Final Fantasy Tactics - Battle on the Bridge (橋上の戦い) by Hitoshi Sakimoto

[@sl-nj5ry]

I can hear the "Ahhhhhhrgh" between the notes.

[@janglur]

For real though! Latent memories.

[@3plecheeseburger]

You can always tell it's Hitoshi Sakimoto just by listening for 3 seconds. His composing style is so characteristic.

[@cali5nia_]

Playing 12 after tactics be like holy shit I know who wrote this music

[@3plecheeseburger]

@@cali5nia_ Even when playing Valkyria Chronicles for the first time I was like, 'is that who I think it is?'

[@TheBSharp]

FFT? Nice. Time for some Antipyretic, please.

[@Hadaron]

Ooh, FFT, a great OST and great story blended together! I have good memories of removing all of Gaffgarion’s equipment to make his betrayal easy to deal with and take him out of the picture.

[@zalden2565]

Oh man. If only I had known during my very first play through. That battle gave me and my brother fits for days I think

[@jakapratama2590]

We all have the same predicament when we have to face Gaff on the first playthrough. Shit broke down, like literally, when my party wiped out by his repeated Night Sword. At that time I do not have counter effective job against him, because I never have a slightest thinking that Gaff would betray us, and relies on him pretty much on his Night Sword every time, until this battle. What a nightmare..

[@bling0holic]

Yeah, that illustrious first time play through of not ever thinking ild man Gaffgarion would betray you, then he slowly moves away from the party. The next play through, switch him to a White Mage and remove all equipment! Eat that traitor!! xD

[@edwinproctor8705]

yess every time give me that cross helmet

[@jamessurprisal2286]

Yes! Hahaha I remember doing that too

[@DouglasZwick]

Man, how is every friggin song in this game such an absolute **BANGER**

[@edgarava1]

Decisive battle is GOAT

[@titoamadio6858]

Man, those rapid-fire strings on the violin/viola were hardcore, and David pumping out the brass brought back some great FFT memories. Awesome job, lads!

[@nobody8717]

Takes me back to stopping Algus too late to save Tetra. And poor Delita...

[@Nastard2]

I always liked her PSX version name, Teta, better. But yeah, I can just hear the "thrupp!" of that bastard's crossbow. Idk when a video game character death ever hit me that hard. Poor girl, just caught up in some hearltess nobles' game of chess.

[@banonKING]

Tactics doesn't get enough love for it's amazing soundtrack!

[@TAPTENPAREY]

The game, let alone the soundtrack doesn't have enough recognition! This is fantastic! You guys are awesome!

[@Lordslothable]

Nice some tactics

[@Endelite]

Welcome back!

[@ThePallidor]

Fantastic! What can I say but...when Trisection?

[@nocturnalnights27]

Excellent rendition! FFT getting some big love today ❤️

[@FreedomIII]

You both have some serious chops and breadth of skill. The bow hand on the strings shows just how experienced you are.

[@meximaya]

Bitchin!! You guys have outdone yourselves. I have chills and my neck hairs standing on edge. Absolutely superb!!

[@StewNWT]

God I wish I was a talented enough musician to contribute your guys stuff. This is incredible. I've got a great voice but that's about all my piano skills are mediocre. I am pretty good on the glockenspiel lol

[@whackedoutpoobrain]

I've been waiting for your renditions of the FFT soundtrack! I hope this means more is coming! Thank you for this! It's fantastic!

[@AndresRamirez-fi5uw]

I hope so too! I didnt know this channel existed until this song came up in my recommendations as i've been watching too many FFT videos lately lol

[@nickm8644]

Seriously underrated game and OST

[@redtaperecorder1]

FINALLY! Someone giving this album the love it deserves. Most underrated FF soundtrack of all time! There's not one weak piece on it. More of this please!

[@A-Aron369]

Just started a new wotl playthrough! On the road to Dark Knight

[@justmethings691]

NICE! that has got some serious energy.

[@BigHeadClan]

Totally new here but from the first few notes I knew it would be an epic cover it’s so bombastic and dynamic. Fantastic work to all involved you killed it.

[@KillerMoustache]

Oh... the time has comes. I've been WAITING for Final Fantasy Soundtracks to eventually pop up! This is a great great day.

