Final Fantasy 1 COMPLETE Soundtrack ~ Piano and Organ

[@mushman25]

Just recovered all my hp/mp just from listening to this masterpiece! ❤

[@Eclectic.Nostalgia]

But you're still hungry! 😉

[@Meop79]

​@@KaraComparettoThere were a ton of adds and they were very poorly placed. Did someone claim your video?

[@lightdark00]

Usually you’ll see music attribution in the description if it was claimed or permission was given. It’s much better to give a creator $1 than to sit through 1000 ads on their channel and then use something to block the ads.

[@law35penn]

❤good one. This brings back so many memories. The original ff

[@ZelgadisEddy]

Our dear white mage is here to heal our souls.

[@archael18]

No exaggeration, I waited well over a decade for someone to post FF1 piano songs, let alone a full soundtrack. THANK YOU, WHITE MAGE!!! ❤❤❤

[@KaraComparetto]

oh wow! Yeah I felt like it needed a piano rendition of the entire thing, im not sure anyone has done it like this before!!

[@archael18]

I can confirm that you are the first and it's incredibly appreciated. I've already watched the entire thing three times up to now lol 😆

[@CT808]

The game that started it all.. What an adventure it's been!

[@jamesdgriggs]

This is the soundtrack to sixth grade for me. I saved up money raking leaves just to be able to afford this game, and I played it so much that the music is etched into the deepest part of my nostalgic brain as a result. I play piano also (nowhere near this well!) and now I want to learn at least a couple of these tracks.

[@KaraComparetto]

The original sound version sheet music is available online for free, and is quite simple if you ever wanted to try it out! I used them too, just improvised on many of them :)

[@dorkbink1698]

When I listen to this it reminds me that life is good. Wonderfully played, thank you Kara.

[@ThomasMHead]

Hearing this takes me back to what feels like 2000 years ago! Matoya's theme is enjoyable, isn't it? I like what you did with the Dungeon theme. The 'Sunken Shrine' has given me chills ever since first hearing it! And the Ending Theme on organ made me tear up! Thank you, Nobuo Uematsu. And thank you, Kara Comparetto.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you Thomas! You mentioned the tracks that I absoutely love too!

[@illrobbzilla]

It’s all these melodies we know and love but in HD on real instruments How fun and satisfying it must be to learn these…

[@KaraComparetto]

Absolutely :)

[@sebastienchuti9358]

I think the piano works very well with 8-bit soundtracks

[@LlonirTS]

May everyone who is touched by this music feel peace and love in their hearts.

[@TheGanamaster]

Kara is using soft spell on my heart, it is melting whith her so beautifully playing all these songs, is easy a soundtrack for any marriage. THANK YOU FOR THIS LOVELY AND NOSTALGIC PIECE OF ART.

[@danielessex2162]

Careful, don't forget how many spells were broken in FF1

[@davidpumpkinsjr.5108]

I hope you plan to continue with the rest of the franchise. Many people love the soundtracks of 4. 6. 7, 10 and rightly so, they're masterpieces, but I like the soundtrack for 3 and it doesn't get enough love.

[@Ejb5154]

What about 8? The extreme is so good.

[@Grubbbee]

Ff4 which i knew as "2", it's permanently imprinted in my brain as favorite of all time. I hope it gets a similar treatment!

[@LeahLuciB]

3 is definitely overlooked. IMO, it has the best overworld theme

[@jellyguy9187]

3 is quite good indeed

[@elmejorado2]

I'm so glad to see this premiere time. This will make my spring cleaning so much more enjoyable tomorrow!

[@KaraComparetto]

See you then!!

[@JohnnyRHughes]

Wow, Kara Comapretto's performance of the Final Fantasy I soundtrack as a white mage is truly amazing! The attention to detail in her costume and the flawless execution of the music really takes me back to my own childhood playing the game. It's so heartwarming to see someone so talented sharing their passion with the community in such a professional and touching way. Keep up the great work, Kara! You are truly inspiring.

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you so much Johnny, I won't stop!

[@TMax0608]

How funny that this video appeared on my feed when I've been playing Final Fantasy 14😂. Kara, you're such an amazing pianist! Would you teach me? I only know how to play one-handed😅

[@kronedog]

Lovely music and playing Kara.

[@lmelior]

Maybe I'm lame but I actually had to pause this video a couple times to avoid being overwhelmed with emotion, especially with those first three songs. Some of my earliest memories are of playing this at 5-6 years old. I can appreciate the fancier modern takes on these but this simple performance just instantly transported me back to a time that I can otherwise barely remember. Such beautiful renditions!

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you! Sometimes simpler is better on the piano, I wholeheartedly agree :)

[@Thunder_Gun_Express]

I was 9 when I got this, and I feel the same way. It's always going to be my favorite. The score is just incredible-- a true composition.

