Thank you for listening ❤️ yeah after everything the heroes have been through, the somber music really fits as they slowly unravel what's driving them forward.
Your memories brought forth this place... Here, you shall witness the truth. You have no choice. Now, go... I'm so thrilled you actually did it! This is such an underrated piece. Hearing you play it gives me chills.
Ok listening to this properly now...this is really stunning. Probably my favourite harp cover now. This is so faithful, the deep, striking bass really came through, and the melodies and flourishes were perfect
Amazing work as always! My favorite thing about Memoria of course is the music, I could listen to this theme for hours and not get tired of it. Aside from that I like that we get to battle the 4 Guardians here, been loving their designs since FF1.
Thank you thank you! Yeah I'll definitely make a longer looped version of this song. Heh it's nice you get to fight the Guardians in Memoria, since you kinda miss out on it when your party tackles all 4 simultaneously and you only get to fight 1 initially.
Excellent choice for a composition. This track doesn't get enough attention. The original midi rendering doesn't do the actual composition justice. So happy you played this.
Thank you so much!! Hah, I was worried myself about doing the original midi justice. It was somewhat of a challenge because different instruments expressed the different voices, but I used just one instrument. Anyway I like how it came out 💖
Oh man, that gave me goosebumps. I loved exploring Memoria and absorbing the haunting tunes every time I go there. Your rendition is absolutely beautiful and captures the feel of the place.
Memoria is my favorite location in FFIX. The visuals of the pre-rendered backdrops always filled me with great existential awe. The theme is also one of the best in the game as well. This sounds very good on harp. Well done!!!
That dungeon is WAY more beautiful than it needed to be. Every single background looks like a painting. It's insane. Thank you so much!!! ❤️ P.S. those card phantoms are ignored by me on each playthrough. Tee hee.
Thank you thank you 💚 and NO, you know I marched into Memoria equipped with the maximum amount of Pumice Pieces and Demon's Mail and Egoist's Armlets, who you think you're talking to!??!?!?! 😂
Yay, I was hoping you would cover Memoria! This is another one of those FF songs that was just made for the harp. You definitely did my favorite dungeon theme justice!
Hey Harpsibored, thank you for uploading more of your work. I'm a fan. A few requests of mine for Final Fantasy 9 if they're not already on your list of to-do tracks: - Freya's Theme - Rustling Forest - Marsh of the Qu Tribe - Ipsen's Castle - Oeilvert
Thank you so much!!! So, the Evil Forest song has been on my list forever. I'll definitely try to do that sometime. Interesting you're requesting Ipsen's Castle and Oeilvert but not Place to Return to Someday, hah. But the latter is also on my to-do list!
Playing the same part over and over again for four minutes? Welcome to the life of a violist 😛 This was so beautiful and atmospheric! The non-harp parts work out really well on harp, even while I was still hearing the original wind and voice parts in my head.
Thank you so much! Hahaha normally the harp isn't so repetitive but I get why that's the case for this song. It creates a sense of eternity. Glad you like how the non-harp parts translated! Part of the challenge of this song was to emulate the different voices of the melody on just one instrument without it sounding repetitive/boring.
Listening to your harp covers is always something special. Final Fantasy 9 was one of my first games I ever played and these memories combined with your harp playing is absolutely stress relief to me ♥
Thank you so much ❤️ FF9 is my favorite game of all time. I listen to the music constantly to relax too. I think these performances are just my version of stress relief hahaha
@@Harpsibored my mom got FF9 for my 6th birthday back then. She thought this Game would help me to improve my reading skills. It's also my fav Game and I still own my PS1 copy from back then x)
Excellent cover, felt very true to that feeling of mystery and uncertainty the song captures as you walk through the weird twisted world of Memoria. Great job! 👍
I love Memoria! Its concept and role in the story, along with that exquisite music! One of my favorite Final Fantasy locations. Yeah, Quina's scene is possibly the most memorable. I just love the whole vibe overall: delving deeper into the world's collective consciousness, ultimately reaching the core of all existence, and the theme of memories tying back to the ending of FF1. Great homage/reflection on the series to that point.
Yeah it's such a beautiful, conceptual way of depicting the central theme that ties everyone together within the story of FFIX. Thanks so much for listening! ❤️
Thank you so much! Interesting, I don't recall harp in the Temple of the Ancients song. I think you're thinking of the harpsichord part? Either way it's a banger 👌
Daaaang Harpsi. This was 👏🏾 STEL 👏🏾 LAR! I loved how you did your own "echoes" on certain parts of the melody. I was like, "Wait a sec, did she put an echo effect on this?" Alas, it was just you being awesome with no echo effects. Great job ❤ I'm adding this to my music playlist.
