Dedicated to the greatest man that ever existed in a video game... Captain Cid Highwind. No matter how stressful things got, he never lost sight of his dream. See you in the remake, my hero.
Have you played Rebirth? I think he was in professional mode when he started helping the party so I can’t wait to see his off the clock personality in part 3. Replaying the OG again after Rebirth has made me appreciate Cid a whole lot more tbh.
Lumbersnacks82 Totally agree, I'm not into shitty orchestrals that all sound the same which we get in every single moderm game. We need soulful, passionate metal in our games.
I had to come here and pay my respects. This song has lived on my music library for years and it is one of the most uplifting and powerful songs I have ever heard. The grand finale at around 2:42 is musical greatness. This is everything a remix should be, taking an amazing tune and just making it better.
Very much appreciate your comment 🙏 I love the original and when I tackled this arrangement I was hesitant because I hadn't experimented much with this style at the time, and I wanted to do it justice. Now I can look back and feel pretty happy with how it turned out, especially knowing other fans also dig what I did with it :)
While he was abusive and a foul mouthed sailor he was endearing in the greatest way with the most epic theme, 2nd only to the tears of seto the great warrior. Cid thank you for your contribution to space, and for being the reason everyone calls me captain, and to you fine sir, thank you for an amazing tribute cover and rendition of an iconic and masterful theme from a beloved game of my childhood and even current life
I'm 26 yo and always cry when i hear that song. Thanks for great cover. I just found You channel few minutes ago, but definitly Your covers are the best. In my opinion You beat TheOnlyDeerAlive and ToxicxEternity what I thought is impossible.
Always love all of your covers. ANd funny that I ran across this... I was just listening through my mp3 list and heard "Evil Messenger" from Final Fantasy 9 and thought: "Man I really wish someone would make a metal cover of this on youtube." Then I hopped on youtube and here's a new Final Fantasy cover! Though the cover I still want to hear done the most is the Saturos and Menardi theme from Golden Sun. Not the battle theme... but the "cutscene" one. Great as always though!
+Ferdk Does it ever leave a dark residue on your fingers or strings? Ive been using an original for weeks and its still leaving my fingers and strings filthy. Wondering if that's common or if I just got a bad one.
+funknotik I've been doing tabs for all my new videos for the people that support me on Patreon (patreon.com/ferdk). Sadly, I launched my Patreon pretty recently so it was after I made this cover :/ I do however offer the option to request tabs for any one song I've ever made as a bonus incentive for the $10 tier (which also gets you a backing track for said song and a request for any vgm song for me to cover). For the $5 tier you get tabs&backing tracks for all my future songs and all the songs I've made since Spider Dance from Undertale (those are all already available on my patreon page). Off the top of my head I think those are: -Spider Dance (Undertale) -Young Nobleman of Darkness (Castlevania: Curse of Darkness) -Battle Against a True Hero (Undertale) -Teddy (To The Moon) -Hopes and Dreams/Save The World (Undertale) -Meridian Dance (Secret of Mana)

He just wanted his tea
Since I was a child, he's my best videogame character.

Guys, you need to sit your ass down, listen to this awesome cover and drink your goddamn TEA!!!
+DJAB87 #&@!
DJAB87 LOLOLOLOLOL
Excuse me as I listen to this while drinking my god damn tea.
I made myself a cup of tea before watching this. Now it's time.
Can i have some with sugar. Oh! And don't forget the lard
They need to get Ferdk in on the HD remake. Just sayin!

Such emotion put into this one... love it.
+Nedoxu Such*?
diegoarthur apparently. So nice that google plus doesn't let me edit the post from this window.
***** I stopped being lazy and fixed it.
This has always been my favorite song from this game. Great job!
Really amazing remix of Cids theme. Really catches the awesomeness of the original theme but gives the little extra epicness in it.
All foul mouthed, golden hearted people salute to this theme and the Captain!
This is so great. Then came 2:41 and blew me straight away.
the most epic character theme in the game
ahh mah gaw....i was not ready at 2:41 pure awesomness :o
jinakuo Me neither, despite your warning. The sheer feels.

One of the best aproaches I've ever heard of this song. Greetings from a fellow mexican musician, amigo.

Ambition and determination come together as one in Cid's theme, and your cover soars bravely and triumphantly. Pardon my flowery compliment. XD

Cid Highwind would approve.
Which Dragon's Heart pick do you use?
+Joe Nitrate mostly the "original" one for all my leads and rhythms. Sometimes the Pure for clean guitar stuff or if I need a warmer tone :)
+Ferdk Does it ever leave a dark residue on your fingers or strings? Ive been using an original for weeks and its still leaving my fingers and strings filthy. Wondering if that's common or if I just got a bad one.
uh that's weird! I never had that problem, maybe you got a bad one :/
Well made man! Thanks!~
gj as always
This is awesome have you considered doing tabs for some of these? I would buy some, I'm sure other would too.
