This theme perfectly captures FFXV. Fleeting moments of joy amidst a beautifully tragical journey, and conveys the nobility and courage of those who endure in that path.
Now that I've been listening every day for about 4 years, I can comment. This is a very emotional piece for me. Thank you for putting your soul into this piece. masterpiece in piano🎉
A very stylish and inspired performance showing superb technical skill in playing this extremely difficult piece. Congratulations Kara on a wonderful artistic achievement.
@@WastedTalent83 She played it very well indeed, but I wouldn't say it's extremely difficult either. Out of the piano Collection I'd say Omnis Lacrima is likely to be the most difficult one
Ohh HEAVENS!! You just transported me to the summer of 2016, the night after Christmas, where I kept playing this work of art for hours and hours. Listening to you, I just want to go back to that time and to replay this wonderful game. The musical composition of FFXV is unique and great. Thank you very much for playing it :')
Oh my word...it would take me so many months to learn this...and so many takes too. That's definitely one of the most challenging pieces you've ever played on your channel. To quote one of my favourite movies, your version isn't beautiful, it's necessary.
I just read the description on this video. I know it's an older one, but I know how frustrating it can be when even just 1 small thing happens. just 1 wrong note and the whole thing must be redone. Having Dealt with a Cold, Equipment Failure, on top of the preparation, skill and confidence needed to pull this off is no small task. And this is just one song out of the many you've uploaded! I greatly appreciate your videos and the effort you put into making them, you are inspiring, and I wish I could do what you do
Hey ! I feel really close to you because I worked on (almost) every pieces you play ! FF ost inspired me 15 years ago to start playing the piano and i really love the way you play all those magnificent pieces :) FFXV piano arrangements are particulary hard compare to others (imo), i'm by now struggling on this one. This is why I ended here and discovered your channel. This is truly a GREAT work you've done here and you can be proud of your interpretation ! Beautiful music played by a beautiful pianist, i'll definitely check your next uploads !
You play with such grace and skill. I love watching people cover video game music, but there's something extra special about these performances of the arrangements. They're very moving, and I'm thrilled RUclips's algorithm to find me good music led me to find you!
It is the very nice interruption from a classic pianist point of view. I just started piano classes. Just look at the way your hands were dancing on keys has given me a lot of inspirations! Thank you for the effort.
Wow that was a fantastic performance! I've been attempting to get this piece up to tempo and have not had as much success hahaha. You play it beautifully. Incredible work as always! Also, thank you for sharing your struggles with this piece in the description. It's nice to know that bigger and more talented pianists on RUclips have some of the same struggles when preparing/recording pieces as I do. Have a wonderful day!
Every piece you play is a real pleasure. Beyond your awesome skills, your piano touch is subtile, refined making a different way of performing. Thanks sharing all of this with us.
This beautiful recording is really worth the adventure to get it done. Congratulations! This arrangement has some beautiful arpeggios on the left hand. I loved this! The change of character on the modulation was beautiful done too!
Thank you! My whole family was sick of this piece by time I recorded it XDThat goes to show I played it constantly for a long time XD I'm so happy you liked how it turned out!
So beautiful performance!!! Thank you for sharing your story playing this beast...sometimes we forget how much effort takes to play music like this, and you gave us a lesson of sacrifice to get great things done. You gave me a great dose of motivation.
Wow :) This instantly became one of my favourites from your channel! Seeing you play with such passion is inspiring me to continue practicing the piano. Thank you!
Wow, you took this on as well! Magnificent performance and easily one of my top two arrangements from FFXV, the other being Omnis Lacrima. Such iconic pieces from this series. Again, Bravo 👏
Hello Kara, Really talented pianist!!! It feels like the soul is contained in every sound you play. I don't get tired of watching the figure you are playing brilliantly. Thanks for great video! All the best to you, Have a wonderful day♪
MY GOODNESS THIS IS AMAZING Can't believe you have such little views because I LOVED your interpretation of this piece. Seeing you complete this difficult piece just motivates me to work harder.
Somehow the adventure of FF came to you, the expectation of the joy you 'll have to live and share this music, followed by a struggle with the destiny itself and finally come the achievement. Can't judge the way you play, i'm not a pianist, but i can say i took pleasure to listen what you played.
Just found you and already a huge fan! Between your playing the FF piano collections and phenomenal nutcracker interpretation, I see just how much I've been missing out! Looking forward to more from you
OMG, this song is wonderfull! and even better with you playing, it make's me wanna dance waltz every time i listen! Thank you, i'd love to hear you playing mix of battle themes of FF's series!! Keep going, you're wonderfull!
Yeaaay another upload from you! Couldn't wait to see what you'd pick, and I was so hyped to see you did Waltz di Fantastica! I can definitely feel your struggle of trying to get one good take XD But this sounded absolutely wonderful
