+Stephanie Hilman my memory is fuzzy but i think that is wrong, she compose that after part ways with laguna. the lyrics is about the last time the met.

As a fanatic you should be able to say with confidence that Squall's parents are Laguna and Raine and Rinoa's parents are General Caraway and Julia. :) And indeed the song is much more suited to the romance between Julia and Laguna that never got off the ground.

Thought so, thank you.

I know that the song was for Laguna and Julia originally because  Julia wrote the song about  him after all the times she saw him watching her, I chose Squall and Rinoa because there is virtually no  videos  of  Julia and Laguna. also I said in my description "final fantasy VIII (8) video almost a love story how Squall Leonhart Rinoa Heartilly fall in love" not that that was the meaning of the song. 

+Ｋｉｎｇ glad to meet someone with this kind of knowledge, deep knowledge about FF history, thanks for sharing that information.

+Michael Edwards so laguna ang julia have a affair?, what happened tp rained and general caraway?

+Ger PIM no, laguna met julia before meeting raine, and julia married carraway when laguna never came back from where-ever

+KAlexandra91 laguna, kiros, and ward were sent away to fight and getting lost as usual the stumble up on the lunapandora where they fight against Esthar solders, at the end of the battle Laguna throws kiros and ward off the lunapandora and then slips and falls off crashing into the sea, Raine (squalls mother) finds him takes him back to the small village of Winhill and nurses him back to health. 6 months or so pass and Kiros catches up with him and they catch up with old times and he mentions julia heartilly and a song that she sung (eyes on me)

Yeah, Laguna had that one meet-up in the hotel... had no sex (cause it's Final Fantasy) and Laguna was pulled away on the Cetra assignment - eventually ending up in Winhill and meeting Raine. Interestingly, General Caraway, at the time, was Private Caraway... and is the blue soldier seen in the Galbadia Hotel who is seemingly jealous of Laguna's attention from Julia! Hehe!

+Michael Edwards I too, always thought that this song was for Laguna and Julia, but then again by extension I always felt that the subtext of FF 8 was that Squall and Rinoa's relationship was clearly a parallel - they were getting the chance to be together that their parents never had.

+John Martinez and Laguna is on his way to become Esthars president

+Michael Edwards In the game, it was written by Julia as she fell in love with Laguna while you were watching (and fiddling) from the future. However, it never takes off and General Caraway gets the girl.

+John Martinez true

+Ｋｉｎｇ Wolfking1981 didn't say otherwise. The video IS about the love story between Squall and Rinoa; Wolfking didn't claim that the song itself had anything to do with them.

+Aria DiMezzo but Julia used to sing this song(Eyes on Me) at the bar, she sing for Laguna :)

+Stephanie Hilman my memory is fuzzy but i think that is wrong, she compose that after part ways with laguna. the lyrics is about the last time the met.

+sosuke aizen feelings/emotions has nothing to do with age ... it's just a part of being a HUMAN in general ..... and we need it ^^

30 years and still this game is not old ;))

By the way, Chrono Cross is my favorite OST ever. Have you heard this version of Nusumenai Houseki? /watch?v=kUrYAg_pLRY It's very dreamy..

+heartofchubbs Yes, both the song and the game are very stunning. Been my fav from when i was a child till now :)

+海龍 I agree. To me this song is Just as romantic as Heat Wave - Always and Forever .

+marco jacome Wow, thats another gem for sure :)

+海龍 Yes, this and Melodies of Life. Laguna is the most romantic and overall awesome character ever, though. I love Laguna =~

+Space Lion Ah, so u like Melodies of Life too :D I really love FF IX and the musics is fantastic. I really really love Melodies of Life

+海龍 Yes, it's one of my favorites ^^ Another song I like a lot, is Small of Two Pieces, from Xenogears. Here's a nice version of it by White Mages, if you'd like to listen: /watch?v=ivqRR6onW9E :)

+Space Lion Its just..wonderful. It has this warm touching feeling. Thanks man I really like the song. I dont know if u hv listen to this but this song has a special place in my heart. The title is Song of Mana: /watch?v=_hW-MHssUd8

+海龍 Haha, I love Song of Mana. Really liked the OST and charm the game has too, beautiful hand-drawn backgrounds..too nice. Here's another I really like, name's Off to Sleep, by Coeur de Pirate: /watch?v=67VcSxZgxfE

+海龍 OH!!! i love this song tooo!!! actually... Legend of Mana and Chrono Cross both have very good soundtracks. love them all :D

+Space Lion Oh wow.. I listened to the "Off to Sleep" that you recommended, isn't the background game "Child of Light"? I don't remember hearing this song in the game though, but I haven't finished playing it yet.. hehe....

