Final Fantasy XVI - Land of Eikons (Harp Arrangement)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 июн 2023
- I'm excited to announce that FFXVI is the newest Final Fantasy game I've played since..........Crisis Core. Circa 2008. Yeah I'm a bit of a dinosaur and each time Clive does a flashy Phoenix move it's hard for me to tell if it's the spectacular graphics or me having an epileptic episode, but so far I really like it! The highlights: story, music, aesthetics, and most importantly, TORGAL! In fact I'm pretty sure "Pet the Dog" is the only trophy I've obtained.
Anyhow, after I miraculously beat an epic boss last Saturday night, I wandered around my room at 4am with this FFXVI menu song looping in the background and found the dark Prelude riff extremely alluring. I decided to record it Sunday, mixed Monday, did the video Tuesday and TADAAAA this is possibly the fastest musical thing I've ever done. I normally work on musical projects about as fast as Squeenix works on FF7R.
Composed by: Masayoshi Soken, Nobuo Uematsu
Arranged & Performed by: Harpsibored
P.S. - Since the FFXVI OST is not released yet, I have no idea what to call this song, so I just went with "Title Theme." If any of you have a clue what the actual title is please let me know. I'll probably amend this once the OST is released.
P.S.S. - Yes, I am wearing red so I look like a lady from Rosaria. A B-list one, anyway.
P.S.S.S. - Ok parts of the OST are being released. This track is called "Land of Eikons" and has been updated accordingly. Thank you for your attention to this insignificant detail.

My Reaction: Ohhhhhhhh she made a new one *immediately clicks link*
Same
Awww thank you 😊
Another 10/10. You play so well
Thank you 💖
Wow I was searching for Land of Eikons and I hit on this. Very impressed! ❤️
Ahh thank you so much! 🔥
@@HarpsiboredHmm wonder if you could get someone to team with you on this for the vocals. That would be so next level
FFXVI is up there, having one of my favorite themes of the series. Thoroughly enjoyed this arrangement on an instrument I think is quite underrated.
Thank you!!!!! ❤️
Double harp!! Dark Prelude just hits different. Very easy to simply drift away on this tune. And you put this together in only a couple days!? "Phoen-omenal"! 🔥
Thank you so much!!! Yeah this week has pretty much flashed before my eyes. Up is down and down is up
@@Harpsiboredup up, down down, left, right, left, right, B, A, START. There. You're powered up, now.
Thank you so much. I just got into the game a few days ago. I love the music and I love your arrangement! Such a dark take on the classic Prelude, for such a dark game. Thanks
Thank you so much!!! Yeah a dark Prelude fits this game perfectly so far. I dig it.
As soon as I played the game and heard this song, I immediately hoped you would do this song. That was fast!
Thank you!!! Yeah I tried to get this one out of my system. I knew I wanted to play it 🥰
End of this game tore my heart out. Beautifully tragic.
Jill looking up at the sky 😢
nice work! and that's just the first song of the game. the acoustic vibes of its soundtrack produced some of the most memorable and nice songs since X.
Thank you so much! Yeah I'm still not too far in but I'm looking forward to hearing more music. What I've heard so far is very ambient 🥰
@@Harpsibored it's a good thing the game has a jukebox, i think you gonna like some of the songs you see throughout the game! looking forward for more ffxvi on the harp😊
Love your covers of FF songs! Please keep releasing beautiful music!
Thank you so much! 💖
Oh wow, the slow march going up and down the scale, emphasized by really powerful, deep, bassy hits. This is such a cool piece. It's like it has this nostalgic feeling while still moving forward in time. The harp was not bored this day.
Thank you so much!! I'm so glad I have a new harp for this song with a powerful bass 🥰
I´m in love with this version of that incredible ost
Thank you so much! Glad I was able to do it justice!
So nice to listen to this morning
Yay! Thank you 💖
yay! it's the harp girl! always a pleasure the listen to your harp c:
Thank you!!! ❤️ flattered to be known as "the harp girl." I call myself "the FF harp lady" in my head too 🤣
Simply majestic performance. Well done
Thank you 🔥
I love how changing one note shifts the whole piece into a minor key (E to D#) and changes the entire mood of the Prelude/Crystal Theme. This was also done in FFIX near the end game. I also did a rough cover of it in Logic Pro the day it came out for fun.
Well done as always! (You're killing it in that dress btw!)
I do have to wonder how much she needed to resist the urge to play FFIX's "Crystal World" instead.
HAHAHA I noticed the key similarity! When I was playing it I felt like the 4 fiends were gonna come in and bust my ass
FF歴代史上過去一重いプレリュード大好き過ぎる…めちゃくちゃ綺麗な音色…好きだ
そうですね、FF16バージョンのすごく暗い感じが大好き❤️🔥
This is the main menu option to my work day. Hard mode enabled. I am glad to see (and hear) you jumping in and covering FF16 and I hope to hear more soon!
