Wow that is impressive! Thank you for sharing this! I wonder how Tifa would look like when playing this song (and maybe Yuffie too, as I've seen Cloud already)
I’m a modest level pianist and have a decade of music theory under me. While it is a rhythm game at the end of the day, after learning the first few songs on max speed it still can catch you off guard when they introduce fast triplets in this and “Let the Battles Begin!” and general stick sensitivity while decent with input can still slip up for me and outright miss even when I expect the next note.
@@67Dragonball The timing window is a bit weird. You need to hit notes earlier than they sound to "protect yourself" from accidentally hitting the next note. If your stick hasn't returned to center while another note is coming then you'll sometimes accidentally the note. The timing window is big enough that you can be substantially early and still get a "great" though it'll make it sound a little off. Another tip, disable your soundbar or other external audio equipment. Those can cause an audio delay that makes it significantly harder to time.
@@aethertruck I caught that with “Let the Battles Begin” especially with the timing window. It always smites my ego when it still came off as a “Great” but I eventually caught the grace note they were trying to emulate and that helped. The stick centering always throws me off though.

Oh, so you're gonna master EVERY aspect of the game!?!? HAHA, this is really good- maybe one day I will casually enjoy the piano again, but now I'm getting more fun out of figuring out ways to beat my high score on the nightmare survival QB game at the Golden Saucer.
I abused 3 very synergistic cards. Tonberry King in bottom row, buff him by replacing your cards til your last 2 cards are griffin and gi nattak, and profit. I very easily got the 100 points with some trial and error but I imagine you can get pretty absurd numbers with some creativity and some luck. The randomly awarded Chadley card would also help Gi Nattak
Nothing whatsoever that I can tell. No rewards, no trophy, nothing in the postgame play log, not even an acknowledgement from Dorian. It's for the best imo. I love rhythm games but you shouldn't need to be a rhythm game player to get 100% completion in a FF game.
I’m happy to know that play this in a higher grade for a trophy. I didn’t finish the game yet but I suck at this rhythm minigames I had to try hard to get A for Baret’s theme 😅(the last music I got on the story so far.)
@@aethertruckreal. It’s a nice reward for the overachiever to do it for fun. I loved Let the Battles Begin and I’ll try my hand at One-Winged Angel, but no reward for acing these is totally fine. Some of these other ones in order to 100% are still REALLY difficult.
Jingle bells ham and cheese Sephiroth, can't get those misheard lyrics out of my head anymore 🤣. Also I wonder how they gonna handle this mini game if it comes out on PC.
damn accidentally spoiled this for myself. Had no clue this was the final collection reward. I was just looking up trying to find someone playing it freely assuming it was not in the game. Oh well now at least I am excited to get the reward. I assumed it would be something dumb.
It's a pretty silly reward. Sonic Adventure 2 unlocks an entirely new level if you collect all the emblems, full of all the things you'd want in a new level. Making the final reward a piano song feels really lame, especially because imo it sounds kinda awful
@aethertruck First of all, awesome job on this flawless run. Im still playing through the game, but for a guy like me who has been obsessed with Sephiroth since 97', I can't wait to unlock this and get star rating. And OWA is my favorite video game song of all time.
Holden Caulfield: Wow, that's amazing. You are so talented! (looks at Aerith's fingers) Wait a minute, something's not right here. You were just making it look like you were playing. You're a phony! HEY, EVERYONE! THIS ANCIENT IS A GREAT BIG PHONY!
Yeah, nah, that aint happening ever for me. Didn't take me too long to get A rank in 5 of 6 songs you pick up during the game, but I'm struggling getting better than B for Two Legs, and I'll probably be sitting at the piano still by the time the next game comes out if I'm gonna S any of the songs, much less this one. I've got 55 out of the 88 collectables, but I'm not super interested in finding the rest just for this. Getting all the high scores at the Saucer for the last side quest was enough of a final boss for me, but I did finally mange it.
@@MrGBH in Chapter 11 after playing Aerith's theme in Nibel for the odd job, you'll get a prompt saying that Aerith has been learning, and from then on you can switch characters by pressing triangle while sitting at the piano. (Only Cloud, Aerith and Tifa can play)
@@aethertruckI ended up doing it just now as I’m writing this, I found this noticeably less hard than Let the Battles Begin, I think I was just mentally in a bad state and didn’t think properly about it.
@@davidclaxton3674 I always tell music gamers, your motor cortex needs to rewrite itself to perform new motor skills. Practice enough, your brain will learn how to make your fingers do what it wants, and you'll nail it eventually. Practice more, and you'll nail it consistently. Practice even more and you'll nail it most of the time, and even more than that and you'll succeed so often that you get confused when you fail. Practice is like giving your brain experience points. The grind may take a thousand hours but one day you'll level up and forget what it feels like to be able to fail. You just gotta be able to endure the grind. Everyone needs breaks, and rest. I'm glad you pushed through.
