It is strange for me to think about how the world has changed in the span of working on this project. This time has certainly changed my playing and given me fresh inspiration towards a new love of arranging. And I cannot thank you enough for listening to my music and supporting my art. It means the world to me and has given me uplifting feelings at a time when those are hard to reach.

¡Wow!😮❤
Holy… moly… what a tribute… jeez… this is beautiful, what the actual fuck? I… am speechless
I really appreciate that you started with the beginning,well done! 🍻
i really see guitar as proof of God. As soon as the instrument seems bland and boring along comes another individual to pull heavenly sounds of it. almost anything can be played anywhere on the instrument. its insane how the law of music works. this is incredible. you’re a legend dude! thanks so much for this. I’m not in tears!
今まで聴いたFF音楽のギターアレンジとしては最高だと思う!
AaaAA que hermosa música, ff siempre a tenido unos temas impresionantes
super!
นึกถึงสมัยนั้นนั่งเล่นตอนเด็กๆไฟนอลเพลงเพราะทุกภาคเลย
It makes my heart swell and almost bring tears to my eyes.
Incredible arrangements of deeply emotional music. I’ve been listening to your videos for inspiration on learning these songs myself. I’ve already made it through a few and put together my own arrangements. Does you Patreon have tabs for these in Guitar Pro format? I could learn by listening but if I can support you while getting access to Guitar Pro tabs that sounds like a win-win for everyone. Thank you for making this!
I love your performance….It is fabulous!
I wish I could give this another thumbs up every time I listen through it.
Caramba amigo. Escutando isso voltei a minha infância. Que coisa mais linda. Pedrada! Você é um grande artista, o sentimento foi transmitido em sua música.Parabéns! Saudações brasileiras.
Beautiful. Lots of old memories playing FF come back.
@52:00, wow. The entire thing was incredible but I’m studying for a calc II final and had to stop and go check how the HECK is he doing the rapid picking and the bass notes.
The moment you want to like the video, but notice that the you from the past already did… I was awesome, I hope I read this in 5 years or so…. Hi to myself from the future.. you are still awesome!
ive never bought a classical guitar before, what brand etc should a guy look for?
Good
Can I pay for the tabs? I would give a lung for this <3
Thank you for all of the great work. I turned this on as background for my parents , still waiting for them to ask where it came from.
형 고마워
I was going back to my childhood and I wondered if I could play some of these on guitar, yup, I can now.
Thank You Very Much
One to be born,
From a dragon….
Love this video! Thank you for sharing your amazing performance and playing beautiful melodies!
From 🇯🇵
スゴ!とても繊細な音色だ
聴き入ってしまいました!
47歳です。こみ上げるものが有りすぎて、愛ある演奏に感謝しきれない。
美しくて、勇気が出てくる
4:05 mi favorita y 58:39❤❤
Worth the 300 sfairs in ff7 remake
I’d love to play the Balamb theme 😢❤. You played Zanarkland so beautiful I shed a tear.
🥲
Not the most impressive but Cosmos Canyon… Holy shit you blew my heart. Thanks for this one and all others masterpieces. Incredible work
Beauty. Overwhelming beauty. That is all that needs to be said. The beauty in the music, and the feeling in that handsome face of yours. I hope it isn’t too much to pay you that compliment. Yours is a soul that is far too beautiful for words to express Mr. Oeth. Thank you for sharing a part of yourself with us here on Youtube.
Ur so freaking good at this. I love this
Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves (Final Fantasy X-2) is a core memory
beautifully well done
Excellent choice of soundtracks, just realizing how much ff4-5 ost fits well on guitar
Man, that intro to ff is so iconic. The guitar, 👍 👍 👍
The nostalgia! I want to play so my video games so bad!
Magnificent!
This makes me so sad for some reason
John, been really blessed by your talent,
Just finished the first 3 final fantasy nes games with my brother, I will be praying for your channel, God bless you 🙏❤️
Magic ♥
what a list & mood!!~~bb
Hello John! When I’m working or even when I just need to relax, I come daily listening to your exciting versions of the tracks from this game that I admire so much and have good emotional memories. Your work is beautiful, inspiring! You manage to touch our hearts and ward off negativity. Art heals, believe me!
Who is disliking something like this? I would do it to troll someone because internet. But 600 dislikes. That’s… people have broken souls
I’ can’t believer you skipped FFXI ;.;
Edit: NEVERMIND~! There’s a collection #2 😀 Thank you!
I love this, cloud, squal, zidane nostalgic
Thank you for these wonderful videos.
Yeah their you are you beautiful bastard. You have inspired me buddy. Even if it’s just on bass. I’m dedicated to learning a few final fantasy songs.
10 seconds in and I absolutely love this already! You have been crit by nostalgia for 10 billion damage.
Dude looks so happy playing Jesse theme 🙂
Bravo!
