Those who fight - Final Fantasy VII Piano Collections

[TeamOdysee]

makes it more epic for me since i have a wooden sword right next to me and im tempted to kill sephiroth with it now.

but hes way to badass for me.

[HeyLookItsFranco]

best performance I've seen of this yet on youtube, amazing job man. You wouldn't happen to know who performed this piece for the official version/movie would you? I didn't even realize there were errors. I guess if you get a nice enough piano, errors can turn into 'dissonant nuances' or somesuch lol



[RobinLSL]

@HeyLookItsFranco the guy is called Seiji Honda. Thanks for the comment!

[Frogorchestra01]

One of the few versions that actually has a good sense for the way the tempo should be played on the different themes going throught this piece. Well played :D

[calvers7]

Press 5.

[KHfanx]

FUCK ME I THINK I JUST JIZZED.

[FuegoRedXIII]

you, sir, you are the fucking boss

[ramfuel21]

you are amazing,love this piano version of the song,gives me shivers all over the spine great job man :)

[mctranka]

awesome



[Xghgjkl]

I'm really starting to regret quitting piano lessons, I have the music sheets for the song but I just haven't played in so long. XD You sir, are amazing.

[lolturtle13]

Win. 

[sound0chris]

Great job!

I'm working on this piece myself and I'm having trouble getting the dynamics quiet enough while im playing fast. Any suggestions?

Also, how long have you played for? youre fantastic

[shini012]

Wonderful!!! Very well played and i hope you can produce more of the magic :)

[faramori]

Two words: fawkin awesome !!!!!!

[Wartoz]

I love the part beginning at 1:53

I jizz everytime

[MrModjo72]

u r amazing!

[TechnologiclyTechno]

2:22

wwwooooooooaaaaaaaahhhhhhh

[WaxBoy59]

How could anyone dislike this video? I imagine that whoever doesn't like this just couldn't play the song themselves.

[Fkreisler]

FUK THOSE SKILLS are sick, ive been playing this song for almost a year now and still cant play it like u do, VERY IMPRESIVEE :)!!!!!!!

[minney019]

omg!!!

The best one among the many - into three play video. What music college student?



[cooltubez]

[JUSTNOISEontheWIRES]

@cooltubez thats a fantastic input!!

[arcbine333]

You can't DISLIKE this...

damn,...

SO GOOD!

[inveighn]

Wow....

[123Emtai1234]

Flawless epic nice job :)

[marcandreblanchette]

Not only made for Asians, it seems :P

[Xenogabbo]

Watching this again for about the 20th or so time. its some of my favorite FF music, but you seem to play it the best! i love it

[chuchimiki]

D: sucked....JUST KIDDING!!! IT WAS THE BEST XD

[Dragonlover132]

where did you get this song from? Did you memorize it from sheet music or play by ear?

[RobinLSL]

@Dragonlover132 bought the sheet music

[Dragonlover132]

@RobinLSL where did you get it from? I'm trying to find a place to find it

[RobinLSL]

@Dragonlover132 well there'es a few video game music stores online, you could for example try squaresound (dot com). It'rs probably not going to be cheap though!

[GameMusicCompilation]

very good

[DiscipleHades]

L'une si ce n'est la meilleure version que j'ai entendu, tu le joue magnifiquement bien.C 'est en grande partie grâce à ta version que je me suis mis à apprendre le morceau! Merci à toi mec ;)

[YoungBloodX]

The french, man, the french! he goes crazy, man! :)

[Lindemann86]

Jeewiz, tu me turbo torche.

[pixelsage]

Good stuff Robin =]. Glad to see I'm not the only one who likes this piece fast!

[tazp123]

Awesome video! Really perfect. Any tips for someone switching over from keyboard to piano. What exercises are best for learning separated left and right hand melodies?

[ash0787]

much better then most of the other players ive seen that are trying this song

[hanghaw]

Part 1:50 like some RPG game 's BGM...

[AnimeAddix]

OMG THE END WAS FRIGGEN EPIC

LOVE YOU DUDE

[fredjamejames]

Shock and Awe

[jongsong86]

Im just learning french..

[TheVnom]

Favorite part: 0:00 to 3:51,

badass.

[RobinLSL]

@TheVnom xD

[Gargantuari]

omg dude you just pwned everyone who have ever played this theme O_o I think I got eargasm!

[FreeTheFate]

Out of every performance of this song on youtube I find yours the best. Very, very great control even with the height in tempo. And you're definately right about the excitement level. Practically keeps you on the edge of your seat.

