Ultimecia Castle Theme - Church Organ Arrangement

[@AntoniusTertius]

More amazing Final Fantasy tracks on Church Organ here! kzbin.info/aero/PLZEnJYTpe5GBYbu33N46AVFb-f6yZ2Xuo

[@donmckay7742]

Think we were spoiled with gaming back then. Still have yet to find a game that can match the epic FF8 adventure through the castle, music made the experience for the first time amazing!

[@AntoniusTertius]

Indeed! I'm not hyped for the new Final Fantasy at all, I do hope it is epic and it comes with some organ music :) Please, check out liberi fatali on church organ too ^^

[@voborny]

If there is ever an FF8 Remake with serious investment into the project, I could see this section of the game alone taking 10 hours easily with all the extra boss-like battles preceding the final boss battle.

This is the best version of this song on KZbin.

[@AntoniusTertius]

Thank you very much ^^ Sadly almost no one knows of this version...

[@DarioOliveri]

True, even better than Deiana's version (which was changed to be a bit more "circus like"). Automatic add to my playlist

[@nyxvar]

I’ve played through the first three discs of FF8 many times, but I don’t think I’ve braved Ultimecia’s Castle again since the first and only time I beat the game - and yet the theme is indelibly emblazoned onto my memory and has been for the past twenty years. Thank you for this amazing rendition of such an evocative and atmospheric piece!

[@AntoniusTertius]

You are welcome :) Thank you for checking out my work ^^

[@Akhhmorn]

Honestly, this theme, The Extreme and Eyes On Me will forever be engraved in my memory. Beautiful music, absolutely stunning soundtrack.

[@SharkWithFreakinLaserBeam]

"the first three discs" I haven't heard that in a while and forgot about multiple discs lol

[@manoelnt0]

[@ChaosMoogle]

Memories 🥲

[@AntoniusTertius]

Indeed! FFVIII was my first rpg, my favorite Final Fantasy (along with XII), and it got a stellar soundtrack, the best FF mini game (Triple Triad) and memorable places like Ultimecia Castle. I'm so glad I could arrange this one track for organ, I will publish it on Spotify next month, or in January at the maximum.

[@expertButtonPresser]

Great interpretation of an awesome theme! This could only work with organ, really :)

[@alansquared]

This is incredible. Chills throughout. Extremely well played!

[@AntoniusTertius]

Thanks! I will try to publish my One-Winged Angel (original version) organ work before Halloween. I already published the Rebirth one but it sounds too chaotic.

[@veritassyfer1185]

Is it me getting old or I noticed there is definitely more love, passion and respect for gaming back then there is now? People don't make remakes or arrangements for OST's like this now. This was beautifully crafted.

[@AntoniusTertius]

@@veritassyfer1185 Thank you so much ^^ I noticed that arrangements in remakes normally don't surpass the OSTs. Check out my Final Fantasy VI organ works too, I also publish my works on music streaming services :)

[@KaraOfTheSea]

I've been trying to find someone that played this on a real church organ for years! (There was one person who did it on a electric organ but I guess they deleted their video). I am shocked your the only one that has done it! Thank you for recording this!

[@AntoniusTertius]

People get dissuaded from recording pieces such as this one because almost no one cares for organ music, let alone video game organ music... what a pity... It saddens me...

[@guyverjedi]

Very sad .. its not the same without it.

I think FF8 - Fisherman's Horizon, would sound amazing on organ.

Indeed! I agree. I will try to work on it, but my cover will get low views, which may deter me from even considering the idea of arranging it...

[@edfrees]

@@AntoniusTertius Well let's be realistic about it. You don't have that many views and subscribers compared to big channels that make money. The chances of having a video that suddenly gets millions of views are slim, because there are just too many creators on KZbin. You need an audience first, before you can think of having this as a fulltime job. It takes time.

@@edfrees Indeed, it takes time. I intend to record Norg theme first though ;) I'm unemployed, so it is my 'fulltime job' anyway, and if I get a job elsewhere, I won't have time to record other covers and arrangements, then the channel will never grow.