Hearing these on guitar gives them all such awesome, relaxing, final fantasy 15 vibes. I can imagine Noctis and friends chillin at a campsite or at the house at Cape Caem or at a hotel in Lestallum with this stuff playing in the background
Man, not having the best week so far, needed some of that comfort music from my childhood while working. The very first theme already brought a tear to my eye.
Alomost 40 and these FF tracks still give me goosebumps… Acoustic makes ’em even more spoony!! ;D Final Fantasy for life…
28:07 Great!
Kupó!
Getting into the second half of FFVI, find Setzer’s old airship, “Searching for Friends” starts to play as the airship comes up from the ocean and starts to fly. Such a great moment in FF gaming!
I know it’s easy to get lost in the spectacle of the newer FF’s, but don’t sell the old 2D ones short. There are some absolute gems in there.
Thanks for the great guitar playing!
omg, i can humm most of these songs
Fantastic video and masterfully played. Thank you.
chaos temple ❤🔥
One of the best musicians on Youtube!
Can I find all the final fantasy tabs in your patreon? Are they sold separately or free for subscribers? Thanks.
Man, i’ve became addicted to your guitar covers, you are always on the background while i work or chill at home.
to me sometimes they sound even better than the originals haha, great work mate, this is pure art and an awesome tribute to all those games, i salute ya
Always going to cry at Aerith’s Theme
I’m genuinely speechless I can’t even put into words how magical and beautiful these sound
You are an outstanding guitar player. I wish I could play classical as well as you. I’ve never heard someone make the guitar sound so much like a piano before. Beautiful playing. Bravo!
Amazing stuff. Nostalgic ❤
미쳤네 넘 좋다
bro balamb garden……
Truly amazing! Thank you for playing this music, this really help relieved my emotions out.
Well done!
So many emotions rushing through. Ty Final Fantasy for being a part of my life.
John, your work here is incredible! I love having it on in the background as I write. Great stuff!
This is staggeringly beautiful. Thanks so much for this.
You are definitely my goal as a guitarist i would love to be able to chill and play video game anime guitar for hour
Aeriths Theme into Those who fight blew my mind
39:42 – those who fight – this was an awesome rendition, very rockin’
Very talented. I really enjoyed your wonderful guitar play, thanks. You’ve got yourself another subscriber 😘
謝謝!
Incredible! You’ve been added to my work-from-home playlist 😀
What a f*ck*ng monster. The fluidity of his playstyle almost brings a tear to my eyes 🎉
Perfect job. Congrats
For those who Fight is an awesome guitar attempt. That’s a difficult one; nice job! I was rocking out and coding to it
John, You are brilliant! The vibrations you make are pure bliss. Thanks! 😊
Just needed to pop in and say thanks for helping me put my 2 year old to sleep! Nothing was working, but then we laid down together and watched this and he was out in 5 minutes! So he sleeps while I listen to the soundtrack of my childhood 😊
What I love about this whole collection is the satisfaction and clear joy you have in playing the music from FF. Just makes it even better.
I wish I can find a guitar that sound this good that doesnt cost 8k
What kind of guitar is this ? Like brand and model
This makes me want to learn how to play guitar just for these songs.
i never get bored to listen to all these BEAUTIFUL tunes by Nobuo and made even more beautiful by John Oeth
I haven’t really played final fantasy but the music is really great and you played very beautifully in the guitar
This is absolutely incredible brother. Loved watching the care and joy in each performance. Do you sell your arrangements as sheets or tabs anywhere I can buy to support you?
Hello Sir, smokaloke told us about your music. thanks.. i dont know what to say, but thanks.
this is heaven
thank you :’)
This is the best thing I’ve seen on the internet this year.
How many total takes? 😛
I love your rendition of the day will come! It sounds like what I heard in my head back when I first played FFV.
I love how this man makes love to his guitar. Look at his face!!! 😍😍
🥲
wow what the fuck this is amazing
It’s all absurdly good, but Melodies of Life transcended.
Wow ! you got me crying 🥲thank you so much for the work you’ve done, thank you for the dedication you put into this creation. playing video game songs is such a specific nerd thing. I’ve always felt like a rejected nerd, being bullied at school, and descovering FF world really helped me to enjoy life anyway… i survived these hard times, now I got older and i’m proud of being a nerd, because it takes courage. the same courage that you took to build up this whole album. This is the most beautiful tribute to all FF fans ! I want to hug you 🤩😁
Perfect … thank you so much John !! Amazing playing and music ! Cheers from France 🇫🇷
I listen to this while doing schoolwork at least 3x a week. thank you.
Never knew some of the earlier Final Fantsy music was this good. My first FF games was FF7 and loved every track until FF10 After the tenth game i felt like the music got consistenty worse. And never eclkpsed tneir earlier compositions.
Thanks John for calming our hearts with these beautifully played songs.
i love your songs, all are amazing, remind me when I’m still young playing ff games in playstation
holy shit . no need to buy me dinner 😀
Hey brother so amazing thank you ~ I was wondering are these the exact arrangements from the books you can purchase on amazon? Or have you added your own interpretations? Thank you! I would love these arrangements, just wanna make sure before I buy the books 🙂 thank you!
