This gives me such wonderful memories. I've been playing video games since PS1 and i'm still a proud owner of the PS1 and the complete Final Fantasy series. No other game can give me such a unique adventure. I hope these games will not be forgotten in the coming generations.
when i am sad i used to go to this video until now i find peace when i listen to you when you play the piano thank you for sharing a wonderful piece of art with us
I think the mistake is at 1:47. You should be playing an A but you are playing Flat A instead. Anyway, good video above all, you played it really good. I am actually trying to record this song on my piano but I'm having the same problem as you: always a random mistake you should never do, and you know it, but still you make it over and over, and when you think you finally got it then another random mistake shows up, but it's worth trying for one of the best songs ever :).
anyone else think think his playing is just insane?
it really doesnt take much for you to be able to play this stuff
ive been playing for less than a year, finished eyes on me (piano collections and angela aki version) and ive got my heart set on an arrangement of this soon
as long as your hearts in it, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want
I don't care what responses I get, but I need to get this out;
I have been filled with rage, hatred, anger, thoughts of killing, destruction and death for this entire day up until this point. I can't stop crying now as I look back on such emotions or thoughts, but now I have some peace.
It's interesting as I watch your hands hit keys and play notes, from a time in the past; its resonation reaching to this point in the future to still my anger even now.
Man, Final Fantasy is the best game music ever, only game music that could ever even come close to making me cry. And Arkton, you're incredibly talented; all your reditions are amazing and beautiful beyond words. Just major kudos and keep it up! <3!
I dont play the game... But i seriously love this song and this version of the song... However i think it would b nice if there is a musicbox version of it...
This is possibly the worst description for a song ever, but i really want to know what the name of the FF song is where its pretty much an ascending scale. I cant remember its name i just remember it from my childhood.
@woahthereshiz its the final fantasy 7 prelude presentation version. it was also used in pre-final fantasy 7 games, just seach up final fantasy 7 prelude
a mistake at the middle of the song, the part ending the bridge and leading to the chorus. it's noticeable, but doesn't ruin the melodies, at least I can take it in. Awesome job, I have always loved your performance and you never failed me. Please keep up the good work, I'm looking for more ^^
@williampun24 Stop making shit up. I've heard these type of comments in so many videos I'm like aww that's tight. After you see it so many times on people just copying off other people.
2 People Cried So Hard That They Didn't See Where they Were Clicking And Accidentally Click the Dislike Button Then When They Knew That They Clicked it They Killed Themselves.
the 2 people who dislike this need to go die in a fire. there's always gotta be those people who don't appreciate talent. probably because they have none of their own.
I found your mistake. Near the end of the first "flowing" but, you hit A, Ab, Gb instead of C B etc.
But this is beautiful, and I wish I could play it like you. It's one of those songs I think I will have to learn just a few bars to perfection* every day.
* There's no such thing as perfection. There is, however, "the best you can do".
@Arkton Are you using any vst plugin for the sound recording? or is it just the piano's output ? Sounds more like alicia key's vsti than the clavinova 280 sound
The way you played this, was absolutely beautiful I actually had tears in my eyes. This is actually my favorite Final Fantasy song, and you did a magnificent job. You should be very proud of yourself, this song is very difficult! : D
I look forward to more of your work, please keep doing your best!
P.S.
If its alright, may do a vocal cover of this, using your video? Of course I would give credit/post video response. If not, I understand~
Started learning to play this on Piano, but it surely does require LOTS of practice! :D How long have you been practicing till you perfected this song?
Your hands moved as dancers on a stage, leaping and gliding across the ivory and from them poured honeyed notes of most high quality to fill the mind's desire and the soul contented.
This is better than the official Piano Collections CD version, I believe, because we can actually hear and see the strength and passion that you put into your music. Keep it up!
Arkton,when I first saw this video:I was awestruck and at a loss for words because it felt as if I was in a live performance and I had chills running down my spine and even now,I'm still blown away from this this is so good.
You're probably the best Final Fantasy piano player on youtube...seems like u could take Nobuo's place or be like him? It's sad that he retired.....after FFX, everything is dull...pretty much the music, keep up the awesome work! Good luck! ƒ♪♫♪♪♫♪.....
You my friend have become my personal hero. I've started playing the piano not too long ago(about 5 months) in hopes to play like you do. Good job and keep it up.
Alone for a while ive been searching through the dark for traces of the love you left inside my lonely heart . . . wish i could play the piano . . . you're brilliant
You are incredible at the piano, don't ever stop. I am very jealous that you can play i have always wanted to learn how to. Thanks for all the beautiful melodies <3
I know you've done some non-Final Fantasy pieces and if you ever feel like doing some non-FF again, I'd like to nominate some of Yuki Kajiura's work from the Noir Soundtrack. They're simpler compositions than what you're used to doing, but they're awesome to listen to just the same (Zero Hour, At Dusk, Lullaby, Snow, Melodie, Solitude by the Window).
I just wanted to say that your recordings are absolutely amazing. Thank you for doing them. I actually have some of them in my ipod, which gets quite a lot of play time when I study. I'm glad to hear that you're back, it's exciting to anticipate what'll be in the queue.
Brilliant! Outstanding! Started piano 5 months ago, and I'm adding the finishing touches to Tifa's theme. I didn't realise that someone as good as you also records multiple times till its perfect. Spent 3 months learning Tifa's theme (on and off), but I'll only play it perfectly one out of 4 times, other times usually a small mistake creeps in. I was wondering are you playing from the score, or from memory? And how many takes do you usually do before making a peferct recording? Thanks, keep well
It's partly from score and memory. The more I practice, the better I can play it from memory, like this one. However, I still play from the sheet music so I don't get lost while playing.
@KX5Kat I can't really say how many takes it needs. For example, with this one, I got a good version after ten minutes, but with an obvious flaw in it. So I continued, as I wrote in the video description. It depends on luck, and how much you played without pausing (breaks!). I can't really remember anymore for the old videos, but on average I would say 1.5-2 hours of takes per video, to get them to a near perfect state for me personally.
Thanks for the feedback, its about the same for me. Have you tried any guitar covers? Haha I also noticed our hands are almost identical, friends always get jealous when I can play 10ths fairly easily. Looking forward to future projects, cheers.
In this piece I'am still hunting down those interchanging 16th 8th and 8th*=12th notes in the left hand. Feeling seems to be the only option to get that on the way.
Nice! I'm really glad to see that you've started recording piano vids again Arkton. Dude the last one you made before Vanille's Theme was Eyes on Me... and that was two years ago 0_o haha
As usual, a masterpice played wonderfuly :) (I probably already said it even for this video, but I watched it so many times already, along with your other videos that I can't remember if I said it for this one ;-) )
If you ever make an MP3 out of this video and put it on your website, as you did for your other videos, please inform us so we can download it as soon as possible :D