Isn't it hard to memorize every note?

[tamtammort]

ha bha mince alors je me suis fais chié à parler anglais x)

[tamtammort]

My english is very bad, I'm french, but I wanted to tell that's the best interpretation I've never heard, for this song, you've wrote you were exciting if I understood well, but that's good, because you don't play the music, you are in the music, and when I've seen how you play this song it was ... magic ! My favorite part: 0:00 to 3:51. Sorry for my bad english...

[RobinLSL]

@tamtammort merci! Le français ça va aussi :p

[kaoruOOOanime]

were can i find the sheets music

[lukoutube]

I wish I could play this song but I dont have a piano :(

great job! :D

[Dablank]

Wow amazing, best interpretation ! that's so clear and dramatic! 5 stars

[FieryYoshi]

Bravo! I think this one of the best Those Who Fight piano videos! 5 out of 5 xD

[geysergaeshi]

Honestly the only interpretation of the song that I enjoy. Other pianists stress the wrong parts and aside from being too slow the tempo gets messy and inconsistent. This is exactly how I would have played it. You are truly gifted.

[RobinLSL]

@geysergaeshi Thank you!

[ThaSoap]

I gotta agree with the others. I have seen a lot of these "Those who fight" videos the last couple of years, and this is by far the best performance. Exactly the right speed. Great job.. Best performance on youtube..

[AllKillA]

Best version on youtube EVER! Thumbs up if you agree.

[AllKillA]

Best version played on the piano EVER! Thumbs up if you agree.

[Toodles507]

Just to say. I've seen quite a bit videos of people trying to play this song, and yours is by far the best. Props to you man. KICK ASS!!!! :D

[n90302]

pretty good!!!

[mingere11]

How much time you needed to play this so good?

I just learning it, bat is so hard!

[stheive]

remarquable! , quel maitrise! ( aussi bien voir plus que kylelandry )

[arloj]

Advent Children makes this so much more relevant. Amazing playing! Jealousy+

[Arsenic3333]

amazing interpretation !

[darknovablast]

Are you Neville Longbottom? o.o

GREAT playing, though! XD

[noob672]

ive finally found a flawless version of this song on piano haha awesome playing

[ANOTHERSICKMETALHEAD]

FUKK YEAH! VERY NICELY DONE!!

[xXkonohanumberoneXx]

im in love with you...

[Gottesanbeterin22]

Holy s***, at the end your finger are so fast O_O

Incredible...

Great job! The best "Thos who fight", which I've ever heard! :)

[Toodles507]

thats what she said ^_^

[Jackpotur]

have you heard w3sp's?

[idrawbetterthanyouXD]

i like this version because the piano playing is very clean, like i dont think he uses the pedals which makes it sound better

[stinkypillow11]

yeah its clean but i think he IS using the pedals

[RobinLSL]

Yeah I definitely use the pedals. Not that much but you don't want to make this sound TOO dry.

[ZNicky]

holy .... OK you play this great! but your version is faster than the original by mr. Uematsu. It is great to see your energy while playing piano! I couldn't stop watching.

[TwilyXD]

I think he's actually spot on here. This is the version that was done for Advent Children and it sounds almost perfect. One of the best ones I've seen on Youtube.

[ZNicky]

Yes I have to agree with you on that one, it is really one of the best I've seen here and it is indeed almost perfect. Than it's just me being too critical.

[Jackpotur]

Uematsu doesn't plays this piece, is played by a japanese performer whose last name is Honda...

[kongthao1]

@Jackpotur Uematsu composed this piece, so im pretty sure he can play it as well.

[RobinLSL]

Actually, probably not. First off, Uematsu composed the version which plays in the game, not this arrangement. Second, he has pretty much no training in classical music.

Nothing against the guy (still an amazing creator), but he most likely can't perform advanced stuff like this.

[IanSumallo]

@RobinLSL He is capable of playing piano... I have proof. Haven't you seen him playing with the Black Mages in a concert? He even had a piano solo in one part of the One Winged Angel.

[RobinLSL]

@IanSumallo yeah but it's not _classical_ piano. The complexity of playing this outsrips any keyobard solo you might hear in the Black Mages by far.

[Jackpotur]

@kongthao1

yeah but I said that the original version played in THE MOVIE IS NOT PLAYED BY UEMATSU!!!!!

[bbhelen3162]

It is exciting ... I really love it.. .

too bad I can't play that level of piece..

I totally fell in love with it(piano piece) ^^

[DominicanBoi]

its exciting to hear this, its inspiring to watch

[zedog546]

thats so awesome :D

[ShadowSix77777]

You just broke the awesome meter and blew our minds.....

