Best Final Fantasy in the entire series imho and one of the best if not the best endings in the series. You guys deserve your own personal airship for this one. Amazing👍
I agree. I beat this game to death on the SNES last century. I like the characters, story, and gameplay. This is one of my favorite video game endings.
This is the BEST cover for this ending Medley on the internet. The amount of wonderful memories this brought to me as a kid playing this timeless classic. Absolutely fabulous.
How was I today years old before realizing that it was Forever Rachel and not just some unrelated musical connective tissue? It's just in so much more of a triumphant tone than Forever Rachel's more melancholy one. It really speaks to the redemption and new purpose Locke has in life, and of course Nobuo Uematsu's way of weaving it all together in song. Incredible!
I always felt like this channel suffered because of how faithful it's recreations are. We seem to appreciate them but the audience at large seems to prefer covers in other styles
I don't really agree with that. I think the music is fantastic as Uematsu created it. It doesn't need to be changed and I think most people would agree with that. I just think the channel was created later in TH-cam''s life cycle, after the algorithm was changed and paid promotions took over. It's hard for small channels to get attention now.
@@bobomber it's possible but the truth is their highest viewed video doesn't come close to what covers attract. I've tried sharing these videos on social media myself and people just seem not to care
@@bobomber some channels literally blow up overnight. A Zelda animation that came out 3 weeks ago is the only video on one channel and it has surpassed this. It was only 6 seconds long. We the long time supporters just have to wait for the algorithm to favor Andrew and Co and then they'll go big!
This has been one of my dream covers forever, with a collaboration just like this - but I feel like yours might just be the definitive version. This is stunning. The blending of Locke and Celes's themes will ALWAYS make me cry, and this is no exception. Well done, everyone.
This brought tears to my eyes. I can't even explain why but this faithful reproduction is the kind to truly engage the emotions. Bravissimo, everyone involved!
The transition from Relm to Shadow has me in tears every time I listen to this song in general but this is incredible. I've been almost sobbing the entire song.
Shoutout to the flute player Gregory Orosz! He does a fantastic job and the flute really adds an emotional touch to this incredible piece. Also, the rest of the instruments are amazing as well. And mixing all the audio together--what phenomenal work!
Im in tears! Thank you for this wonderful moment. These creators left us such a beatiful and vast world of true artistic playground, and you did it honor! Thanks again!
By far my favorite game soundtrack. This piece is an accumulation of all that makes this one of the greatest. Paid to the utmost respect. Really impressive as always. In many respects FF6 is Nobuo Uematsu's magnum opus and you pay it the respect it deserves every single time.
9:20 ~ 10:02 - Oh, Lord! I've got the shudders on this part. Andrew, usually I don't comment on videos. I'm more on the lurker side of the Internet. However, I've been in love with your renditions for 2 years now since I've found the "Coin Song" and "Epitaph" videos. I always thought they were completely true to their original counterparts and sometimes I think you've even improved other musics as in "Figaro" or "Meridian Child" for an instance. But this time I completely froze in my chair and your play struck down as visceral. Unfortunately I live in a country where my currency amounts next to nothing and financial institutions consider Patreon as just a scam website and blocks credit cards on the spot. So I can only hope you get more and more recognition for your awesome work as a musician and I beg you continue to bless me and other viewers with music. Keep up the incredible work, lad. It has soul. Your videos make my day full of great feelings.
This theme can move me to tears, and I'm pleased to see it honored so throughly. In also pleased to see others love it as much as I. Hope you're doing good in the world wherever you are
You know... we, the viewer, are thanking these fabulous musicians for playing this magnificent piece, but I bet these musicians are thanking Nobuo for the chance to play a masterpiece of his and experience the mind of genius composer. Art is truly a magical experience!
Balance is Restored Part 1 is one of my favorite songs in gaming, ever... I’m not there yet, but the transition to Shadow’s theme gets me every time. I know you’ll do it justice! EDIT: you did. Shadow’s Reprise is a stake to the heart every single time, and now’s no exception.
The first notes of Cyan's Theme on that flute gave me chills and they just didn't stop. Again, this is the perfect recreation with all the nuances of Uematsu's original work ♥
I came back here after I listened to the part 2 of this piece that you created. Man, no matter how many times I listen to this, it will always be amazing.
This is one of Nobuo Uematsu’s greatest works. I, like many others I see posting here, used to beat the game regularly just to hear this back in the day. The feelings it gave 8-year-old-Me were certainly powerful, but seem to pale in comparison to the emotions it evokes today, with almost 30 years of memories and nostalgia to reflect on. Thank you so much for the work that you do and all the little moments of reflection your renditions provide. Masterful work, all of you!
So TH-cam really dared to hide your new videos from me uh. Unacceptable, you guys are incredible. I always get super emotional with this ending theme...❤️
This is my favorite ending. I've been fortunate to enjoy a lot of incredible games, but very few have endings as perfect as this. I could not be more thrilled with this performance. Thank you for respecting the original vision and keeping it faithful.
incredible project! Sometimes I feel like the high brass doesn't translate well into real life instrumentation, but David really nailed the parts in this.
First video to skip past "Likes" and go to "Favorites" on TH-cam in over 6 months for me. This medley just has a way of making you feel things you haven't felt in forever, doesn't it? Exceptional from everyone involved.
This is one of my absolute favorite pieces from a FF game - this ending medley always takes me back to a better time with some old friends I've not heard from in years. Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition! You're all so skilled!
You get better with every one you put out and this hit all the emotional beats for me from when I beat the game. FF6 is my favorite game and thanks so much for sharing this with us (me).
Special thanks to everyone who helped me out with this one! Check out their channels as well!

