I thought this was a fitting end to my series of Final Fantasy videos. It has been quite the grind over the last 8 months, but I'm very happy with the final result and reception. The tracks from the album have been streamed 650k times on Spotify alone which is absurd to me. Thank you! I will post two compilations from the album in the coming days. Stay tuned for guitar covers from different video game series as well as other mediums (anime, film, etc.).
It is strange for me to think about how the world has changed in the span of working on this project. This time has certainly changed my playing and given me fresh inspiration towards a new love of arranging. And I cannot thank you enough for listening to my music and supporting my art. It means the world to me and has given me uplifting feelings at a time when those are hard to reach.

Speed, tone, the feel, everything is perfect here. It’s just simple acoustic guitar greatness. This is what an acoustic guitar was mean to do✨And on top of that, Final Fantasy songs are just so wonderful.

[@seibpa]

such purity in your tone

[@SvenScken]

Literally started crying after the first few notes...

[@gideonzz]

This one I remember not giving any thought to back in the day when it came out. Then me and some friends went to Distant Worlds (Also many years ago haha), this song and Eyes on me were both played and they both hit like... I dunno, like a nice surprise and a new appreciation came to me to this one.
Thank you for playing John😄

[@hobbified]

This is nice. Eyes on Me is lovely (like you, I didn't take much notice of it when it was new, but years later it sunk in). The English-version Suteki da Ne that Susan Calloway does is kind of a travesty though.

[@alenwesker9552]

So touching, I can't describe how much I love this song and how much I love your performing. Keep doing it man. I love games and I love music.

[@EricJustenGuitar]

Sounds fantastic. Not enough people running down FF XII jams, man. Thank you!

[@stevensimmons3129]

word.

[@alextran1637]

This is amazing. It flows in a way that captures the power and emotion in the original song. Thank you for this guitar cover, not enough people give attention to Final Fantasy 12.

[@dromega1586]

That was amazing its just relaxing and beautiful i hope u make it big

[@RebeccaETripp]

These ending ballads often end up sounding better to me as solo instrumentals.

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Thankfully in many of the JRPGs there are instrumentals of the tracks in the OST. (Julia in FF 8 for instance)

[@Postumeartist]

Melodies of life piano version is my favourite of them

[@jmag4527]

Well done sir well done! 👏🏾

[@polishcow7676]

this is actually really good

[@ninmohattori9212]

Beautiful

[@alexeykononov5596]

[@TheBilliardCorner]

Great job again :)

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Thank you!

Aki
You say my love is all you need
To see you through
But I know these words are not quite true
Here is the path you're lookin' for
An open door
Leading you to worlds you long to explore
Go if you must move on alone
I am gonna make it on my own
Kiss me good-bye
Loves memory
Follow your heart and find your destiny
Won't shed a tear
For loves mortality
For you put the dream in my reality
As time goes by I know you'll see this is me
I love you enough to let you go free
Go, I will give you wings to fly
Cast all your fear into the sky
Kiss me good-bye
Loves mystery
All of my life I'll you close to me
Won't shed a tear
For loves mortality
For you put the dream in my reality
Kiss my good-bye
Loves memory
You put the dream in my reality

[@Jo-vw2fz]

So talented!! How long did it take to learn this and what’s the sheet music you learned from?!

[@tbxblackie9410]

こんばんは(^^)、ガットギターは比較的マイナースケールを奏でるイメージがありましたが、これは素敵だね❗癒されます。

[@ffbc_2023]

Always zero dislike in a world full of demons

[@kdefensemartialarts8097]

👏

[@jlsm7746]

Great job! which video is next ? Waiting for 2am from Animal Crossing :)

[@JohnOethGuitar]

Good question! Haha I'm not sure. It very well could be. 😂

[@humble_integrity]

[@usul573]

[@stevensimmons3129]
