[@jeremyj2668]

That's really beautyfull, thanks for that.

[@minasojomassiel4397]

Because this song and area are one of the earliest things you'll experience, really made it one of the strongest and fondest memories I had from FFX. I still recall how I just put the controller down and took it all in when I had first reached it~

[@Harpsibored]

Yeah plus Besaid is the first time you really experience a sense of peace after the constant violence of being shuffled around by Sin and confusion with the Al Bhed. I feel like Besaid is really where the journey starts to take off

[@EliWintercross]

​@@Harpsiboredit also helps that Besaid was such a beautiful place

[@lambchop58]

I still remember when Lulu trying to drill it into my thick skull that you need fire spell to defeat water flan just outside Besaid vilage

[@VersusJordan]

I think this game might have been a lot of kids first real experience of "beauty." It was for me.

[@XXXKaruXXX]

​@@lambchop58 well you dont remember the lesson that well cause fire spell is for ice flan and thunder spell for water flan 😂

[@PokemonUnwrapped]

Its always the music that makes me want to play this masterpiece again

[@Harpsibored]

Better get playing again.......WithYunaByYourSide

[@Pauly0705]

​@Harpsibored I always hated how Tidus says that line. It sounds so unnatural lol. Like he rushed it.

[@colins2876]

Agreed. So atmospheric. Visiting another universe, like only final fantasy can convince you...

[@colins2876]

​@@Harpsiboredamazing practice and control, love it!

[@swan-oq8qk]

​@@HarpsiboredHa ha ha ha ha ha ha. It was only later, that I realised... they wasn't really laughing!

[@prepcoin_nl4362]

Nearly every JRPG has this idyllic peaceful "opening town" music to create a baseline of innocence as a reference point for the journey into darkness ahead of the heroes. But usually you hear it almost right away, as the second or third track in the game. What makes it hit so hard in FFX for me is that you don't hear this track for hours. You hear sad piano music, a rockin' metal track, battle themes, and all kinds of unfeeling electronic ambiences. You go on quite the journey just to get to Besaid, and nothing before feels like a home (including ironically Zanarkand.) So when you get to Besaid Island a good 3-5 hours into your journey, it feels like such a relief. The music captures that feeling of home so well not by starting you off there but by giving you the returning of coming back to it. Indeed, Besaid is the closest thing to a home that Tidus will ever know through the game. And once the party leaves, there will never be a story reason for him to come back - what he will find in their long journey to Zanarkand is anything but home. Such a great game. Thanik you for the cover.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much 💖 yeah I think Besaid is so fondly remembered by us not just because it's objectively beautiful, but because it's the first moment of respite in the entire game. I guess never having a story reason to come back applies to nearly all of the FFX locations, which emphasizes the stretch of the pilgrimage and your characters' growth. Man, what a game..

[@Thatsh1tsdingo]

You gotta come back for Valefor's second overdrive and to commit suicide to the one dark aeon you think you could beat

[@prepcoin_nl4362]

@@Thatsh1tsdingo That's why I said "story reason." I don't think any of the end game padding really counts. And it makes for a more bittersweet story if you think that canonically, Tidus never got to see Besaid Island again, the closest thing he would ever experience in-game as home.

[@Thatsh1tsdingo]

@@prepcoin_nl4362 That’s true, I loved how it was a one way journey. Every place pretty much was. I think they intended it that way so it feels like you’re just approaching the inevitable end, the death and separation, that no matter how many happy moments they had, it was all temporary, that even defeating sin isn’t the happy ending. I remember the first time playing that I kinda quit at the calm plains because that was really the beginning of the end.

[@cellamuert]

@@prepcoin_nl4362 in my head besaid was respite, it was a place to refuel and tidus found the love of his life, but it was never "home" and i don't think the developers intended it to be. tidus thought he'd find that home in luca. besaid is just serene in itself. ironically, i think it's sense of home comes from non-story concepts - it being the first peaceful place in the game and yuna. storywise tidus (we the player) only want to get back to our actual home in zanarkand.

[@LimarieOrtiz]

No joke this made me tear up immensely. So ethereal and transporting to happier younger days long passed. This game was so formative to me growing up and holds a special place in my heart to this day. It's music / story have such an immense emotional impact. Easily one of the greatest games ever made.

[@SurferConky]

This will play at my wedding I swear

[@Harpsibored]

I've never heard a more beautiful cover of this song. 🩷 Brings me back to my teenage years in the early 2000s playing FFX on my PS2. ✨️💕

Just heavenly, the harp is such a beautiful instrument.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much! I agree. Albeit, I am biased af.

[@Lunariant]

When I'm stressed, I put on Besaid. It's like a balm that soothes me and helps me put things in perspective. It feels like an old friend. Every arrangement is my favourite: the original (which I like to think of as Besaid in the day), the HD remaster arrangement (Besaid at night), and the Piano Collections version. Now I have a splendid new arrangement to enjoy. Thank you for this gift, what a lovely way to start the day!

