Final Fantasy 10 Epic Orchestral Medley

Here is my most recent FF medley to date: Final Fantasy 10! As always, this was a pleasure to construct. In general, this one was somewhat more challenging than the others, as the original soundtrack of FFX was composed by 3 different people, and I found myself striving to switch as seamlessly as I could between their styles, while maintaining something of my own. The composers of FF10 were Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu and Junya Nakano. I would say that my personal favourite movements in this medley are Luca, Place of Trials, Lighting Fields and Song of Prayer. I used every orchestral instrument in my arsenal for this one, as well as several jazz and a couple of worlds instruments. Where with the other medleys, I found it somewhat appealing to strictly use traditional Western orchestral sections, for this lineup, I also used a Chinese gong, acoustic guitar and jazzy bass guitar. In addition, I cracked open my Chinese temple bells for Lulu's Theme and Wandering Flame.

[@ravenclawkc]

I really love this, you made me hear these tracks that I've heard so many times since childhood in a completely new light. You are a real artist.

[@RevoZtuns]

10:40 - 14:43 is the combination of my favourite FFX mix straight after FFIX beautiful.

[@cazconah]

just finished this awesome game last week, the remaster version on ps4. havent played in years. i love this game. love the story, the gameplay, every song in the game captures every moment perfectly. still have my original ps2 version. GREAT WORK! ON THIS! CONGRATULATIONS!

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you, Carlos! ^_^ That made my night!

[@JoshuaFagan]

FFX is my favorite game ever, so this is a real treat for me. Thank you!

[@RebeccaETripp]

^_^ You're welcome. I'll do more FF10 stuff in the future for sure.

[@Alvaro-np6gb]

You are amazig Rebecca. Glad i could found your orchestations😊

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying them!

[@lloydnorval1989]

The seamless transition into aurons theme tune............ my god this game sparked so many tears from me... thank you for rekindling these beautiful musical memories

[@RebeccaETripp]

You're welcome.

[@beetusmaximus7498]

I'm fully addicted to your medleys, you have no idea...

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Justin Wnorowski Well then, I'll just have to keep making them. ^_^ Next up: Chrono Cross Link's Awakening Secret of Mana Twilight Princess Skyrim FF11 Another FF6 one Skyward Sword A Link Between Worlds FF12

[@beetusmaximus7498]

I seriously cannot wait to hear the full Chrono Cross medley. I've had such a huge love for that soundtrack for many years. And the Skyrim and Link's Awakening ones as well, both are favorites of mine.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Justin Wnorowski ^_^ I'm glad you're happy. Any other games you'd like to suggest?

[@beetusmaximus7498]

Earthbound. Oh Earthbound... lol If you're not familiar with the game and/or soundtrack I think you'd enjoy both immensely. And as a side note I can NOT wait to hear what you do with Star Stealing Girl. :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Justin Wnorowski Ah, yes. Earthbound fans are very passionate. :3

[@wongsenel]

thankyou!! this bring us to another feeling of FF10 !Perfect !!

[@SplitxHeart]

I have been listening to your work the whole day through~ I just love your compositions of instruments and songs to create medlies and remixes and everything!!

[@Amocoru]

This game gets so much trash talked about it by so many people. That scene on the airship where Yuna falls through Tidus...I cried manly tears. Such a great story.

[@RebeccaETripp]

I would have to agree. I wanted to rekindle that FF10 love in people's hearts with this medley. :)

[@JuicyLeek]

I think many people including myself acknowledge that FF10 was the best FF since 2001 (not including Lost Odyssey which was, for all intents and purposes, a Final Fantasy game). And how could anyone forget that scene!? I actually enjoyed it more after I learned that in the original Japanese script, Yuna says "Thank you" instead of "I love you" to Tidus. She actually held back her confession to the very end.

[@renasenpai4033]

I would say FFX was the last, really awesome FF they made. I even cried through the Game... when Tidus asks Yuna to came to Zanarkand and live a normal Life... and Yuna recognizes that it wouldn ever be possible... :( The Feels!

[@BAP3221]

I remember feeling empty for a couple days after finishing the game. The characters grow on you so much and the ending left me unsatisfied. That's probably why they made an x2 which means in my opinion that final fantasy x was the best story since it's the only final fantasy that has a sequel.

[@kingzach74]

@@BAP3221 Final Fantasy 13 had two sequels FFXIII-2 and FFXIII: Lightning Returns. Also technically you could say that FF7 has a sequel of sorts and a prequel. As there is FFVII: Dirge of Cerebus and FFVII: Crisis Core. While FFX will always be my favorite Final Fantasy game, it isn't the only one with a sequel.FFXIII-2

[@godofdesruction]

Always a pleasure to see what you have in store for us. Thanks for the wonderful melodies!

