Medley of Final Fantasy 6 (sort of)

[TheSoruu]

hahaha me da risa las caras que pusiste al final! me gusta como tocar e interpretas tus melodias :DD

[Ak1m0to]

Thumbs up if you still play FF6!

[markdevlin150]

Love this theme. Inside the whale theme i think it was, always gives me a light hearted kick near the end cuz i laugh with Ben when he screws up.

[Talikira]

GRATUITOUS TEARS.

ALL MY TEARS.

ALL OF THEM.

/SOBS

[skyhime]

Hey Ben!  Just curious. Do still have time to play games? If so, what re you into these days?

[NickMedobich]

you're a god!

[Rogun987]

Aw you stopped at Umaros theme. Only a few more left.

[vinzer72frie]

2:22 

[CrimsonFlower12]

Won't you eventually become deaf in one ear lol

[Kerrandrius]

The only bad thing is that you didn't end it with the Victory Fanfare.

[arrysexy]

หล่อมาก เทพสุด

[arrysexy]

หล่อมาก 

[SuperPandas]

Out of every Final Fantasy, my most favorite was definitely six. I'll never forget these tunes. I was completely floored at 2:45 the best boss theme of any game. I listen to it every day.

[mikescookingNmusic]

wow I need to get a violin now! Thank you for this!

[Kensumari]

the boss music sounded badass

[aakaido]

That's the Celes song. Took me a while to remember. Nice playing man.

[jeandannemann]

ei jack CHAN.. do you like xenogears? what about Grahf song or 'my village is the number one'

do not forget the best video game story of all time :D

[terrabranford6]

Wonderful! And yes, FF6 is the best final fantasy.

[getsuga97]

I wish there was more dynamic contrast, but otherwise, I loved it!

[raze1511]

Holy shit the decisive battle!!

[LoneIndividual]

III (US) I like more than VI (JAP/GPA)

[LoneIndividual]

& I laughed at all your reactions to your mistakes

[xXxFF4everxXx]

Lol, If I ever see u dare play final fantasy songs again, i'm gonna... cry, lol *gaymoment*

[Rogun987]

I remember memorizing this entire theme, only wishing I could play it somehow.

[lovemyeleven]

AWESOME! :D

[02RINvocaloid02]

YOUR TOTTALY AMASING!!!!!!

[elrustito]

This is amazing.

[macapity]

[ThegrijzeJager]

This is Beautifulllllll!!!!! But, Please can you make a Medley Of Final Fantasy XIII? That' s my favo :)

[analeganasophiamoon5]

Uhhhh, I think that's all I can think of! *shrugs and walks offscreen* You're the best xD

[TheCryptidman]

@KentQuazer I know it's the wrong Final Fantasy... I just love Cloud...... And Sepiroth..... >:D

[jheanjive]

Mr. Chan, if you have some time, please send me also this one, "medley, final fantasy".

[lospheris]

dude that's fucking amazing

[kelphyr]

BenChan, I really like how you play the battle part of the medley, it would be awesome if you re-did it, with only the battle medley, it sounds awesome!

[Akatsuki3434]

I just started FF6 thanks to some inspiration from my brother, and im really happy to see you do violin versions of the music from the game. I'm loving it thus far and am currently working on beating that damn phantom train in the woods, grr! Absolutely wonderful as usual and you look so happy playing it!

[TheCryptidman]

Long live Cloud!

[BobbyKuhn]

You, sir, are the man. Your love for the best final fantasy game ever tells me all I need to know about you and I respect both you and your talent. Excellent work

[Yanimeluvfan]

Yeah its a great game!! I love this piece the most, and second is Terras theme :) awesome job dude!!!!! makes me wanna play the game right now! hahaha

[jstb0b]

you kind of look like bruce lee from the side...and no i don't think all asians look alike. =)

[ithinkicanpassdisguy]

Locke's theme and Locke ftw!!!!!!

[bollak778]

wow man you're awesome...ty for sharing..i will subsbribe to that site...i will call you...wow...ty for make my cry with that sound...so long i didn't ...see you soooooon...byeeeeeeee..ps sorry for my english...i'm italian...bye

[dnsjl]

that is a-ma-zing!

[korgotth]

decisive battle my favorite out of all of em.

[LinkmastA28]

have u ever tried music from the game Crono Trigger? i bet the 600A.D theme would sound very nicely.

[vehiron1]

I cant decide which one is better, FF5 or FF6, but the ending for FF5 wad for me a bit weird =P so I guess FF6 was better xD

[Eithan89]

"The decisive battle" was absolutely awesome!!!

[xsslmp2x]

2:27

:D

[Diazm2]

I <3 you.

