I like hanging out with this cutesy and talkative music enthusiast and how they give space for the music to present itself. Wonderful curations so far :3
Will have to see how many more I can do in this series! There's only so many fun arrangements by SquareEnix after all but I'm happy you're enjoying it. ✨
I'm quickly Falling In Love with your incredible playlists. If you feel motivated, us rando strangers on the internet would LOVE to see more of your curated lists of rare VG music. Doesn't just have to be FF if you have others to pull from that YOU love!
FFXI was such an amazing game, and because you spend SO MANY hours in each area, the music becomes etched in your memory. So even though it has been forever, hearing those songs takes me right back. Thank you for showing that soundtrack the love it deserves and for putting so much effort into an awesome playlist!
Thanks again for the great mix and commentary! Selbina brings back so many memories. It was the place I logged out for the last time in Final Fantasy XI, a San d'Oria Taru Taru White Mage with a million MP. That one will always have a special place in my heart. :)
I love your videos. They’re a personal touch unlike anything on this platform. If you make more, you have a forever fan. If you only made these, I’m forever grateful. Thank you for being you. God bless you.
You say it was a delight to connect with fellow fans, but the pleasure was all mine (and I am sure this is true for many other listeners too). Whiling away the hours, revisiting some cherished melodies in new forms. Engaging in what feels like an asynchronous conversation: learning some tidbits about the development behind the music or the games they featured in, or indeed about yourself. I have enjoyed this follow-up playlist immensely, as you can tell! How fitting that you should choose VIII as one of the closing pieces - for that was the FF that began it all for me. Back then I was a kid getting wrecked by a T. Rex; though I prevailed once I accidentally summoned Shiva. It took me many years to rediscover FF, and interestingly, it was the music that tipped me off. Hearing the Prelude many years later made me finally realise that "that game" I had played so many years ago and found so exciting, was none other than a Final Fantasy game. If you have another playlist in the works, you can be sure I'll set some time aside for a listen (and watch!). I wonder if you have also perhaps amassed a treasure trove of unofficial, e.g. fan, covers and arrangements too? I would not be surprised if the tome on which you sit, O Teal Tantarian, contained such musical wisdom too! A particular favourite of mine is the Masterplan FFXI Tribute album. Have you heard it?
I have a lot of fan covers that I love and have made a few myself, although they’re a little harder to make a video of. SE seems quite reasonable about protecting their copyright on TH-cam as long as everything is tagged properly and they’re getting any monetisation (which is very fair!) When it comes to fan covers it opens up the video to 10+ rights owners who might copyright strike the channel and it scares me a bit. 😵💫 I might release a video of my covers though… they’re already out there if one wants to find them. I might even get copyright struck by myself if I make a video now I think about it. 🤔😂
@@tealtantarian that is a very fair concern. I guess one option is to make a TH-cam playlist, but this isn't always convenient. Depends on how the artists have published their tracks.
@@paradoxicaldragon Aye, it's certainly possible. If I go down that road I think I'll just reach out to the creators personally and get their permission directly, since I quite like making the videos - both the little comments and such but I also edit the audio a fair bit so it's a smooth listening experience track-to-track. All takes a lot of time though 😂 I'm actually working on a big video essay about FFXI so that will be the next thing to come out here I think!
I now exclusively play these playlists in surgery for my patients at work! Please make some more as they are genuinely amazing 💖 You Are Not Alone and Waltz for the Moon are my favourites off this one.
Thank you so much for another wonderful playlist! So many memories! Oh how I miss San d'Oria! FF-XI! I hope you'll make another playlist for us again soon with your delightful commentary! Even if they're songs we do know! ;3
Very enjoyable series! Super happy you are pushing forward with it! Great for work background. Also: love the small descriptions with some bg information of each piece.
This was really great, I even love the, "bonus track," at the end. Final Fantasy music isn't just great video game music, it's great music, period. Keep them coming.