I would definitely pay for the tabs T.T
Where can I see or buy these guitar tabs or sheets?
Please, I need play these songs for my son.
Oh man that Zanarkand one was amazing, brought back memories… Great work!
i felt my youth again, thanks dude
To the person reading this, Good Luck! Don’t stress, everything will be fine. No matter what difficulty you are facing right now, you can overcome it! You are strong and brave.
Awesome cover!!!
harp is amazing, and now i found this guitar video…yes!
Wow, you’re a great musician.
🖤🤍
Dude, please do Skyrim
Always listening, keep it up, John!
I made such progress thanks to you and your work, keep it lit & bless you ~
Ffvi searching for friends made my hairs stand up. Took me straight back to my childhood
Return to Zanarkand is such a beautiful song and you did an amazing job
if i could play guitar like this, my girlfriend wouldn’t’ve left me.
Legendary soundtracks
Very nice, sir, very nice.
Thank for championing the spirit of Final Fantasy through beautiful guitar music.
Every collection I find will be played as I return to Vana’Diel to continue my 20+ year joyful journey as a Monk as well as my 35+ years as a Final Fantasy Fanatic. Known notoriously for unleashing 100 Fists on Fafnir and wiping the zone of all competition while WE STOOD TALL AND ACHIEVED VICTORY! Black Belt obtained that day. FTW. Pandemonium: Caffeine. Nuff said. G.B.T. approved. Thank you once again John for helping to bring up these memories and more.
On my trip starting the week with this masterpiece . Reaching to Cosmo Canyon you realize how good is this game and how good is the music . Legend . Congratulations and thanks for bringing us your job to the community .
Love this so much. brings all those memories back. Thank you
Listening, listening and listening. Great music, very modern and yet full of tenderness; wonderful technique!!!
I need a physical release of this.
wonderful epoca
Amazing collection and beautifully played
Thank you just for this awesome music. I learned so much by playing your stuff and listening. Such an Inspiration. I switched from just steel string to classical because of you!
One of the best quality things ive ever seen and heard!
Isn’t the arpeggio missing some notes? Or is this a different version? Not hating just asking. (I mean in the Prelude at the beginning)
If you listen at 0.75 speed, you get to listen for even longer! ❤❤
At one point I thought I was talented at the guitar, and then I saw this 🙂 excellent playing here.
i like this so much. i remember coming across this video last year and i still listen to this til now. ❤
Thank you for this. Final Fantasy holds such a special place in my heart. Bookmarked and shared.
Awesome love this!!
Bravo! Brilliant! Didn’t listen to all of it as I haven’t played all the games. But I shivered at your FFVI renditions <3
58:40 eyes on me. makes me so well…
Thanks from Brazil!!
second like
Hearing your rendition, I realize that the Final Fantasy theme is “Dust in the Wind” by Kansas.
Awesome. Thank you so much. 😀
Just overwhelmingly beautiful. Thank you so much.
Brother, your guitar sound is the cleanest I remember hearing, impressive…thank you for providing nostalgia with such quality
Cosmo Canyon was the best here in my opinion.
Thanks for playing these dude!
You got tabs for this shit?! GAWT DAMN! Well done, sir!
この人の弾いた曲、CDで売ってたら買いたい!
iTunes Storeで売ってたら最高なんだけどな〜!
If the songs he played were on sale on CD, I would buy them!
It would be great if it was sold on the iTunes Store!
thank you for improving my studies’ hours in a higher level
please release LP vinyl disc ver. Of these recordings, please.
Your music on your channel enhances my enjoyment of life. Thank you for creating and sharing.
amazing… thank you for this!
incredible skills! congratulations for your talent!
playing Prelude with that speed and detail sounds insanely hard… but watching… he makes it look effortless and zen-like. WOW
You are level 99 with 9999 max stats
I really enjoyed this. Memory of Lightwaves sounds really good played like this.
Some music we used to hear repeatedly alots while farming some specìfic item(s). The whole memory brings back and makes us so nostalgic. This just shows how addictive Final Fantasy series were meant to each of us. This playlist is sooo chill to hear. I too, can’t thank you enough, John Oeth, for making this beautiful collection of arrangements and performed so perfectly.. And also big thanks to SquareEnix team for making these legendary OSTs.
Thank you so much. I Love this🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Disliked for skipping over FFXI and all its amazing compositions.
Great stuff, otherwise. Thank you for uploading.
Love all of them, but it gets me specially the heartwarming gentleness you put into TIfa’s theme. You have a very touching way of playing, proves there is a lot of heart in video game music.
I want to +1000 like this… very well done!
Holy cow this is soo good! The FF1 Matoya’s Cave is one of my all time favorites in the series.
You can see in his face the same emotions that I feel when i hear these melodies.
He plays songs you didn’t even know you forgot about. He’s playing nearly my entire childhood on a piece of wood. <3
❤🌹amazing
Needs at least a song from XI and XIV to be perfect. Otherwise, this is a pretty good representative collection.
