Part of the genius of this scene is how the music reflects what is happening. The chords tell you that this song should be slow and sad, but instead the tempo keeps driving it forward. Also, the score starts rather thin, with only a couple of instruments, but has more instruments joining in as it progresses. The instruments represent Zidane's companions, rushing to his side and telling him not to give up. The theme of this whole scene is: "You've done so much for all of us. Now it's our turn. You are not alone."

After bonding with the characters for so long it really hits the player (at least in my case) very hard. To see the party come together to help Zidane confront his biggest fear of loneliness, after he helped them all confront their demons, it’s a special moment.

One of the really neat things about this scene is how the pairings Zidane encounters (Vivi/Eiko, Amaranth/Freya, Quina/Steiner) are all kind of "odd couples," characters who had nothing to do with each other prior to the journey but are now working together. It adds a lot to the whole theme of companionship in this scene.

The whole scene pretty much is the pinnacle of everything that Final Fantasy once stood for: No matter how hard the fight, no matter how desperate the situation. There will ALWAYS be people joining you in your darkest hours and help you out, be there for you and help you throughout the darkest of times, no matter the cost. No matter how alone you might feel; You Are Not Alone.

But after that (including the cute scene of him and Tifa), everyone returned and wanted to join the fight. Cloud was never alone in FF7, not even in his final battle nor his darkest times, he always had someone to hold on to.

What makes this scene work for me is how Zidane's friends don't really catch that he's in his darkest hour right away. They stand by his side as a matter if course, and so when they actively try to remind him they have his back, you know it's the truth and not simply sparing his feelings.

This scene resembles what helping a loved one with depression feels like for those who care about that person. It shows that loved one in need not wanting to be a burden for their loved ones and rudely demanding to be left alone with their monsters. It also shows the perseverance that those around who care must have and the need for them to understand that the rudeness is depression speaking, not their loved one.

That moment when you realise that you've been breaking yourself up from the inside out trying to help others with their problems whilst dealing with your own by yourself, only to turn around and suddenly realise that help was always there in the form of friends and loved ones, ready to give their all to bring you back from the brink if you'll only let them for one minute. This scene captures that feeling beautifully.

Smash Bros has "Everyone is here". Final Fantasy has "You're not Alone".

I was 14 when that game was released and it was the first Time for me, that I kept a specific save from a game to listen to a soundtrack again and again... I Always thought that Zidane was represented by the electric guitar solo first, and then Uematsu added singer voices to accompagny it, like Zidane's Friends showing UP to help him and give him strenght.

By far the most emotional part of any final fantasy game.

Ff9 has always been my favorite game. I played it when I was 9. This game and the characters really shaped my vision of friendship. Back then, I did not realize what this scene meant, and that Zidane actually tried to get himself killed just to save his friends and not destroy the world. Dagga’s curaga scene is ultra powerful because it symbolizes the spark of hope Zidane needed at the most crucial moment, when his life was about to end (1Hp). I think it encourages us to never let a friend down, even when everything seems lost, because there is always something that can be done, to let our friends and family know that they are not alone.

How time changes…… look how beautiful the games were and know u see high graphics but the game can’t touch you like this …… I was 13 years old and it was remarkable for me I will never ever forget about this beautiful game probably my best … FF9 ❤️

It is indeed the greatest moment of video games history! So deep....

@@Deadflower20xx I disagree, I found Noctis to be boring as a character. Not a whole lot changes from chapter 1 to chapter 13. His whole character arc happens while he is asleep anyway. Noctis is less of a character and more of a... 'reaction' I would surmise. He finds out his father is dead? That's pretty powerful character building stuff. But Noctis has one of the most unbelievable reactions I've ever seen from a character. There's denial, which was nice to see, but then he just accepts his father's death and pretty much skips the rest of the grieving process... I mean the biggest change to his character is from the crystal sleep. Literally just skips the biggest and most important piece of his character arc and he just glosses it over. I did recently play the royal edition and it certainly smoothed out some of this, but even still Noctis just reacts to things even though we are in direct control over him. But if you felt it was a satisfying character then you are certainly welcome to it. I shan't say your opinion is objectively wrong, but I most definitely do not share your enthusiasm.

This is by far the best scene in the entire series, maybe even of all time. "There are some things kids can't understand."

Can't wait for this to be replicated in Endwalker.

I swear i can imagine the VA for Zidane here, acting all loner. If they include VA ina future remake, They need to have Bryce voice zidane again. Felt like since he did a great job as Kirito, he would be excellent here for Zidane again.

This really hits close to home.

My favorite part in the game

man best game of all time for me

The best scene on the best final fantasy

Once again Bahamut did the job and was forgotten by the group.

Rose of May - Beatrix Keeper of Time - Garland Dark Messenger - Kuja Jesters of the Moon - Zorn and Thorn You’re Not Alone - err, Amdusias, Abadon, and Shell Dragon….Yet it’s every bit as effective as any other song in the game - which really is a testament to not only how beautiful/fitting the song’s tempo is, but to how powerful this character moment is.

No offence or nothing but I see you ap Asf at this point, when I got here... Dagger saved me from the brink of DEATH!! Makes the whole scene more intense

I could've just watched this instead of replaying it on PC... But it had to be done with my own hands!

memories indeed

the scenes are nowhere near as impactful if Zidane has trance right of the bat, and if Steiner knows shock and Zidane can absorb damage from quake... The first time I played through this scene when I was 8, I got through by a hair strand. I felt like everyone really saved me 😊

Uematsu San really did a great musical score on FF 9

This is gonna turn up in Endwalker... The WoL was in a similar chair in the Launch trailer Edit: Oh boy I was wrong. The chair was for something far worse

In 5th grade I used to hum this to myself at school when I couldn’t play. Of course I didn’t really get the whole existential meltdown thing, I just remember it was cool how he gets sad and his friends don’t let him kill himself. Of course now, “FF9 is my favorite game” (been saying that for a decade now wow) is a cliche, but it’s true. There has been none better since, and the older games upon scrutiny don’t hold up. FF9 ages like the finest wine however, it’s only more relevant and popular every year. I used to fear a remake but I would love one if they could just keep their hands off the story, it’s literally PERFECT. I think we’re better off without a remake though, this scene will hold up forever. Also using Mega Flare to end the last battle was sick, this is a great video!

Damn, you got the golden fork.
