Final Fantasy X - "Sight of Spira/Spira Unplugged" Guitar Cover | FamilyJules

This was not a song I took lightly. This song stuck with just about everyone who played Final Fantasy X and I had to do it just right if I was gonna do it at all. I went way more somber with it to give it an almost sad after thought while remaining upbeat and soulfull. The biggest thing however, as this is a very commonly covered song on KZbin, I decided I actually wanted to do it in two parts. Most if not all the covers I've seen arranged this for one guitar but I really wanted to try to capture all of the chords ringing and overtones I could to create something bigger with it.
Just a nice acoustic cover for you guys this week. I made a promise to myself I'd do more like this in Year 4 and so far I'm doing a bad job of doing it consistently besides Beneath the Mask, so hopefully I'll do more like this very soon. Enjoy!

[@ISawABear]

easily one of the most relaxing game songs ever.

[@ncolvin05]

I Saw A Bear KZbin sanctuary of Xi'Tah from FFXI. Players were know to just go there and listen to the music to chill.

[@Unexpectedstuff]

Nathan Colvin zi-tah. And my god, that feels, mate

[@avery-san8692]

"I want to be a blitzball when I grow up."

[@ScorbasGaming]

LOL. You are a Legend for this comment.

[@Izanagi-Arsene]

In response. AHAHAHAHAHA!

[@ElricSowrd]

"Kid, you go out there and be the best damn BlitzBall!" 😆

[@TexasGreed]

Don't we all?

[@Ingisen]

"Ready, then? Kick the baby!" DON'T KICK THE BABY *Kicks the baby

[@maximilianabeln4627]

I hope you had a nice vacation on besaid island ;)

[@airthefallen]

Settle it in Blitz fellas.

[@907CoolBoy]

I'll never understand how a song that's so beautiful and relaxing can also make me so sad.

[@907CoolBoy]

On second thought, it's probably FFX-2. :'(

[@lennysmileyface]

The village getting decimated by Sin before it starts playing probably has something to do with it.

[@vikvazquez9594]

ffX one of the best final fantasy games with very beautiful music

[@jaredmartin7040]

Victor Vazquez Some people hate it because they think it is too linear,they are insane man

[@mikeiscoolerthenyou]

It was. I don't hate it but very much dislike the overly long narrow hallways and Tidus.

[@Bugge5001]

You play FFX for the story, the atmosphere and most importantly the epic boss fights. Fuck if it was linear, it is still to this date the best game i have ever played.

[@AtticusBeRockin]

Sebastian Bugge exactly you nailed it man

[@anthg4563]

I don’t get why linear = bad for people. You’re on a pilgrimage to save the world, there’s literally no time to waste.

[@myinnocentdevil]

this is so perfect and he did the thing!! 2:06

[@Gallzatron]

Hahaha "the thing"

[@MattKimura11]

Your hair looks like a final fantasy character

[@phoenixparadigm1791]

I'm a great fan of the slamming metal covers... but you're actually (totally) starting to make me love the acoustic as well. This song also really suited my mood today. It's another happy Julesday 🔥🖤🔥

[@Yeeterzz]

Phoenix Paradigm Don't know if you're talking about his other videos where he plays acoustic guitars, but in this one it's a classical guitar.

[@phoenixparadigm1791]

Yato_GodOfCalamity *sigh.... I couldn't tell you the difference but thanks anyway for the correction! 😂

[@DWFTW]

Man, this was always one of my favourite FF songs. Great to see some love for it.

[@TwilightKing432]

this soothes the soul and hardens the phallus

[@ChristianRichardson]

I've lost count of how many times I've listened to this. One of my new favourite Jules videos

[@Pulsar-h7w]

This is so accurate to the song. You are my favorite guitarists on KZbin!

[@6697carlos]

I still come back to this song every now and then. It’s just perfect. I just wish it had more recognition.

[@fiestec87]

I liked this before you even started playing, just knew it would be awesome.

[@markomarkiemark]

Such an awesome cover by an awesome guy.

[@elanethecreator4678]

The ocean waves behind this makes it 1000x more beautiful 😭😭

[@Mohmega]

I love the variety you're putting into year 4 dude! Acoustic covers are so relaxing.

[@aquahighwind3708]

Your Final Fantasy X covers are exceptional, I hope to see more of them in the coming months.

[@Macalaka]

omg the seal coming up and relaxing to the song is just perfect! :D

[@jaymz6473]

Goosebumps, man. Goosebumps...

