watch this in 2023.. the live version is more natural.. what a talent..

she so pretty

As much i love Angela Aki, nobody will ever sing it better than Faye Wong

2020 and I'm revisiting FF8 again. This is my absolute favorite song from any Final Fantasy and this is my first time seeing this video. This song will never get old to me

歌い終わった後、観客の声援に対する笑顔がめっちゃくちゃ可愛いなーって、当時見てて思いました！今見てもカワイイ！！

Such a lovely song by Faye Wong, so angelic and magical. I hope that if Square ever remake FF8, they will keep this version. of Eyes On Me.

와 녹는다

she has such a lovely voice.... love this song!!

これが見たかった・・・ありがとう

Nobou Uematsu is a genius. Even now his works gets better and better for every song he makes for the FF series...

My friend first played this song on piano when i was 11 years old, and I only knew the song as an instrumental. i searched YEARS for the song, and this girl I have a crush on managed to identify the song about a year ago...she was a final fantasy freak....and I'm 19 now....imagine that...took me 7 friggin years to find out the name of this song and hear the real version.

this song will always remind my childhood, im gonna play again FFVIII today ♥♥♥

she has the most beautiful voice...and live too!

damn man! she's so beautiful.

Despite our different paths - this is still our song.

best final fantasy song ever

いつ聴いても最高やな

Very romantic, well done Faye!

OMG ... I LOVE HER VOICE ******

So amazing. Thank you from Germany. I love Final fantasy and the voices!

First Final Fantasy song with lyrics and its still the best.

this song remind me of the time that i spent playing the game ff8. it is still one of the best RPG.no doubt about it.

Long live Final Fantasy VIII. The second Final Fantasy game I have played when I was 13.

wow!!!!! i love this...

I love it❤

Amazing.

I love her.

2022 and the song is still good

Beautiful...I love Faye!

So lovely.... The song melt my heart...❤🌹

woot! Girl you rock!! Even live you sound beautiful!!

I love this song since 8 years ago...

Yes, definitely yes to that! :D

wonderful

What a voice...

can not believe it is live

i cried whenever i listen to this song.. reminds me of FF8.. why did it has to end so short?? Why is there no sequel?? ...

I've always thought it was "I never sang my songs" too. On a closer inspection, that line is purposely written in incomplete sentence. Just look at the following lines after that: "Whenever sang my song On the stage, on my own Whenever said my words" Even though there's no 'I' in the lines with 'whenever', it is implied. They flow together and sound nice together when sung, even though it doesn't make sense.

I remember getting half way through disk 3 of FF8, finished clearing the Properganda' from the Ragnarok and sitting back and listening to this song for the first time in full lyrical version. It was at that point that I just fell in love with this song

Still my favorite theme song for a Final Fantasy game. Even if it is 10 years old...man that makes me feel kinda old. LOL

Beautiful Song... Reminds me of a girl who meant the world to me..

me too...it was a historical moment in Final FantasyVII i think! The first voice in a Final Fantasy Game ever! and it felt so good to bring Rinoa back after the Ragnarok story...well thanks to Ward and Kiros! ;) Faye Wong is the Best Rpg singer Ever! And not only Eyes on me...there a lot of songs she performed, and i love Them!

So pretty... 😊

Faye i love you xD

I think that was referring to the place where Squall's father and Rinoa's mother met.

Faye Wong is really pretty

awesome

That was soooo deep, brings back memories of that HELL OF A GAMEE. FUCKIN BRILLIANT

I would like to thank you UltimeciaFFB for the use of this video, that has made my version of this video so successful over the past 6 and a half years. here is to the next 6 and a half years :-)

beutiful just so amazing this is better than all the other ones... no offense

its whenever, its like shortend from when i ever

OHHH THIS IS SOO NICE

@EmeraldLance I would absolutely love to play a game about Laguna That'd be awesome... this song makes me wanna play ff8 again.

@tsama I'm right there with you man!

It is "Whenever sang my songs", just look up the lyrics

@tsama Frist time I seen the person who sing this? Yeah the game did come out 11 years ago, I played it for the frist time 9 years ago. That's one of those games I can play agin.

Actually,Raine was the one who said that about Julia's true love that went to war.She read in a magazine when Laguna asked her what Eyes on Me was about.

yeah he changed after floating to winhill, as kiros says, eventually though, to rescue ellone he becomes a traveller again, helped by raine dying if you play the game more thoroughly you'd come to the conclusion he did love julia back in the day, and she did love him too, it was just never meant to be. Go to final fantasy wikia to read all about it if you like.

granted, I've never played any of the other games, but I really want to. Nobody can mix great music with a great storyline in a GAME quite as well as the makers of Final Fantasy can!

