  • i play this at school and people are like wdf??

  • you must keep the beat at 0:55, 1:11, 1:55, 2.32, but otherwise, this is magnificent.

  • @khami231234 Sorry to kill your statement ;) But THIS song is from Hamauzo :) Though I do absolutely agree with you :)

  • is there no piano version of the actual in game version!? or does everyone on youtube play the "piano collections" version??

  • SHEET MUSIC!!!!!!!

  • @khami231234 Hopefully...

  • Your left hand needs to play more staccato at :21. Also, look at the dynamics in the sheet music. With those small adjustments, this will be extraordinary.

  • this is not the song like ingame -.-

  • @DaCrackar it the version from "the piano collections" i want to hear a piano version of the original version too

  • @bobbycorwen Yeah you're right, i like the music ingame much more than this, this is also ok, but not best ^^

  • Congratulations! This video has been included on the Greatest Video Game Music Performances on YouTube playlist!

  • @khami231234 agreed

  • @khami231234 Okay, but Uematsu neither wrote the original piece or made this arrangement....

  • @khami231234 He is a great composer. Im sure he will someday. But as classical it will be called a classic, maybe

  • would you happen to know byanca and Cielce?

  • what key is this played in

  • TUTORIAL PLZ ='(

  • By the way your play this peice i can tell that you've enjoyed it. Am i wrong?

  • Oooh, good stuff! I hope I can play like that one day! It must feel great when you can play such a lovely piece of music all the way through.

  • @khami231234

    But this isn't written by Uematsu (on piano).

  • this isnt besaid island song.

  • @PapaKain89 It is!!

  • Nobuo didnt write that, it was originally written and arranged by masashi hamauzu,

  • Nobue uematsu didnt write this, the original from the game and the arrangement were both by masashi hamauzu,

  • @khami231234 HE BETTER BE i've been saying it for years, perhaps we are biased because we associate the music with scenes from the game, with characters that have added depth to our own existence. But his music is phenomenal and undeniable. To me he's the greatest of all time.

  • awsomness

  • Amazing!

  • Good job!!! 5*

  • That's exactly what I was thinking, all the vids I click on are this version. I want the real version!!

  • The piano collections version is different from the OST version. I'd say the main difference is the inclusion of a swing beat (that's what I call it anyway)- where a standard pair of eighth notes is equal to a dotted eighth note+ a sixteenth note. (I am now trying to sound intelligent) The OST version was just in straight 4/4 time.

  • why does everyone here on youtube play it differrent from 2:20 to 2:22, the notes are different, its not moving that part an octave from its orginal form!

  • Nt that smooth at the last part, bt overall ok..

  • @goodboymng overall ok? youve got to be blind/deaf.

  • ive been looking for sheet music for this song but i cant find it anywhere! can anyone help?

  • look harder, dl a torrent called, ffx collections. I got the collections from .. too many of the fantasy games its just a folder on my desktop. It has like FF7 and FFx collections. so its sick

  • Uuh, not exactly helpful : <

    You could find a torrent with Final Fantasy Piano collections sheet music scans, but Google is probably faster. Try final fantasy x piano collections sheet music.

    Actually, I just did that, and got: mediafire [dot] com/?0btyjmn00ym

    Besaid Island is the third track.

  • how is it the same to the max?

  • Well done. Well played.

    ....any chance for a tutorial?

  • omg wow its crazy!

  • Ya know.... the piano collection, to me sounds nothing like the real song. Even though this is still VERY good. <------ Ephasis on "Very".

  • well done,

  • sarcasam?? T_T

  • u kidding>? shes good

  • Huh??? shes wonderful. Just the piano collection of besaid island, does not sound like the one from the game.

  • I'm not one to talk because I'm not a pianist and I realize this song is crazy-hard, but you could make the chords in the left hand at the beginning of the piece more staccato. That's how I heard it on the studio version of the Piano Collection CD. I know it's hard doing it while doing the very quick phrases in your right hand, but it makes the piece sounds so much lighter instead of heavy and stiff.

  • well the staccato isnt wirtten in so that is the pianists choice. Perhaps this person likes the beginning a little heavier :)

  • There's lots of pedal in the beginning part that InvertedRainbows is talking about. The sheets don't say anything about detached or staccato, so it's up to the performer. Yes, the version by Aki Kuroda is detached, and I actually think it gives it a quaint feel. Oh well.

  • It must feel so good being able to play the piano that way...I really hope i can atleast play well in one year haha =] btw great job

  • I will try to learn this song. I think it's one of the best songs ever from Final Fantasy.

    Great work! You're quite inspiring!

  • Amazing!!

  • that's fucking awesome!

  • no matter which one its still so beautiful and touching..... i cant believe i typed that this is so pretty though.....

  • 0:55 - 1:12

  • i tear up on that part hehehehe

  • Well,normally it takes how long to master the song?

