Didn't recognise this song by the title, so your cover of it brought back happy memories of one of the best songs in the game. Truly amazing performance!
I've had this on repeat for 3 days now. It's an absolutely beautiful rendition of the song. I know nothing about the game, but this has almost convinced me to try it
omg thank you so much for listening!!!! that means a lot!!! ❤❤❤ The game itself isn't one of my top tier Final Fantasy titles but definitely was the most fun combat system in recent memory, I was obsessed haha. Currently on sale for 30% off if you wanted to give it a go!
I'll have to wait for PC 😅 But thank you for all the covers that you make! I've listened to almost all your FE & FF Covers on repeat and they really are the best.
I love this song, but I am not sure that epic is the right word. The song is very somber, like the forest is trying to remain as it is despite the affairs going on the world. It mirrors Clive’s desire to remain strong and focused on his goal of avenging his brother, in spite of the obstacles in his way. It carries the bitter undertone that without this drive, that Clive doesn’t know what his purpose is. Sorry for the long comment, great work Schala.
“Another one” With how much content from XVI you’ve given us, you’re probably listening to the soundtrack as much as I am 😂 Well actually I’m sure the majority of us are listening to it quite a bit. Great arrangement as always!
I haven't played the game yet and only listened to a little bit of the ost but i remember this one! I love how it calls back to FFXIV forest music.....anything by Soken makes me melt even though i havent played either game! This is beautiful!!
awww thanks girl!!! 😭😭😭 Always means so much coming from you!!! ❤️❤️❤️ can def wait on XVI, I have uh....complicated feelings about that game lmao so def at this point wait for a sale....a deep sale ahahaha....come to think of it right now it even might be 30% off in some places actually
Spectacular! You know it's funny how I can enjoy what you do and on the flip side of that same coin be right at home at a Five Finger Death Punch show my mom calls that Collectic, mÿ wife calls it crazy 🤪. She says that is why I understand the story behind the Wall by Pink Floyd. Maybe I'm a tad touched, I don't know, but I do know I very much enjoy your work..
HAHAHAHAHA thank you so much Thomas!!!!! and I'll have you know I very much enjoy your comments every time and appreciate your taking the time to listen, despite not knowing these modern games ❤❤❤ The Wall is a classic lol!! though I usually reach for Dark Side of the Moon or Animals if I'm feeling in the mood for Floyd or heck even Momentary Lapse of Reason though some may call me a heretic for it lol, still just love them all!! One day gonna have to do a cover of Comfortably Numb just for you, out of appreciation =D
A purpleschala upload on Monday to start the week. Thank you for this cover. Also more Castlevania in the future? Sounds exciting. I never played the game but your covers on them make great music.
thank you so much!!!!!! Yes I will be very curious if and when they do, and who will be doing the arrangements!!!! I'm guessing it'll be Keiko, since she does a lot with Soken and XIV
thanks so much Shea!!!! and yeah school started for my kids last week, def been a hectic time hahaha!! lol no rush on the game at all....pacing issues became apparent around the halfway point lol
A sublime arrangement! The first part is beautiful in its simplicity, but I must admit to loving the dramatics of the second part 🤣 The part starting 04:28 in particular is gold!
ahh thank you so much!!!!! YES it's rather unusual for a forest theme, right? Feels like it should be in a cutscene instead haha, though the other versions of this theme do play during certain cutscenes so I guess Soken was thinking the same thing lol
Gosh you really did this justice! I'm always so hype to listen to your arrangements. Sometimes when I'm dragging myself to work I put on your "Trisection" from FFT to make my feet move faster, haha.
Oh Heck yeah - this theme has you written all over it! This is so well done! Soken is so good at like throwing the main melody of the game in to other more subtle tracks like the part around 0:56 . He does this with every FF14 expansion in so many awesome ways. I love his musical style so much, and your rendition of this theme is perfect
Oh!! This is one of my FFXVI favorites, and what an epic arrangement, this scratches such an itch for me haha! The segment starting from 2:05 is SO good! Will you transcribe this one as well? I've been listening to your cover of My Star so much too, absolutely amazing arrangements ❤
AHHHHH CALIKO!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ that means so much coming from you omg thanks so much girl!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and yes for sure sheets for this one are coming, I just gotta find the time to actually sit down and do them properly sob but they are def happening!!!!!! hope you have been well!!!!!
Wow this is such a beautiful piece and you did it wonderfully! LOVE it ❤The beginning always makes me feel like it could belong in To The Moon. Thank you for the lovely performance 🙏
OMG THANK *YOU* SO MUCH FOR LISTENING FERDK!!!! ❤❤❤ and the kind words, I'm so happy you liked it!!!!!! 😭😭😭 That's very interesting you mentioned similarities to To The Moon OST, I never thought of that but you're absolutely right!!!!
Came for the Castlevania and stayed for the excellent quality covers. I'm really looking forward to what other Castlevania songs you end up doing. Divine Bloodlines may be a good one for the new Castlevania series. It was featured in one of the trailers after all! Or Iron Blue Intention.
thank you so much!!!!! hahaha funny you mentioned it, when the Nocturne trailer dropped two weeks ago I IMMEDIATELY dropped almost everything to work on Divine Bloodlines lol, was so hyped to hear it in there!
Such a great arrangement!! Thank you for sharing. Any chance for getting the sheet music for it? I just finished learning your arrangement of My Star and would love to learn this🙂
Great arrangement and performance and one of my favorite pieces from the soundtrack! Are the sheets for this available for purchase on musescore? Just curious as I think I can actually play this one haha.
Beautiful. The first 30% of the game was my favorite too. When I entered this area, and especially when the combat version of this theme started, I thought FFXVI was going to turn out to be a top 3 in the series. Unfortunately it didn't turn out that way, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.
Thank you so much! and yes, I felt similarly. The first 30% was phenomenal. The rest of it, I have complicated feelings about lol, but the things that were good, were extremely good.
Man. That 1:20 point gets me every time. Such a beautiful song.
good lord… listening to this gives me the same sense of wonderment I experienced when I first did that part of the game
ahhh that means so much!!! thank you!!!! ❤❤❤
Didn't recognise this song by the title, so your cover of it brought back happy memories of one of the best songs in the game. Truly amazing performance!

