Fun fact: I hid "The Prelude" in many of these orchestrations and it appears more than 20 times on this mix. Can you find them all? - PS. I just noticed the typo. Nonetheless, hope you enjoy the ARRRangements!
Just rename this as "My Resume for Square Enix". This play list is amazing. I lost my mind when I heard Apocalypse Noctis, that one of my favorite songs on the entire franchise.
@@hippophlebotamus lol, you are being overly picky. 1) No one said anything about a walk animation. Just that he "moves" in time. 2) Vivi is actually based on the classic Black Mage from FF1. Hence why Alex said "in one way or another..." ;)
Imagine how wild that would be: A bombing mission happening on the shores of Costa del Sol, and having a naval battle mini-game with your own ship, a lá ACIV: Black Flag.
Gahh the chills when Apocalypsis Noctis starts... That song and the moment it was used was just so insanely amazing that it should be considered one of the greatest masterpieces in gaming.
I don't find comments about Kirby swallowing the One Winged Angel. Probably, there are some talking about how CRAZY that theme works. I agree with them. Wonderful work, mr. Moukula. The whole hour reaches perfection.
Hey thanks for saying that! I find that orchestral music nowadays is kinda like "Latin". Cool, universal, but very few really care about it out of context
I was barely into VIII's Landing arrangement and got hit with such intense nostalgia that I literally started tearing up... 40 minutes to go, and can't wait to experience the rest. This is stunning, thank you Alex.
Same here, mate. FFVIII was my first JRPG, and even though Liberi Fatali had me sucked in already, The Landing clenched it for me. I will never not love this game, flaws and all.
@@diegoanthonyherrera9952 Current tech is easily capable of producing an amazing FF8 remake. They already remade FF7 a few years ago and that is spectacular.
Alex, sheer class my friend. You were named dropped on a video game music show here in the UK. The quality and depth of your work is astounding. Music brings joy and life. Keep going. Thank you.
The Prelude is so iconic that it'd be impossible to miss. Also, I need this so much! Thank you~ Though I was looking for Ignition Flame, but this... This is it.
I've been studying non-stop. These arrangements are absolutely perfect to get amped up with! I've probably listened through this whole thing ATLEAST 12 times. Fantastic job!
YAS ALEX!!! FFVII Medley: Embrace your Dreams is giving me Star Wars vibes!!! Music to my ears! And 1 hour of FF music, by Alex, COUNT ME IN!!!! Edited: the next Beethoven, but a funky Beethoven, I say 🎼🎵🎶
Say what you will about each final fantasy- we all have our favs- but hearing the music? Always makes me want to replay them all. As a lifelong series fan, I’ve listened to arrangements of these songs countless times and let me tell you- *this was a critical hit*
Was doing the dishes while listening to this on my headphones, when terras theme started playing i was like "oh my god" and almost dropped a pan to the floor. Love your work Alex, hope you go far and get to do great things! Greetings from Finland!
I just found this and listened a finished and started over again. Its an absolute pleasure to see people's art take them places that they enjoy to make and to share. The way the themes flow together with such seamless quality is amazing. Thank you for the work that you have created and keep up the great work. I will be a long time listener.
OMG I love that little moving Vivi, what a nice and sweet detail. And I absolutely love your mix. It combines all the aspects I love about the Final Fantasy Series so much
The intro to Embrace Your Dreams medley is probably one of the best and most creative renditions of final fantasy music I've ever listened to. I really like how you put two very iconic melodies together - from the ff7 battle theme and also the classic final fantasy prelude melody. I hope you make more videos of your renditions and arrangements for ff8 and ff9 though, ... makes me wonder... what kind of arrangements you can do for the Chrono Trigger music :)
Alex, thank you! I'm having a really bad day and working on some things and this came on my TH-cam playlist and my shoulders DROPPED a good inch as my tension bled away. Thanks. I appreciate you making this :)
Alex, you are something else my Man! That Endwalker theme and the reconstruction of the FF16 Awakening trailer theme create the shivers like nothing else!!!
This is indeed EPIC! What a great thing to see on a Saturday morning. Guess I know what I'm listening to daily. Sooooooo good! The Landing is just perfection!
Sephiroths lament, into Jenova, into Birth of a God... closed out with one winged kirby. 😅👌 That whole section is the best flowing series of tracks. You faded them together so beautifully.
This man here is our next FF composer! It's the final piece that seals the deal so if you're watching this Square Enix, make it happen and give this man what he deserves!
Loved every second of this and it's been on repeat the past couple of days for me. But my personal favourite was Insanity from FFXIV. Always felt that this was a criminally underrated song from the game and you somehow made it even better. I hope you release more mixes like these!
This is the best collection of Final Fantasy song re-imaginings I have ever heard. Thank you for doing this, it's incredible to listen to. And thank you so much for doing 'Birth of a God'. I feel that track is always overlooked, being sandwiched between 'Jenova Complete' and 'One Winged Angel'.
Man, every time i listen to this arrangement... i always get so hyped for everything when the endwalker theme fades into apocalypsis noctis, with a strong follow up with the awakening trailer. Like some massive calamitous dissidia battle is taking place... DEFEAT CHAOS!! *cough* Is this just me? It even follows all of that with Terras Theme 😢... Alex, you sir are a Master!! Many blessings to you in your career & endeavors, friend!! 🤗
I think what is more impressive than you hiding the "Prelude" in these orchestrations is the fact that you've woven so many themes from popular franchises, both movie and game, in here. Don't think I didn't hear that Skyrim reference in Apocalypsis Noctis and the Pirates of the Caribbean theme in Bombing Mission. Naughty naughty! Thanks for uploading this, I always have enjoyed your videos and look forward to lengthy videos about the music of Endwalker :)
That ever so brief hint of JENOVA right before the end of Sephiroth's Lament is what reinforces my opinion that you are in the top level, man. Never stop, dude!
I don't understand how one man can hold so much power over the auditory senses. I'm just imagining Dissidia but it's a feature length film with an actually cohesive plot and these epic orchestrations strung throughout.
Stupidly amazing! Terra's Theme is one of my alltime favs and you took the essence, added nuances of sorrow but also hope, which for me is what this theme and Terra's journey was always about.
This is absolutely amazing, so nostalgic. Especially The Landing and Festival of the Hunt, one of my favourite track from the series. Definitely gonna be listening to this again and again, thank you!!
This video came on while working and after listening for a bit, I was like "Dang! Who made this mix?" and of course, it was the legend Alex Moukala. Thank you for your love and passion bro!!
It's absolutely amazing how I never get tired of listening to your version of"The Landing". I think FFVIII soundtrack is quite underrated and you chose one of the most iconic tracks and gave it a great revival. Not to mention Festival of the Hunt, Saber's Edge and JENOVA. You're a legend, man. Trust me, you'll be composing a FF song or entire soundtrack one day, I know for sure. And keep these arrangements coming!
Fun fact: I hid "The Prelude" in many of these orchestrations and it appears more than 20 times on this mix.
Can you find them all?