You're an amazing piano player, good job!!! =)

[iceteria]

You know you get those times when a little bit of sex wee falls out when it's not supposed to. Yeah. That just happened.

[darrenvile]

Wow, your playing was superb. It's too bad you don't have proper audio recording equipment, cause you can tell how much energy you're giving but the sound isn't coming through with what I'm guessing is the speaker on the camera. Otherwise really good playing! :)

[Xenogabbo]

Awesome job! This is my favorite battle music from the final fantasy series. Keep it up :)

[Aboutzen]

at first fast : D nice but at last very fast :O that cause you have a red face at last so tries nice guyyyyyyyyyyyy

U like a god

[MikeJLew]

possibly THE strangest comment I have seen on the internet! congratulations haha! I think you were trying to say, let me translate it for you "it was fast at first (which is how it's supposed to be), and then the speed progressed at the end. (the red face part is strange, the best translator could not even decipher that, did you do it for the lulz) The rest you said is decipherable

[AndyKrull]

this is crazy good.

[Bunnymajs]

my god.. so fucking awsome D:

[emandkat]

I LOVE YOU

[RobinLSL]

marry me then

[cavedweller2000]

Haha, good answer!

I love this, I also love the ragtime from FF8! Keep it up mate!

[amaliat21]

WOW! i'm in the middle of learning this song right now to play at my next recital. i've got most of the notes and rhythms down, but not the overall flow. Your video has been a great inspiration for me! =) I think you're an amazing pianist.

[Rofzz]

Holy.... You must shave with a meat cleaver to be this awesome!

[shgfe3ay]

more sustain and it wud be perfect

[navy110]

the best rendition of this piece on youtube!!!

[s0791306]

simply outstanding

[MrMendel12]

O_oll what a pro.

[subszero]

Marveluzo!!

[kekelleyusc]

:50-1:05 brought the rain . absolutely love it

[helldogas2]

Epic!!! There is nothing more to add.

[KHlove96]

MAN that was fast!!!

[Exoow]

Perfect. Well done, good sir.

[arloj]

Envy. Awesome work dude.

[rahkeemball]

by far the best FF song EVER

[wo0ter]

it's incredible that you have the entire piece memorized...AND that you're playing it at such a fast tempo. BRAVO!

[KHlove96]

dude this guy rocks!!!!! 1:50 my favorite part.

[Atanimx]

WOW I'm really really REALLY impressed!!! It is tough to keep up the tempo and maintain. Thousand thumbs UP!

[kimbled0n]

Much better when its played fast like this

[KHlove96]

i liked it alot!

[myrtilus]

I'm practicing this right now, I've always feared this piece and left this at the tip of my mind when I think of which song to learn and just yesterday I've gathered up some courage to hold the piece and actually tried it and wow not that hard as I thought lol

anyway overall great playing!

[JaylaKanna]

SHIT SON!

[peterkray]

Dude, pls don`t tell me you re not a pro, you ll make me quit. :)

[CELLERTOTEN]

now that was good :)

[crystaltee93]

It's very good. Much equivalent to the soundtrack. Good job man!

[navy110]

c'est sublime j'en reviens pas!! c'est la énième fois que je la regarde et toujours émerveillée et gravement émue!!

[hoho428]

Added to my fav :)

awesome!

[highestcount]

*Casts Firaga.

[4dfreestyle]

man that is so freaking awesome

[fetterman6506]

VERY GOOD! I remember the days of long fights to this song. bravo.

[AmeMew]

Your favorite part is my favorite part as well! I used to be able to play up to the last page, but my tiny hands just couldn't cut it. I want to pick it up, I had 7 pages out of the 9 memorized before I had to school and didn't have a piano to touch for 7 months :<

[Jackpotur]

Best rendition Ive heard^seen in utube, congrats, I hope mine goes better, but your piano is way better

[findlay27]

I've never played any Final fantasy game before... well I've played some of FF IX. I remember that because of Vivi. Awesome character he was.

Anyway this is just amazing! I can play To Zanarkand, but this is just crazy. I never knew that Final Fantasy had such great music! 5 stars and subbed. Purely because this video is amazing! I lite how you quite nearly exploded into the song at the start =D

[Kisarez]

You did an amazing job there.. favourited, best version on Youtube! Most of the versions with the most views, are pretty crappy ..

