[@yazesvey1542]

this chanel is criminally underrated and am so mad

[@WithEther]

Thanks for the support! You guys keep us going

[@Sniperwolf0824]

Preach!

[@Nicolas-gt9qf]

Yup, so underrated, I don't even remember how I found it, maybe during my acoustic guitar period, who knows, happy to be here 😁

[@januszm5424]

@@WithEther Great work! Could you do "Clash on the Big Bridge" from FFV sometime? I wonder if you could ever collab with Dr. Pez and Marc Papeghin -- that could really make an epic Clash on the Big Bridge with live horns and stuff... PS I love your Metal Gear Solid medley. It's such a beautiful tune and there should be more acoustic covers of it. Yours is one of the best.

[@The_RedVIII]

If you think this channel is underrated, check out DK's Musicbox. Most underrated channel ever.

[@gdoubleu8045]

The guy's guitar on the left has materia slots.

[@WithEther]

;)

[@e-van8481]

Every guitar has atleast one ;)

[@fullcrackalchemist]

No linked slots though, I’d switch out your weapon.

[@VapidToast]

@@fullcrackalchemist Idk that Ovation is pretty top tier

[@TheRelaxingEnd]

this cover gives me the chills

[@WithEther]

Thanks so much!

[@GamesGuyz]

Oh my gosh, so great to see you appreciate these guys!

[@dutchlinde9976]

OMG! TheRelaxingEnd is also here

[@ace.squirrel]

You can't just hit me with Aerith's theme out of nowhere like that😭

[@TheMonkeyDuke]

Untouchable work - what a positively stellar rendition!

[@WithEther]

Thank you so much!

[@ShiveringHeat]

I absolutely love how the audio's panned to your respective positions and the sound the guitar makes when you swipe your picks and bump the guitar's body

[@WithEther]

Thanks! We felt it would be most natural to pan it out that way.

[@SaturnineSound]

I honestly hadn’t even noticed the audio panning until you said it, but yeah, it works super well. I really dig it!

[@SmeagolTheBeagle]

I've never seen an arrangement crafted with such love and precision - I enjoyed that will all my heart and soul. Please keep them coming.

[@WithEther]

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@Zentarius]

Before I clicked, I was telling myself "Nahhh there's no way this epic song will sound good on acoustic guitars..." . . . . . I swear I'm never gonna judge anything prematurely for the rest of my life. This was awesome

[@WithEther]

XD Glad you enjoyed it!

[@You-Got-Served]

[@Ic3crawler]

The timing and transitions between you two are absolutely amazing and the mixing was great aswell, especially considering you both played this independently at your own place!

[@WithEther]

Appreciate it!

[@truehappiness4U]

I am glad youtube recommended this to me! Lately I have been obsessed with music of Final fantasy 7

[@WithEther]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@luizphilippep]

I keep coming back to this cover at least once a week and I keep getting amazed

[@anthonypyne6019]

2:41, actual chills guys. This is an exceptional piece of work.

[@TheKiburedo]

I've been following you guys since your Silent Hill Medley video, about 8 years ago, I love so much your arrangements and I even managed to play Theme of Laura because of you, love your channel so much!

[@WithEther]

Thanks for the long time support!

[@GZeta789]

That fucking ending is INSANE. I love how you integrate that victory jingle into the insanity that is this arrangement of the song seamlessly. It's sooooooo gooooooooood

[@WithEther]

Thanks very much for noticing!

[@chatonpremier]

Those pick scratches were perfect 😍

[@Zestrayswede]

All those FF battle theme quotes during the final quarter, so good.

[@WithEther]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@gabe_lamas_art]

Love that switch-up with Aerith's theme partway through! :D

[@WithEther]

Glad you like it!

[@ikari3678]

I haven't watched your cover since 3 years ago, and now its still the best duo ever ❤️

[@simmeringoo3507]

i loved every second! when you overlaid cloud’s dialogue during aeris’s theme, it hurt my heart. amazing stuff

[@WithEther]

Thanks! Glad it tugged on something there ;)

[@mikeheiser3728]

Came for the thumbnail, stayed for the tunes. Awesome work

[@WithEther]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Neemstaa]

this is so sick, I've literally had this on repeat and checked out your other stuff. Keep it up!!

[@WithEther]

Thanks for checking us out!

[@shirosaki97]

I couldn't help but grin when FFX's battle theme got thrown in.

[@dikwaibdish2924]

dude that pick scraping and percussion is crazy, so clean, the playing and arrangement is also great, as per usual from this channel, so underrated....

[@Shuchrid]

How are there only 25k views, wtff?? this is SICK!!! Solos are fucking on point!!! and the panning of the guitars, oh my god. This is one of the best things I've heard in my life

[@WithEther]

So glad you enjoyed it! You can help support us by sharing :)

[@draegore]

Thanks!

[@GracetoThee]

You guys are always, always will be a Final Fantasy duo at heart, no matter how well you do other music :)

[@WithEther]

I suppose it’s kinda engrained in our name, thanks a lot!

[@combatrhapsody]

Absolutely astounding.

[@Demon1987AS]

The percussive parts are amazingly done.

[@Raikaska]

Wow, those scratch sounds!

[@Shizuka-awareness]

Love it! Especially the final one and a half minute. Pure epicness 🤩

[@Pliskkenn]

I love the way they switch.

[@neilmacdonald6637]

you guys are masters of arrangement, and such clever use of the piece's melodies in the solos! Too too tooo good!

[@RedoRoja]

I've subscribed With Ether since their first FF cover.. After many years passed, without FF cover.. I thought there won't be any FF cover anymore.. Today.. i hear battle music again

[@WithEther]

Thanks for sticking with us!

[@spzero9535]

Props to you guys, this is fucking amazing. Its awesome how cleanly you bounce the leads and rhythm back and forth.

you guys are truly the best guitar duo i've ever found on youtube (love the old school ace combat medley btw)

[@WithEther]

Thank you so much!

[@DiscoStrings]

Couldn't help but notice the low scratching beat from the guy on the left 1:40 to 1:50 is straight out of Crisis Core. A lot of passion here.

[@culturetoronto]

Cant believe you guys can still make me emotional after all these years

[@WithEther]

Glad to be a positive force for you!

@@WithEther You're welcome! 😊

[@hexelix]

I love the percussive effects you guys do when your pick hand is free, it really adds a cool textural effect to the piece. Makes me wish y'all had three hands. Probably wouldn't be much fun on dates, though. 😄

[@OrgodemirDQ7]

You guys are criminally underrated. I've followed you guys since the ooooooold days, and you are, consistently, the best acoustic guitar players on KZbin. Not only are you top-notch players, but your arrangements are fun and inventive, blending together different tunes perfectly. Your additions sound like something the original composers might have done. You guys make me want to practice more, and I hope one day you blow the roof off the video game music industry.

Thanks so much for your support!
