I really don't know what to say, Kara. For real. This is certainly one of the most impressive things I have seen on RUclips. I have been following your channel for YEARS and this is probably you best work to date. Congratulations for such an endeavor, your talent and hard work is an inspiration to us! I'm really really happy for seeing someone put such an effort in songs that mean so much to me and other people. Take care and stay wel!
agreed even seeing that you'd done the whole soundtrack from beginning to end Kara left me flabbergasted. I might need to become a patreon just out of sheer respect for the achievement, and I've never done that for ANYONE before
@@cavemanbenWhatever it is, it's a crime he said. I think what he was trying to do was express a heightened appreciation for it, and feels that wasn't represented by others to his liking. So he pulled out a strong phrase he's heard used before.
When I see videos of seniors with dementia singing tunes in languages from their childhoods. I can't help imagine that Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc will come back to me in my 80s It's rare that a franchise's music creates such lasting memories. The amount of talent Square-Enix packed into a 16 bit platform is absurd. They brought Japanese creative culture into a generation of young minds. Borrowing mythological references from cultures throughout history, to build the fantasy world. This collection you've made is a huge accomplishment!
This is great thank you for sharing! My grandmother has Alzheimer’s and whenever I play familiar songs for her, she remembers all the words and sings along. I think you’re right that we will always remember these themes no matter what :)
Let's hope we won't get any form of dementia... :-) Your thoughts may sound romantic, but there is nothing worse than being dead and alive at the same time.
@@iacoposbrolli2393 To be honest, I've always wondered about that. Indeed, dementia is terrible for the loved ones, but what about the one with dementia? I know that at some point they become aware of their decline and that coming to terms with that is terrible, but once they've lost all memories, I've always wondered whether that's torture or not. I'm probably very naive, but I always thought not being aware of dying is a blessing in disguise. I'd certainly prefer it to having cancer and knowing I only have a few weeks to live. Am I being too naive?
I’m really still too emotional from reliving so many great memories through music, that was so beautifully done. Thank you so much Kara for putting in the work to put that together. FFVI was such a great game, the past two hours were really just magical.
Listening to this is like therapy for me. Playing FF6 has gotten me through some really dark times. Thank you for making this; it’s refreshing to hear, and you have played so seamlessly the whole time it’s uncanny how talented you are.
I can't believe I just found this. Final Fantasy VI was my second Final Fantasy game, my first being VII. VI holds a special place in my heart, and while VII was good, VI is the one that made me love the series. All the themes, both narratively and musically were just amazing.
what a nostalgia trip! so happy to see FFVI getting so much love even after so many years! a project to be proud of for sure :) hope similar concerts follow!
I always loved the Magitek Research Facility scene. The gameplay itself, and the score are both great. I can't quite figure what a Piano arrangement might sound like. Guess in a about 40 minutes I get to find out!
I just stumbled on this, live, while looking for some background music from my favorite game of all time. Talk about serendipity! You play beautifully. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your work.
I give that to Chrono Cross, but I certainly don't begrudge you your opinion. This game/score was the start of my enthusiastic love of video game music, and that of Nobuo Uematsu. His legacy is an incredible one. He and Johnny Williams (and a few others) wrote the score to my childhood.
@@herbsuperb6034 Chrono Cross is still in my backlog, but I can't wait to play it! Agreed that Uematsu and Williams belong in the same sentence when it comes to GOAT composers. Cheers.
I can't put into words how amazing and wonderful this is, but what I can do is say that you have "Searching for Friends" in the proper order. The official soundtrack (even the old Doremi sheet music book) puts "Searching" before "Epitaph", but in the game, "Searching" adds an uplifting feeling to the bittersweet "Epitaph" of Setzer's past, and the game itself gets its first glimmer of hope when the ship rises from the sea with this song ushering it along. It's such a natural progression from "Epitaph" to "Searching for Friends", yet they always put it out of order. I probably sound more daft than Kefka, but thank you :) You did such a beautiful thing here! *EDIT* Also on Spotify, I can play them back to back for the perfect transition from "Epitaph" into "Searching for Friends" :D
I love that you shared this! I didn't actually order the sheets, I had someone fix a few of them and put them in the proper order. Also got some advice from a few other followers, it was a joint effort. Many of them are also placed where they appeared in the game when I actually played it on stream :) so glad I got it right!
