[decidedproana23]

Man u've got great technique! Such a shame only got 100k viewers, probably cz of the recording quality

[reyke]

Do us a favour and record this with better quality pls ! :D

[RYansAdams79]

The 15 people who disliked wish they could play the piano that good that's why they disliked you man ;) good work

[allrightkama]

LEGEND!!!! WOW WITH THE PROFORMANCE 100% 10/10

[dunte86]

By far the best version on youtube!

[poo3999]

This song sucks after 3:03

[Colorado23230]

@poo3999 agreed XD

[tonyt0ny]

Dude freaaakinn awesome compared to me i still have trouble reading the notes even when having a year of piano experience :|

[VDHbrothers]

this is spot on- well done, you're a fantastic musician

[KarvArth]

So sad a great musician like you has such bad audio video quality.

You're good!

[oreoxcookies]

wow.. it sounds exactly like the original. simply amazing <3

[ShadowTriforce4961]

aggghhh, how many comments am i posting, they're not showing up on my PC... thats y i keep repeating

[ShadowTriforce4961]

*rates infinate stars* When I listen to this, I never get bored, and I can feel myself soaring above the island with a breeze, diving into the water after flying, and then swimming onto shore and meeting Tidus!!!

[Matsute]

This song is awesome no matter how many times I listen to it.

[OwangePeel]

this recording sounds so similar to the cd version. great job :D

[SabrinaValenzuela]

This is the kind of piece you can just leave on repeat and not get bored..it's sooo beautiful :) ♥

[LordVeldrin]

lol im back for dunno how manyth time, and now it shows 99,999 views xD

[MertezAad]

You missed some notes on the left hand in parts (probably on purpose tho). You play this song amazingly well. im learning it right now and it is frikken hard...

[SoraTheDarkKing96]

long live Hironobu Sakaguchi

[LiiChinHo]

I love playing the part at 0:45 mostly because of the way it feels. To me, I feel that my right hand and left hand flow majestically from one place to another as the melody flows. While playing it, I imagine the waves at Besaid Island flowing along with the music and my hands. Haha that must sound so cheesy to people reading this but that's what I truly feel playing this. xD I just love the way this piece flows.

[jMakowiak]

I totally get you... final fantasy gets to people, your not the only one :D

[NighteHearts]

Or in other words "You're Not Alone."

[Bomberman411]

It's good you appreciate what the music TRULY is! :D

[ultazar]

haha, that's fine, most people who can't appreciate what you wrote wont even appreciate this song as much. besides, you just gave me an idea for my english paper :) lol

[LiiChinHo]

Oh uhm, your welcome. o.o

[CleverDjembe]

I'm a pianist.

Using my imagination like you described gives me great pleasure in music and I know exactly how you feel =)

[Torpensann]

@LiiChinHo Wow that is exactly what is going on in my mind when I myself play this song

[kennyb270]

@LiiChinHo I agree. I definitely love the way this piece plays.

[LiiChinHo]

The Piano Collections version was way better than the OST so learning everything in it was a pleasure for me.

[piggemz]

well played boyee. but ehh, the left hand isn't quite right... i'm relearning this right now but i remember that more than one place u don't play the left hand correctly, and right now i can hear the 5th measure's left hand aint right... only slightly wrong that is... anyway, otherwise great jobe.

[Artieful]

thank you so much for uploading this

[BahamutFlareZero]

yeah the piano collections of this takes a while to learn i have to admit....im so bored of it now though cos ive played it so much!

this guy plays it amazingly, im learning this again!!

[CrowAlways]

lol

[MertezAad]

yeah, i got sick of the song before i could even finish learning it lmao.

[ramzeysid]

LMAO!! AGREED, when u force urself to learn it ur just like "shut up get to the good bit!" (which is the main tune u hear in the game)

right now im learning "those who fight - piano collections" which is even worse lol

[Pheyt14]

that happens to me all the time lol.

[pandaXpower]

hectobar; thats because this is the version off Besaid Island that's on the Piano Collections. There's also one on the OST which is off the actual game, and one in FFX-2 which is also different.

[theojhawk]

nevertheless, they are all fabulously composed pieces

[hectobar]

what a weird interpretation of besaid island. The one i play sounds nothing like this.