  • i dunno but it should take long... very complex song :S

  • Iam sure, once you start learning it, it will be alot easier, because it repeats alot of notes,

  • Yep, it's the same song

  • OMFG ur awesome!

  • Shows that when you practice enough, you can make true works of art.

    nice playing and nice vid

  • Don't get me wrong with this comment, I thought that this was an awesome and well played song, good job, but I'm having a hard time comparing this version with this one:

    watch?v=j2UjfueRo7g&feature=re­lated

    Like I said though, good job, I liked it :)

  • the version he is playing is from the FFX piano collections. Not from the FFX OST. thats why it sounds a little different. Great recording calbee219

  • he didn't make this, its a piano version arranged by nobuo uematsu himself

  • As indiepo stated, this is by Uematsu.

    The most clear time I can hear the original coming through is at 0:56 .

  • fabulastic!

  • Oh man, i've never played the game, but this song is just awesome... 5/5

  • thats so awsome how long have u been playing the piano?

  • Thanks for uploading, this is awsome

  • Sounds great!! I love it!

    But I think perhaps there was a problem between 0:21 and 0:37

  • Wow ! I love this song ! You play piano since how long ? (sorry for my bad english i'm french T.T.....)... Well, Bravo ! ^^

  • pretty good. just lay off the pedal a bit xD

  • why did people give me thumbs down, i dont think its from ffx, i think its ffx2

  • for a long time i did too but theres a similarity between the besaid music in FFX with the part 0:55-1:13. It might take awhile to notice but its there

  • I can kinda hear it

  • It is FFX and not FFX2.

  • Very nice played. Sounds just like the original! ;-)

  • sounded amazing dude. good job

  • is this from the album?, if it is, i would like to get it.

  • its from the ffx piano collections album.

  • my god you SO PRO!!! i love this song.. its so ahard to play :/

    how long did it take u to finish this song?

  • lol dont remember

  • Comment removed

  • wow dude, you're freakin' amazing. i wish i could play like that

  • It is from FFX.

    Great playing. The only problem I have is that some mistakes were carried on and made obvious because of the pedal. Otherwise, it was awesome.

  • yes, the besaid island I know sounds different... on the right is a video where you can hear the original song...

    Anyway, this song still sounds really good!

  • I thought so too.....

  • i dont think you get any better than this....

    this vid is my inspiration to playing piano

  • Wow... That sounded beautiful~

    Very nice job! ^^

    Just wondering, but I was looking for the sheet music for this, so I checked your profile, followed the link, but then I didn't get the right version, so would it be possible for you to send me the link to the sheet music?

    Sorry for any troubles... ^^;

  • My apologies, on the site there were 2 different versions of Besaid Island, and I chose the wrong one. But I've found the right one now!

  • very nice..very smooth..not like the other versions which are just fast and choppy.

  • how long have you been playing............

  • I have the sheets for EVERY SINGLE FINAL FANTASY SONG, so just contact me if you want any!

    cya

    p.s: very nice playing

  • beautiful

  • Dude that was awesome. You played it so smoothly. keep it up

  • I'm learnin this song now! The way you play it is so emotional it's crazy. Kudos!

  • Amazing !

  • very good

  • reallyyyy great !

  • yah really good, agree with oshadowdragon, i couldn't play this song a year ago and now i find it much easier, just had to get the hang of it, and i've been playing for about a year and a half now. I'm learning it right now, and this vid is a really good example. good job.

  • wow, great expression :)

  • and sooo..

    subription!!!

    lol

  • holy cow your good if you do any more ff let me kno k! :)

  • wow cool

  • That's amazing. =) I love this song because it's just so beautiful, and you just played it in a way that just blew "beautiful" right out the door. You played stupendously. Bravo!

  • OMFG it looks very hard to play, you're so great!

  • lol. well, it's honestly not that hard. you just hafta get the hang of it. however, playing it with expression, like calbee did, is much more difficult.

  • OMG! u juss were still for awhile and then outta no where your fingerz juss started moving light speed. that wuz incredible! i wuz like whoah wtf, kewl!

  • *gasp*

    I wish I had your talent and your piano!

    (Mainly your talent)

  • <3 You're amazing! When my Mum heard this she was really jealous of your abilities.

  • omg nice awsomeness

    i want to be ur friend!!!

    plz!!!

  • the ost recording of this is amazing..

  • This is awesome socks! I luff it.

  • got the music today! im beginning to learn it, yippy skippy.

  • i stare at your videos.. and i feel depressed that i will never be as good as you are..

  • I'm aspiring to play Besaid like this haha. I'm really bad at sight reading and just started playing this one today haha. XD but this sounds really awesome! nice

  • wow, thats really nice

  • MAGNIFICOO !!