This is the kind of thing that is only done once in a lifetime. Decades come and go... and we don't see anything like this since 1994. Until you were born Kara and for some reason beautifully repeated what no one else did before Nobuo Uematsu. No words to express how much you blew my heart with your virtuous effort and your love for these songs immortalized in the hearts of those who played this game Kara. I want you to know that your video will echo for eternity. 1:05:41 it chills me
Thank you for recording this! My favorite soundtrack of all time from my favorite game of all time played with such mastery and sensitivity is a real treat!
Thank you for your performance. FF VI has always been my favorite FF game. Such a great story, the character development was great, and of course, the music was just so good. Even for todays standards.
I discovered this channel by accident earlier this year, and I’m just sad I didn’t find it sooner. FF6 is my favorite game ever, and to hear the music realized like this is just astounding. Thank you!
There isn’t a like button large enough for a video of this caliber. I’ve only gotten through the first half, but this is incredible. You’ve done an incredible job with one of the best soundtracks of all time. This is phenomenal. I also like the decorations. Particularly the pug (tonberry) and Ultros. I’ll definitely be coming back to this video to listen to this while I work or just want to think or space out. Cheers.
"It's the type of track you can just leave on in the background while you clean house or work or do school." I completely disagree. This needs to be astutely listened to as the work you've done here is absolutely sublime. Do not sell yourself short for the quality of performance and accomplishment here. This coming from someone that owns the original FF6 OST, is a fellow musician and knows these tracks inside and out and has listened to the OST in its entirety at least twenty times. Absolutely incredibly well done.
The full FFVI soundtrack, with the plushies all over the piano AND cosplaying as Terra... this is undeniably the cream of the crop on RUclips!! I'd give it a million likes if I could. *o*
You gave this album the respect it deserved. Was way ahead of its time for SNES music. Your piano playing is beautiful. Still one of the best soundtracks for a video game. I love how your dressed as Relm. I would love to hear your version of Zozo. You should be doing live shows!
You... you arranged it so you placed the pieces roughly in the order you'd encounter them in an actual playthrough of the game! Like... setting aside the brilliance of the performance itself and the amazing skill and dedication to actually play all this, you also arrange it in a way that you'd naturally encounter it as you play through the game. Even to the point of spotting that in this theoretical playthrough, when the party splits, you follow Sabin first, then Locke, then Terra, before everyone gets back together. It's just... my mind is completely blown away by your dedication to this rendition. You know, there was an official piano arrangement of like a dozen pieces? Yours is definitively better, plus it contains virtually every song in the entire game. I stand in awe of your skill and dedication.
Only part way through and already on the edge of tears (I'll hear the whole thing in time). This is the soundtrack of my early childhood. As a pianist I absolutely adore the arrangements and especially your performance of them. Also so cool to hear piano arrangements of the less-covered songs. Bravo x1000 and thank you!!! 😅😭
Kara, if you have a moment to answer - for this video, were you reading from “Final Fantasy VI Original Sound Version Piano Solo Sheet Music”? I’m hoping yes because I love these arrangements, and I’m thinking of investing in a copy! All the best 🙏
Thank you for this (again) amazing piece, Final Fantasy VI has one of the best soundtrack of the video game history and deserve it so much. Thank you for your passion and dedication Kara 👍♥️
I saw you playing Restoring Balance having not heard it before in another video and I was wondering, did you fall in love with the music before playing the game? Because I feel like Uematsu's work is so beautiful that it merits that. I still listen to the soundtrack this many years later, having played it back in the 90s. Final Fantasy VI was a very important piece of media for me. It planted something primal in a young brain of mine.
