  • 1:32 - 1:44 HARDEST PART. Left hand is a pain in the ass. had to alternate it :(

  • Comment removed

  • 11 people took arrows to the knee.

  • glad this song lured you back into piano. you do this song beautifully.

    do you take requests? i'd love to hear the entire opening of ff3(6). so epic. i bet you'd do a great job. :)

  • left hand of this is a biatch to play

  • and its an ACTUAL PIANO!

  • Amazing song. How long have you been playing for?

  • You are so f---ing money. Never stop playing piano again

  • perfekt!! klasse gespielt, schöne musik, einfach perfekt XD

    PS: FF 4-ever XD

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!! and btw i love ur piano

  • I think this is the best interpretation, better than the original recording

  • can't blame ya... this song is fucking awesome!

  • Masterpiece!

  • Your playing of this piece of music has heart, it was a great moment listening to it.

  • Thank you, I really enjoyd this

  • how in the hell did this get any dislikes? it's beyond me

  • I have to say, this is one of the better uses for a piano i've seen.

  • Final Fantasy made me come back to the piano, too. For me, the music of FF IX was a great inspiration to keep on practicing on this instrument.

  • your history is fascinating

  • That's frigging AWESOME! On top of being a 10 year break. You should play more :P

  • best version compare with others!!!

  • c'est beau... mais un peu trop de pédale dans le jeu, ça sonne un peu flou à certaines places (surtout au début) peut-être aurais-tu pu mettre la petite queue au lieu de la grosse? Sinon c'est magnifique! bravo :)

  • Where can I find sheet music of this song? I have the piano collections book but it seems to be a different version.

  • 5******!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great job man... for the record I love this song so much. The entire soundtrack to the game is fantastic, You should check them out if you like this song so much. Id recommend Celes song, it has a similar feel to it and may inspire you the same way this one did.

  • I love this song, i started playing piano just beacouse of this song and when i found out i couldnt read notes i startet lessons at 2000NOK per year! no i got a free piano from a guy i dont know who is! the piano was from 1925 so when im 18 the auction trader said he would buy it for 240.000 so thats my ford mustang, im now 14 and learning the song:)

  • haha that's funny I also started playing piano because of this song! It was the first song I ever learned, and a damn hard one to begin with, must of been about 8 years ago...

  • Sick.. totally amazing! The most beautiful piece today. Thx :)

  • Truely a beautiful piece. Brilliant job after 10 years away from the piano.

  • Wow. That is awesome. I don't expect such a nice version after a 10 year break. Heck I lose most of my finger coordination over the course of 3 weeks.

  • ha, over a year since i saw this vid and danm it still sounds awsome

  • GREAT! Some day I' ll learn this, too.

  • Such a simple tune really (I can only play the main bit) and yet still SO powerful!

  • "This song is the main reason I started playing the piano again. After hearing this piece for the first time inspired me to play again after a 10 year break."

    Just awesome! Absolutely the same is for me and Those Who Fight.

  • 1:33, 1:37, and 1:40 you cut off those chords a little too much when you lifted your foot off the pedal.

    The whole thing was a bit too fast, too.

    This is all constructive criticism, though; don't take it the wrong way.

  • haha true, too much pedal at the beginning

  • F-ING AMAZING! This has got to be one of my favorite songs from Final Fantasy. I mean, c'mon, it's the best!

  • you don't look very old and with that skill after 10 years, were you some sort of prodigy?

  • very well done

  • It's probably because I'm not trained as a pianist, but I couldn't hear the flaws. I mean, great performance dude!

  • Nice sound from that piano!

    What model is it?

  • very well done. Bravo.

  • wow ur piano is sexy lool

  • agreed.

  • Just once, I want to see someone actually use the left hand part from the game. You know, the one that's obviously a drum part but not on a drum, from the SNES?

  • Impresionante, muchas gracias

  • if i had that piano i would tune it :)

  • UGH!!! Those first few chords are painful!!

    A good overall performance...but should be arrested for piano neglect :(

  • The piano hiatus certainly shows, but it is a great performance. My only complaint would be that the B section is a little overpowered even for what is a 'louder' section by less important notes...could not hear the melody coming through.

    I think the tempo is fine, though. The rubato is really what takes it to the next level from the relatively precise timing from the game.

  • What was it like coming back to piano after 10 years?

  • good job man! the improv really brings out the emotion!