[hectobar]

but its still awesome

[lucido915]

this ones better

[minisparow]

nice :) I much prefer your version to the version which has the FFX logo on it :P

(sorry don't know what to call it) lol

[StephenGT]

This is a fantastic song. Excellent Work! Where can I find the sheet music for this version of Besaid Island???

[domcurr]

Wow, this is really beautiful man,

Good Work!

[kairistwin]

I have to learn this!!!

It's beautiful... and very well played!

;)

[FifthDynasty]

Sounds just like the album version. Very nice!

On a side note, anybody else ever realized that the piano version sounds nothing like the original Besaid Island track from the game itself? I like this one much better.

[badra2005]

thts wat i said...it dsnt sound nothin like the game version at all.....i actually like the game version better

[BartenderMix]

i had sheet music and it sounded like the game version, this version doesn't sound like it at all

[remx123]

Good job!

[spoonermcgee]

This is just too beautiful.Its beyond words.

[XLinkymX619]

omg.... memoriesssssssss..........

[ultimatepieofdoom]

Damn, I wish I could play the piano...

This is beautiful!

[sliceofstar]

Luls I was thinking the exact same thing as djun20... HAWTNESS

You're awesome at playing this, AMAZING D>>

[Squirllyfitz]

The best I've heard. Sodaorat, I must request that you re-record this, your mid level sound is distorted and I've tried headphones, and even youtubeing this on a new surround sound system. I takes away from your performance. Please send me a link when you do. I'm no critic, just a fan.

[ahxczy]

Very impressive!

[vikingninja72]

nailed it...

[alizabetho]

very good man !

[cekcekpurpur]

beautiful...

[spoonermcgee]

Absolutely beautiful =D

[torana4lyf]

hey man no one can do this song better than you

its sounds so good ;)

[PianistSinner]

Wery well done, little better than me, Your choise of tempo is better I think...

[yummy1115]

Wow!

[slabed90]

i like your videos soda, mass respect where its deserved

=)

[theswordsaint]

Wow played by a master i can tell! dexterity at the fingers and very well played! you never disappoint me man! played so well i must shake your hand! excellent! 5 Stars!

[cHiKaDiNg58]

Geezus... this is not different from the Besaid in FFX OST! It's still Besaid... but the FFX Piano Collection version. Try listening to the piano version, then tell me if it's different or if some notes were off. IMO every note was played perfectly by sorada!

[blackroach00]

wow,so beautiful

[LordVeldrin]

my ear.. my ear was never caressed this nicely before.. tnx..

[Icelate2134]

Woah, who cares if its played different, Its still awesome.

Expand and build on what life throws at you or life would be hella boring

[lovegames007]

well its a bit different from the OST but your a awesome piono player :D

[terezagreen]

Firstly, if this is suppose to be the same as the version from the piano collection, I think that it's played slightly different sometimes. But I suppose that that's your way of playing it, which everyone should accept (it's how you feel it should be played).

The tempo was usually the same as the original OST (though it slowed down in a few places, but it's just how you think it should be played), and some notes were slightly different/off.

But otherwise, a good version to listen to! ^^

[danceRomanesque]

I found a mistake, it kinda jerked me and the rest of the piece kinda fell apart in feeling after it. I don't know if you noticed as well.

Your dynamic transitions aren't too noticeable, especially in your runs.

Overall, i give it a 8.4/10

[Icelate2134]

Im not a very judgemental person but by the sounds of that comment you sound like someone who thinks they know it all and likes too pass judgement on all those around. . .and 8.4, .4....who are you kidding thinking your the man at piano. i give it a 12/10!!

[BleednDreamz]

ya... and I enjoy to write and I much rather have someone give me a sense of constructive criticism then kiss my ass and say I'm the best because yes there is a mistake in the piece it's minor but it may throw ppl off maybe if u knew what you were talking about you would not give it a 12/10

[musikplayer610]

it's called constructive critism. As a musician, you will have some flaws while playing a piece and danceRomanesque is trying to help the guy out by telling him what he heard. and you're just putting words in the guy's mouth by saying "thinking your the man at piano". give it a break; musicians thrive on constructive critism

[danceRomanesque]

What was the point of this post?

If you don't know anything about the piece or piano, you can only judge it in your little notion of what you THINK it should sound like. Therefore your judgement is not as beneficial as someone with actual knowledge. I don't think I'm the "man" at anything, but obviously you can tell me what I think right?

Grow up.

