Veiled in Black - Final Fantasy XV (Piano Collections)

[@samoyed7895]

I’ve been putting off learning this piece from the collections because to me it seems like the hardest by far - Ive played Somnus, Omnis Lacrima, and Stand Your Ground, but this one just seems soooo much harder because there’s just so many asynchronous rhythms I can’t imagine how long it’ll take to finally learn it! You make it seem easy! You’re so talented and dedicated - you get a standing ovation from me!

[@jhaifisch5676]

You deserve more subscribers for being able to play this piece. I can't even guess how much time it took to master it. Very talented. have my upvote and subscribtion.

[@LouisR56]

Amazing playing, this piece is really technical and virtuosic and you really kept it clear and powerful

[@purpleschala]

thank you so much, i really appreciate that!!!

[@pianogeekdan4621]

I'm speechless... Now I want to start practicing even more!

[@purpleschala]

hahaha thanks! =)

[@ruiruii96]

Welcome back!! Such badass playing

[@purpleschala]

Rui Ruii the Seal Pianist aw thank you Rui! ❤️❤️❤️

[@melchizedekpsj]

Wow! That was really challenging but you nailed it. I love how the theme of strife can be so well conveyed via the melody. Yoko Shimomura is just so amazing with her battle themes.

[@purpleschala]

Melchizedek Phuah Siow Jin she is isn’t she?? ❤️😀I just LOVE her so much! And thank you! It was a lot of work lol

[@melchizedekpsj]

purpleschala Yes, and let me say it again! Really appreciate your hard work and the beauty of the final outcome! 👍👍👍

[@komurmaldeb]

The fluidity with which you played the segment at 1:47 completely amazes me. I've been working on this piece for a while now and it *still* gives me issues. Three separate voices, one in triplets, and you can still pick out the melody on top!

[@purpleschala]

OH GOSH I PRACTICED THIS FOR JUST SOOOOOO SOOO MANY MONTHS. I think it was like 5-6? This one is so hard!! The layers and the voicing and the timing on some of those 3 against 4 passages, plus all that arpeggio bullshit at the end. Kudos to you for working on this one for so long!! Keep it up, it's worth it!!!

[@meow11358]

Wow just... amazing. You have SKILLS! Also love Final Fantasy 15

[@mass2293]

My son listens to your music for his bedtime. Been following you for years. Thank you for your work

[@purpleschala]

mass awwwww! That’s so awesome to hear omg ❤️guess I should play more soothing songs in that case haha!

[@mass2293]

That would be very much appreciated! He was excited that you responded lol

[@CarlosJunior-pu3up]

WOW, all I can say is WOW! Congrats! I would like to suggest, still on the piano collections, Relax and Reflect. My personal favorite... Thanks again for the amazing cover!

[@purpleschala]

carlos junior Thank you Carlos!! i'm working on that one!! :)

[@GojkoGojkovich77]

I didn't think anyone would have the guts to play this piece, but you killed it! I also see that it's at least humanly possible to play haha

[@purpleschala]

AHAHAHAHAHAHA yes it is definitely possible lol! takes a lot out of you though lol

[@miracle076]

You're amazing ❤ Waiting for more Fire Emblem themes, if you can❤

[@purpleschala]

Imperial Crown ah thank you! And most definitely! I finished Path of Radiance recently and have a few ideas for themes from that one ❤️

[@cf5914]

Its a pleasure to watch you play!

[@AngeloPittera]

I was searching a cover for this track for months. Thank you so much. Very impressive playing

[@purpleschala]

thank you very much, that means a lot! I worked very hard on this one hahaha

[@alexandermilligan8265]

2:54 I'm completely covered in goosebumps. You are amazing!!

[@purpleschala]

aw thank you!!! this was definitely a workout lol

[@raitofirion5557]

Holy heck. I'm so envious of your skill. Beautiful playing 😍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@purpleschala]

Raito Firion aww thank you so much! This one was a lot of work so I appreciate it!

[@leftymu]

Amazing cover of a great battle theme! Always loved the classically Shimomura sound of this song

[@purpleschala]

ahhh thank you !!!! same here. it's a brilliant piano arrangement but so incredibly challenging haha

[@anon2234]

Woah... The skill, the dexterity. Truly an inspiration to any aspiring student of piano.

[@purpleschala]

anon2234 aw thank you! It was a lot of practicing lol

[@aykil7776]

I wish I could see the sheet or the synthesia version ! Your interpretation sounds much better than the transcription !

[@Melchiorblade7]

Wow, really clean performance of a difficult piece! I haven't heard the piano collections version of this one before but its epic, and captures the battle theme well on piano.

[@purpleschala]

Melchiorblade7 ah thanks Melchior! :) and yeah it’s pretty badass isn’t it?! You should definitely give it a go!

[@noonereally4290]

My absolute favorite piece from this game. A beautiful rendition. Thanks!

[@purpleschala]

thank YOU! this is one of my favorite themes too!

[@amazinglazedonut]

Gurl this vid just turned me into greenschala, short for green with envy at purpleschala! Just kidding & love thy muzak lololol!!!1!1

[@music_3eat198]

[@zelkin32]

purpleschala I'm thankful for the pieces of art you offer us :) I'll just loop this one until the next one comes out 😊

[@wingadept8793]

It's good to hear your work. Sorry it's been awhile old friend. Awesome job as always!

[@purpleschala]

Wing Adept haha don’t apologize! I’m very sporadic here myself! Nice to hear from you buddy :) hope all has been well.

