I can't believe I just found this. Final Fantasy VI was my second Final Fantasy game, my first being VII. VI holds a special place in my heart, and while VII was good, VI is the one that made me love the series. All the themes, both narratively and musically were just amazing.
When I see videos of seniors with dementia singing tunes in languages from their childhoods. I can't help imagine that Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc will come back to me in my 80s It's rare that a franchise's music creates such lasting memories. The amount of talent Square-Enix packed into a 16 bit platform is absurd. They brought Japanese creative culture into a generation of young minds. Borrowing mythological references from cultures throughout history, to build the fantasy world. This collection you've made is a huge accomplishment!
This is great thank you for sharing! My grandmother has Alzheimer’s and whenever I play familiar songs for her, she remembers all the words and sings along. I think you’re right that we will always remember these themes no matter what :)
Let's hope we won't get any form of dementia... :-) Your thoughts may sound romantic, but there is nothing worse than being dead and alive at the same time.
@@iacoposbrolli2393 To be honest, I've always wondered about that. Indeed, dementia is terrible for the loved ones, but what about the one with dementia? I know that at some point they become aware of their decline and that coming to terms with that is terrible, but once they've lost all memories, I've always wondered whether that's torture or not. I'm probably very naive, but I always thought not being aware of dying is a blessing in disguise. I'd certainly prefer it to having cancer and knowing I only have a few weeks to live. Am I being too naive?
It truly is remarkable how the Japanese developers took these influences from western (and other parts of the world) classical music, literary works, movies, paintings, folk tales, historic lore and so forth and let them blend with their own culture to create this synergy and perfect symbiosis of art that just slays you emotionally
@@cavemanbenWhatever it is, it's a crime he said. I think what he was trying to do was express a heightened appreciation for it, and feels that wasn't represented by others to his liking. So he pulled out a strong phrase he's heard used before.
If you didn't play this as a child or teenager you might not understand just how powerful it was. FF4 and FF6 ran through my psyche like a freight train and I've never been the same. Nothing has ever touched me like that before or since.
I always loved the Magitek Research Facility scene. The gameplay itself, and the score are both great. I can't quite figure what a Piano arrangement might sound like. Guess in a about 40 minutes I get to find out!
I give that to Chrono Cross, but I certainly don't begrudge you your opinion. This game/score was the start of my enthusiastic love of video game music, and that of Nobuo Uematsu. His legacy is an incredible one. He and Johnny Williams (and a few others) wrote the score to my childhood.
@@herbsuperb6034 Chrono Cross is still in my backlog, but I can't wait to play it! Agreed that Uematsu and Williams belong in the same sentence when it comes to GOAT composers. Cheers.
I really don't know what to say, Kara. For real. This is certainly one of the most impressive things I have seen on UA-cam. I have been following your channel for YEARS and this is probably you best work to date. Congratulations for such an endeavor, your talent and hard work is an inspiration to us! I'm really really happy for seeing someone put such an effort in songs that mean so much to me and other people. Take care and stay wel!
agreed even seeing that you'd done the whole soundtrack from beginning to end Kara left me flabbergasted. I might need to become a patreon just out of sheer respect for the achievement, and I've never done that for ANYONE before
The full FFVI soundtrack, with the plushies all over the piano AND cosplaying as Terra... this is undeniably the cream of the crop on UA-cam!! I'd give it a million likes if I could. *o*
Listening to this is like therapy for me. Playing FF6 has gotten me through some really dark times. Thank you for making this; it’s refreshing to hear, and you have played so seamlessly the whole time it’s uncanny how talented you are.
I’m really still too emotional from reliving so many great memories through music, that was so beautifully done. Thank you so much Kara for putting in the work to put that together. FFVI was such a great game, the past two hours were really just magical.
"It's the type of track you can just leave on in the background while you clean house or work or do school." I completely disagree. This needs to be astutely listened to as the work you've done here is absolutely sublime. Do not sell yourself short for the quality of performance and accomplishment here. This coming from someone that owns the original FF6 OST, is a fellow musician and knows these tracks inside and out and has listened to the OST in its entirety at least twenty times. Absolutely incredibly well done.
No one: Forever Rachel: cry now But seriously... I was minding my own business working and listening. Forever Rachel starts, work stops and a solemn ear is turned. The great love story of FFVI is remembered. every. time.
Incredible how this takes us all back to a time of great joy, no matter what adversities we may have been facing at this time. When we were filled with youth and innocence.
what a nostalgia trip! so happy to see FFVI getting so much love even after so many years! a project to be proud of for sure :) hope similar concerts follow!
This is the kind of thing that is only done once in a lifetime. Decades come and go... and we don't see anything like this since 1994. Until you were born Kara and for some reason beautifully repeated what no one else did before Nobuo Uematsu. No words to express how much you blew my heart with your virtuous effort and your love for these songs immortalized in the hearts of those who played this game Kara. I want you to know that your video will echo for eternity. 1:05:41 it chills me
