Final Fantasy VII - Tifa's Theme (Piano Collections)

[look2heavenz]

enjoy!

[2000firefly]

dammit there is no more final fantasy 7 English version games sold any more! *sob*!!!

[TerzKeks]

@2000firefly why not try ebay? ;)

[plase0ne]

I wish this way a kingdom melody...beautiful :,)

[leinhartify]

you are so great...

[RanaLizzievm31]

so jemand deutsch

[weterr123]

Your interpretation is the best I've ever heard - I actually prefer it to the Piano Collections version. I hear slight discrepancies in comparison (good ones!) and so it from your video and mp3 that I am learning this (I'm actually marking the changes on the sheet music I have LOL). No, you did not over do the rubato. Fantastic job. One more thing - I have never played the game - it is through this that I'm about to - right now!! I hope it's similar to games like Phantasy Star IV - retro RPG!!

[whitelion204]

@weterr123 You should try, the FF series itself is truly a mastepiece along with its music, gameplay, graphics, etc. Imo Nobuo is considered Mozart of video games, all themes that he composed fit perfectly well with the games.

[FinalxImp4ct]

Absolutely perfect... God that game was good. This song, coupled with Cloud and Tifa's past and what happened later in the future as they got stronger could bring any fan of FF7 to their knees... Great work my friend :)

[Lando452]

Great job, brings back so many memories, absolutely beautiful

[tollesonplayer100]

Ok first off awesome good job second can anybody help me out i swear I've heard this somewhere other than ff and i can't remember

[teizle1]

theres no final fantasy game that brings back the most memories then ff7.

[MrPierdole123]

@teizle1 FF7 Oh THe time i first played it :D. Its was such a BIG Hit and it still is like hell on of the best Games

[Menethico]

You sir are soo annoying... I can't play this piece at all!? My hands deliberately disobey me when i get to note page 2 ? :O

But very beautiful Arkton ;)

[8amistico]

mr. arkton i love how you play all the final fantasy's melodies i think you put an extra feelling on it it sounds just great i love to play final fantasy music to on my piano. you're the best player of FF music i found in the whole internet.

[masterzed1]

:) TY.....

[sambrice]

Awesome, people think im mental when I try and explain how this game changed my life, the music on this game is so amazing.. Love it, so well played also

[mikaniscool]

please don't hate me If I'm a CloTi fan it's just that it's my choice and opinion so

sorry if I offend the CLoud and Aeris fans sorry :(

[mikaniscool]

Tifa Lockhart..... Miss this game *sigh* GO FF VII... this song is awesome...

all those moments in FFVII *sigh* This song is quite sad but happy because if

you imagine all of Tifa's moments in the game the song fits her well, I guess even her

personality. I'm a CloTi fan :) sooo awesome song and good as usual cuz arkton played it :)

[Musashiryu]

any idea for an abrsm ( or equivalent school) grade for this piece?

[JeremiahhhL]

I just don't get how you can dislike a video like this? seriously.

[NicoMegadeth]

hi man!. First... I get you my congratulations for that excelent job. Really, is amazing and so beautifull. A delight for the ears.

Second... I wanna ask you (if is not nuisance), if you know where I can find the partitions for piano of this piece. (I am guitarrist from ten years ago, and newly the last week I could buy my first piano (the dream of the kid (pibe)) .

And for last... sorry for my bad english jaja.

Regards from Argentina!.

[A7XGirl1211]

I like the beginning :)

[captivesparrow]

Beautiful. I hope I can learn to play as lovely as you.

[dragonflameking]

I'm quite certain that there's something inside me that will never die off.

[skyvin7]

It is the greatest feeling when I'm playing this song at a good piano..:D my piano svcks so i have to go to my cousin's to play..-_-

[1234Theme]

So good!

[StealingFurniture]

@Arkton I'm going to try and get this piece done, how long did it take you to finish it?

