A lovely song. I considered doing a video of it for a long time. Today I chose to try it, and it worked out pretty well after a few tries.
Afterwards I noticed I chose the camera angle a bit awkward.
Have fun!

This is what video games today are missing. Before the introduction of amazing CG, and voice acting we had something we used to call feeling. Words couldn't explain what we were experiencing when we listened to songs such as this. No amount of 1080p could ever replace the feeling of the classics. I miss you Mr Nobuo Uematsu. I am not aware if you are currently involved in video game composition but it's deff your place, teach these kids how to feel the way you taught me, breath some life into these next gen games.

[@whitelion204]

Amen

[@fritzolivercabaral3401]

That is soo true. Is it me or even rpg today dont have an airship where u can explore islands freely.

[@MrRed424]

to bad the story sucked it was doing decent the first 2 discs but the dialogue, lazy characther development and confusing plot holes made this game fail certain points.Umatesu must be upset that he made amazing. music for a mediocore game :(

[@fistwood]

Damn so true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@michaelluciano1980]

"No amount of 1080p could ever replace the feeling of the classics" Couldn't say it any better than this

[@dinjay_channel2879]

Thank you for bringing the memories up, a beautiful childhood memories of playing this amazing game. You played & covered it so perfect like the piano album too 😊❤️

[@s0mdumb9uy]

nice i can listen and watch this video over and over

[@bnitx7750]

back my childhood, winter seasons... :(

[@skimmyboy6326]

Honestly the best game I've ever played. The memories from FFVIII have all come flooding back and I feel a bit emotional! Nothing does that nowadays. Amazing work mate, thank you :)

[@adhyatmakartika9642]

Me too 😭 i've been playing it since 9 y.a. And yestrrday i had play it again 😂

[@JoeLe]

Thank you for your performance. I'm so in love with this song. Actually, I love all Final Fantasy VIII songs :)

[@eliazdejesus7113]

That was made out of pure awesomeness. Enjoyed this performance very much.

[@sneakysoldier15]

Yay another upload and one of my favorite FF songs :D I love that you always get the tempo and emotion perfect when a lot of youtubers seem like they are just in a rush to get through work written on a piece of paper.

[@carlospuig747]

I congratulate you, hun! This is amazing, Fisherman's Horizon's deffo my fav song off FF8 :)

[@chaneyste]

I loved this. I was delighted to see you post another FF piece, you've done a fantastic job with them all. Wish I could play so well.

[@MarkyMarc89]

This was great. I’m going back to listening soft FF music every night to help relax me and help me fall asleep.

[@Spooky_Sunday]

Another melodie that brings back good memories. Thank you for sharing it.

[@macemaster11]

That sounded flawless! I don't think you made a single mistake on this piece! Played in such a smooth way like the notes come natural to you. I'm glad I subscribed to a long time ago, you never cease to amaze me how on how well you play these pieces. Thank you for sharing and uploading this!

[@rm2kmidi]

I always thought piano collections was the best arrangement of this. Nobuo's music is so rich.

[@Blessingsization]

glad to see you playing again. please play more!

[@Evert-Kramer]

Hey Thomas, Good to see a new video by you! An astounding performance of this sheer beauty.. Great choice and wonderfully played man! Thanks for sharing your talent :)))

[@myepiano]

Super! Very, very beautiful played! Great job!

[@everbot]

Very well played! I love it!

[@TheRaendo]

Glad to see you'r back!

[@Arkton]

@TheArtOfHands Thanks! This is a Yamaha Clavinova CLP-280 and I have it for 5 years. Great quality. It has never broken or has had any problems.

[@EvanYoungMusic]

Excellent playing. Bravissimo!!!!

[@RichyJam2011]

One of my favorite themes from FF8, very relaxing and peaceful. Perfectly played Sir!!! +AA

[@ColinUrBuddy]

the fact this only has 100k views is criminal

[@LozachanFF]

Amazing work, as always. ^^

[@nachiguaka]

Your fingers are always doing magic!!

[@rollthebones91]

Glad you're back also!

[@mellymoko4617]

I gave up learning it but now I wanna learn it all over again!

[@snowinglight8651]

Absolutely beautiful

[@WeirdestRocket17]

You're back~~ AWESOME COVER

[@ignas9218]

One of my favorite FF tunes. I feel that a lot of the recent Final Fantasy games have their own "homely" tune. Tunes like VIII's Fisherman's Horizon, VII's On Our Way, and IX's "Frontier Village Dali".

[@Mzourix3]

it's beautiful ! Bravo to you !

