Crazy how FF I to FF FFVI themes match so well with each other! And OMG the transition between FF III and FF IV themes is gold!

[@Soniman001]

I mean they all share the same baseline

[@MereBearScare]

The common theme I see with the battle themes seems to be four parts to the themes: the initial shock of battle, the rising action, midst of fighting and action, and last part has this more flowing sound with a somewhat heroic feel to it, like it's saying "we got this guys".

😂😂😂 kool-aid man 😭

[@CloudStrife8894]

That is actually really touching my heart, Thank you for that Honestly.

[@SHKEVE]

it might be because the playstation’s CD audio support gave Uemateu so much more freedom so his compositions got more complex and varied.

[@liamconverse8950]

FF6 fighting a boss music is the best

[@zombinekiller]

I really hope you’ve had a chance to hear the music in ff7r. So epic.

[@momokolove]

When the FF6 theme came on I smiled so hard. That's my game, man.

[@frozenaorta]

The boss music is what rules that game, though. As well as the boss music in FFIV (and the Four Fiends music).

[@MrNicefff]

By far the best,

[@ibuj001]

Ff 7 was my first ff,and gee did i love the game.It opened me up to so many emotions.Ah,the memeories of trying to defeat Emerald weapon

[@Guanvro]

Hearing the battle themes from FF1 to FF6 gave me such a nostalgia rush and reminded me how much I love those games and its OST. Uematsu truly manages to give you pretty engaging and catchy battle tunes without going overly exaggerated with the instruments (something that happens in some newer RPGs where the battle tunes try to sound so epic but end up quite overwhelming and sometimes unnecesarily complex).

[@ElDouggler]

I expected to read some comments bitching about minor timing issues here and there... im glad that I was wrong, and see nothing but praise and amazement at this wonderful talent. You did a fantastic job, sir, and Nobou would be proud. Play on, brother. Play on!

[@michaeladams5340]

I mean its his adaptation to the music. Considering he took the time to learn all of these songs he can change things up a bit if he would like to. ^_^

[@ElDouggler]

@@michaeladams5340 i agree with that 100%, I hate seeing comments downplaying musicians creative takes. Music comes from the heart and soul and wont be the same for every player.

[@michaeladams5340]

@@ElDouggler as someone who enjoys playing the piano recreationally I find playing music to your own tune to be quite enjoyable. Of course any pianist who plays technical piece may want someone to stick to the original artists creation. But, I think Mr Uematsu can speak for himself and would applaud anyone for taking the time and effort it took to learn how to play this song and make changes. But thats just my opinion of the matter. ^_^

[@crispycris2009]

Hearing Final Fantasy X is so nostalgic for me. I remember when my older brother would play it on the PS2. That was like ten years ago. Man how time passes by. Anyways great renditions if the pieces.

[@felixwalne3494]

Amazing. I love how 9 returns the same sound as the earlier games, the drums in 9’s battle theme get me so hyped 😂

FF9 is one of my favourite games of all time but I can really hear the similarities in FF1 and 2. You did a phenomenal job in merging them all together and brining back nostalgic memories from playing those games and also giving me motivation to keep learning the the piano. Absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting this together so seamlessly few could of done it so well.

[@LugeoOrbis]

The Ff2 battle theme was pretty epic. I can't imagine how hard that must have been to play. I also really like how quickly you switched from game to game. Uless that was some clever editing I can't imagine that was easy.

[@DJmisterpeluca]

+PhantomSoul The Decisive Battle, Fight on! or maybe Dancing mad?

[@phantomsoul8937]

+DJmisterpeluca I wouldnt want to decide that. ^^ I think every boss battle track in final fantasy is great. But if i had to choose i would go at least for J.E.N.O.V.A and Fight on! Maybe Other World would be cool too but i dont think its possible to play on piano because its all about vocals and the rammstein like band music. :O