[oer6000]

great video

[javisco]

wow!

[josiphorus]

Just for FF fans, realy!

Great!

[longebane]

if only video quality was better, in proportion to your skill level

[spasman]

This is by far the best rendition on youtube, the rest are pretty good, but this is bloody perfect, not a single slip, on a very hard song. Well, not if youre grade 8 piano.

cheers.

[blamix]

Besaid doesnt sound like this..

[itzlan]

That's because this is the piano collection.

[animeluver29]

pure win. I still find it funny that it sounds almost nothing like the actual song lol.

[itzlan]

and if you listen to it closely and the ost's it's pretty similar in the middle.

[countumga]

I fell in love with this piece about two weeks ago. I can't get enough of it, and all the rest of the piano collection. It's awesome. :3

[animelovergurlopzv]

I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS THEME BEFORE! but i like it. :)

[Momilio7]

you rule !!!!

[krngirl64]

i hate playing the last page soo hard T_T

[Fido1877]

What a beautiful piece.

[CausticDuff]

you are a piano shredder. for sure.

[juliankyo]

No he is an all instrument shredder ;)

[Raichuuu]

So far,this is the best Besaid Island ever played that I've heard.I haven't detect any mistakes from yours!Good job!You play swiftly with your fingers from a note to another,keep it up :D!

[SannaS0L]

So beautifully played! Thank you for sharing=)

[DJMamu]

>_> I wish I could do this.

[lemke11]

Extremely well done! You are the best piano player of FF music I've ever heard.

[allsmiles432]

Can you please tell me what cords you are playing at 0:11 - 0:16 ?

I am learning this song too, and I think I am playing it wrong..

[reyke]

check it at the forums :)

[Korin145]

sheet music is your friend.

[NEDM77]

You always know when you click o sodarats' profile you're going to get perfect piano play. You seriously have to be one of the best non professionals on youtube.

[Squirllyfitz]

too beautiful for words

[Melzorx]

you're so talented! ^-^

[Chaosman12]

well just as i said,its very brilliant but...

i don't hear the song "besaid island" in it.

i have the mp3 of this song and it sounds extremely different.

[torrentgray]

well of course it doesnt sound alot like "besaid island" from the actual game. its not the sheet music from the ost, but from the "piano collections". and if you listen closely, you WILL hear besaid island. this piece is arranged for piano and has its own mp3 as well. go look for it

[cHiKaDiNg58]

This is my most favorite piece in Final Fantasy Collections! And then again... GAWD YOU'RE PHENOMENAL!!! I hope I can be as good as you! If you haven't made a video of Tidus' Theme could you please... please make one?? =D

[Chaosman12]

MARVELOUS!!!!!

very impressive.

[daffinc]

[daffinc]

[uzuki8106]

[reyke]

[Chronograph12]

this is one of the best versions on youtube. u did it perfectly! and I miss ff-x:D

[DontHoldYourChops]

a part sounded kinda muddy but i still like your version!

[KudoBrothers]

Someone PLEASE make a tutorial of how to play this awesome song!!!

[sinath]

this is like the best version ive heard on youtube!

[MoonliteMemory]

nice

so envious of you!

[plx7]

amazing!!

i wish i can play like u (so jealous!!!)

[Rokurosama]

everytime i hear this... i feel like i'm apart from all that is in this world...

[jianne88]

wow

[NemoKnowsBest]

Bravo, that was very good. Brings back those memories. I am learning to play this song, and Aerith's theme. I hope to have them up soon.

[ChristianFaithForAll]

amazing. too bad the music cost $

[papersheep2]

uh, it's free.

[FritosOrLays]

No, it's not. By music, he must mean sheet music. It's only free if you pirate it, but otherwise, the book costs money.

[papersheep2]

Okay, you do realize that 1. I posted this comment about 8 months ago, and I really don't want to get feedback from posts I don't even remember, and 2. this guy listens to music and dictates/translates them into notes. It's not the exact sheet music, it's an improvisation. No pirating involved.

For the sake of older posters, please reply to more recent comments...

[FritosOrLays]

@papersheep2 Yes, I know this two years ago, and yes, you probably don't care. But you're still writing misinformation which is now on a top rated comment. You said the sheet music is free. It isn't. This piece is from a book of FFX OST piano arrangements legally published in Japan. It isn't Sodaorat's improvisation, (even if he plays a little different) on the OST version of Besaid, it's Masashi Hamauzu's piano remix.

