I'd like someday to hear your own arrangement of the Final Fantasy's Main Theme. I don't know if you've heard it, but PianoYN made many years ago a really beautiful arrangement, and for many years, for me, has been the best version of them all. I'm sure that you could make something out of this world with that theme, because you breath final fantasy music, music flows from you. Maybe you don't know how good you are, but you are. Greetings from Spain.
If i may ask: would you upload the exact sheet music you're reading someday? I bought the one you released, but there's little differences (left hand mainly) between that and the one you're playing. Did you improvise it when recording, or its written in the sheets you're reading? (i cant keep hearing this performance, it's beyond beauty)
@@creandoCOSASdiy sorry, i do tend to improvise in the moment as I’m playing so I never really follow written sheets exactly, even my own haha, and I don’t remember exactly what I do because every performance is different lol. But all of the important chords, harmonies, filigree and melody and should be there, minor differences in this performance can be figured out by ear, I’m sure!
what a unexpected find in a game i never played, when i heard this song while watching the game everything else slowed down. thank you for showing it to others too
Wow! I feel like video game music has somewhat become more and more like classical music. When I listen to these beautiful final fantasy arrangements, I get the same chills that I get when I listen to rachmaninoff or chopin! Keep making awesome music! ❤❤
OKAY THIS IS JUST SO STUNNING AHHHH!!!! When I first heard this song I was like “when is purpleschala gonna make a cover of this” haha! I love what you did with this. This song gives me such old school jazz / ella Fitzgerald vibes and I love all those runs you did! It makes me feel like I’m in one of those old jazz clubs. If I saw you playing this live I would be cheering so hard!
WOW, that blew my head apart. That was crazy good . The way you took it up about 3 minutes in was just incredible. My SONY sent the sound to the 2 15s in the front and the 2 subs. Man, it sounded like the piano was in the same room with me. And I got 5 minutes this time. Magical performance ✨️ woo-hoo. Spectacular way to start my afternoon .
Holy cow, you've outdone yourself on this one. This sounded incredible when I listened to it playing through, and I was thinking how covering this would be insanely difficult, but you nailed it! :D
A masterclass once again; it really sounds like a jazz ballad, but the emotional and Romantic crescendo at 2:59 gives it an additional layer. Really beautiful moment! I'm kinda discovering the OST through your covers because it didn't strike me as much as XIII for example, for the few tracks I've heard. As you mentioned it doesn't rely on leitmotivs and memorable themes as much as Uematsu or Hamauzu's works.
All of the dominants have leitmotifs that recur throughout the game lol. Like this track is literally a version of Jill’s theme as seen in “currents”, “winter’s bound”, “my lady”, etc.
@@LouisR56 Just to clarify what I mean when I say "flagship theme"--I mean this from mainly a marketing perspective, not a musical or technical one. Somnus, Eyes on Me, To Zanarkand, Melodies of Life, etc. were heavily pushed in the promotional period before and after release as being the so-called iconic themes of the games. Most FF fans would cite them as such. But this has nothing to do with character specific thematic usage throughout an entire body of work (for which the term leitmotif has been co-opted in the vgm space, but one I personally feel weird using outside the context of Wagnerian opera). I state in the description that this is a theme specific to Jill that recurs in various forms and said themes play during specific cutscenes involving Jill, as @xc13runner also stated, and the same is true for other major characters. In that sense this OST is VERY much like 99% of the other FF OSTs by Uematsu, Hamauzu, Shimomura, etc., and serves a similar function to Suteki da Ne being a vocal version of Yuna's Determination in FFX. Just wanted to clear up any confusion that when I use the term "flagship," I am not referring to Soken's character specific thematic usage in the OST itself. Also why I stated in that regard Find the Flame is most likely that theme for XVI because SE published it to streaming services well before the release of the game and promoted it on social media. Sorry for the long reply, just really wanted to clarify because Soken's use of character themes is actually quite rampant in the OST!!!! Thanks so much for the kind words!!
@@purpleschala Thank you for the detailed answer! I understand better now; I guess I need to go back listen to the OST then lmao, since the tracks I've listened to didn't grab my attention as much as previous entries; but it was also the case with FFXV, even though I love Yoko Shimomura's work
I found this channel through ZeldaMOMOe and been listening to multiple of your videos for almost an hour since, what a great find! I might or might not have cried on this one though in particular. Im in awe!
i love you for this one. i was waiting for it since the short, but i didn't know the nameee. thank you for playing the piano for uuus!!!!!! god, you're such a delight
HAHAHAHAHAHA YES!!!!! thank you for being one of the fine folks who warned me not to listen to it lololololol because man the spoilers in the lyrics I UNDERSTAND NOW lol
@@purpleschala That one is still one of my favorite shorts videos i've made from the pod hahahah :D Amazing cover as always. This was such a pleasant rendition to listen to
@@gbzmr HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! i think my favorite part is still hearing about how your brother wrote a sternly worded letter to Square over the busted Xenogears disc and you guys got a WHOLE ASS REPLACEMENT LIKE WTF
This song has been thoroughly discussed in detail in my weekly therapy sessions...😭😭😭😭 In all seriousness, you are correct, the main theme here isn't as "flagship" as the ones you mentioned but it hurts even more knowing the story behind it. Composition from harmony to dissonance....it's all there for a reason to embody the character/story. If you have one or two more FF16 tracks left in you then I'd suggestion a piano version of Ascension. That would be AMAZING!
THANKS SO MUCH BABE!!!!! 😍 ahhh good to hear about BD3, I had my reservations since I heard it was more turn based unlike the previous games, but also heard great things about it so I will def be picking it up at some point after making somewhat of a sizeable dent in my backlog OTL
LMAO YOU KNOW IT NO PAIN NO GAIN!!!! 😂😂😂😂 oh I'm not gonna touch BG3 for a looooong while i still have like 800 hours of Xenoblade 3 to get through hahaha but looking forward to what you do with it, as always!!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍
About the flagship theme, its definetly a three way tie between (i will say eikon names for spoilers sake) Ifrit, Shiva and Phoenix. All three reappear in the game in different motifs, mostly shiva and phoenix, phoenix being my favorite, but the rearrangement of Find the Flame as All as One in the final battle was pretty peak.
YASSS THANK YOU FOR NOTICING!!!! 😍😍😍 the MAIN REASON I picked this piano!!! 😍😍😍😍 my tech suggested reining it in with voicing/regulation and I was like NO WAY MAN. NO WAY LOL
what *I* wouldn't do to see me do ANYTHING from Vagrant Story ffffff 😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤ I LOVE LOVE LOVE THAT GAME AND OST and need to get going on my plans for it!!!!!!
i’ve been looking for a cover of this song that actually plays the riffs as accurate to the original as possible, (for example at 1:17) this is unequivocally the best one yet. also no offence to the other covers i just find the original riffs literally exasperating(idk what that word means)
thank you so much!! haha there's a lot in this one that's really hard to translate to piano, despite being mostly vocal and piano, surprisingly--there are many places where it's apparent at least two piano tracks were overlaid, so I don't blame people at all for leaving things out, it just gets so awkward to play/learn.

What a song! It reminds me somewhat of the mood that was in that Metal Gear Solid 2 jazz ballad. Nice playing as always too!
oooooo i'm not familiar with any Metal Gear other than the NES ones lol, but I hear the MGS OSTs have a lot in the way of metal/jazz/EDM!!
Oh right on. It is "can't say goodbye to yesterday" It is definitely worth a listen.@@purpleschala
