[@ishakenjy8344]

This game made such a impact on my life. I would have never played music if it was not for this game entering my life. I still remember being 8 years old, and being given this game by my grandfather (FFIII on the SNES). It was scaring me because of the moogle holding a dagger on the cover but I still wanted to try it. It was a preplayed copy, so when I turned on the SNES, there were games that were already present. I loaded one, in the world of ruin, and "Searchin for Friends" started playing. I still remember that feeling that got me when I took the Falcon to fly with that song in the background. 4 Years later, I would learn all these songs ;p. Sorry about that bit of life story, I felt like I needed to share that with other people who loved that game as much as I did.

[@ColbyePresents]

Isha Kenjy Thank you for sharing!

[@TheBetoMan]

Yea I feel ya! Ff games were the reason I ever picked up piano. Definitely helped me cope with life growing up as well!

[@matthewrileymcleanwilkinson]

I have a story too. I was about 5 or 6, and my older sister contracted lice from a friend. I remember my mom washing every item of clothing and every sheet, and for the first time in the game I was about to face Atma Weapon. So imagine the song, "Floating Continent" which to this day is still hilarious to think about, given the memory and context. Here, Kefka is about to rip the world asunder, and all my mom can think about is lice and shampoo. Lol. But seriously, Uematsu did the same for me. I'm not much, something of an amateur. I wouldn't have pursued music but for his compositions. Love the man. And you too, sorry for the two years late and way too long comment. Thanks for sharing your experience. If you haven't, check out Patti Rudisill and Erutan. They are amazing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn7Zi6KZYqyqnpo, kzbin.info/www/bejne/p57FmHZ4j51psJY

[@MichaelButlerC]

That's pretty cool... seeing the game for the first time in the world of ruin at 8 years old. How long did you play that before realizing you had to create a fresh new game?

[@ishakenjy8344]

@@MichaelButlerC Not long. But I was really confused when I did made a new game. I was used to the open world of the end game content. I did not speak english back then and I was extremely confused (and frustrated as I did not understand how to beat the first boss in the mines of Narshe). Eventually, I made it to the first time you leave narshe and, again, I was taken away by the music (terra's theme).

[@FoxEnigma]

I don't care what anyone says. This is the best Final Fantasy game IMO. FF7 comes close though.

[@ImUpsetThatYouStoleMyUsername]

FF6 and FF7 are both incredible games

[@johnjaquette3911]

Also, the best game.

[@albryant2148]

For me, it will always be IV

[@Joonasvarp]

Very few think IV is one of the best but for me its the second best after FFVII

[@uuuh6441]

I heard final fantasy V is extremely good but I've never put aside the time to play it. Same goes w/ final fantasy VII and onwards, I keep playing like 3-4 hours in and just lose interest because I remember how good final fantasy VI was and I feel sad that the series changed so quick like that. I'm a minority here, I know, but the change in art and story from VI to VII just upsets me so much I can't even play FFVII, but one day I will, hopefully. (it's kind of draining too since you already know what the final boss looks like lol)

[@Crichjo32]

If some say that people love FF6 the most due to nostalgia, I played it on the GBA in my early 20's and I immediately fell in love with it, and now I consider it the best FF and possibly best JRPG of all time. It's just a really good game.

[@oomusd]

I really really encourage you to try Xenogears by any way. It's maybe the masterpiece of Squaresoft, or at least among FF 6 and Chrono Cross.

[@TheWickedWizardOfOz1]

Same here, I played it in my early 20's on the PSX port. I learned to read by playing FF7 (really!), but 6 is a stronger game in just about every way (music excepted, FF7 is the greatest video game score ever). Two of the GOATs, as far as I'm concerned.

[@BoydTheMilkmanX]

Best RPG of all time? loooooooooooooooool. FF6 is really good, and it's influence was obviously one of the factors that kept JRPGs coming to western markets during a huge lapse in the games. IN terms of the quality of the writing and the themes challenged in the story, it was a very bizarre game for its time. It was astounding in 1994 --- in 1995 you had Chronotrigger which is another amazing RPG. Both easily in the top 10 most influential and easily the best of their era/ Best of all time, no, not by a long shot.

