Ok, now i'm crying. Just like Tidus.. and just like everytime i see the ending of this wonderful game...

@@Harpsibored 😭😭😭 so much love and respect for this masterpiece ♥️

[@callmeshaggy5166]

"You're gonna cry. You always cry. See? You're crying."

[@Harpsibored]

Always loved that they depicted Tidus as the "crybaby." It's ok for boys and men to cry too! Especially once they realize they have to use Kimahri in a solo battle.

[@Omegaroth666]

No, you're crying!

@@Harpsibored "what can i do for you!!!"

[@estefencosta1835]

X-2 was a real missed opportunity to explore Yuna's grief more thoroughly. They had the right idea by echoing the grief felt by Shuyin over what happened to Lenne but they scarcely touched on Yuna's story. They also tried to force the girl power component a little too much for a story that really seemed to be about great loss and even some disturbing elements like the experiments Paine, Baralai and Nooj experienced. Real whiplash tonally. Beautiful composition. I've only replayed X a couple of times since I was a teenager but this theme never fails to hit me in the feels.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you for listening!!! Yeah I agree. I'm not even sure what the Crimson Squad had anything to do with the main storyline, besides being an underwhelming "mystery" that involved a sphere collecting sidequest. Bleh

[@estefencosta1835]

​@@Harpsibored Agreed. X-2 was a hodgepodge of interesting ideas that didn't really fit together. The silliness of the Gullwings seemed to be trying to be uplifting or a way for Yuna to move forward after what happened in X and using the Lenne/Shuyin scenario as a vicarious way to experience that loss being a contrasting element but ultimately the silliness undercut capacity for emotional depth. Then of course the Crimson Squad seemed unrelated to anything else altogether. Any of those 3 elements on their own more fully realized could have been good but all 3 of them were underbaked and didn't play nice with each other. Shame since X was such a triumph. Beautiful title music though. Eternity is maybe my single favorite piece of video game music. It's so beautiful I get chills listening to it. No clue if it would work on a harp though.

[@JasonHubsch]

The emotions came immediately with just the first few notes. By about the three-minute mark, I could envision the accompanying scene in my head as well.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much!!! Man I had the whole ending sequence in my head while playing this... 😭

[@zbombie9021]

The section where it plays Zanarkand nearly made me cry. Beautiful!

[@genchgenlgvan64]

It's okay to cry lol I'm crying as well

[@Harpsibored]

"Yuna, I have to go. I'm sorry I couldn't show you Zanarkand"

[@momoru]

To this day, this is still my favorite ending composition in any game in the series. This was such a beautiful arrangement. I can’t imagine how many takes this took 😭

[@Harpsibored]

You don't wanna know. Hahaha. Thank you!!!! Definitely one of the most emotional game endings. Ughh.

[@truthhurtsohwell05]

Hard to not cry when hearing this! Brings me back to when I first beat the game and couldn’t stop crying at the ending. This is my favorite final fantasy game

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much for listening!!! Agreed, the ending of FFX is hauntingly beautiful. FFX-2, on the other hand..............

No, I'm not crying and remembering the devastation this ending hit me with when I first played it through over 20 years ago, and I'm certainly not tearing up because this is such a brilliant rendition of the song, I'm not, it's allergies, obviously.

"Listen to my story. This....may be our last chance." That line....it was the words that went through my head when I watched the ending for the first time. That's what finally broke me, those two lines. This was absolutely beautiful, thank you.

Really blown away by this. Really excellent choice of a piece too. Subscribed

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you! I love this song. Probably ended up choosing it because the original one does start off with harp! And the FFX ending FMV gets me every time. I don't care how many HAHAHA memes I have to look at in FF fanpages, this game makes me ugly cry.

[@JackBz]

@@Harpsibored Agreed with everything you said 100%. I think my favourite small moment of the whole game is during the montage that plays after Yuna says "or the dreams that have faded" and it has that shot of macalania and that melody that you play at 5:54 is playing

Excellent performance, keep up the awesome work !

[@RodMerida]

Would you dare to make the ending of Final Fantasy VI? That ending composition is apotheosic. With this arrangement you prove to be pretty capable of that. By the way, the 2:40-4:00 part shook my heart. I was distracted listening to this and didn't expect it. It took me by surprise, lol.

Wow Milli Vanilli? Hahaha you must be from my age group. Only people that grew up around that time would know about them. That's too funny. Excellent music. It's amazing to see how strong the harp holds up on it's own with a skillful player using it. Thank you for sharing these amazing performances. Nobuo Uematsu is the greatest musician in my opinion. I know I'm not alone in feeling that way.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you so much!! ❤️ HAHA what can I say, I'm a child of the 90s. Although that still is young to know them I guess. I know of them more in retrospect as a cautionary tale of what happens when the people in charge are dickwads.

@@Harpsibored Yeah those guys are sorry sons of beaches ⛱ for sure. I still have Milli Vanilli's old cassette tape somewhere buried in my garage. It's actually something my parents gave me when I moved out on my own a while back. Aaahhh the memories. Thanks for chiming in on those scumbags haha.

Une fin de jeux tellement belle et émouvante. Tidus devient une sorte de songe. Et c'est à se moment la ou il avoue sont amour à yuna. C est quand on risque de perdre se que l on n'a de plus précieux que l ont se rend compte de sa valeur.

[@Antis14CZ]

I have two words for you. Standing. Ovation. This one hits me right in the feeliver. FFX's ending is greatness because the story is greatness and this song is nothing but a multiplicator to that greatness. I tried playing this on a piano, the official piano OST version of it, but I never perfected it. I learned To Zanarkand, that was good enough for me. You breathed new life into it and it was beautiful. Yeah, FFX-2 was weird. I don't hate it per se (I save that feeling for FFXIII-2), but it was weird. The best thing about it was the in-game menu. Seriously, I love it. I know it's a weird thing to like in a videogame, but man, was that thing pretty. Also, Memory of Light and Waves, that was awesome. Probably would translate well to harp, too.

[@Harpsibored]

Thank you!!! ❤️ This song was super emotional to play. Definitely had images of those scenes running through my head. Memory of Light and Waves is on my to-do list, along with 1000 Words! I'll.......get to it....eventually..

@@Harpsibored I can imagine you have a list of requests stretching into infinity.

Thank you!!! This is actually my second recording. Got one I really liked but my mic cable malfunctioned and I decided I'd rather just rerecord it than try to fix it with VSTs...sigh. Hmm I don't remember it forever, but as long as I have these recordings it's fine, 'cause listening to these jogs my memory. I like to have these recordings for posterity, in case a) I forget the song b) one day I'm an old arthritis-ridden hag and can't play anymore

No, not yet! Sheet music is really one of my weak points. Are there specific pieces you're interested in? Since you're both a harpist and FF fan would definitely love your input.

Hahaha that FFX-2 shade. Honestly I really tried to get into it, tried to set aside any pre-concieved notions I had and try to enjoy it for what it was, but I just couldn't. There were a handful of scenes that were good, but other than that.... A lot of people enjoyed it for the gameplay, but I couldn't really get into that either. I don't have any issue with the concept of the dresssphere but the execution didn't feel very satisfying to me.

I loved the dresspheres, the battle system is reminiscent of the FFV job/class system. But yeah the dialogue and the plot was just.....................................no.
