  • I agree with bryanyslim. You played the notes with no soul or spirit and the tempo is not rignt at all. The song is a soothing calmng song and always brings me back to my childhood staying up that extra hour at night when i should be in bed for school the next morning. Unfortunately after listening to this you have somehow mad the song un-relaxing and complicated. Sorry to say that you have pretty much murdered the tone and mood of this lovely song.

  • Good job, however, you seem to be focusing more on the background music than on the main one. For example at 1:20. I can see that you want the background music to be there, but the main notes get left out and when you get back to it the melody is gone.

    Other than that I see no problem. :)

  • yeah you suck lol

  • Havent listened to this in two years.. I still like it.. Play this again and up it man..

  • This is really plinky plonky. There's no musicality here bro. If you want to be a composer you need to feel the music. Just playing the notes isn't enough.

  • @Buggaton I quit being a composer actually. lol

  • @ManHoPark What?! If that's what you wanted to do, how can you have reneged?! Talk to me!

  • @ManHoPark That's pretty sad. You're a pretty good player even in this video from five years ago. It's obvious you've spent a lot more effort for what you enjoy than most people do. It's kind of a waste to give up now, isn't it? You should reconsider your decision, even if you decide to only continue composing as a side hobby for now. You can't really fail at something until you call it quits, so I would keep at it if I were you. Good luck, either way. I liked your playing here. =)

  • @jimthegreat1012 Oh I still continue to play just not post polished videos. The truth is it has nothing to do with problems with money, or pressure, the problem is eyestrain. Most people might not consider it a disability, but computer eyestrain hasn't only affected my composing, it has affected insomnia, and career interests and skills. So currently I live in Social Security Disability. I am having a hard time motivating myself to do things I don't care to much about.

  • @Buggaton You're retarded he played awesome

  • @xHITSWOMENx I have several renditions in my youtube. Check out the shared videos.

  • Not bad, just work on the speed and the tone.

  • Without feeling , its like a piano midi , and too fast , i think do you don't understand the piece and the composer.

  • so good but sometime too fast

  • You need more feeling. Otherwise, great job.

  • I've played the game since it came out i think faster def adds a little more of what I wanted in this song, 'cept...........he messes up too much and some notes are hit a little hard *softness needed*

  • tooo fast too fast to fast!!! the piano needs tuning too. but the detuning does give it character.... but your playing it too fast!!! lol props.

  • there's no soul to this lol

  • Sorry, is your name Man Ho?

  • @Danielnoctis his korean name

  • it's supposed to be this fast in the piano version, people.

  • The faster pace gives this song so much character. Stop whining about it, people.

  • the slightly out of tune ring in the piano gives it character as well.

  • dynamics and tempo. the bane of all percussionists' exsistence...

  • Not just too fast, but too hard. The piano is struck too hard for this song... it's a very peaceful song.

  • awesome

  • ya like they said a bit fast, but u still f'n rocked it a+

  • idk dude. too fast and i think i heard a couple sour notes. otherwise good job.

  • you killed the song man too loud and too fast!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!!!!

  • @darktirador ya i just watched 15 seconds of it and im like O.o! its good otherwise! but it needs to be softer..lol

  • @darktirador

    then don't watch it asshole.

  • @RUL1S88 sorry if I offended you I'm really sorry

  • I believe you played all the right notes but, as it has been said before, you played too fast and it sounds harsh.

  • It's fast, and way too loud. Fisherman's Horizon is a calm and serene location, where all is (supposedly) peaceful and well. I think that your style of playing, at least, in this case, sounds too energetic.

  • Nice played:)

  • good job man..well done..=D

  • A little fast but still great, you play it extremely well but I think it would sound much better slowed down a notch. Other than that, very good. =)

  • Seems a bit faster than the actual soundtrack. But I'd say its still pretty good.

  • Perfect, man. That's just so be-A-utiful. I've been playing this song with my guitar and I love it and I must say you there playing that piano make it sound just like a real masterpiece as it is.

  • piano on crack?

  • 良かったです

  • how the hell where yu able to do that? 1:55

  • sweet im learning this peice right now, 5/5

  • u better slow down a little....it's a bit faster than the original

  • look, this guy is AWESOME and any simgle person with any problem with the way he plays it should take another look cos it is perfect!

  • make it mellow man..

  • yeah but that takes minimal time to perfect

  • i agree. relax man - dont ruin the song by rushing.

  • great song, i wish someone had a tutorial for this and a few other pieces of the piano collection on here

  • Yeah, A tutorial would be great!!

  • im not trying to be a punk but learning sheet music will actually be easier than an tutorial

  • Good job man!