I have never played FF XI, but its music and especially Distant Worlds draw me in to listen to it every now and then. Hell, I even sing along when it plays. It's like this nostalgia bait for something I have no nostalgia over. Today it's like a time capsule, you can find the original playonline sites in their original forms and resolutions even now. It's not a world I've explored, or even entered. Neither I am planning to enter it. I only hear the songs and stories of others, and hold both close to my heart. The memories sound so happy it makes me happy too. Vana'diel is quite literally a distant world for me, a story that I can only retell as a third-hand account. Distant Worlds is still one of "those" songs. I'll grow old listening to it, much like I'm gonna grow old with this franchise in general. When I have kids, or if my friends' kids come and ask about me of Final Fantasy, I'll be that bald old guy from the meme with a tear on his eye. I still like hanging out here, I'm taking this a song or two at a time. Congratulations on the 10x watch-to-sub rate!
I really love this list and i keep listening to it over and over. However I just have one gripe. At the very end where I feel so sleepy and relaxed, I get woken up by cheers due to the “woohoo!” from the hidden track thing 😂
Another fantastic playlist! This one has so many of the pieces that I love - "Descendent of Shinobi" and "Fisherman's Horizon" get stuck in my head all the time, and FFXV was also represented! :D And my all-time favorite: "You're Not Alone." I adored this arrangement, especially because the epic violin reminded me of the arrangements for "Primrose, the Dancer" and "A Settlement in the Red Bluffs" on the Octopath Traveler Break & Boost album (one of my most-played video game albums!). I decided to look it up, and it turns out that Atsuki Yoshida helped with the arrangements and performed the violin for each of the songs! Super cool, and I'm definitely going to check out the rest of the FF acoustic album! Thanks again for putting together these playlists! You do a wonderful job, and they are very much enjoyed! :)
apart from the ai image, i love these videos :'D it's making me so emotional, it's so lovely hearing these arrangements. bless your niche knowledge and thank you so much for sharing and the beautiful video production
you are one of my favorite creators in the ff space. thank you so much for the amazing music and injections of your lovely personality into every video!
I swear that intro section of "Legend of Eternal Wind" was co-opted into the trailer for Shadowbringers FF14, where Lyna is dancing, and then up in the tower the Exarch is looking into the Source from the First...
I'm so glad your first video got recommended to me, and color me surprised a second video came out the day after I listened to the first. Some I've heard before, like celtic moon on the first video, I actually own that cd and still surprise people with it to this day. I hope you keep going with these videos and branch out from just FF music, I know there's not a lot from other series as FF but there are some, a couple I can do off the top of my head if your a Xenogears fan is Myth: The Xenogears orchestral Album and Creid also a Xenogears album; and Creid is done by Yasunori Mitsuda himself. Any ways like I said before I really hope you keep going with these, and thank you for brightening up my day.
I love these playlists! I miss some of the track descriptions while I have this in the background, so it would be cool to have a script or document of your notes on the music
Yes!! Very excited for this. Your first video convinced me to check out the music to FFXI, something I've long neglected. If you do a 3rd video and want something upbeat consider Songo de Chocobo. It's from the compilation album "Final Fantasy 1987-1994" ("Final Fantasy N" in North America.)
Muchas gracias por el vídeo 😁 Si te sirve y no los conoces te puedo recomendar unos cuantos discos más para tus siguientes videos, que no mucha gente conocen * FINAL FANTASY Record Keeper 1-5 El juego fue exclusivamente para celulares y actualmente solo se encuentran en Japón pero tuvo 5 discos increíbles en dónde les hicieron arreglos exclusivos para el mismo, incluso tienen una canción de la celebración del 30 aniversario de 25 min de duración la cual es sublime *Folktale Recollection -FINAL FANTASY Este como su nombre lo indica tiene un enfoque al folclore, solo tiene canciones de FF 4 y 5 pero son bastantes interesantes *Radiant Melodies - FINAL FANTASY VII Aún que no tiene mucho tiempo que salió apenas y se conoce lo cual es una lastima por qué tiene temas con un enfoque diferente SQUARE ENIX Chill Out Arrangement Tracks - AROUND 80's MIX Este es fácil de encontrar pero le pasa lo mismo que el anterior, si tienes una oportunidad te lo recomiendo Y ya para finalizar toda la saga de SQ que son SQ Swing SQ Chips Beer SQ Rare SQ More SQ Love SQ Chill SQ Last SQ Y perdón por escribir en español pero mi inglés es una basura 😅
Haha, no worries friend! I know the pain of different languages quite well ;_;. I’ve listened to a lot of the SQ stuff and I like it! It’s all so varied though it can be hard to slot into a playlist smoothly. Will figure it out! 😂 The Radiant Melodies album I’ve not listened to though - so that’s a great recommendation. Some really odd/interesting arrangements with the electric guitar!
