when i listening this .
great version it needed more Quistis cracking her whip but great version
Alberto Andrade OMG this!
Alberto Andrade whap whap. splach
I can’t listen to this without hearing the whip lol
The whip sound haunt me on the sleep
This is perfect. FFVIII remake may want to use this record
Played to perfection. My favorite
Greatest goosebumps in years.
And we surely stole him and stocked 99 magic on our team.This song is printed in my mind for life.i listened it maybe during 2 months constantly 24h/24h, if you calculate how much time i passed on ff8 .Awesome concert !!!
1:22 Oủr real hero is the guy make all the wind
Piel de gallina que tiempos,donde las cosas se hacian con pasión y amor.
The epic-ness and nostalgia make me tear up and give me goosebumps
The triangle rhythm is the most epic ever.
This is the greatest thing you can ever hear.
One of my favorite soundtrack from the series! Epic battle.
millions of times and it never got old
This is fucking epic props to you and your band you nailed it
FF8 has the best FF soundtrack in my opinion.
indeed ... it blends amazingly with the graphics and atmosphere
ff 7 8 9 are the best ff 10 is ok ,too
terras theme, rose of may, aeriths theme, one winged, angel FF8 end theme, some really good music in 9 and 10 too. suteki dae nae, zanarkand. NOTHING else sounds like a NOBUO composition in an orchestra its insane to me. I want more!
@GlidingFalcon No way
Make my heart burn to join war for destroy the evil
ca me tire les larmes des yeux tellement ça me rappel de bons souvenirs!!!
The triangle guy is loving life!
God I love this song, reminds me of the first time I had played my own game on the PlayStation 1, I was 7 years old the memories man. The entire soundtrack influenced my choices in music genre, final fantasy 8 is the ultimate game from my childhood
Same here
The monster that always pops into my mind when I hear this battle theme is that one round floating spinning clock face that you encounter out in the meadowy terrains.
This is another level dam
Final fantasy 8 ❤
MUCH love for the triangle guy!!
Draw. Draw. Draw. Draw. 😢
Goosebumps!!! And Goosepimples!
Just the first 10 seconds gave me chills.
The Triangle Solo Player uses Renzokouken, every time he hit it, actually he presses R1 so he makes Critical Damage
Why can't a fucking UFC fighter or a boxer come out to an epic song like this? In fact, I'm surprised that in all the years of combat sports, that some "weird" eccentric type of fighter HASN'T thought to come out to some video game music. Whether it's orchestral or just straight up chip tunes.
I know, if I was a UFC fighter, I would be coming out to this!
There is one fighter, not UFC, but Fedor was walking out to an russian chor-like music. Not completely orchestrated but i know what youre getting at.
CrazyCircles1 Oh yeah, I think I remember that.
Lol for you bro, I will make this prophecy come to pass man! Yo! Haha.
TheMainMayn You're a kind man, thank you sir.
1:05 I love the dude who's jammin on the triangle in the back. what a pro
God I love this song! It's awesome! It makes me feel excited...I think that's the right word.
