FFXIV ~ Piano Fan Arrangement

[justamemory]

With FFXIV Beta and Release coming soon I was inspired to arrange some of the new pieces recently showcased; composed by master Nobuo Uematsu.

I may have changed a few harmonies and voices here and there, but kept it mostly similar to the original. I'm also playing with a string pad layer built into my piano on some of them for kicks ^^

Hope you enjoy

EDIT: wow so apparently my arrangement of "FFXIV ~ Extended Special Track" was brought down by YouTube for copyright infringement...but not all the other videos I've done from XIV's alpha OST. I wonder why just that one? A shame though, it serves as just an innocent hype tool for the game. Too bad business/law has to choke it

I wonder when whoever made the claim changes their mind if the video stats and comments will be intact when it comes available again...

;_;

Very nice. Great to hear it in a different setting other than background music.

[justamemory]

hey thanks for listening

it's nice that more and more video game music is becoming less of a background enhancement or distraction to more of a delicate art of immersion and soul--especially such that it can be performed in a greater variety of manners.

[Maguspk]

you're talented, good stuff

[Cooleko]

I'll be honest, I wasn't expecting much, but I was very impressed. I really love game music from the piano, and you pulled it off very well. I detected a little hesitation at the beginning when you slowed the tempo down a bit, but you picked right back up and it turned out great.

Wow, that was beyond good. Five stars on youtube from me! (Luckykrazy)

Makes me want FF:XIV this much faster. At least I'll be buying my first house soon to keep me pre-occupied for abit more. :<

heh no worries ^^

yeah it might have been my auto-rubato (lol) kicking in? or it might have been a rit. I usually don't have a metronome ticking in my head and so often times my time will wander

/bow :D

I know, I've been waiting for this game since before it had a codename ;_; I'm hoping to play the hell out of this one since I've been looking for a long term MMO for a while now.

Best of luck with your new house!

thanks again for listening

I almost thought it was fake until I heard your little variations in the tune. Pretty much just as good as the original, excellent job.

at your service

I approve, as others have stated, this was above expectations

[DAKPluto]

Very nice. My only concern is the right hand going from measure 27 to 28. To properly get it as written you need to sustain the top Bb chord to hit the middle Bb chord. The implied sustain would be starting on beat 2, but the sustain F in the bass going into the then sustain C in the bass just doesn't feel right. I would have suggested taking the Bb on the left hand on beat 2 to the lower Bb, but then conflicts with the C in 28. eh, I'll play around with it.

yeah, little training and bad habits get the best of me

my ears are better at listening than my technique and notation skills are at technique'ing and notating heh.