I think I’m in love with you.
Brilliant playing! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the memories! You’re awesome!
your covers are the reason Im able to get through college rn 🙂
Great playing and video man
I’m back here again. Haha. I needed some solace from the clamor and chaos from the media and world.
Mr. Oeth what happened to this collection for apple music/itunes? i cannot buy it on iTunes?
Pure FF14 the first minutes
アコースティックギターのみで凄い。
もうギター上手いお兄ちゃんがファイナルファンタジーや!!
Acoustic guitar only and awesome.
Niceguy brother who is already a good guitar player is a final fantasy!
Where can I buy this guitar collection? The physical copy? I want a physical copy!!!!
Time in a bottle cover music the nearly 30 years of pure memories and happiness before millenium sun. Lets go back 7 8 9
Me from 2023 says thank you from the you of 2020. Sorry it took me so long to notice you! ❤
26:16 my childhood starts here 🥰
This is so impressive I don’t know if I can achieve this covers in my life. These song are part of me especially FF 8!!!!! Gives me happiness….
got frisson from the beginning intro
asu
Bravo ! from Japan.
John, I’m truly baffled by how insanely clean your playing is. In the entire 110 minutes that this video lasts there’s hardly one shoddy note in there. A truly beautiful testament to how well thought out and written this music is. My deepest respect and thank you for these amazing renditions.
Of all the amazing music in this collection, I think Matoya’s Cave stands out as one that’s better than it has any right to be. It’s the theme an area you go to twice for no more than a handful of minutes, but has somehow managed to cement itself in my mind as one of the best themes in the series.
Rose of May is probably also be my favorite character theme in the series.
So thank you for the gorgeous renditions of this amazing music!
26:09 has my favorite track in the entire series. There’s something about Terra’s Theme that touches a variety of emotions.
Fisherman’s Horizon 🥹
Thank you for the nice rhymes. From Vietnam!🥰
(´-ω-`)))コックリコックリ。。
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is back.
An-chumas agus an-áilleacht ann!!
FFの吟遊詩人はあなたに決定!w
Easy to listen, good for relaxing, studying or ambience music. Very versatile.
so beautiful
Just WOW!!!
35:34 💔
I first heard the track “The Place I’ll Return to Someday” (1:04:07) randomly when it came on in my Spotify algorithm. It was a organ/woodwind cover whose album artwork looked like an ancient bust that would be in a church from long ago. I just assumed it was some old piece that had been written as a medieval folk hymn or something along those lines. I then heard your cover, John, and was absolutely flabbergasted as to how that song could be on a Final Fantasy game. I looked it up and surely enough, that song WAS written for a Final Fantasy game. That song sounds like it absolutely should’ve been written in the 12th century. I’m in love with that track so dang much
Such an ending! awesome arrangements. Hail to Yoko Shimomura <3
Thank you so much for this. I just started playing guitar to spend more time with my father (who has been playing his whole life). You motivate me to keep going because you play all of the songs I love at a level I can only dream of ever reaching.
Wish I could play like this, been playing guitar a long time
This is so soothing, thanks for uploading this !!
They don’t make this kind of music anymore.
I how I wish I could go back in time and play those games again.
Hey John, im a 2year beginner in guitar and i finaly want to buy a luthier made guitar, could you advice me on a good luthier ? I have a budget of 5000 for an instrument
Howdy – does anyone know the tuning for Ahead On Our Way?
THANK YOU
A.W.E.S.O.M.E
I started crying so much, it brought me back to my childhood and the many good memories I had of the games. You play so wonderfully, thank you very much! ♥
it is nice your face expression with the music!
Ia escrever em inglês, mas o tanto que eu sinto ao escutar isso, não dá não. Isso é incrível demais, não importa a língua que eu escreva, não haverá palavras
Just AMAZING!!!
amazing
+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 It is so nice to hear the old theme of FF perfectly played at the guitar. THANK YOUUU
Best “Eyes on Me” rendition I’ve ever heard. Life goal: to play this piece at my daughters wedding. Okay, i’ll stop commenting now, sorry. 🙂
fell asleep to crime documentations, woke up to this. i am not complaining ❤
I wish i could give this more than 1 like! Absolutely fabulous 👌
Amazing!
This is so beautiful. The way you weave each instrument in and back out as other’s notable moments occur so seamlessly is breathtaking.
Can I buy sheet music of your arrangements?
Great work! Has Nobuo Uematsu seen/heard these performances ? Would be interested to know his reaction
Wow, how have I not come across this wonderful video?!Thank you for sharing your talents with the world.
I really should pay for this man to listen to his performance in front of him. I definitely will cry so hard. It is so beautiful. Love from Japan.
Incredible !!!!!!!!!!!!!
that ff7 main theme flashes me back to 1998 thank you for the beautiful guitar cover
marry me please XD
When i hear this FF songs i always remember all those grinding times😂😂
Tifa’s Theme and Ahead On Our Way hits the nostalgia heart strings like none other.