[@humist1]

Gives me goosebumps everytime ♥ Love your videos

[@purpleschala]

aww thanks man. that really means a lot

[@mulleralban4703]

Just checked randomly your channel and wow I wasn't ready for this x) seems that your are the only piano player on youtube who love Final Fantasy who has the courage to play it, I hope you're satisfied to achieve this one cuz it sounds so cool but crazy hard. Personally I'm happy playing Omnis Lacrima and other easiers from the books but I think I'll wait a moment before playing this one I'm not ready x)

[@purpleschala]

Muller Alban LMAO hopefully I won’t be the only one for long! I don’t blame anyone for not trying this one, it’s freaking crazy and annoying lol, but it’s my favorite arrangement out of the book and I had to learn it lol! I hope you try it one day!

[@sparrowdraws4587]

I'm speechless, this is amazing!

[@HunkyBananas]

I seriously enjoyed listening to you play ahhhhh!!!!

[@purpleschala]

Hunky Bananas CONRAD! You are the absolute best omg! Thank you for tuning into the stream tonight and feeling me on the ninja garden and repping the old school RPGs AHHHHH IT MADE ME SO HAPPY ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@HunkyBananas]

purpleschala yessss soon let's spaz out on more stuff like that too!!! Aaaahhh!!!!

[@MrCactusCookies]

[@purpleschala]

SaiSingsBass lol thanks man! And yeah the only way to circumvent page turns without memorizing lol

[@mariogonzalez8162]

That's crazy, guess FF haven't lost its touch at all (forgive me Uematsu sensei). Great performance ... also I noticed that audio has improved compared to some years ago x:

[@purpleschala]

lol thanks!! and yes i have moved up in the world hahahaha, i need to re-record some of my older stuff lol

[@JoanneMoo]

[@purpleschala]

Perovskite13 AHHHHH JOANNE YOU’RE TOO SWEET ❤️❤️❤️

[@Caliko]

WOW This is one impressive arrangement o_o Sounds epic, awesome playing And great to see an upload of yours! Even if it's just before another hiatus lol

[@purpleschala]

Caliko AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH SWEETIE! it’s not my arrangement actually, but it’s from the official piano collections! You should try it! :)

[@Caliko]

Ow this seems like it'd be a real challenge to play :o But if it's out of my comfort zone it should be good practice, right...?

[@nimabayat9758]

Unforgetable play thanks

[@Youngsuperman17]

Amazing talent!!!

[@zensema]

This is so damn good

[@purpleschala]

thank you so much!!! def one of the hardest arrangements I've ever done haha

[@crimsonraiza3633]

beautifully done!

[@purpleschala]

thanks!!!!! it was a lot of work hahaha

[@rach3master]

Well done! This piece is indeed quite challenging for a typical "Piano Collections" piece, especially when played at full tempo, but you pulled it off!

[@purpleschala]

rach3master THANK YOU SO MUCH! THAT MEANS A LOT COMING FROM YOU! ❤️so much slow metronome work gahhhhh lol. Do you plan on recording this one anytime in the future? You’d kill it for sure! :)

[@rach3master]

Haha thanks. I think eventually once I finish my NieR binge.

[@purpleschala]

rach3master lmao it's definitely hard to get out of NieR hell once you're in. I'm excited to see what you'll do with Bipolar Nightmare and Peaceful Sleep! :)

[@DuoBeard]

Omg yay an upload, I’ve been missing your arrangements ❤️❤️❤️

[@purpleschala]

haha thanks so much!!! this is not my arrangement though, it's from the official piano collections! =)

[@DuoBeard]

purpleschala - regardless, I’ve missed your playing :D

[@PianoGameKnight]

Good job on showing that song who is the boss around here XD Amazing technique as always!!

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHAHAHAHA not gonna lie this one almost owned me OTL thanks Jimmy!!!

[@TheBigOxUchia]

That was so awesome I literally grabbed for a sword that wasn't there.

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHA!!!! thank you, that's a huge compliment! =)

[@DrtadJambazian]

This looks very straining to play. Congratulations.

[@purpleschala]

LMAO YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN. it took ages to get comfortable with it hahaha

[@gbritaney]

Wonderful opening :)

[@purpleschala]

gbritaney ahhh thanks britaney ❤️❤️❤️

[@madmaxx4178]

great job

[@purpleschala]

Bullo Max thanks! ☺️

[@JohnnyPhamPiano]

Very nice!

[@GreenEvanJ]

Beautiful and your ending strike was metal as fuck, much appreciated! I’m wondering, do you feel like FFXV’s OST is better than the game itself?

[@purpleschala]

HAHAHA thanks dude!!!! AND OH MAN. HOW IS THAT EVEN A QUESTION. FFXV was....disappointing, but not surprising given the ten years of development hell behind it, it's only due to Tabata's genius that it came out even as well as it did. BUT SHIMOMURA IS LIFE. SHE WROTE THE MOST KICKASS OST FOR THIS GAME and perhaps MOST disappointing, it was underused/misused. So many incredible themes were only played once, or used in the most inappropriate sections, I was mad let me tell you. Thankfully this is not one of them hahahaha.

[@GreenEvanJ]

purpleschala Fuck yeah to Shimomura and damn haha valid point it’s not really a question is it it’s really the music that makes these games even the great ones like FF3/6 4 7 8 9 10 I mean fuck they wouldn’t be half as good without their soundtracks rather be blind than deaf hah anyway thanks a lot Schala be well

[@purpleschala]

Indrumnity 9,999 lmao darn tootin those are all the great FFs including Tactics!! Thanks again man, you too ❤️

[@GreenEvanJ]

purpleschala And Tactics! Hah forgive that slip... Keep it up, good night!

[@mariacasemyr]

Love this! Thanks 💕
