This song is literally the sound of hope, when all is lost.

Beyond epic... still rocking this 2024. Used to sit in the world of balance and just listen to this wo lyrics endlessly

遥か遠く　夜を越えて Haruka tooku yoru o koete Crossing the distant night, 砂漠の海を　彷徨う Sabaku no umi o samayou Wandering the desert sea. 神の声は　蜃気楼 Kami no koe wa shinkirou The gods' voices are mirages; 忘れられた人々 Wasurerareta hitobito The forgotten people. 影は白く　揺らめきたつ Kage wa shirōku yurameki tatsu Shadows flicker palely, then stand; 今ひとたびの　幻 Ima hitotabi no maboroshi For one moment, an illusion. 蒼く燃える　勇者の夢 Aoku moeru yuusha no yume A hero's dream, burning blue, 永遠に眠る人々 Towa ni nemuru hitobito The people, sleeping forever.

Just hummed this to my son to get him to sleep after ABCs and Twinkle Twinkle kept failing; he usually loves the latter. First attempt with this and it knocked him out. Thanks, Nobuo. This dad'll get some decent rest tonight.

it brings me tears... ffVI is my favorite game and is very very special to me, because i have so many good moments playing it, i laughed and cried in many chappters of this beautifull story, and it will be in my heart until i die

When I was younger, I heard this version and fell in love with it. I'm glad I was able to find it again.

It's almost 2022 and I am still listening to this song. Too classic.

Ah yes. here's the one! This is one of the best versions! I havent listened to this in a long, long time...

I miss Squaresoft... Square Enix being, honestly, a failure in continuing the extraordinary quality of what used to be "Final Fantasy", not only the mediocre attempt of Squeenix at doing new "Final Fantasy" games but also the reminder like this wonderful piece of musical art that is Terra's Theme left me with a bitter taste of knowing that not even the clown who bought the rights for Final Fantasy licence can't produce a quality of the same tier as FF6 to 10...

I think this is one of the most beautiful songs ever written in music history.

Close your eyes and listen to the song. What do you see? I see Terra, Locke and the rest of the group walking through the World of Ruin, taking in all the sights of people struggling in this world, animals slowly dying, red skies, polluted waters, barren landscape, and all concluding with the Tower of Kefka.

Very few songs can project wonder and fantasy and rarely can they bring a tear to my eyes. This is a spectacular masterpiece that can grip both effortlessly and sticks with you for hours, perhaps days, on end.

This song randomly inspired me to write an entire 160-page novel the first time I heard it; going for a walk in the freezing night air. When I begin to conceptualize a story, I become another person. One that, apparently, was so dead-set determined not to let anything ruin the initial train of thought, I snarled and barked like a feral animal at three dudes all in black on the sidewalk--my path otherwise obfuscated and blocked off. But I had to keep moving--no stopping at all, or the train will derail. So I snarled at them, as a lunatic would, to scare them away to hold onto what became my most-popular book to date. All thanks to this song.

This gives me chills......

Crossing the distant night, Wandering the desert sea. The gods' voices are mirages; The forgotten people. Shadows flicker palely, then stand; For one moment, an illusion. A hero's dream, burning blue, The people, sleeping forever.

Over ten years and I keep returning to this. Thanks for keeping it up.

The most beautiful song of the videogames history.

I always heard that Terra's theme was good ,I didn't play FFVI, but they were wrong! This is a masterpiece! I was soo moved by it

This is incredible. I'm seriously almost crying. Right in the feels.

Absolutely beautiful. Moving.

Love this song, lyrics are beautiful Risa's voice amazing.. This was also my most favorite Final Fantasy out of all so far.

Made me shed tears..so beautiful.

Finally found this version again. Last heard it on my cd back in 2002.

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard in my lifetime.

I haven't heard this version in years, not since before my old old compy died the hard way. Thanks for posting!

Thanks so much for the upload

Happy 20 years, FF6!

For me this is the best version of terra of all youtube

I always seem to find my way back to this song and this game. This game is a reflection of what strength really is. It isn't just being a badass character on a quest for vengeance or survival. Being strong is about having weakness of the heart and mind that you work to overcome. The real strength of the characters if this RPG masterpiece is that they still feel human. You can believe in their struggles. You can still empathize with them, and they feel all the stronger when you see how far they've come since their journeys began. The modern era of games can keep their "Strong Female Protagonists". Terra and Celes are the only two I need to know.

I found it! Been about 10 years or so since I've heard this...brings back so many memories...

This song is everything ❤

Reminds me so much of Ennio Morricone

あら懐かしい。CD今も持ってます。

Wow that was glorious. Squall's theme used to be my favorite character theme, then I came here..... Go Terra.

Hauntingly Beautiful.

FINALLY!!!! A great remake of this character's song that does it justice! I've never heard one that sounded right until now.

Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda best composers from games ever.