Absolutely incredible cover! I've always loved this song, and it sounds fantastic on piano! Never had much talent on a piano myself, but you play beautifully!
I love watching your videos Kara, everyday I listen to your playing, it's beautiful. I wish I could play this good some day again :) Great to see a new video too!!
Ah, so this video thought it could sneak by me without viewing it! I know FFXV gets a lot of flack, but I enjoyed the game thoroughly despite its criticisms. As for your performance, your embellishments greatly enriched this piece--it's evident that you poured yourself into this one (in spite of several factors working against you). And that ending? *Phenomenal!*
Yokos such a great composer, there was a time when I pretty much only listened to nobuo. Refused to let anything else enter my dome .yoko "roos" (rules) as my friends say back home. Legend of mana soundtrack is the jam. Thanks again :)
Absolutely. Super Mario RPG and Parasite Eve were both excellent. And Kingdom Hearts.....wow.....couldn't have been better. Such an incredible game and her score for it was amazing. I couldn't imagine a composer better suited to succeed Nobuo Uematsu on the Final Fantasy series.
I have been following you for a little while and I was waiting for this masterpiece, and well I'm not disapointed. Amazing work, Kara Keep up the FF Piano covers, they are amazing :)
I don't play piano but this looks very challenging! Amazing performance, I really like this (one of my favorite from the soundtrack). I'll be checking out more of your videos for sure!
Brilliant performance as always! :) I can definitely understand how physically taxing this piece can be, but I think this performance was wonderful as usual. Thanks for sharing!
I've been waiting for this for so long.. video came out really beautiful.. love the camera angles too.. and mastering is well too.. everything is perfect.. 💞💞💞
You nailed it, Miss Kara!, even though the struggle was real,you did it; lessons in life are learned on very simple things. Hope you're doing OK and get well soon.
Wow!! :O I read the description while listening to this. All in all, I'd say this performance of the piece turned out beautiful! Very melodic and dreamy to listen to. At the end of the description, you mention "imperfections"... I didn't notice any. Reminds me of what one of my former managers told a young piano student who was nervous about playing in a piano recital a few years ago: "If you make a mistake, stop, and apologize for the mistake, then it's a mistake. If you make a mistake, improvise as best you can, and keep going... then it's Jazz!" :) Either way, like I said, it turned out beautiful. Thank you for sharing!
Just now listened to the in-game composition for comparison... I still did not spot any flaws! You *definitely* do this piece justice! You're awesome. :)
I love this piece, one of Shemomuras best jobs. I was surpriced by the tecnical requiremets of the arrangement (which I think was also done by Shemomury) very good job specially in the legato of the octaves which is really triky
Your hard work paid off... you nailed it! Even after all the frustration with recording a good take, you didn't show a hint of it on this recording. Beautiful!
I don't know this song's original composition since I haven't played Final Fantasy past the twelfth installment, but it sure bears the Final Fantasy touch in terms of music and I admire that, I love how you played it regardless and your interpretation of it fantastic as always!! Great work again Kara!! I'll always prefer the compositions from the older titles though ahah since they bring me nostalgia, and I associate them with memories of playing them :D
I'm glad you picked this one, and sorry it was frustrating to record. It's lovely and that new piano is glad to have you lol. Those chord movements on the right hand are intense after a while! Well done as always. Love it!
In my country we say : "eyes are mirror of the soul " .. and in yours, who plays too, can read what you really feel in the while. Ty x let me join your emotion..
Kara, after your cover of "Those that fight" I was mesmerised by your skill and grace, I watched all of your videos now and after doing so have now decided to encourage my 4 year old daughter to learn to play, I hope one day she will rival your skill. Thank you dearly. X
One of my favorite song from the piano collection. Don't I know the struggle of getting a good take from practicing for a long time and when it is time to record, everything seems to go wrong. Despite that, I think you did an amazing job with this piece. :)
This theme perfectly captures FFXV. Fleeting moments of joy amidst a beautifully tragical journey, and conveys the nobility and courage of those who endure in that path.
This^
This OST gives the game so much character and personality and this one is the base for it all.
You've finally tackled this beast!! Heh.
Took me a year XDDDD
i realize Im kinda randomly asking but does anybody know a good site to watch newly released series online?
Now that I've been listening every day for about 4 years, I can comment. This is a very emotional piece for me. Thank you for putting your soul into this piece. masterpiece in piano🎉
Aw thank you for saying something, means a lot to me!
Same here. Brings tears to my eyes.
six years and I keep coming back to this video
A very stylish and inspired performance showing superb technical skill in playing this extremely difficult piece. Congratulations Kara on a wonderful artistic achievement.
Thank you Paul!! It was worth every minute :)
he is right but.. Extremely difficult?O_o
@@WastedTalent83
She played it very well indeed, but I wouldn't say it's extremely difficult either. Out of the piano Collection I'd say Omnis Lacrima is likely to be the most difficult one
I have lost count of the number of times I've listened to this particular video. It really is lovely.

