This piano cover is so perfect that it makes me want to cry. I slowed it down to 0.8x speed and it sounds even more emotional. And I've never heard of the added segment too, which blends so seamlessly with the rest of the piece. This is SOOO GOOOD!
I fell in love with this game 22 yrs ago and still play it sometimes to re visit the memory of the beautiful story and beautiful music. Thank you for this lovely piece of heaven. I can listen this all day.
Gabriel, Doesn't matter how many views you have to realize how a great cover this is, it is a very old game for a niche audience nonetheless and this is understandable, just wanted you to know the little audience that this cover has really appreciate every second of it, thank you.
Hi Gabriel, your arrangement of this song is so amazing. Have you written it down, and is sheet music available for download somewhere? It really must be archived and shared. Also, I thought you may be interested to know the context in which the song first appears in Xenogears (which is mostly a literary experience): it plays at the beginning of the game and awakens "something warm and strange" inside the protagonist, Fei. It plays from a music box that is presumable thousands of years old - or perhaps just the song is thousands of years old. As the story unfolds, we learn that Fei and a woman, Elly, have been continuously reincarnating and falling in love with each other. In some past reincarnation Fei's past self liked the song. So, although Fei is unconscious of what exactly his attraction to the song is, the song awakens memories of his past lives and becomes the theme for an epic love story and, consequently, since the love story and the main plot are inseparable it also becomes the theme for the game as well. Anyway, thank you for this.
I cried nostalgic tears. very beautiful. i miss playing this game with my brother. I remember clearly the scene in the game where this was played. I left the controller untouched so I can listen to this for hours. Your cover is very beautiful :D :D
I remember playing Xenogears as a kid and I never got around to beating it. I am finding a copy and will make it to the end. This song is unbelievably beautiful. Great rendition. I teared up.
I miss the days when i was enjoying games soo much too.Now even if many games have ultra realistic graphics...I can say...the best period of gaming was 1996-2005....after that the games started to go for action,loosing passion.Now is all about money...The developers are not the same anymore. :(
***** Oh really? I don't know much about recent video games. I lost my desire to play games when I graduated from high school, by the time they improved graphics of the games, like ps3. I don't know why, but, the more the graphics became realistic, the more I lost my desire to play. Anyway, I hope the day comes that I can play video games like chrono trigger or xenogears once again. And thanks to your awesome music, I remember the time that I was playing xenogears.
I seldom comment in RUclips vids but I must admit I often come here just to listen this. When you play the game, you get the concept behind this song , which makes it even more beautiful. Thank you very much for doing that man. Really.
Thank you very much!You really gave me the most beautiful message i ever received...q_q. Let me know when you find time to play and maybe post it on youtube...i would love to hear you.
Wow amazing cover. I'm actually having a custom made music box with this song made for my daughter who's due this fall (Elly, for obvious reason). Thanks again hope to hear more soon.
While I do not know the reasons that make you want to quit, your music seems to inspire me to take a musical journey of my own, if I can find the time and the instrument. Perhaps seeing that your work inspires others to take similar footsteps will bring you some solace in rough times. Keep up the fantastic work.
This could be my favourite piano rendition of one of my favourite songs. Thank you very much for sharing. Could I also request the sheets so I can enjoy playing it on my piano?
This is the best piano cover I've heard so far! I'm searching for piano music for my wedding. Would it be possible to get the sheet music for this please? Thanks!
Awww thank you for the nice words you told me,but no worries even if i quit i won't stop listening to your songs and comment on them!Take care my friend Francine:)
Now, I really want to have a piano. coz when I hear this ' A Distant Promise' I really wanna play it.. but i need to learn first. by the way Man you put a little twist, you put your emotions and that's what's make it perfect. I don't have any background in playing piano. but I'd love to see your composition so i might be able to play it in the future.
Well done! Please don't quit. Attraversiamo tutti i periodi difficili, il pianoforte non ne fa mai un motivo. Può anche darsi che sia solo periodo... Keep it up please! I follow you. - Franco
Man this song brings back so much memories, and to top i still have the game and i'm willing to play this game 100 times over again XD i would love to have the music sheets to this song if you don't mind?

I can imagine this performance as Fei and Elly's wedding song.
Great choice. And then Fei's funeral too.
6 years have passed but still this is the best piano cover of the distant promise. Will still be liking the vid. Listening in 2019
I want to see you play the piano now. Thank you for your wonderful performance.
People still dont realize that xenogear apart from being one of the greatest game ever. Has one of the best soundtrack of any game.
Having a hard time,i am thinking about quitting.
Thank you very much for following my channel
U still alive? Not Passed Away Yet?
@@lazuardialdi2646 he is still alive
*Faraway promise start to sound*
Ehi how are you
The feels from the end of this game...This cover is amazing.
I fell in love with this game 22 yrs ago and still play it sometimes to re visit the memory of the beautiful story and beautiful music. Thank you for this lovely piece of heaven. I can listen this all day.
Same here
Beautiful work brother, hope you are doing well
This is the absolute most beautiful rendition of this piece of music I've ever heard.
Wow really :D. Thanks!!!!!! I love this song :)

Thank you so much my friend for the kind words. I am glad that there still are people who enjoy this kind of music.

Thank you very much Solis :)
This is one of my favourite songs too.I haven't played the game though :(
***** :( Go play the game asap on an emulator!
Is in the PSN Store in the classics, is really awesome: Mechas+Romance+JRPG. You must try to play it, is worth it.

I know this was posted a long time ago, but I'm hoping someone has the sheet music to this version? What a beautiful arrangement.
I hadn't played piano in over 8 years. This version of faraway promise was the first song I learned when I bought a new digital piano :)
Шикарное исполнение! Спасибо!