[@HarryTravolta]

That was pretty incredible

[@xcoachkim]

Nice job, I'm so gunna buy the sheet music book, I love this piano version.

[@jarokiabharat]

[@iuranovitcuria5700]

Nostalgia *-*

[@zilulf2770]

it makes me cry a lot .. so nostalgic

[@mrjonasnilsson]

Wow! Perfection!!

[@theartofhands7479]

@Arkton Then the Clavinova are really strong! They Never break :) At any rate you were the first spark that led me to buy a Clavinova, I thank you for your wonderful music. I hope to play so beautiful like you :D

[@lorde-voldemort]

Please come back Thomas!

[@uninterestedhour]

My life is complete now. Thanks.

[@cleburne61]

Another great vid, Arkton! Been too long, old friend. This goes on my favs(with all your others) and will be doubtlessly played a bajillion times. Please cover overworld theme in FF VII someday too! Thanks again, sir!

[@HarryTravolta]

It moved me emotionally

[@kinkkitus]

[@theohancer]

Man you made me cry

[@NeillWylie]

Liking it. Good to see someone do a proper length video too :)

[@risien4211]

Amazing

[@khail127]

Is it ok to cry listening to this?

[@irmazubie5239]

im late...but i want to join u too

[@bort_hill]

It'd be weird if you weren't crying

[@steriofoniq]

it is. especially when you're alone listening to this.

[@longpham9836]

Its ok, I do it every time.

[@uwekirschner187]

So am i. Count me in..

[@danielvillarreal120]

Gracias, gracias por este video.

[@lalalala1213]

Yep, thats it... i have to buy it on steam now and relive my childhood.

[@acciuga89]

Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@medabotsb]

Perfect

[@heroxlegacy]

Please do more videos. Please. Welcome back :)

[@Arkton]

@TheArtOfHands As I said, I only play and practise on that digital piano. I don't have an acoustic piano.

[@MakAngeleezyVlogs]

holy shit you're back! i was like "oh what!" when i saw that this was uploaded "10 hours" ago hahaha

[@NardoParra]

whoa thomas.. whoa :)

[@TrillianOnPiano]

As always, you played the piece so well that I could not tell your interpretation from the official piano collections one. Very good job :) May I suggest you try some Final Fantasy XI? It's got some great music!

[@facufrau]

Te amo por este video es muy muy bueno

[@akfg4life]

Sheets for this song can be found on Ichigo's sheet music, sounds like the same version I've been playing.

[@kevinkwok8456]

Inspiring.

[@xXxchobitsxXxNL]

so wonderfull i subbed to you :P

[@irvineworld]

awesome, as always I see you change some notes toward to end :o

[@datagrab]

no dislikes. so nice!

[@LordPlagus777]

*claps*

[@marwasnotavailable]

dat nostalgia....

[@Corpsecreate]

Man I knew this song on piano, cant believe I forgot how to play it. RAGGEE, WTB ETERNAL MEMORY!

[@jonas_dero]

yeah me too, this song is really beautiful but frickin' hard!

[@D1ndo]

Nicely done. Now go on and serve us another jazz standard :)

[@turlututuchapo]

Beautiful ! I'm struggling to play just the first few bars of this :/

[@pigpag86]

Great performance! This is one of my favorite. Just being super picky - personally I feel the most beautiful part, which is 1:51-1:58, was slightly hurried through. A little rubato touch would've made it better.

[@kikuragenyanya]

植松伸夫は天才ですね

[@cocinaysergio]

Claps claps!

[@justa16thnote]

YES! Do Celes' or Tina's Theme!

[@lelylu]

❤

[@feitan9547]

love u

[@Arkton]

@SephCat74 Check the website stated on my channel/profile.

[@Arkton]

@TheArtOfHands I only play on that one.

[@SongeLeReveur]

Like before even watching. Not a risky bet, I'm sure.

[@DuncanDunn]

flashbacks..

[@911assassinate]

@Juni0ri Oh sorry, lol, I forgot to read that there was no X hahhaha

[@vinhrua1]

Still 0 dislikes... Awesome

[@PiscesSenpai]

Please play FFVII Main Theme!

[@911assassinate]

I don't remember this being in Final fantasy 13, but it's beautifu : )l

[@giveusascream]

ff8...

[@theartofhands7479]

@Arkton Wow! But using this to play songs already studied (maybe on another piano) or even use it to prepare the pieces? Make frequent use or sporadic? I ask because I just bought a Clavinova CLP 440 yesterday and I would like to know how long he will live :)

[@fxpianochannel]

where can I buy the official sheet music book?