Thank you so much!!!! Yup, I just plucked over and over again, slowly getting softer haha. I really wanted to emulate those softly echoing vocals in the original track. I feel super fancy being my own echo effect. Thank you for noticing it hehe
@@Harpsibored For sure! I definitely noticed that change in dynamic with each pluck. So precise, it sounded engineered, even tho it wasn't 🎛️ Very well-done
Already know i had to check this one out! I love themes like this! Your harp is on point! This reminds me of Find Your Way from FF8. Both of which i wanted to remix at some point. Great job though, i look forward to the next.
Thank you so much!!! 💖 would love to do another FF8 song soon. I'm not sure about Find Your Way since it has a lot of chromatic changes that might be weird on the harp but we shall seee
Imagine standing at the end of the world and feeling the urge to play a subpar card game to win some cards you won't get to use anyway if you fail to save the world. Very well executed. I wasn't sure how you we're gonna be able to capture the strings and pads but you did so wonderfully. Well done!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️ I'm pleased with how it turned out. This was an interesting song to translate onto a single instrument I am less pleased with Tetra Master.
Thank you so much!!! Ugh and that was hard work too haha. It's difficult to play something very repetitive smoothly on the harp bc when you touch the same strings over and over, they make finger noises/buzzes. Anyway. Thank you! again!!
Wow, it sounds just like the original. Your covers are amazing, really appreciate the arrangement and quality. :) Please make more, can't get enough of your FF9 covers.
This was so wonderful!!! Even though I have played FF9 more than any other game and understand it better as an adult, I'm glad I was a kid when it came out so that I have these memories of the music ingrained into my mind. As soon as that first note hit I was instantly transported back 20+ years
Oh man! Now you're playing with yourself this is awesome!!!! FF9 has some of my faves I don't know where to start. A lot mate not suit harp like battle songs and Hildagarde but if you did manage to arrange something like that I'd be blown away. I'm not gonna be pushy as your choices are amazing. Zanarkand from X is a fave which I couldn't see that you had done on your channel. I'm just so glad you do what you do. I LOVE listening and watching you play ❤
Thank you so much! Yeah I haven't done To Zanarkand yet, although I played a variation of it in the FFX Ending Theme if you wanna hear. Shitty old recording, though.... ua-cam.com/video/MDNz7tpPyFo/v-deo.html
AND--I love your performance! Double harp was necessary. Even before reading your description, I thought it was impressive that you kept on task, and in sync, with that part on the right. If Memoria is a place that can manifest, then certainly Distractio is, too. You absolutely deserve an award! P.S. - The simple elegance of your silver dress and those earrings are quite fitting for this performance.
Yeah, for pieces like this that contain this very meditative, repetitive part, I find it a lot more suitable to break down into a duet to keep the momentum. Haha so this dress is actually "pistachio green" (looks very light green in person) and I'm super annoyed that it didn't translate to video. Oh well. I'm glad you think it looks nice regardless ❤️
@@Harpsiboredhuh. I'm watching again, looking right at it, and I'm still not convinced that I see even a hint of green. Too bad the pistachio doesn't show up, given what a nut you are! (Lame on purpose.) But, silver is my second favorite color; and really fits the tone of this piece, imo.
This was sincerely breathtaking to listen to. It feels like this song was made as a perfect match to the harp. Final Fantasy IX is likely my favourite videogame OST, for good reason. Would you ever one day give a go at Pandemonium A Castle Frozen in Time? It and Memoria are my favourite tracks in the game.
Thank you so much!!! 💖 FFIX is my favorite game of all time so definitely expect more FFIX music from me hehe (check back here tomorrow..). Admittedly I've never tried the Pandemonium theme on harp so I'm not sure how it'll translate, but who knows, maybe it could work
Ah, Memoria. Probably one of the best dungeons from the PSX era. Fantastically arranged, though my favorite song from IX is still You're Not Alone. Song haunted me for years after playing the game, even when I forgot what game it was from.
Thank you so much!! Ahhh You're Not Alone was gonna be my next FFIX recording (the arrangement is like 90% done ugh), but it's a little tough on my wrist so it needs to wait for a bit. I might spend the next few months doing some slightly simpler stuff. But I hope I can do it someday.