[@edammusic973]

It's impressive how even this early soundtrack has many ideas that can be instantly identified as Uematsu. Lovely playing here too.

[@KaraComparetto]

He's one of a kind!

[@rhystilshadowhelm]

Just hearing the simple, original version of the Theme - without any orchestration or additions it's had over the iterations - is just what I need to reduce me to tears. God, such a beautifully gentle tune, yet it carries such a weight. The hopes and the prayers of the game creators accompany this theme, bringing with them a sense of totality, and Uematsu-san captured it impeccably. If you really focus on every stroke of the ivory key, you can feel how each and every member of that team felt when releasing this game for the very first time, even from way back when...

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you for this uplifting comment

[@Deletirium]

That was beautifully said. Games are so soulless these days, despite the incredible graphics. These humble little pixelated JRPGS still have a large place in my heart, and make me feel things I haven't felt since I was a kid. The designers who created the first 4 FF games, and Chrono Trigger were one of a kimd, and managed to turn a nintendo game into a storied work of nostalgic art. What a fantastic tribute she's done with these arrangements. It's silly, but I got happy little tears at the first bars.

[@specialnewb9821]

I just did a run on the pixel remaster this week! Perfect timing. Condidering the conditions he was working under (he was given 30 minutes to compose the Prelude!) Nobuo is a mad genius on FF1. Thank you so much for this!

[@KaraComparetto]

Oh I didn't know that about the prelude, wow!

[@Mike__P]

Thank you for this trip back in time...the late 80s, when things were much simpler. I remember the first time watching my dad play Final Fantasy 1 in the living room on our giant (deep, not wide lol) old school TV (I was more into the action, side scrollers, he loves the RPGs).

[@KaraComparetto]

That was me too, I loved the platformers, side scrollers, my brother loved the RPGs :)

[@Ironfungus]

Kara always delivers! 😎Very well played and put together album, I loved the transitions between each song.

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you Jake!!

[@sceneitallwithjeffandjon6984]

Airship theme always lifts my spirits, especially when I first lift it out of the desert in the game.

[@pandadono6591]

Never realized FF1 soundtrack was THAT good!

[@JacobPlays136]

Imo FF1 has the best soundtrack in the series. It just has a lot of character from the limitations it had on the original console.

[@scproinc]

Finally something that isn't FF7. It's kinda refreshing to hear, really.

[@wvmcc82]

This takes me WAAAAYYY back. Nice. Thanks Kara!

[@JimminyB]

Swordchucks, yo.

[@Luis_Felipe_IX]

Beautiful as always dear Kara. It is always a pleasure and a pleasure to listen to you and see you play 😸 I'm surprised that even though the music in the first ff1 is pretty basic, it's still super enjoyable. What will be the next Final Fantasy???✨✨✨ I can't wait 😁 greetings from Mexico 😸

[@KaraComparetto]

Greetings from New Hampshire, thank you Luis!! Final Fantasy VII will be next! :O

[@Soundole]

Putting this huge medley together is such an incredible achievement, amazing work!

[@DanielWelchMusic]

A beautiful performance that was clearly a labour of love! Amazing renditions. It made me emotional many times. Thank you for your work!

[@KaraComparetto]

So glad you loved it, thank you Daniel :)

[@GabbPiano]

The first Final Fantasy is my favorite episode of the saga. The simplicity of its refined melodies makes it particularly endearing. Your impeccable interpretation allows me to dive back into this friendly atmosphere and I thank you for that. The piano/organ alternation brings welcome diversity.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you Gabb, this means a lot!! Love your descriptions :)

[@gabrielmoretmarino2820]

I love your work, you are incredibly talented. Final Fantasy has always been my reference in music and your channel has inspired me to learn to play my favorite pieces on the keyboard, of course I'm still green but it starts somewhere 😅.

[@KaraComparetto]

That's awesome!! Music is a never-ending journey, you'll never "arrive" but you have to enjoy every moment of it to stay motivated!!

[@DaffWings]

I had a bit of a long day/night today, and I needed to relax. Having this in the background really helped me, speaking from the perspective of a Major FF Fan this was a beautiful soothing playthrough. Thank you for these covers, it helped me today 🔆

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you, glad it helped you relax! :)

[@kakufreaks]

These songs mean so much to all of us, thank you for taking the time to grace us with such mastery. Your ability with music is like God speaking through the piano, any number of words I wrote could not express even the shadow of gratitude for being able to appreciate your work in our lifetime. thank you.

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you so much

[@davidricketts5280]

The white mage getup definitely represents the healing & light your music brings to the world. 😍 This performance is a good example

[@KaraComparetto]

thank you Dave!! :D

[@acet88]

I always write what i think about music in comments, but this time i must say some words about the pianist: the first frames of this video are stunning. White mage Kara is really beautiful xD

[@KaraComparetto]

Hahaha thank you! I have really enjoyed putting silent introductions in my videos, I feel like it pulls the viewer in! :)

[@acarbonbasedlifeform70]

Fantastic as always, Kara! Thank you! I'm also a huge fan of Matoya's cave!

