New World / Yakusoku no Basho / 約束の場所 (Final Fantasy XIII-2) - Original Piano Arrangement

Score available on my website: http://www.audiomuse.ca

Hello all. Thanks for waiting and sorry for not having posted for so long. I've been sooo swamped lately with school/work/life. A lot of changes are coming soon, so this will be my last video until the new year.

This is the main theme from Final Fantasy XIII-2, sung by Mai Fukui, written by Koichi Tabo, of Superfly.

There were some things I didn't like about the original song so I have made some minor modifications to make it stand better as a solo piece. For instance, I took out one of the repetitions in the final chorus, and also shortened the outro and included my personal coda. The chords in Yakusoku no Basho are less sophisticated than those in Kimi ga Iru Kara, but it is quite an emotional song overall. My reason for writing an alternative ending, was because the original ending sounded inconclusive, as it ends on an imperfect cadence. I don't know the story of Final Fantasy 13 extremely well, but as it is a sequel, I would imagine the story comes to a close. So I thought a traditional perfect cadence ending on the tonic (with signature added second) would work better.

Can i use your piano version as the background music for my cover please? ;D

[zeryx28]

@Stardust96x Sure. Although, it is recommended that you use the original backtrack that does not have the vocal line in the music, which you can purchase from itunes. What you hear in this video is an arrangement of the original for solo piano, so it isn't very suited for which to sing to. Please PM me your e-mail so I can send you the MP3 file. Thanks.

@nhy123123 Okay, no offense, but I'm going to remove your comment for the spoiler? ...
