The song is Jill deepest feelings for Clive… her song for him

Didnt play this song and don’t know the characters but im crying anyway. FF has a way of doing that to you for sure. Same happened with ff13-2, with yuel’s theme

this game lowkey changed my life

Gav realizing and just taking it in there with his head down for a minute really sent me over the edge. After all they’d been through, from when he first met an unfeeling Clive obsessed with nothing to revenge, to the day that the light returned to Clive’s eyes when he reached out to save Gav, to the years they spent together as Clive’s best man. Torgal was really bad but Gav got me the worst for sure.

What kind of piano is that? Last time i heard it a game was The Sabotuer

Still one of my favorite songs

my first FF and it broke my heart

I don’t even play FF, this soundtrack is beyond perfect.

When this song came out after the ending, I cried endlessly. This music breaks my heart. Even if someone who doesn’t know the game content hears it, he will cry.

It’s been almost a year since I beat FF XVI. I started a new save few days ago. Still not over the ending. XV and XVI endings made me cry. I love it when a game has a so GOOD story it makes you emotional. Fucking love this game and FF in general!

This game broke me.

I want this Song to perform in the oscars

Bald mario

Star light (say goodnight)
Star bright, where have you fallen?
Star light (say goodnight)
Star bright, I hear you calling
Fire, a fire that filled the night
Fire that warmed and brightened my life
My guiding light
On high
My hearth, my beacon, and my hope
A sky of scattered tears
A thousand years apart
Should they fade, I will not be afraid of the dark
For your flame still burns inside me, deep within my heart
Showing me a new tomorrow
Never too far
And when I cannot bear the pain
I’ll look up to the sky and pray
That though our night is over, you shall always remain
Forever my treasure, my star

“Forever, my treasure. My star” this song absolutely broke me.

i showed the ending to my mum, knowing she is a fan of music like this, losely telling her the context and when the video ended she said “he survived right?”

This on Spotify?

Awoo

I never played this game and this song had me tearing up on the trains in Japan.

Damn, bro ded fr huh

Most powerful and impacting ending in any video game, in history. I’ve played far too many games in my life, including all of the FFs. This game is a classic and will forever be remembered.

me cago en todo porque murio.
……… duele …duele mucho …..
denle un final mejor que este si vale no como el puñetero 15😊

God I fucking love this game

Come here just to share my tears again…

Can you see it Jill ?

I thought things would be different after the last DLC, but all I got was more pain

I started this game on Christmas and it took me 4 months to beat it. Not only did this song hit me hard in the ending, it made me remember the funny, happy, and infuriating moments in my gameplay. But most importantly, the depressing and sad moments meant a lot to me. I’m still surprised this game wasn’t nominated for GotY.

Really disappointed that this song was the ending of the english dub of the game they could have just played Moon gaizing and added some subtitles this song is good but doesn’t hit nearly as hard the masterpiece that was performed Kenshi Yonezu even without knowing the meaning of the words it hits like a train of emotions

Feels like a James Bond anthem song :’)

The flashbacks to when Clive and Joshua met for the first time…. too much.

What’s that weird sound… like an old fashioned type writer, or something, when she is singing? It’s jarring and distracting.

God that ending was a real punch in the gut. After so long, Square Enix has finally made a Final Fantasy game that isn’t so disappointing.

bald mario made me kill myself and then I unkilled myself just to leave this comment

this song makes me ugly cry sometimes. Im still waiting for this game to come out on PC because I dont own a ps5. It looks so great. 😭

Was there a choir version of this song with no singing?

Between this song, and the ending scene with Torval howling, I just couldn’t deal

The 2nd DLC may fix the ending for us having all eikons will give him more strength fingers crossed 🤞

This made me cry so much

You gotta play through the game for this song to hit right

And boy does it hit

”Can you see it too, Jill?” BROKE ME. The ending got me bawling like no game ever did, truly a masterpiece of game, the OST, the writing, EVERYTHING, deserved to win that award. This is my third fav song from the game, first being Away and second Find the Flame, Soken deserves more appreciation.

Still.. I refuse to believe that Clive is dead.

Incredible voice. Simply mesmerizing

Truly beautiful song, it heals my soul listening to it.
Also very FFXIV-ish

Who sings this theme? The voice is beautiful

Just finished the game, and man did this song hit! 🔥

soken: i’m gonna write a song so sad and so heart wrenching

Guys I’m trying to find similar songs like this what do I search

How dare they make us fight Jill even though she went thru so much 😭

this was the first “real game” i feel like i’ve played in a long time. Start to finish, like discovering something new entirely, a well written story, amazing gameplay. Shits got me hooked and its personally my game of the year

This is why I couldn’t play this game a 3rd time. Makes me tear up every damn time. And the cutscene… Just broke me

Ahhhh shit stop crying dude it just a song

Rip

Not even FFX broke me as hard as FF16 did. 💔💔

I hope the second dlc with add more context to the ending

Still think about this ending so much man. (SPOILERS)

I think Clive actually survives the ending because of the final cutscene of the “Final Fantasy” book. Maybe I’m huffing copium but it makes sense.