  • yes i think your piano needs a little tunning :P

    But good job ! Keep up the good work

  • Your tempo is a bit weird. And there's a note missing at 1:58 there isn't?

  • the little lack of right tempo gives it more emotion i think... no matter if i wanted do it or if he just did wrong

  • I love this song and your arrangement at the beginning gives it a little extra charm. Great job!

    (and is it just my ears or is that piano a bit out of tune?)

  • hey mate, same story here, i haven't touched the piano for like 12 years, but after hearing this song i started to practice again just so i could play this. this song really has some special meaning for me.

  • ff3 forever and i aspire towards your piano playing style.

  • lol ff3 and ff6?

  • was release in america as FF III

  • so lovely, thank you for sharing this.

    rebecca

  • amazing job...so crisp XD

    gorgeous song--final fantasy 3/6 really is a great game

    -LokiHeart

  • excellent.

  • nice grand piano man... :)

  • perfect in every way :D

  • Lousy perfectionists. Of course you can never meet your high expectations from featuring a song which you can listen to in its original form every day.

  • dude that was friggen awesome, i like the improvisations sounds great

  • jeez give the guy a break. even if you could do better, what reason is there to be a dick? did the description say this? me playing some ff music, please give me an analysis of my imperfections

  • then again the theme was never warming to begin with.

  • Actually it is, just pay attention to the phrasing.

  • So true. I always picture the beginning of the game with the snow and all when listening. Lifeless though? That's crazy talk!

  • that explains its meaning perfectly actually

  • what you talking about reverb! its called SUSTAIN (Pedal) don't criticise if you don't even have a clue about the piano

  • Reverb and the SUSTAIN (Pedal) are two different things. Reverb has to do with acoustics. I'm a music major and I understand the orchestra and the piano very well.

  • Humm ...

    nice playing but you can't control the pedal well ...

    and are you playing this by ear ?

    1:57 is completely wrong

    it's either that your piano is out of tune or you're using wrong notes.

  • 1:57 isn't completely wrong, he missed one note at 1:57 it goes b flat,c,d,e flat,f,g,a. he missed a. that makes it completely wrong huh? yes, the piano is out of tune, if you can't tell the difference if he's playing wrong notes or if it's out of tune, maybe you shouldn't comment, because your judgement means absolutely nothing. if you're going to comment to criticize at least know what your talking about.

  • dude ... what was "completely" wrong is the section that starts after that

    so to be 99.9% accurate, 1:58

  • or to make it clearer

    the start of section C if you have the sheet music.

  • Yes, I have the sheet music and watched the video again. I'm very famaliar with this song. Please tell me master piano player what's wrong with it?

  • look ... why are you acting like i offended someone here ?

    listen to the start of section C

    do you really think that first chord is ok ?

    since i don't have perect pitch, i checked it with my keyboard and i found out that he didn't play the higher Bb in that chord

    listen and check again

  • and removing the highest note from a chord is different from removing the lowest or the middle note.

    the melody goes with the highest note in chords

  • You're right I checked it out too. You got me. Still though I don't think it makes it "completely wrong". A lot people remove notes because of limited hand size. I take my comment back you know what you're talking about.

  • Don't worry about it

    perhaps "Completely wrong" is a bit too much.

  • Best internet argument I've ever seen, congratulation to both of you, you concluded this pretty nicely.

    And I'm not being sarcastic.

  • Yeah I agree.. :D

  • you can really play, how long has it taken you to lurn?

  • thats mad nice yo where u get sheet music for that song?

  • bit fast there, but it's cool just slow down a bit and it'll be perfect!

  • Hey, I've just posted a version of mine of Mystic Forest & Tina played during a concert I organized.

    Unforunately, I don't have all the videos yet, but Star Wars Main Theme, Flag Parade, Duel of Fates and Imperial March for 3 violines are coming.

    Because I can't post an URL, here what you have to type to find my video (first result) :

    final fantasy tina piano concert

    Please rate and comment ^^

  • how do you know when to do the piano pedal during a song?

  • When it starts to sound a little too slurred.

  • its not too bad.. o.o

    especially for someone after taking a 10 yr break - good job!

  • wow a-some job but maybe you should put piano collection on top so we all know :).

  • tears...that was beautiful

  • That was amazing!

  • dude why did you play with indefinite sustain?

  • dude don't act like you know what your talking about. where's your video at? or better yet what do you know about playing the piano?

  • Well true I don't have any piano videos up but i just meant that the pedal timing was a little off. I've played for a few years man.