Oh This music, Remember Squall & Rinoa in Ragnarok !!!!? THE BEST GAME EVER MADE !!

well, if you're talking about this vid...yea she was in he late 20's..now she is 39, but still she is very beautiful!!

思い出の曲ですよ…

I can only say this is Amazing

@turbobenx People usually ask me why I like 8 more than the others... glad to find someone who agrees.

0:38 god, her voice....

@Cephas Actually, I would say that Faye Wong's english is better than 99% of americans.

What is it about this song....there is something beyond just the music and the words

@joepod ultra bending zoom tech from the 90's

I heard back when she first recorded this..she barely spoke any English, she just memorized the sounds of the words...but it's so pretty :]

I mean they got some of them wrong. I love this song to. It also suports the match up in the game

I guess when people wanna past time or make good memories live on, they'll come up with any number of things. Lol. Even though I'm a "new FFVIII fan", but this theory does kinda, intrigue me. A love before time...reminds me of that Coco Lee song.

@AndrewCedricThe2nd FF8 was a good game and all. But the story ended with a happy ending, more than plenty of closure, and was complete with its fair share of deus ex machina. I'd love to see more story, especially with music like this! I don't know how they could possibly add to it though. Maybe do kinda like what they did for Crisis Core; a prequel leading up to the main game, maybe Laguna's story? Totally with you in wanting to see more FF8, though. ^-^

My FAV song ever...even tops Suteki Da Ne for me....my opinion, but no one sings it better than Faye! On a side note, watching this vid, anyone else get dizzy near the end? lol

Thumbs up if you think 7 and 8 are the absolute best in all of Final Fantasy.

I'll mark my views with this comment to be see 10yrs later from today.

@Kimidori81 Isn't this song about Laguna and Julia, not Squall and Rinoa...?

The Japanese text talks about a heavy rain warning in Gunma prefecture. They were OK.

Laguna walked towards the stage but got his leg cramped.

Honestly...which artist is able to sing better in a live concert? That's just wrong. (not really) So damn good.

wow 7 years? I really feel bad for you. but still since you don't know the lyrics of the song, it's probably hard to find. Great song though, totally worth the 7 years

All the Final Fantasies have their own part of them that makes them great. It is a fact that Squall is more badass than Tidus. Why? Tidus isn't a badass. He's a softy, and an epic softy at that. It's not fair to say one is better than another, because they're all VERY different (except VII and VIII).

Eyes on me is about laguna. I am more interested in laguna story than squall. Maybe SE can consider a prequel about laguna just like crisis core about zack.

Nice LYPSNCing of this artist

wow Nostagalia just hit me hard in the ass, this song really gets me. In my opinion this is the mst popular song of all FF people here recognize this song more than the latest FF theme

and you get to hear it at the end of the game were you like me when you completed it, and you were like SHEEEEET this is eyes on me! ? no? oh well.

How does the camera do that??

@MBacon101 Nope. She speaks well in English right way before this song. She went abroad for a while for a short course early 90's.. :)

Nonononononono!

2:14 that face singing those specific lyrics tell me there's a backstory there lol

Ain't she cute ^^ Anyway, great song and pretty good voice

I think im in fantasy

dude,I'm talking about what I saw in the game. How do you know Laguna loved Julia? He was infatuated,sure.But just left,never came back and seemed to move on pretty quickly. Now,the game said pretty openly that Laguna indeed loved Raine.

@turbobenx not just more bad ass, Squall has proven to be a better faster and stronger fighter physically, and mentally than them

Thanks. But yeah,I didn't get the feeling that Laguna deeply cared for Julia.His love was Raine.

Faye Wong fills the void of Teresa Teng's early demise.

what's wuv?

Laguna didn't even love Julia.He was just a fan with a crush.She liked him though. Laguna didn't even care when he found out that Julia married General Caraway.

FFVIII needs a remake!!!

@turbobenx i agree. but 7 had the best story i think. the more recent ones are jus getting more twee n shit as they progress thru the series'

he was totally infatuated by her at the time, and loved her, by the time he heard she married general carraway he had began to change and wanted to marry raine, he also thought julia was in love with carraway, as she was and had moved on, which she hadn't "her true love went off to war and never came back"