+heartofchubbs Haha, yeah, it's from Child of Light. And you'll hear it by the time you finish the game.. :)

By the way, Chrono Cross is my favorite OST ever. Have you heard this version of Nusumenai Houseki? /watch?v=kUrYAg_pLRY It's very dreamy..

+heartofchubbs Yes, both the song and the game are very stunning. Been my fav from when i was a child till now :)

+SanFran420 Got it in PS3 off the store

+Blood Raven Sounds like a good plan, I might follow that example

+Jorik Spiritwolves + +Blood Raven Same here

Download it on steam guys :)

+SanFran420 Got it in PS3 off the store

+Red88Rex I love how the song translates to the scene of the bar in Deling City, where Laguna comes to watch Julia play. It's too sweet

+Red88Rex The scene in the cockpit gets my feels every time

+Red88Rex nigga is you gay?

Actually yeah I am. 

that part in the ragnorak is amazing

+Red88Rex I love how the song translates to the scene of the bar in Deling City, where Laguna comes to watch Julia play. It's too sweet

+Quách Mỹ Sure.

+Quách Mỹ And the same love carries on to Squall and Rinoa because Julia is Rinoa's mother and Laguna is Squall's father. The song applies to both couples equally in my opinion.

Actually this song describes Julia's love to Laguna.

+Quách Mỹ Sure.

+Quách Mỹ And the same love carries on to Squall and Rinoa because Julia is Rinoa's mother and Laguna is Squall's father. The song applies to both couples equally in my opinion.

+Marwolaeth01 oh trust me it can; VIII is incredibly good but so is VII

+Marwolaeth01 I love FF8 and FF7, but 4/6 are my fave ;) Sometimes when I play 8 though, it becomes my temporary fave because I'm such a sucker for the love story (and also some pretty epic cutscenes).

+Marwolaeth01 It can't. FF VII is rated very highly as it's the most played of all the JRPGs in US history. The story is not as well developed as what you'll find in VIII, but getting people to play through the worst parts of the combat system (the system gets much better lvl 30+) was difficult and also many were playing FF VII still while 8 came out. By the time they finished it and picked up 8 they were too busy raving about the duel between Sephiroth and Cloud. What's better than a duel? An epic story where a strong soft-spoken hero goes beyond any length to save the love of his life and fulfills destiny in ever more incredible encounters.

+Geoffrey Bush I'm more of a FF IV gamer...its story makes me cry every time, and the whole lore inside is the kind of thing I look into when I want a good game. Plus, it's on nintendo DS too! I can play it and cry on the subway on my way to college or during lunch breaks ;n;

+Marwolaeth01 oh trust me it can; VIII is incredibly good but so is VII

+Marwolaeth01 I love FF8 and FF7, but 4/6 are my fave ;) Sometimes when I play 8 though, it becomes my temporary fave because I'm such a sucker for the love story (and also some pretty epic cutscenes).

+Pizza Dude i know you didnt play the game but if you compare them to romeo and juliet, then rinao must be romeo haha

+Leonhart In most cases I agree... but I played 10 first, then 7, then 9, then 6 and 8. FF9 is definitely my favourite... I don't consider it the 'best' per se, but I love it.

+Leonhart 7 is easily my favorite. I played 6 first, and 7 was my second FF game. But I do agree that most people's favorite is their first.

+Leonhart 10 is my favourite then 7

ff9 and ff10 is the only ff game i have played and ff9 is my favorite but i think ff8's squal and rinoa are the romeo and juliet of video game

+Leonhart 8 and I played 7 first XD Although Dirge of Cerberus takes the trophy if you count partials

Seriously who doesn't love the story of Shelke and Shalua mixed with the story of Vincent and Lucrecia Crescent?

