- OKAY! So first--as I just posted about in the community tab--I have a new Final Fantasy piano album out! songwhip.com/p.... I had to make a separate post to show off Ian's amazing album art which I love with my whole being so please do check it out!!!!
Second, this arrangement is dedicated to the one, the only, the insanely great and accomplished @mechachoi, incredible pianist and overall modern Renaissance genius who invented the Flip Grip for the Switch in conjunction with Jeremy Parish, which allows you to play classic shmups like Ikaruga as God Intended in vertical arcade mode, but also builds his own custom cabinets for his digital pianos and turned his Ring Fit peripheral into a Mario Kart controller and recreated a STAGGERINGLY detailed and exquisite authentic Korean city center complete with spa and restaurant in his Animal Crossing New Horizons island, and really I could go on and on about everything he's done and is able to do but you guys get the picture lol. So for some reason I still can't comprehend, he mentioned to me that he loved my absolutely horrendous 2014 rendition of 1000 Words on Spotify and listened to it like almost daily, to which I was so mortified that I was inspired to arrange and record a new version. My older version of 1000 Words is off the piano collections, the slow solo piano version, which is a nice arrangement, but the version that's close to my heart is the Sweetbox version--I watched that concert cutscene like a bazillion times because I love it so much GAHHHH I GET SO EMOTIONAL THINKING ABOUT IT 😭 So this was the perfect opportunity to actually try to do that, thanks to Mike!!! ❤️❤️
This was rather fun to arrange but absolute hell to learn, but worth it--it's got so much tasty hip hop influence and a funky bass ❤️❤️ I hope you all like it! FFX-2 IS AWESOME OMG I KNOW IT GETS SO MUCH HATE but I was so, SO SO addicted to that game, it was so girly and quirky and fun and unhinged, I love it more than FFX. (Yes I went there!!) Combat was exhilarating, Paine is the GOAT, first turn based FF where you could actually interrupt enemy attacks, which was pretty great!!
Anyways I'm very excited to share this new version, especially the wonderful person who inspired it (please go check out his YT, you will not be disappointed), and I hope you guys like it, and the new album as well!!! Have a great weekend!!!!!
Ruby!! This is the most special thing ever. Thank you for the countless hours of incredible music that can untangle my brain and calm my soul, while at the same time inspiring me. Your music has accompanied me during so many different moments that it just blends into the fabric of my memories over the years, your mind would boggle at how much of my life your music and arrangements have been the soundtrack for. Thank you for being such an awesome, caring, and supportive friend always cheering me on and humoring my ridiculousness. You’re so amazing and I appreciate you!!! 🥹
Mike omg I hope you know you are one of the most unique and accomplished individuals i have ever met in my entire danged life and there is LITERALLY no one like you ahahaha, like i can't even fathom how someone of your immense depth and breadth of knowledge and talent could ever find value in the work of a normie like me LMAOOOOOO. But somehow you do and I'm just, beyond humbled by that buddy, so thank you so, so much. Speaks volumes about the kind of person you are, more than it does about me or what I do.
omg this is such a classic and it never fails to take me back to when I was a kid. Gosh this piano cover is gorgeous, probably my fave piano cover of this song from here on out.
Seriously, your arrangements are incredible. Please please keep making them!
ahhh thank you so much!!!!!!!!
Lovely work as per usual! I remember keeping a special save on my PS2 specifically for this song haha, I loved this song back then and would start up the PS2 just to have the song and cutscene play haha
OMG THIS WAS ME!!!! TOTALLY ME!!!!!! AHHH I HAD A SPECIAL SAVE FILE JUST TO SEE THAT CUTSCENE AND SONG because this was like before youtube really got going hahaha YOU GET IT ❤❤❤❤ thank you so much, I'm glad someone else did this too hahaha

I've loved this song going back to the game's release but honestly I didn't realize it was even better than I thought. You made me appreciate it in a new way. Just wonderful.

After over 20 years... truly a masterpiece played by a master❤
AHHH hardly a master omg just trying my best!!! lol thank you though!!!!!
wow, schala out with another top tier banger. who could've possibly foreseen this outcome?
LMAO!!!! you're the best man, thank you!!!!!!!!
@@purpleschala second only to those chops!!!!!!!
Omg this is beautiful!!!! In spite of never playing FFX-2, I LOVE singing this song, so it was a real treat to hear your rendition of it. Love the funky bass line haha!
aww thanks so much girl!!!
@@purpleschala I actually made a cover of this already last year LOL! And you’re absolutely welcome!!!!
I was wondering why the original one you did was so different than the cut scene, I didn't realize they had two versions. When I would look it up on here, the cut scene pops up first. Nice job as always!
