Final Fantasy 6 Will and always forever be a masterpiece, Great story and music!

[@reniisgod]

Absolutely. If any FF deserved a remake it should have been 6. Masterpiece

[@fulltimehustlin3663]

@@reniisgod There is still hope

[@Silk-TW]

Starting with Matoya's Cave is perfect

[@BuckeyeChris3]

FF1 is so underrated, from both a gameplay and musical perspective. Lots of people started on FF7 or later and missed out on some great stuff.

[@xKillZone99]

FF1 was not that good, i had it on NES back in the day and never cared for it, 2 onwards really took the series in the right direction, and 6 is probably the best in the series.

[@judahshort08]

So glad to see you giving so much love back to arguably the most influential series of all time, and making such a positive mark on these already amazing songs. Glad I found you.

[@VGJunky]

You think it's worth calling it "Crossing Those Hills/Melodies of Life" in case people are looking for that?

[@kilvasify]

Your music heals my soul a little more everytime Lara, thank you...it was so beautiful tears started running down my face..

[@aaronh248]

Well done on all of these tbh. Listened to the originals probably 500x each while working, doing stuff around the house, studying, whatever and you do well to honor the originals with 1:1 sound but add in your own charm. Very nice. Your channel quickly became a favorite. Piano can convey so much emotion so well. Speaking of emotion if you wear a mood ring does it sing to you? :P Jk! Love your work I'll be a long time listener

[@myerr21]

yikes, 22:34 made me miss a breath

[@FamousWolfe]

I legit named my one-year-old daughter Aeris (as in that's her first name on her birth certificate) because my wife and I both love FF7 lol. Kinda funny, my daughter ended up with long brown hair and green eyes, maybe when she's older we'll have her cosplay as Aeris haha. Keep up the great work Lara6683! (note: I'm well aware the character's name is Aerith, however over here in the West her name was Aeris in the original PS1 release so that's what we went with).

[@jclausi02]

No joke. Some of the THE BEST covers of Celes', Aeris' and Cloud's themes. God they hit so hard in the nostalgia.

[@direitoaoponto2347]

48:00 Dali village theme is so relaxing and beautiful. Also underrated. Yours was an amazing performance.

[@connorgreenwell5731]

I write books. The beautiful piano music Lara plays help keep me in that creative state of flow. I love these Final Fantasy and the Castlevania songs best. Thank you Lara, for keeping a fellow artist fueled and inspired.

[@kps84094]

I have played the piano for 39 years and have always wanted to arrange some old video game music on the piano but have never gotten around to it. Your arrangements are gorgeous and inspiring. I can't like your videos enough. Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent!

[@chrisb5023]

So much nostalgia when you play these beautifully put together rpg soundtracks. Your talent and familiarity of them all shows you've done more than learn the music but maybe a few hundred hours of gameplay haha. Well done

[@mickaelbertoux6180]

i'd love to hear your version of the castle from the 8. thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us.

[@neoasura]

This reminds me of those Final Fantasy MIDI medleys from back in the late 90s. I would listen to them for hours. You did a great job!

[@victoraparici8715]

Super!!

[@pena439]

It feels so good when wonderful musicians play your favorite songs.

[@Poldx]

the moment you realize how touching music can be when you randomly start crying to this beautiful piano play. thank you.

[@andyluizsousa]

Theme of love is my fav FF song of all, and you performed in such a beatiful way..... so emotional... Obrigado from Brazil!!

[@kevinstachovak8842]

Wow! You are talented! You brought a tear to this old man's eye. Played FF1 when it first came out and you brought back great memories of my childhood. Thank you.

[@peecee1812]

I mean all of them were awesome! But my favorite one was @32:56 ahead on our way from ff7, so so good!

[@h.downey5980]

Am I lucky --- or what ? It is 6:06 AM in the eastern time zone this morning. And I caught Lara6683 playing her music with only 50 viewers ahead of me with the only comment being Lara herself 13-minutes ago !!! Usually, I catch Lara with thousands of viewers ahead of me and zillions of comments already. Nice job on this one Lara6683 and on all your ones before as well !!! ...Bruce of Myrtle Beach, SC**********

[@nightmarishcompositions4536]

Celes’s theme and Aerith’s theme always hits me in the feels 😢

[@Jdogrey1]

Aerith's Theme is so sad because of the in game events.

[@Zzues]

Same here, Terra's story along with the tone of her theme always gets me. Same with Aerith too, of course.

[@lee_pudding-98]

My favorite is the main theme. But all of them are really great! 🤩

[@Sanktstefan]

22:38 ...and there we go... chills right down my spine, back up and the goose bumps all over my arms...

[@judahshort08]

Okay so I watched from start to finish, and restarted. After an hour of these beautifully recomposed compositions, Matoyas Cave hits the nostalgic button all over again.

[@randominternetdude2179]

'arrangments' is a more succinct way of saying "recomposed compositions" :) I'm glad to hear you were so moved by this performance

[@alexv4907]

Just here trying not to start bawling at work during Aeris's Theme.