My first was 4. Then 13, started playing 14 mmo, and now am close to being done with 8. My personal favorite is 8. While I love an action filled story, there's something about a full blown love story in there that gets me. The fact Squall is so afraid to show his feelings for fear that if he gains a comfort again, it will be taken away from him sooner than later, and slowly accepting his feelings when he seems the most rebellious to them.

+Pizza Dude i know you didnt play the game but if you compare them to romeo and juliet, then rinao must be romeo haha

+Leonhart In most cases I agree... but I played 10 first, then 7, then 9, then 6 and 8. FF9 is definitely my favourite... I don't consider it the 'best' per se, but I love it.

thats just a conspiracy scully ;P

+GyariSan "execution was somewhat poor" Whatever that means. FFX quality-wise was great. The presentation, storytelling, character development etc were all amazing. No area was skimped on. I mean it actually felt like a long movie or TV show. And that's the mark of a great game - when the only real thing that makes people dislike it is their own lack of connection.

you and me both

+Elder Toguro truuuuue   ; (

Squeenix has made some major missteps and nearly imploded because of them. They basically chased off Nobuo Uematsu, the man that pretty much single-handedly defined the concept of an epic soundtrack for a video game, and Final Fantasy 14 (1.0) was such a disaster that almost the entire dev team was fired, one of the board members quit to save face, and it came close to bankrupting the company. (Fortunately, FF14:ARR was able to turn that around.)

I love all the Final Fantasy games. XIII and XIV are awesome.

+OddlyIncredible FF XIV: ARR is definately way better. I love it, its an amazing game.

+Kevster012 I know its great, I love the job system

+OddlyIncredible I heard that Uematsu is actually going to work on the new expansion's soundtrack which has me excited. Not sure if it is accurate though.

This song makes me feel that I am in a beautiful world I was in the past 18 years and this song broadcast from Iraq TV channel young people before the end of Saddam Hussein's regime I feel very sad when I hear too happy and I feel I remember whichever teen and beautiful girl I loved and wanted to marry them but the exchange rates of the economic blockade and Aaof enough money lost Sweetie I love this song combines past and beautiful banning

Agreed!

+Muhaned Mohammed what are you doing here Mohannad? 

+OddlyIncredible Really? Shit thats bad =(   I wish Square was still Squaresoft, the games they made were one of a kind. They got their own style and so much soul & essence in the games.

Final Fantasy 8 is still my #1 game.

+thor2070+9 Amen to that ^_^

+thor2070+9 amen bro

+thor2070+9 I couldn't agree more

+Scully  could not agree with u any more if only you were my gf i will love you so hard u will die an instantaneous death

+zxn6869 Super smooooth.  Not creepy at all

+Scully  well said, Bruv.

+Scully The saddest part? Enix was a fantastic company too with games like Star Ocean, Valkyrie Profile and so on. They both suffered after the merger. (though games like Radiata Stories were still fantastic.)

star ocean is made by tri ace and enix was the publisher 

True, but they still held a number of the rights to the franchise. (Valkyrie Profile, Dragon Quest and several others fall into this category.)

+Scully ffxii is very good too but they eventually went shit with all the xiv xv stuffs

I can't really agree with 12 being 'very good' The story was basically about Ashe and they added a kid that wanted to be a sky pirate as the protag. Vaan served little purpose outside of screaming 'Basch Lives!" and being a moron. The ONE thing I really liked about XII was its political story and the attempts to rebuild Dalmasca. The combat was trite, boring, and dull, with far too much control taken out of your hands if you wanted to 'play' effectively. I've come across people that were able to grind for several hours without even touching the controller thanks to the gambit system. Quickenings were cool though. XV looks promising enough at least with the promised changes upcoming. XIV realm reborn is an MMO and MMOs bore me so I can't be a fair judge of it but people seem to like it so...

only like the music in ff 12 :D

Twewy by se and best rpg ever

I've been meaning to try that one.

+Blaze Templar twewy? Its over android, nds and pc with emulator (got removed from app store of apple)

+kevin guerrero I just need to get around to playing it lol.