[@Harpsibored]

Yay, I'm glad you have another!!! Thank you so much for listening!!! ❤️ yeah Besaid is also one of my go-to stress relief tracks

[@daltronium_4781]

100% agree, this song feels like sunshine in a safe place

[@adamparker5467]

This song does the same for me, and I find The Sight of Spira / Spira Unplugged to be similarly soothing. Honorable mention to The Travel Agency, and Luca as well.

[@JetFiiire]

Feels like a dreamlike version of Besaid Island theme. Could be played during a scene where Yuna and Tidus go back to Besaid during a calm period, and chill on a roof looking at the stars in the night sky, enjoying the time spent together and forgetting about everything else.

[@Harpsibored]

That sounds lovely 🌛🌊 it's too bad we don't really get to see Besaid at night, aside from that scene with stay away from the summoner lady. Thank you for listening!! ❤️

You're my favorite Final Fantasy music creator. Heavenly. I grew up playing those games, with my first one being FF2 for SNES (FF4 proper). The last one I played was FF12, although I suppose we could say FF14 online.

[@Harpsibored]

There are many people covering FF music so that is a HUGE compliment, thank you so much!!!!! 💖💖💖 Let me guess, was your next FF game FF"3"? The...one with Kefka and Terra? 😂

[@iflako88]

When the game really gets going and sets the mood imo. Water theme, great music, battle on land and water. Love it now and forever. Great arrangement as always. Love from Norway.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much!! 💖 Yessss Besaid is when things really get set in motion. The game almost tricks you into thinking this will be a peaceful journey

[@ferdk16]

What a beautiful rendition of such a beautiful piece! These Hamauzu tracks in FFX work so well, Hamauzu embraces his more ambient style full on and it creates a distinctive vibe from Uematsu's tunes in a cohesive way. I love it! As for your question: I think Besaid is the more welcoming place for many, myself included. Really feels like the obvious first choice! I think the peaceful music also helps make the choice (I'm expecting this blasting from the heavens, and a guitar duo in town performing Sight of Spira 24/7). In reality I'm more of a man of convenience so I'd probably gravitate to somewhere more urbanized, Luca maybe? I dig sports too so that could be a plus!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much! ❤️ Totally agreed that Uematsu is basically the king of melody and Hamauzu the king of ambience. Such an awesome power combo for the OST. Haha maybe you're a Lucan who vacations in Besaid every year for 2 weeks.

[@ferdk16]

What a beautiful arrangement! This is easily one of the best video game tracks of all time.

[@Harpsibored]

Brought tears of nostalgia to my eyes

Thank you for listening 💖

[@DatFooGamma]

This is beautiful!! Besaid is one of my favorite video game songs and has been a great help in giving me some peace during some recent tough times. The fact that you recreated that serene, peaceful beauty in your cover is wonderful. Thank you for this!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you for listening!!! 💖 Same same, Besaid got me through a ton of really stressful study sessions

[@mcsone8922]

In my opinion, by far the most beautiful interpretation of "Besaid". This is what angels look like when they play the harp.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much 💖 do angels keep the tags on the dress and return it after recording the video? Because that's what I did here 😊

[@mcsone8922]

@@Harpsibored Apparently I was so under the spell of the harp that I didn't even notice ^^ I wish I could listen to you live. Keep it up, thank you.

My favorite track on the FFX OST by a mile. This is a wonderful arrangement and performance.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much!! 💖 One of my faves too!

[@ElementalityStudios]

This is so serene that it makes me feel nostalgia for a game that I haven't even played. Amazing job!

[@Harpsibored]

Thanks so much! Highly recommend FFX, especially in the summertime 😎🏖️

[@martinlatour9311]

This was my favourite game as a kid, and still is the best game probably I ever played, magical memories from Spira. You play these so well, it's amazing.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much ❤️ FFX is such a special game. My 2nd fave forever after X.

[@gloamgirl]

This beautiful song has lived rent free in my head for 20 odd years, and now your beautiful rendition of it will take that place. Thank you for such gorgeous music 💖💖💖

[@Harpsibored]

I am honored!!! 💖 Thank you so much for listening!

[@RidvanDuzey]

Goosebumps all over, this takes me back to my childhood of playing this game with my little brother! Wow!

[@Harpsibored]

Aww sounds fun. I briefly watched my cousin play this and was blown away by the beauty of the game ❤️ was playing it myself a few months later!

[@nathanryan8555]

thank you, i think i've finally found something that calms my recent anxiety, this is amazing!!

[@Harpsibored]

Ahh I'm happy to hear that!! ❤️ if you haven't seen, I have an hour long version of this song as well. I love listening to extended FF music to relax too 🎵 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZ6qd3uueNNkqNE

[@Dyundu]

Well, if this isn’t a sign from the universe that I need to go back and replay FFX, I don’t know what is. This was lovely-thank you for this!

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you for listening!! 💖 yesssss, do it. This is your story.

[@Narishma14]