@@Harpsibored Take all the time you need to rest, relax, recuperate. While you have now given me even more reasons to look ahead to your future projects, I'm a patient man; I'll hear it when you're ready to play and upload it, and you'll never, ever see me asking you to hurry up...except in the case of maybe playing Hurry Up! from FFVII. 😂
Thank you!!! Hehe and also thank you for reminding me of this song, I knew I wanted to do it sometime and it fit perfectly with Halloween so here we are!
@@Harpsibored I imagined you breaking apart into different nucleotides in a reactor instead. Don't go too fast now, you'll cause a contaminated steam explosion!
A dark study lies amidst ancient ruins, lost to time in memoria. Dust and somber light fills the space with a air of mystery. Tomes of lost knowledge litter the room and bait your curiosity as the sound of a enchanting and haunting string melody can be heard in the distance, placating your fear of this unknown place.
Why they thought Tetra Master was the perfect content to add to the final dungeon will probably always be a mystery! Very well played and fits perfectly. I'd almost say I prefer your version to the original simply cause I prefer the softer way you play the melody compared to the original which gives it a much more haunting sound. This song reminds me alot of 'Find your Way' from FF8 as well l and if you ever cover that song I'm sure you would do as much justice to it as you have for this one. You are a clock btw. Tick Tock.
I'm seriously impressed with that natural delay you are pulling off on the left, that and the right hand job too. Seems you had a lot brewing in that head of yours. Nice job nailing it anyways. This definitely has that haunting, mysterious sound, and I like this version better than the original. Aside from the music, what I like the most about Memoria is the trippy visuals. The eye in the sky/planet's colliding. The idea itself of the place is interesting. I can appreciate some odd madness. Maybe I gave too many answers but hey, it's an interesting place. This was another top tier performance. Definitely a new favorite here. Brilliant! 👍 👍 🪽 🌟 🎶 🎵 👁 🌑💥🌑
@@Harpsibored You're welcome, and yup the overall sound quality is better in my opinion, and that bass is on point! Great choice. Diggin it, and so is everyone else I tell you hwhat! 😁

This is my fave song from the game. I adore it so much, especially where it's placed in the game. 🥰
Thank you for listening ❤️ yeah after everything the heroes have been through, the somber music really fits as they slowly unravel what's driving them forward.
I love this track, I love the place in the game, I love the ambient, I love the meaning in the story.
The perfect ending
Solid pick. This one is my second favorite. The Crystal World theme is my favorite.
One of the best songs in the series. Beautifully played
Thank you!!!
Man this is truly meditative and ethereal. It's almost like it was written on harp to begin with.
Thank you so much ❤️ well, the arpeggios from the OST were definitely written for harp. Uematsu knows his shit
This is a wonderful surprise to wake up to! And now it's in 7 playlists! I wasn't sure if you were going to do the tremolo!
Thank you so much!!! I'm glad you like my shitty trills. My non-classically trained ass tried its best.. 🤣
@@HarpsiboredYou’re funny! 😂 They definitely made the song better! 😀
Your memories brought forth this place... Here, you shall witness the truth. You have no choice. Now, go...
I'm so thrilled you actually did it! This is such an underrated piece. Hearing you play it gives me chills.
What an epic introduction. Thank you so much 💖
Ok listening to this properly now...this is really stunning. Probably my favourite harp cover now. This is so faithful, the deep, striking bass really came through, and the melodies and flourishes were perfect
Thank you so much!! It was a fun challenge to try and convey the spirit of the original song with just one instrument. I'm glad it came through 💖
Harpsibored uploaded a video 👀
It's a FF9 theme 👀👀
SHOCKER OF THE CENTURY
@@Harpsibored :P
O-M-G! My favourite last dungeon track of the whole FF series, covered by the most talented harpist!! Wonderful job, it's absolutely perfect!! ❤
Thank you so much!!! 💖 hehe had a feeling you'd like this one
@@HarpsiboredYou're welcome! It's impossible not to like Memoria as an FF9 fan! Uematsu was really at his highest level! 🤩
Your musicianship should be the gold standard for harp players! Excellent job.
Well to be perfectly honest I have doodoo harp technique that I'm currently working on fixing, but at least I'm working on it haha. Thank you!!! ❤️
Amazing work as always! My favorite thing about Memoria of course is the music, I could listen to this theme for hours and not get tired of it. Aside from that I like that we get to battle the 4 Guardians here, been loving their designs since FF1.

Memoria is my favorite location in FFIX. The visuals of the pre-rendered backdrops always filled me with great existential awe. The theme is also one of the best in the game as well.
