I just finished Endwalker a couple of hours ago. I'm honestly astounded as to how this theme fits the zone perfectly. The intro especially has this otherworldly feeling that kind of captures being in space.
It's more than that, when you get to the final part and finally hear the lyrics... its truly the requiem of the last 10 years of my life... I have been with ff14 since 1.0 technically... though I was not active for 1.0 I have been on and off since 2.0 beta and beyond... this song tears my heart to pieces for a myriad of reasons...
When that "tales of loss and fire and faith" kicks in, it doesn't matter if instrumental or not it just slams with the force of all the years . Thank you for this beautiful performance
But I hear you... This song never fails to make me cry. Never. Especially the very beginning and the very end. Tales of loss and fire and faith, indeed. Never stray.
The way you play guitar is just as beautiful as the music that comes out of it. This is my favorite song from Endwalker, thank you so much for your rendition.
I’m really enjoying all of your FFXIV arrangements. I’m planning on checking out more, but this is what I’m connecting most with now. My best friend was a guitarist, and had studied classical guitar when we were in music school together. They passed away just months before endwalker was released. They’re who I started playing xiv with around 5.2 in shadowbringers - they had played it in Heavensward with their partner, who passed away two years ago. I think they would absolutely love this, and your other arrangements/performances. We used to work at a cafe together, and we listened to the Frantz Casseus Haitian suite along with his whole library of works very often those days. We would also get together to play John Dowland lute songs together, with me playing my bassoon. Probably my favorite instance of us playing together, though, was the Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 on my last recital. Anyways, I wanted to share this to show some of the depth of my appreciation for your work. I know it is quite personal and sad, but seriously, bravo.
Thanks for sharing that and I'm terribly sorry about your friend. I've performed that Villa Lobos and it is so beautiful. I think friends that you have worked with, chilled with, and made great music are the most cherished relationships. Take care! ❤️
There can't be enough praise to the musical genius of Masayoshi Soken. That being said, excellent rendition that captures the essence of the original, both in the musical aspect and the whole mood and feel. Well done, have an upvote.
This…THIS. The feels…and the emotion that you add with your playing…thank you. Thank you so much. As always, perfect rendition. By the way, the harmonics killed me at the end. Just beautiful.
Ever since I first played FFVII, I've been thinking that Square has reached the absolute pinnacle with their music. And over the intervening 25 years they've somehow found countless more pinnacles to ascend. Goddamn miraculous.
i quite literally Just started to go to bed after finishing Endwalker, checked TH-cam on a whim, and saw this right in front of me. Gorgeous cover, and a lovely thing to send me to sleep. Keep up the stellar work. 💖
This is one of my absolute favorite themes from Endwalker, and I absolutely love it. It's so beautifully done. You are incredibly talented. I will definitely be listening to this on loop. ♥️
Love this, John. Life is too busy for Endwalker right now, but I absolutely enjoyed Shadowbringers. The only times I''ve heard anything from Endwalker has only been from trailers and this channel.
Wow. Phenomenal skill. Easily one of the best covers I've seen for this piece, and certainly the finest guitar cover. Very emotive playing and I deeply enjoyed it, thank you for sharing this.
Scuse me while I wipe my tears 😭😭😭 Absolutely enamored with how well this captures the exact feeling of both the original track AND the context of where it plays... (If u know u know)
I could listen to this all day. This song tugs on the heart strings every time I hear it. You did beautifully. I'm fighting back tears listening to it. Good tears.
Absolutely beautiful rendition of this already amazing song. I've already listened to it multiple times on repeat. ❤ I must say, I can't think of any other game out there, especially an MMO at that, that has had so many wonderful songs that have made me as emotional as FF14 does.
This has been in my watch later playlist for weeks. I wanted to hear the song in the game first. I just finished Endwalker today. This was worth the wait, amazing!
Thanks, man! It's wild and surreal. Your comment made Nicole so happy. She is definitely the unseen vital contribution to the channel and me in so many different ways.
@@JohnOethGuitar Ya know, as individuals, we can accomplish many things, all of which become greater when we have true companionship. As well as the world of possibilities that unlocks for each. Glad you two have each other =)
Lyrics to sing along 😊 Whispers falling silently drift on the wind But I hear you Our journey, now a memory fading from sight But I see you Unbroken promises we made so long ago You're still here Unspoken requiem for a river of tears Flowing, winding, toward eternal sea And yet our hope remains Guiding, lighting the way No time for mourning rises on a land reborn from the ashes 'Neath the heavens To sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm Blessed shadow Turning, wending, always night follows day The sun will shine again Walk on, never look back Through you, we live Tales of loss and fire and faith Every word on our hearts engraved In the dark, you will not stray Forge ahead till the end, we pray Whispers falling silently drift on the wind But I hear you Our journey, now a memory fading from sight But I see you (Unbroken promises we made so long ago You're still here Unspoken requiem for a river of tears) Flowing, winding, toward eternal sea And yet our hope remains Guiding, lighting the way No time for mourning (rises on a land reborn from the ashes 'Neath the heavens To sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm Blessed shadow) (Turning, wending, always night follows day The sun will shine again Walk on, never look back Through you, we live) Tales of loss and fire and faith Every word on our hearts engraved In the dark, you will not stray Forge ahead till the end, we pray
The music for endwalker had been a real treat from beginning to end but it's been even more of a treat seeing you have your take on it my friend . Keep up the great work can't wait for the next one !
Inspirational. I play bard and play my songs by hand. This video...It made me learn how to actually play this piece in game, and I hope to get it moderately close to what you're playing
Incredible and wonderful performance again!! 👏👏👏👏👏 This is one of my favorite tracks on Endwalker. I listened to it so many times in a row that I almost got auto-logged out! 😆
Oh man. I never delved super deep into the world of open tunings but it would not have occurred to me that you could find an open tuning that lets you play the song entirely on natural harmonics. 🤯
I found this channel from your Old Sharlayan Cover and have been subscribed since, and I am glad that I did! Amazing covers from XIV, and I am excited to hear what other songs you do from both XIV and any other games/media. It is very clear that you have incredible skill!
Absolutely beautiful cover once again, my heart sings with those harmonics. I introduced my FC to your channel and several of us await each cover with great excitement!