[@bettysuasnabar5232]

Yay. You are finally back ❤️

[@themadmallard]

yay, you're back. And yay for a little more brass -blat-

[@DeformedConscience]

Yes! ❤

[@EdisArchive]

Nice! Wouldn't mind FFT getting some more love.

[@KrzyUnit]

This is a very good rendition. I appreciate your work. Got goosebumps listening to it just like the original

[@WhatupitsTetra]

Andrew, you and your ensemble have done such a phenomenal job covering this song. It has one of my all time favorite OST's in all of gaming, and you've done it a fantastic service. I'm not sure if you intended it, but the game hit it's 25th anniversary on June 20th this year, so I couldn't be more pleased to have found this when I did. You should absolutely consider covering Trisection as well from FFT, I just know you would blow it out of the water. All of the best to you and yours!

[@FX-qe2du]

いつ聴いても蘇る私の青春！日本から愛を込めて🎉

[@OrchestralFantasy]

ありがとうございます！大人になっても青春の懐かしさを大事にするのは大切だと思います！優しい思い出を蘇らせて嬉しい。

[@DialSforSam]

Glad to see you guys back!

[@linksbetweendrinks7032]

A stunning performance by all involved.

[@broderickc2]

This was delightful to listen to, well done by you both :)

[@454Casull]

You have outdone yourself... Bravo! Amazing arrangement and performance.

[@jinshootingstar]

Goosebumps! This is soooo good!

[@TheShurimanPigeon]

I love every bit of this song but the brass is just perfection

[@takeshmode]

yesss i am loving the tactics love! thank you maestro!

[@steeziee5235]

This is awesone.

[@blackknightjack3850]

I was confused for a second thinking this was the FF5 "Battle on the Bridge".

[@medigoomnis]

I get a weird feeling this song would be filled with organs, brass, and rapidly ascending and descending notes if the bridge were bigger. I do like this song though and you did well :)

[@Pichu-82]

My favorite track from the game! Good to see you again, too!

[@4Wilko]

Ah it's been a while. Very nice! Great adaptation.

[@dymesnykels8786]

You guys have brought arranged cover justice to this piece by Sakimoto!!! Love it.

[@wendigo2k]

hell yeah I always loved this piece from FFT (which has one of the best OSTs ever) great work as ever :)

[@JacocForthe]

Nice! Please do more FFT! Also we need some of the battle themes from FF7!

[@_Mojius_]

Beautiful and complex rendition, bravo!! I had to stop playing Tactics because it was too addicting. I've almost forgotten how much I enjoy it as a game.

[@lostfan5054]

I will never stop playing FFT!!! I embrace my addiction LOL

[@_Mojius_]

@@lostfan5054 Good for you! I finally beat it last week :) GOSH WHAT A GREAT GAME!!

[@cVanishMantle]

I see FFT music and I immediately give it a thumbs up. After listening I had chills the entire time. Absolutely amazing work!

[@mikereyes2488]

No lie, a proper remake of this game should Definitely hire you guys to do the soundtrack

[@hexyearhexyear]

WOW what a way to come back this is absolutely among your all time best. amazing amazing powerful cover

[@Mah_Boiiii]

This sounds incredible! Amazing production on this, absolutely love it!

[@michaelregier8355]

OMG please do more FF tactics! Amazing!

[@kevinjerez2831]

The nitpicker in me when it comes to my precious pre 2010’s square/video game music has NOTHING to say. This is amazing so glad I found this channel

[@LouiseKwan-h5c]

you are so talented being able to play so many different instruments! love this version of this song. amazing

[@Endymion766]

The brass player looks EXACTLY like every brass player I've ever seen in my life. hi ho!

[@Hanokaze]

Always a pleasure to hear your work, and this time it's cool to hear something from my favourite FF. Good stuff!

[@onyomi]

Yay, FFT!!! Great soundtrack, great rendition.

[@chipputer]

Only thing missing is the really heavy drum hits that help emphasize the spiking action. Everything else is on point. Very well done!

[@SonsOfThunder229]

YES!!!!!

[@shirayasha]

This is wonderful and sounds just like the game track. You guys are the best recreating that OST sound with real instruments.

