This is that part of the game you were finally free to explore the world. I love it. We're out here doing hero shit on a prototype airship built by a guy who just came back from being a frog. Truly epic fantasy.
Garnet's development is just one of the many fantastic aspects of the FFIX cast. Steiner, Zidane, Garnet, even Vivi, all grow as people, expanding their understanding of the world, of living, of doing the right thing. Steiner struggles between his loyalty to the throne and his moral conscience, eventually converting the hardened general Beatrix to the side of good. Zidane discovers his purpose and rejects it completely, killing the man who gave him life. Garnet goes through a sweep of changes.
Freya learns how to be on her own and be okay, and is rewarded by rediscovering her true love. Quina learns if you don't fight to the death for more life, there are no more tasty treats! Amarant learns that he's an idiot.
Thank you for extending this piece! This is my favorite airship theme in FF, and most likely my favorite airship theme for RPG in general. Though my favorite FF doesn't really have an OST as good as FF8's or FF10's, the best music in it are still top notch. With this now there are extended VGM for just about every types of my favorite RPG themes: - main - normal battle battle, boss, main boss battle, final boss battle - town - character - event, dramatic - world map - airship - field, dungeon
Gah! You just made my brain explode with the notion! Trance, extreme burst of emotion resulting in transformation and power boost. Super saiyan, the same! Zidane when tranced, grows pink and purple fur (also Kuja goes all red), Goku SS4, grows red fur! Am I reading too deeply, or is this a hidden homage...?
The cheery music really fits the story: just before one gets the Hilda Garde III Garnet breaks out of her depression, regains her voice and cuts her hair, a major turning point.
I kind of have the sense most of the airship themes in the FF series have that, and it kind of makes sense. I'm not sure if they were directly going for the same vibe as that movie or if it's just what ends up happening in a JRPG, but all of the themes seems to try and convey the "childlike magic" of flight. I think the reason the series prefers to stick with airships rather than move on to something like planes is because an airship gives you the sense of "riding something" whereas once you're in a plane you're "sitting in a room that shakes a bit". ...That long-winded schpiel aside, I also think this is the most "Neverending-Story-Like" of the airship songs...and I'm a little upset you don't get to hear this one for that long as you only get the Hilda Garde III for a bit and once you get the Invincible it's over. :(
The way the snuck in Amur Town's theme leitmotif from FFIII (literally the best underrated theme) at 1:12 is smooth AF, so now AFAIK VII Advent, IX, X-2, BE, Mobius (presumably) had done this
+JamesCrossSP yeah thats the biggest prob with this game.Because of story reasons (which is so good that I can forgive them) the airship timing is handled terribly.
This music reminds me of the never ending story. HELL, FF9 reminds me of the never ending story... Bizarre Love Triangle reminds me of the never ending story... Secret of Mana reminds me of the never ending story...(riding on the back of flammy) Dammit, im stuck in an 80's nostalgia loop ! Everything comes back to the never ending story for some reason. It never ends...
Majoras Mask? Both have creatures that eat rocks, both feature a giant turtle awakening, that was mistaken for a hill. And I feel like there were others but Im drawing a blank.
One of the daggers is far more beautiful than the other XD. The song is nice to... I too am in the fourth disc and I miss it now... Even if "evil mist return" is nice too.
So...Vincent Valentine didn't have a reason? His girlfriend kills his father, and leaves him for a dirty, old scientist, he gets shot and experimented on, blames himself and loses 30 years of his life sleeping, and "atoning for his sins". I believe I'd become emo, too if that ever happened to me...
Technically Terra and Celes had a reason too. Terra couldn't remember who she was and she didn't know how to love because the empire used her as a weapon all those years. And Celes thought that after Cid died that everyone in the world was dead and that's why she tried to commit suicide.
It made sense why. Sure the tune is an optimistic one but the world covered in mist and roots, the lack of HG3 would've made it unfitting. Good thing TH-cam exists as well as a backup file!
Yes! The melodies are so similar, Nobuo had to have been inspired by that theme. Even the lyrics from the song are "Let's build a giant airship and sail into the sky...". Can't be a coincidence.
Cloud had his hometown destroyed, no family left, and most of all had a friend which might felt kind of romantic feeling killed in front of him unable to save her. Vincent was cheated on by the slut lucrecia and hojo, got mutated. squall was an orphan n was separated from ellone the only person that care for him. come on if any of this happen to us we would be a depressed as well cut them some slack.
still not an excuse for fully grown 25 year old men to be acting like angsty, 13 year old girls on their period. and might I ad that Cloud was originally the person who tried to kill her. Good night.