+kuronami00 He did a Realm Reborn and is indeed working on Heavensward. :) So excited!

+Samantha Soland just got only what, a month to go? =D

??? two months, and how do you know that?

Heavensward is coming out in june i think it was.

Hey! It's only because they worked on a glorious series that is kingdom hearts xD

...That's debatable. KH is solid definitely, and a much better game than I thought possible, but 'glorious' might be a bit much xD

I consider KH a volatile subject for me. The series irritates the daylights out of me on the sheer fact that Square is only there to make the game and dangle FF characters around like rat bait for all their fans. (ERMAHGERDSEPHIROTH dies) Look at the games, the FF characters make almost no impact at all, there is almost no reason for the FF characters beyond fan service. Take out all the characters and put people of other names with the same lines, and boom, congratulations you got a completely Disney series because none of the FF characters even mention their past or even how it's relative to KH. (Now, do I say the story would be a good game that way, HELL YES, but leave my god damn Squall out of this if you're going to make him an irrelevant tutorial giving shit! And where the hell are the characters from 1-6?! WTF?! DON'T GIVE ME THAT SQUARE. DON'T GIVE ME THAT. TALES OF SERIES DOESN'T! glare) If they just made it purely Disney and let Square Enix make the game like Nintendo did with Super Mario RPG, okay, legit, fine; but they hailed it as a Disney/Final Fantasy crossover. No, it's a Disney movie about some impractically dressed kid and his friends Donald and Goofy (which is said a MILLION times because apparently we don't know who the hell Donald and Goofy is! Go count how many times Donald, Goofy, and Sora's names are said or announced in the game. You'll get bored fast.) finding THE legendary keyblade that's one of a kind beyond the ten billion others (literally there's like ten billion of them in one cutscene in one of the games go look it up.) and how he will save the world from the Heartless. No mention of anything Final Fantasy what so ever in there. Rant over. <3

+Samantha Soland Eh, to be fair it's a legit concern. FF charas don't really play much of a role. Hopefully KH3 gives them a bit more relevance.

That's my whole beef, don't put them in if you're not going to use them. The game is decent on its own. Why bother with it if all you're doing is trying to bait in the fans. It's irritating imo.

+Scully went downhill after 10. 10 had a great story, but lacked real gameplay.

+Scully I feel your pain, after FF10 the series died for me.

+Scully me too!

...I will make a note that playing Lightning Returns for 10 minutes immediately made me turn it off, get up, go throw in 10-2 and whisper to it "...I'm sorry for all those cruel things I said to you bby..." and start playing it. ten minutes later Is playing Legend of Dragoon having broken 10-2 in half

+Scully Gorgeous girl playing Final Fantasy. Must be fake profile...

+goaliedude32 Video Games have become Pretty mainstream goalie. Besides, who cares what he/she may look like as long as they enjoy the games they play?

+Blaze Templar "Who cares" I want one, I don't believe they exist because I haven't been able to find one.

+goaliedude32 That's a silly way to look at it. If you want to meet a significant other that loves video games, try going to gaming conventions. From what I understand, about 45% of gamers are now female. (Though that stat is pretty outdated now...) That's a pretty big demographic.

+Blaze Templar Original comment was satirical.

+goaliedude32 That's a thing? xD

+Scully makes no differece as the games released by square enix still had the same staff from the square soft days.

+Its Marko! this is patently false

+Azshmo Mind rephrasing Azshmo? patents are a little bit off topic and patiently false doesn't make any sense either...

+Blaze Templar http://www.thefreedictionary.com/patently

+Azshmo Okay, my bad. Sorry about that. (I Should get more sleep...)

+Scully FF 13 was really shit yes.... But I have some hope in FF 15 and the FF 7 Remake

+Fendera never, now that I know they are changing the combat system in the FF7 remake I will never buy another Squeenix product again.

+Peter German As great as the ATB was, I'd give them the benefit of the doubt. They probably have good reason changing something that big. It might be related to some other big gameplay mechanics. I'd take a wait and see what happens approach on it. Shrugs We knew changes were necessary after all. (Barret proly will be given a number of tweaks for obvious reasons.)