I’m so glad I stayed unspoiled for the game. I haven’t finished many games, I don’t know why I have such trouble doing it, but just pushing through and hitting every side quest made me love this game so much, and the ending genuinely devastated me for the rest of the nigh.

Just hearing the first notes of the piano broke me to tears, what a powerful and beatiful song played on the perfect moment.

I would vote for Clive Rosfield as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom!

A proper romance and a beautiful game, don’t care what the haters say, especially on these days I’m so tired of the FFVII triangle is fuckin exhausting

1:20

I hear this song so bad, because the remember ending and saddest, broke me hit harder

Even beating this game twice, I cried both times. I love the characters in this game. Clive is so well done and his character arc and progression as the hero is so good too me. Everyone in the game was so well done.

its really weird, that child jill has a more mature face than the adult version. I loved ff16 and its soundtrack andshed tears more than once, but damn, this song has no soul compared to other tracks from the OST, its just not hitting me.

This song is on repeat at the hideout. Amazing, beautiful, perfection!

holy shit this is Amanda??? I didn’t even realize this was her

i dont think it is necessary to make Clive die in the end.

The most heart-breaking story I have ever experienced in my life. Clive and Jill are the best fictional characters ever in my book, and I’ve read a lot of books.

BEAUTIFUL song. Have played through the ending 3x now and it makes me cry each time 😢 FF16 is a FANTASTIC game and I honestly thought I wouldn’t connect with the characters and the story nearly as much as I have. Thank you, Square Enix.

anyone came here from Lumpy?

Fuck this song is so good!! I’m glad the full version is on here. HOLY just found out it was sung by crystal mommy Amanda Achen!!!!

“There’s so many good stories where some brave hero has to give their life to save the day, and because of their sacrifice, the good guys win, the survivors cheer, and everyone lives happily ever after. But the hero never gets to see the ending. They’ll never know if their sacrifice actually made a difference. They’ll never know if the day was really saved. In the end, they just have to have faith. Ain’t that a bitch.”

A quote that sums up the ending so perfectly.

I finished FF16 today and now im very sad

Crying every damn time

The ending got me so hard😢

The My Star song sounds like Romantic from Yu Yu Hakusho

I couldn’t hold my tears at “a sky of scattered tears” with jill crying

Beautiful voice, lil girl creepy af 4:22

JP ending song better

FF XVI won the best soundtrack award

2:32 Is just wow

It will be criminal if we don’t get this song in the XIV-XVI crossover event. :’)

💔💔❤❤

Clive was a good person he did what was right through and through till his end😢

He was mortal trying to control the power of God’s that is to much power for one mortal to take

Even the eikons power was slowly killing him

Cuz even Clive himself knew he wasn’t coming back if he took on Ultima seeing even magic is a double edged sword that slowly kills u

This made me cry like a bitch not gonna lie was sadder then when aerith died and thst was sad but this broke me in 2 knowing that Clive wasn’t coming back and leaving everyone behind😢

2:40 😭

Till the end I hoped Joshua will live 😢 He was and still is my favourite character. I’m so devastated since I ended the game. Clive and Joshua had such a unique relationship 🥺 Since The Last Of Us and The Plague Tale Requiem, Final Fantasy XVI is a third game which made me cry so much 💔

So fucking happy they used it for the ending. Everytime the theme was played in the story I was so hooked. A banger to end the game with

fucked my heart eternally i’ll never be the same

Why isn’t this version of the song on spotify???? 😫😫

This song hits so hard for me given my scottish fold would sit next to me while i played this game and a day after i beat it he passed and on the ride from the vet this played via my youtube music……needless to say i pulled over and just cried…..

Miss you still little buddy ill see u again someday 💓 💗

Haven’t ugly cried this hard to a game’s ending since Ori and the Will of the Wisps and Telltale’s Walking Dead S1/S2.

This and Down by the River are the best songs from a video game this year.

Mario balding

Video game music cant make you depressed:
the game music:

I pray every day and night that one day I will be a good enough man to find my own Jill.

I remember crying when the red star went out.