Another thing that I would recommend is possibly listening to the arrangement album for FFV (Final Fantasy V Dear Friends), favorite track from the album is Lenna's theme: th-cam.com/video/wC0lQgJgvq8/w-d-xo.html. Not only this, but did you know that Uematsu made a standalone album in the early 90s called Phantasmagoria? Which also has a vocal arrangement of the main theme of final fantasy th-cam.com/video/AIA3zXs8nOM/w-d-xo.html. The rest of the album is original and great as well, having a very similiar sound to 16 bit era Final Fantasy, my favorite original track from the album is Mirrors: th-cam.com/video/3JzbgWWMDAs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8yWIjFwtAtrg4GjO. Do have a question though, do you possibly collect VGM as a hobby? Otherwise, great video for exposing the wider FF community to these amazing arranged albums.
Hey! I’ve listened to all of those - in era too 😂 they’re are both great. I wouldn’t call myself a vgm collector really. I know enough about FF’s music because I’ve been exposed to it and explored it a bunch. I do compose video game music though and it’s really helpful to have lots of original high quality music available to help mix and master tracks. Why do you ask?
If you make too many of these and run out, you can start lessening the severity of the title! "Final Fantasy music you've probably heard, but I wanted to show you anyway. Sorry..." Just like that, y'know?
Also, would it be possible to have a little Moogle notification noise whenever a comment bubble pops up? I tend to listen to this while working and notice that I sometimes miss a cool fact.
@@tealtantarian Sorry to say but I'm in camp distracting. This music is wonderful to put on in the background and relax to without repeating noises over it. I doubt this channel can be monetised as it's based on FF material so if views aren't a big consideration, perhaps two versions could be uploaded? One with moogle noise prompts and one without?
![[two hours] beautiful final fantasy 7 rebirth + remake music mix ~ relaxing ~ emotional ~ jrpg](/img/n.gif)
I like hanging out with this cutesy and talkative music enthusiast and how they give space for the music to present itself. Wonderful curations so far :3
So happy you're continuing this series!
Will have to see how many more I can do in this series! There's only so many fun arrangements by SquareEnix after all but I'm happy you're enjoying it. ✨
The brass band version of Fisherman's Horizon is so beautiful!
Oh wow, that Haruka Naru Furusato cover of "Home, Sweet Home" gets me misty eyed. It's far and above my favorite track from FFV.
I'm quickly Falling In Love with your incredible playlists. If you feel motivated, us rando strangers on the internet would LOVE to see more of your curated lists of rare VG music. Doesn't just have to be FF if you have others to pull from that YOU love!
FFXI was such an amazing game, and because you spend SO MANY hours in each area, the music becomes etched in your memory. So even though it has been forever, hearing those songs takes me right back. Thank you for showing that soundtrack the love it deserves and for putting so much effort into an awesome playlist!
It still is. I still play. It's still awesome. Everybody is on Asura. Come play.
Thanks again for the great mix and commentary! Selbina brings back so many memories. It was the place I logged out for the last time in Final Fantasy XI, a San d'Oria Taru Taru White Mage with a million MP. That one will always have a special place in my heart. :)
I really like your comments that go with each song :) It really gives me the vibe of sharing music with friends!
Love you for this! Hope you keep growing!
Welcome back! So happy you chose to do another one! Track selection is superb, and I can't get enough of your little reflections in the text boxes...
1:30 - I love connecting this music with the notion of Squall sitting in a field, reflecting on his love and inner journey...
