So glad to see you giving so much love back to arguably the most influential series of all time, and making such a positive mark on these already amazing songs. Glad I found you.
Well done on all of these tbh. Listened to the originals probably 500x each while working, doing stuff around the house, studying, whatever and you do well to honor the originals with 1:1 sound but add in your own charm. Very nice. Your channel quickly became a favorite. Piano can convey so much emotion so well. Speaking of emotion if you wear a mood ring does it sing to you? :P Jk! Love your work I'll be a long time listener
FF1 was not that good, i had it on NES back in the day and never cared for it, 2 onwards really took the series in the right direction, and 6 is probably the best in the series.
Your arrangement of Aerith's (if it's yours?) theme litterally made me cry, in a moment where I believe I had something that needed to be externalized. I listen to music every day and I don't think I've found anything that's moved me as much in the past 5 years at least. Thank you for this.
Judah Short true. I guess it’s something else to manage, in terms of patreon rewards and all that :) it’s on the consideration list, just not an urgent priority
@@lara6683 I can respect that. And I see where you are coming from in regards to making perks for that while perks existing for twitch. I just can rarely catch you on twitch so I'd love to support somehow.
@@lara6683 Well if you do go down that avenue one reward option might be a video series where you teach music and stuff, I'm sure lots of people would love that. I say teach music but more accurately I mean "teach how to be even half as awesome as you at it"
Am I lucky --- or what ? It is 6:06 AM in the eastern time zone this morning. And I caught Lara6683 playing her music with only 50 viewers ahead of me with the only comment being Lara herself 13-minutes ago !!! Usually, I catch Lara with thousands of viewers ahead of me and zillions of comments already. Nice job on this one Lara6683 and on all your ones before as well !!! ...Bruce of Myrtle Beach, SC**********
I have played the piano for 39 years and have always wanted to arrange some old video game music on the piano but have never gotten around to it. Your arrangements are gorgeous and inspiring. I can't like your videos enough. Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent!
Okay so I watched from start to finish, and restarted. After an hour of these beautifully recomposed compositions, Matoyas Cave hits the nostalgic button all over again.
@lara6683 I am so surprised your stuff doesn’t have more likes, subs! You’re INCREDIBLY talented. Thank you so much for the nostalgia and your beautiful music. Especially he DKC stuff! That’s one RUclips/twitch sub from me! Thank you!
Wow! You are talented! You brought a tear to this old man's eye. Played FF1 when it first came out and you brought back great memories of my childhood. Thank you.
Hi Lara, I love your videos. Listened to the Donkey Kong collection probably a dozen times all the way through (and shared with others :)) What kind of piano do you use? Does it come with "hammer action"?
Got teary-eyed at Celes, started sniffling at Forever Rachel, and Aerith's theme was the final bit that broke the dam. I was not expecting to cry this morning. This is a true testament to A) How amazing these soundtracks are and B) How even more amazing Lara is at playing
notice how nobody in the chat even seemed to notice she was playing that song.. makes me think twitch is full of little plebs who just wanna look at a woman on camera...
@@JChill296 As a young fella, my dad forced me to play ff 7 8 and 9 on the PS1. I eventually sticked to it and loved it ! At some point, the graphics didnt even bother me. It was such an experience ! My and my dad almost cried when Aerith..well, and we also almost cried when they presented the father of red. It was such an emotional trip and those characters felt more alive than anything else, even if they were just geometrical forms. Now i dont know if i should try ff6 ff5 4 and more..i just dont know where to download them ^^'
I write books. The beautiful piano music Lara plays help keep me in that creative state of flow. I love these Final Fantasy and the Castlevania songs best. Thank you Lara, for keeping a fellow artist fueled and inspired.
I was going to listen to this right before bed, then I realized it's over an hour long... Lara you're incredible! :) Time to listen to A Wish (Secret of Mana) and save this for later!
Wonderful playing! My favorite FF7 piece with the main theme motif is Words Drowned By Fireworks (during the date scene). My favorite FF7 piece with the Aerith motif is Flowers Blooming In The Church (during the scene when Cloud crashes through the church ceiling) No real reason I mentioned. :)
Thank you so much for uploading your pieces on YT. I regularly listen to your mega medley and now will do the same with this medley, they really make me happy (and nostalgic).
So much nostalgia when you play these beautifully put together rpg soundtracks. Your talent and familiarity of them all shows you've done more than learn the music but maybe a few hundred hours of gameplay haha. Well done
I am Japanese. I especially like the Chrono Trigger, FF 6. I was captivated by the beautiful melody. Thank you! 私は日本人です。 クロノトリガー、FF 6が特に好きです。 美しい旋律に虜になりました。 ありがとう！
Thank you Lara. Final fantasy 9 is my all time favourite game. Listening to you play some of the music from it brings back all the memories from playing it as a kid! Such a beautiful piece of music.
How am I just discovering you? You are amazing. Your work is so soul soothing. Just what I needed right now. Thank you 🙏 ❤️ blessings and good fortune to you always
Best rpg ever made = FFIV, on any system, including pc. Been playing since the Good Ol Apple ][ e computer, been a pleasure. FFIV = KING of "ALL" Rpgs.
My favorites: Main Theme of FF4 Terra's Theme Phantom Forest Cele's Theme Forever Rachel Aeris' Theme Main Theme of FF7 Ahead on our Way Eyes on Me Silence Before the Storm
I legit named my one-year-old daughter Aeris (as in that's her first name on her birth certificate) because my wife and I both love FF7 lol. Kinda funny, my daughter ended up with long brown hair and green eyes, maybe when she's older we'll have her cosplay as Aeris haha. Keep up the great work Lara6683! (note: I'm well aware the character's name is Aerith, however over here in the West her name was Aeris in the original PS1 release so that's what we went with).
It would be so awesome if you did some work with Kara Comparetto or Animalisa Keys. I bet you inspired them. You set the tone. The world is grateful, thank you!
Hello! I really like your playing! Do you do collaborations with other musicians ever? I'm new to RUclips, but I cover Final Fantasy a lot, and I thought it might be cool to collaborate.
I am so glad to see someone who likes Final Fantasy this much doing this, as Final Fantasy is so underappreciated. I also appreciate that you did not put One Winged Angel in here like literally every other RUclipsr who does Final Fantasy music, as that song is not that great.
At work, reading a book and walking around the office to get some exercise. The only thing that can make it better is having this playing in the background :-)

