Hello! 🎉

[@MrVilla124]

I always knew Squall could play the piano.

[@jennilyn5118]

Adorable! Somebody dresses up like Squall and plays piano for charity?! Why wasn't I told about this sooner? Great job!

[@Daggoth2424]

Still watch this today. My 7 year old son wants to learn the piano! Showing him this during Christmas break

[@DumbDesign]

Oh god, I used to watch this video all the time when I was in high school. I'm glad it's still here! ♥

[@jzhang8]

the way he transitions from one battle theme to another is absolutely flawless! amazing work!

[@truongtx000]

I don't know Squall could play piano as good as using his gunblade :))

[@BlueGuise9]

It's all in the fingers! XD

[@mitche110]

This guy is officially my hero. Seamless transitions between the songs and they were perfect choices. Nailed every, single one. Good job. Like and 5*'s from me.

[@guitarhero2211]

I wonder what GF he gets for playing this medley.

[@BlueGuise9]

Siren!

[@browncoatkevin]

Thanks for posting this! I was lucky enough to meet Piano Squall himself at Otakon this year - he MC'd the Eminence concert - and I even got his "Piano Squall" autograph and shook his hand! He's a great guy in person, on stage, AND performing - a nice "Triple Triad".

[@WayWardWonderer]

Beautiful. I wish I could play the piano and do it as gracefully as many of the players I've seen on KZbin.

[@NautytuaN]

man i loved decisive battle and those who fight! sounded soooooooooo good!

[@alicephrontistery]

I love the way you attack that piano and then eat it up...you devour it and spit out flames of music out; your hands, like powerful talons, claw at the keys and shred them up showing your power and control...you are a fantasy piano dragon!!! FIVE FREAKING STARS!!!

[@kiamick]

terrible that some people could dislike this...a genuine fan of final fantasy, with a skill at playing an instrument, displaying his passion for the musical pieces that feature in the games, and wants to perform in front of people and on camera, and you people knock him for it? WTF!?

[@Kibetha]

Amazing... my jaw hit the floor. He is one talented guy.

[@seblepage]

Wow. Really really really good playing! And played like this by a brilliant musician, it really showcases just how great Final Fantasy music is!

[@WardDallas]

hes doing it from all of them and mixing them in seamlessly... amazing.

[@Blastiosasaurus]

Spent too much time dreaming as Laguna....watching Julia..... memorized it all.

[@naminepng7083]

Yuh 2022, almost 2023 and I'm still watching this fabulous WORK god :')

[@springkitty23]

so amazing and i love the squall look.he can endure so well i would never be able to do that.

Just been to your concert on Brazil, and I enjoyed it very much. Would like to thank you for all the great music we've heard!

[@Pidgeonpeep]

Wow, his fingers are so graceful! That is so cool. Love the vid!

[@dustsucker9374]

Piano Squall, that's just awesome! Received your CD two days ago and it has been in my cd player since then. Love it! Greetings from Germany!

[@acsilver12]

The endurance in his fingers is impressive enough! That comes with years of persevering practice.

[@Invokcoeur64]

Uncredible! You are the best player that I have ever seen! 5/5, standing ovation for Piano Squall! :D

[@Kittymouth]

Piano Squall is a thing that exsists. :D this is the happiest day of my life.

[@awesomeluciano78]

i only clicked on this cause you were dressed for the occasion...but i never expected such skilled playing...wonderful job...

[@aprillxy]

I love the outfit... Completes the whole talented pianist look.... Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Brava! Merry christmas and a happy new year

[@luveprincesora]

Amazing!I never seen anyone combine them into a medley,he's incredible!

[@kenenth84]

I say it is impressive for him play through most of the epic songs without any break in between, this require a lot of muscle endurance! On top of that, he was playing on a concert, where re-recording isn't allow. I notice he slowed down at the very end, the pain his hand is going through.. I can totally feel it!!

[@peetrie]

Wow, you can tell he really feels what he's playing. Great performance!

[@DarthTwilight]

very good technique. he puts alot of feeling in those notes. very well done

[@Ensichrys]

Ah, Michael Gluck. The guy who inspired me to start playing this most devilish of instruments. And wouldn't you know it, my favorite Piano Squall song right here! "The Decisive Battle" is my favorite. Always amazing.