Zidane likes to have a dagger on each hand.
Well played ...
I see whatcha did there...
He also likes to sheathe his daggers.
Zidane is a ethereal being and dagger is 16
YEAH! ONE IN EACH HAND!
This song makes me think about the great adventures and good memories I had playing this game. When I first got the airship i was very excited
This song makes me think of our first time having sex
I can't believe it took me this long to realize that this airship theme contains the prelude motif in the beginning and sprinkled throughout.

Best flight theme ever?
The best and last.
FF9 is so memorable..
I want to play this game again..!!
Lets play the game again :)))
10 years ago you couldn’t; but now you can, ON YOUR PHONE!!
Also, this music screams: "Bastian's Happy Flight" from The Neverending Story. Just as epic.
I LOVE the artwork.
They're so cute!

Am I reading too deeply, or is this a hidden homage...?
Omg, my friends and I were always saying they were Saiyans lmao
It's funny now cuz how Dragon Ball Super has been going this would be a ligit possibility.
The cheery music really fits the story: just before one gets the Hilda Garde III Garnet breaks out of her depression, regains her voice and cuts her hair, a major turning point.
GO FALCOR GOOO!
ooops, wrong thing... there is a 'Neverending story feel' to that song.

Garnet was awesome! :) ff9 was all awesome! :)
eeeemo?
i think she has the best character development of ANY princess in gaming
+
she is a white mage BEAST! with that holy spell
The way the snuck in Amur Town's theme leitmotif from FFIII (literally the best underrated theme) at 1:12 is smooth AF, so now AFAIK VII Advent, IX, X-2, BE, Mobius (presumably) had done this
I really hope this ends up on the next Distant Worlds album!
I'm on CD4 and I miss this theme u_u
+JamesCrossSP yeah thats the biggest prob with this game.Because of story reasons (which is so good that I can forgive them) the airship timing is handled terribly.
This music reminds me of the never ending story.
HELL, FF9 reminds me of the never ending story...

