Final Fantasy VIII 'Don't be Afraid' Orchestral Loop

This is an orchestral arrangement of Final Fantasy VIII "Don't be Afraid" theme from Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec album, cut out and connected into one continuous song by me.

You can find many X-hours loops of certain music themes on YouTube nowadays - but are they really looped or simply replayed?
For my own listening pleasure I sometimes decide to properly "glue" the song as if it was actually continuously played. Perhaps some of you might find it pleasant as well.

Whenever I hear this song, my brain immediately remembers the sound of Quistis' whip cracking at the start of battle!

There is one thing that cannot be denied, about FF8:

That game had one of the best soundtracks in the series. Maybe THE best for the fact that Faye Wong had such a great love song in the final scenes of the game.

Absolutely great battle theme for the random encounters.

[JianoJoel]

My favorite Final Fantasy of all time and i absolutely love the score! Brings back memories

The FF7 battle theme is iconic but this one is just so much more exciting.

[CraigStCyrPlus]

The arrangement here is spectacular. The pounding orchestra gives me chills.

[JeffBreyer]

This is my absolute favourite version of Dont Be Afraid and to hear it extended is a heck of a treat.

This loop is perfect for the gym. Makes cardio very intense..haha

[Inmate]

The best thing about this theme: the name of it

[sarahvee]

When I was a little kid and I used to play FF VIII I always let the turn wait to play this theme over and over again, it made me feel brave and strong ahaha

[crisstrider]

This sounds like the track for a full-scale war against two armies, instead of a small encounter between 3 people and some monsters.

This is one of the best pieces of music I have ever heard feeling so nostalgic listening to this

[killianoshaughnessy]

I can imagine the FFVIII remake have MMO gameplay to it via the SEED missions. I've always felt that the SEED mercenary aspect of the game had so much potential in making the game have more things to do. I hope the remake will flesh it out more.

It's a story about a group of war orphans trained from a young age, being sent to fight the same wars as their ancestors, killing soldiers and assassinating world leaders being manipulated by a sorceress transcending time and space to gain power throughout history.

And this is the battle music for such a story.

This Song remember me on 1999.That was better Times there.❤

[Takuma_Sakazaki]

This really brings great memory of my beautiful youth. ❤

[Kairigi]

I wish they would make a movie about FFVIII with all these godlike immersive orchestral soundtracks

[cappuccinogoodfinger]

One of the few little things FFVIII managed to pull.
Fast forward to 2017, the CG might be outdated but VIII still has the best battle theme amongst FF.

[persephonicjon]

Oh god this song...I want a remake now !!

[serkiznatz]

The violin in the background at 0:53 is so good.
FF16 battle theme has it too right at the start of the track. Just superb.

Thank you for not including that odd climax they normally do towards the end of this track!