I haven't even listened yet and I already love it
We all do
HOLY SHIT I can't even tell you how many times I beat this game over and over to listen to this. Really takes me back to when games were amazing!
I remember beating this game to death on the SNES last century. This was one of my favorite video game endings.
9:20 kills me. I still remember beating it the first time at age 14 without saving Shadow, and thought that's just how it was.
I listen to the original ending song almost twice a month. I cry everytime... this rendition is not the exception, so beautiful...
That Relm into Shadow theme... gets me every time.
Best Final Fantasy in the entire series imho and one of the best if not the best endings in the series. You guys deserve your own personal airship for this one. Amazing👍
I agree. I beat this game to death on the SNES last century. I like the characters, story, and gameplay. This is one of my favorite video game endings.
It fills my heart with joy to know you waited for Shadow.
9:10 The Transition from Relm to Shadow give me shivers every time, and it's even more intense on this version. Well done!
If you don't get goosebumps when Shadow's theme starts, you have no soul.
Or when Locke starts sounding together with Celes
Brought me back to the wonderful time I first beat it, for just a moment.
That Terra/Relm/Shadow transition tho
Oh. my. GOD. I literally wept. Superbly done, Andrew, Joanne, Gregory, Nathan, David, Michael, Fernando, and Fredrik!
It's just allergies, I swear T_T
6:15 I'm not crying you're crying
This is a masterpiece. All FF6 fans in the world need to see this!
This is the BEST cover for this ending Medley on the internet. The amount of wonderful memories this brought to me as a kid playing this timeless classic. Absolutely fabulous.
I was trying not to cry while listening to that!

Good pool.
I can't believe how Nobuo so masterfully snuck in Forever Rachel between Celes and Locke's respective themes. What a genius!
How was I today years old before realizing that it was Forever Rachel and not just some unrelated musical connective tissue? It's just in so much more of a triumphant tone than Forever Rachel's more melancholy one. It really speaks to the redemption and new purpose Locke has in life, and of course Nobuo Uematsu's way of weaving it all together in song. Incredible!
9:20 got me
You guys deserve way more than 13k subs. The algorithm must be hard at work crushing small creators.

Let's keep believing and supporting our Orchestral Fantasy friends and soon he will become more popular.
The harpist nailed it. She's very good

I am in tears. My first RPG and I was so sad it ended.
The transition from Relm to Shadow has me in tears every time I listen to this song in general but this is incredible. I've been almost sobbing the entire song.
Ninjas cutting onions always gets me at Celes theme
God, it's so beautiful.
Aye, never expected to see you here Skyen
and yeah, this is amazing, I agree
Love your analysis videos btw
The shadow part made me cry, you got me.
Back again and again. Some of us have been waiting decades for this.
WOW this is an EXCELLENT performance!! Better than distant worlds?!
Shoutout to the flute player Gregory Orosz! He does a fantastic job and the flute really adds an emotional touch to this incredible piece. Also, the rest of the instruments are amazing as well. And mixing all the audio together--what phenomenal work!
This is more perfect than the ending of the perfect game!
Holy shit, you are upping your game.
Im in tears! Thank you for this wonderful moment. These creators left us such a beatiful and vast world of true artistic playground, and you did it honor! Thanks again!
Well Shadow's theme melted my face off. Tears were shed. Thank you so much.
I feel you brother
9:20 This is the most beautiful rendition of this song that I've her heard. It's so moving.
My favorite ending theme of any game.... Lovely rendition.
I was delighted to have the opportunity to mix this. Great job to everyone involved; a fantastic arrangement that brought me to tears!
You really did this one justice. This is fantastic!
DEFINITIVE VERSION
Playing the trumpet looks like a combination of hitting a huge bong, and chugging the biggest beer you ever have in the same moment....
Thank you again for the awesome cover!
By far my favorite game soundtrack. This piece is an accumulation of all that makes this one of the greatest. Paid to the utmost respect. Really impressive as always. In many respects FF6 is Nobuo Uematsu's magnum opus and you pay it the respect it deserves every single time.
If I ever become an emperor... ye shall be my court composer!
Still the best after all these years.