  • have you seen a green arm??

  • Way too fast, Sloooow dooooown

  • I really liked this version, like somone else stated, this is the sharper version and i like it. Thumbs up man!

  • :<

    uguuuu... it gives me the chills, i love this song

  • It's happy hour at the Fisherman's Horizon saloon!

    funny take of this song, and well played. I really like it. Great work.

  • As a random aside, I have those same pajama bottoms. XD

    .. Also, the playing was awesome. I love this song, so soothing x.x'

  • where is the music for this (free)??? coz ive got a more simpler version but i want this one!

  • you can find it on ffmusic . ffshrine . org

  • arrh man I love that tune!

  • heh.. makes me wanna play ffviii again

  • In my personal opinion this is a sharp and loud version of the (In my opinion) more peaceful original version of the song.

    I can't say I enjoyed listening to this since the main essence of the song was tranquility to me.

  • I agree that the essence of this song is tranquility and a bit of.. sadness, but this was a great version nonetheless

  • I dont think it was sad, Fishermans Horizon was a peaceful place way out of the way of anything, and it had a little bit of loneliness because of it.

  • Incredibly inspirational! Beautiful piano playing, brought back alot of memories :)

  • Amazing!!!! that was the best!!

  • awesome! i like how you played it. :D. you made it your own piece and thats wonderful. :). it has a greater feel than the other versions. :). and i had no problem with it even though it's fast. :) too bad you won't post anymore videos. :(. oh well, ill just save this link so i could watch it over and over again. :)). and hey... don't listen to what other people say. :). most of your viewers loved it anyway.

  • Very nice. I'm not one to judge, but I enjoyed the hell out of it. Brings back a lot of memories; the live FH concert and making your manly characters tapdance. Good times, I'll look for more of your work.

  • try to get that wonder on computer instead of ps that should be easy

  • I miss FF8. My PSone is all messed up so I can't play anymore even if I buy a new copy of FF8.:(

  • Answer : PC Emulators

  • Last post was for BlackBaneBeauty

  • Isn't that illegal? My classmate introduced those to me, I played "Silent Hill" in his computer, It's just like the real thing but the feel is different and it took hours to download one... Also, the graphics just isn't the same as the PSone version

  • wow that was sooo amazing...

    after this song has made me emotional so many times...

    u still were able to bring the best out of this song~ i loved the way u played it~

    it sent chills down my back ^o^

  • some parts had great feel, some really didnt. Still a good job though.

  • although it's a lil bit fast than the ost but honestly i actually like it , ur amazing

  • nice but try to slow down a little

  • i agree! great musicality. but it would be more effective and moving at a slower tempo. i believe the sheet music says 72bpm.

  • youre a fucking beast

  • that was quite good. but try to slow down your tempo. as this song is kinda like an emotional song.

  • He can play this song however he wants to.

  • Obviously, you don't know what you're talking about.

    Playing a song wrong can ruin it.

    He kinda did, playing it way too loud, and way too fast.

  • Beauty is in the eye(Or ear in this case) of the beholder. Do you look for structure and tempo, volume and melodic accuracy when you listen to a song.

  • Or do you want something thats nice to listen to? I would say by the rating of this video that most people think that he hasnt ruined this song and that they're enjoying his music.

  • One thing that I (Or others for that matter) may not enjoy however is coming across unconstructive criticism saying so generalized and bland as "He ruined it,its too loud and fast". Dark0987 and nfera gave consrtuctive criticism making references to the original bpm setting for this piece of music and also stating that the song is "emotional".

  • While I agree that if the song wanted an original feel that the tempo should be slower I think the way he plays adds character slowing down and speeding up certain parts of the piece (if you may have noticed). Whether its intentional or not I really like it. And so do the majority of people who have view this.

  • Very good^^ you know how to impress:)

  • nice drawings dude. i always draw final fantasy stuff

  • oh and good piano too, i like how it replicates the song really well (alot of the piano ones i've seen dont sound this good)

  • how long have you been playing?

    its great.and please dont worry about critics.you ruleee^_^

  • Thatssss nice!! make it slower xD ^^ I love it

  • that was VERY impressive...i kno a site where u can get all the final fantasy piano sheets its gr8...if ur finding it a ltitle ard to get

  • Where? I would like them please..

  • holy shit ur crazy! i wanna learn please ! :D

  • This brings me back such good memories...I wish I still had the game =[

    Awesome playing

  • I felt the same way, I simply downloaded the emulator and rom for PSX, but it's a pain to get.