[Violinvillian]

Ben Chan i watched all your videos postet on YouTube and i want to say you are a great artist and a great person as well.

[markdevlin150]

Thank you. I was in tears over this melody. I love the violin.

On a lighter note...

I especially like the ending and the octopus bit, very funny. I can't imagine how hard it is to play that song inside the fish part.

[downsyndrome1000]

favorite viloinist by far becasue you are donw to earth normal =] plus you have videos on youtube. such dedication

[Tarliacatz]

Final Fantasy 6 was the first FF game I've ever played and completed. It was so worth it~! Terra's my favorite character, and Edgar ranks a close second. Sabin's cool too, but still. You're amazing, Ben! I love your videos!

[zangetsu602]

boss battle theme was AMAAZING

[pianomangabe]

omg wow thats amazing..

so impressed..

brings back so many memories :O

[WandererofLorac]

Hey... Ben, It´s just gorgeus!!! Congratulations!! I´ve enjoyed it (as we say in Spain) just like a child (a lot).

Thanks you very much

[Tetsuka123]

yes yes FF6 is my favorite one as well. everyone should play it if you like final fantasy games.

[megabob40]

Your videos are amazing! Love ff6 and love your playing. Your facial expressions make me smile =)

[ana3525]

dude! your awsome

[zav75]

FF7 was better aha, but you violin is awsome

[Demondestiny0x]

Grammar check.

[crazyanimeidiototaku]

One of the very best FF games of all times.You make me want to learn violin LOL

[medieval517]

Best game ever

[iamlaos]

you are awesome and this happens to be my favorite game of all time

[GPlay85]

3:57 Ben that was a funny expression when that part came out weeoo XD

[haganeno76]

I'm playing six right now. I've had the soundtrack forever and I finally bought the actual game ^-^ It's just after the opera scene, and I'm that lame faggot singing all the words along with the music ahahahha

[falconman12345]

Who could froget Kefka.....of course Sephiroth's better but......Nice music...

Amazing

[haganeno76]

Naw, sephiroth is a mommas boy! kefka is just crazy hahahahah jkjkjkjjkjkjkjjk

[Tetsuka123]

Sephiroth was just emo crazy. Kefka was just bug nuts evil crazy. much better he was.

[RedQueeney]

Poor Kefka, they made him that way. It was the magitek experimets which broke his brain and turned him into a psychopath. He had lost the ability to feel or understand love and what he could not comprehend he deemed stupid and sought to destroy it all. I feel more sympathy for Kefka than Sephiroth, who really is the emo kid who finds out he's adopted and pitches a fit. Mad love for this vid btw!

[SmaddyDiva]

Awesome. Thank you for sharing this!

Anyone who hasn't played FF6 really should. :)

[pimenex]

Barrilete cosmico!!

de que planeta viniste!!

[Peachiko]

Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with FF6, but the melody, is just so soothing, it's beautiful~

[Homosexualities]

Then I recommend you check out the whole FF6 soundtrack.

It's unforgettable. ;)

[CrimsonBackStaber]

FF6 FTW

[higuyimfried]

is FFVI the game with kefka, ?

[swiftDKB]

Yeah

[seanSHRED87]

This sounds amazing to me!

I really like your vibrato technique, its so fluid and natural,

AWESOME!

[plasmathunderdx]

What I remember the most about FF6 is the music. I don't really member that much music from newer games...

[aboghetto]

Hey Ben, congrats for you and Sarah. I have the same camera (canon IS 1100) but you sure get better audio than my camera here -- do you have it on a special setting of any kind? My reply video was a trick actually, I recorded video and audio separately to try and make it sound better... any special setting you're using? or are you using a mic?

[MurlocShaman14]

I thought that Celes' Theme/Aria di Mezzo turned out pretty well, and The Decisive Battle from VI is my favorite boss theme of the whole Final Fantasy, and I started laughing when Locke's theme started up because I was NOT expecting it.

Great playing!

[kenkune55]

Agreed, it has to be my favorite. I got to say though I really love it when its played on an instrument or done into a remix

[dancinggey]

it sems he is going too cry every sec of the vid

[kenkune55]

Hmmm he seems pretty happy looking to me at about 2:40ish

[yangel02]

very nice!

sounds really wonderful!

[KillaTequilla83]

loved Terra's theme, and the fighting themes where awesome

[zymeran]

amazing ^_^

[ARNOLDESTEVEZTORRES]

oye erez grande me has hecho sentir algo muy hermozo algo una satisfaccion de alegria

grasias por tocar

thank you for the music

[Abraham609]

bien dicho

[Ugnokk]

FF VI VII VIII are my fav games lol love your vids keep em' coming

[poltergeistx]

FF6 is my fav too! :D I think it has the best soundtrack of all FF's and... even of any RPG out there.

