Oh, sorry for not replying so long. I wanted to, but somehow I didn't find the right moment. Wow, it means a lot to me to hear you like my playing quite as good as the official ones! I never regard mine roughly that way, finding always things which should be improved. But it's awesome to hear you have my interpretations on your player aside the official ones!
Aah.. Yunie's Ballad.. When it started to play, then we all knew that it meant that Yuna was starting to realize that she might never be able to see Him again.. :'( You, Sir, Rock. Hard.
I absolutely adore this song. You passed me the same emotion I felt everytime I listening to it in the game - the longing, the hope, the bittersweet step foward.
ok i have to comment on this again...u r officially the king of final fantasy x-2 piano collections...awesome job 10/5 the most accurate one ive heard on youtube by far
Whenever I hear such beautiful themes from games like this one played by Arkton, I just gaze and seperate myself from this world and enter paradise of nothing but beauty.. Great playing Arkton and 1000 Thanks to Square Enix for creating such a magnificent game..
your videos never cease to amaze me It's such a pleasure to hear different interpretations of piano collections pieces, but interpretations that are as good as the official ones. I mean, my mp3 player now has two versions of Yuna's Ballad, Two Hearts That Cant be Stolen, all some other ones. And ya,
Those last four measures on page 3 are the trickiest. Page 2 has the most emotions in it. Great job on pulling out the right feeling of the song. Nice and slow. Just like how all ballads should be.
I love this song so muchh~ I listen to it whenever I have the chance..there's so much emotion you plug into it and btw I love your fingers, they're long~ haha Please keep playing~! Your videos are my fuel to keep on playing teh piano.
Ugh, I know what you meeeaaan -.-/ THIS SONG! THIS ONE SONG! Makes my emotions fly around my body and around and I can't control myself when I hear it. I'm either crying up a flood and sad or extremely happy, that I'm so cheerful for the whole day.
FFVIII Ending Theme is a nice one! I haven't played it yet, it seems to have a more classical touch, maybe that prevented me to play it so far. I might have a look at it. However, as you may have noticed, I have been quite demotivated to record videos lately, and I don't know when this state will change. But I'll keep your request in mind, being yourself such a great pianist!
Some times, I meet blind people at Good Sam Hospital where I volunteer. These two blind people, one adult and one boy can really play the piano professionally. They told me they can read music by feeling it, memorizing it and then playing it. They also know the tone, quality and speed of music with easy manipulations of their fingers to the keys. Their ears hightened enough to hear each keys and uses ears to "guess" the next verses. I think being blind doesn't mean you can't play the piano.
I do know how you feel too... It's not my mom this case. It's my dad T_T and I'm also saving up for lesson and a piano too! Good luck to you and Heartless Cross! Let's join the pianist society as soon as we can!
Ahhh to the points below, that's the point of this music!!! =) itssupposed to inspire and invoke emotion! that's the beauty of it! ilove pieces like this, so intense and beautiful, brilliantly played =)
I have played many songs from FF VI to X which are equally beautiful. But what makes FFX-2 my favorite is the fact that nearly every song in this album is great, which is not the case for the other albums (in my opinion). I have never played FF XII pieces, I don't have any sheet music of it either =)
its just so nice to have two different recordings of the same piece, particularly because for my Chopin colletions, its easy to get several different recordings, but now finally, I can do the same thing with FF piano collections Thomas, I have a request. if you have time, FFVIII ending theme. I really like this one, but i have some issues with the official one haha I really want to play this one, as soon as I get some free time
Thank you a lot =) I like it putting my emotions into a piece. It makes them more "lively". You like my hand movements? I did that quite (unconciously) "extremely" in that video, again a thing that looks funny to me =) But as you say, the viewer sees things quite differently. You might be right that this song isn't one of the real top ones, yet it's a real nice, relaxing background song, with a nice middle part =) Thank you!
you know.... a friend of mine who is a dancer said that "I feel always drawn to music, I feel like I'm a slave to the music." I found that really funny when she said that. So what I'm trying to say is that I think learning a instrument can help you really take in music as a part of your soul, and therefore really become one with the music that you're dancing to. After all, dancers need music to dance, right? I think you should tell your mom that learning a instrument can help you in your dance.
very few people plays this piece like you ... hehe I've requested this once, please consider playin' "Succession of Witches" ... please ... so far none have played the way the song in question deserves ... haha good job ^^
does anyone prefer the opriginal than this pian ocollection composistion> cuz i dont know which version to learn!!!! what would someone think is more beaitufil think if they first heard this song in which version?
@CrazygurlNajah yes, I'm buying a Juno-g synthesizer and I plan to cover many Final Fantasy tracks. Follow me if interested :) I'm not seeking fame, I seek to simply promote the spirit of gaming music. Uematsu is probably the most heartfelt composer I know of in videogames, but the skill of Sakimoto is dumbfounding! Unfortunately, I won't be able to really touch Sakimoto's compositions by myself because each one is so sophisticated. Uematsu is simple so I can recreate the entire pieces live.

