Evgenia Medvedeva's exibition at Pyeonchang, please!
When Children Rule the World by Ryoko Moriyama in 1998 in Nagano, Japan
Midnight Mountain Home from Spyro: Year of the Dragon by Stewart Copeland, please.
This reminds me of the cutscene where the parade starts in Deling City and you see all of those dancers doing those insane routines in front of the Sorceress float while this song is playing.
They should do a parade like that
I remember seeing this. When the familiar tracks of FFVIII came on, I got so excited! It’s one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time. They have great taste in music. Unfortunately I can’t comment on their swimming technique because I can’t swim myself lol. But from a performing and dancing background, I can say it looks nice 👍 lol
It sure does! 🙂
Wish I could've seen it live myself, FF8 was a childhood favourite
They should try with Bliztball 🤣
That was FFX :)
They need Otherworld in a swimming routine...
😂
Witnessing Final Fantasy VIII music at the Olympics gives me chills.
The final pose is reminiscent of a sillhoute of Ultimecia's head. :o
3:18 Normal people see legs. FF fans see gunblades.
The influence of video game music is incredible, bravo to both swimmers and FFVIII's amazing soundtrack!
Whether people like FFVII or not, there’s no denying that FFVIII has an iconic soundtrack, it’s that amazing. It makes me happy to see some FFVIII Songs used in non-gaming events.
Did they really do this?
Or is it fake?
@@JohnRambo1947-July-6th this actually happened
@@gushen_ awesome 👍
I've only heard about this performance because of the music. So glad to finally watch it! Final Fantasy 8 is one of my favorite games!
This performance was better than any Blitzball match lol...Wonderful performance!
Heard this back then. First thing I thought was Edea. 😂
An impressive combination! I wonder what other video game music was incorporated into sporting events like this, and how many points did they receive?
👏👏👏👏👏
FF8 music starts with Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec at 1:59 with Liberti Fatali after - Those 2 mins before are not FF8 :(
Gotta admit it goes perfectly, though! 😁👍🏻
The Ending Part Is This fithos lusec wecos vinosec ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Agonie des angles 4 by Saint-Preux
"Agony of Angels 4"
So I was doing an ffviii wiki dive (as you do) and I found out this. I feel... complete now
i was actually imagining those lizard like statues from ff8 (when Rinoa was held captive by Edea) and they would jump off the pool when the music starts synchronizing along with the swimmers lol
I can't believe Final Fantasy was in the Olympics! Shows how far video games have come.
And today the main theme, final boss theme from 13, and the Victory Fanfare were at the opening :)
What a wonderful performance of Team USA!!!
🇺🇸 👏
Did they get bronze medal?
Water and water and water water
Thats Edea's parade theme and Liberi Fatali from Final Fantasy 8 hahaha
I just wonder how Mr Uematsu felt after hearing this in the olympics.
Square enix probably sued their asses for copyright infringement
He is thinking where’s my royalty cut?
If sirens and mermaids were real, I think they would have the same attitude and vibe as this performance. Alluring yet sinister and unpredictable.
Quistis does this at Balamb in her spare time
♥Final Fantasy VIII
Water and water and water water.
"Gaming is not a form of culture"
The not-culture:
Japanese broadcast of the Olympics opening ceremony: *plays the Dragon Quest theme in full*
NBC broadcast: “We have no idea what music ithis is, so we’ll just cut the beginning with some trailer we made.”
@@CarbyGuuGuu lmao 🤣
final fantasy goes olympic
WATER AND WATER AND WATER WATER
Wonderful performance!❤❤❤❤
Kinda of late but I believe if there was a judge from Japan plus he/she is a fan of FF's series, they must gave a bonus point.. Haha,
this gives me chills !
Does anyone know the name of the song that plays at the very beginning of the routine before Fithos Lusec Wecos Venosec starts?
Edit: I was able to use Shazam to determine that the song that plays before the FF8 music starts is called Agonie Des Angles 4 and is by an artist called Saint-Preux, but there's a different song that plays before that one that Shazam doesn't recognize. If anyone could help me find that one, I'd really appreciate it.