I'm a really huge fan of your work! All the changes you made to let the music flow through the pieces are clever and well executed! I'll love to hear the Chrono Trigger one :3
Incredible how this takes us all back to a time of great joy, no matter what adversities we may have been facing at this time. When we were filled with youth and innocence.
Amazing! I can't believe I'm only just now seeing this. Probably my favorite video game of all time. This game gave me the feels when I was playing it and your performance sent me right back to them. Thanks so much for sharing.
Amazing! I'm so glad I found this. I can't believe how cool and complete all these tracks sound on the piano. Thanks for putting in so much work on this project. Which song do you enjoy playing the most from the game?
Thank you for this! FFVI has some of the most emotionally driven music ever put into a game. Love the Terra get up, too. She is one of my all time favorite game characters. Just need your hair in a green ponytail.
@@KaraComparetto have you heard RigorMortis999's arrangement of Dancing Mad? He really puts in work. I'm pretty sure he makes his sheet music free, too
They only had her sprites hair colored green because they wanted to differentiate her within game from the kther blonde characters. Thats why all of her art was blonde or white haired but her sprite hair was green. I've also read that they wanted to make her hair white but then the hard lines didnt look right in the pixelation. But i don't believe that because she's all white in esper mode and still look rad af. The first part is long known fact thought.
Любимая игра в серии. И великолепный саундтрек. Благодарю за титаническую работу, наверняка выучить его было не просто. Послушал снова. Это прекрасно. Thank you.)
I absolutely love this, you're so talented Kara! I enjoy and appreciate the effort you put into learning and playing these pieces from the games we loved so much growing up! Also love the Terra cosplay and the Tonberry, Moogle, Marlboro and Cactuar plushes!
Holy Moses, I got linked to the Dancing Mad video and wondered if the nice piano lady might have other FFVI covers. Turns out that yes, she does in fact have all the covers. Amazing effort.
I tried to ask you before but don't think I saw your reply. Sorry if you've already talked about it, but I was wondering if these songs are nostalgic for you. Playing these games when I was younger was a journey. Reliving it through the music is something I could never have imagined at the time to evoke such a strong feeling. I can only say simply thank you for giving that to me in the best possible way!
I wish I had played this as a kid but I was more into Nintendo games 😂 I played it this past year on twitch live stream though, and it makes the music mean so much more to me now!
Who is your favorite character from VI? Mine has always been the same as Hironobu Sakaguchi’s, Cyan! “I am Cyan, retainer to the king of Doma. Ready thy axe!”
No one: Forever Rachel: cry now But seriously... I was minding my own business working and listening. Forever Rachel starts, work stops and a solemn ear is turned. The great love story of FFVI is remembered. every. time.
What an incredible performance. Thanks for bringing my childhood back to life in such a unique way.
Thank you so much Ben :)

The WHOLE soundtrack?! NICE! Can't wait to play this over and over again during my work day!
Right!! .. There is no other game soundtrack that makes my life happy, more than FF6 🎶🎵🔥🎹
The whole soundtrack... including the rare gem of a song magnificently titled, "What?"
Right there with you. Been playing this every day while working for the past week. This is just too amazing!
I deffinately play it often while i work. Nothing like a soundtrack from the childhood while working to get you through the day
"Eventually I would love to do this with the Chrono Trigger soundtrack (...)"
YES please!!
I would melt into a puddle of happiness.
@@ZealKingdom I would erupt into a volcano of joy.

Thats 1/3 of your day!!! Hahah thank you Leonard!!

One of my top two favorite soundtracks... I frequently teeter between this and NieR depending on my mood. Beautiful work!
I love NieR too!
What a feast this is - the love for the original soundtrack is really palpable. 'Forever Rachel' in particular, while brief, is just devastating.
Forever Rachel always hits. Even my mom, no fan of video games, overheard the music during that scene and was like, "What is this music called?"
Finally. The best FF gets some love. Now for the 3d remake that it's deserved for over a decade.
I agreeeee!
I really want a 3D remake but I also don't want it to suck...
Personally I think a good TV serie would be the way to go for the older FF
The best is ffvii. Cloud is just better.