なんてキレイな音‥‥癒しそのもの。ギター1本でベースも表現されてるのが凄いです‼️ それぞれの曲の中の個人的に好きな音もちゃんと聴こえて来て感動です😭
i luv it

This is so beautiful. Thanks for creating and sharing.
Wow this is quite amazing. You got serious skills. Right on

I want to jam with this guy, he is goals for real!! Keep it up man

This is one of the most wonderfull files in the whole Internet.
ขอขอบคุณ
ฟังแล้วคิดถึงตอนเด็กๆ ครับ โดยเฉพาะไฟนอลแฟนตาซี 8 ชอบมาก และขอบคุณครับ
That Theme of Love tho 👍
❤
I listen to this at work because it is just so calming. I get to imagine that I am playing the game as I work. It alleviates so much stress.
This is so incredibly calming and soothing to work with. Thanks for this!
Damn it so many memories. I feel so sad for the people who have not grown up with Final Fantasy. An entire generation owes memories to these songs. Thank you for bringing us back. The new FF is no good btw
people evolved in Africa, from one common ancestor, a couple hundred thousand yrs ago Over time, some people walked out of Africa and spread across the world. The branches of the family that spent thousands of years in colder places without a lot of sun … eventually they lost much of their melanin and turned a bunch of different shades, depending on the conditions where they were.
… the king of Portugal had hired Zurara to write a biography of the king’s uncle – Infante Henrique … better known as Prince Henry the Navigator -1st major to exclusively enslave & trade continental
Writing in 1453, Zurara chronicles & glorifies Prince Henry’s voyage, a decade before. In describing resulting slave auction back in Portugal, in 1444…Zurara lumped together different-looking captives
So Zurara portrayed slavery as an improvement over freedom in Africa, where, he wrote, “They lived like beasts.” They “had no understanding of good, but only knew how to live in bestial sloth.”
Zurara’s writings were widely circulated among the elite in Portugal…& their ideas about continental Africans…led the way as human trade expanded among west Asian countries like Spain France & England
slave traders commissioned the invention of this sort of codified racist idea, of Black people and implicitly, then, on the other hand, of White people – out of pink-beige west Asian Africans – in usa
In 1682 … the first legislative body in colonial America The Virginia House of Burgesses passed a law limiting citizenship to Europeans – making all non-Europeans – “Negroes…”aka in English “BLACKS” as the law put it – quote, “slaves to all intents and purposes.” the 1682 law included the first documented use in the English-speaking colonies of the word “white” [vs English European or Christian] to describe [brown to lightest pink-beige west Asian Africans aka Europeans] considered full citizens. the defamation against [descendants of mt-MRCA] darkest brown to lightest pink-beige “black” is FUNdamental to Racism.
Racism is racial prejudice that has been incorporated into the activities and procedures of major institutions, corporations, social systems (such as those related to housing, education, and health), and other arenas of major social activity (such as politics, the media, finance, and banking) Racism serves both to discriminate against ethnic minorities and to maintain advantages and benefits for west Asian Africans colonial government invented “White” Americans mt-MRCA
~ descendants of mt-MRCA — darkest brown to lightest pink-beige

Streets of Rabanastre is amazing. Love that song. Fits perfectly for a solo piece. This compilation has been on repeat for a few days now. Love it.
That was splendid. I had such good nostalgic time listening. Thank you só much
The perfect music to sleep my little daughter all night, thx so much bro for your magic music.
you like music🎉
So beautiful 🙂
Loving all that I’ve listened to so far, but Vamo’ alla Flamenco is just PERFECTION. Thank you so much for these performances!
Awesome
You have my thanks and gratitude
Perfection thank you. Uematsu the genius and the prodigy playing his music. I cant believe u can perform these intricate flows of picking and its simply emotional. Especially as a FF fan and video game collector.
Didn’t know how many of these songs sounds perfect on guitar! Thanks for all these covers
Thank you John!
can this be forever
Those who fight has to be my favorite by far! Thank you
I’m about to turn 20 and I’m already feeling old and nostalgic D:
Videos like this inspired me to pick up the guitar, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Keep up the good work!
I’m crying. It brings back good childhood memories playing my Final Fantasy VIII and IX. Those good ‘ol days.^^
FF1stからリアタイで体験した世代には懐かしい。癒されます。
Been using this to soothe my baby to sleep at night. It calms him down as soon as he hears it. Absolutely love how beautifully you play. Perfectly nostalgic~ ❤️
dude you are amazing, you put sooo much emotion in the song with how you play the notes. i dont know any of the terms with it but it gives it such a warmth.
Love that title screen music: badass arpeggios AND scales in your first arrangement! Well done, John! You did a great job of putting emotion into all of these pieces.
Love this. Thank you so much.😍😍😍😍
Beautiful! Brings back so many wonderful memories. Love listening to you in the background as I work.
I love the NES music in the beginning the best… for me it has the most nostalgia. You did so amazing on all of these pieces! Did you learn from sheet music or ear? Fantastic!