[@NickHchaos]

I had to look up what GBA is. That shows you how old I am. I played on how it was meant to be..on the SNES ,in 1995.

[@skyslywchuk]

early 20s, now one of my faves, EXACT same here!! a few eyars back.. great times

[@Guardian016]

Absolutely magical. FFVI is the king of melancholy.

[@andrelaguna5494]

In January, 2015, I had this lifetime opportunity to attend a performance from the Distant Worlds Tour Orchestra. It was in New Jersey, USA, and for me it was a big deal; every single South American knows that this type of shows are almost impossible to happen down here. Anyways, I was there, the curtains were opened, and Nobuo Uematsu was in the first row. I was like 10 rows behind, and the ticket was a salty USD 120. Whatever, what is the price for the best night of your entire life as a gamer? Then, Nobuo was invited to the stage, then started playing on the piano Dark World, from FF6. I am typing this now and crying almost the same I cried that day, and I didn't have to feel ashamed at all. Even though I was probably most emotional than most of the audience because of this single tune and my endless affection towards FF6, I knew that everybody else had their own favorite FF tune to cry on. Thanks, Mr. Uematsu, for making this world a little bit softer, more livable. I believe that a part of the man I am today is thanks to these feelings I have felt my entire life playing Final Fantasy.

Thank you for making this movie. From Japan.

Same thing for me brother. 20 years ago... What a wonderful part of my life. This game brings all those memories back

[@gabrieladerre2862]

I got it for Christmas, from my grandparents when I was 11! Its still. Y all time favorite game! I'm pretty confident that I had over 270 hours, on my main account! They also bought the game guide for me! And I got that awesome glitch, that gave me a lot of extra items! Some of them the best in the game. I believe that I had 9 Atma Weapons, as well as multiple Gengi Gloves and Offerings! I leveled my characters all to at least 75, in the desert, where the Cactaurs were! I wrecked through just about everything at that point! We have FF6 on our SNES Mini. I need to play through it again. I also put a lot of hours in FF12, and had a lot of fun doing so!

One of the best games ever, one of the best stories ever told. Only fitting that it should have some of the most beautiful music ever written. Brings tears to my eyes and takes me back to when I was a teen. Anyone who doesn't believe video games can be art has never played this game.

This is my favorite FF VI album, just purchased it last week, And leave it on overnight while I am sleeping

[@lightbeingpontifex]

How did you purchase , what format, how much,,, where at,,

[@bluestrife28]

The best thing about this game is that the older you get and the more life experience you attain, the game takes on even more meaning, the emotions hit harder, and put that with nostalgia……Magic! Pure magic. And just when you think you’ve seen it all, sometimes you missed something. I never knew Celes could actually save Cid until so much later. Things like that. I’m going to find my game, or maybe I’ll finally try the iOS version, I just love my controllers I’m old school. ❤ I think if they did a VII-style over-remake I wouldn’t play it. It’s absolutely unnecessary. This game is perfect all on its own. Yes Treasure of the Rudras was the last snes RPG by square (went unreleased but there’s well done translations available), but this imho is the last great full RPG for that wonderful system that gave me so much joy.

[@bevantan88]

Been following TPR since the start of Melancholy albums. You make my life wonderful again. Gives me strength and hope. I miss Squaresoft

[@TheSingingBUn]

To me, I have a bigger attachment to the ffvi than all the other ones. Terra being a favorite of all the franchise characters, I often felt that her character hits home to me. Her heritage and her sense of belonging, the fact that she had a detachment to all sides of the world made her more or less tragic in a sense. I love how even in the end, she didn't come to end up with anyone. Not because I don't want her in a ship, but because she was the first of the few characters who somehow found herself and found confidence in herself and not be emotionally dependent on someone else. I know this is an unpopular opinion. But of all the melancholic characters, Terra's to me felt more assuring compared to Cloud's melancholy or even for the likes of other tragic characters that I've played in other ff games (played iv, v, vi, vii and seen the gameplay of x, xii and xv)

[@2010MrIsaac]

TheSingingBUn Not an unpopular opinion at all! You'd be surprised with the VAST number of people - more specifically older gamers - who prefer Terra over Cloud and 6 over 7. 6 is more realistic and elegantly down to earth, and I believe that's why.