Truly the most epic of forests.

@@ZonaiHero-ul5nmI wouldn’t call the forest epic either lol but the song is definitely beautiful if not epic
Very beautiful piano work on that XVI track
thanks!
It's a sad tune. It looks back, but it moves forward. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much!!! Yes, that’s a very insightful description of it, much like the game’s story!
“Another one”
With how much content from XVI you’ve given us, you’re probably listening to the soundtrack as much as I am 😂 Well actually I’m sure the majority of us are listening to it quite a bit.
Great arrangement as always!
ahahaha !!! thank you so much!!!! =)
I audibly gasped when I saw this, and went :O from 1:50-2:30
Love your playing and I love this song too!
I haven't played the game yet and only listened to a little bit of the ost but i remember this one! I love how it calls back to FFXIV forest music.....anything by Soken makes me melt even though i havent played either game! This is beautiful!!

Absolutely beautiful. I really need to sit down and play through this game...
Lol all in good time!!! i mean I just finished a game I had on the back burner for more than a year lmaooo

thank you so much!!!!!! Yes I will be very curious if and when they do, and who will be doing the arrangements!!!! I'm guessing it'll be Keiko, since she does a lot with Soken and XIV
Fantastic performance! I still need to find time to finish the game. The last weeks of summer with kids are sure something! Soon!
thanks so much Shea!!!! and yeah school started for my kids last week, def been a hectic time hahaha!! lol no rush on the game at all....pacing issues became apparent around the halfway point lol
I love this so much. Sense of wonder and emotions combined!

Moises that means so much!!!! ❤❤❤ thank you, I'm so glad you liked it!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

This was my favorite area theme in the game 🥹 you played it beautifully!
ahhh thank you so much Momoru!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️ nice to see you here!!!
Sublime as always. This is one of my favorite track in FF16, the way it crescendo into something very emotional gets me every time.
that section is really quite nice, isn't it? It's unusual for a forest theme but it's such a good climactic moment!!!! and thank you!! =)

AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA OMG thank you so much!!!!! lol
Incredible arrangement (as always)!
thank you so much!!!!!
It's so warm and bittersweet
yes, quite unusual for a forest theme to have this much going on lol!!
Oh Heck yeah - this theme has you written all over it! This is so well done! Soken is so good at like throwing the main melody of the game in to other more subtle tracks like the part around 0:56 . He does this with every FF14 expansion in so many awesome ways. I love his musical style so much, and your rendition of this theme is perfect
haha thank you so much Garrett!!! yes you know me too well lol, I love forest themes and this one is a very Xenobladey track lol ❤️
Damn, this is just so good. What a wonderful track!