In Chapter 11 after playing (or perhaps A ranking) the 6th and final normal song, you get a prompt saying Aerith has been learning. From there, whenever you're sitting at a piano, there's a button to switch characters
A great way to practise this monster piece is watch the youtube on 0.5 then 0.75 speed with your controller in hand and practise the rhythm on screen then slowly speed up as you get the hang of it
Practice modes for rhythm games often include this type of accomodation. Unfortunately, this game isn't a real rhythm game, so they didn't include a practice mode. Slow rate video playback is the only option people have at some version of practice, good tip
Aerith: Can you hear me calling Out your name? You know that I'm falling And I don't know what to say I'll speak a little louder I'll even shout You know that I'm proud And I can't get the words out Oh, I I want to be with you everywhere Oh, I I want to be with you everywhere (Wanna be with you everywhere) Something's happening Happening to me My friends say I'm acting peculiarly Come on, baby We better make a start You better make it soon Before you break my heart Sephiroth: As you wish 😂
Yes, ps5 controller, and I have a 25 year history with rhythm games especially DDR which has 4 frame perfect windows. I believe greats in the piano minigame have like, 20 frame windows lol. Ginormous compared to most rhythm games
I still can't believe that there's no reward for A ranking or S ranking this song. I wonder if finding and fixing all the chocobo benches and finding all the loot or something does something. Does the music guy acknowledge it once you got the S rank? I am confused why that was the reward for completing Johnny's hotel.
Nah. This minigame is by far the most Rebirth steps out of itself and into another genre. Making any kind of unique reward for perfect performances would be bad. You already need to be a rhythm game player to be able to do well on this song. It's a reward the same way Green Hill Zone was a reward in Sonic Adventure 2. It didn't give you a reward to beat it, or A rank it, it was just there so completionists would have something fun to play with. It's an interactive trophy. (Whether it's fun is subjective, I liked it but, a harder song for a minigame that most consider to be one of the hardest already is imo an objectively bad completion reward) If getting an A or S rank on this song was the completionist's final boss, unlocking something like a new weapon or accessory, or even a completely useless key item or Play Log checkmark, it would kill the spirits of every FF completionist that doesn't play rhythm games. Nothing else in the game is nearly as hard. The skillset for this minigame is only learned in rhythm games. It means people like me can S rank it in 15 minutes, and people who don't play rhythm games would need to become an advanced rhythm gamer using only this game as a training tool. Dorian stops being dynamic once you unlock Let the Battles Begin. He never acknowledges anything else afterward, A rank, S rank, nothing. As a matter of fact he never acknowledges S ranks, and there are no rewards for S rank aside from seeing your rank in the piano minigame menu. Chocobo Stops and the Caches are part of the Play Log, which is the completionist checklist. Getting everything including these marks the Play Log with a crown stamp, a trophy in its own right. I have put over 100 hours into this game AFTER getting my Platinum, completing the Play Log and S ranking all the piano musics. I can tell you myself there is no reward whatsoever for the 2 unlockable piano songs.
@aethertruck that's cool:))) I have been trying just to get A rank on let the battle begin 😆 no way would I be able to S rank let the battle begin or one winged angel. People say it's easier on a higher speed so I may try that. I figured since I did about everything else in the game, I might as well try to at least get A rank on those last two songs. Those joysticks are always super wonky for that minigame.
I don't think u need this for the plat. I got the trophy right after doing the first 6 songs at A rank. Those ones aren't so hard so u should be fine if this is what ur worrying about.
The song speed setting only controls the speed of the note scroll. It doesn't make the notes happen any faster or slower. Essentially, the faster the scroll speed, the more visual space is put between notes, making them more visually distinct at the cost of making them exist for less time on the screen. Scroll speed is just a flavor setting. Some like it very fast, and some, like me, don't.
@@aethertruck hum.. it's way harder to do it on full speed than normal speed because you have to be more reactive, so it does make the notes go faster, they still are on the right tempo's of course, but your window to get the greats is harder, i like to do it on full speed because of the challenge, i was just asking because you only had one more space to go, not saying anything bad, it's actually crazy that you did this on it's own, very well done!
I'd be happy to do it again on 5 speed, because it's literally not more challenging. I'm telling you right now, reading it on 1 speed is harder than 5. The density of the notes makes fast songs visually confusing. Also the timing window isn't smaller on faster speeds. That's a misconception born I don't know where. Lot's of people believe that about lots of different rhythm games, and maybe it's true sometimes. But it's not true in DDR, which is my main rhythm game, and it's not true in the Rebirth piano minigame. I'll make my 5 speed play sound extra shitty to prove it.