This sounds very good on harp. Well done!!!
That dungeon is WAY more beautiful than it needed to be. Every single background looks like a painting. It's insane.
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
P.S. those card phantoms are ignored by me on each playthrough. Tee hee.
you are so talented. you capture the spirit of all of these songs so perfectly. amazing work!
Thank you so much!!! 💖
In awe of this!
You really know how to recall that nostalgic feeling into your music.
Thank you so much!! 💖
Man, you are so good. Every time you upload it's a pleasure to listen to. Thank you!!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Ahh chills, this works so well 🥰
Do you remember the first time you found the Mace of Zeus in Memoria and then killed yourself with Doomsday?
Thank you thank you 💚 and NO, you know I marched into Memoria equipped with the maximum amount of Pumice Pieces and Demon's Mail and Egoist's Armlets, who you think you're talking to!??!?!?! 😂
Yay, I was hoping you would cover Memoria! This is another one of those FF songs that was just made for the harp. You definitely did my favorite dungeon theme justice!
Thank you so much!!! 💖
Working from 8am till 11pm and I finish the day with this great piece; of one of my Fav FF stories. I'm ready to rest up now and save my game.
Ah thank you so much, glad to hear that!!! 💖 Have a great rest 🍷
Haunting how you made me go straight back to my childhood with this one. Consider me a fan. Looking forward to more FF classics.
Thank you so much! More to come 💖 I never get tired of FF music
This sounds so beautiful.
Thank you so much!!!! Means a lot from another musician! 💖
Memoria is ETERNAL and you've done it justice. I am going to totally loop this song forever btw.
I shall make an hour long version too hehe. Thank youuu 💖
And I will fall asleep to it every night , submitting to the calming dulcet tones of harpsibored and Uematsu :)@@Harpsibored
My favorite cover of yours, nailed it down to even single detail. Bravo
Hey Harpsibored, thank you for uploading more of your work. I'm a fan. A few requests of mine for Final Fantasy 9 if they're not already on your list of to-do tracks:
- Freya's Theme
- Rustling Forest
- Marsh of the Qu Tribe
- Ipsen's Castle
- Oeilvert
Thank you so much!!! So, the Evil Forest song has been on my list forever. I'll definitely try to do that sometime. Interesting you're requesting Ipsen's Castle and Oeilvert but not Place to Return to Someday, hah. But the latter is also on my to-do list!
Playing the same part over and over again for four minutes? Welcome to the life of a violist 😛

For exercises there are scales and the memoria pattern.
I like a lot that track and you made it beautiful
Thank youuuu 💖 hahaha should I implement Memoria into my warmup routine
No way! You did it!? I'm baffled. Such masterful talent.
Thanks dude!! 💖
Love the harmonics! Great arrangement. You rule!
Thank you so much!!!! 💖
sounds incredible!
Thank you! 💕
Love this so much! Keep it up, you're making so many people happy with your beautiful and nostalgic music 🎶💖
Thank you so much!! In an internet cesspool of misery, that is the goal!
Excellent cover, felt very true to that feeling of mystery and uncertainty the song captures as you walk through the weird twisted world of Memoria. Great job! 👍
Thank you so much! It's really hard to make a song both unsettling yet still soothing at the same time. I dunno how Uematsu does it.
Yaaas Queen. Love Memoria, it lends itself so well to the harp. Beautiful.
Thank you so much!! I love hearing how these FF tunes on computer harps end up sounding on actual acoustic harps.
Once again, you've done an absolutely fantastic job.
Thank you thank you 😭
Thank you so much for doing this one!
Glad you like it ❤️

This one competes with the FF7 ancient temple for best harp song I think. And likely wins. Thank you for continuing to give us these!
Thank you so much! Interesting, I don't recall harp in the Temple of the Ancients song. I think you're thinking of the harpsichord part? Either way it's a banger 👌

Thank you so much 💖 Sakaguchi is a man of culture!
Already know i had to check this one out! I love themes like this! Your harp is on point!
This reminds me of Find Your Way from FF8. Both of which i wanted to remix at some point. Great job though, i look forward to the next.
Thank you so much!!! 💖 would love to do another FF8 song soon. I'm not sure about Find Your Way since it has a lot of chromatic changes that might be weird on the harp but we shall seee
@Harpsibored
Save that one for a collab then lol *hint hint*.
Have you thought about Blue Fields?
Not at the moment. From FF8, I think next I wanna do maybe Compression of Time or Salt Flats.....still debating. Any preferences?
