Take a look at this Final Fantasy VIII Demo Trailer:

There’s this beautiful piece of music at the very end of the trailer just as Squall leaps to the boat and we see it sail off to the sea.
CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY IT?
So unless this is an OCRemix that I’m not familiar with, my best guess is that this is an early, abandoned variation of the prelude that was written for the FFVIII soundtrack. Since there is a different (non-vocal) variation that appears at the end of the "Ending Theme" on the FFVIII OST, it might be the case that Uematsu was playing around with ways of changing the "Prelude" and came up with several ideas, this one included, that he or the game developers weren’t satisfied with and cut from the final soundtrack.
In other words, I think the version we hear in this video may be the only available snippet of this piece of music. That’s my best guess.
Thanks anyway.
it was also used in an ffx trailer:

What do you know, it is in there! It’s titled "Visions of Dollet" in this set. Unfortunately only 128 kbps, but much nicer sound than the YouTube video. If I could find an ISO of the disc I’d rip it myself in better quality. But I don’t mean to seem ungrateful. Thanks for this pack. It has a few more things I hadn’t heard before in it too.