    I LOVE THIS SONG AND FINAL FANTASY X!!

    Lol Tu Joue VraiMenT BieN Du PiaNo !! ;))

  • I just realized that this is Besaid Island, but it's the piano version in the Final Fantasy X Piano Collections. If anyone wants the sheet music, you can ask me. (Hope you don't mind calbee ^-^ )

  • This is really good, but I don't think this is Besaid Island. What is the name of this song? Loving the video!

  • The song your probably thinking of for Besaid Island in the game is Suteki Da Ne. I was really confused with this as well. Both really nice songs though.

  • This is the piano collections version of Besaid Island... it's true, it sounds different than the original soundtrack.

  • i love it ! i'm practicing this song too, but i'm still a noob.. your hands are fantastic =]

  • Very nice!

  • your piano playing is SEX

  • that is awesome!!!i wish i could play like that!! =D

  • This music is marvelous and you just played it so well... really deserve to be on my fav list!

  • =D !!!!!

  • Very good but try to add few a dynamics, might just be the mike but still if not dynamics! =D

  • Nice! You really made the song pop :]

  • the way that you play amazed me its almost like you play with no problem! this is like way way better than sodaorat because this one is longer and its played more gracefully ^.^

    really brings back memories

  • Sodaorat's is not bad.

    His is more fluent, while this one has some mistakes.

    Check out Calbee's second recording of Besaid. It's a bit better

  • I tought sodaorat was a girl

  • excellent!!

  • magic hands!!!

  • You've talent

    and i'm learning the same^^

    great job

  • I dont doubt you aqre playing the music exactly at the end but it sounds strange right at the end after all those fast ascending arpeggios

  • man you are da bomb.....

    it sounds like the real thing...

    wait it is the real thing..:D

  • Lol you play as good as Sodaorat.

  • no....he plays better!!

  • Yeah!

    I decided that after I heard him play One Wing Angel!

  • simply amazing...

  • Beautiful!

  • thats talent right there

  • I'm trying to learn this song and it is impossible.... great job by the way

  • You are one of my piano idols. Your amazing... ^_^

  • Your playing inspired me to practice. I dunno, I simply love this song. When I watched you play I decided that I want to learn this song someday. This inspired me to practice, big time.

    Great job :)

  • same here, one of those things where i say i gotta learn that song sometime before i die. lol.

  • I thought I was listening to the cd lol. Which parts did/do you find hardest to play in this. I'm learning it right now and the intro section is easy but when I try to play all those LH arpeggios in the main theme It goes horribly wrong

  • nah the ending is annoying to learn

  • well played buddy!

  • this is great but its not the 'besaid island' from final fantasy X-2

  • yeah it's the one from final fantasy X. This is from the FFX Piano Collections...

  • its not besaid island from FFX either

  • really it isnt?! lol ive been playing the game and im like where the heck is this song i dont remember it playing anywhere. but anyways this guy is gooooddddd

  • yeh, the original sounds very different. much slower. great playng though in this arrangement. i love Uematsu's harmonies. he's amazing

  • yeah i totally agree i really like all the music he writes.

  • Both versions were written by Masashi Hamauzu, not Uematsu. I love the music for Besaid....

  • Wow. Your really good man. But to be honest all of the besaid music on piano that I've heard don't really sound like it. But your still really good. 5/5.

  • Welll except they don't really play the piano.I just wish I can play like you.I seriously SERIOUSLY love your performances on the video's you make

  • hmm well what do you think of my second besaid video?

    it's not perfect, but ya...just another recording.

    It's much better than this one though

  • aww man, I always do this

    DW5 is other account :)

  • Hey calbee.Did you notice that I told my classmates on how good on playing you were.They didn't care but I just had to tell them on how talented you were.Watched it and They LUUUUVED it.They're like "I wish I can play like him!"lols

  • OH lol

    thanks, I appreciate it

  • CALL ON MEEEEE CALL ON ME CALL ON MEEEE CALL ON ME xD

  • Trying to review your performance on this.Just having some minor adjusments on the last 9 bars on the piece.WOW you play soo fast I can't even catch up. Sooon I'll be finished this piece in no time.Just have to watch your video's for more information.

  • wow..i stopped getting piano lessons after 2 years and started playing on my own..sometimes i wonder if i could've been better still having lessons today =\ i think i've been playing for almost 3 years now and i could play FFVII main theme, is that good?? and great job on this peice =D

  • hey! i would love to play this song but can't get/find the sheet music for it? how did you get yours? oh and by the way your playing is INSANE

  • you have to go to my profile

  • SELF TAUGHT?! I've been playing piano for fun for around 2 or 3 years (not that much, still from time to time) and I can't play anything like this. Tell me what you did! : )

  • lol well first of all I've been playing for about 5 years now.

    and well...it just takes a lot of practise and devotion
