With the remake of FF7 there has been so many "covers" and attempts to play this song. This video is 13 years old and is still the best performance of this song in RUclips.
Exactly. After listening to various performances on spotify, they all sound like dog shit compared to Arkton's performance. You can feel the raw emotion in his play.
@@Bollibompa which makes you not want Arkton's interpretation? Just curious. Not sure how we should play this according to the composer. Is it the tempo? Fingering?
It carries so much. Your interpretation goes right to the deepest of the heart and brings back the binded hope, love and sadness of Aerith's story. Thank you 😇
This version of the song was played beautifully at my little brothers funeral after he took his own life. It was the most beautiful heart breaking thing. He loved the final fantasies. I miss him so much
+Jaykmeit Yes. The story was so good. There was nothing more innocent and sincere than Aeris in that world. She was the opposite of Sephiroth. Even Cloud, Barret, and Tifa had their issues but Aeris was just a perfect little sunbeam that gave you hope for the future and when she died it tore your high school heart out. No moment in any video game has ever been felt more.
M ln M ln LMAO! Calm down dude! I loved the game too but shit she's just a character! Waxing poetic like she was the savior of this world and saying she was "sincere and innocent" is a bit much. 2nd best rpg ever. But just a game none the less. Btw that was a killer burn. I'm "not that into good experiences" was devastating.
My Aeris story: Never leveled her. Forces herself into my party at the Temple of the Ancients. She kept dying at the dragon boss battle because she was underleveled. Didn't care for her much but this made me hate her. I laughed when she died and even made a save file just before she died so I could watch it whenever I wanted. Anyway, her theme is nice. tl;dr - Hated Aeris and I laughed when she died.
When Jenova appered she didn't stand a chance I took all the pain and rage out on her I didn't play safe like normal I just unleashed everything I had on her.
Final Fantasy VII remake... which means we're all going to go through "the pain" again... That heart aching feeling... That emptiness left behind... And the tears rolling down your cheek...
This song on piano will be played at my funeral when I die. I hope this song plays through my head during my last breath. It will and always has brought peace to my heart. Elegant cover!
God i almost forgot that final fantasy 7 was the greatest game ive ever played. thanks for reminding me :) 11 years later i still miss this masterpiece
What a beautiful song... I've never played FF VII, but the music makes me feel so... I don't know, so emotional ! This is simply beautiful... Thank you.
So true. I ball tears when I hear this theme. And this was the best game ever made. Period. I don't even play other games now because they pale in comparison to this one. Over the years, I've played this game through about 10 times.
It's been over a decade since I first heard this, heck I think I can scroll through my comments and still find my original comment using a different account, and this is STILL the definitive version of Aerith's theme I've ever heard. Fantastic. Just fantastic. 👏
"Aerith Is Gone" " *Aerith will no longer talk, no longer laugh... cry... or get angry* " "What about us... what are we supposed to do?" "What about my pain?" "My finger are tingling, my mouth is dry, my eyes are burning" 😢😢😭😭😭😢😢
1) kinda bummer move letting her death out of the bag now that there’s a remake 2) gonna straight up ugly cry when I have to see this again in the remake
Thank you for the best years of my childhood...I will never forget. This music is seriously the best thing I've ever had the privilege to hear. It still makes me tear up.
Wow, this is fantastic. It's always songs like this that make me want to learn to play the piano. Honestly it's one of the most beautiful instruments imo, if not THE most beautiful.
Those first few notes bring back the heart break instantly I can't listen to this without crying. Even with my memory problems I am sent back to the day when I was 15. I was sent home from school after being quite badly beaten up by my bullies. I played FF7 to take my mind off the insident and the pain. But little did I know what was going to happen at the city of the ancients. It hurt more than those cuts and bruises ever could. I don't know if I can survive when the remake gets to that bit. Aerith looks so amazing now you can really see her wonderful personality shines through in her expressions. I don't know if I can watch the life fade away from those beautiful green eyes again.
If you played the north american release in 1997, she was (and for most people still is) Aeris. There is no 'th' sound in Japanese, so her name ended in the character 'su' (earisu). 'Su' is used for words that end in 's' as well as for words with 'th', so both Aerith and Aeris is a correct translation of the Japanese characters. Obviously whoever translated the game back then was not provided the exact English spelling and most people would translate those characters as Aeris. And if you're gonna correct someone, you might want to get it right yourself. *Aerith.
Ha, cool. I bought a piano quite a few years ago, mainly to play this and Eternity from FFX-2. And now, all those years later... I still can't play them. But... I can play like the first couple of minutes of Eternity and the first minute of this, and honestly, even being able to do that makes me so, so happy. If only I had the talent and dedication to become better.