  • U MAN R AWSOME!!no no excuse me! ur are not just a man!^_-,but! u played the song slightly faster then in the game,so it doesnt give u that feel

    T_T im sry,but still faved

  • ^__^ I love this song. It cheers me up and relaxes me.

    Great job!!!

    You rock!

  • I love it!!!! i stayed in this area as long as I could cause the music is the best^^ but can u slow it down a lil? its a bit to fast. great job tho!

  • Dude, you are taking over YouTube with your piano playin'.

  • The minute I heard this song in FFVIII, I know it will be a great song to play on the piano. You've realised that for me first:P Also it's truly an ejoyment, merci beaucoup:)

  • wow ur super good

  • great job could'nt have done it better my self

  • very nice playing! but your tempo was a little fast. good job though!

  • You played my favorite song from the game so beautifully. I have to agree with another poster, on some other pieces the piano itself would odd, but EVEN so, you played This piece WONDERFULLY on it! It made me happy. :D

  • awesome playing very good i love this song but i think your tempo was a little fast but your awesome at playing

    Too fast. Harmony and sound need some work too. Good overall.

  • this piece is timeless.... no matter how much you hear it... it always sounds good. 5 STARZ!

  • That was very good dude. I only listened because i'm gonna be playing it on a competition.

  • nice one :), try to slow down a lil bit...only that...

  • awesome! I remember being in fisherman's horizon in the game, and instead of moving, I'd let the game sit and just listen. I listened so much that I learned to play the song on Piano

  • i like to listen to it while sleeping...very calming...so fresh!

  • hey! nice job! but how did you manage to hang your cam on the ceiling? cool!!

  • awesome! I remember being in fisherman's horizon in the game, and instead of moving, I'd let the game sit and just listen. I listened so much that I learned to play the song on Piano.

  • nice pants

  • That was cool

  • YOU RULE !!! PLEASE PLAY DEARLY BELOVED FROM KINGDOM HEARTS, AL THE OTHER ONES ON HERE SUCK lol good job!

    ty for playing something truly awe-inspiring :)

  • omgaaa!i wuvv this song!...well i hav never heard it be4 but its a really nice song...gud job..r u the guy thats topless wen playin one of the final fantasy song??

  • duuuude thats awesome!!! i wanna play the game soo much now lol

  • great, very enjoyable.

  • you have the book!

    I meant to buy it for my brother for christmas

  • bravo

  • very good. bit too much on the sustainer pedal but i definately couldnot do better. very nice to listen to

  • the hammers of the piano :-S

  • I really do like this song, I agree with some of the others, in the beginning it needs fixing but then you felt the music. This is definitly one of my favorite songs from the Final Fantasy Series!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG! I LOVE THIS GAME!!!

  • remarkable

  • u made me wanna play ff8 again!

  • Oooh...I love this song =) I just have two suggestions: Play the beginning a little softer, and the tempo a little slower. But good job! I was gonna learn this one.

  • i remember this1 OMg u brought me so many memories of this game! lol.

  • yeah they're right, the problem is that you're playing a tempo too fast. part of the problem is that the former chord mixes with the latter. But otherwise you're pretty talented, and I've seen no one else here play this song.

  • yihaa!!*O* XD

  • Good Player!

  • dude, let it flow from your fingers. The piano is your friend. The first half is too aggressive. The second part is really nice.

  • Really Nice!

  • superb!

  • yeh you got some nice talent there. when i was reading the comments, waiting for the video to load ithought these were your typical upstuck overt pianists picking at every single fault. but really, they have a point you shouldnt try to "attack" the piano take it a little easy its not rachmaninov or shostakovich lol its some background atmospheric music.

  • One of the greatest songs written for Final Fantasy...but don't beat it out...let it flow....

  • why are u attacking the piano

  • Some of you should stop putting him down, I bet you can't even play the piano, probably not even that good. I think it's very good^^

  • bit strong and fast at the start but it soften downs nicely after the half way mark, im really impressed

  • i really respect you for playing a song from FFVIII. 8 is my all time favorite final fantasy game and it makes me sad that everybody is playing the same music from final fantasy 7, 9, and 10. good job!!! you did great! i'm working on Find Your Way. perhaps i'll post it up, show you, and we can go back and forth with sending each other music from final fantasy 8.

  • feels like im still playing ff8. ahh the good ol memories ^.^

  • a little too fast and too hard, but good though

  • yeah epileptic seizure

  • a bit fast but other than that...it was good ^^

  • i've seen a number of your videos, you should practice playing softly. you play like how i used to play. piano bashing style. keep in mind, what the song was written for and the type of mood it is trying to create.

    work on your dynamics and touch mate =] it will sound much better XD practice scales and technical work! as boring as they are, they DO help.
