[punxkid10000]

[Sakurab]

I agree =3

[YouKnowMeByTheHat]

lol sailor pluto :B

[ECSit]

whats funny is its in tetris but its originally a folk song XD

[SavannahCullen]

TETRIS!

[pnutbutter025]

who was the drummer dressed up as? couldn't really see him

[LeonTrigger]

@pnutbutter025 I know this might be a bit of a late response but I believe he was Rinoa.

[pnutbutter025]

that is amazingly AWESOME!!!

[mysheeki]

TETRIS!!!!!!!!!

[ShaoticMaster]

"AHAHAHA THEY'RE AWESOME!"

[sageofwinds]

Tetris, Metal Gear, and Toejam and Earl.

Awesome xDD

[xCutexPrincessx]

i remember them guys,lol

they were dressed as the girls from Final Fantasy,lol

[Lugnal]

Flute too muffled...

Great video though, the feel is consistent with the original.

[Iamjustherek]

OMG DUH! How stupid was I...

[Iamjustherek]

Where was the first song from? I've heard it somewhere but I can't place it... sorry if I'm being an idiot!

[Randomichinisan]

I want this song in MP3 XD

[DestructionPanCAKE]

omg its fusco and paul and jayyyyson haha these guys rule

[deathnotefan72]

OMG! You have to love the TJ and E tribute there at the end! I loved that game so much!

[Xeraphem]

Wow, I wonder who the drummer dressed up as... Meh, at least Man-Fai wasn't there. This band's awesome, thought. xD

[pumpkingoth]

i cant hear the flute enough :(

[da1barker]

needs more cowbell

[youjinbou]

"Selphie" should have dressed up a Aerith instead...

[abubacar]

is that guy wearing a muu muu?

[elrapido5150]

What are they playing?

[disturbedNBK]

Sounds like the theme tune from Tetris.

[Sakurab]

I said it at the start of the vid, that they are playing the Tetris theme song XD;

[trifanfool]

I thought the guitars kind of made the flute inaudible

[Randomichinisan]

This is sooo awesome :''')

[Spacepoliceman]

good stuff, should have turned up 'links' mike though, the guitars drown the flute out.

[BurnThroughMe]

Ozma did it better.

[vetmode]

Like the idea, reminds a bit of Korpiklaani just not as drunk.

[Abelito007]

Scratch that...not even sasuke lol >.>

[Abelito007]

LOL...Link awesome..the buffest sasuke I've ever seen..and are the other 2 supposed to be Selphie Tilmitt and Tifa from Final Fantasy 7 & 8? lol that's funny

[spade00000]

I think the other is supposed to be yuffie not sasuke

[Abelito007]

Yeah lol thats what I thought afterwards.."Wait why would there be a sasuke amongst FF girls" LOL I didn't really think about it at that moment.

[GNRSlashfan]

They seem like a fun group, but not a talented one. If I were there, I bet I would've liked the show, but they sound awful in this video. 1/5. :(

[senarodrigo]

Yeah, you're right. Lots of energy, but very messy. And the audio quality is bad too. But I don't think it deserves only one star

[viviffix]

Are they the Minibosses in the background?

[jenikatsuya]

Everyone complaining about sound distortion has never seen a gig.

[Sakurab]

Thank you XD

The sound quality of my camera had very little to do with the sound of the performance, as it was a small, enclosed crowded room, and so the music being played by the band just had to kind of bounce itself back off of the walls, instead of sounding crisper if they had perhaps played in a more open venue.

[Azura189]

apparently they have a myspace page

/knightsoftheroundcosplay1

[Volkai]

Superb... was this a spontaneous grouping, or did Flute Link and the Knights of the Round come to the con as a group?

[MercuryEnigma]

Group. We all are friends from High School. But us 4 are nowhere near as talented as FL, none of us pursued music as much.

[linxan]

Yeah, it was the Selphie dress that I noticed first, then the rest of the crossplay slowly dawned on me. As far as not being able to hear it well, I blame it on poor recording quality.

[NintendoArielle]

I always knew Link played Tetris in his downtime. :)

[HiroCascade]

I bet this actually sounded in person than the camera's distortion.

[Bambooshka]

HAHAHA THEY'RE AWESOME

>.>

[Persiana]

They have the same problem my former band had. Instead of having instrumental moments, mashing it all in makes it difficult to hear well every part of it.

[TheWanderingRurouni]

The yellow dress is Selphie, not Wakka. Tifa is behind Link, and Yuffie is to Link's right.

[numb19029]

is there a better quality vid? xD

[Sakurab]

Not sure, otherwise this is the best that I could do XD

[numb19029]

ok xD

[zaiger16]

It's like Jethro Tull meets win and god!

[Sakurab]

Indeed! XD

[XxSconeManxX]

hahaha! a firebird? wow man, get real, buy a guitar because of it's feel and tone, not just because it "lookz k00l".

[Mandock]

Wow, i guess you're one of those guys who thinks a guitar isn't worth playing unless it's a strat or a les paul. Have you ever played a Firebird? The "feel and tone" is amazing not to mention the action on them. Give it a shot before you knock it noob.