[slipslooosh]

Can anyone tell me if this is hard to learn for a person who has never touched a piano before but plays guitar?

i loved it

[RobinLSL]

Sorry to disappoint, but yeah, it's HARD. This piece is at an "advanced" level and you won't be able to play it properly at all before you've played a lot of piano. But there are loads of other easier FF pieces!

[Jackpotur]

is not that ADVANCED... though

[10000naruto]

fuckin awsome

[Mysticeyezz]

awesome job :O

compared to w3sp's video your just about as good :D

[happybirthdayamelia]

Disgusting -- disgusting.... disgusting............... fucking..... incredibly disgusting...

[hd217703]

... Dude you are a god at this. I've been trying out different renditions of it..

If you use sheet music coudl you toss me a link to it? Would love to try and play this piece :)

[bothamliam]

The sheet music is actually the title of the song :p

Final Fantasy 7 Piano Collections

This song is from that book.

[Georginito]

How long have u been practicing this piece? As I already said your rendition is really great!

[cRuTheNoob]

One word: prodigy

[sasukexsakura99]

best ive heard. I cant even get the song. Still practicing :(

[leodon245]

whoaa...really nice.

like the tempo

and well played :]

[Attacus3]

Wow, I've seen this song played some many times, and you really have it nailed. Best rendition on youtube I have heard. This type of thing makes me wish I chose the piano instead of the guitar years ago... :P

[Dagamax]

haha same XD

[Ipownoobz]

excellent.

[SUA2456]

awesome!!!!!!!!!!!

[1bugleboi1]

best version i have ever heard...

[nukka4suckas]

i agree, fast and accurate

[inventiveinsanity]

best video of this i've seen YET.

Keep up the brilliant playing.

[onchomzz]

awesome

[micaony]

wow o.o that was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! o.o

[calvers7]

shit it does actually

[chrisXDfull]

what acctually does i cant remeber what i commented on lol cos user removed comment lol

[calvers7]

lol i cant remember either!

ohhh wait

you said it sounded like the recording had been sped up!

[chrisXDfull]

i dont remeber saying that but idk i guess i cant remeber lol

[chrisXDfull]

wow nice its like the proper tempo to XD great

[Stockley29]

this is one of my all time favourite piano pieces of not my very favourite ... and you just rock it pal ! haha

where do you ever track down the music for these ?

[RobinLSL]

Well, at the time this came out, I used to go to video game music sites and forums quite a lot so I didn't even really need to search for the sheet music! Bought it from most likely gamemusic(dot)com...

[rachiiiNESS]

this is frigggin iinnsaannneeee.

awsome job.

i cant imagin how hard it would be to learn & play that o.o

JEALOUS MUCH xDD

[imminentdifference]

Fantastic job! I'm working on this right now, which gives me that much more respect for you! :3 The runs on this piece are killer and the tempo just makes one want to shoot oneself. Yours was definitely the best i've seen so far!

Tiny little comment though....you speed up a little at the end. Otherwise basically perfect!

[RobinLSL]

Thanks for the comments! I speed up at the end mostly because I want to, to make it sound more tense the closer we get to the last note...

[imminentdifference]

Oh OK, I thought it was unitentional XD....'cuse I know if I get into intense pieces like that I'll tend to speed a little at the end:3

Again, fantabulous job! Thanks for posting!

[calvers7]

it is fantastically played. Roughly how long would you say it took before you could play it at the correct speed?

[71grande]

223 does look kind sketchy. Jut watch his arm and hand

[RobinLSL]

You've never seen anyone play fast arpeggios?

[MetroidMilkMan]

THAT WAS MANLY.

[keikuka]

Great version man!

(But I think you played the piano slow and played the video just as fast that it has the right speed)

Greets

[C0ffee29]

lol no... if the vid was sped up, his body movements would look more stupid and quick

[keikuka]

Yea, to 'speed up' the vid. That's the phrase I wanted to use. Thanks.

And I think his movements are unnatural, much to snatchy. The motions of the shirt and his hair are much to quick.

Greets

[binababy113]

I LOVE your version! you are an excellent pianist! Yay! :)

[Aniwazoa]

Excellent...

[xXcloudresXx]

WOW! this is great man i love it!

[movieDirectorjoel]

thank you

[aznperegrine]

very well done, and at 2:16 you kinda jumped out of the seat

I'm currently working on this song, wish I could play as well as you :(

[adrastus27]

I love you.

I mean .. i love this.

[zwunduke]

DEFINATELY the best version ive heard. love it man!

[sappatt69]

nicely done, uematsu couldnt play it better himself

oh btw one more thing yours is probably the best version on youtube that i've seen!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3