[@BlackCubone]

So I'm not the only one, heh

[@13ludyBlitz]

Thank you Lara. Final fantasy 9 is my all time favourite game. Listening to you play some of the music from it brings back all the memories from playing it as a kid! Such a beautiful piece of music.

[@alexandresavardo]

Your arrangement of Aerith's (if it's yours?) theme litterally made me cry, in a moment where I believe I had something that needed to be externalized. I listen to music every day and I don't think I've found anything that's moved me as much in the past 5 years at least. Thank you for this.

[@iank3924]

Got me too with the tears

[@Modioman69]

Same actually. Just hit me like a ton of bricks. Such a powerful piece of music.

[@TheDigitalDecade]

Not hers. That version has been around a long long time. Very well performed though.

[@sannbonn3]

I am Japanese. I especially like the Chrono Trigger, FF 6. I was captivated by the beautiful melody. Thank you! 私は日本人です。 クロノトリガー、FF 6が特に好きです。 美しい旋律に虜になりました。 ありがとう！

[@VicJang]

such a beautiful video. It deserves many, many more views. Great job Lara.

[@lee_pudding-98]

My favorites: Main Theme of FF4 Terra's Theme Phantom Forest Cele's Theme Forever Rachel Aeris' Theme Main Theme of FF7 Ahead on our Way Eyes on Me Silence Before the Storm

[@brianarsuaga5008]

Silence Before the Storm is a really neat arrangement that makes a good piece much more soulful

[@lara6683]

It’s my favourite ❤

[@ccalebcampbell2941]

There's a Somewhere Over the Rainbow quality to Aeris's Theme that really encapsulates her story arc. She is the only surviving member of an entire civilization. And she is the heart of the party, pierced through the heart. Normally a non-interactive KZbin lurker but you've really caught my attention.

[@skycheung7510]

It’s so good that I got tears in my eyes listening to this

[@angieb8950]

I love the soundtrack of FFIV. You play it so beautifully! And "Terra's Theme" and Celes's Theme" gave me goosebumps! Thank you.

[@myerr21]

Aeris theme will always get me in those first three notes. Its like remembering everything thats gone all at once.

[@xavimc]

Thank you for this FF collection! I love how you feel the songs, and this gets reflected in the music, simply amazing!

[@flowerFOG]

I'm the darkness You're the stars

[@Zzues]

Just hearing these songs make me so nostalgic and you play them so beautifully. Thank you.

[@leandrosantti4]

Best Celes's Theme I've ever heard. Thanks for this!

[@petesimpson5886]

Very nice. Have you ever listened to TPR's covers on Spotify? :)

[@kairon156]

Thanks Lara, Listening to the classic FF songs always feels like coming home and the amount of emotion you play with means a lot to my ears.

[@jikwia4301]

Petit message de France pour te dire que ton talent est incroyable, tu est incroyable. Merci pour ces émotions, du fond du coeur !

[@KingNiros]

Lara, you are just a serious blessing. :) Hope you are well! BTW, your top 20 is awesome!

[@IfOUGHTpIRANHAz]

Wonderful playing! My favorite FF7 piece with the main theme motif is Words Drowned By Fireworks (during the date scene). My favorite FF7 piece with the Aerith motif is Flowers Blooming In The Church (during the scene when Cloud crashes through the church ceiling) No real reason I mentioned. :)

[@GananGster]

No reason is needed to express your love for FF7 music! Especially when Aeris is involved!

[@antoniodirocca6202]

Great selection, wonderful music, beautiful piano covers! (Nobuo Uematsu best composer ever!)

[@tonberryhunter]

[@pugjared]

Terra's Theme makes my chest swell with so much emotion.

[@Goestohollywood-l8x]

Me2 man. So epic

[@Krokador]

Didn't think that was possible, but both Terra's and Celes' themes here felt more powerful than the original. Celes' in particular, gave me chills. And brought tears to the corner of my eyes. So beautiful. I just found your channel a few days ago. Listened to 1 song and immediately subscribed. It's making me want to dust off the keyboard and start playing again. oh god... you followed that up with Forever Rachel... now I'm crying.

[@VGJunky]

Good picks! I'd probably stick in Rose of May or You're Not Alone from FFIX and Somnus from FFXV

[@namu115]

Only rediscovered this channel again after hearing your Night King listen and play. Forgot how nostalgic it is to listen to a lot of 90's themes and games. Keep up the great work :)

[@Velykyidanstar]

Я слушаю эту всю музыку и просто восхищаюсь.

[@sauloeduk]

Matoya's Cave and Kids Running through the city are also two of my favorites.

[@andrewkhan1028]

Silence Before The Storm is my favorite song in all of Final Fantasy, awesome job. Damn, you are great!

[@felixp535]

Happy to see someone else who prefers Silence Before the Storm to To Zanarkand! That song is incredible