[vakko228]

I should get some of the douchebags in my school to hear this and teach them the MEANING OF LIFE

[jere372]

@Arkton You know what? I think you should make a tutorial. Because all of us want to play the piano like you.

[MihenHighroad]

@mrfunny2007 this is the case with EVERY final fantasy

[rooo1o]

Are you left-handed?

[Vanix131]

inspirational i wanna buy a piano now!

[losifer69]

I wonder why so many people would dislike this song? He didn't ruin it by trying to play it too fast or slow, It was well played, and it was beautiful.

I don't understand trolls sometimes...

[LtDanw]

aeris theme gets more hits, but i like tifa more. always take her in my party.

[ninjasrule]

I WANNA cry when i hear this, this song isn't only tifa's theme, but to me it's a symbol of her love for Cloud :3

[Underground6881]

@ninjasrule Very true, my friend! She really likes Cloud as a friend and though she loved Cloud so much, not only the looks of her beauty, but also a perfect character in FF7. They make a perfect couple! <3 <3 <3

[ninjasrule]

@Underground6881 WELL SAID! VERY WELL SAID! AND SHE STOOD BY HIM SO MANY TIMES WHEN HE LITERALLY DOWN IN THE DUMPS.

[StarScythe7]

This song is very nostalgic, great job playing, I hope you do more piano uploads :)

[bor09mex]

Wait so you...read the sheet music while playing it?..or do you practice it..? (By the way,Really Nice and soothing playing)

[Arkton]

@bor09mex I did both: reading while playing, but of course also practising it beforehand =) Thanks!

[ribeiralves95]

@Arkton Are you going to make more piano videos? I watched this at last 100 times!

[Underground6881]

@Arkton I'm speechless about you're playing. It was perfect and I'm very impressed! Teach me more about these stuffs because I'm still an amateur. The keys and also the tabs. Plz? :)

[bor09mex]

Wait so you...read the sheet music while playing it?..or do you practice it..?

[TheMuseFly]

I love the sensitivity with which you handle this. You keyboard is so mellow too, it's very easy to listen to!

I've covered Aerith's Theme and the Main Theme from FF7 on keys on my own channel, have a listen and tell me what you think!

[clevertitletxt]

If you ask me, this is one of the most underrated songs in the history of Final Fantasy.

[LightningBlade963]

Started playing this song, it is amazing :D

[87andrelee]

So awesome! Your Aerith's theme is great as well! I listen to those two songs when I'm running :D So relaxing

[ZER0tooHER0]

When I have a daughter I want her middle name to be Lockhart. I'll play this song for her.<3

[KerwinAndreDumont]

Are you using the same sound font as in the movie? It sounds almost identical great job :D

[BluzeLeferno]

I have this song on my ipod and couldnt tell the difference between this video and the song on my ipod



[ThaJuggalette4]

why no sheet music request???

[SleepyAis]

@ThaJuggalette4 Its easy to find really, just search "tifa's theme sheet music" without quotation marks on google and click the first result.

[killingmeee]

what's your digital piano brand?

[kamelot011791]

Beautiful (Tears of joy) T_T

[nickey0207]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PowerUpPlease]

I forgot how much I loved this. So understated in comparison to Aeris' theme. But just as beautiful.

[ChroMarx]

Unlike so many videos of people playing piano on youtube, you can really hear how this player puts feeling into every note. You don't even need to watch, you can just hear how the most tiny of pauses contribute and convey so much more emotion. The mark of a great pianist - I salute you, sir.

Exquisite. No other words for it.