Guys, I think he likes final fantasy
Never heard of it 🤔
@@AlexMoukalaMusic It was a spin-off from Lost Odyessy, the music of which was something else!
@@SolPhantasmagoria Wait what? I thought it was a rip off of Chrono Trigger.
@@nathank2289 Nah, Chrono Trigger is a rip of Radiant Historia
What is final fantasy again? Is it likes dragon quest?
Just rename this as "My Resume for Square Enix". This play list is amazing.
I lost my mind when I heard Apocalypse Noctis, that one of my favorite songs on the entire franchise.
^^^ +1
Final Fantasy XV's soundtrack doesn't get enough love.
Sounds a lot like skyrim
I heard better.
th-cam.com/video/fQFuM7GUNvU/w-d-xo.html everyone says it
I just noticed that the little black mage moves with the time marker. It's adorable 😆
In one way or another, Vivi is always in my videos :)
@@AlexMoukalaMusic viva la vivi
Bruh thats awesome
two things though i'm probably being overly picky
1. that's a casting animation not a walk...
2. that's from way before Vivi, a generic black mage...
@@hippophlebotamus lol, you are being overly picky.
1) No one said anything about a walk animation. Just that he "moves" in time.
2) Vivi is actually based on the classic Black Mage from FF1. Hence why Alex said "in one way or another..." ;)
Ah yes, Bombing Mission, the theme of Avalanche during their mission to defeat the cursed skeletons of the caribbean sea.
The First Soldier: JACK SPARROW.
Imagine how wild that would be: A bombing mission happening on the shores of Costa del Sol, and having a naval battle mini-game with your own ship, a lá ACIV: Black Flag.

@@AlexMoukalaMusic there's gotta be a captain in there somewhere.. oh wait, Captain Alex Moukala took it
Love it! Had to rewind to make sure I wasn't losing my mind when I heard that!
Gahh the chills when Apocalypsis Noctis starts... That song and the moment it was used was just so insanely amazing that it should be considered one of the greatest masterpieces in gaming.
It definitely is!
Re-writing it note by note was very eye opening for me as a composer, Yoko Shimomura is too good
@@AlexMoukalaMusic Yoko Shimomura is amazing! 😍
Alex casually dropping 51 min of beautifully arranged music. Content for days! :D
Hope you enjoy it!
Love it Alex
Oh.. oh no... well I know what I’m listening too for the next month straight.