I like the final fantasy game
Love it and I didn`t even play the game
Fantastic. How’d you learn this? Any tabs?
Wow! Amazing video I can’t believe the amount of hard work that must have gone into it! ❤️
From FFVII to X is my whole teenage years wrapped up into music. Thank you for this.
Loving the resemblance of the Prelude to the 2nd Villa Lobos Etude. Every time I hear that Lobos Etude, I instantly think of the FF Prelude.
To Zanarkand gotta be one of top ten most beautiful melodies written.
It was perfect but what happened to XIV??
Oh, first time I see a full on guitar collection for FF I think! Love it! Any chance the sheet music for the arrangements are/will be made available or sold somewhere? Thanks a lot and congratulations for the fantastic work!
‘kn Oeth! This is fantastic! G’day from Australia
This is amazing and you deserve all the praise you get heree
outstanding work ! you have tremendous talent sir. well played 😀
fantastic
Awesome work, specially on FF VIII’s pieces
Great work. Love every minute of this.
VERY GOOD CHOICE!
28:00 “Searching for friends” from FFVI make me cry.
Thanks for your video.😃
Came around to FFX Suteki Da Ne and got goosebumps all over. Can’t be helped when it’s played with such elegance.
Love it so much
Hermosos tonos que alegran un día pálido de invierno… saludos desde Chile
I want to say something smart but, i don’t have the words. Everything is perfect in these videos of yours, the softness or the energy, the filming, the pieces (of course), the guitarist himself is well presented, your movements are so fluid… Thanks for all of this.
And thank you for “Kiss me goodbye”
Wow, why I saw this just 2 years later? What a pleasure, congrats for your incredible skills.
Straight fire bro!
“The Place I’ll Return To Someday” is just absolute perfection! Thank you so much for this collection
you’re incredibly talented. i was just about to comment how i cant wait to hear your covers of FF16 when i noticed that you already did three tracks of the latest game! keep the up the great work, it’s very enjoyable! 💚💚
So many good memories. Thanks for this.
If there is a heaven, this is probably how some of the music sounds like there lol 😊.
had to skip straight to To Zanarkand, so gorgeous!
Have never played these games but this music is transcendent. The riff for eternity: memory of lightwaves at 1:28:43 is just beautiful. Thanks for uploading your playing is awesome man!!
Amazing!!! It’s wonderful to hear some of the greatest music from the past, it brings a lot of nostalgia.
I love the slightly lower tempo on To Zanarkand. And the use of harmonics overall throughout the video. Amazing job. Listening to this video has brought a lot of nostalgia. Thank you for this tribute.
goosey bumpies. beautiful performed my brother!
Youtube algorithm has landed me here and I fell in ❤ with this music.
His channel and videos are so underrated. Dont know about the Final fantasy. But the music and his skills are awesome.❤
The moment it hit Melodies of Life, I hit by the nostalgia truck. That’s my favorite, I’m a sucker for Zidane and Sarah… Thank you
I feel like I’m on a plane, flying over the ocean, at night, with the lights off and everyone else is sleeping.
最高です☺️
nice…
I can listen to this the whole day. Thank you for this masterpiece!
I wish you could do the full arpeggios for the prelude.
Why are there any dislikes on this? People are stupid.
i luv it
I always thought chaos temple theme was more romantic than anything any evil or scary.
On nylon guitar, it’s a hit ballad.
Would love the tablatures for this ,this arrangements are basically perfect and should be played more ❤️🙌🏼
Thx a lot !!
Dude you’re the best.
now do it all again except every song is a duet with you on guitar and someone else on piccolo
Is it possible to buy these arrangements as a stand alone sheet music collection?
It’s very comfortable for preparing final exam🥺 luv u so much
Please cover Wild Arms ps1 soundtrack ❤
Love the music keep it coming
It’s weird, when I was younger the prelude was nothing special to me. Definitely not one of my favorite songs, and never lingered on any title screens to hear it. Now that I’m older with 15+ titles of memories? Straight shivers.
Does anyone know where/if it’s possible to get a tab of the Eyes on Me (Final Fantasy VIII) arr. by Minamizawa*? It speaks to my soul.
The guitar is an instrument that truly speaks to the soul, as this video shows.
you are a legend
สุดยอด เพลงเข้าถ้ำกบ ชอบจัง
Fantastic.😊
Game music is really underrated. these music should be passed down to the next generation.
素晴らしいギターと選曲🎸仕事中、キャンプ中にいつも聞かせてもらってます。ありがとう😊
8のシンプルなんだけど綺麗な音楽が温かみのあるギターで演奏されることで更にグッと心に来ました
歳を重ねたのかあの頃はただちょっと寂しくなる落ち着く大好きな曲だったのが望郷というかなんていうのか
もう戻れないあの頃の故郷を思うようなそんな気持ちまでプラスされて余計涙腺に来ました
演奏してくださってありがとうございます
searching for friends 28:00 ❤❤❤
Which FF 1 character class would you be, John?