Thank you so much!!! Heh I'm still in idiot mode but we'll see, hopefully I can adjust to the combat 😂
Oh my gosh… goosebumps. You took me back to the *experience* of the game, which I think is the hallmark of both an amazing arrangement and an incredible execution of said arrangement. Well done, you should feel very accomplished ❤️🙌
Also I love how at the end you still ‘calm’ your harp. A very comforting action. Can’t wait to see more of what you do Harpsibored!
Thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear that! It's been taking FOREVER due to health problems but I'm finally making progress in FF16 and am really loving the environment/OST. Once I conquer my health crap I'd really love to play more FF16 music on the harp. Thank you again!!! ❤️🔥
Chills, kinda sets gritty the tone for the game. Except when ruffling Torgal's fur, or visiting the brothel.
Great work getting it all done so fast 💚
Brothels aren't gritty? 🤣
Was hoping someone did this so good ❤
Thank you 🔥💖
Cool! Don't think I've ever heard you layer a second you over first you
Thanks! This is my 4th time actually, I did layering for a few others (You Can Hear the Cry of the Planet, Troian Beauty, Heavens Tower)
This is very beautiful, you've made a great job
Thank you ❤️
Gave me shivers, love this
Glad to hear that, thank you so much 🥰
Congrats! you are amazing!!!!!
Thank you so much 💖
Amazing song from the franchise and amazing rendition you did. Very creative in achieving the harmony.
Thank you so much!!! 😭
Can it be? Can this take number one as my favourite FF prelude? Is FFX-2's prelude dethroned? Never thought I'd see the day wow. Amazing as always ❤
I misread that as "FFX Prelude" and was super confused hahhaha. Thank youuuuu
@@Harpsibored Ahahaha can you imagine from the most upbeat prelude to the most melancholic one. Ah FFX gave us so many things :')
This is great! Thank you! And great work of Papeghin's VII medley!
Thank you so much! 💕
Wow this is so hypnotizing and melodic. Really great job.
Thank you ❤️
My first time hearing this theme but wow... You did it again. Raw talent and dedication.
Thank you 🥰
That's so beautiful, thank you so much for this oooone
Thank you 🥰
This is sounding beautiful! I can't wait to play this game, when it comes to PC! I hope you're enjoying it so far!
It's amazing. It's pretty frickin heavy stuff though
This ain't yo grandpappy's FF game
Its pretty dark and brutal stuff. I love it
Thank youuuuu ❤️ I know you and I are both dinosaurs so I'll let you know my spoiler free thoughts when I finish
Mesmerizing cover! Thank you for sharing!
Agreed, Torgal is best boi. So happy we can oet him.
Thank you!!!! Woof! 🐺❤️
Thank you, my tears are flowing down, really love this!
Thank you 😭🔥
Beautiful... I got chills 💕
Thank you 💖
Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you 💖
This is too well done! They honestly should add this as an arranged soundtrack. Great work
Thank you so much!!! ❤️
Sounds amazing on the harp!
Thank you so much!! 💖
This is just beautiful. I don't think I stopped to listen all the way through before.
Thank you!!! ❤️ yeah I love just leaving the menu screen open in the background hehe
Increible muy hermosa cancion. Your music is magic to my hears, beautiful song congrats
Thank you so much!! 💖
Dude so cool!
Thank you ❤️
Amazingggg!
Thank you 🔥
Wow, amazing 👏🏽
Thank you! ❤️
Ahhh such a nice adaptation!! The XVI prelude is such a cool departure from the earlier games
Thank you, means a lot coming from you 🥰 yeah the riff of the Prelude in XVI is so cool. Amazing how it instantly changes flipping it to minor.
This sounds so pretty! I have yet to play FFXVI or even listen to the music, but I love the dark prelude vibe going on here!
Thank you!!! Heh, I saw this track was just released with both Soken and Uematsu credited as composers. Nice.
Glad to hear they maintained the tradition of awesome FF music!
Damn do I wish the PC port was remotely close to releasing...
Yay for FF music!
Not yay for new console prices!
I love this!
Thank you ❤️
Like you, I haven't played a new Final Fantasy in donkeys years (I played FFXIII in 2016 and before that it was XII in 2007). But I always keep up with the soundtracks. After all, if there's one thing I can count on to be good in Final Fantasy, it's the music! This Title Theme is mesmerising. I'm looking forward to future FFXVI arrangements :)
Thank you so much! Yay for us dinosaurs! Well, I'm even worse than you bc I still haven't played 12 or 13. I'll get to it 😂
@@Harpsibored Damn, you have even more catching up to do than me! 😆 Have you listened to the soundtracks of 12 and 13? The 13 trilogy has some of the strongest OSTs in the series by my taste.