Your music heals my soul a little more everytime Lara, thank you...it was so beautiful tears started running down my face..

yikes, 22:34 made me miss a breath
Starting with Matoya's Cave is perfect
Just here trying not to start bawling at work during Aeris's Theme.
So I'm not the only one, heh
Final Fantasy 6 Will and always forever be a masterpiece, Great story and music!
Absolutely. If any FF deserved a remake it should have been 6. Masterpiece
@@reniisgod There is still hope
FF1 is so underrated, from both a gameplay and musical perspective. Lots of people started on FF7 or later and missed out on some great stuff.
FF1 was not that good, i had it on NES back in the day and never cared for it, 2 onwards really took the series in the right direction, and 6 is probably the best in the series.

Got me too with the tears
Same actually. Just hit me like a ton of bricks. Such a powerful piece of music.
Not hers. That version has been around a long long time. Very well performed though.
Too good!
Lara, is there some way we can donate to you outside of Twitch?
Like Patreon for example
Alex Moukala Music not currently! I’d feel bad for double dipping, which is why I don’t have a patreon :)
@@lara6683 okay, but it wouldn't really be double dipping. Just opens up options.

This reminds me of those Final Fantasy MIDI medleys from back in the late 90s. I would listen to them for hours. You did a great job!
Super!!
Great selection, wonderful music, beautiful piano covers!
(Nobuo Uematsu best composer ever!)
Celes’s theme and Aerith’s theme always hits me in the feels 😢
Aerith's Theme is so sad because of the in game events.
Same here, Terra's story along with the tone of her theme always gets me. Same with Aerith too, of course.

48:00 Dali village theme is so relaxing and beautiful. Also underrated. Yours was an amazing performance.
i'd love to hear your version of the castle from the 8. thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us.
No joke. Some of the THE BEST covers of Celes', Aeris' and Cloud's themes. God they hit so hard in the nostalgia.
Okay so I watched from start to finish, and restarted. After an hour of these beautifully recomposed compositions, Matoyas Cave hits the nostalgic button all over again.
'arrangments' is a more succinct way of saying "recomposed compositions" :) I'm glad to hear you were so moved by this performance
Good picks!
I'd probably stick in Rose of May or You're Not Alone from FFIX and Somnus from FFXV
Many a day has there been made listening to these beautiful covers.
Thank you for sharing the passion infused performance(s). :)

Hi Lara, I love your videos. Listened to the Donkey Kong collection probably a dozen times all the way through (and shared with others :))
What kind of piano do you use? Does it come with "hammer action"?
love this but i missed To Zanarkand
Sammy I think it’s because it’s way over requested.
Well thats my evening sorted
I was fine until Aeris's Theme- that's when feels hit really hard

Theme of love is my fav FF song of all, and you performed in such a beatiful way..... so emotional... Obrigado from Brazil!!
I wish "to zanarkand" from FFX was also there ^^. But otherwise, it was perfect : P
LOL! if it's Lara's personal top 20 you know why it ins't going to be there - she gets it requested way TOOO many times! xDD

No real reason I mentioned. :)
No reason is needed to express your love for FF7 music! Especially when Aeris is involved!

I love the soundtrack of FFIV. You play it so beautifully! And "Terra's Theme" and Celes's Theme" gave me goosebumps! Thank you.

Ul'dah night theme from FFXIV plx! Where is Melodies of Life Q_Q
Melodies of Life is 43:21 Crossing Those Hills or a form of it

i love i love i love
Loved every second of this. You really play with passion.