Buffoon1980 well dude, hardwork beats talent.. that's what i believe.. keep training and i'm pretty sure you'll work it out.. if you think it's too hard to play both hands altogether.. you can start with your right then followed with your left, after you're good with each of your hands.. you can try combining them.. that's what i usually do 😊 good luck
Levina Caroline Thanks for the encouragement :) I'm still soldiering on with learning stuff, in fact I just went back to Aerith's Theme last week. It's so, so slow for me to learn even the most basic sequence of notes, it feels like such hard work. I'm not complaining, I'm just... very lazy and braindead :P Still, it's worth it, just to see even a tiny improvement.
thank you for that.... aerith is dearly missed. i can't believe this song just pulled tears out of my eyes. they were a mixture of happy tears, sad tears and tears of hope. this one tiny midi song left a sensitive spot in my heart that no other game on earth has come close to matching! this piano cover was amazing! omg i'm such a dork...
I love this song...I know it's been said time and time again but the emotions that run through every nerve ending when hearing this song is just unreal. Your playing of it is just as awesome as the professional copies. :) Inspires me to play my dusty keyboard more.
Who else's daughter is named Aeris, or Aerith after this game? Mine is😁. She is 12 now. Had that much impact. It's amazing what a great story, and even a better soundtrack will do. When I was about 16, I would skip school just to play this game and avenge Aeris death. Took me days, plus a few GameShark codes I used all my money on to kick Sephiroths ass, lol.
I wish youtube allows us to like the same video multiple times. I cud like this video every time I hear it. I can spend an entire afternoon repeating the video.
The music is sheer beauty... Deep and everlasting... Honestly, the only final fantasy series that I played until the end... It was and always be a masterpiece from squaresoft.... Thanks uploader to remind me again about this piece of beauty after 15 years..
Aerith's theme is the most beautiful piece of music ever created and that is not by taste or anything just listen to it and it cuts into the deepest of emotions especially if you have played the game to know the character, so sadly beautiful it's impossible.. I M P O I S S I B L E
***** I think you missed the most wonderful video game. Final Fantasy VII Remake will come out probably in 2017 so I'm doing my best in order to own a ps4. Can't wait to play it.
No such thing as too old for video games as a general principle. You just lost interest in gaming over time it sounds like. It's natural though; it happens to a lot of people. But there's always still "old" gamers out there still kicking too. Different people are different (go figure, right?) Not everyone just stops gaming completely when they hit a certain age. I know people in their 60s still gaming. Stop gaming because you want to, not because you feel "too old" ;) At least that's just my take on it : )
I'm currently learning this song and am in awe of how you played those running 16th notes towards the middle of song with the build up while playing the triplets with your left hand. Struggle bus for me on that part!!!
If you wanted to learn it, you could take 10 seconds and google the sheets. Or look one of the several Synthesia tutorials on RUclips. Stop being lazy.
Alejandro Corpe The reason he probably can't "share" the sheets with us is because the sheets aren't free -- there would likely be a copyright issue. And what's you're advice here? You're telling him if he "found this treasure" he should share it with everyone, as if their hidden or something. The sheets are there, but you can't (legally) get them for free. Again, take 10 seconds and you can figure these things out instead of complaining about it.
I am now going to spend the next year trying to learn this by watching your hands move and perform wonders... this song is so evocative! Brings back memories of better days too! Thank you
Shivers down my entire body listening to this. I'll never know why, but that game felt like another life with all the memories from playing it as a kid. Still the greatest soundtrack of any video game to have ever been recorded. Nobuo Uematsu is a god among men.
Stumbled back upon this video now in 2022 after watching the FF7 25th anniversary stream. And I was instantly transported back to my youth. I remember first watching this video when I was in middle school and I fell in love with your arrangement and how you played it with so much emotion. I even saved the video to my old playlists so I could listen to it always. Unfortunately like many things my playlist got lost over time. But once I saw this again I recognized it immediately and it was almost like seeing an old friend again (nod to Aerith in remake) lol. Safe to say I resaved your video to my playlist again and I wil be sure not to lose it this time. Such a great performance thank you for the memory!
Holy...... Literally in aeris honor.... HOLY this is amazingly beautiful!!!! I started tearing up just listening to it.... It made me relive losing aeris as a kid 💔😭.......
I realy don't understand how people can dislike this video...I really can't understand... There so much feeling in this piece... I could cry by listening to you play this theme... It's just wonderful!
With the remake of FF7 there has been so many "covers" and attempts to play this song.
This video is 13 years old and is still the best performance of this song in RUclips.
Exactly. After listening to various performances on spotify, they all sound like dog shit compared to Arkton's performance. You can feel the raw emotion in his play.