@@Harpsibored
Salt Flats is a favorite so i'd vote for that if i'm not too late. lol
Sorry, I already decided lol. You'll see.......
Absolutely magical, truly an underrated piece.
You played beautifully, I got goosebumps.
Thank you so much ❤️
Hauntingly beautiful, another great rendition! Can't stop listening to it.
Thank you so much ❤️
SUch a beautiful hypnotic track. THanks for covering this.
Thank you for listening!! ❤️
Oh, brilliant! Just perfectly haunting in the most excellent way!
Thank you!! ❤️✨
I'm crying, it's so beautiful. Thank you for the upload
Thank you so much 💖
I loved this dungeon so much. I would just afk to let the music play xD You nailed this and has the same feel (and chills down spine in a good way
Thank you so much!!! 💕 heh I do the same thing with FF areas that have my favorite songs.
Imagine standing at the end of the world and feeling the urge to play a subpar card game to win some cards you won't get to use anyway if you fail to save the world.
Very well executed. I wasn't sure how you we're gonna be able to capture the strings and pads but you did so wonderfully. Well done!
Thank you so much!!! ❤️ I'm pleased with how it turned out. This was an interesting song to translate onto a single instrument
I am less pleased with Tetra Master.
Thanks!
AHHH you didn't have to do that! Thank you so much!! ❤️
This is so beautiful!!! You do it so smoothly, it sounds perfect, escpetiallly those lower strings
Thank you so much!!! Ugh and that was hard work too haha. It's difficult to play something very repetitive smoothly on the harp bc when you touch the same strings over and over, they make finger noises/buzzes. Anyway. Thank you! again!!
Wow, it sounds just like the original. Your covers are amazing, really appreciate the arrangement and quality. :) Please make more, can't get enough of your FF9 covers.

Yeah, for pieces like this that contain this very meditative, repetitive part, I find it a lot more suitable to break down into a duet to keep the momentum. Haha so this dress is actually "pistachio green" (looks very light green in person) and I'm super annoyed that it didn't translate to video. Oh well. I'm glad you think it looks nice regardless ❤️
@@Harpsiboredhuh. I'm watching again, looking right at it, and I'm still not convinced that I see even a hint of green. Too bad the pistachio doesn't show up, given what a nut you are! (Lame on purpose.) But, silver is my second favorite color; and really fits the tone of this piece, imo.
Don't tell me..............is your #1 favorite color RED by any chance
@@Harpsiboredit always has been.
@@HarpsiboredUPDATE! In the right artificial light, I see the greenish tinge of your dress! It's a technological miracle!
If there was a remake this is how I'd want Memoria's theme to sound like.
Thank you 🥰 wonder if that'll be happening sometime within this century hah
This was sincerely breathtaking to listen to. It feels like this song was made as a perfect match to the harp. Final Fantasy IX is likely my favourite videogame OST, for good reason.
Would you ever one day give a go at Pandemonium A Castle Frozen in Time? It and Memoria are my favourite tracks in the game.
Thank you so much!!! 💖 FFIX is my favorite game of all time so definitely expect more FFIX music from me hehe (check back here tomorrow..). Admittedly I've never tried the Pandemonium theme on harp so I'm not sure how it'll translate, but who knows, maybe it could work
I've always loved this music and your cover is a wonderful tribute 💙
Thank you so much!!! Hope you like how it sounds on the harp ❤️
Probably my favourite end game dungeon. So many good screens… also the castle in ff8 is my second favourite end dungeon
Memoria is the most beautiful dungeon. But damn is Ultimecia's the most intimidating 🔥
Wow! Great performances.
Thank you ❤️
Thats so wonderful, thank you so much for this masterpiece
Thank you for listening ❤️
This is incredible!
Thank you Sir Kupo Nut! 💖
amazing rendition
Thank you so much 💖
Beautiful theme song wow Love it idol thanks
no waaaaaay :o mesmerizing rendition !
Thank you! Means a lot coming from another harpist ❤️
Ah, Memoria. Probably one of the best dungeons from the PSX era. Fantastically arranged, though my favorite song from IX is still You're Not Alone. Song haunted me for years after playing the game, even when I forgot what game it was from.
Thank you so much!! Ahhh You're Not Alone was gonna be my next FFIX recording (the arrangement is like 90% done ugh), but it's a little tough on my wrist so it needs to wait for a bit. I might spend the next few months doing some slightly simpler stuff. But I hope I can do it someday.