HAHA yes the slow solo piano version plays near the end, or during the credits I believe? It's easy to miss!!!! and thank you!!!!!
purpleschala, This is perfect! I subscribed right away!
Thank you so much!!!!!
This song perfectly portrays the way the game wants you to feel. Sorrow, determination, and melancholy or something. This is so good. It's crazy how well you are able to inject emotion into the piece.
AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH SHIRAYASHA!!!!
amazing work as always!
Ahh thank you Pablo!!!
Beautiful as always. ^_^ ❤
AHHHHHHHH MIKE!!!!!!!
Thank you Purple Schala !❤️❤️❤️😊

Absolutely GORGEOUS! Ugh I love this song. Literally teared up to your version of it. T_T Love you Schala! Thank you for constantly putting out some of the best piano renditions on RUclips!!
This is so beautiful and emotional 🥲. I really admire how full and warm your arrangements are. Fantastic job as always!
AHHHHH THANKS SO MUCH GIRL!!!!
Lovely arrangement of this song. So much emotions in this one piece.
AHHHH JIMMY!!!!! thank you!!! this one is SUPER dear to me hahahaha
Just starting to learn piano. I must reach this level.
aw yay take your time and enjoy the journey!!!!
Could you please possibly cover Beyond Fate (Enya's Song) from the Stellar Blade OST? When I first heard it you were the first person that popped into my mind. I think it's a really special song.
aw thanks so much for thinking of me! I'll keep an ear out for it when I get around to playing the game, the little I've heard of the OST is really really good!
Straight to my my favorites.
thank you so much!!!!
Great song choice and your performance is as magical as the original. Simply beautiful
thank you so much!!!! so glad to see X-2 appreciation, the game and OST are amazing!

@@purpleschala You're very welcome! It's a great blast of nostalgia! 🙏😊✨
Yoooo I'm busy right now and can't listen to this but had to come leave a comment because this is a great song and you always do such great versions of things. Really looking forward to listening to this 1000 times over the next few months.
omg Matthew thank you so much for stopping by!!!!! Hope all is well and it's a good busy not the bad kind haha!
@@purpleschala It's a bit both good and bad - but better than not being busy! Just a little job hunting and figuring some stuff out.
hey schala!!!!
can you do any mega man or sonic the hedgehog songs?
i'd love to hear doomsday zone sonic 3 but idk if its possible lol
aw I'm sorry I don't take requests, too much of my own stuff I want to do, and I don't play Sonic, Mega Man OSTs are the bomb though. Try hitting up Animalisa Keys or Kara Comparetto, really excellent pianists who take requests!
One of these days I'll play X-2. Going through FF13 rn
AHHHHH XIII IS THE GOAT 😍😍😍😍 so glad to hear you’re playing it, def no rush enjoy your time with it!!! ❤️
...you're crying! 🥺🥹
I AM I ADMIT IT LMAO I GET ALL WEEPY AND DISGUSTING OVER LENNE AND SHUYIN THAT JERK LOL
Lol yeah this is literally one of my favorite FFX songs ever - we played it at our wedding even (no joke!)
So thank you for such a beautiful song, you are greatly appreciated 🫶
P.S: Shuyin is SUCH a jerk lol def no Tidus 😆
What passionate playing! Stellar as always!
I haven't tried any FF games, is there a good starting point?