[TheKrackdaw]

An astonishing game with real good music and you do a really good job playing 'em. :)

[PkmMovies]

i think you should play Your not alon (FF9)

[FFVImaster]

You should play The Fierce Battle - it's possibly my favorite boss music of any FF game

[Devilishmary27]

I'm loving the video game music!! and no i've never played FF6 unfortunatly :( but i do love Final Fantasy and have played lots of them.

that was sooooo good!!!

[Cherdafred]

FFVI is also my first and favorite FF game. xP

[tforal]

wooow.. beautifully played..

And that Opera part of Celest sounds awesome!

And the battle theme right after sounds even better!

[chidori8291]

just wondering, is it a bad habit to put the 1st part of ur thumb on the bottom of the neck?

[whoryhobopowers]

I absolutely LOVE it when you get to the battle theme.

I loved FF6.

Shame I lost the game and didn't finish it.

D:

One of the most interesting ones of all time.

[KillaTequilla83]

Haha, agreed! The battle themes were bomb, I too lost my FF6 before completion ;_;

[tukkek]

Any chance of you having a sheet written with this songs? They sound so beautiful it makes me want to dust off my violin = )

Yeah I know. I should just download some MIDI. But at least I'm a concious lame dude, if it's worth something.

[SeanUNT]

FF6 (3) is my favorite FF too! Sounds great man! Everyone usually says 7, but I just think 6 was next to a perfect game, and the music has always stuck with me through the years. So much so that I arranged two pieces from it for my wedding even, haha. Keep it up!

[Thingies4]

awesome on 2:28 I need fast fingers

[GarnetDFF]

Very nice! but please , play music of Final Fantasy IX

[Alienidiot101]

Love this video, love the way you play, and I've been listening for, what, 30 min? The fact that it's only the violin and nothing else keeps my brain from frying while I do homework :)

[kingkilo]

no way mate, played most ff's includin 6, but 10 was jus the one. newer ones r in more depth n detail but 10 was jus the one, or maybe 7. Brilliant playin btw spot on.

[higuyimfried]

Ben just wondering what were you're afvorite FFVI & FF IV characters?

i also just found the original FFI & II for GBA the one where if you eat the monsters meat ur characters transform:D

[BenChanViolin]

My favorite character from FFVI is Locke, whom I always named Ben when playing through :) Kain was my favorite from IV - he also got the name Ben, even when he went evil/got mind-controlled.

And yep, EAT THE MEAT! is what I remember from FF legend 2, an original Gameboy non-color game.

[ithinkicanpassdisguy]

@BenChanViolin Locke,s my favorite too lol I'm currently playing through the game for the first time and so far its my favorite I hate Kefka's laugh though its like nails on a chalkboard >.<

[ElDoucho]

@BenChanViolin Locke is definitely a cool guy but Sabin is a total badass.

[aboghetto]

Ben, it was you who inspired me to make my ocarina response video. Thanks for this! I play violin too but my skills cannot compare!

[Sarkon88]

Givin' me chills with your battle themes!

Excellent as always, Ben.

-Sarkon

[Abraham609]

BEN!!! You leave m inspired to practice my violin 10 times harder everytime i here your videos!! I absolutely love FF6 its a beautiful game. I love Celes theme the best you did great on that one. LOve your music and keep it up. My teacher has played as long as you and has been to carnegie hall twice ima tell i want to learn Final fantasy songs too!! Great work

[anatin7]

you must be tired ur vibrato and tone is a bit off from regular

[tullehesten1]

[blablamannn]

Rachel's theme 0:05, Celes's theme 1:22, battle theme 2:23, decisive battle 2:45, locke's theme 3:30,and gogo's theme 3:53...yup ff6 ...still a nice game...

[tadaivie]

[rikumoon]

[jordangrundy]

Very moving. Thank you.

[xAngelCaidox]

You're so.... argh,

The best on youtube, that's all.

[omnihearth]

your very talented and im just gonna ask if final fantasy 8 (Force your way) can be played by a violin?

[redhulk09]

You just made me remember how much I love this game. Time to break out the ps2 and play! You're very talented.

[toematoes91]

GREAT JOB

[They2dead]

[yunakairi26]

More FFIX Please

[herrlogi]

great one

[devouroringone]

ff6 is my favorite too ^^... some songs sounded a bit off but still a great performance... is there a possibility that you'll try playing the final boss battle song "dancing mad"?

[sinsin82]

Love Love Final Fantasy!!

Absolutely beautiful :)

Thanks for the upload!