@@Harpsibored Take all the time you need to rest, relax, recuperate. While you have now given me even more reasons to look ahead to your future projects, I'm a patient man; I'll hear it when you're ready to play and upload it, and you'll never, ever see me asking you to hurry up...except in the case of maybe playing Hurry Up! from FFVII. 😂
You’re amazing! This is breathtaking! 😱
Thank you ❤️
Good lord you play the harp beautifully
Thank you so much!!! I try to pull out all the stops for FFIX 😂
well thanks for the kupo. fav video game music. you rock.
Thank you so much 💖 KWEEEEEH!
This was beautiful
Thank you ❤️
Goddess of Music!! So amazing!!!
Thank you!!! Hehe and also thank you for reminding me of this song, I knew I wanted to do it sometime and it fit perfectly with Halloween so here we are!
@@Harpsibored love your face 😉
Hopefully you'll love it even more if my Halloween costume this year is successful................!
Two Harpsiboreds!!!!!!!
Very nice song and job!
I reproduce via fission like algae
Thank you!!!
@@Harpsibored I imagined you breaking apart into different nucleotides in a reactor instead. Don't go too fast now, you'll cause a contaminated steam explosion!
You know, my favorite color is green. Maybe part of my brain has been contaminated with mako.
Really well done!
Thank you ❤️
Really nice arrangement, great work! :)
Thank you 💖
absolute perfection
Thank you! 💖
Also a hands down favorite ❤❤🫨
Glad to hear that 💖
That's perfect. Great job.
Thank you ❤️
Beautiful
Thank you 💖
A dark study lies amidst ancient ruins, lost to time in memoria. Dust and somber light fills the space with a air of mystery. Tomes of lost knowledge litter the room and bait your curiosity as the sound of a enchanting and haunting string melody can be heard in the distance, placating your fear of this unknown place.
A++++++ description of Memoria
3:48 - nope, see? even looks like you're trying to mush a bunch of spiders that are scurrying

This rules, you're awesome keep it up!
Thanks so much!! ❤️
Why they thought Tetra Master was the perfect content to add to the final dungeon will probably always be a mystery! Very well played and fits perfectly. I'd almost say I prefer your version to the original simply cause I prefer the softer way you play the melody compared to the original which gives it a much more haunting sound. This song reminds me alot of 'Find your Way' from FF8 as well l and if you ever cover that song I'm sure you would do as much justice to it as you have for this one.
You are a clock btw. Tick Tock.
Thank you so much!!!! 😭

Screw Tetra Master.
I'm seriously impressed with that natural delay you are pulling off on the left, that and the right hand job too. Seems you had a lot brewing in that head of yours. Nice job nailing it anyways. This definitely has that haunting, mysterious sound, and I like this version better than the original. Aside from the music, what I like the most about Memoria is the trippy visuals. The eye in the sky/planet's colliding. The idea itself of the place is interesting. I can appreciate some odd madness. Maybe I gave too many answers but hey, it's an interesting place. This was another top tier performance. Definitely a new favorite here. Brilliant! 👍 👍 🪽 🌟 🎶 🎵 👁 🌑💥🌑
Thank you so much 💖 hah the planets colliding is one of my favorite rooms. So trippy.
@@Harpsibored You're welcome, and thank YOU! I'm glad we all get to benefit from that Harp upgrade of yours. 😆😁 🎶
Hehe, you notice the difference in sound? This one's a lot deeper IMO. Thank youuuuuu
@@Harpsibored You're welcome, and yup the overall sound quality is better in my opinion, and that bass is on point! Great choice. Diggin it, and so is everyone else I tell you hwhat! 😁
Excellent Cover.
Thank you 💖
@@Harpsibored You’re welcome.
thats nasty good
I can see your love in it ❤
Thank you 😭 I have a LOT of love for FFIX 💖
I'll watch you play forever :')
Thank you 💖 this is one of the few songs I ended with a fade out, so I guess the implication is that I'm just sitting there playing forever. Hah.
My second favorite song from the game. I actually really like the Crystal World theme..because it reminds me of a Song by The Tea Party.
Is the Crystal World your first favorite? If so that's pretty unique haha. Most of us are stans for Melodies of Life/Not Alone/Roses of May/etc.
@Harpsibored Yes I consider that and Dark Messenger to be tied for 1 from this game.
@@Harpsibored don't mean to toot my own horn but I'm kind of a unique individual. 😅💪⚓🌊
so beautiful ❤️
Thank you ❤️
let's fucking GO
❤️🤘