It depends on what you like! The series is different almost every time. If you have a PS5 and prefer action, 7 Remake is extremely good. If turn-based is okay, 6 7 and 10 are all classics. Or any FF that you think looks interesting story-wise 🙂
OOOOOOOO yayyyy ok sorry in advance this is gonna be a long reply I am gonna LOVE writing haha, but yes as the other person mentioned, gameplay-wise it depends on what you like, and every entry is a standalone title with a whole new cast and world (except the sequels) so you can really start any of them that looks appealing. That said, with gameplay preferences in mind, it is primarily turn-based combat. FFXVI is one of the only FFs with real-time combat, similar to DMC. OG Crisis Core also has real time combat similar to Kingdom Hearts, and so does Stranger of Paradise but with a party system. FF7 Remake and Rebirth and Crisis Core Reunion have an interesting hybrid system of turn-based and real-time that's awesome and innovative, def worth checking out. Objectively, I would recommend FFX or FF7 Remake as good entry points. FFX is the most balanced title with a great cast, story, fun combat, and a gorgeous visuals that still hold up today despite being a PS2 game, especially with the remaster. FF7 Remake is also a fantastic entry, though OG FF7 fans will fight in the trenches forever about how people absolutely need to play the OG FF7 to appreciate Remake as an OG FF7 fan myself I disagree, reading a summary of the story of the original is enough because who the hell has time to squeeze in a 70+ hour RPG these days as a prerequisite to the game you really wanna play (though on God Mode and 2x speed it takes only 15 hours, but STILL lol.) FFXVI is also an entry point for a lot of people but one I hesitate to recommend only because it's so different from the 15+ games that came before, with the real time combat (which is honestly really fun), but also the focus on a single protagonist instead of journeying with a whole party you can control, which is what Final Fantasy is all about, so you won't get a sense of the FF legacy with that one like you would with FFX and FF7 Remake. For my personal favorites, I love Final Fantasy Tactics though it's not exactly a good one to start with because it's an SRPG with a stiff learning curve and punishing difficulty but by golly the story is still the best one to this day, and FFXIII, which is deeply polarizing, but the cast is amazing, the themes are profound, THE OST ABSOLUTELY SLAPS OMG and my favorite protag is Lightning, plus even though it's turn-based it feels like the next step up in turn-based combat, it's so exciting and fluid, you can really see how Remake's hybrid system evolved from XIII. FFVI is also in my top 3, but might be reaching a little too far back to SNES style graphics, if you're not in the mood for that, though the Pixel Remaster does make it a nice retro experience without all the QoL frustrations hahaha, plus you can play it on mobile if you want. It's a banger though omg. I hope that helps!!! let me know if you do take the plunge which you start with and what you think!!!
I get the sense that you're ever so slightly passionate about the series, lol! Thank you both for the responses, I will take a look into them! I have the OG FF7 and know that a lot of people like it, the remake looks incredible but I don't have a PS5. Maybe with mods I could make the OG look better. FF15 also drew my attention, I loved playing the demo of that one but I've heard it's not as consistent or great over time.
That said, I DO have a lot of backlog. RDR2, Fallout New Vegas, and Lies of P (on NG+) are a few, and Octopath COTC just got a huge update that includes the final boss of the last main story and a lot of other amazing content, so it may be some time. I also picked up Octopath 1 since it went on sale, and I adore the combat for those games.
@@OokiiPeter OH DAMN thanks for reminding me of COTC, I fell off that one shortly before OT2 when the story left off and they started gating progression HARD after hitting level 50 and I was getting annoyed lol, but someone (was it you?) told me there have been major story updates that have been getting good so I need to get back to that!!! OT1 is baller, nice one! Lies of P I have heard nothing but amazing things, I swear one of these days I'll get over being intimidated by soulslikes hahaha. RDR2 got on my radar only because it was pitted in some silly online tournament bracket against SOTN and won by an overwhelmingly majority and of course I'm all like WHAT COULD POSSIBLY BE BETTER THAN SOTN lmao so i've been lowkey curious hahaha. Also regarding FF15, the criticisms were true at launch, but it's worth playing the Royal Edition, that's the best version of 15 right now, though some of the criticisms are still valid (major story beats happening offscreen...smh) but if you loved the demo I think you'll enjoy Royal Edition! =) but yes backlog ahahaha
Yeah, COTC gets really tough in some of the end-game, especially if you don't have some of the more limited units. There's a really really good banner going on right now, with both featured units being some of the best in the game (and one being very future-proof). It just got the final main story update a week or so ago, and the final boss is a biiiig fight (but also very cool and flashy in typical JRPG fashion). If you don't want to commit to playing - which I get with so much else going on and with the difficulty - maybe you could watch some playthroughs or something just to get the idea of how it goes?
Lies of P was fantastic!! There is the option to summon an AI companion for bosses, which really makes it very friendly towards those getting into the genre/game, and with the amount of mechanics that steamline the experience, it really is a fantastic entry point IMO.
I have to get around to RDR2 more! It had a looooooooot going on (which was impressive but almost overwhelming to me). It's a fantastic game, but I also really really adored SOTN - it's such a historic game, and is really good. I think the reason RDR2 may have one is because it's more modern, meaning more people have played it, and it's quite massive/expansive. I adored SOTN, and what I've played of RDR2 is impressive, but I honestly couldn't even think of pitting them against one another!
Where can I get the sheet music for this?
working on it--thanks for your patience!
FFX!! ...-2!!! 😍😍😍
ALSO, I'm going to DM you on Twitter about something soon as a heads up!
AHHHH STEFAN!!! yes please do!!!
any chance you ll be selling this sheet music ?
I utterly loathed the game but I can't deny it had great music.
lol totally fair!!! it was bizarre af and tonal whiplash from the somber nature of FFX, people either loved it or hated it and that's entirely justified haha.