Secret of Mana reminds me of the never ending story...(riding on the back of flammy)
Dammit, im stuck in an 80's nostalgia loop !
Everything comes back to the never ending story for some reason. It never ends...
ikr the plot storyline in ff5 also reminds me of never ending story lol
@@KawaiiKaabii1993 Yeah, I got a similar "Bastian's Happy Flight" vibe from "The Dragon Spreads Its Wings" in that game.
Majoras Mask?
Both have creatures that eat rocks, both feature a giant turtle awakening, that was mistaken for a hill. And I feel like there were others but Im drawing a blank.
Zidane's like "IMA CUT DIS GURL UP HIHIHI"
I LIKE IT SO MUCH :)
*AHEM*
The entire cast of FFVI wants a word with you.
Yeah, it uses a lot of the same instruments that Klaus Doldinger used when he scored the Never Ending Story. Not to mention a very similar feel.
lmao that period thing made me laugh hard. i guess you have a point there :P
FF9 is my favorite, followed by 7, and then by 10, and then 8, and finally 6.
One of the daggers is far more beautiful than the other XD.
The song is nice to... I too am in the fourth disc and I miss it now... Even if "evil mist return" is nice too.
So...Vincent Valentine didn't have a reason? His girlfriend kills his father, and leaves him for a dirty, old scientist, he gets shot and experimented on, blames himself and loses 30 years of his life sleeping, and "atoning for his sins". I believe I'd become emo, too if that ever happened to me...
Not to mention the only one that gets over it in a meaningful fashion by games end.
Technically Terra and Celes had a reason too. Terra couldn't remember who she was and she didn't know how to love because the empire used her as a weapon all those years. And Celes thought that after Cid died that everyone in the world was dead and that's why she tried to commit suicide.
Very cute though too
My Fave FF❤❤❤
FUCKING COOOOOLL 👍👍👍👍👍👍
BTW i love this theme !
Short hair Garnet > Long hair Garnet
LOOOOOOL
I love this game...
0:22 tune sounds exactly like FFVIII's Oath Theme 🤯
never noticed this until you pointed it out. woooow
the queen
the name alone Hilda guarde Is one...Freaking kick ass name...
Man what's with final fantasy games having badass airship themes nobuo is the greatest
That picture can easily be misinterpreted by someone who is unfamiliar with the FFIX story.
:ratJAM:
I think he lifted this from the closing credits in the Teddy Ruxpin animated series
Kefka defo is not an emo, he just wants to make world go BOOM and laugh while at it :D
Wouldn't be surprised if it's based on something. The intro of Sephiroth's theme was based on a song of Jimmy Hendrix.
This song remainds me of Dragon Ball GT
Right. Because Cloud, Vincent, Squall, Freya, Auron, Bashe and Terra had no reason to be emo.
you forgot tidus. also fei wong,and shion uzuki,and the prince from suikoden 5.
a real life moogle,a real life excalibur 2,a real life adventure,a reason to go out and murder creatures etc
Hello, Neverending Story. I wonder if that was intentional.
it is
Ⅸは音がシンプルで古風な気がします。昔のゲームみたいで好き！
they are 16-18 years old (zidane & garnet)
real life moogle
how old would you guys say the characters are in this game? its so hard to tell
garnet, the only ff emo that had a REASON to be emo
Just take a chick. It's a really tiny chocobo.
hahaha that's the face garnet made when zidane bumped into her butt. ''hmm soft.'
Best airship song ever!
However, this song cannot listen on Disc 4.
It made sense why. Sure the tune is an optimistic one but the world covered in mist and roots, the lack of HG3 would've made it unfitting. Good thing TH-cam exists as well as a backup file!
Anybody else hear the theme to the Teddy Ruxpin show here?
Yes! The melodies are so similar, Nobuo had to have been inspired by that theme. Even the lyrics from the song are "Let's build a giant airship and sail into the sky...". Can't be a coincidence.
Cloud had his hometown destroyed, no family left, and most of all had a friend which might felt kind of romantic feeling killed in front of him unable to save her. Vincent was cheated on by the slut lucrecia and hojo, got mutated. squall was an orphan n was separated from ellone the only person that care for him. come on if any of this happen to us we would be a depressed as well cut them some slack.
This theme could also be a Pokémon theme.
Do you mean the playable characters? Cause I don't remember Kefka being emo lol
Except Gau. Gau has disappeard because of leap.
funny ^^
garnet gone emo when her mom died. I said that just in case that sentence you wrote was sarcasm.
Which mom? Since remember she was adopted.
Kinda sad despite all the things she had done.
Freya was pretty emo too, but I thought she was cool
still not an excuse for fully grown 25 year old men to be acting like angsty, 13 year old girls on their period.
and might I ad that Cloud was originally the person who tried to kill her. Good night.
*....*
did they go so emo that they lost their voice?
i think she's not really emo, more like depressed
Yet still not very, as there are many points where she was happy.
that not what i see.
These manga drawings looks so unreal and brainless. Love them as characters tho
do you even know what "emo" means?
so emo she lost her voice
This is busy song in ff9.