+Blaze Templar why? Just because he says some cuss words? oh no the world will end now.  Seriously they just can't mess with main plots of the story or the battle system. just give the story a few tweaks, give it HD, throw in some side quests and call it a day.

+Peter German Not so much that. Barret's basically a racial stereotype (Japanese) of black people (Which I'm not sure would fly as well these days.) A few curse words are one thing, but just start counting Barret's wording, besides, it doesn't give him as much time to be building character. Shrugs It's an example of what likely will change and sometimes change isn't a bad thing. Wait and see what it turns out to be like before flipping out completely. You might be rewarded for the patience.

+Blaze Templar No need for patience, I know what I asked for and they ain't providing. Like the OP said Square turned to shit when they merged with Enix. And if they even think about wanting to keep the fans that have supported them for 25 years they better just give some better graphics, a few more side quests and mini-games and call it a damn day.

+Peter German Change isn't always a bad thing. Is it exactly like the original? Nope but that doesn't mean it's going to instantly be bad because of it. You asked for a FFVII remake, and they're providing one. I seriously doubt they're going to go out of their way to make changes just to tick you and a bunch of other people off. They've made dumb decisions a dozen times over, true, but this is their flagship game so... Give em a shot to show what they came up with, for all we know it might make the game even better. Then again, it might not. Shrugs

+Blaze Templar I for one never asked for a "remake". I was asking for an HD remaster like they did with FFX and FFX-2. 

+Peter German Well, a lot of people asked for full on remake. Shrugs

+Blaze Templar Yeah well I ain't one of them, and if they screw this up then I am never buying a Squeenix product again.  

+Peter German Well, that's your choice, but either they'll use this to pull themselves back up or they'll likely drown. They're most likely the most well aware of this fact. It's proly why they hesitated on actually announcing a FFVII remake/remaster in the first place. Ultimately, I think we should be fair and give them a chance to try to prove themselves with this.

+Blaze Templar Fair? They ignored us for almost 20 years. We have been more than fair, supporting them from the beginning. This is their last chance period. They screw this up and Squeenix will go out of business. Us old fans will make damn sure of that.

+Peter German I get it, I've loved FFVII, VIII, and IX, IV was fantastic, and so on. But, they've had several transitions. I'm willing to believe them when they said they weren't confident in making it at the time. Better to wait till they get the talents they needed for a game of FFVII's scale. As to their other games? It's really been hit and miss since early/mid ps2 era. 08 had Radiata stores. Good Then we had FFXIII On the flipside Realm Reborn. then there's XIII-2

+Scully It didn't. Stop trying to act hipster.

+Scully Shit...sorry i have to disagree....ff13 wasn't amazing but it wasn't shit either....plus 10 and 12 are some of the best in the series ..my personal order 8,10,12

+whitestar111 I can't say for certain on XIII since I need to get around playing it. XII had a good political story but Vaan bored me. Though I'll agree, yes, X was a stellar game and people do misunderstand it which is sad.

so true!

+whitestar111 enix didn't make 10

+Scully Enix destroyed Final Fantasy,it is not an opinion it is a fact.Whoever disagrees are either KH or some button mashing action rpg fans,so block them via google+ don't even reply to them I like 14 but that doesn't mean it is a true final fantasy game,it is a fucking mmo which make you continuously spend money.Present and Future of Final Fantasy is a lot like older and newer version of Diablo and Warcraft.Both were ruined because they are all fucked in the head.They even went as far to delete their own timeline and create alternate for a fucking expansion. I hope Enix burns to the ground and disappears from this world forever