[Nit996]

@ChroMarx Not to mention they have absolute pinpoint precision in their timing. A lot of amateur pianists I listen to on youtube get their timing just slightly off. Listening to something as accurate as this, that still has immense feeling... It's beautiful

[MrCooola]

Wonderful ;)

[DerDolle96]

there are 3 reasons that i love tifa

1. she is realy frenly

2. my best girlfrend lokes like her

3. she have big tits XD

[Rakatan6666]

@DerDolle96 My Girlfriend Looks Like Yuffie :3 me gusta :P

[IoIGinful]

i dont like Tifa but i like her theme song XD

[MrFood239]

I lolz x)

[xeroixix123]

when i was 7 i used to play this game and play this music in my head when I look out the window when its raining. Now I`m 17 and I`m crying as I hear this, It brings back so much memories, LONG LIVE FINAL FANTASY 7!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CPTVaipoKRL]

@xeroixix123 so dam true my friend. This one and with aeris, specialy with the aeris theme song

[Berpez]

Everytime I was watching other' else this music always in my mind.

[itsfrancesca1409]

incredibly beautiful x

[Renegademaster15]

I prefer Tifa's Theme to Aerith's, there I said it

[jere372]

@dymee89 no you don't have to wait till ten years. I have learning the piano for two n a half year to me this piece is slightly hard but I still manage to complete it. Jus need more practice though.

[dymee89]

How long have you been playing the piano?

I'm about to start learning it, I hope I won't have to wait 10 years to play this melody...

[Ryaoin]

@dymee89 I have been playing almost a year now and I'm going to attempt this piece for the first time tonight. It seems possible to me, so I doubt you will have to wait 10 years.

[jere372]

i just dont know why everytime after i watch ur video ur playing is better than mine. i hope i can be half as good :/

[GuyInLove7]

2 years ago I learned the intro to this song (before the melody starts). I've gotten so much better at piano since then and I think it's time to learn the rest of it. This video is so inspiring. <3

[waritgreen]

I have never been so calm watching a video of someone playing piano...Usually i would be at another tab.

[FloydPinkerton79]

Are you a boy or a girl?

[silverjonquil]

tifa's theme is way better... and play in piano is even better than the original 1

[jere372]

aerith's or tifa's?

[UchuuKeijiRaidanjin]

@jere372 Both are amazing but it's all based on opinions. I personally like Tifa's theme better but which one do you like better? :3

[jere372]

can you tell me which is easier to play? i have a hard choosing one to play for.my performance. and which sounds nicer? really need your opinions! ! thanks

[Nipponnokisoku]

[FiReHaMaEr]

how much do you spend on the piano? lol, mine sounds shit and it puts me off

[leechunghon2009]

wonderful!!!! :D

[narutoclaymore]

I'm playing this song for my school's talent night in 3 days.. And I've only learnt 2 and a half pages.. lol! But I'm thinking of just playing a different song, and rather than learning the rest, learn eyes on me!! Beeautiful piece~ :)

[Thsiscool]

I will get this down hopefully before 2011 is over. Beautifully played. :)

[kevinchui828]

Beautiful music.

[jere372]

who cares about his tempo ow wrong notes. music is never perfect. it is the imperfects that made this piece so unique.

[asdasdgafgag]

@jere372 lol hes lik twice as good as me so... i can't say anything bout his playing

[ThePlugUglys]

arkton is very talented



[michaelrtm]

awesome playing :D

for anyone after the sheet music google "tifa's theme piano collections sheet music" and at the time of posting, you'll find it at position 6 :)

[asvaldur]

^^ epic the right hand point finger trying to find the key at 4:27, just noticed now after a million times watching this vid lol

[asvaldur]

no words....

[ninjahime1991]

Aaaaweeessooommmeee..... T.T



[MrAlmost69]

30 people was dumped by Tifa Lockhart

[jason854656]

@MrAlmost69 what a slut!

[MihenHighroad]

@MrAlmost69 *were

[yamaXchii]

This song was in the audiobook on youtube of "Tifa's case" and I remember all the night I've been spending listening to that short story over and over again ". Such a beautiful song .

[dragonic2020]

Awesome!

I like how you put the pens, erasers and pens to hold your music sheets. I do it all the time.

[KentBrack]

Awesome.. Makes me want to play the game again ! 

