Im crying i am fucking crying it feels as if Tidus and Yuna finally gotten married and everyone in spira is watching
Praise be to Yevon.
Let's play some blitzball
I wanna be a blitzball
I love how video games, this modern 'blight' on young peope has fuelled a new wave of passion for classical and neoclassical music. I would never have touched a piano if it weren't for Final Fantasy and would have not have joined the orchestra, which opened me up to so many composers that hugely influenced those responsible for my favourite game and movie soundtracks.
love this comment
Hey! How are you i am a big fan of final fantasy as well for many years since final fantasy 6 and 7 and so on, i love the music and i am a trumpet player and piano as well as a singer too.
Wonder how many people touched a saxaphone after Cowboy Bebop?
This is MAJESTIC. And that word should not be thrown around casually. This is ACTUALLY stunning to watch and listen to.
i am a handbell teammember in HongKong. i love this song and the perform was so amazing!!!
Uematsu is a genius and I love that you did this. Looks like it takes a lot a coordination and effort.
Wonderful! You just married two major loves of my life! My dad's retired theatre organist and I grew up crawling around pipe organs (including the one he built in our basement...). FFX is one of my favorite games not only because of the story but the musical themes. I have the soundtrack on my iPod always. This was wonderful and I can't wait to share it with both my dad and my son (who loves the game as much as I do!). Thanks!
Visiting this vid again after few years...
This rendition feels like the ending theme when the main characters reunite 1000 years after the game timeline...so much unspoken emotions blended in the eternal peace
Final Fantasy music, an organ, AND handbells? So much nerdy goodness in one place!
I love the slow tempo of this because that combined with the clear, pure tone of the handbells gives it a melancholic, elegiac feeling. Actual tears in my eyes.
dam that was fucking epic.
i'm in the wesley bell ringers of salt lake city and it's cool to see two guys play that many bells, props to you guys, you're awesome.
The harmonies were on point and beautiful.
My father always say "Where ever you found that tool, put it back where you found it when you finished with it." XD
Love this, great result. Can't help but feel the character of the video presentation itself predates Final Fantasy I, let alone Final Fantasy X though! :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
It's slower tempo makes it feel a lot sadder than I was expecting. Brilliant work!
I do not care what it gets played on.
To Zanarkand is always a banger.
God fucking damnit it, my feels.
Won't lie :) that was pretty fantastic :) give the song a new quality :) a more of a dreamy beauty :) Amazing :D
This is the most beautiful version of To Zanarkand I've ever listened to and it was amazing to watch such synchronization. My nose started to tingle because I almost cried a little. It's unbelievable this doesn't have a million views.
I TOTALLY AGREE!! THIS SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST A MILLION VIEWS!
Jim Yam Me too! It gives you this magic feeling of Tidus and Yuna looking at the moonlight and dreaming of the day all the trouble with Sin will end and them being together at last.
Nemesis100000000 yup! sounds about right! ffx for life!!
PineappleSkewer me too but I'm crying.
I play the organ as at my job as I work in a church. I want to learn this!!!! Also I'm a handbell director for the church. I think I wanna see if I could pull together a video game concert and this piece would just add to my program!
Such a clear sound
@Halladay32 It is played in a FORMER church, it is decommissioned, it is now a Recital Hall.
Dude, how much practice does this need :O Great job!
About 3 months of practice twice a week. And a healthy love for FFX. :)
Insert someone looking at the top of mountain weilding a Sword and there you go
なんて美しいのか…
ありがとう
This is so much better than the original Zanarkand.
@Drumstyx24 Thanks. I started bells in Utah Valley Handbell Ringers. I think we played in some mass rings with you guys. Lynn
Not gonna like that was pretty rediculas and amazing
Ooooo that’s so good it tickles🔥🔥🔥
This reminds me of FFIX Gizamaluke Grotto where you have to ring bells to open doors. :) The song is very beautiful too.
+AceCrusaider lol I was thinking the samething.
This is absolutely amazing don't get me wrong, but the pace is too slow - for understandable reasons! Put the video to speed 1.5x and it sounds so much more like it should :)
Peter Leblanc 1.5x speed does match the original tempo. And while it does sound great at that speed, I think the slower tempo works with these instruments to bring a more ethereal tone to the entire piece. It really is a sad song when you think about it, and that's something we were trying to emphasize through this performance. It's super fun to play fast, though!
It's ridiculous how close to correct it is when played 1.5x
I knew it sounded off. I can't blame em for slowing it down lol. They looked to be struggling at the slower speed.