[TheDigitalMonk]

$140 for that camera?! I'm going to have to get one and start my own music channel. Maybe we could do some collab work sometime (I play percussion, and I own a marimba and drumset). What program do you use to edit your videos?

[OmnipotentO]

my fav ff too :D

either that or FFT.

[KillingSquirrels]

i think is the best game of FF <3

[IICakeDanceII]

I love this game!!! I've played it so many times, i may as well recite the plot here and now, but i won't because i'm nice XD

Terra's theme is the best. I love her's and Celes' theme the most.

But you can't forget Kefka's laugh. /heh

[whoryhobopowers]

OMG.

I loved playing the remake of FF6 on my SP.

Then my brother took it away from me.

It was so much fun.

; ;

[MeiAi837]

Love it!<3

[TamaWulf]

I loves Final Fantasy! =D

And your violin sounds really beautiful on the new camera.

Not that it didn't sound wonderful before.

[purewolfgod1]

cant wait till FFVersus13. i think it will be better then just FF13 and it has cool music too that i think will sound good on violin.

sweet playing. im hoping i will get one within a year.

[AmateurViolinist]

I really felt something. That's good music you're playing.

[Xxdragonkisser25xX]

I luv it cause ur always having fun and it sounds amazing!

[Milky111wtf]

This is also my all-time favorite final fantasy game... this rocks!

[SharelleFrancis]

Awesome! =)

[yunakairi26]

More FFIX, please :)

[alikat1004]

crap i meant either...i love FF7..who agrees with me lol?

[BrandonTeFilipinoGuy]

Me! But FFX Music kicks butt

[candace202]

great job ben!

keep it up!

:]

[6171222]

这是洛克和他爱人的音乐。。。 到处寻觅不死鸟的药。。。。

[VaeryChan]

kawaii ben chan.. ^^

nice.. i wish you play Suteki Da Ne or Zanarukando Nite- FFX, in violin or maybe piano.. it will be great..

GBU~ ^^

[SeTSwiPe]

forever rachel and locke's theme? I assume you're a locke fan?

And why not play terra's theme? It's the world map and probably the most easily recognizable asside from celes's opera part.

[BenChanViolin]

Yeah... sorry about that, a gross oversight on my part. I sort of hadn't thought any of this video through before grabbing my violin and hitting record on the camera :) Hence all the mistakes later on- it's been a while since I've attempted some of these themes on the violin.

[vijay741]

Awesome job, Ben! I would love to hear a zelda medley :)

[Daikaris]

Konnichiwa Ben-Chan ^w^!!

Me gusta mucho la manera que tienes de tocar el violin, y de poder sentir las emociones a travez de este.

[SeTSwiPe]

understandable mistake considering his channel is benCHAN. a cutesey japanese familiarity title

[alikat1004]

actually it would wither be chinese or korean...never heard a japanese name CHAN

[SeTSwiPe]

no, not as a last name. -chan is a suffix. IE -san is 'mister/miss'. -kun is for friends. -sama is 'sir/lord/lady' and '-chan' is for kids and girls and cute girls.

[Mah150491]

you are always great ^^

have you ever played Sad Romance from FF X ?

[delgadomalo]

its not sad romance noob isint from final fantasy, its and xhail something else(girl singer)

[Cxtrife]

dude...simply awesome!

[Cruzinaround9]

Nice quality on your camera :)

Haven't played VI, but I'm hoping to sometime.... very nicely done

[mistics23]

0:00 : Forever Rachel

1:30 : Aria Di Mezzo Carattere

2:23 : Battle Theme

3:29 : Locke's Theme

I am happy, Ben, that you made that video ! I'm really glad to see that some people as talented as you keep sharing their skill around here !

Tu m'inspires à continuer de mon côté, et me donnes une bonne idée de toutes les possibilités de l'instrument..!

Thank you this time again !

[yunakairi26]

More FFIX please :D.

[D0ug16]

VI*

IX = 9

[StarofAzrael]

That was beautiful, good job

[Kynitt]

Should have broken into the Zozo theme and wandered away

[Ultimaniac7]

Alright! Moar video game music! F@%K YEAH, Decisive Battle FTW

[kevdai1692]

this question might seem out of the blue... but do you have a brother named Aaron?

[nymidnight007]

this was awsome.

marry me!

[TW93AW]

GO FFIX!!!! WHOOO

Can't to get good enough on the violin then i will try some of my favourite instrumentals on violin

[noix666dezephir]

Hi ben ! It is wonderful and could you try to play the music of kingdom hearts or final fantasy 7!

[dragonboyjohnny]

I LOVE THE FF^ BOSS THEME :D

[xiaonoobiexd]

no background music....

[TeTRoSeX]

Congratulations about the camera! And great video!