Love this rendition mate, is there no way to buy just a single tab from you though, I'd have to subscribe for $7 a month?
@@ryangurr7926 hey! You can get what you would like and unsub at any time. 😀
@@ryangurr7926 and p
this sounds like the wol strumming alone in their quiet times as a tribute to friends long gone and i love it
I'm picturing my BRD doing this in performance mode now and I love the idea
"For those we have lost... for those we can yet save..."
We should collab someday
Legendary Husky appears in the wild! Please let there be a collab!
YES freaking yes! 😍
Na man, my heart won't be able to take it..!
It'd be amazing.
big agree
holy shit yes please
I just finished Endwalker a couple of hours ago. I'm honestly astounded as to how this theme fits the zone perfectly. The intro especially has this otherworldly feeling that kind of captures being in space.
Soken is very good at what he does (and the rest of the team). Cheers to John for not letting any of that go to waste in his covers.
Especially how with each "step" of the zone, the song becomes more clear, going from ethereal and instrumental, to the full version.
back then, when the songs starts i couldn't continue the game for about 10 minutes. just standing there and listened to the music
It's more than that, when you get to the final part and finally hear the lyrics... its truly the requiem of the last 10 years of my life... I have been with ff14 since 1.0 technically... though I was not active for 1.0 I have been on and off since 2.0 beta and beyond... this song tears my heart to pieces for a myriad of reasons...
That moment when the lyrics come in…
No time for mourning
beautiful :)
awh thanks Jesse!!
69th like hehehe
When that "tales of loss and fire and faith" kicks in, it doesn't matter if instrumental or not it just slams with the force of all the years . Thank you for this beautiful performance
yes ugh! didn't really think i would cry (AGAIN) but when that part hit i lost it :'(♥
Every word on our hearts engraved.
But I hear you...
This song never fails to make me cry. Never. Especially the very beginning and the very end.
Tales of loss and fire and faith, indeed. Never stray.
Forge ahead...
素晴らしい演奏ですね。涙が出るほど素敵です。
It's a wonderful performance. It is so wonderful that it brings tears to my eyes.
我慢できるよ！と思ったら初めてみたいに号泣しちゃったわ。
Just when I thought I could hold it in, I'm bawling all over again.
Whispers, falling silently, drift on the wind.
But I hear you! 😭
This part had me crying when I played it in-game, and here I am crying again listening to it
I know same I cannot stop listening to the song it's been on repeat for me the last few days 😭
Same

オールドシャーレアンのアレンジカバーを聞いてから、貴方の演奏の大ファンです！
新しい投稿また楽しみに待ってます😆
This came out of nowhere, like how this song came up in the MSQ. Makes me cry again
There can't be enough praise to the musical genius of Masayoshi Soken. That being said, excellent rendition that captures the essence of the original, both in the musical aspect and the whole mood and feel. Well done, have an upvote.
How the hell do you manage to capture the feel of this whole song with only a guitar? It's actually mind blowing.
because he played the same notes
美しく繊細な演奏で素晴らしいです！
あなたの投稿をいつも楽しみにしています
This…THIS. The feels…and the emotion that you add with your playing…thank you. Thank you so much. As always, perfect rendition.
By the way, the harmonics killed me at the end. Just beautiful.
Thanks so much! I can't *not* use harmonics of I'm in an alternate tuning. 😂
Soothing
Thanks ❤️
This theme sounds very warm and friendly on acoustic guitar.
Ever since I first played FFVII, I've been thinking that Square has reached the absolute pinnacle with their music. And over the intervening 25 years they've somehow found countless more pinnacles to ascend. Goddamn miraculous.
Don't mind me, I'm just leaking from my eyes.
(This is BEAUTIFUL!)