This game was an absolute beautiful and emotional experience. Hands down one of my favorite FF from now on

I haven’t played any of the final fantasy games so i am not crying rn

I’m sorry Mario
Get well soon jump man

that one song when mario becomes bald:
Edit 1:that song when Omegle shuts down:

square better give me a dlc where jill and clive get a happy ending. If they won’t do that then at least give me a dlc with dion and terrence, JUST GIVE ME A HAPPY ENDING DAMMIT

When i found out who the singer for this song is i was like “How the hell is this NOT Mary Elizabeth McGlynn!?”
Like not only does Amanda Achen sound exactly like her but My Star could very well come off as a Silent Hill track lmao.

i wish i could forget this game and play it all over again and cry even harder

I will sing this when I go bald

I’m gonna be singing this at my mum’s funeral when she passes.

Emotional Damage: In Concert

this game and this whole franchise has given us some great theme songs to ever exist on the face of this planet. Especially this game was phenomenal with theme songs , background musics and visuals to match them. After such a long time, I have got a role playing game that I can say I would be playing again and again even if decades pass by.

One of, if not THE best game I’ve ever played. What a journey. I honestly did not expect Clive to actually die at the end. It made the game 10x better though. But also 100x more depressing.

2 months later and I can’t listen to it in its entirety…

sad af

I’m not even 30 seconds into the intro and I’m already crying

No one is going to convince me that Clive didnt make it back to Jill

I don’t even know what this game is, or what this is about. But this song is absolutely beautiful. Very reflective and inspiring.

This music broke me with FF16 ending.

Music that reminds you of the absense of hair on a certain plumber…

Im not crying i swear…..😣😖

amanda and soken should never be allowed to work together again, everytime i come back to this song i spend then next three hours sobbing

I don’t know anything about this game but that song just gave me so much chills

this song … this whole game will be looked as a classic 10 years from now

Quite literally “A Song of Ice and Fire”

Mario bald 😔

The world is yours now
Yours to do with as you wish
It’s what Cid wanted, it’s what they both wanted…..😢

So impressive, such a great song.

between this one and endwalker they have to stop 😅 I’m going to die from crying…

is this on spotify? can only find covers

I can’t believe Mario is BALD

This is one of the few games to actually make me shed tears and partly because this song is so damn beautiful….GOTY material

Two paid DLC have been said to be in development due to fan demand.
We are saved, ladies and gentlemen. This somber ending will not be the end.

Baldy bald bald

BALD! BALD! BALD!

Mario used to be bald so this music was played😅

It’s wild seeing all of the different interpretations of the ending. I couldnt agree with my friend about whether Joshua survives. He’s the Phoenix. Of course he lived hahahaha

I feel like this composition is somewhat inspired/ influenced by the infamous suicide song “Gloomy Sunday”. Melody choices and chord progressions just feel so sweet and heavy, like something you’d spill tears to over a glass of whiskey in a dimly lit jazz bar.

The song lyrics are always reminding me he probably didnt make it back despite all theories and breadcrumbs. But YoshiP is a sneaky one. There’s two DLC’s coming and a free update with alternative costumes teases us with some fan theories. On Clive’s new cloak is a big symbol just like on the epilogue book cover, which was associated with the hideout after you became the leader, also the same symbol is on a rock near Cid’s grave. And conveniently Clive’s new armor on his left arm is silver-colored nearly up until his elbow – the same arm that started to petrify but we never saw it going further. They knew what they were doing. Give us the perfect ending you hid in your basement, Square.

When Gav started crying that was the saddest part for me.
At the beginning of the game, i always thought he would betray Cid eventually. Especially when Clive says bye before heading out after first arriving at the hideaway. And Gav replies very awkwardly.But after Clive rescues him, i started liking his character a lot
Now he’s definitely my favourite side character

My bro Gav hit harder than Jill 😢

This game made all other tragic love stories I’ve known so far look like child coloring books 🥲 Clive + Jill completely destroyed my life and rewrote my brain in a way I’m obsessed and only want to draw art of them lately 😩

listening to this from time to time to relieve the pain

Thanks hungrychad, you’re always the best

Damn 🥲 just damn

If Clive is alive ,as many of you say, the ending looses sense

The Japanese ending is so much better for the ending scene … (not saying this song is bad)

“Can you sic it too Torgal?” – Clive Rosfield

“Can you see it too… Jill?”
Broke me

any chance you can do music videos for some of the eikon themes?

Es un juegazo, y es injusto que hagan críticas malas a un juego que ni siquiera los que lo critican lo han jugado, y sobre todo los youtubers que se dedican a desprestigiar solo por qué no sale en su plataforma

This song context aside still absolutely destroys me. It could not be even about FF and I still cherish those around me hearing this.

I got through the ending fine but I just started FF mode and the fact that the melody plays in the very first fight with Jill is messing me up.

Played the story twice now and i cried both times this games phenomenal

That’s what cid wanted, that’s what they both wanted.😢

It is a nice song overall, but for me the intro remains the best.

