I'm seriously impressed by this.
Thank you! I've been watching your videos for a while, so it was great to see a familiar name in the comment section!
Well isnt this a pleasant comment to see
The best thing about these videos is that they're not remixes done in a different style - he is accurately playing the game music, with appropriate instruments, without trying to add personal flourishes that make it NOT sound like the game. It kinda disappoints me that most of the orchestral releases of video game music have to rewrite the music.
no piece of changed music can be as good as a music remembered by a nostalgic brain, connected with positive emotions.
I think what's also great is that the recordings are "dry" and the phrasing has been NAILED. It's one of the things that makes "carbon copies" of video game music so tough to pull off even if they're lifted directly from the source. Stand out is the bass and when the violins play in unison.
my thoughts exactly. the ff7 remake soundtrack is somewhat disappointing, particularly the boss battle theme.
No, the worst part ia that too many people make generic boring metal covers of songs that were not composed as such. Even nobuo's metal band only covered certain songs and most of it is fan service for insecure teens
@ cowclops whats embarrassing is seeing on TH-cam whats supposedly official music from Squaresoft covered by professionalorchestration company that does the original song and sound more like improvisation or a cover. Sure, be creative but dont ruin the song. ...and what do they do? They add notes that arent there. Its like bruh...its not a cover at that point. Its a whole nother song that you try to pretend like it sounds the same. And their cover is either too damn slow and the whole band sound out of synchronous with one another. And they try to cover up the disconnect by adding filler notes. Its like hearing a train wreck...but in SLOW motion. Doesnt even sound great or even GOOD. Just barely passable as possibly something you recognize from hearing someone sing "Happy birthday" but totally off tune and nobody sings the same melody or words at the same time. Just does the fans of the franchise a disservice.
One memory comes to my mind. Drinking that clean water and healing up my party in that beautiful lake in the middle of that phantom forest . Again the music just touches the heart and soul. Thank you !!!!!!’
I don't comment ever but I'll be damned if a one man band doesn't get a thank you from me. Keep it up
Excellent! I also stood still in FF6 during this part because I didn't like the combat music interrupting the Phantom Forest music.
A lot of my play time in VI was/ is listening to the music.
Yes! When I replayed I would always leave it running when I first got to the phantom forest and I’d crank it up and clean. The time before TH-cam when we could listen to music as we pleased! It’s so much easier now!
You should play brave new world mod then!
Dude exactly. Best track in the game.
Seriously the best rendition of this song I've ever heard.
I'm *shocked* you haven't blown up already. This is such a valuable thing you're doing by archiving this brilliant music with incredible audio quality and more incredible instrument selection. I've heard orchestrated versions of many of your selections but none come close to preserving the integrity of the tracks like your arrangements do. I'm really pleased to have found your channel and even more pleased I can pledge to your patreon to support you do this incredible work!
He's not arranging them, which is why the integrity is there. He's simply performing them as originally written, with real instruments. This is something not usually done, and it is so startlingly wonderful, both for the authenticity, and also for the quality. I am also shocked that he hasn't "blown up" as you say.
I didn't realize how much I needed this type of cover!
It truly does sound amazing. Nobuo Uematsu is crazy
SolePorpoise i second that. Great comment
I love seeing people who recognize a masterpiece. Man you're amazing in all instruments!
And yet another amazing track from the best game in the franchise
Just amazing
Wow. Arguably my favorite piece of music from the masterpiece that is FFVI. Excellent job!
FFVI has the best music ever.. Im so happy to see it as it should sound without the limitations of the snes. Thank you this is amazing!
nobuo uematsu was an awesome melody writer and composer the he does the turn around is absolute genius writing
Finally! Thank you for putting this together like you did. This is the only performance of phantom forest I have found that sticks to the original SNES arrangement. Gotta love that bass!
Seeing this on 2021 and still amazing. Beautiful
I still can't believe how good this cover is. Definitely my favorite of yours, and I didn't even even had this song in my radar the first time I watched this video!
Beyond amazing!! Both in arrangement and execution!