This is beatiful ! :)) Lovely sounding !

AND THATS WHAT I CALL OVERLY EPIC AWESOME MUSIC!!!

wow very cool version..this is my favorite FF song of all time this makes it so much more!

Beautiful!

It's totally worth your time. Terra is easily one of my favorite FF heroines.

I heard so many versions but this one is unbeatable

Epic, this speaks so loudly to my heart.

Beautiful.

by far my most favorite version.

sublime, parfait

this is beautiful😭

Influencing me from my childhood to this very day.. The perfect story.

And thank you for this lovely spoiler!

Love that you just skated over Squall.

i love this song it takes me back to when i was playing the game on the snes it was the best

love this song!!

Just started playing FFVI for the first time on iphone(controls are abysmal on phone). better late then never. This song brings chills all over my body. Just played the intro and I know I'm gonna experience something amazing

Wonderful voice of Risa Ohki... I very love it, especially in The Promised Land

amazing

This is so very beautiful. It really captures the beauty but also sorrow of the lovely fictional (and in my eyes)Goddess Terra wonderfully. I would love to be her lover if she were real.

Its like 10 pm.. and these lyrics was stuck in my head... i had to sing it over and over to remember its from ffvi .. then i had to look up the title..... insomnia's kicking my ass

I got this on the original CD when it came out. And here.... almost 15 years later.... it still makes me tear up.

This is sublime beauty incarnate as music

superbe !!! merci ^^

Terra is amazing

This version owns all others. The original was amazing, this just blows it away.

Nostalgia Deffo one of the best FF up there x

Love it.

one of best songs ever created by human manking, top 100 alltime !

Thank the gods, I thought I lost this one. I wanted to hear it today and had to scroll until I noticed the thumbnail.

So epic !

Excellent.

this song is called Wanderer of Time from the album Final Fantasy Pray :D nice version :D

this is great

@DamascusTest I agree completely. It was arranged by Risa Ohki (who is also the singer), Toshiro Mitsutomi, Masatsugu Shinozaki, and Yoshiro Nakamura. This song is actually called Toki no Hōrōsha (Wanderer of Time in English), and it's from the album Final Fantasy: Pray. The orchestra used in the performance isn't named on the cd. This is one of my favorite Final Fantasy albums.

I swear, I've been looking for this cover for years! I can't believe I finally found it!

Anyone else hear the laughter at 2:14 and up?

The intro is really fascinating

C'est beau!!

Awesome thanks for the lyrics I

I definitely don't mind this being stuck in my head..

@7RadicalDreamers What I love most about Terra is seeing her becoming ever stronger and ever more emotionally confident as the game progresses. And what happens to her in post-apocalyptic Mobliz is golden - first she loses her fighting spirit to tend care of the children, but then regains it later on!

For everybody asking what the name of this version of Terra/Tina's theme is, it's called Toki no Horousha.

This particular arrangement of the song is called 'Wanderer of Time' and was featured on the 'Final Fantasy: Pray' vocal collection.

Anne Boleyn brought me here Blessings and Hugs 💖💕💕💕💕

That´s damn true. We do not only like Terra because she was the first female main character in Final Fantasy, but also because we loved her emotional struggle of who she is and why she exist

Holy crappola!, this brings back memories. 8 bit to this amazing track... I need to buy some tickets for the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds when they come in Toronto on Nov 27th. Nobuo Uematsu is a genius.

Son of a submariner... Now I can't stop hearing it!

Leave it alone. Its perfect. The music, the struggle, the story....god the story. Please leave it alone everyone.

I played this when I was 5 and managed to get to the sealed gate and unleash the espers on Vector. After that, I left the game because it was too hard. Picked it up 10 years later, and was amazed at how all the music and the story blended together. Best game I ever played.

I wholeheartedly agree and have been saying so for years. FF7 was amazing but I always thought FF6 was the best of all of them and there's so many people who never started playing the series until FF7. It makes me sad.

all i every do is cry when i hear terras theme its so amazing

Just a great song to go with a great great game

Beautiful Song, and the game was Epic too, I hope one day they remake it on PS3

So, I gotta admit. I haven't actually played any of the games, but love the music! Maybe one day when I'll have the time to spare...

best one... by far

Good Music for a last Journey!

Its from an album called "Final Fantasy: Pray" the song is nicknamed "Wanderer of Time" on that album. Sung by Risa Ohki

Too much emotion for my heart, I dying!

Well said.

I love Yoshitaka Amano's art (that pic of Terra was done by him) He's done so much art for the FF series and also did some art with Vampire Hunter D.

I love you for commenting that :) Zidane and Terra are indeed the best Duodecim characters :) As well as amazing games. Will alwasy love Zidane and Terra :) Its a shame they don't meet up until duodecim :) But i like garnet too a little :) Liked your comment :)

To end all the arguments: yes, FF VI is the greatest game ever made.