[@LaverniusTucker2410]

I had no idea so many other people loved this game and its soundtrack. I've been hiding it so long...

[@TheFenrir666]

This always puts a smile on my face! Nicely done!

[@EagleEye6486]

Loving all of the love your giving Final Fantasy X lately!

[@edge3220]

This song is just one of countless reasons why FFX is such a brilliantly perfect game. Well done!

[@RockShayde]

'Price of Freedom' deserves this treatment, great mix of acoustic, heavier sections and even violins!

[@acousticguitarcreations3740]

Getting to watch Zack from Final Fantasy 7 play a Final Fantasy 10 song on guitar? Priceless!

[@MadNut321]

Beautiful scenery. 2:27 I want to protect this smile!

[@yopfi7077]

Final Fantasy X.. i always get goosebumps

[@brannanvitek1035]

I *swear to God* this is just the actual song. Every tiny little detail is perfect- amazing cover!!

[@whoamancool]

Shivers! Thank you Jules :)

[@StonzzyVGM]

This is one of those videos I think that really shows how far you have come on your musical journey. Awesome job!

[@gsurfer04]

Such a chilled out tune. I love it.

[@Recks95]

Really, really loved this. Thanks, Jules.

[@peterlim4162]

You captured it, man. You managed to capture the essence of this piece. It is relaxing and sentimental all at once. GOOD JOB

[@Alizardwithdaftideas]

A much needed moment of chill. Cheers Jules :D

[@SpaceTiger90]

Probably one the best written music for final fantasy ever!

[@thatgamingauthor]

Dude, this cover is fantastic. On top of actually being at the ocean for this cover and the amazing relaxing music, this is the perfect cure for my usual morning stress before work. Wonderful job.

[@davidguthriemusic]

Man, this cover is beautiful. Such a chill and relaxed song, and a gorgeous filming location!

[@James_Wisniewski]

Fuck. The nostalgia hurts. You've somehow managed to make me miss my high school days.

[@FloydFreak70]

Keep the Final Fantasy X covers coming!!! :D

[@ColmRMcGuinness]

Dang son! Been filing them nails right

[@arturogutierrez8342]

What a beautiful arrangement.

[@slamdunkgator915]

I'm a fairly big fan of the music in FFX and this was one of my more favorite songs in the game. I'm glad that you kept the overall arrangement simple and clean sounding. There seems to be something special about it being covered using a single instrument.

[@MDXDMusic]

Nice and warm bud, lovely mix!

[@codybrown2851]

Wasn't expecting a cover of this, and it's fucking awesome.

[@guitarcatcovers4957]

This is crazy... Is so awesome and beauty... Very very very nice adaptation Jules! /,,/

[@NovaNinja_]

Almost 3 years later. Most underrated video ever

[@JimeMosqueda]

This is probably my favorite theme from FFX, I am in love with the seawaves background sound, it mixes very well with the cover, truly beautiful work!!

[@hotcoss]

This is my go to song for just chilling out in the sun

[@Fizzsama]

My favorite song from my favorite final fantasy. Keep up the killer work Jules

[@clowny567]

dude this is killer, awesome cover man more acoustic stuff like this !

[@girthquake465]

this takes me back

[@jeremykopatz4760]

So good man! Love the end when you look back at that seal!

[@Shakeron]

Relaxing Tavern Bard! Bravo

[@tobypaet3540]

Best song ever for a quiet day in class

[@KyNiDo]

It's a very close call which is more beautiful - the music or location. Thank god we got both in one video :)

[@botruss8318]

Beautiful cover thats all there is to say just beautiful!!!

[@xanday]

Wow, 2 melodies at the same time! Great job! :)

[@TheSoulLinked]

Your choice of covers have been exceptional lately.

[@JordiFrancis]

This is so good Jules!

[@siskohellkaiser94]

I'm so glad you've been doing FFX songs

[@tacomage3796]

Love it when you get all acoustic on us. Brilliant cover!

[@ravenmurawski1859]

Didn't know i needed this in life, god i love ffx so much

[@vanfanel07]

Takes me back to running around Besaid Island way back in 2002. Loved that game!

[@zaqhie]

God, I love you Jules for playing so many great tunes from FFX

[@tobagabonany]

Do you have your sheet music available anywhere, like your patreon? Im almost at a financial point where i can support some of my favorite creators on this site, and sheet music would be something im 110% interested in finding.

[@nonenothingnull]

he does it by ear, so...