I love your videos. They’re a personal touch unlike anything on this platform. If you make more, you have a forever fan. If you only made these, I’m forever grateful. Thank you for being you. God bless you.
You say it was a delight to connect with fellow fans, but the pleasure was all mine (and I am sure this is true for many other listeners too). Whiling away the hours, revisiting some cherished melodies in new forms. Engaging in what feels like an asynchronous conversation: learning some tidbits about the development behind the music or the games they featured in, or indeed about yourself. I have enjoyed this follow-up playlist immensely, as you can tell!
How fitting that you should choose VIII as one of the closing pieces - for that was the FF that began it all for me. Back then I was a kid getting wrecked by a T. Rex; though I prevailed once I accidentally summoned Shiva. It took me many years to rediscover FF, and interestingly, it was the music that tipped me off. Hearing the Prelude many years later made me finally realise that "that game" I had played so many years ago and found so exciting, was none other than a Final Fantasy game.
If you have another playlist in the works, you can be sure I'll set some time aside for a listen (and watch!). I wonder if you have also perhaps amassed a treasure trove of unofficial, e.g. fan, covers and arrangements too? I would not be surprised if the tome on which you sit, O Teal Tantarian, contained such musical wisdom too! A particular favourite of mine is the Masterplan FFXI Tribute album. Have you heard it?

Connections like these are why I love being a Final Fantasy fan. Thank you for putting these together and providing your commentary!
I now exclusively play these playlists in surgery for my patients at work!
Please make some more as they are genuinely amazing 💖
You Are Not Alone and Waltz for the Moon are my favourites off this one.
The comments are beautiful touch! Love this
It's like Pop Up Video, I especially love the commentary!
I didn't know this version of You're not Alone exists, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for another wonderful playlist! So many memories! Oh how I miss San d'Oria! FF-XI! I hope you'll make another playlist for us again soon with your delightful commentary! Even if they're songs we do know! ;3
I've been to Selbina! Crazy how music brings back so many memories.
FFXI crew! 🫡
Very enjoyable series! Super happy you are pushing forward with it! Great for work background. Also: love the small descriptions with some bg information of each piece.
Watching these videos has added a bunch of CDs to my birthday list.
And the series continues, This will be a very fine addition to my playlist collection~
This was really great, I even love the, "bonus track," at the end. Final Fantasy music isn't just great video game music, it's great music, period. Keep them coming.
Yes! I have a bunch of homework to work on so this timing is perfect, thank you!!!
26:08 Thank you for put a spotlight on this beautiful arrangement. It reminds me so much of Erutan's cover back in the days.
5:20 - I *did* love Battle 2 from FF3 in the previous one! Lively acoustic arrangments of FF battle themes, FTW!!
Hey Ro'sø, thanks for that, love the hidden track you put at the end each time too :) Yeah fun to share our love of the video games music!
Shhh :3 hehe just kidding
I have never played FF XI, but its music and especially Distant Worlds draw me in to listen to it every now and then. Hell, I even sing along when it plays.

Your first upload was great. I'm starting this one and the expectations are huge! Working on my 3D projects and listening to your mix has been great.
Well... just a few minutes in and I'm already grateful to having clicked your video. Thank you!!!!
:D
Fresh renditions of sweet, memorable music to my ears. Thank you! Kupo!
I just found the first one and now were back at it again! Thanks for the uploads. FF8 was my favorite and Eyes on Me is definitely my favorite piece.
Instant all-time favorite
Really enjoyed this one. I popped off when the Selbina theme came on, so many great memories from XI. Looking forward to the next one :)
I really love this list and i keep listening to it over and over. However I just have one gripe. At the very end where I feel so sleepy and relaxed, I get woken up by cheers due to the “woohoo!” from the hidden track thing 😂
Haha, apologies for interrupting your nap. I could certainly make a night time FF playlist though!