[Zolatos]

... Its not the Feal of the insterment thats important its the Sound ... Noob

[Mandock]

lolololz the feel of an instrument isn't important? Try saying that to any self respecting guitarist without them laughing in your face.

[level4paperboy]

Feel is important, but if you sound like shit at the same time as you're "feeling" it, then you're about as good as Jazon Becker in his current state...Yes, I went there...

[ZarroTsu]

The Beautiful sound of the flute... Completely drowned out by the too-fucking-loud electric guitars and base. The band sucks at arrangement :\

[ArdenDrake0]

I'd put money down that the flute is easier to hear live. Most camera's aren't known for their high quality mics.

[Sakurab]

Mah lil camera did teh best eet could, but I am so definitely getting a much better one for next year...WITH ACTUAL FLASH INCLUDED TOO XDD

[mundox86]

tetris tune ownz all!

[onerandommoment]

HAHAHA! Crossplayers playing the Tetris themetune. Utterly amazing!!!!!

The guy playing guitar dressed as Yuffie just makes me laugh via his existance!

1.16 RANDOM SAILOR!!!

[darknemesiseinar]

it's cossplay*

[onerandommoment]

I know it's cosplay lol

but if u get the joke. CROSSplayers. as in. cross dressers?!?!

cos the guys are dressed as girls and the girl dressed as guys...

joke = totally ruined!

[Sakurab]

XDDDDDDD

[rggemmell]

Actually the guys are dressed in Final Fantasy costumes... The Yellow is Wakka from Final Fantasy X anyway

[MakoShikure]

Wrong! They're dressed up as Final Fantasy girls. The one all the way to the right is Yuffie, the one in the middle is Tifa, and the one in the yellow is Selphie. I can't tell who the drummer is supposed to be though, you can't see a lot of him.

[Dezren]

The drummer is Rinoa LOL I wish the guys left their wigs on, they looked even more awesome :-D but they were afraid the wigs would get in their way/mess up the playing. Oh well! :-P

--Flute Link

[TheNewKeybearer]

Seriously.  Wakka doesn't wear a dress.

[Novouto]

grrrrrrrrr I could barely hear the flute link. Not that the other guys did a bad job but they sorta drowned the flute's sound alot.

[kenjulie]

I have never seen something that was so awesome yet so very very wrong at the same time.

[kisaa]

lol selphie <3333

[Riggadaddy]

Are they all dressed as FF girls?

[Hydronisa]

It would seem that way

[atakkuuuuu]

omg it's those final fantasy crossplayers!!! <3

[darknemesiseinar]

actually it's cosplayers.* :)

[genericman3]

Actually, the term CrossPlayer is correct due to the fact that the people are dressed as a caracter opposite of their gender. As "Cross Dressing" would be a man dressed in female cloths and vice versa. Same concept, but acceptable by society. No insult intended. :)

[atakkuuuuu]

hahaha! indeed you are correct good sir!

[Cloz1124]

-_- ignore my comment, some how my siblings were on my account... i apologize. I seen her live and she did an awesome job btw

[Sakurab]

Lol, ahh. No prob XDD

[Relaera]

Ahh! I need to get ahold of the two girls that are shown at like... 2:51 - 2:56 or so! If ANYBODY knows who they are (I have first names), but I need email address pref. PLEASE let me know.

[Cloz1124]

Who is this flute link

[Sakurab]

Umm...you're not serious right? O.o

*Points at vid, and also the link to the 'Flute Link Masquerade' vid.

If I were you, I'd get busy watching those vids, then you'll know just exactly *who* teh epic awesome 'Flute Link' is >3

[KitsuneKaya]

ahhh Flute Link FTW!!!!! She is absolutly amazing!! Hope to see you again next year! ^^ and ah Tetris ^^ I wish I could have heard that.

[TZTwin]

This is AWESOME...I wish I could have been there!

[thecreator315]

I was in there watching... real good job guys!

[Dezren]

Hey all, Flute Link here! Wow, I'm SO glad someone took a video of this!! My friends were up dancing, so no one thought to get the camera to tape it :-P These buddies I'm playing with are called the Knights of the Round, they're absolutely amazing and I had a fantastic time playing with them! :-D I believe they have a myspace, if anyone wants to contact them. Thanks again for posting!!

--Flute Link

[Sakurab]

Lol, I have 'The Flute Link' herself posting. EPIC! XDD

You and this band, the Knights of the Round were all *amazing* 8D

I just happened to be walking by, on my way to the Dealer's room, and then BAM! The sounds of this awesome moosiq just lured me in, and I just *had* to start taping XD

And I also saw your performance at the Masquerade last year, and was part of the standing ovation for your performance this year. YOU KICKED ASS! Love ya! <3

~Sakura Blossoms~

[minorians]

you are overall an amzing musician. I'm glad I got to see you epicly pwn in the masq

[TheDragoness]

:O Flute Link! *bows down*

I saw you at the Masquerade, I was blown away! @_@ I'm glad someone posted your performance on YouTube, because I've been telling everyone about it XD

Go you!

[ChaosShadaki]

It was pretty cool how this group played Tetris...and when Toejam and Earl came up, I was very surprised. Good job to the whole band! That was great!

And <3 Laura, she's freaking amazing.