you can feel the fire in her soul transferred into the piano...
Beautifully done. The OST of FFXV is so incredible, and so is this video.
Thank you for your hard wok, absolutely wonderful. Bravo

Most underrated track in FFXV. Awesome job, it sounds worth the trouble you had to go through.
This is very nice to listen to! Excellent work, Kara.
I'm still listening to this today. It's still one of my favorite song and the best rendition of it I've heard.
Hey ! I feel really close to you because I worked on (almost) every pieces you play ! FF ost inspired me 15 years ago to start playing the piano and i really love the way you play all those magnificent pieces :)

Beautiful music played by a beautiful pianist, i'll definitely check your next uploads !
Wow what a cool way to have been inspired! I didn't know most of the FF themes until i was in my late 20s. I wish i had learned them sooner!
The ending from 3:20 onward gets to my soul. Great job!
Absolutely beautiful. Your hard work clearly shines effortlessly!
Excellent, Kara! Came out beautifully!
Glad you kept with it and nailed it
Kara, this piece was absolutely fantastica! Keep up the great work!
Where’d you learn that one Noct?
You play with such grace and skill. I love watching people cover video game music, but there's something extra special about these performances of the arrangements. They're very moving, and I'm thrilled RUclips's algorithm to find me good music led me to find you!
Merry Christmas Kara. This is the best thing I've heard all day.
I love how relaxed you look when you are playing your music. Fantastic job!!
You're awesome, just started learning piano and seeing you playing this song boosted my motivation of what is possible to be accomplished!
It is the very nice interruption from a classic pianist point of view.
I just started piano classes. Just look at the way your hands were dancing on keys has given me a lot of inspirations! Thank you for the effort.
Mesmerized, I have it on repeat. It the best cover in youtube by far. Thank you for giving us this jewel!

This evokes lots of memories. Thanks for the wonderful rendition! It is just smooth listening even as it demands such precision technique.
Wow, as a fan of the game and in particularly this soundtrack, what you did here was nothing short of a masterpiece!
this was absolutely breathtaking. you've outdone yourself. it was beautiful!!!
This beautiful recording is really worth the adventure to get it done. Congratulations! This arrangement has some beautiful arpeggios on the left hand. I loved this! The change of character on the modulation was beautiful done too!

One of my favourite FFXV pieces hands down. Lovely cover, the piano sounds incredible!
One of mine too, and I love both the slow version and fast :)
So beautiful performance!!! Thank you for sharing your story playing this beast...sometimes we forget how much effort takes to play music like this, and you gave us a lesson of sacrifice to get great things done. You gave me a great dose of motivation.
You really are the most beautiful sit reader. I'm by ear, I don't understand what you do. It's amazing.

This is amazing. Thanks for putting all the work for us.
So amazing !! Thank's for this great performance Kara !!
Such a beautiful gem. You play like nothing is ever too hard for you!
Can't stop listening to the final phrases! I'm replaying this again and again.
This is my fav of your plays, every time I reproduce your FF list. The emotion that gives/has ... *mind explosion*. Claps energetically (:
This performance deserves a standing ovation. May my comment, like and ovation from my bedroom in my pyjamas suffice. Magnificent.
Kara, you are simply amazing. Love it
Wow, you took this on as well! Magnificent performance and easily one of my top two arrangements from FFXV, the other being Omnis Lacrima. Such iconic pieces from this series. Again, Bravo 👏

By the way, any chance for a Chrono Cross rendition?.
Truly one of your best performances!