[@Maikigai]

The most talent I've seen put into piano playing, amazing.

[@Doggo_Chan]

wow...... speechless no,seriously now this is so beautiful wonderful play

[@vopop30]

Wow. That must've been one hell of a battle. And judging by the song he started with, it was the FFV team that fought that gountlet. Awsome.

[@RealSkyDiver2]

I meet some of them and it was quite awesome. Especially being a composer myself has even more advantages.

[@VaatiOfDarkness]

The amazing thing is, the songs blend together so beautifully...Piano Squall is a genius!

[@SigurdKing]

Holy shit; a mature level headed person. We need more of these on the Internets. I wish I was joking.

[@viper11289]

thats really good man. i loooved the way you play one winged angel. the best ive heard.

[@seifer93]

Piano Squall is a monster! Keep up the good work.

[@pianolounge]

i agree! i loved FFVIII, i think it's my favorite although FFVII was also a VERY close second place.

[@Dohati75]

great job! and all my favorites :D i really liked your ff7:AC battle the best. it was so dead-on i half-expected tifa to fly into your piano and smash it to bits.

[@jgames15]

great video 6 stars 5 for the amazing piano playing an one xtra star for dressing the part. Amazing work. kylelandry has some nice videos to.

[@ThaSoap]

Loved it. Anyone who can play the FFVII AC Version of "Those Who Fight" have my respect! Nice job!

[@Chzrm3]

the ending was just fantastic all around, I was blown away = D

[@MaskedBishop]

Just remembered Piano Squall and listening to this makes me feel 10 years younger and filled with the hopes and expectations I've been carrying back then.. His CD actually has a better quality than some "official" recordings, which is quite interesting. And Benyamin Nuss for instance, a German pianist who his well known for his Final Fantasy interpretations, gets praised and rewarded and every now and then... he deserve's it for sure, but lacking comparison I didn't back then know how good Piano Squall actually was.. Anyway, thx for the upload!

[@AlexMurphyCohen]

O.O, I thought you were playing quickly when you started lol, wow. Very clean and very much awesome! Good job man.

[@gibson22varcelone]

I don't remember where or how I found his site, but I didn't really know how to play anything other than "Mary had a little lamb". I learned how to read and to play with a little help from teachers and reading his compositions. YOU ROCK MICHEAL "SQUALL" GLUCK!

[@Bruwnie]

I couldn't believe when they said that he was playing in the Video Games Live here in Brazil. It was nice to say: Hey, I know this guy, I saw him on youtube! Great show in GVL :) In the video also

[@musicforanna]

I absolutely love how he ended this with the 'battle victory' theme. :D

[@megjknight]

Tell me you're not single. You can't be with this much talent.

[@Jenale80]

that one winged angel variation was insane. I almost liked it better than the original. absolutely brilliant.

[@clockworkfaerie]

great scot!!! Amazing...high-fives to you for posting this!

[@Finalfantasy97]

Fantastic I especially like the way they smoothly go on to the next part

[@nebulous57_2]

Dude this guy kicks ass, someone give this man a freakin medal.

[@VivianTheMitchell]

LOVE Piano Squall, and everything he stands for. Awessome music, awesome person.

[@2coolmeb]

OMG. YOU ARE AWESOME. I love your music, Piano Squall! ^^

[@krdixon]

yeah man, you really got the emotion and all of that good stuff. and your technique is quite fabulous- very entertaining to watch too! i hope i can meet you one day :D

[@AVES12341]

Nobuo Uematsu's music is amazing and this dude plays them to perfection

[@TK-Reikon]

Along with the wonderfully played music, he plays with and equally wondefull passion, as a true pianist should. I'd love to book him but I hate to ask him to fly all the way to New England...

[@ultima110]

dude that was so great!!! i only have two had, but i'll give u three thumbs up! you made a 6/5 possible !!

[@no1biznatch]

A severe wrist injury has prevented me from playing at this calibur and expertise ever again, and this was a beautiful performance. However, being a pianist for seven years, I do hear a few slips of the fingers at several points, but still a great performance nontheless. Kudos to you [: this inspires me to want to play again.