@KX5Kat I can't really say how many takes it needs. For example, with this one, I got a good version after ten minutes, but with an obvious flaw in it. So I continued, as I wrote in the video description. It depends on luck, and how much you played without pausing (breaks!). I can't really remember anymore for the old videos, but on average I would say 1.5-2 hours of takes per video, to get them to a near perfect state for me personally.

@Arkton
Thanks for the feedback, its about the same for me. Have you tried any guitar covers? Haha I also noticed our hands are almost identical, friends always get jealous when I can play 10ths fairly easily. Looking forward to future projects, cheers.

@Arkton I know it's been a while, but I'd like to come back to this question. Are you a memoriser, a sight-reader, or half-half?

I'am your fan.
In this piece I'am still hunting down those interchanging 16th 8th and 8th*=12th notes in the left hand. Feeling seems to be the only option to get that on the way.

Nice! I'm really glad to see that you've started recording piano vids again Arkton. Dude the last one you made before Vanille's Theme was Eyes on Me... and that was two years ago 0_o haha

As usual, a masterpice played wonderfuly :) (I probably already said it even for this video, but I watched it so many times already, along with your other videos that I can't remember if I said it for this one ;-) )
If you ever make an MP3 out of this video and put it on your website, as you did for your other videos, please inform us so we can download it as soon as possible :D
A fan. :)