[@MadJaze]

Dont worry, Terra is my favorite character too.

[@lightbeingpontifex]

(tactics vii viii ix x x2 xiii) I have v and xii but haven't started playing yet,,,

[@lightbeingpontifex]

@@2010MrIsaac I prefer Terra and vi over cloud and vii and haven't even played vi,,,

[@Love1isall]

Why don't they make video games like this anymore? It has a great complex story and an extremely sophisticated musical score that actually makes you feel it. It was challenging and you actually had to figure things out not like in new games with tutorials and marks babying you all the way through. Video games are so easy and predictable these days I cant get hooked on them like I did on this one.

[@InteractiveStories]

You need to check out Undertale, Transistor, To the Moon or Life is Strange. I assure you, they still make games with complex stories (and I'm glad they do!). Hell, Undertale even parodies Celes' musical performance.

[@shuichiboy]

There are good games, but Squeenix certainly isn't making any of them. The more control Tetsuya Nomura has over the direction of the company, the worse it gets.

[@RyanGaming-sg8ix]

Interactive Stories sprites don't exist in modern games anymore so the kind of storytelling in this game can't be fully replicated, which is why remakes can't just be an update, they have to change it

[@BoydTheMilkmanX]

Only idiots say things like this. There are plenty of genuinely challenging games out there. Are they the most popular titles? No. The games of the past had abysmal quality control - Final Fantasy 6 was unique in that it restored the JRPG's popularity to Western Audiences, because previous installments were precisely that: the conveyance was so shit you had no idea what to do, or where to go, and you were often left speaking to every NPC in every town, until you had exhausted your options. The games of today are hard because they're well thought-out. Difficult games in the past were usually due to limitations of the technology at the time, and the fact no one had any real idea what they were doing. Anyone who says "why don't they make video games like this anymore?" clearly hasn't dug much into the medium.

[@Love1isall]

@@KupoKaachan yeah but I was referring to videogames in general. The only enjoyable games in modern times were well made difficult ones like the souls games, that actually posed a challenge and didn't lead you by the hand.

[@tanaka1477]

This is so good. In particular the cover of "From that day on..." I remember playing the game and finding that song a little jarring and obnoxious when I went into the towns in the World of Ruin. But your version of it is so much more somber and understated and it really makes me realize how nice of a song it is.

[@ThePharphis]

YES. This might be the best rcover in this album and certainly the best version of the song I've ever heard.

[@SwitcherooU]

Aww, that bums me out that you don't like the original "From That Day On." It's such a great relief when you hear it for the first time - your first indication that things are gonna be alright. It's a great little song to rally around.

You, Kyle Landry and a few others inspired me to pick up the piano recently. I'll be starting my own channel soon, but it will be focused more on just piano learning vlogs and other gaming stuff rather than amazing covers, because frankly, I couldn't cover squat right now. But seriously, your Chrono Trigger and FFVII albums in particular really got me inspired to give this a shot. Bought a Yamaha YPG-235 to start out, along with an M-Audio SP2 sustain pedal. I can play the basic arpeggios for FFVII's Prelude, which, of course, had to be absolute first thing I tried to learn. I always had the inspiration to learn piano because of the original music in my favorite video games, but you folks sent me over the edge. I NEEDED to buy a piano and start learning. Thanks! :)

Das Juda My favorite game of all time. Idk which version you played, but this is the definitive version for me right here: www.romhacking.net/hacks/1386/ It's the SNES version but with uncensored, with bug fixes, and dash button if needed.

[@dasjuda3946]

I emulated the original SNES version and also have the GBA version which I hear has new summons and stuff so I'm excited to give that a try, but I was unaware of any censoring honestly, does this version work with zsnes?