I am sad for Torgal . He will always be best boy

Reminds me of “Fly me to the Moon”

Ffxiv songs are generally in a higher range, i was so impressed with Amandas performance and whew her low voice hits the spot

ありがとう。
仕事中にリピートしてます。

Oh so yall thought yall came here for a happy ever after story lol dont hold your breathes its called final fantasy for a reason for me I broke down when Jill cried freaking SE making everyone happy then sad they make me have lots of feels

“And thus, did our journey end.”

I will never emotionally recover from this.

A SKY OF SCATTERED TEARS

‘My treasure, My star’ And that….is when I die…..

This song has yet to fail at brining me to tears.

Do you know who is “My Star”?

“I never thought a smile could bring me so much joy”

Soon as I heard them piano notes on the beach I was like ” Awww square….you bastards” 😂

This is what ive been waiting for!!! It reminded me so much of the kind of music hideo kojima put in metal gear and it felt so fitting. Also sounds like a bond theme too. Really shows how much that this game was more like a playable movie and I love it!

How many of us here broke down when Torgal howled at the moon? Was already steadily crying, but then he howled and my heart completely shattered…

So this is where those lyrics were from.

Way way back, Soken posted an image on his Twitter of a studio with the lyrics to this song on a piece of paper by the camera. I always assumed it would be a song in FFXIV.

Each time hearing this, my body shivers, my mind wanders and contemplate while tears unknowingly flows.

Just hearing the begining notes makes me want to cry while remembering that beach…dammit man.

I can’t listen to this song without crying lmao

I missed the flower side quest on my playthrough so I didn’t get the symbolism of the ‘forever, my treasure’ lyrics. It’s so tragic. It reminds me of my great grandmother telling me of the ‘love of her life’ that died when she was only 32. My Great Grandfather was not the love of her life and as a child that was so confusing to me. How could she love someone more than the man she had children with? It always stuck with me because the way her face lit up when she was remembering him was an expression I never saw from her. At 96 years old her face lit up like she was 32 again. She still loved him after that many years and that many life experiences. As an adult I get it. And it makes this ending so, so tragic. Adult and realistic despite all the magic and Gods.

This is such a romantic song! ❤

Sorry, I’m about to ruin this song for a lot of people
But what is that noise that sounds like a whole bunch of bugs scurrying across the floor during this song

A song of Ice and Fire, Ifrit and Shiva. The eternal juxtapose

I wish i could listen to this song without crying 😭

I clicked on this video for the song and thought I could handle it a month later but now Im sobbing 3 seconds in x.x

Can you see it too……jill

I can see Jill writing this song dedicated to Clive after the events of ff16. 😢

Yup, now that I saw the official lyrics I am 100% crying again

Amanda and Soken – the ultimate onion choppers
Got me every single time

So glad they got Amanda Achen to perform a song for the game, she has such an amazing voice.

Cried so much when it played … so powerful

I adore that you can interpret this song and Moongazing as being about the moon and the red star Metia respectively. It’s like they’re singing to each other, longing for each other, lamenting on how destiny will always keep them apart. The way it all ties back to Clive and Jill’s relationship is such gorgeous symbolism…I wish they got the happy ending that they deserved.

“The world’s yours now. Yours to do with as you please.
That’s what Cid wanted, that’s what they *both* wanted.”

I just finished yesterday and I keep crying like I lost a family member lol😂, this video represents perfectly the love from Jill and Clive that cannot be spend together due to Clive’s fate… well done for bringing all these pieces together and subscribed!

have you ever listened
「月を見ていた」(Tsuki wo miteita) ?
it’s japanese ver. ending

One of the most beautiful pieces of music i have heard from a video game.

havent played the game yet but shes so dead

Ice and Flames cannot be Together. 😢

This honestly sounds like a james bond theme. Love it

I played 3000+ games, I’ve never saw an ending in a video game so beautiful in my life. Ever.

beautiful

Espero que subas mas canciones del ff16:D eres el mejor!

this song man…

Literally one of the saddest and most powerful ending/credits song in a long time. I still can’t listen to it without sobbing. A showcase to the power of music and good vocals.

so nice video thanks! im not crying .. damm Soken!!

When you play FF 16 and realize its a love story between Ifrit and Shiva. For long time FF fans its both strange and amazing.

I love your music videos

Such a beautiful song for the ending of this game. Thanks for the upload 💖

😢😢😢

Ope… 😢

Emotional damage the song.

i was havin a great day till i saw this

This song broke me in 16 thousand pieces, if you read the last letter Jill sends to Clive it hits even harder reading the lyrics.

DLC WHEN YOSHI-P???

I need that bs open ending fixed, more jill & clive and leviathan.

God how much i wanna kms… 💀

That moment when you realize this is Shiva’s part of “Shattered” sung as a ballad.