L'une des interprétations les plus belles qui soit. Merci...
Aah.. Yunie's Ballad.. When it started to play, then we all knew that it meant that Yuna was starting to realize that she might never be able to see Him again.. :'(
You, Sir, Rock. Hard.
I love how there is a bit of jazzy tune to it towards the middle. It's so uplifting.
Unreal! There are a few people I wish I could meet and get hints & tips from and you are certainly up at the top of the list. Amazing, simply amazing.
I absolutely adore this song. You passed me the same emotion I felt everytime I listening to it in the game - the longing, the hope, the bittersweet step foward.
I wasnt familiar with the term Ballad but from this performance... it explains alot lol nice performance. this definetely describes Yuna
ok i have to comment on this again...u r officially the king of final fantasy x-2 piano collections...awesome job 10/5 the most accurate one ive heard on youtube by far
For playing a simple piece? Lol
This is just beautiful. I can't stop pressing repeat. 😍😍😍
I agree!!
Whenever I hear such beautiful themes from games like this one played by Arkton, I just gaze and seperate myself from this world and enter paradise of nothing but beauty.. Great playing Arkton and 1000 Thanks to Square Enix for creating such a magnificent game..
This is one of the master pieces from ff x-2. i am very grateful to played this game and listen the music. btw, your tunes is perfect.
its as if im listening to the mp3 of this very beautiful piece....very well done.....
your videos never cease to amaze me
It's such a pleasure to hear different interpretations of piano collections pieces,
but interpretations that are as good as the official ones. I mean, my mp3 player now has two versions of Yuna's Ballad, Two Hearts That Cant be Stolen, all some other ones. And ya,
listen to this while watching a sunset on the beach and all your problems and worries will disappear =) very well played
Very cool i think its very sweet to have this nice song to listen the main melody really open me up.
Those last four measures on page 3 are the trickiest. Page 2 has the most emotions in it. Great job on pulling out the right feeling of the song.
Nice and slow. Just like how all ballads should be.
I love this and your touch to it. Wonderful!
Man this song is sooo good
I wanna play this so bad
Good job!
Wow! That was excellent!!! It was so beautiful and I don't think I can even begin describing what I felt. ^____^
it may sound odd but this song got me thru my break up w/my ex and what not.. i listen to it almost everyday at work..beautiful song. thank you

This brought tears to my eyes.
This is beautiful...it really helps me when I'm writing my over-dramatic stories. ^^
Yeap, turn up your volume and appreciate the music.
Good job on the piano by the way!

You are right, it's quite a relaxing song and arrangement to listen to. Ah, Final Fantasy music is great =)

Ugh, I know what you meeeaaan -.-/ THIS SONG! THIS ONE SONG! Makes my emotions fly around my body and around and I can't control myself when I hear it. I'm either crying up a flood and sad or extremely happy, that I'm so cheerful for the whole day.

you're awesome dude
this sounds just like the real thing^^
i rate it with a high thumbs up
i hope i'll play as well as you when i'm experienced enough
OMG That was brilliant. O_O
I love this piano
Some times, I meet blind people at Good Sam Hospital where I volunteer. These two blind people, one adult and one boy can really play the piano professionally. They told me they can read music by feeling it, memorizing it and then playing it. They also know the tone, quality and speed of music with easy manipulations of their fingers to the keys. Their ears hightened enough to hear each keys and uses ears to "guess" the next verses. I think being blind doesn't mean you can't play the piano.
this is like the best song out of all piano collections. i wish they would make a ffx-3 :/
Very nice! I like it!
love it!
I do know how you feel too... It's not my mom this case. It's my dad T_T and I'm also saving up for lesson and a piano too! Good luck to you and Heartless Cross! Let's join the pianist society as soon as we can!
Ahhh to the points below, that's the point of this music!!! =) itssupposed to inspire and invoke emotion! that's the beauty of it! ilove pieces like this, so intense and beautiful, brilliantly played =)
I do not know what to say ... I know this conzone different, but I must say you're very good!

I have never played FF XII pieces, I don't have any sheet music of it either =)
ur amazing!
*stands up, applauds in amaze yelling BRAVO!!*
It's a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-280. A great one.
its just so nice to have two different recordings of the same piece, particularly because for my Chopin colletions, its easy to get several different recordings, but now finally, I can do the same thing with FF piano collections
Thomas, I have a request.
if you have time, FFVIII ending theme.
I really like this one, but i have some issues with the official one haha
I really want to play this one, as soon as I get some free time
There needs to be more piano tributes of everything. :)
Awesome =]
Really Good
Dreamy and moody... I like it ^^
Try listening to this with rainy mood in the background, adds a nice touch. :)
The first time I have heard it, was when battling Bahamut in FFX-2 for the second time. It had another vibe than FFX with a more 'rock' tone.
excellent
sounds beautiful man, no hetero
hmm beautiful... i wish i could roll back time and learn to play piano. but i spend my time with watching tv and playing computer games.
Yuna's Ballad like you've never heard before...
Thank you a lot =) I like it putting my emotions into a piece. It makes them more "lively".
You like my hand movements? I did that quite (unconciously) "extremely" in that video, again a thing that looks funny to me =) But as you say, the viewer sees things quite differently.

Thank you!
Wow...
touching my heart , really
very nice movement and well played,
can you post eyes on me and Zanakard too.
looking forward to see and hear
thanks a million.
As far as I know is the CLP-270 identical to the CLP-280, except that it has the GH3 keyboard instead of the NaturalWood.
Feelings.

does anyone prefer the opriginal than this pian ocollection composistion> cuz i dont know which version to learn!!!! what would someone think is more beaitufil think if they first heard this song in which version?
nice. ^^
I agree with tibarn1hawk and AzleeB. Moreover, I generally don't make learn videos.
@tarumonk so beautiful we gotta hear it twice or more and they know it! :D
nice I can only do the first part hehehe

Do you know anything about a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-270? I'm hoping to either get a Clavinova or a Nocturne Grand.
@CrazygurlNajah i agree
Oh ? Thank you ! xD
i always think that what i say means nothing xD
shit you are good no one i know can play this and they have tried so many times.