[@tobagabonany]

þøħ€ Im asking if he wrote it down. Most people do that. No need to be so passive agressive if you dont know what youre talking about.

[@alipjemy8347]

Kyle A if anyones being passive agressive, its you

[@tobagabonany]

Alif Azmi maybe, but its not like it was unwarranted at that point. I was asking Jules if there was a way i could support him and get some new learning material, and this guy's just being rude, and misreading my request as if I'm undermining Jule's talent.

[@Unexpectedstuff]

Kyle A bro, he did that last year, but suddenly he stopped putting those out. But no prob, this song is practically unnaranged (but he don't use capo though). Just google "final fantasy x collection sheets" mostly it piano sheets but it's really easy to use. And easy to find, even on KZbin.

[@RoPanuganti]

Beautiful dude

[@MoisesNieto]

I love this song soooo much, your cover is amazing man!

[@blitzgirl6522]

One of my top favorite tracks in FFX and video game soundtrack history. I never want to leave Besaid because of this song!

[@secretsofouanalao]

Awesome cover man! I actually used it as part of my Spotify playlist during the dinner of my wedding so thank you :)

[@xopo95]

One more of the fantastic ffx. I love this men. Like :)

[@c00lbandit1]

My favorite song played by my favorite guitarist

[@myohel0]

The title should be "Final Fantasy X - 'Sight of Spira/Spira Unplugged' Guitar Cover feat. Seal | FamilyJules" :P Very relaxing cover. Captures the spirit of the original song very well! :D

[@Cortrakx3]

Holy Shit, he actually took your suggest!

[@Meudeujeu]

You even got the seal of approval.

[@philam64]

My favorite song on the soundtrack, nice work man :)

[@thosetwodudes]

So listening to this on headphones at work, this takes me back not only to Spira, but to The Isle of Besaid, I literally feel like I'm sitting in Wakka's hut!!!

[@Cid_Hi]

I used to let the game at Spira's town playing this song. Something about this song always takes me to better places.

[@GorkusTheGalka]

Fantastic piece! Good to see the FFX love. :D

[@soranguyen]

Damn, dude. That background is amazing.

[@AleSpi93]

I love this song and your cover is just unbelievable, do more of these please :)

[@rjskellz1786]

I deeply respect you dude.. you realy captured the perfect atmosphere for this song.. gave me goosebumps

[@SuperKavv]

I love everything FFX and this is such a good cover of this theme. And yes, it is unfair the amount of beautiful scenery you have surrounding you. But you deserve it :)

[@ShrimpTheFried]

Omg my favorite game.... thanks for your playing... you always playing good songs

[@WailingGita]

You brought me into a complete trance. I loved this cover it felt like a mix of Jazz and Romantic Era classical. At first I was like hmmm its been so long since I played this game. Then about 25 seconds I was like oh yeah! :D By the way that part from 2:06-2:08 was really cool! Good job with the film work Adriana! San Diego is truly beautiful.

[@HenrikRudi]

What a coincidence, I just started playing this game! Lovely cover as usual :)

[@pancakeoverload4395]

Beautiful!

[@celiarodriguez3742]

You're awesome!! This cover is great! I love it, it makes me want to play the game again

[@guitarcatcovers4957]

Third time to press play again. Is awesome Jules! /,,/

[@SKaYy94LmAo]

It's always great to hear FFX covers. I'd love to hear some more iconic themes from the game!

[@lhautlow]

Well done mate Am really enjoying your content so far ^^

[@TheRuinofDarkness]

I just love this, man. You did it so well.

[@keykosolitaire6277]

Truly relaxing. I can sleep well tonight. :)

[@gilliancrouch3961]

One of my favourite songs in the whole game.

[@87Gaming]

Omg bro, it's such a good rendition. IT ES BOOUTIIFULL

[@Altamyr]

this is such a soothing cover, you picked a wonderful setting to record this at. ✨🌊

[@mrhaakon1621]

omg pure love to this song and you play it amazing

[@ShaneSteward]

This is wicked man. Sounds gorgeous. Direct input, or into mic?

[@DYLZAL]

It always surprises me how good you are at a variety of different styles. This sounds absolutely gorgeous Jules, I love it! My only wish is that it was long; I guess the loop button will have to suffice. 33 weeks to go!

[@eldiegodelpb1]

Me parece muy bueno que ahora para cada cover estés en diferentes lugares. En este caso en la orilla de una playa que queda perfecta con este tema.

[@sorathelight223]

yooooooooooooooooooo I'm glad you did this one ong
