Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec

[I Don't Need A Name]

Anyone checked this album out?
i really like what they have done with the songs
also, what does Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec actually mean?

[Elpizo]

I thought that with the letters of "Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec" you could form "Succession of Witches" and "Love", 2 important things in FF VIII. "Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec" itself has no meaning or can't be translated, since it's just made up, I believe.

Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec is the second best thing to have ever spawned from final fantasy music.

The first would of course be the black mages. But man. FLWV makes Blue Fields and Ami listenable :p

[I Don't Need A Name]

Oh thanks Elpizo
haha you have a point there rubah. i would say 3rd best. Black Mages, Piano collections, then FLWV

[The Ceej]

Okay. I didn't know Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec was a group. I just thought it was a compilation album carrying some of the songs from Final Fantasy VIII. I always felt I didn't need it, seeing as how I had the whole soundtrack anyway.

But yeah. It sounds Latin, and that's the point. Because the rest of the lyics in those songs are Latin. It's an anogram like stated above.

Piano Collections. That would be much better if they knew what songs sound good on piano. Eternal Harvest was good. Kefka's theme was horrible. You just can't play Kefka's theme on a piano. It doesn't work. These are things they need to work out before releasing albums. And this is why I don't own any Piano Collections albums.

Can someone tell me what kind of remakes that Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec does? I'd like to know what to expect before downloading a couple songs on dialup to see if I like them and then buying the album if I do.

[Heath]

The Ceej: I don't know, I quite liked Kefka's theme done on the piano. It didn't sound right, but I quite liked how the piano collection version sounded different. Coin Song is the best FFVI song done on the piano though.

I'm also curious about FLWV, as I've never listened to it.

This is the tracklisting for Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec. It's simply orchestrated versions of selected songs from the FFVIII soundtrack (though Eyes on Me, Liberi Fatali and the Ending Theme are essentially unchanged as they were already orchestrated on the original soundtrack). I don't think it's a group, people seem to be confusing this with the Black Mages.

Track listing

1. "Liberi Fatali" – 3:08
2. "Blue Fields" – 3:38
3. "Don't be Afraid" – 3:49
4. "Balamb Garden - Ami" – 5:16
5. "Fisherman's Horizon" – 4:01
6. "Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec" – 4:38
7. "Eyes On Me" – 5:43
8. "The Man with the Machine Gun" – 3:36
9. "Dance with the Balamb-fish" – 3:16
10. "Love Grows" – 4:35
11. "The Oath" – 5:09
12. "Ending Theme" – 13:22
13. "Fragments of Memories" – 4:05

[The Ceej]

You know. That's what I thought to begin with. Why do I let people that no little to none of what they're talking about confuse me like this.

No offense if you're one of those people who know little to none of what you're talking about.

[I Don't Need A Name]

I never said that FLWV were a group it IS just a compilation album which i found quite good. I don't see what you dont like about piano collections. they make things like the X-2 sountrack become beautiful and bearable, and increase the amazingness of songs like Eyes On Me and Melodies Of Life

[charliepanayi]

Yeah but the point The Ceej was trying to make (I don't know how right or not they are as I don't own any Piano Collections) is that in their opinion some songs on the Piano Collections sound good but others are chosen with less care and sound poor.

[The Ceej]

Something like that. The point I was trying to make was that some songs just don't sound right on the piano. That they should choose songs that sound beautiful on the piano. Every soundtrack has plenty of these songs. I think they just choose the best songs and not the songs that would sound best on the piano. I've heard less than ten songs from Piano Collections albums, but from what I've heard, it's pretty hit and miss.

I would've said it was more hit than miss. Some songs that I didn't think would translate particularly well over to the piano, like Final Battle (FFIX) was actually fairly decent. I really enjoyed the FFVII-IX piano collections and can only think of one or two that weren't done that well.

I was told that "Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec" was meant to be Latin for "Thy future untold" or something along those lines.

I'm pretty skeptical of that as they're not very Latin words at all. Not that I'm an expert in Latin or anything (the closest I come to that is being semi-fluent in French), but I'm pretty sure "sec" isn't a typical way for a Latin word to end. As for "wecos", with the way the choir pronounces it the spelling should be "wicos".

Just an anagram made to sound Latin. This must be some kinda revenge against all those white boys who try to say things that sound Japanese.

[Vivisteiner]

Its sure as hell not Latin.

Its just an anagram of 'Succession of Witches'.

[Fynn]

It is not latin which you can see from the start, because it has a "W" in it...

But a latin teacher in my school said that it's ancient greek. Although, she couldn't translate it without the whole context...

[The Ceej]

Yeah. It's been said a quarter million times already.

Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec is not Latin, but an anagram designed to sound like Latin.

However, the point people don't seem to be getting is why it's supposed to sound like Latin. Because the rest of the song is in Latin and that needs to fit.

[rubah]

FLWV is orchestration, which means you get vocals and strings!

[GhandiOwnsYou]

Fithos Lusec Wecos Vinosec is, as stated, not latin, and an anagram for Succesion of Witches and Love.

For those who doubt or have heard that is is also latin, standing for whatever, two points. The first is that there is no V sound in latin, though this debatable considering how anglecised the language became later. the second being, there is no letter W. The sound for W is designated by V, and the V as in Violet or Violin does not exist.

I highlighted the parts that make my point. People have stopped saying that fithos lusec wecos vinosec was Latin a long time ago. The part people fail to understand is that it was designed to sound like Latin to fit the remainder of the song which is also Latin. The fact that it is an anagram makes it impossible to omit letters that wouldn't be used in Latin when making it sound like Latin, but I still think they did well with what they have.