This entire compilation is absolutely gorgeous and i will admit that Aerith’s theme made me cry. So beautiful, thank you for this ❤❤
Dude you fucking crushed it.🎉
You deserve all the recognition. Thank you so much for your contribution to FF music!
hermosa melodia
Bro , you are amazing…<3
This is great! Thanks for learning these songs, and sharing them with us all.
13:20 love
Esta canción ya poseía una carga emocional bastante importante, pero con tu interpretación senti como jugabas con la interpretación, cierta diversión y disfrute, eso realmente me hizo conectar de una forma muy distinta en este lugar común. Te lo agradezco, veo que tienes de CC, animo y ojalá sigas con tu canal.❤
Where to got sheets though. at least for that town theme
살아있는 파판의 음유시인이다! 유튭 알고리즘아 만나게 해줘서 고마워!
Is Liberti Fatali possible on the guitar?
Balamb Garden is very nostalgic
very nice
39:42 This theme will never get old for me. God it’s so good on classical guitar
Been listening to this for an hour while working. Crazy commitment, skill, and passion! Thanks for giving us a place in cyberspace to focus
👍
You’re a legend mate!
大好きな曲ばかりで最高です!
This is so calming thanks 🥰
I listen to these everyday <33 As a pianist I'd say that you really have a good taste in music
Wow! Touched me in places I didn’t know where there. I am not sure if I feel joy, or broken hearted. Either way thank you.
The boss music! Started dancing in my chair at work when this came on! Yay!!
Very Nice and superb collection of Final Fantasy. subscribed and liked this. Hoping for more classic game in your collection set.
Your cover of Lenna’s theme from FFV was absolutely beautiful
Hey John, is the sheet music for all of these included in your Patreon? I’d love to give some of them a go since I’ve been listening to them for 2 days straight now. Thank you for the awesome arrangements!
I’ve lost count of how many times i came back to this video already
This was absolutely wonderful! What a masterpiece. Thank you for this…
Despite having always loved videos games and their soundtracks, I somehow completely missed the FF franchise altogether. Your brilliant performance has made my life at last complete.
Chaos Temple My favorite <3
This song touches my heart every single time.
This is my first time listening to this Master of the Acoustic guitar. I’m in awe. I will look for his CD’s in Barnes & Noble (since I’m not into this “Technical world).
Thank you for such beautiful melodies.
Love to read my History books with this kind of background music.
Cosmo Canyon on acoustic guitar has a very appropriate Western vibe.
Great performances; much loved
At first i was like…. I dont like it….. But after like 40 seconds.. I love it.
Keep up the fun ok?
I love FF as much as you do <3
Thank you~ I really like the pace of your covers. The speed is perfect for relaxing.
정말 멋집니다 ^^
Great playlist…. like REALLY!!! 🤩😍🥰
It’s amazing to hear all of these old 8-bit tracks come to life on a classical guitar. Thank you for all of the hard work you put in to this, bravo!!!
35:34 That’s why you are here.
Fucking brilliant
amazing
Lovely, its really good !
Tonight i will sleep like a baby. Thanks <3
i really enjoyed FH theme, almost like the original 😀
Oye muchas gracias, tus interpretaciones son un arrullo y un consuelo y un aliento para el alma.
Cosmo Canyon FTW!
I could recognize Vamoalla Flamenco 💃 within the first few notes 🎶
I think you got my dad’s approval, because he just asked who you were.
There are people who play guitar, there’s junkies who make sound with their guitar, then there’s John Oeth a professional guitarist. John this collection is nothing shy of what is perfection, beautiful mastery witnessed. Thank you for the nostalgic harmony of my youthhood memories.
Superbes reprises et magnifique technique je ne m’en lasse pas. En tant que grande fan des jeux et de guitare je retrouve toute la nostalgie de mon enfance. Et mon bébé qui vient de naître adore ses nouvelles berceuses pour notre plus grand bonheur 😊 Salutations de France et continuez de nous faire rêver
Wow that part at 1:20:45!! How do you even do that?? I can do like 8 notes that way. I didn’t know you could do so much more!
Holy smokes this is good
Each pluck is a revisit to a time where I feel there was much less chaos. I hope to reach a place that has music like this in the next life….Oh no, I have to battle too!?
Beautiful guitar playing. I’m not familiar with these songs but I am with FF. Either way this is nice to listen to late at night after work. 👍
The FF1 town theme is so peaceful and tranquil, just reminds me of being a child watching my older brother play the game. Simpler times
Your to Zarnakand is nearly perfect. Yu Yevon bless you <3
Salut Feuer Too bad TTA is over
17:33 I’m sorry I thought this was air hostess by busted 😅
[@
where to download the partiture sheet ?
The best.
Amazing! This is what I wanted! Thank you so much!!!
John i am on Deezer… would have liked to send a one off 1gbp but patreon doesnt allow donations. your music is great, happy youtube threw this at me today. thankyou so much.
Nothing from ffxi?
This lick always been accompanying me during me doing codes 😌 very relaxed and chill
Wooooow!
