don't worry it's never too late to learn!! i started playing piano for 3 months now. and i am 20 years old! but i never get tired of playing.. especially when you're matured enough to appreciate beautiful songs.. it can be more fun to play the piano once again.
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was 9 years and it made me cry, because Final Fantasy means a lot me.13 years later, in 2020, I'm still in love with the way you play the piano. Thank you so much for this masterpiece. xoxo from México.
It has been a while since my first playthrough of Final Fantasy X. It's what really brought me into gaming and became so passionate for music. To Zanarkand was the first song I learned on piano and has a special place in my heart. A few years late, Final Fantasy X-2 comes out and this beautiful arrangement came out on UA-cam. It resonated so much into my soul at that time. Now, 17 years later, I watch streamers play FFX and FFX-2 for the first time and I'm reminded of the beautiful music. Then, I remember this wonderful gem. Thank you for the memories and the wave of nostalgia, Arkton! Whatever you're doing now, I wish you the best and thanks for the memories this arrangement has created for me.
Thank you very much =) Well, everyone has his own taste and understanding of music. For me, Final Fantasy is the best music I have ever heard, and I'm glad if I can show people these wonderful songs.
I've been coming on youtube just to listen to this piece and today i realized that i could just download your mp3 lol! I think it's great you are sharing your wonderful talent and music so we can all enjoy! Thanks Arkton!
Ahhhhhh This is like the 100th time I've listened to this it's just so good! You play it absolutely perfectly! I'm learning this song atm too but I doubt I'll ever be able to play it as beautifully as you do Hats off to you Arkton
About a year ago, I watched this video and was inspired to really do something with the piano. From that point on, I took piano seriously and this was the first "Real" song I learned to play. Real as in I felt each note that was being played. Up until now, I've learned many new songs including most of what you have played so far and so for that, I thank you Arkton. You inspired me. Dang it I thought my thoughtful reflection would use up the entire character count! Well this would do! =)!
Thank you =) Sorry, I have recently been busy with concerts and final exams, and so it will be throughout June. My planned pieces will therefore take a while, and even more time will take the unplanned like Calm Lands =)
amazing arkton. i love listen to all your vids. this particular song has got me through a rough patch. great to hear such a heart felt version of it. keep up the good work man!
Beautiful, as always! You're really one of the better "Final Fantasy Pianists" on UA-cam (there are so many of them nowadays). Your timing is great, the feeling you put into the song is there and the sound quality of your videos is also very nice.
You were the first pianist that i saw on youtube. It was such a special moment to me that i had to learn to play just in order to make a video like yours. Finally, today, i have uploaded my version of this theme, so i just wanted to say thank you for inspire me. Greetings, my friend.
So beautiful and inspiring! Actually FF-2 was the first start of my whole final fantasy stories. After finished, I went back to play final fantasy X Lolz then cry a river for a whole day Lolz
Thank you very very much! It means a lot to me. Concerning the quality: I try to get the best possible out of my digital piano ^^ I have already spent many hours in the past resolving problems with transmitting the audio from the piano, but I think it was worth the work :)
Wow, I'm amazed what happened here while I was away on holidays! Featured on UA-cam Italia and España! THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS! I really appreciate it! I have however a hard time to understand Italian and Spanish, but I'll try =) Thank you for featuring me!!
I learnt a different version of this song originally but seeing this video made me learn the piano collections version. Very very well played that's an awesome talent you have there :)
Cant believe how old this video is. Time just flies! Nevertheless, this is the most beautiful version of this song ive ever heard. Well done! Still shocking to me why this song isnt usually ranked in all time best FF songs....
this is actually one of the nicest piano pieces i know, and i think you're one of the best pianists ive heard, i mean i can play piano but not like this =D .... not many other people on youtube can play it this well ..... i just love final fantasy and its music lol ...... WOW *_*
Sounds like this makes us "flash" about all the good things and all the good people we have met so far; thus, tears may come down our cheeks Beautiful! I love FFx & FFx-2
in one word; Wow. in more than one word; You are totally amazing. I put this video on my iPod, and I listen to it many times. Really awesome. Wish I could do this!
awesomeness. your dynamic rockz the world and your tempo is just perfect. the song flow to my ear so smoothly. now u make me miss my piano even more D: but anyway, thx for awakening my passion of piano. ^^
Your playing is superb there is no disputing that I just wish I could find more people who could play like you who post videos on youtube because I'm always searching for songs to add to my playlist but I suppose I shouldn't be such a critic considering people put alot of time and effort into their work and then offer it up to the public to get some perspective.
wooooooooooooo!!! it's great!!! congratulations!! ^w^... fantastic, really wonderful!! i loved it... thank for the videos and for you talent, god bless your talent!!
I'm currently trying to learn that piece but the arrangement was done by Riulyn... Thx for uploading! your amazing playing encouraged me to play like you ^_^