[WCcontactDLR]

The only thing that was wrong is your tempo. Your rhythm kept on changing to often. Other than that you're fine

[OverDna]

@WCcontactDLR Uhm, that's called artist interpretation.. Yeah..

[BagelzZzMonicaLol]

oh my gosh it sound exactly the same!!!

may i ask what kind of piano that is? is it an upright?

[arhott1]

@BagelzZzMonicaLol Pretty sure it's a digital piano. lol

[mttrsll7]

really well played

[ckeene2]

I have to assume that the 30 dislikes were accidental.

[stevehand33]

This song stirs something deep within me. Thank you for sharing. I intend to learn it myself ^_^

[Lando452]

That was absolutely beautiful, great job.

[kdkmo]

FF7 has one of the best scores of any video game I've played. When I hear these themes played I can't help but be touched by them considering all the hours I spent playing FF7. I believe this theme is first presented in the game after the gang gets back from bombing the first mako reactor.

[sdkim89]

Brilliant. Just simply brilliant.

[MegaMaxism]

7777 lucky hits.

[idontnoapassword]

Comment removed by Sephiroth.

[Tsumepawa]

@idontnoapassword Actually, it should be by Rude, tifa's secret lover :P

[flyfallnite]

@idontnoapassword OMFG THAT MADE MY DAY.

[vodkaananas69]

30 people are friends with Sephiroth !

[AldarisT]

Simply outstanding my friend, for the skill in playing piano and the choise of the track...there aren't word to describe the power of this piece of music!

GZ to you, I hope one day also I can play in this way!

[Lina5207]

This is so wonderful

I must cry......

[LightningBlade963]

CRAZY GOOD ^^

[goaliedude32]

30 people are in love with Cloud too

[sldiem]

im the 3333th liker xD

[fflunatic]

Simple but worth more than 5 stars.

Amazing, really.

[asain101g]

awesome performance i must say :)

[BookClose]

so many memories... Thank you, Arkton

[grieveralone]

im now drawing squall , with your music in my background :D

[Nit996]

this video should be posted without a "dislike" button

[zukishadowheart]

were the hell is the love button. i am going to kill who does not like:,(

[fflunatic]

oh my childhood.

[sheepextreme]

Does anyone know how hard this song is to play? I have very little piano experience from the past and I'm looking to get back into it... I want this to be one of the first songs I learn to play.

[edmondhxu]

@sheepextreme oh its not difficult at all! actually i think its the easiest song out of all the ones arranged by hamaguchi. i actually just finished it today and i only started this morning. the hardest part may be the third page because there are many sharps and flats that take some time to read over. definitely start this song. its too beautiful to not play ~ ♪

[Voohoo]

@sheepextreme I'm doing the exact same thing right now and have little piano experience too! I'm terrible at sight reading so I've been learning it at a snail's pace. So far (first page) everything is doable, but also quite challenging. Just put your time and effort in and I think you'll be okay.

[Gallade400]

hm... asian?

[cid1233]

I like it. I think it's good. But I don't really "feel" the song. It could just be me. But that's my honest opinion. Sounds slow, I can't really describe it. But I know it's good. Thumbs up.

[jsever6]

30 people accidentally hit the dislike button.....fat fingered noobs

[FreyrQAY]

You play this song like you made it. Its better than the original piano song and has more emotions in it!

[ryanodell2005]

why does the Clavinova CLP 280 have to be so expensive >< blah, even if i had one I could never make it sound as amazing as you do, love your videos man, keep it up.

[bethany92596]

Honestly, people might have disliked this because they didnt like Arkton's translation of the song. This seems ridiculous though, because he did an incredible job playing Tifa's theme.

Or people could have just been in a bad mood. Some people are just assholes.

[kokis113]

good

[SephirothBeta7]

This song is...so......so much....

[wirednotice]

LOL...i use pencils as well to hold up my sheet music. loved the piece

[BlazzingSaber]

My heart always feels heavy when I hear this song, it's really depressing.