[@RebeccaETripp]

You're welcome. ^_^ Thank you, too!

[@renasenpai4033]

Oh this is nice! You arranged the Pieces in a good Way! Listening to this let me feel the Sadness and the Suspense of this Game again.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Excellent! Thanks for all your comments! ^_^

[@renasenpai4033]

RebeccaETripp You are welcome! And also, I have to thank you for your Music :)

[@TwoVenomous]

FFX is my favorite, finished it 4 times and your remixes are reallllyyy goooodddd :D I'll be checking others as well! I love what you did to The Silence Before the Storm :D

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! :D I really appreciate it! Silence Before the Storm is my favorite track in that game. ^_^ I'll eventually be giving it its own remix. ;)

[@Duhemsounds]

That's another well done medley you have here, Palace of Ordeals and To Zanarkand are some of my favorite tracks from that FF

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks a lot!

[@pipala5880]

Cloister of Trials is awesome !! Thanks for the nice job !

[@RebeccaETripp]

:D Glad you liked that one. It was my first favorite FF10 track back when I got the game. Now my favorite is likely Scenery of Spira. I also loved The Silence Before the Storm for some time.

[@wildfire3969]

Really enjoyed this, I wasn't expecting such great transitions. I've been wanting to try something like this out. Ever think about making a video or blog about the process? I know I would be really interested.

[@RebeccaETripp]

This is sort of like that: The Making of Final Fantasy 7 Epic Orchestral Medley It's a pretty lengthy and intricate process. I have a ton of techniques that I like to use for transitions. This blog post talks a little bit about that too. :) rebeccaetripp.wordpress.com/2013/07/22/july-22-2013-final-fantasy-battle-medley/ Anything else you'd like to know, feel free to ask. ^_^ Thanks for your interest!

[@ft3060]

That´s such a beautiful medley ! thanks for that :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you! ^_^ It certainly had some of the best music of any game!

[@jorgevillalobos5173]

SORRY FOR CAPS BUT I NEEDED TO SAY THIS LOUD, YOU'RE THE BEST, AMAZING WORK!

[@RebeccaETripp]

THANKS! :D

[@thesecondnarrator]

nice work! i'm excited to hear FFVI, my favorite soundtrack ever

[@RebeccaETripp]

Nice! I'm excited to learn this about you! FF6 is definitely one of my favorites, and I've already got the medley done. Here it is: Final Fantasy 6 Ultimate Epic Orchestral Medley

[@Tichooon]

This just what I wanted! This music has so many emotions and memorys attached to it.... Perfect for drawing and painting

[@Dreamy-writer]

Well done! Nice smooth transitions. This should definitely be more popular.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+ff7vincent441 Well, thank you. ^_^ I'm planning a Vincent's Theme remix soon. I thought that might interest you, heh heh.

[@Dreamy-writer]

+RebeccaETripp Haha! Oh yes it does! I look forward to it :D

[@vertluc]

A new epic medley ! I am officialy a French fan of your work !

[@RebeccaETripp]

:D Thanks!

[@Schematist]

Without a doubt! you have made the most impressive Medley on youtube for FFX! Your channel is full of gold! This was so nostalgic and seamless. I Love FFIX the most but X is right next to it and you hit it right on the mark with this project. Thanks for sharing!

[@RebeccaETripp]

You're welcome, Cal! ^_^ I thought of you a lot while I was making this one. FF9 is probably next, FYI. It's my favourite also (FF4, 5 and 6 are close though.) I'm so gald you liked it- and thanks for saying those things.

[@Schematist]

RebeccaETripp You have great taste! ^_^ . I can't wait for FFIX from you!

[@Alex-bn8pq]

Beautiful work, as always Rebecca! I am so glad to have found your channel :D

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thank you very much, Alex. I'm honoured!

[@altispinex86]

RebeccaETripp I found it really jerk like for Square Enix to make people think Seymour was going to join up with you by giving him sphere levels at the end of that one fight with a sinspawn.

[@LatexVice]

You were right Kee...it is freaking long! Alas, my phone cannot have KZbin and Pinterest open at the same time, so I was forced to listen while playing Harvest Moon. It did make my HM BM moment more epic...until I started to cry during To Zanarkand. My favorite aspect of this is the transitions. Very well done! Lastly... I PLAY BLITZBALL!!! >.

[@RebeccaETripp]

Well, this is one of the only times where I'll say that I was happy to make you cry. Heh heh. It means I did the original justice. I'm glad Harvest Moon was made more epic!