[@C0ttageChees]

Omg, great choice and great job!

[@c.andrewwilliams1174]

Excellent track to cover. This was one of my favorite battles from Final Fantasy Tactics!! The danger is so real even the Princess has to fight. I remember thinking how valuable every unit was, and realizing how much time one little Protect spell can buy!!

[@CAILZZZ]

Good job boys! You guys nailed it!

[@Densema]

This has to get wayyyy more attention, Just pure awesomeness!!!

[@gamingblowsofficial]

Is this the first Tactics cover here? Amazing.

[@Dracobyte]

Awesome videos! Your channel deserves more subs.

[@perpetualgrimace]

Hell yeah!

[@armorvil]

Gave me PTSD of the final Gafgarion battle, great job!

[@illuminahara]

This is really badass. I am in awe.

[@jordancrouch6352]

Excellent. I was hoping you'd do some FFT tracks, and here it is.

[@bobicramza4158]

what a legend playing this FF tactics theme i swear there is so many good soundtrack from FF tactics also theme like Legend of legaia and Digimon world 3 etc

[@cwells7285]

this is MAGNIFICENT! i long to see a choreograph of professional dancers to this

[@SipiOvaska]

Lovely and faithful arrangement as usual!

[@chillchill2779]

This is amazing, just found this channel and you got a new subscriber. Keep up the great music!

[@danielhazzinorth1219]

Oh man, this gave me chills. Nice work!

[@vita4-life852]

Incredible work!

[@fenrishound5939]

Love that double bass action

[@Jizu16]

Damn, you guys are great as always !

[@iErrantrYi]

I seen how hard you had to work that violin to keep up with the other instruments. Masterful!

[@Shyningfade]

This sounds incredible! I absolutely love this take on the track

[@6Planet]

One that would be really cool to see you guys do is "Gulug Volcano" from FF9. It's one of the standout pieces from that game, yet it plays in an obscure area and I'm not sure many people know about it. Mainly it would be cool to see the fast paced flute/recorder played on an actual instrument. The flute part sounds like it would be quite challenging to play. It does have a lot of synth sounds, but I've noticed you guys seem to be able to handle recreating synth sounds with real instruments.

[@prozacchiwawa]

Really amazing rendition.

[@lostfan5054]

Omg more FFT please!!!!!! Every song is amazing!!!

[@jamilp2869]

Yes!! Damn, that was excellent. Miss this game...

[@thelegendaryzoltan9628]

How hard was it to learn that super fast violin part?

[@vilor3854]

hats off to you guys. Really really awesome!

[@ThePalacios123]

I personally love the percussion

[@silentprotagonist6587]

I've been waiting forever for you to get to FF Tactics. I hate using the "best ___ of all time" phrase but this OST is a strong contender for the all time best

[@LeonardoGarcia-qt6lf]

Goosebumps...

[@Krelen107]

Amazing!

[@ejlahti]

The bass is so damn good

[@7thangelad586]

This is magnificent!

[@Trasgobardo]

I would just love to get covers of the greatest hits of FFT soundtrack by you guys.

[@Owtch]

Wow this is absolutely fantastic, what a wonderful redition.

[@princessofthecape2078]

I'd love to see you do Antidote. To me, that is *the* Final Fantasy Tactics song.

[@MrVariant]

Oh 3:05 from Zeirchele Falls with seeing holy knight delita for the first time and Gaffgarion betrays err shows his true employer. He's probably the best villain of the game and reasons with Ramza multiple times. Stealing the blood sword in that execution grounds battle is tough but sets up a broken dual wield build with Adrenaline Rush for more speed. RIP Black/Summon Magic lol you were epic chapter 1 but they're too fast. Hello arcane strength, you make geomancy, speechcraft and iaido's day.

[@fenrishound5939]

Honed is the blade that severs the villains head. Endless is the path that leads him from hell.

[@kurokuro727]

「命脈は無常にて惜しむるべからず… 　葬る！　不動無明剣！」

[@arkknight92]

The playing skills are amazing! This game brings back so many memories! Square Enix why having you remastered it already?!

[@christianvinicius4543]

Nostalgia, depois da escola jogando fft no ps1..

[@michaellprice7628]

Outstanding work!!!