Edea and Ultimecia!
I heard about the Final Fantasy series by Square Enix, but I heard Chocobo Racing for the PlayStation.
So basically saying they're witches then
Sorceress gadammit!!!! They're called sorceress.
I would like you to upload a lot of these things with all of the artistic swimming footage of one piece swimsuits, fresh legs and underwater scenes.
They should try one winged angel next time
These songs are better than the FF7.
FF8 was the prime of Uematsu
Vipra Khalnayak *cough cough* FF6 *cough cough*
Fanatos22 that would be hilarious
Wonder if there was anyone who made a choreography with One Winged Angel for the Olympics (I'm not a FF fan, I knew about the music just because of a meme)
Gracias y saludos cordiales desde Mallorca para vosotros olimpic momentos
Very good choice
This is My Favorites
Hello! That's incredible
Hello! You're right 😍
Show this to every boomer who thinks video games aren't art or even a fad that will be forgotten.
beautiful!!
We went from this in Athens 2004 to getting tons of Square Enix music for the 2020 opening!
So epic ×_× ♥️
Fantas-tic! 💥
@@Olympics yeah >~
I should learn...
You can do it! 👍
11 años de experiencia
So from the perspective of olympic swimmers themselves how does this look? I imagine something like, Fithos.. *glug blub gwlblbwblv* Vinosec.. *blub blub gblwlll glub glob* aaaaAaaAaA *bllbb glob glub blblshwhlhs* SPLASH **Applause**
i think I heard that these pools have underwater speakers so that they can at least somewhat hear the music.
Will there be another The Z Team episode??
Ff8 😍
I'm wondering what's the reason they choose ff songs
Because they like geek stuff.
They’ve Junctioned to one and other....
What did they place?
Third
just wait until they summon leviathan..
Duuuude! Yes.
Didn't a US Men's Gymnastic team do a floor excersise routine to the Mortal Kombat theme song in 1996?
Can i get from 2010 winnter olympic's America's figure skating duo devis and wgite's orginal dance rutin.. Plz
Can anyone tell the name of the first song?? It was not final fantasy but also good
Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec, there you go. Don't know if you'll see this or if it's the right song, saw it on the Wiki for music from FF8 which mentioned this
Ok, I'll die in peace when someone does Slave Knight Gael or Great Grey Wolf Sif
Then you will not know peace
But only demons souls and bloodborne were made using live orchestra not dark souls :/
@@2tooful what of It? Is that a requisite that the piece used is orchestrated?
@@turinmormegil7715 I don’t care either way , just have heard the music purists mentioned it
@@2tooful well then I don't care either. If the purists don't like it, that's their problem. All I want to know is if they allow only orchestrated pieces
Sun flower and suge
So, is the official name of this sport artistic swimming or synchronized swimming?
The name has officially switched to "Artistic Swimming" 👍
@@Olympics Tks boys i strenge the name on PanAm Games competion but not now 😊😊
The most popular synchronized swimming routine ever?
This dance please sorceress Edea
But it didn't pleased Ultimecia sadly, she's still about to compress the time 😔
0:40 was that on accident or on purpose? Sorry I know nothing about this sport...
Totally on purpose, sadly she didn't took a lot of high and we can't see the right position.
Primer premio.
i was expecting FF8 boss battle music
lol those first two minutes sound like nothing from final fantasy weird
That's because the music in those first 2 minutes aren't from final fantasy
@@Kaori_Suzuki "ffviii's soundtrack inspired"?
@@attackofthecopyrightbots It's common for different songs to be used in the one routine. They don't have to have the same origin.
@@TheWindWaker333 Is this video trending or something?
@@attackofthecopyrightbots Well ff8 remastered released so ff8 content is probably getting more views.
Ight do doom now
Creepy
I witness men and women everywhere making an attempt and consequently now having to take power over over their very own issues, you are not about to be prepared to become empowered in case you are not able to put together the choice that sets you free. The truth is the choices in life we come up with are positively or in some instances poorly reinforcing our behaviors and also our own lives.