@@aethertruck don't bother with that! i was just sharing my experience and it's harder for me in faster speeds but we are all different, i don't know what DDR is.. it's all about hitting the notes in the right time, i get that, is just my opinion, i still think that you did great and i can't say much because i haven't got to this song yet
DDR is dance dance revolution. Rhythm game for your feet. You may be interested in seeing what the opposite end of the spectrum looks like. Here's a video of a song called bag. Most people play it on 5x speed or faster, to make it easier to read. This is what it means for scroll speed to be hard because it is slow. Some people play it on this speed just to flex. ruclips.net/video/l8Ydmnhhtyw/видео.htmlsi=PjwH2-UCNwg3sXBL
How the f is he doing that I had a really hard time to only get the song let the battle beginn and it took me 2 hours and the other songs are even faster I have no freaking idea how you can perform so fast with the sticks like only 2 fingers and you should do a job that normally is for 10 fingers is it just me or is there a trick to it, especially the sticks are way to bad to do the job and my sticks have a little drift some time and are not that accurate. It would be better if some sounds would be connected to the buttons like square and circle.... .
Does this make Aerith a dumbass?
No, but it does make her this pear.
Maybe...
The audacity of having Aerith play the song….
She's flexing on him
Beat me to this... but, yeah!
Playing his own theme on a piano on top of his corpse that has been embedded with a steel chair.
I think it just shows that Aerith understands Sephy. He got his point through to her.
🤣
Aerith: "this song is catchy. You really feel it right in the center of your body. An almost piercing melody. KiNdA sPoOkY hUh?"

People say it's easier on a higher speed so I may try that. I figured since I did about everything else in the game, I might as well try to at least get A rank on those last two songs. Those joysticks are always super wonky for that minigame.
That’s fking dark 💀
Is this as hard as it looks?
I think it’s not that bad as long as you study this video first to realise when you’re meant to do the left hand chords.
just call anybody to play the left stick😆
Is this a post game unlock or an all stars unlock? Because I definitely don't have all stars
Postgame
No way in hell I’d be able to do this…
I'm scared of doing this for the plat. I can barely coordinate 1 stick, let alone 2
I often manage to play flawlessly until just before the end, but then I still make a mistake. Every time the same.
I don't think u need this for the plat. I got the trophy right after doing the first 6 songs at A rank. Those ones aren't so hard so u should be fine if this is what ur worrying about.
Yeah, I'm not doing this.
................... I officially hate pianos
Oh youre EVIL for this one
Leave sephiroth to me, I'll handle him... 😂.
She meant this 😅
This is great and all but the real challenge will be doing it without the notes and by memory.
Urghh I have trouble getting a A Rank
Watched this just to see if it was worth it. I'm certain I will not S tier that 😅
You just really had to make Aerith play this piece 😑😂
The one mini game i hate and suck the most in Rebirth. 😅
Mad props for the performance though. This is probably my least favorite mini game.
it feels illegal to watch aerith play this 😭😭
why not full speed ?
The song speed setting only controls the speed of the note scroll. It doesn't make the notes happen any faster or slower. Essentially, the faster the scroll speed, the more visual space is put between notes, making them more visually distinct at the cost of making them exist for less time on the screen. Scroll speed is just a flavor setting. Some like it very fast, and some, like me, don't.
@@aethertruck hum.. it's way harder to do it on full speed than normal speed because you have to be more reactive, so it does make the notes go faster, they still are on the right tempo's of course, but your window to get the greats is harder, i like to do it on full speed because of the challenge, i was just asking because you only had one more space to go, not saying anything bad, it's actually crazy that you did this on it's own, very well done!
I'd be happy to do it again on 5 speed, because it's literally not more challenging. I'm telling you right now, reading it on 1 speed is harder than 5. The density of the notes makes fast songs visually confusing.
Also the timing window isn't smaller on faster speeds. That's a misconception born I don't know where. Lot's of people believe that about lots of different rhythm games, and maybe it's true sometimes. But it's not true in DDR, which is my main rhythm game, and it's not true in the Rebirth piano minigame. I'll make my 5 speed play sound extra shitty to prove it.
@@aethertruck don't bother with that! i was just sharing my experience and it's harder for me in faster speeds but we are all different, i don't know what DDR is.. it's all about hitting the notes in the right time, i get that, is just my opinion, i still think that you did great and i can't say much because i haven't got to this song yet
DDR is dance dance revolution. Rhythm game for your feet. You may be interested in seeing what the opposite end of the spectrum looks like. Here's a video of a song called bag. Most people play it on 5x speed or faster, to make it easier to read. This is what it means for scroll speed to be hard because it is slow. Some people play it on this speed just to flex. ruclips.net/video/l8Ydmnhhtyw/видео.htmlsi=PjwH2-UCNwg3sXBL
How the f is he doing that I had a really hard time to only get the song let the battle beginn and it took me 2 hours and the other songs are even faster I have no freaking idea how you can perform so fast with the sticks like only 2 fingers and you should do a job that normally is for 10 fingers is it just me or is there a trick to it, especially the sticks are way to bad to do the job and my sticks have a little drift some time and are not that accurate. It would be better if some sounds would be connected to the buttons like square and circle.... .
Such a complex song that isn't all that difficult.
THEN THERE'S CAIT SITH'S THEME. 😡