[fumachuma]

29 lonly grumpy nobody's disliked this perfect lovely piece !!!!!

[velizarcho123]

very beautiful.. I loved some of Final Fantasy tracks. Listen to Rinoa and Squall also :)

[Jasonokowo]

I feel like i' ve discovered something in my life when i hear this.

[Anidude33]

@Jasonokowo same here lol

[Ir0nman86]

hey ppl, you can find plenty of sheet music @ sheetsearch . com

[gelikgo]

your emotions are just. . .superb. . .you have your own emotions playing the masterpiece. . .you are a one of a kind arkton. . .:)

[joshyaaj]

This song brings back good memories. I used to play this game all day as a kid. Haha, I never really noticed it, but I actually beat this game at least a thousand times (exaggerating). Tifa's theme is the song that actually got me hooked on this game. Thank God ~ :)

[apocalic]

hi, how long can an electric piano last?

[kikook222]

I never noticed..but this song sounds very similar to the "Hulk Walk Away Theme" at parts.

[gelikgo]

@kikook222 it cant be denied. . .the piano has specific keys and progressions, you can never escape the thought that some parts sound similar to another piece/song

[kelkoo987]

@kikook222 i think they may have took it?

[javita1215]

como adoro esta cancion..piano collections..es lo mas :D

[takethree69]

Although I like Aerith's Theme and Eyes On Me better but your rendition of Tifa's Theme is better than your rendition of the other 2 . Not that they were bad, they were very good but this one had more feeling and it's like you let yourself "go" if you know what I mean. Incredible.

[LILYisatig3r]

i've always wished i could play the piano collections renditions of these, but i can't play piano D: you played it well, you've got such talent :)

[garljr]

always wanted to play piano, but my older bro had to play it so i decided to learn guitar on my own, but because piano is more touching i still love the piano more even though i dont know how to play it

[Stormfightermusic]

Very nice .... i have an Question: Can you send me the notes? That i can play it too? That was important to me .. thanks ..

[Sith9890]

simply fantastic... Bravo!

[fswah6]

I got goosebumps :D

[blajablaja1]

True masterpiece. I'll always remember the nice times he and his music made me pass. This song I dedicated to my GF, we had our first kiss then... :'D

[Hache2KMusic]

Truly amazing. The way in which your playing is amazing enough but the person who actually crafted this piece is beyond amazing. Props for flawlessly reproducing this truly a blessed feeling to be able to reminisce.

[RyuHirakashi1]

I've subscribed to all of your videos. Will never miss another one. Flawless performance.

[80centjack]

There are a few songs that feel like they came from inside the artist. When I hear this song every note sounds like it was supposed to be as it is.

[ggman3000]

wow amazing

[iinaaiin]

Flawless playing.

[hiphopspriority30]

FF7 remake for PS3 pleassssse!!! that's by far the best game out of the series!

[KlonoaStrike]

This reminds too much of the lost chance I had at meeting someone...

[slinq]

@KlonoaStrike i know how u feel, thats why im here. but for me it isnt someone its her maybe she will come back. they say if u love something u have to let it go but i will never stop fighting

[JCabag]

@batmanismyhusband Envious people who want those skills.

[TheDonVito17]

i was just wanted to ask a question and that is will you ever play any of the chocobo songs? like cinco de chocobo?

[KamiSilver]

[DavidWoodMusic]

@KamiSilver Liking the rape button.

[CryoTheColdMuffin]

@DavidWoodMusic way to promote destructive behavior <.<

[DavidWoodMusic]

@CryoTheColdMuffin Sorry mang.

[CryoTheColdMuffin]

@DavidWoodMusic no biggie :)

[Fantasyloveful]

It's a dream or the real life, cant choose when you play all those beautiful theme <3

[DarianVincent123]

It kind of bugs me how it sounds like Nobuo just listened to The lonely man to come up with most of this. xD