Cool arrangement of Waltz for the Moon. In tribute to that... Ro's0, "you're the best looking [slime] here". Ahahaha
This is an incredible mix ! They're all so amazing, and the trivia and all, are very interesting, thank you so much for this !!! ♥♥

Mmm! That makes so much sense now you have mentioned it! And thank you! 😌
Already recommending this channel to my Final Fantasy friends.
Another excellent Final Fantasy music video. I'll be chilling to this at work today. :D
loved the first one, eager to love this one
Oh yeah! Let's go! I love the art, the music and the info on the dialogue boxes :) I look forward to more uploads (hopefully)
Looking forward to more videos in the future. Great job!
Made with love. Thanks a lot again for sharing.❤😊

Ooo it’s an interesting idea. I’m confident doing it for FF stuff but I’ll need to do a lot of research for most other games. Could be fun though!
Excelent list! I loved it! Thank you!
This playlist... I like it. Another! ...please.
Thanks, the last one was pretty good for working to casually in my new remote job! This'll be the same! :>
I love these playlists! I miss some of the track descriptions while I have this in the background, so it would be cool to have a script or document of your notes on the music
Hmmm, I'll see if I can upload a transcript. Still new at this! 😅
YESSSSS! New video!
Yes!! Very excited for this. Your first video convinced me to check out the music to FFXI, something I've long neglected.
If you do a 3rd video and want something upbeat consider Songo de Chocobo. It's from the compilation album "Final Fantasy 1987-1994" ("Final Fantasy N" in North America.)
I’ll give it a listen! :3
Absolute goosebumps listening to that You Are Not Alone arrangement. Where did you find it?
I love this 😀
DIstant Worlds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ありがとう、This is my special song of life. ありがとう。
babe wake up peak just dropped
OMG, I didn't know that there was an unreleased version of Memoro de la Stono!"
1:17:06 Anyone else get the urge to steal your kid's recorder and learn how to play again? 🤣
I used to know the "lyrics" to Haruka Naru Furusato by heart hahaha.
😂
Bold of you to assume that I haven't heard any of those numbers before 😏
Nice selection 👌
And i like your little notes 😊
But video would be better with an image from an artist (+credit) instead of ai generated
Muchas gracias por el vídeo 😁
Si te sirve y no los conoces te puedo recomendar unos cuantos discos más para tus siguientes videos, que no mucha gente conocen
* FINAL FANTASY Record Keeper 1-5
El juego fue exclusivamente para celulares y actualmente solo se encuentran en Japón pero tuvo 5 discos increíbles en dónde les hicieron arreglos exclusivos para el mismo, incluso tienen una canción de la celebración del 30 aniversario de 25 min de duración la cual es sublime
*Folktale Recollection -FINAL FANTASY
Este como su nombre lo indica tiene un enfoque al folclore, solo tiene canciones de FF 4 y 5 pero son bastantes interesantes
*Radiant Melodies - FINAL FANTASY VII
Aún que no tiene mucho tiempo que salió apenas y se conoce lo cual es una lastima por qué tiene temas con un enfoque diferente
SQUARE ENIX Chill Out Arrangement Tracks - AROUND 80's MIX
Este es fácil de encontrar pero le pasa lo mismo que el anterior, si tienes una oportunidad te lo recomiendo
Y ya para finalizar toda la saga de SQ que son
SQ Swing
SQ Chips
Beer SQ
Rare SQ
More SQ
Love SQ
Chill SQ
Last SQ
Y perdón por escribir en español pero mi inglés es una basura 😅
Haha, no worries friend! I know the pain of different languages quite well ;_;.

I knew you were a FFXI player. It's still going strong. Come play on Asura.
I feel the same way about CoP
I still play a little! I’ve been writing a video on the music of FFXI that’s turning into a complete FFXI golden age retrospective 🙈
Also, would it be possible to have a little Moogle notification noise whenever a comment bubble pops up? I tend to listen to this while working and notice that I sometimes miss a cool fact.
Oooo thats a really cute idea! I’m a little worried some people might find it a bit distracting though. 🤔
@@tealtantarian Sorry to say but I'm in camp distracting. This music is wonderful to put on in the background and relax to without repeating noises over it.
