You sir, are a God!! i listen to all ure tabs because im uber Legend of Zelda fan!!! also im amazed at how you tackled the final fantasy music, cus its composed with like 5 different instruments in each song 8 {D
At the risk of getting my head bitten off, I do believe this is one of the best covers around the net these days. The guitar follows the natural flow of the western feeling that Shadow's theme has, the bass is soft on the pace and the flute captures the very essence of being that Shadow possesses: A man whom above all else is a Lone-wolf. Think of a Shadow moment, and imagine him walking towards the sun at sun-set. That's my scene at least.
You can find Shadow in two ways. I don't think you even have to wait for him. If you do you'll find him in a Cave, if you don't I think you can run into him at a coliseum.
He only dies if you choose not to wait for him when the floating continent collapses.
I don't think he dies in the end. I think he sends Interceptor to stay with his little sister, and decided to start a new life far removed from the sins of his past.
just wanted to let u know i love your recorder work this and cyan's theam are both fantastic, its rly to bad ur leaveing us. Just come back alive and make some more music, people around the globe will all rejoice
I heard your versions of Zelda themes, then Tetris, then Dr Mario and I came up to here, from all the one I've heard this I think is the most fantastic, but I haven't even heard half of them. Just needed to make a stop and let you know how great I think you play
Yo! Nice video, if you're like me and think that Final Fantasy VI offers little challenge in terms of how hard the boss is then you might like some of my FF6 rom hacks, check out my profile them.
shadow's theme has a very strong western feel to it, always as :3 never knew why, lol, but it works for him i guess... this guy brought it out perfectly ^_^
I loved that you're playing the recorder =D I play recorder...Alto and Soprano are the only ones I have though...Awesome job!! You're Gerudo Valley is freakin AMAZING
Personal Od1n89 "Shadows Theme" is one of my favorites, that may because I enjoyed playing Final Fantasy VI a lot. It maybe just because I love ninjas, though it might be that it is all of my friends are also FF VI fans and they love Shadows Theme. All 13 of them, so is it so unpopular?
FFVI is so not unknown. Well kinda. People know it just have not played it. Happens with most legendary games. Unlike others, thought, I actually track these games. I bought secret of mana for $100.
Oh. Thats right. Most people did not get into it as much as I did. Maybe only 50% of the players. Shadow was really cool thought. I really think they should remake this in high def. Maybe (aaarghhh!) even on the ps3. I prefer the wii thought.
Dude you are too talented! It's sickening! You put so much soul into this songs, Nobuo Uematsu probably wished this was the sound file he could've put in FF6!
Amazing! Now if you'll excuse me I am going to watch more of your vids. Cheers!!
I agree with Bavarianmotorwerks. Without the jaw harp it just isn't shadow's theme. I love that bouncy almost Australian sounding twang it has. For some reason that instrument is very popular in Japanese cartoons and games. I hear it a lot in dragon ball. Oh well, this is still a great song! I DO love the way you play it, so don't get me wrong. You are still the king of youtube musicians in my book, and one of my all time favorite subscriptions!
I tried playing a jaw harp once, and even though I knew I was playing it right, it didn't seem to give the sound I wanted. Could have been a crappy jawharp. But I can hear where the guitar is playing that part.
I don't disagree, just providing a possible reason.
Same here I have Been Wondering around and some how was watching Chrono Vids To remind me of good times. And saw this Ist just amazing ^^ I really Do love it

You have to wait for him @ the floating continent (5 seconds remain when he shows up, always) in order to get him @ the Coliseum in the WOR.

He was referring to this track, specifically. Since Shadow is an optional character at first, I'm sure he's often overlooked.