[@RebeccaETripp]

The Final Fantasy 10 medley is done now. :)

+Digital Devil Arts25 What are you drawing? :)

[@digitaldevilarts2589]

+RebeccaETripp a personal art project for a contest

[@TheCreepypro]

amazing simply amazing I love what you had to do with the variety of instruments from all over the world to encompass the 3 different styles of this soundtrack you could have just stayed with Uematsu and ignored the other two but you didn't and this medley is better for it yuna's, lulu's, and auron's thems all sounded great and to zanarkand into the revealed truth was so good this was amazing and as a lover of music and instruments from the world over this was a delight the only thing missing was my 3 favorite instruments the banjo, the bagpipes, and the accordion but hey there is always next time

[@RebeccaETripp]

Banjo, bagpipes, and accordion are your favourite instruments? That's not something I hear very often, haha!

[@nickkelley9204]

I never played 10 but this is epic!

it is super pretty but not enough reason to purchase it if you already have ffx/ffx-2

[@renasenpai4033]

fredfred1112 Well, I buyed it anyways and dont regret it ;-)

[@lukebpowell]

fredfred1112 I would say FFX2 is worth it because you can finally get rid of Rikku and replace her with a much more worthwhile character like a chocobo or a cactuar

perfect!

[@RebeccaETripp]

:O I'm considering it now! Thanks for the idea! I love Dragon Quest. ^_^ I love the music, and I've played most of them. I've even made a few original tracks in Suiyama's style, just for fun.

[@myinnocentdevil]

Awesome!^^ listening to your tracks reminds me of dragon quests music it's very reverberated clean and pretty! I can't wait to see what you come out with next:) your renditions are absolutely amazing btw! Please don't stop! Haha

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks! I will never stop! FF9 medley is almost certainly next, where medleys are concerned. I have some Zelda and Secret of Mana stuff I might do before that though. It depends where inspiration takes me. ;)

[@myinnocentdevil]

^^ youre inspiring me to put stuff together! I havent really sat down and down that in a while! so thanks for these super cool uploads ill be looking out for the next one!

[@cameronmoyer3610]

Nice! it reminds me of the N64 Game, Quest 64! Have you played it? its like the legend of Zelda meets final fantasy, in a way.

[@RebeccaETripp]

+Cameron Moyer Negative on that one! Never heard of it, actually! That sounds like my kind of game, based on what you said, hehe.

[@everettwatsonrazorearcwolf6553]

No fleeting dream ;-; i still loved what you did

[@RebeccaETripp]

Thanks!

[@JuicyLeek]

But I wanted to know how you would reinterpret the Seymour Battle theme! If I recall correctly there are three official versions of it- (1) The original track on the FFX OST (2) The Black Mages track (3) The remix for FFX HD Remaster on PS3 And I strongly feel that the first original version made the most "sense". What do you think?

[@RebeccaETripp]

I agree completely! The original FF10 soundtrack was the best version. I DID do a version of the Seymour battle theme, if you're interested. It can be found in this battle medley: Final Fantasy Epic Orchestral Battle Medley 1

[@JuicyLeek]

Ah, so you did. Thanks for that :) I haven't checked my facts but I don't think Uematsu-sensei actually worked on the FFX Remaster Soundtrack, which is probably why it is a bit lackluster :( It lacked the punch of the original, especially that excellent harpsichord intro of Seymour Battle that when it played you KNEW this was the final battle with Seymour and it was either you or him! Anyway, glad to know Beckles has recovered from CTS and is back in action! :)

[@RebeccaETripp]

+ZettaiBaka This reply is a little bit late, but I just stumbled on this comment again, and I was wondering... Did you ever hear the version of Seymour's battle theme in the Distant Worlds battle medley? I saw that live, and boy was that amazing! It's between Battle of the Big Bridge from FF5 and Fighting from FF7. I think you would enjoy it. ^_^

[@JuicyLeek]

Gosh, I can hardly believe it's been a year since I wrote that! Thanks for telling me me about this - I will see if I can find it on KZbin. Are you talking about the 2015 Distant Worlds medley?

[@RebeccaETripp]

ZettaiBaka Here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6SmhYhnjNWnoNU I'll make it easier. ^_^

[@xSaraxMxNeffx]

no Seymours Ambition? its one of my faves. Still strong choices though

[@RebeccaETripp]

That's an awesome track! I agree! I just didn't really find a place for any more dark themes. I have thought about doing a suite of villain themes though.

[@NickLaFoe]

damn I miss playing ffx

[@RebeccaETripp]

I do, too! My disk disappeared nearly a decade ago! I feel you!
