    The common theme I see with the battle themes seems to be four parts to the themes: the initial shock of battle, the rising action, midst of fighting and action, and last part has this more flowing sound with a somewhat heroic feel to it, like it's saying "we got this guys".

Of course any pianist who plays technical piece may want someone to stick to the original artists creation.

But thats just my opinion of the matter. ^_^

    Hearing the battle themes from FF1 to FF6 gave me such a nostalgia rush and reminded me how much I love those games and its OST. Uematsu truly manages to give you pretty engaging and catchy battle tunes without going overly exaggerated with the instruments (something that happens in some newer RPGs where the battle tunes try to sound so epic but end up quite overwhelming and sometimes unnecesarily complex).

    I know this might be the most unpopular opinion about ff games, but there's just something about ffviii' s battle theme that just makes me smile like nothing else. The moment I heard it I was all smiles.
    Same goes for ffx's but I guess having spent nearly 1000hours playing it multiple times makes me a bit biased. Man I would love to hear a a updated version with the new FF's too, this was so amazing !

But I feel like the rest of the right hand is higher pitched. Otherwise, fucking amazing. I have something new to listen to while i do homework, and you have a new subscriber

      Thanks dang579! I actually learned, memorized, & recorded this entire medley in one day! I tried to transcribe it all to the best of my ability, but there are undoubtedly a few little mistakes here and there due to the speed of the session. I'm glad you enjoy it! :)

    • @StevenMelin
      @StevenMelin  10 років тому +3

      Ha, thanks! I've been developing this skill for 17 years :) Nope, no sheet music - transcribing = accurately reducing the orchestral version to piano. Arranging = creating my own version. So I technically do both! And yep, all by ear! Sometimes I'll use sheet music from others as a rough guide (to more quickly find the notes on tougher sections), but I always use my ears!

    When those bass notes hit just right... I really like how FFIX brought back the opening bassline that is signature to the original series pretty much. Though the FFVII theme is really brave, different, and really good compared to the older ones and despite the flak it gets. A good and different game compared to the heritage it had. FF VIII I'm not a huge fan of personally. Don't flame me on that. The music is ok but eh. Overall, this is a really fun listen, I give you many props!