You're right, it matches, but it makes for a worse rendition and not just for the audio imperfections
Stunning! This is amazing. 0_0
@internationalartists Ah awesome. So you can hold a few at the same time and angle them to make a chord. How interesting :) Thanks for answering my question, I had never seen this kind of thing before.
Do the bells only ring in one direction? So that you have to hold them at the right angle for them to ring? If not how do they hold more than one and not ring all of them at the same time. Also, awesome co-ordination
i can not find the words to describe such beauty
Legend has it behind the organ thats not being played is a door that leads to the chamber of the fayth. Only Guardians can go, but im sure no guardian.
Do you have more covers of any final fantasy music of Nobuo Umematsu ?
If this was played at church, that would be a religion I could agree on!
@Halladay32 Oddly enough, that's one of the minor reasons I really tried to clear my schedule to perform it on that day.
The major reason being wanting to really play that song >.>
Very impressive! Love the clean sound from the bells :)
you guys did an excellent job... bravo
Damn those guys make handbells look cool.
I don't know if this was an attempt to drum up interest in your productions or not, but it's certainly had that effect. It's unfortunate that a lot of your other pieces here have so few views comparatively, but I can tell you that you'll certainly find a very appreciative audience if you continue to produce moving game inspired pieces like this one.
First Reaction: This is one of my favorite songs!
Second Reaction: Wow, I really have to get this sheet music- I love handbells and the organ!
Third Reaction: THIS WAS DONE AT MY OLD CHURCH!!
Fourth Reaction: Wow, I really miss that organ.
Fifth Reaction: I would go through great lengths to get the sheet music
Thanks for posting these great videos! :)
Lovely
METAL.
+solidus311 fvcking brvtal!
LOL just epic
It's cool how they manage to shake their hand with two bells in it but only ring one at a time. Sounds sooo nice XD
I would pay for a good quality recording of this. This is absolutely mesmerizing.
I thought it was gonna sound awful at first but I'm glad it proved me wrong
Amazing performance! I really love this song and it sounds even more emotional with this instrumentation
its no supprise that there's no dislikes for this vid
Watch on 1.5 or 2 times speed.
+SergeofBIBEK at 2x, it looks hilarious somehow.
1.75 is better
I like ×1.5times speed.
sick!
Beautiful, just fucking beautiful
If this piece is on sale on iTune, I gonna buy it!
I love how dramatic handbells have to be played.
This is such an awesome version of this song ='3 . Nice job you guys ;D !
Should had more liked.. this guys are talented..👍
Those bells are a logistical nightmare.
This is so cool!
Amazing how they get the bell notes exactly right.
I'm speechless right now... So beautiful
Holy shit, this is AMAZING!!!!
Now this was an awesome praise to the yevon
what a nice guy the organ dude seems to be =D
Now let's have the battle theme
I feel mean mentioning it but the way the bell ringers gyrate, its like they are doing the slow motion chacha
Well, solo handbell ringing IS like a dance, so you aren't far off...
I'd have butchered it
Can you guys please do 'Dreams of a Shore Bordering Another World'?
That is a beautiful song, we would need to check with the composers to see if it is ok, and would have to arrange it.
Is that The Governor and his sidekick?
Wow O.o Skilled or what!
@Golzernurf You got it right. They only ring one direction - but front and back in that direction. If we put the bells at right angles in the hands, then you just turn the hand to just ring one bell. If you turn your hand to a 45 degree angle, you can ring both.
this has been epically epic
beautiful！amusing！
Wow is all i can say.
good sound i like it
Brilliant, just perfect :). Just wishIi could see what the organist is playing so I can play that soft intro at the beginning of the song. *Like*
The change in atmosphere is insane!
Pray Yevon :D ;)
Oh my god !...
See, I don't go to church, but if all churches played video game music like these, I'd probably start going every Sunday.
This is so beautiful :D Great job!~
O.O WOW *.*
omg AMAZING!!!!!
Wow, that was beautiful! I'd love to play that sometime.
@internationalartists: there's a gentleman named Danny Lyons who has just recently figured out how to do 8-in-hand.
OMG!!!!!!!!
Van halen now plx
play at X2
oh.my.god.
@Golzernurf The most I have seen is 3 bells in one hand, so you could theoretically do a 6 note chord. But if you want to see a REALLY good bell choir, check out our Kiriku videos in our video list. They are an amazing group.
WOOWWWW :D
amazing
AMAZING *--*
Brilliant!
he still upload videos