Epitaph is one of my favorite pieces in all of music. He really did such a great job on it too.
This theme can move me to tears, and I'm pleased to see it honored so throughly. In also pleased to see others love it as much as I.
Hope you're doing good in the world wherever you are

THAT SHADOW TRANSITION
OH...MY...GOD. you've outdone yourself.
The respect Orchestral Fantasy gives the OST's is commendable. Yet another awe-inspiring upload, Cheers!
9:20 instant shivers ❤❤❤❤
Balance is Restored Part 1 is one of my favorite songs in gaming, ever... I’m not there yet, but the transition to Shadow’s theme gets me every time. I know you’ll do it justice!
EDIT: you did. Shadow’s Reprise is a stake to the heart every single time, and now’s no exception.
Truth.
Was waiting for that transition too. Easily my favorite part of this track
Damn, that Shadow section was powerful! I was not expecting to cry. lol
I shed a tear listening to this. So many memories.
2021, you know how classical of this game
Yes Andrew and friends!!! This one is the best in my eyes!! Beautiful!!!
aaaaand i just got to the attack for shadow's theme. *slow clap of approval*
The MOG theme. Dear god.
The first notes of Cyan's Theme on that flute gave me chills and they just didn't stop. Again, this is the perfect recreation with all the nuances of Uematsu's original work ♥
How can you be the first time I've ever (finally!) found someone doing an orchestral remix of the whole Ending theme?!! 👏👏
It's crazy, if you want odds: kaythepianist released a full arrangement of it recently as well!
I came back here after I listened to the part 2 of this piece that you created. Man, no matter how many times I listen to this, it will always be amazing.
Never been so excited to listen to a TH-cam video....
Could not click fast enough.
This is one of Nobuo Uematsu’s greatest works. I, like many others I see posting here, used to beat the game regularly just to hear this back in the day.

This is amazing! The transition from Relm to Shadow still gets me after all these years
This was gorgeous! Please also do the rest of the ending theme!
So TH-cam really dared to hide your new videos from me uh. Unacceptable, you guys are incredible. I always get super emotional with this ending theme...❤️
Thank you all.
Flawless I’ve finished game when I was a teen this really brings me back after defeating Kefka.👍👍
Always loved the transitions - especially into Shadow's portion.
GOAT
This is next level my good sir. Congratulations on the accomplishment!
This is my favorite ending. I've been fortunate to enjoy a lot of incredible games, but very few have endings as perfect as this. I could not be more thrilled with this performance. Thank you for respecting the original vision and keeping it faithful.
incredible project! Sometimes I feel like the high brass doesn't translate well into real life instrumentation, but David really nailed the parts in this.
This is one i've been waiting for!
We are not worthy! So good!
Unbelievable. My favorite piece ever.
First video to skip past "Likes" and go to "Favorites" on TH-cam in over 6 months for me. This medley just has a way of making you feel things you haven't felt in forever, doesn't it? Exceptional from everyone involved.
OH MY GOD YOU FINALLY DID IT!!!
Finally.
i never thought this day would come :)
Glad to know I'm not the only one that cries when they hear this!
wow.
Relms segment is by far my favorite part. Very wholesome and sad at the same time
ahhh, the feels
Yessss! I've been waiting for this to show up on the channel for a long time. FFVI is so good. Wonderful job by everyone.
Goosebumps.
A triumph, through and through. Amazing work, everyone!
This is one of my absolute favorite pieces from a FF game - this ending medley always takes me back to a better time with some old friends I've not heard from in years. Thank you so much for this beautiful rendition! You're all so skilled!
Beautiful work by everyone involved 🥲
I got shivers.
I am not a person who gets shivers.
Good lord.
I love the harp, it is just so beautiful
incredible, outstanding, amazing, flawless
Every movement is giving me chills. Phenomenal work, and thank you.
I was sooo hoping to find this...my life is now complete. Thank you for creating this masterpiece.
This was stunningly beautiful. How is this channel not more popular?!
Yet another skillful recreation... BRAVO!
Thank you for covering this song very much. You sent me back in time.
When that Figaro theme kicks in, I usually gets shivers down my spine, you guys did it too. Well done. Such a great job!
You get better with every one you put out and this hit all the emotional beats for me from when I beat the game. FF6 is my favorite game and thanks so much for sharing this with us (me).
This is amazing. We all have to spread the word about this channel. It deserves way more subs and love.
Nice subtle touch, the JP cartridge in the background in the fiddle segments.
This is the best... I'm so happy you spent the time to make this. I'm literally crying right now.