旅を思い出して泣けてくる
This needs to be an in game orchestrion roll, I want this playing in my house 24/7
アコギならではの味わい深さが最高！
しかもハーモニクス奏法まで！？
上手すぎる…🙄
You and husky man. You are actual scions. Ending this on harmonics was just brilliant 🥲
I Would legitimately kill to hear you perform this rendition on a 12 string. The ethereal feel it would give it would be fucking exceptional
This is one of my absolute favorite themes from Endwalker, and I absolutely love it. It's so beautifully done. You are incredibly talented. I will definitely be listening to this on loop. ♥️
Glad you like it!❤
the natural harmonics at the end blew me out of the chair. holy hell! so beautiful, nice work!
Appreciate that! Those harmonics were definitely a lightbulb moment.
How can u play this withour crying?😭 Everytime im in that zone and hear the music, all the emotions come up.
you are simply amazing
Love this, John. Life is too busy for Endwalker right now, but I absolutely enjoyed Shadowbringers. The only times I''ve heard anything from Endwalker has only been from trailers and this channel.
Omg! This sounds beautiful! Thank you for covering this!
Thanks and my pleasure 😀
素晴らしい演奏をありがとう！
The Japanese in the title means to "come close"
I think the more appropriate word is 「離れても側に」
I've listened to this hundreds of times upon discovering it recently. Very well done. Bravo
Appreciate that, and welcome to the channel!
@@JohnOethGuitar thank you. Is there a place more exclusive than here regarding playing techniques or other music oriented discussion/content?

なぜだかすごく泣いてしまった

At 3:24, it's the same as the string ostinato pattern in Christopher Tin's Sogno di Volare!
This is such a beautiful rendition of my favorite Endwalker song (thus far)!
Hey hey, great to see the sub count hit over 30,000! Keep it up, John! By the way, Nicole's filming is getting better with every video, also.

Lyrics to sing along 😊
Whispers falling silently drift on the wind
But I hear you
Our journey, now a memory fading from sight
But I see you
Unbroken promises we made so long ago
You're still here
Unspoken requiem for a river of tears
Flowing, winding, toward eternal sea
And yet our hope remains
Guiding, lighting the way
No time for mourning
rises on a land reborn from the ashes
'Neath the heavens
To sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm
Blessed shadow
Turning, wending, always night follows day
The sun will shine again
Walk on, never look back
Through you, we live
Tales of loss and fire and faith
Every word on our hearts engraved
In the dark, you will not stray
Forge ahead till the end, we pray
Whispers falling silently drift on the wind
But I hear you
Our journey, now a memory fading from sight
But I see you
(Unbroken promises we made so long ago
You're still here
Unspoken requiem for a river of tears)
Flowing, winding, toward eternal sea
And yet our hope remains
Guiding, lighting the way
No time for mourning
(rises on a land reborn from the ashes
'Neath the heavens
To sunset, blood-red skies tranquil after the storm
Blessed shadow)
(Turning, wending, always night follows day
The sun will shine again
Walk on, never look back
Through you, we live)
Tales of loss and fire and faith
Every word on our hearts engraved
In the dark, you will not stray
Forge ahead till the end, we pray
The harmonic work at the end is an extremely nice touch.
Beautiful. This song made me SOB in the game. I'm not crying - you are! T_T
The music for endwalker had been a real treat from beginning to end but it's been even more of a treat seeing you have your take on it my friend . Keep up the great work can't wait for the next one !
ありがとうございます
Square should commission these fans to make Orchestration Rolls of the renditions they play.
This may just be the best cover I've heard yet. Simply beautiful.
Beautiful interpretation. Final Fnatasy have the most beautiful musics in the history of games.
Gosh, that's beautiful stuff.
was so happy having this recommended to me on TH-cam...just introduced my dad to the original who liked it, and now this amazing cover he loves
The harmonics at the end of this... made me actually gasp. So perfect! 🥰
我也很喜歡這首歌 John 的古典吉他版本都真的好好聽呀。在做簡報的時候都是聽你的表演🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏
Endwalk is so good it meet most of my expectation of an expansion really love it

I don't know how I'm just now hearing this!!! Absolutely amazing man. Such an interesting tuning, too!
Wow wonderful. Thank you ☺️
Simply amazing John! You've captured the feeling of that zone and yes I'll be listening on repeat!

Gonna be over here, in tears from how pretty this is as I wait for it to be on Spotify so I can cry everywhere I go. ;A;