[@Auronlu7912]

wow...i never get tired of this!!! i really like the cd, also!!! for all you ppl who dont have the cd, GET IT!!! ITS AWESOME!!

[@Nanakiismyhusband]

woooooooooooow that sounded great! they all sounded like they should!

[@Likitty27]

It starts off with "Battle with Gilgamesh"(5), then it transitions into "Dancing Mad"(6). That then fades into a faster part of "Dancing Mad", then transitions into "Final Battle"(9). Goes into "Boss Battle"(4), then "Normal Battle"(10), then "Decisive Battle"(6), and "Those Who Fight"(7). It goes into "Liberi Fatali"(8), then transitions to "One Winged Angel"(7). The chord progression at the end is, obviously, the "Victory Fanfare"(FF).

[@LeNNaKo]

That was so awesome. I liked his outfit, It looked great on him. And I know, what you meant, darkendivide. I liked the way his legs were XD

[@Likitty27]

Actually, the last battle starts at 2:11, if memory serves me correctly. I downloaded the Dancing Mad excerpt from the medley, and that part is included as part of Dancing Mad. They just did a fade because there's like another page and a half of that song.

[@Taliban711]

TSss comment on peut ne pas aimer cette vidéo ?!!! C'est vraiment magnifique et tu joues très bien ! :-D Félicitation !!!

[@Fuzzyfezz]

i agree with you completely. I think the most beautiful one he played was the X battle theme he added so many flourishes it was beautiful

[@shutout59]

this was so good it actually felt like he was in the middle of a battle when he was playing

[@unknown57701]

i have piano squal as freind on myspace and he found me it was awsome that he did cuase i had just changed my theme to final fantasy 2 days before he sent a freind request......his work is awsome

[@TkdXBelt]

Nicely played. He did a wonderful job.

[@RanggaPranendra]

I didn't know Squall plays piano.. but this is just GREAT!!!

[@VanityElric]

It's an awesome thing that he is cosplaying Squall and playing those FF songs.. But it's an EPIC thing he's cosplaying an *accurate* Squall and playing *without* the sheets

[@Ryukend3n]

How awesome! I just love it. Especially that leather jacket

[@chsco]

great compilation... great pianist... i'll give 7 stars out of 5

[@HitsuHits]

Quite fitting how he went with Victory Theme in the end, seeing as this was pure epic win.

[@ShadowzI]

You know you are amazing if you can still sound fantastic at 240p on youtube.

[@Kaiross08]

really Awesome job, it's seems to be a lot of work and you seems to be a great pianist

[@Illuusion]

This is awesome! Especielly those who fight is marvellous!

amazing, such a talented individual

[@DardreiGraves]

Heh, I just got this guys CD, and I wanted to check him out live. I am super impressed!

[@TK-Reikon]

Nice work! Its a good thing I wasn't there cause after the FF4 battle 2 theme I woulda knocked you off the bench and had my way with you right there, lol. Beautiful work!

[@Guncams]

very nicely done. great work. Gilgamesh' battle theme rules, as always.

[@Grandier]

transition from FFX to FFVII is flawless.....I ENVY YOU DAMNIT!!

[@alenofbellwood]

Sweet Christmas! And he does it for charity? My hat is off to you, sir. Go forth and continue to be awesome.

[@yamibalus]

This guy is pretty amazing, I saw him at Sakura-con one year, he's pretty damn good at what he does.

[@Likitty27]

You can get them off of the PianoSquall site (the version from the medley!), if you want.

[@narutoninjutsu]

I've love this for so long; I'm being squall for Halloween and I play piano pretty well; like this level now... I've played 13 years, so I can't wait to wear it and perform at school XD

[@TheLinkmaster96]

really, you are AMAZING!! i wish to be as good as you someday!

[@velosoul717]

This is awesome,i really like the facial expressions,lol but then again all great players do that heck even i do.

[@bubba200874426]

@sephirothpi I didn't count the bridge between songs before it actually starts, but that starts at about 7:24 Several of the songs sound kind of alike because they are done by the same composer particularly the final boss themes(sort of like how everything by John Williams reminds me of Star Wars)

[@nikorasudayo]