13 years. Arkton, 13 years. And this is still a beloved interpretation. Idk if you still operate this channel, but if you do, I freaking love you! :)
Definitely play the piano again! I'm always sorry to hear that someone stops playing an instrument.
I'm glad to hear you like my performance =)
Still beautiful after all these years. Thanks for still being here!
2019 , anyone ? Can’t get over the way Arkton plays this song 💕👏
brah i still watch this, ten years later
Toan Nguyen same
don't worry it's never too late to learn!! i started playing piano for 3 months now. and i am 20 years old! but i never get tired of playing.. especially when you're matured enough to appreciate beautiful songs.. it can be more fun to play the piano once again.
Thank you!
I played keyboard 11 years and have been playing the piano now for 3/4 a year. That means I had ~5 years more practice, so don't worry =)
I remember the first time I heard this song. I was 9 years and it made me cry, because Final Fantasy means a lot me.13 years later, in 2020, I'm still in love with the way you play the piano. Thank you so much for this masterpiece.

Arkton, you might as well do a HD remaster of this :D
Yes! That's an awesome idea.
Please do an HD remaster.
Yeah Thats a good idea... its been 13yrs since it was uploaded but still im listening to this

This is beautiful. Your playing incorporates all of the emotion from the original and then some. Please keep playing.
so happy you included the word emotion in there. you absolutely need that to play a song like this that well with heart.
Thanks for telling me =) I'm very glad that I could inspire you this way!
2023 and I’m still here listening to this masterpiece cover ❤
Thank you very much =)
Well, everyone has his own taste and understanding of music. For me, Final Fantasy is the best music I have ever heard, and I'm glad if I can show people these wonderful songs.
i can feel alot of emotions in this song and the way ur playing it.

I've been coming on youtube just to listen to this piece and today i realized that i could just download your mp3 lol! I think it's great you are sharing your wonderful talent and music so we can all enjoy! Thanks Arkton!
Oh my goodness........you made this feel so heartfelt. I felt the swarm of poetic emotion swell within my very being! Bravo ma cheri!
Happy 20th anniversary to X-2, I had to come and listen to my favorite piano cover of all time for the occasion ❤

I was looking up this song so I could show my friend this song, and you play it wonderfully! Good job!
Oh man the transition at 3:04 is so subtle and smooth. Amazing!! Your great!!! Keep up this work!
Arkton, you've done it again! Simply amazing. Keep up the good work.
I been playing the piano ever since i can remember, and I still can't play anything like this. This is amazing, i am so envious. Great job!!!
amazing arkton. i love listen to all your vids. this particular song has got me through a rough patch. great to hear such a heart felt version of it. keep up the good work man!
Beautiful, as always! You're really one of the better "Final Fantasy Pianists" on UA-cam (there are so many of them nowadays). Your timing is great, the feeling you put into the song is there and the sound quality of your videos is also very nice.
This is still the best 1000 words piano performance here on UA-cam.
Thumbs up! The emotions and style portrayed in your playing is spot on!
This is my fav song for amvs, and most songs with games and such . It is played well and you should be proud of your work.
An amazing job!!! It was great :D I hear this song over and over and never get tired.
i remember watching this video years ago....... i'll never EVER forget this and the feelings that go through me each time i hear it.
I appreciate how you did your own rendition of this song.
so beautiful.......so amazing great job arkton!!!!!!!!!

Actually FF-2 was the first start of my whole final fantasy stories. After finished, I went back to play final fantasy X Lolz then cry a river for a whole day Lolz

Final fantasy X e X-2 mi hanno fatto sognare e tu alimenti il mio sogno in questo modo....
veramente stupendo!
It's very nice you say that, Kyle =)
I'm amazed by these numbers! It's unbelievable for me, getting so many views within such a short amount of time!
This is beautiful...
Arkton, I must congratulate you!
I never get sick of this video. (:
I hope you become one of the world's most accomplished pianists. (:
Thank you very very much! It means a lot to me.
Concerning the quality: I try to get the best possible out of my digital piano ^^ I have already spent many hours in the past resolving problems with transmitting the audio from the piano, but I think it was worth the work :)
Even a thousand of words will not be enough to describe the feeling that i have behind this great cover of that marvellous song :)
Best Version I heard so far! Great Job.
yo your piano sounds freakin amazing and you are an extremely talented pianist
This is such a great song! i love the chorus part! im defiantly gonna try to learn this one! nice job!!
This is stunning and gently stirs the emotions really well. If UA-cam still had the star system I'd give it a 5/5, easily.
Wow, I'm amazed what happened here while I was away on holidays! Featured on UA-cam Italia and España!
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR COMMENTS! I really appreciate it! I have however a hard time to understand Italian and Spanish, but I'll try =)
Thank you for featuring me!!