[@SeafoamSmiles]

So many of these early FF tracks are woven into the fabric of my soul. Your rendition of the Shop Theme especially had me smiling, it's such a fun little tune. Also, the cosplay was spot on; the red trim is so iconic.

[@m4r_art]

I respect you a lot for sticking to your passion years on. It takes a lot to keep liking one thing like Piano and RPG games and following through without falling for the many news fads and trends. Humans living in the future will see us by our tastes, the things we did, what we created and what we worshiped. In my opinion as Generation Z is changing the planet's landscape in terms of what is trending: being an enthusiast and preserving the culture of a certain time is what will make it live in the memories. Much like Chopin, Mozart and Beethoven did in their time for their music; the music of the present includes magic from Nobuo Uematsu, Koji Kondo, Yasunori Mitsuda, Yoko Shimomura, Grant Kirkhope, David Wise, Tim Follin and the many other geniuses from the scoring of videogames that became a new medium to rival the orchestra, much like film did a couple of decades before it. Let's hope younger generations can also understand the magic of this once specific retro-era that slowly fades into the cyber-present? x)

[@KaraComparetto]

haha yep, sometimes I think "is this even gonna get any views, I'm recording music from 30 years ago" XD but then I just stick with it and I realize there ARE people who appreciate these masterpieces! thank you for your thoughtful comment!

[@dajengzhang]

@@KaraComparetto It's like playing "oldies" :D

[@nezkeys79]

I really feel like the prelude of 13 (the middle bit) is just as good as the Main Theme of Final Fantasy, and could easily have been that timeless piece we all love. Similarly the "chorus" of Dear Friends has the same quality

[@BenBrowne82]

So amazingly beautiful.

[@MediocreHexPeddler]

It has been nearly twenty years now since I first heard that main menu theme on my GBA in the Dawn of Souls version of Final Fantasy. It sounds even more magical now than it did then.

[@KaraComparetto]

brings back so many memories!

[@Ejb5154]

Looking forward to hearing Chaos Temple, the final dungeon theme, and the final boss theme! Even back at the beginning, FF has had the best music!

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you, I'm excited for the premiere! I should clarify that this is the ORIGINAL Final Fantasy Soundtrack, which means it doesn't include extras from the pixel remaster- though... the Church theme might be from the pixel remaster. I can't remember XD

[@ManuelJordan317]

@@KaraComparetto Because I read 'the final dungeon theme' sentence, could you in the future consider to make the cover of the 'credits' song for the TV cartoon "dungeons and dragons"?

[@KaraComparetto]

wow thank you

[@XBLBusinessCard]

I love this so much, thank you!!

[@dartz005]

Amazing job as always Kara. Your performance gave me so much nostalgia for the game. My 1st experience with this game was on the old PS1 collection FF Origins. Quite late into the legacy of FF, but it still left a mark, & I love this game & its OST. It's so easy to see the legacy it left that's still going today. Keep up the good work Kara, & I can't wait to see/hear you play more classic FF soundtracks. Also, absolutely love you White Mage costume.

[@KaraComparetto]

Thanks for sharing your experience! mine is funny- I played about half of it as a kid and got stuck right before getting the airship. I didn't play it again till this past year and finally beat it! :D

[@dartz005]

@@KaraComparetto Yeah, finding the airship was a pain without some sort of guide back then. I do have my own funny moment in the game that I remember pretty well. I think it was in Origins, with that or the Dawn of Souls version. It was during my fights against Tiamet 1 time. I had heard that it was susceptible to status effects, so I tried Break on it. Got it 1st try against the 1st fight against the boss. I was shocked that it actually worked, especially 1st try. From my experience, status effects like that usually take multiple attempts on bosses.

[@wguardia2709]

Absolutely LOVED the organ renditions, of course the piano pieces were outstanding as well! I had heard Matoya a few times on your streams and maybe a couple of pieces more from FF but in general I knew little about its music. I can say my favorite one now is the End Theme, sounds gorgeous on organ. Well done, Kara ❤

[@KaraComparetto]

Thank you Willy, I saw another comment of yours about the end theme, that made me so happy, because it's truly one of the best ones in this album, came out so lovely and sounds so amazing on the organ!! thank you!!

[@scproinc]

The "Sunken Shrine" track is incorrectly named. The track actually doesn't play in the water dungeon where Kraken is fought. In fact, in no version of FF1 this track is used for that level. It is in fact used ONLY for the final dungeon in the past. (I really don't know why or how people got mistaken about it). If anyone still don't believe me, check kzbin.info/www/bejne/pHncYaKGq7SIaZI, and hear how the normal "Chaos Shrine" music is playing in the sunken dungeon.