I'm feelin the darkness of this one, and I always appreciate the deep bass notes with the Harp. It's unique to hear a prelude in this fashion. Full of mystery and a haunting tone. Your performance is quality as always and B-list? Now that is funny! Congrats on joining the new, and i'll have to check on that Phoenix move. I am very intrigued now....👍 👍 🌟 🎶 🎵 🔥 🎮
Thank you!!! Yeah this Prelude is so eerie. Me being B list is funny? How about a fly marrying a bumblebee? Now THAT'S funny!
@Harpsibored You're welcome and nah I just laugh at your self depreciating jokes.😁
Is that what happens in the game? Oh my! 🪰 💍 🐝
Ohh this is great I love it
Thank you 🥰
I love that even though The Prelude has been used so many times across different FF titles, it still manages to sound unique somehow. Like even with just that portion I would have been able to pick out that it was the FF16 rendition of it.
Yeah it's both familiar and different at the same time. Thank you for listening ❤️
this is the first main line ff ive played since FF 10 and i am really loving it.
That's promising!!! Thank you for listening ❤️
😍😍sooooo goooodddd!!! 🔥🔥
Thank you ❤️ happy new year! 🔥
@@Harpsiboredlikewise 🙌🏽
i havent played any final fantasy after ffix but this seems like a cool new take on the classic ff title theme. i dig the pink floyd vibes
Yeah the throwback familiarity is a nice touch 🥰
Using this to test out my new Tozzi Two monitor speakers; sounds great!
Damn I'm flattered to be the speaker testing melody. Thank you 🔥❤️
After nearly...what, thirty years of the same Prelude, it's nice to hear they changed it up for XVI. I also couldn't imagine a better first time hearing it than on harp. I think you deserve the "Play FF Songs On Harp" trophy as well, why isn't there an achievement for that?
Thank you! "Play FF Songs on Harp" is something that I think I do sometimes, so I guess a trophy for that would be nice.
tone 10/10
Yay glad you like it! My new harp whooo!!
Wonderful arrangement. The mini ost lists this song as ‘Land of Eikons’
Thank you!!! So I've heard Land of the Eikons Reprise and it's slightly different from this song (different key and vocal melody). So I'm not sure if there are 2 different Land of the Eikons songs??? Confusing lol
I didn't play yet to FF16 because i'm a PC guy but i love this song.
I heard the original and your version is really better
Damn that's a huge compliment, thank you!!! 💖 I hope you get a chance to play it on PC! It's a beautiful game!
Dang that's a good theme 👌 I wonder how the rest of the XVI soundtrack is
We shall seeeee. OST won't be released until mid July for some reason 😂
This is amazing. I can't help but hear "Scars of Time" from Chrono Cross at 0:29.
Thank you!! I see what you mean 🥰
Extended version please
Will do! 🔥
My first exposure to this soundtrack. The backing melody is the FF Prelude in a different key?
It's in a minor key instead yeah. It's perfect for the tone of the game
Love the music in this game, even if it's still not quite FF1-10 quality (imo). And the red works, as long as you aren't like Clive's mom.
Thank you!!!! Welllllll did you notice that all of the Rosfields wear red in the prologue.....except Clive's mom? She wears purple. Dun dun
@@Harpsibored You're welcome! And this is why I have to read books or play games multiple times. I don't notice small stuff like that as easily anymore. I didn't even think about that lol.
As I refuse to buy a console for one game, I will be waiting until the timed exclusivity ends and we get a port to another platform (most likely PC) to play FFXVI. However, I have heard much of the music tangentially, and I love what you've done here with this arrangement.
As for the red dress making you look like a B-list noble, it looks fantastic with this arrangement and composition. But if you really wanted to be a B-list noble, shouldn't you dress as Ramza? :P
Thank you so much!! Hah I don't blame you, I've hesitated on buying a new console since uhhh....2008 when I bought myself a PSP 🤣 but my bf was very generous and got me a PS5 for my bday so I have now entered the modern world. I hope you get a chance to play it on PC!!
Ugh embarrassing but I still haven't played TicTacs so I don't quote get the reference yet. But I plan to play it once I'm done with 16!!
@@Harpsibored I hear the way the political intrigue in 16 plays out is very similar to Tactics, so I definitely recommend the game.
Obviously, be prepared for different combat, but I'm sure you already knew that. Grats on the PS5 for your birthday, though!
My my this one was really good. How do you like ff16 so far?
Thanks so much!! I've been away traveling and haven't gotten too far in it, but I like the overall vibe so far. Gonna get back to it soon ❤️🔥
weird... I didn't want to play this till now. Gonna need a ps5.
Yessssss ❤️
Omg I'm in love and the song was nice too... jk jk jk
I know, my harp is a very attractive broad. You can call her "Lyon & Healy Style 100"
@@Harpsibored 🤣🤣🤣
That's really beautiful. Like dwelling in forgotten eternity glimpsed through 8 bit haiku of castles, underwater, 2000 years today
Also reminds me of this cool song called burning desire ruclips.net/video/TIBKdIJYjt8/видео.html
Ayychoo!
Thank you 🥰 how very vivid