that is just beautiful music, all of final fantasy 6 music was epic , best game and soundtrack ever
You sir, have earned a subscription! GREAT GREAT JOB!
大好きな曲です！素晴らしい演奏ありがとうございます。
I’m imagining an octopath style FF6 remake with this as the soundtrack and it’s great
Sabin, Cyan and Shadow are proud of this one.
You should have 1million subscribers! Definitely underrated.
My viscerally favorite VG song of all time!
Excellent. You really captured the warmth this song provides.
as well as the chills, both being exactly true about the song.
Ah man! That leap of a 10th on the recorder! So awesome! I always liked this theme, and always felt the only thing missing was real instruments. Now it's perfect. Thank you so much.
Very outstanding, and loyal to the original score! awesome work!
Oh man this is gorgeous. My favorite cave theme from any Final Fantasy, and hearing it in this medieval style was breath taking. You're so talented! I'm about to start an instrument collection, so it's nice seeing yours lol.
Starting an instrument collection is always a slippery slope to go down :) Good luck with it!
Yeeeeah I already got a few things and am obsessed so I'm already well on my way down that slope lolol.
Never ceases to impress me how amazingly accurate you can make these to the games. The mini cello(?) at the beginning gave me goosebumps with that haunting tone. Excellent job!
+Rikuno23 I tend not to really like its harsh sound, but in this song it's absolutely perfect!
It's a viola da gamba; it is related to the cello but with different tuning and a lower string tension, hence the very different tone compared to modern string instruments.
Wow! Easily one of the best covers of this amazing song I've heard in a long time. The flute goes perfectly with the atmosphere, and gives it an air of sadness. Well done, it really makes me wonder if you'd ever do renditions of "Still of the Night" and "Leave Time For Love" both from Secret of Mana, using real instruments as well.
Perfect! And now for the Phantom Train!!!! No Escape!!
FFVI THE BEST OF THE BEST. OUTSTANDING WORK
agreed..best FF
Better than ff15!? Jk ;)
I think of Cyan when I here this song, in sarrow of the loss of hes family
I lose my mind with this baseline every single time I hear it
Great job as always! Your rendition, playing with live instruments in the setting you're in, makes the overall song feel more cozy and warm... contrasting with the atmosphere it was supposed to play background to! The original had the same quality. It really adds to the depth of the composition. You made a great song sound better! :)
Cant get any better than this, thank you.
One talented dude right here! Great work.
It sounds like what Phantom Forest would sound like in Dark Cloud 2! Awesome!
Beautiful!
this is crazy....i got ma memories
Man i love your work! FF6 was a game most play by me. I love this game.
This is beautiful, i can not believe how you got only so few clicks
Hauntingly beautiful!
every video of yours I watch, you're playing like eleven new instruments. you must work really hard :O
Sir, you completed me again. Your music is god gift.
One of my favorite tracks in FFVI times fifty
EPIC! (as always!) You deserve so many more subscribers :D
by the way how do you have access to all those different instruments? Are they all yours?
And what Flute is that? Has a nice tone :D
Thanks! Most of the instruments are mine. The flute here is a renaissance alto recorder, which I'm borrowing from my local early music group. The rest in this video are from my own personal collection.
Opening chormatic riff will forever remind me of Call of Ktulu - Metallica, just in a different key.
Magnifique !
*Superb* audio quality on this.
Damn man
This getting used in my d&d adventures.
Mr Uematsu would be proud
Beautifull
ゲームの画面が思い浮かびますね。

Best cover of Phantom Forest I've ever heard.
Oh yes! This is what I was looking for!
Amazing!!!
I'm not really one to comment on videos, but this was absolutely beautiful

Good times

You're incredible, thank you! You just made my bad day better.
This is really wonderful.
i dont comment often but this is worth commenting for
wow, that goes to my private OST playlist! thank you for this reawake of childhood memories
素晴らしい！awesome;D from Japan
I don't know if your continuo captures the original on this one as much as it does for some of your other covers (Gau, Children Running etc.).....it's hard to emulate a full string chorus as just one man....still, this was very well played and pleasant to listen to. +1 like, and a sub.
It hits differently with real instruments.
Amazing.
You are very talented and a great musician. I also very much like your choices when it comes to covering videogame music scores. All the video's i watched/listened to from you are my favorite tracks. Thank you for performing, recording and sharing. Cheers and keep up the good work, you make a lot of people a little more happy or at least make their day with your videos. By the way, who on earth pressed the dislike button?
素晴らしい。もっと再生数伸びてもいいと思うな