  • The song is sort of meant to be played with indefinite sustain...

  • Only the original, not the piano collections.

  • Since when do have to have a video to be knowledgeable on a topic

  • would you like me to record one...? -_- Just because I don't have a video on youtube proving that I can play a song doesn't mean I can't. Not to mention the fact that it doesn't take someone who can PLAY a song to know what it's supposed to sound like - all you need for that is a pair of ears, bud...

  • sorry, I was replying to cesemelo for the second comment

  • you're right

    I can play more songs other than Zanarkand

    but i just don't feel like uploading them

    i might upload this one though

    and it's true that you don't need to play a song to judge how good someone else played it.

  • Great job, you have really caught the emotion of this song. Keep it up :) Can't wait for any future videos!

  • Beautiful played.You got a true feeling for music.

  • Wonderful playing, but I think you should've changed your pedal timing a bit. Unfortunately I won't be able to post an example of what I mean until thanksgiving-time :(

  • bravo!

  • dam this GOOD!! your views should be up to 100,000! omg love the game and love the music! you just made my day!

  • oh wow, I, I just don't know what to say, this is beautiful beyond belief!

  • I'm speechless.

  • absolutely fantastic (:

  • man this is very nice u hav a great talant

  • wow, i lsten to this 4 times alredy

  • You made me cry, I swear...

    B-E-AUTIFUL PLAYING!!! *0*

    Wish I could give you 10 stars instead of only 5, it goes straight to my faves!!!

    Keep up the good work, you have an amazing "Feeling" while playing the piano, not only the right notes...you put feelings while you play, and that makes it so awesome...

    Thanks for this delightful experience for my ears :D

  • collieollie, I don't know if you will even see this. Practice by breaking it down into sections. Repeat a section until you(essentially) memorize it. Then move onto the next one and add the last one. Repeat until finished. There! You memorized the music, and you can now focus on technique.

  • woah, thats EXACTLY what i do, didnt even realize till now, thanks

    bloody awesome playing though

  • I'm just wondering.. what would be a good song to play... with the basic parts for both hands. I'm not sure because I'm teaching myself.. and It's kind of difficult. If you could help me, it would be greatly appreciated. Oh and Btw... You're playing is amazing. I wish I could play like you.... Well at least I'm trying instead of complaining that I want to play so badly. lol Bye ~.* P.S. Keep up the great work. :D

  • very nice but piano needs to be tuned

  • thats awesome

  • you make me feel like i want to die..^^..god you're so good..

  • im not one to comment on any video i watch... but this one is so dam awesome. good job man. keep up the fantastic work. This song is just too beautiful for its own good!

  • Another beautiful version of this song. Your playing is amazing!!

  • wow..ahh!

  • great

  • yeah =p

  • Wow, made me love this song all over again =)

    Thanks!

  • hi.

    beautiful pianoforte.:-)

    isnt too much the pedal sometimes? but still great for the right -not too fast, not too slow- tempo.;-)

  • you're really great ! and I fing the sound is great its sounds well !

  • nice piano :)

  • I wana play FF6 now. I wish I could play piano.

  • It is never too late to begin!

  • I felt the overall mood of the song was lost. The song needs lonliness, depression, persistence.. it needs to be aligned through the desperation of the player's reluctance to keep pounding out the song and it should have an undertone like the person playing it has magical powers but isn't interested in revealing them or drawing attention to himself.

  • I agree with seeaeytch.

  • Thats amazing

  • Cool beans.

  • Simple but beautiful.

  • i've been playing that song (well enough in my opinion) for 9 years, and you do it as well as i've ever seen, heard , or played. you have done all enthusiasts of mr uematsu's work justice with this one. try a piece called cape of storms by hyde, i think you'll succeed at it and enjoy it as well.

  • This lick is in a song called "A Coniferous War" by With Passion. Great Song

  • THAT SHIT IS METAL!!!!!!!!!!!

    which in my book is a really great thing man

    keep up the good work

  • very beautiful, well done

  • Didn't know Terra's Theme could sound so complete without the drums.

    You're just awesome!

  • You are amazing.

  • wow nicely done loved it...

  • that was amazing!

  • I just learned to play that but a lot crappier than that, im just a noob, but this video realy inspires me to keep on, excellent work : D

  • Merci, pour cette mélodie!!

  • Wow!!!

  • ...

    BEAUTIFUL