So yes, obtaining the sheet music from the internet would be pirating.

[papersheep2]

@FritosOrLays Two years, Person... Technically I believe taking Sodaorat's transcribed-by-ear version is not illegal to download if they claim it as fair use, it's vague like that. However the uploader does take the blame for sharing without permission unless he posts the legal information on his webpage like ichigos.com /legal does.

So yes, obtaining the *original* sheet music from the internet would be pirating, but transcribing has different rules for the uploader and downloaders.

[papersheep2]

@FritosOrLays Anyway, I can remove the comment if you want, but all you'd need to do is write something like "15 people couldn't beat Yu Yevon even with auto-life," and bam, 10+ likes.

[Appy95]

this is a bit improvised isn't? but what ever.... its still played nice^^

[9021josh]

you.........own........it.....­...bad......ass!

[tailgail]

is this your own arrangement?

[LOCCDOGYY]

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaang, you just got served!!! Check plz!!!

[DamnedSalvation]

=O You Know i could comment something really good about your playing but i guess you already know. Because Dude. You Are Awesome. You've inspired me heavily and needless to say you have many fans. Keep it going. <3

[bezz2008]

pianodervish, i like to see u do a video this good

[NGA77]

120% man!!! You had me crying thanks. I love FFX... ;(

[cvgungon]

Man that was awesome. I like FF piano collections, used to bug my friend who can play the piano to play the pieces for me, hehehe!

[Mattfunnier]

=')

[Saruqueen]

thank you so much you are the best. =D

[mrdrummer101]

I really really like you.

[nubbio]

just like the sex....

THE BEST!!

[lotrarwen0]

=D! I can't think of anything to say! All I really want to say is that smiley cause that describes it all! You are so good! You make me want to get off my fat booty and actually play the keyboard I got for Christmas! Bah, stuff it. I wanna finish reading fruits basket.

[mattic2003]

you are too much, ive just started teachin myself, and watching you gives me the motivation to continue, dont mean to sound like a groupie lol, but seriously man lol...lost for words

[K0HIJIN]

good music like this can let your mind wander and let you visualize an image in your mind

of the scenery, just as the composer wanted it to be interpreted...

you know how when you read a book, you can visualize the setting and characters? Well I see music as the same way

ESPECIALLY this song

this is hands down my top 10 most favorite piano piece, if not my #1 most favorite.

Words cannot describe this song properly, only thoughts.

Well thats what I think

[rachelandthecupcakec]

Fantastic job!!

[vietxazngirl]

Nice I love the music

[Vexdefile]

Woah.

The piano version of this song is just beautiful.

o_o

[DeRicci]

wow!

[grecia2006]

Good response dayincorperated!that was funny!

[Narutoki]

You ABSOLUTELY need to make a video tutorial on how to do this song. it is ASTOUNDING!!!

[ManOfBarf]

SHUT UP PIANODERVISH, its beautiful.

its not about what people miss out, its about their musician ship and showing their rare tallents.

having said that, i thought the piece was beautiful. 11/10

[pianodervish]

im a harsh critic (esp. cause I play piano). Youre missing lots of notes (like the A and the F# in the first part). Otherwise not bad

[mykool2k7]

who cares

[iG0HARDnukkah]

right? who does care. lol effing crtics can suck a nut.

[mykool2k7]

YHHH

[razelinator]

idk if you're a girl or guy but i have a huge crush on you right now lol. i love great piano players. :D

[NarutoShippudenFC]

AAAAAAHHHHHH.......This song makes me fell so relax i just want to sleep~~~~~~|D

[Ra3D]

STUFF SLEEPING! lets go explore besaid! : D

sheet music please!!! i wana be able to go to besaid island whenever i hit the piano O_=

thx for taking us along!

[killall159]

the piano version doesn't sound like the real version

[kerricarri]

yeah, I was a little put out, too, but it's just easier to accept the FFX Piano Collections version as its entirely own rendition and keep it separate from the game's piano Besaid

[kerricarri]

=__= of course, being the hasty idiot I am, I forgot this was the SODA version. yarg...still a fantastic rendition, though

[tommyk77]

I prefer this rendition. It definitely suits a piano better. fantastic piece

[prevbean]

good stuff thank you