+Imperius eyeroll No, it IS an opinion, even if it's justified or not, it's STILL opinion. Opinion: n:  a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge. TLDR: Opinion =/= fact. Square Enix isn't dead and still can and does put out good games. (They also do put out some rather lame ones too though...) Just because you don't like Kingdom Hearts, doesn't mean it's a bad game, just like the opinion that Final Fantasy is 'destroyed'. Yes, it's had some downs, but I know plenty of people that absolutely loathe earlier final fantasies (the video game Reviewer Spoony comes to mind when thinking about X and VIII) Just because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean that they're 'button mashing RPG fans'. Game franchises have their low and high points. It's that simple. It's not like it's the 'end' or that one should wish SE burns to the ground, especially considering they still put out some fantastic games Like Deus Ex and Tomb Raider (The reboot). FF XIV Realm Reborn IS an MMO, that's the entire point. It's not meant to be a classic Final Fantasy and if you think it is, you're missing the point of the game. Try the Upcoming remake of FFVII or Type 0. Perhaps the upcoming Deus Ex, or any number of titles that show promise. Furthermore, experimenting with new concepts is what gave Final Fantasy many of its strengths in the first place, it's bound to happen that not every idea works out. Have a relatively lazy example list. Final Fantasy I: Basic Dungeons and Dragons esque adventure with a reference to the hero of time. Final Fantasy II: No actual levels, but increasing stats by using that stat over and over, no jobs. Final Fantasy III: The Job System, more story focus Final Fantasy IV: Characters have set jobs, and a heavy focus on story, ATB Final Fantasy V: Okay, so this did do a lot of refinement of the last two, but not a lot of risks. Possibly my least favorite of the earlier final fantasies (tied with III)  Final Fantasy VI: A refinement of the IV formula but with a few new twists, storywise, this has been fascinating to play through so far Final Fantasy VII: Science Fiction Meets Magic and looks good doing it. Talk about a risk in and of itself. Materia system, etc Final Fantasy VIII: Junction System, Levels not actually needed and in some ways are arguably bad to get. Personally my favorite combat system of the psx final fantasies Final Fantasy IX: Return to the old school Final Fantasy concepts. Decent, but far from my top 5. Final Fantasy X: Sphere Grid, Summons taking the battlefield, No ATB but turn based on AGI stat, etc Final Fantasy X-2: Erm, ATB job system that allows for in battle changes? (Ngl, I find the battle system endlessly entertaining even if the game is 'eh' a lot of the time.) Final Fantasy XI: Final Fantasy Meets MMO. Final Fantasy XII: Gambit System means that you now tell your party what to do and sit back and enjoy your tactical genius (or are bored as I was.) Final Fantasy XIII: Confession time: I haven't played so I can't comment. Final Fantasy XIII-2: This one... Kinda confuses me more than a bit. Final Fantasy XIII Lightning's Return: I've only played the demo Final Fantasy XIV: MMO Not to mention their other projects like Dissidia and so on. In closing: Square Enix is far from dead and they've got plenty of creative juices left to use if given a chance. Call em out on their stupid sure, but when they do things right, respect it.

+Blaze Templar I am a star ocean fan,the problem is they ran out of ideas and changed the final fantasy into another star ocean(or KH) The last creative thing they made was "THE LAST REMNANT" it was unique.But you won't get it don't you? ever since enix started touching final fantasy,it has been corrupted and it will be worse

I am sure you are/will be pleased with what they did to FF15(controlling 1 character) and what they will to FF7 Remake.I would bet my money you would find those innovative haha

+zxn6869 Theme of the Empire is a song I can't get tired of lol.

+Samantha Soland i LOVED legend of dragoon...its so expensive to buy now due to its rarity...i might spoil myself this christmas :)

+Scully You mean turn to shit after Tetsuya Nomora took the reins and turned each game into his own little private fashion show instead of working on a deep, epic, story with lots of epic climaxes and character development?

+Peter German Same. I have gone around wishing for this remake for almost 20 years... and then I hear that arrogant egomaniac fashion queen Tetsuya Nomura is gonna direct it, and put his mark on it. Only now do I realize my folly in wishing for a remake of a classic, considering what a shit-factory Square(enix) has become.

Do the K-pop Dance!!

+Kryssy128 10 was good, it could have been on par with 7 and 8 but the execution was somewhat poor especially as the game progressed.

thats just a conspiracy scully ;P

+GyariSan "execution was somewhat poor" Whatever that means. FFX quality-wise was great. The presentation, storytelling, character development etc were all amazing. No area was skimped on. I mean it actually felt like a long movie or TV show. And that's the mark of a great game - when the only real thing that makes people dislike it is their own lack of connection.

+Conny Chan thanks!