Amazing! I can't believe I'm only just now seeing this. Probably my favorite video game of all time. This game gave me the feels when I was playing it and your performance sent me right back to them. Thanks so much for sharing.
I discovered this channel by accident earlier this year, and I’m just sad I didn’t find it sooner. FF6 is my favorite game ever, and to hear the music realized like this is just astounding. Thank you!
You... you arranged it so you placed the pieces roughly in the order you'd encounter them in an actual playthrough of the game! Like... setting aside the brilliance of the performance itself and the amazing skill and dedication to actually play all this, you also arrange it in a way that you'd naturally encounter it as you play through the game. Even to the point of spotting that in this theoretical playthrough, when the party splits, you follow Sabin first, then Locke, then Terra, before everyone gets back together. It's just... my mind is completely blown away by your dedication to this rendition. You know, there was an official piano arrangement of like a dozen pieces? Yours is definitively better, plus it contains virtually every song in the entire game. I stand in awe of your skill and dedication.
Thank you for your performance. FF VI has always been my favorite FF game. Such a great story, the character development was great, and of course, the music was just so good. Even for todays standards.
Holy Moses, I got linked to the Dancing Mad video and wondered if the nice piano lady might have other FFVI covers. Turns out that yes, she does in fact have all the covers. Amazing effort.
Thank you for recording this! My favorite soundtrack of all time from my favorite game of all time played with such mastery and sensitivity is a real treat!
I just stumbled on this, live, while looking for some background music from my favorite game of all time. Talk about serendipity! You play beautifully. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your work.
I can't put into words how amazing and wonderful this is, but what I can do is say that you have "Searching for Friends" in the proper order. The official soundtrack (even the old Doremi sheet music book) puts "Searching" before "Epitaph", but in the game, "Searching" adds an uplifting feeling to the bittersweet "Epitaph" of Setzer's past, and the game itself gets its first glimmer of hope when the ship rises from the sea with this song ushering it along. It's such a natural progression from "Epitaph" to "Searching for Friends", yet they always put it out of order. I probably sound more daft than Kefka, but thank you :) You did such a beautiful thing here! *EDIT* Also on Spotify, I can play them back to back for the perfect transition from "Epitaph" into "Searching for Friends" :D
I love that you shared this! I didn't actually order the sheets, I had someone fix a few of them and put them in the proper order. Also got some advice from a few other followers, it was a joint effort. Many of them are also placed where they appeared in the game when I actually played it on stream :) so glad I got it right!
There isn’t a like button large enough for a video of this caliber. I’ve only gotten through the first half, but this is incredible. You’ve done an incredible job with one of the best soundtracks of all time. This is phenomenal. I also like the decorations. Particularly the pug (tonberry) and Ultros. I’ll definitely be coming back to this video to listen to this while I work or just want to think or space out. Cheers.
You gave this album the respect it deserved. Was way ahead of its time for SNES music. Your piano playing is beautiful. Still one of the best soundtracks for a video game. I love how your dressed as Relm. I would love to hear your version of Zozo. You should be doing live shows!
This soundtrack really takes you on a journey. I'd forgotten how beautiful it was. Kara is playing it to perfection. She's getting the mood right with every song. Astounding work. Absolutely brilliant playing.
Brava! Especially The Decisive Battle, Aria di Mezzo Carattere, Dark World, Dancing Mad (goosebumps on the final chord), and the Prelude (goosebumps and tears). This was perfect for a Sunday morning, thank you!
Only part way through and already on the edge of tears (I'll hear the whole thing in time). This is the soundtrack of my early childhood. As a pianist I absolutely adore the arrangements and especially your performance of them. Also so cool to hear piano arrangements of the less-covered songs. Bravo x1000 and thank you!!! 😅😭
Kara, if you have a moment to answer - for this video, were you reading from “Final Fantasy VI Original Sound Version Piano Solo Sheet Music”? I’m hoping yes because I love these arrangements, and I’m thinking of investing in a copy! All the best 🙏
Thank you for this! FFVI has some of the most emotionally driven music ever put into a game. Love the Terra get up, too. She is one of my all time favorite game characters. Just need your hair in a green ponytail.
@@KaraComparetto have you heard RigorMortis999's arrangement of Dancing Mad? He really puts in work. I'm pretty sure he makes his sheet music free, too
They only had her sprites hair colored green because they wanted to differentiate her within game from the kther blonde characters. Thats why all of her art was blonde or white haired but her sprite hair was green. I've also read that they wanted to make her hair white but then the hard lines didnt look right in the pixelation. But i don't believe that because she's all white in esper mode and still look rad af. The first part is long known fact thought.
Thank you for this (again) amazing piece, Final Fantasy VI has one of the best soundtrack of the video game history and deserve it so much. Thank you for your passion and dedication Kara 👍♥️
What Nobou Uematsu was able to do with the SNES sound hardware was like creating the Sistine with a box of crayons.

