    The common theme I see with the battle themes seems to be four parts to the themes: the initial shock of battle, the rising action, midst of fighting and action, and last part has this more flowing sound with a somewhat heroic feel to it, like it's saying "we got this guys".

    Hearing the battle themes from FF1 to FF6 gave me such a nostalgia rush and reminded me how much I love those games and its OST. Uematsu truly manages to give you pretty engaging and catchy battle tunes without going overly exaggerated with the instruments (something that happens in some newer RPGs where the battle tunes try to sound so epic but end up quite overwhelming and sometimes unnecesarily complex).

Of course any pianist who plays technical piece may want someone to stick to the original artists creation.

But thats just my opinion of the matter. ^_^

      willnicholson18 FFX is my second favorite FF game. I remember how much FF7 blew me away when I played it, and the second I played FFX I had that same exact feeling again! FFX was incredible for its time as well. I heard they are making a FFX-3!

    All themes from FF I-VI sound alike, as if each one is a subtle extension of the previous. Then VII and VIII are their own thing. But FF IX goes back to its roots, which is appropriate considering the game's theme is the same medieval fantasy of all those first six games.

      I'd argue that VI, while it has a similar theme to the first five, is closer to the Steampunk world of VII than the ones before it.

But I feel like the rest of the right hand is higher pitched. Otherwise, fucking amazing. I have something new to listen to while i do homework, and you have a new subscriber

      Thanks dang579! I actually learned, memorized, & recorded this entire medley in one day! I tried to transcribe it all to the best of my ability, but there are undoubtedly a few little mistakes here and there due to the speed of the session. I'm glad you enjoy it! :)

      VGPianoMan One day??? Wow. That is some impressive talent. I'm currently trying to transcribe a song and it'd take me a week at least. Still listening to this vid < 3 By transcription do you mean you have the sheet music? Also one more question, do you do this by ear? :O

    • @StevenMelin
      @StevenMelin  10 лет назад +3

      Ha, thanks! I've been developing this skill for 17 years :) Nope, no sheet music - transcribing = accurately reducing the orchestral version to piano. Arranging = creating my own version. So I technically do both! And yep, all by ear! Sometimes I'll use sheet music from others as a rough guide (to more quickly find the notes on tougher sections), but I always use my ears!
