Yuna's Ballad (Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection)

This is „Yuna's Ballad" from the Final Fantasy X-2 Piano Collection. Game by Square Enix, music composed by Takahito Eguchi and Noriko Matsueda, arranged for piano by Hiroko Kokubu. This is a very sad and melancholy piece.

A few people have been asking me, so I've made a Facebook page and a Twitter account. I'm completely new to both and not too active on either at the moment but plan to use them more frequently eventually, so feel free to check them out if you are interested:

It's been a while since I've posted anything, so let me give you an update. I have found a couple of people who are willing to work with me, they luckily are experts and one of them seems to have a good understanding of what's going on with my fingers, and he thinks that there is a chance for a partial recovery. Unfortunately, he said that it could take a very long time, but he also said there is a decent chance for some first progress in less than a year. I'll have to take his word on it and just go through that process. For the moment, I am basically prohibited from playing or recording anything that is a possible strain on the hands, so I will be limited to very easy and simple pieces. It's not as if I could play anything else at the moment, anyway. I also still have a bunch of videos I didn't upload yet, this is one of them. More to come, there will also be more Final Fantasy pieces.

Another thing, so you aren't surprised when you see it. I'll delete a couple of my videos shortly - one of the Scott Joplin videos, the Fabio Frizzi duet as well the Eneomao's Machine Tower duet. Latter will still be available on Mark Andrew's channel, and the Frizzi piece will still be on Frank Rideau's channel as well. Also, I'll private some of the sheet music updates. You can still watch the sheet videos for Moon Song and Shop Music on 3llianX's channel, the CoT video will stay.

Thanks for watching and see you around.

oh man, so beautiful - my heart literally melted away during that performance! oh, and the piece isn't THAT easy - no need to undersell the skills! man, so glad to hear that there is light at the end of the tunnel! we'll all see and hear you at the other end yet! wishing you all the best buddy!

p.s - was it just me or is the sound quality in this vid just amazing!?

[Verdegrand]

@daigoro789 thanks man. yeah that way seems to be a good one that i have to try, let's see. the sound quality should be the same as with the earlier videos. hm, i have no idea why it would be better, since this isn't HD.

[funnyfacerful]

this is so so beautifully done. i keep coming back to it. again and again. thank you for sharing it ! and please do not stop sharing!

[Verdegrand]

@funnyfacerful thanks, i appreciate it. i'll do my best to keep posting although that might be a bit tough in the coming months, let's see. but i still have a bunch of videos that i haven't uploaded yet, so there is at least some stuff yet to come :)

[disneydra]

[Verdegrand]

Oh my god, this brought tears to my eyes. What I would give to watch you play this live. A lot of people hate this game, but it is, and will always be, my favorite.

[Tropictyce]

@KingOfNoodles19 its different from the version heard in the game, this is the piano collections version :D i don tknow if you meant different from the piano collections version, but its the same.

[KingOfNoodles19]

Is this the original version or is it an improvisation by you? The start sounds like very familiar but afterwards it feels a little different. Nevertheless its epic :)

Another 1 of my favorites. Your delicate touch on the keys really brings out the awesome of this piece. A mixture of slow delicate playing & fast runs....but ALWAYS control of the piece. Verdegrand....I give this performance a 20 out of 10. :) The only piece I enjoy more is Silence Before The Storm, & you know why I do. Many greetings & thanks so much for this upload. :) This video is truly phenomenal and is now my 2nd most favorite of all time. :) Now you dominate my first 2 most favorites. :)

This is a very sad touching song it makes me thin about all the people i lost and wh i could have saved,,, makes me want to get stronger...

[Xacrex1]

what's so epic about this? it just made me cry so much

[accountfor1reason]

Yes! Score!

[daigoro789]

@Verdegrand no probs man! btw, am thinking that the sound Q thing may be down to my listening through a new set of 'inner ear' headphones as oppose to my cheapo ones in the past :P oh, and great to hear you playing some FFX-2PC - if i remember correctly, it was this album that really brought you into VGPmusic in the first place - so yeah, nice to hear you bringing it back to where it all started for you :P