When I see videos of seniors with dementia singing tunes in languages from their childhoods. I can't help imagine that Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc will come back to me in my 80s
It's rare that a franchise's music creates such lasting memories. The amount of talent Square-Enix packed into a 16 bit platform is absurd.

Terra's Theme. my absolute favorite. How beautiful. 💕
If you didn't play this as a child or teenager you might not understand just how powerful it was. FF4 and FF6 ran through my psyche like a freight train and I've never been the same. Nothing has ever touched me like that before or since.
kids run through the city, celes' theme, searching for friends, every battle theme, so much to be excited for!
I always loved the Magitek Research Facility scene. The gameplay itself, and the score are both great. I can't quite figure what a Piano arrangement might sound like. Guess in a about 40 minutes I get to find out!
What a performance. What a soundtrack. What a game.
The WHOLE soundtrack?! NICE! Can't wait to play this over and over again during my work day!
Right!! .. There is no other game soundtrack that makes my life happy, more than FF6 🎶🎵🔥🎹
The whole soundtrack... including the rare gem of a song magnificently titled, "What?"
Right there with you. Been playing this every day while working for the past week. This is just too amazing!
I deffinately play it often while i work. Nothing like a soundtrack from the childhood while working to get you through the day
"I'll just listen to one more song" led me to listening to the entire thing start to finish! 🤣
Amazing work. Loved it!
Hahaha this made me smile!
@@KaraComparetto Please do this for Secret of Mana! At least one song.
Haha same! How can you stop?!
I can't believe quality performances like this are on UA-cam. Truly we live in a golden age :)
For real! This is the kind of quality i feel like you normally have to pay for

lol agreed there are so many different themes and liet motifs for the various characters and they all come together in the end in a wagnerian fashion.
@@herbsuperb6034 FF6 music is better than Chrono Cross by a good margin. Chrono Trigger has better music as well IMO.
@@yokonakajima75 I love all three. I certainly don't begrudge you that opinion. Honestly, I think Final Fantasy Tactics is better than all three :-).
First time I’ve ever "set a reminder" on UA-cam... can’t wait to hear it!!!
Same!
Same!!!
Same
Same here
You guys don’t know how happy this makes me!! 😂
The theme to Narshe sounds amazing on piano. Definitely feels way more night club jazzy
Finally. The best FF gets some love. Now for the 3d remake that it's deserved for over a decade.
I agreeeee!
I really want a 3D remake but I also don't want it to suck...
Personally I think a good TV serie would be the way to go for the older FF
The best is ffvii. Cloud is just better.

I just realized that you're wearing a Terra Branford outfit. Love the attention to detail!
I’m really still too emotional from reliving so many great memories through music, that was so beautifully done. Thank you so much Kara for putting in the work to put that together. FFVI was such a great game, the past two hours were really just magical.

What a feast this is - the love for the original soundtrack is really palpable. 'Forever Rachel' in particular, while brief, is just devastating.
Forever Rachel always hits. Even my mom, no fan of video games, overheard the music during that scene and was like, "What is this music called?"

@@KaraComparetto have you heard RigorMortis999's arrangement of Dancing Mad? He really puts in work. I'm pretty sure he makes his sheet music free, too
They only had her sprites hair colored green because they wanted to differentiate her within game from the kther blonde characters. Thats why all of her art was blonde or white haired but her sprite hair was green. I've also read that they wanted to make her hair white but then the hard lines didnt look right in the pixelation. But i don't believe that because she's all white in esper mode and still look rad af. The first part is long known fact thought.
taking a nice trip down nostalgia lane with this lovely performance.
A beautiful piano cover of one of the greatest video game OSTs of all time... truly a masterpiece-both the OG and your cover!
Final Fantasy VI is my favorite game / sound track of all time, this is amazing.
Ya never disappoint Kara! This is incredible!
Ah....those jazzy, melancholy notes of the Narshe Mines....such memories of my first time playing FFVI...
This is like, history in the making Kara! Congratulations on this!!
It is a fight between this and the Crono Trigger soundtrack , both are great renditions !
I've been super excited about this ever since I saw the announcement!
I have listened to this video in its entirety multiple times and it never gets old. Such amazing piano playing that stays true to the OST.
Thank you for this (again) amazing piece, Final Fantasy VI has one of the best soundtrack of the video game history and deserve it so much. Thank you for your passion and dedication Kara 👍♥️
Realm’s theme was made for piano. Gorgeous 😍
This is insane and incredible! What a soundtrack and performance!
Started playing again and stumbled upon this❤️