I agree. The key is he doesn't over do it. He plays it soft and sweet and builds up the emotion at the end.
After I studied piano I've found that Arkton's fingering is not ordinary how pianist play these day. That's why the sound is beautiful.
@@Zero-se4xb
He doesn't play it how you should according to Nobuo's composition which is why you may find it unique. I for one, do not like it.
@@Bollibompa which makes you not want Arkton's interpretation? Just curious. Not sure how we should play this according to the composer. Is it the tempo? Fingering?
2019, and I'm learning piano to play this memory by myself despite the fact that my left hand is disfigured since birth. And I will make it!
I'm sure you can! I'm counting on you. If you alredy did it then I'm sure lot of people are proud like me.
Yeah bro! Give us an update! You can do it!
Did you learn it?
Update us!
Let's GOOOO!!!
16 years later, it still for me the best cover i've ever heard.
Agree
almost better than the original
yes
It carries so much. Your interpretation goes right to the deepest of the heart and brings back the binded hope, love and sadness of Aerith's story. Thank you 😇
This version of the song was played beautifully at my little brothers funeral after he took his own life. It was the most beautiful heart breaking thing. He loved the final fantasies. I miss him so much
my son also loved Final fantasy he played this song on piano over and over each night he died by suicide we played To Zanarkand at his funeral
Carol Rock omg my condolences...
Thanks for your reply. These tunes will haunt me forever more they play over and over in my head everyday.
Beautiful version is this Kyle Landry?
I am crying. I feel with you fellow humans.
My eyes get shiny when I listen to this.
Mine too lol
+Jaykmeit Yes. The story was so good. There was nothing more innocent and sincere than Aeris in that world. She was the opposite of Sephiroth. Even Cloud, Barret, and Tifa had their issues but Aeris was just a perfect little sunbeam that gave you hope for the future and when she died it tore your high school heart out. No moment in any video game has ever been felt more.
+Jennifer Harvey Sooo true!
ummmmm you know it is just a game right?
M ln M ln LMAO! Calm down dude! I loved the game too but shit she's just a character! Waxing poetic like she was the savior of this world and saying she was "sincere and innocent" is a bit much. 2nd best rpg ever. But just a game none the less. Btw that was a killer burn. I'm "not that into good experiences" was devastating.
This arrangement is ahead of its time.
Fighting Jenova after to this song was gut wrenching. You didn't even have time to process what had just happened lol.
Exactly! After that incident you just became so angry and wanted to take down that b**** for good!! xD
My Aeris story:
Never leveled her.
Forces herself into my party at the Temple of the Ancients.
She kept dying at the dragon boss battle because she was underleveled.
Didn't care for her much but this made me hate her.
I laughed when she died and even made a save file just before she died
so I could watch it whenever I wanted.
Anyway, her theme is nice.
tl;dr - Hated Aeris and I laughed when she died.
+chunkymonkey as a healer I always had her in my party. So once I got over the initial upset I was so mad! I had spent hours leveling her up. Lol.
@@2tonesg damn nigga u cold
When Jenova appered she didn't stand a chance I took all the pain and rage out on her I didn't play safe like normal I just unleashed everything I had on her.
When I'm lonely I came here,
This reminds me my happy and feel sad childhood.
Missing my old friends,
Final Fantasy VII remake... which means we're all going to go through "the pain" again...
That heart aching feeling...
That emptiness left behind...
And the tears rolling down your cheek...

This song on piano will be played at my funeral when I die. I hope this song plays through my head during my last breath. It will and always has brought peace to my heart. Elegant cover!
People are going to suicide if you put this on your funeral. It will make everything x100 sadder!
Beautifully said and concurred.
For me too.....
In 25 years of my life, I have not never felt at home, in this world. It reflects me. Thanks for making me listen to this song!
God i almost forgot that final fantasy 7 was the greatest game ive ever played. thanks for reminding me :)
11 years later i still miss this masterpiece
PLAY IT THEN, why miss it
Then grab it on Steam and apply the 20GB fan-modpack to make it an HD version where you can save Aerith. ^^
Buddhabright What there's a modpack? No way, how did I not know this.
There's a mod manager called 7th Heaven, and there's one that's a bit harder to use called Bootleg.

great game.
what are you waiting for? Play it! :)
You are in for an amazing JOURNEY
What are u waiting for?

Your comment made me lol. Ty
to think they want to remake the game... they will do it no justice.

Weird to think that in 2007 this game was only 10 years old, and now it's over 25....
Arkton deserves billions of views !!!! Its been 4 years 😢. Where have you gone 😭
You know a game is a masterpiece when just a single song from it can provoke such an emotional response years after you put it down.
possibly the sadest moment in gaming history.. aries death