Not my cup of tea, but this video gets an upvote for the sheer amount of effort put into it. Awesome work.
I've been super excited about this ever since I saw the announcement!
1:35:08 Shadow theme in all its glory... and sorry for leaving you on the Floating Continent at that time ^_^;
Amazing performance! This was a beautiful tribute, much love for you and all you do!
Beautiful performance…. I am really really love your show…. Greating From Indonesia…
A beautiful piano cover of one of the greatest video game OSTs of all time... truly a masterpiece-both the OG and your cover!

@@KaraComparetto have you heard RigorMortis999's arrangement of Dancing Mad? He really puts in work. I'm pretty sure he makes his sheet music free, too
They only had her sprites hair colored green because they wanted to differentiate her within game from the kther blonde characters. Thats why all of her art was blonde or white haired but her sprite hair was green. I've also read that they wanted to make her hair white but then the hard lines didnt look right in the pixelation. But i don't believe that because she's all white in esper mode and still look rad af. The first part is long known fact thought.
Любимая игра в серии. И великолепный саундтрек. Благодарю за титаническую работу, наверняка выучить его было не просто. Послушал снова. Это прекрасно. Thank you.)
You’re a national treasure. I’ve listened to this whole video 3 times today already.
Blockbuster Video Rental. Cool box art. Read the back. HOOKED! FF6/3 My #1. Thank you for bringing me back. You are amazing!
Thank you Bryan!! Haha yes I remember those days too :)
You rock, Kara! I just love listening to this while I do stuff around the house. :)
Thank you, yes it seems so perfect for that kind of day!!
I absolutely love this, you're so talented Kara!
I enjoy and appreciate the effort you put into learning and playing these pieces from the games we loved so much growing up!
Also love the Terra cosplay and the Tonberry, Moogle, Marlboro and Cactuar plushes!
stand up for the main theme everyone!
Holy Moses, I got linked to the Dancing Mad video and wondered if the nice piano lady might have other FFVI covers. Turns out that yes, she does in fact have all the covers. Amazing effort.
I couldn’t miss this opportunity 😁 thank you :)
I can't believe this was almost two hours! I was so engrossed the whole time
Yeah time flew by for me too!
Oh my god I fucking love this!
THANKS SO MUCH for the complete soundtrack !!!!! Your performance is just perfect, awesome, marvelous, cool!!!!!! I just loved your performance!!!!! 😊
Yay!!!!!!
Realizing these themes are characters themselves
This is insane and incredible! What a soundtrack and performance!
I tried to ask you before but don't think I saw your reply. Sorry if you've already talked about it, but I was wondering if these songs are nostalgic for you. Playing these games when I was younger was a journey. Reliving it through the music is something I could never have imagined at the time to evoke such a strong feeling. I can only say simply thank you for giving that to me in the best possible way!
I wish I had played this as a kid but I was more into Nintendo games 😂 I played it this past year on twitch live stream though, and it makes the music mean so much more to me now!
Incredible work, thank you so much for this 💗😭💗
Any chance you will give this the same treatment as the Chrono Trigger soundtrack and add organ and clavichord tracks?
Probably not haha, I have plans for FFVII, which is gonna be a big project, and some other ideas too :)
those offset key combo's during the first song were far more complex than I thought they'd be... so very good!
Yeah the chord progressions are epic!!
Best soundtrack, amazing skills, awesome cosplay 😁
This is going to be amazing, as always!
Who is your favorite character from VI? Mine has always been the same as Hironobu Sakaguchi’s, Cyan!
“I am Cyan, retainer to the king of Doma. Ready thy axe!”
For me this is like visiting an old friend.. The music is so beautiful, so many memories. Thank you for bringing them back
Such a great concert!!! Thanks so much Kara!!!
❤️❤️❤️

Forever Rachel: cry now
But seriously... I was minding my own business working and listening. Forever Rachel starts, work stops and a solemn ear is turned. The great love story of FFVI is remembered. every. time.