Enjoy the music!
He needs to give us a sample of independent FF type music so he can work on the new games.
@@dezheathen yes! He gotta
You are always slaying it with these remixes and themes man!
Favorite Ytber
I don't find comments about Kirby swallowing the One Winged Angel. Probably, there are some talking about how CRAZY that theme works. I agree with them. Wonderful work, mr. Moukula. The whole hour reaches perfection.
Your orchestration work needs much more appreciation. I'm really looking forward on what you do next with your talent
Hey thanks for saying that!
I find that orchestral music nowadays is kinda like "Latin". Cool, universal, but very few really care about it out of context
@@AlexMoukalaMusic thats why you need to put your music in videogames!
I just cry with everyone of them. I'm very depressed, but this music just give me more strength to keep going. Thank you.
I hope things are going better, Dew!

You Legend
Me: I've heard them all before.
Also me: SO LET'S LISTEN TO THEM ALL AGAIN!

I was barely into VIII's Landing arrangement and got hit with such intense nostalgia that I literally started tearing up... 40 minutes to go, and can't wait to experience the rest. This is stunning, thank you Alex.
I'm so glad to hear this, that arrangement of The Landing is one of the most meaningful tracks I ever worked on!
Same here, mate. FFVIII was my first JRPG, and even though Liberi Fatali had me sucked in already, The Landing clenched it for me. I will never not love this game, flaws and all.
VIII was not my first RPG but it is my favorite
49:44 Did no one notice the "He's a Pirate" part in the Bombing Mission song? 😂
Don't worry, you're not alone 🤣
What ?? 😂
Its very obvious to not notice it
The track should be called "He's an Eco-Terrorist."
I thought it was pirates of the Caribbean
My man. This is DOPE! Combined with the news of us getting the third OST for the Remake, and a 3-disc one. This made my day even better!
I'm so freaking excited for that one, and Integrade in general.
Let's gooo!
I'm out of the loop here, could you fill me in please? I thought there was only 1 FF7R OST? What's the 2nd one?
Where did you see news of this third ost????
@@0ttomobile I think he's talking about Square Enix's plan to split the remake into three parts. We should be getting 3 OST parts by that logic.
@@adampetersen5906 i figured it out, there’s an ost for intergrade that was put on SE’s site
Almost 1 hour of your arrangement?? This Is EPIC 🤩🤩
If I could, I would do nothing but Final Fantasy arrangements for a living!
Maybe one day... 👀
@@AlexMoukalaMusic You deserve it! Not only for FF Games, but even for other GDR games !!
4:38 FF8 The Landing - I f*cking love that part! That game NEEDS a full remake! The story , characters, music and world was amazing!
of course but actuall the tech for that game is not the best, maybe in 3 or 5 years with a 1 tera game

Truly epic. Thanks Alex! I never expected to hear Pirates of the Carribean in the middle of Bombing Mission!
49:40
So you heard it to not just me??? I was wondering if I was hearing things or if it was just a pull from the same musical instruments and beats.
My guy ended the video with Victory Fanfare for those who didn't got K.O'd from the epicness of those arrangements.
Good lord we don't get enough "Birth of a God" remixes. That was a fantastic mix and I loved it.
Alex, sheer class my friend. You were named dropped on a video game music show here in the UK. The quality and depth of your work is astounding. Music brings joy and life. Keep going. Thank you.
The Landing gives me goosebumps. Great job!
I'm not crying you are crying.
This is incredible and yes, fine, maybe I AM crying.
Way to slip in that Pirates of the Caribbean theme into Bombing Mission!
**backflips aggressively to One-Winged Kirby**
Is it just me or does the last little cycle of the fighting theme of FF7 never cease to leave goosebumps?
Jesus, Alex! The hunt song from FF9, it's so epic. They need this in the remake one day !!!
It took me 21 minutes into the video to realize that the Black Mage was keeping the time! How cute!
The Prelude is so iconic that it'd be impossible to miss. Also, I need this so much! Thank you~ Though I was looking for Ignition Flame, but this... This is it.

0:00 to 2:20 sounds like the music from a movie trailer. Gave me goosebumps, not gonna lie.
If I could re-like this 1000x, I would. My dude seriously combining two genre's I love, Epica and FF Music.
I'm surprised there's no Battle on the Big Bridge. That's one of the most iconic themes in the entire series, imo.
OMG I love that little moving Vivi, what a nice and sweet detail. And I absolutely love your mix. It combines all the aspects I love about the Final Fantasy Series so much