[@2010MrIsaac]

Das Juda Not sure about ZSnes, but try it however you can, because this version is the ultimate one. I have the original SNES cartridge, and a repro cart w/ this version... and I only play this version.

I'll do what I can, cheers for the link man, I'm pretty okay with anything that improves the best JRPG of all time :3

[@2010MrIsaac]

Das Juda Also, in my opinion, the GBA version isn't worth it. Yes, you get a extra content, but it's mostly irrelevant and the GBA screws up the graphics and the soundtrack.

[@boudicaastorm4540]

@TPR I would also like to say that you have done this game a beautiful tribute here. Epitaph was my favorite scene in the game, and you did it amazing justice. Thank you.

[@LCS6149]

So this rendition of 'Dark World' has me coming back again, and again. I have NEVER heard a version of this song that so perfectly captures the atmosphere of the story that's happening when the player first hears this song. The gentle rolling ambience in the beginning really cranks up the despair and then the subtle bell hits in the background are like the reminder that there are still people alive, and trying to survive, but the indistinct nature of the ring (nearly covered over with the main melody) again highlights the loneliness. I can hear the bell, I know there are other people, but I just can't find them. Just a masterpiece of a rendition of the song. So well done.

[@ReksNuadiah]

I have... Few words. Expressing what I feel with them doesn't feel like they're enough. FF6 defined me. Defined my tastes, my art, my love of music, my love of stories, my love of tragic, yet hopeful outcomes. I have clinical depression - very likely more things that plague me, and feeling out my emotions is incredibly difficult. But music... music is the medium that brings them out, and helps me explore them. Thank you, for these. Words are not enough to describe how your covers of the game that affected me the most have helped me understand, and push through my sorrows.

[@grumblekin]

Cyan's theme always gets me. Cyan Garamonde, faithful retainer to his family's liege, with the courage and strength of a hundred men...who finds that his greatest challenge is not in front of his sword but within his own soul as he must forgive himself for the deaths of his King, his family and his country. A noble samurai with no leader who comes to find beauty in the world and an appreciation for machines and things other than war. This entire soundtrack's leitmotifs are as instantly recognizable and release as much emotion as any famous classical piece. This is the OST of my entire childhood.

[@Lerueru]

I think this is my favourite FF album that you've put together so far. Might have a lot to do with the base work as well, but I often come back here to listen to your arrangements while I do stuff on my PC. Loving them.

[@jeannepainchaud1796]

+Nordlys I agree. Beautiful work, lots of love has been put into this :)

[@lightbeingpontifex]

Same,,,

[@ammonstyles5224]

Beautiful. Excellent job on this one, my friend. They should pay you more.

This is actually very good. I have heard many different renditions for the soundtrack or Final Fantasy 6, but I couldn't find any interesting enough to hold onto. This is something I can listen to for days. Great work!

[@lightbeingpontifex]

For days,,,,? I'll one up you,,, for the rest of my life,,,

[@Tiago-]

You did it. You properly orchestrated the score in such a way that maintains the feel of the original SNES rendition. The vast majority of orchestral versions, even official ones, don't get the tempo and rhythm right and change the whole thing. You did it. Bravo, and thank you.

This is one the best videos I ever had the pleasure of listen. Thank you, sir.

[@taracramer2878]

Your work is amazing. Thank you so much. I find I am often moved to tears by how soulful you've made these tracks. So again, thank you.

[@arttakaki]

well done... one of the best soundtracks and this rendition is epic! i put my baby to sleep with this playlist... my wife and baby fall asleep because of the pure beauty and soothing melody, where i close my eyes and picture walking through the snow on my magitech

It feels like a relaxing effect to listen to this beauty at work ;) ! Thank you TPR !

[@jimdowell1729]

yes!! been waiting for this for a while! thank you so much!

I play your renditions a lot. Every single person who has ever heard them always asks me what music I’m playing because it’s so beautiful. They end up pretty surprised when I tell them it’s instrumental video game music. Every track is stunning. You have a breathtaking talent… I wish you had higher recognition, it’s everything you deserve.