Okay just sayin, the right hand control that you exhibit here… is absolutely next level!
That particular guitar has this tonality that goes so well with your coodination, it sings!
Great job and all the Brightest of Blessings on you and yours friend 🙂
I mean, Balamb garden. Wow. Thank you for creating this video. Food for the soul.
You are are beautiful, as a man and a musician. Thank you for sharing this gift.
splendid! mesmerizing and unique thanks for playing these soundtracks.
Omg I accidentally hit thumbs down, IGNORE THAT!!
Found my new favorite study music channel 🙂
Saying it’s Gorgeous I wouldn’t say nothing! It’s incredible! It back me into the past time when everything is Pure Life, when everything around is like a fairytale! Thank you for this gift to feel I am still alive and now I can make true this fairytale in my life and life of my children.
impresionante
My god. When to zenarkand starts just thought: listen to my story… Sooo nostalgic
i;m nursing a flu today and this is my aural medication
Absolutely beautiful! And I still play Final Fantasy today. Thank you for these wonderful videos ❤
You’re like… the best ever man, goat for real, love it
The guitar literally sings. Amazing.
Ffix the place I’ll return to someday is such a great final fantasy song.
This is the best companion during study sessions, thank you so much.
54:49 Breezyが本物そのまま👏
I cried with no reason when Eyes on me played
cool. Cosmo canyon that.. hits the spot
This is beautiful. Thank you for the upload!
wow
best memory of the song and my love game . thank you
Thanks I appreciate your work!
The technical skill here outstrips 95% of pop musicians.
OMG, everythings so beautifull! But Searching for friends gave my whole body chills!
I am just in love of these guy! Love to be in love with someone how do this with his hands!
I listen to this like every single day. I love it so much. Your guitar playing has inspired me so deeply. I will become a guitarist.
This background music is very suitable for desk work.
Every song on here is killer and you show excellent technique and ability throughout. With that said, can we take a second to talk about how hard Cosmo Canyon stomps?
Beautiful.. 🥲
Thank you, I’m studying biology for this
Such a handsome man putting me to sleep. It reminds me a lot of the John Dowland works.
This is so enjoyable. Thank you for sharing!
GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!
Dios santo, gracias por tan hermosa interpretación
I have no words to describe how amazing you are
Do you know where I can get the notes for all the songs ?
Final fantasy VI, Terra’s theme. Hits me every time, the feeling that something big was coming when you watched those Mechs walking in the snow during the opening credit.
There must be a country where Prologue is the national Anthem. I wanna live there..
Any tab for these songs?????
Where I can buy this beautiful music? It’s an incredible work!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
epic
1:16:37 <3
I wanna learn how to play guitar like you do!
変なアレンジが多い中、子の方は原曲重視で、盛り上がるメロディーも忠実に再現しており、素晴らしい。
I’ve tried three times now and I can’t get through the cosmo canyon theme without something getting in my eyes. Just beautiful.
this is my conformzone
Why does the world have to be so cruel? I can’t explain my emotions right now. Asking myself, why can’t we be just kids forever? 🙁 Where life is filled with Mom’s warmth and love.
ff11 melody pls
wonderful collection, pure joy to listen to, thank you very much ^ ^ FF8was among my very first video games so very long time ago and sice then FF music is special to me, you perform it so very gentle and beautiful!
“Those who fight” from FFVII sounds so heavy! Really Nice!
Playing that intro / main theme like a boss. 😎
-Fellow guitar player
Very good, sir. 👍
❤️
i’m Here know, remember how happy I was during my childhood
素晴らしい🎉
📯🎼🎵🎶🎤🎷🪗🎸🎹🎺🎻🪕🥁🪘
This is my favorite playlist from your collection John! =)
Funny to say it, there’s been a few comments about our loved ones passing and not being able to come to terms. My father passed a few days ago, and I couldn’t shed the emotions until I heard this medley.
Thank you so much, man. It’s a beautiful piece of music.
lol
まさに、吟遊詩人
j’en ai une larme a l’oeil tellement que tu gère !

Thank you for these wonderful moments ! Full of nostalgy (and some tears). You play all these music so well !
FF2の曲があってうれしい😸

My ears are filled with happiness
I love it
OMG It’s all so beautiful!
simplemente GENIAL
Listen to my story…
This may be our last chance.
These games always had such fantastic musical compositions, which added to the greatness of the series (salute to Nobuo Uematsu). You’ve captured these arrangements masterfully with an impeccable performance, good sir. Thank you for sharing your wonderful talents.
My good sir, I’m here working on some web development code and had to stop and come here to give you this comment; This is beautiful, never stop! Good stuff man!
this video brings back all my memories from the past 25 years with Final Fantasy VII. So beautiful
Day 5 of listening to this on loop all day
Fantastic!
well done!
Just phenomenal. Not much else to say
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, not enough thank you’s for this.
Chaos Temple is one of FFs most underrated songs.
We got some weird tunings going on here.
good job bro !
Hearing all of this beautiful playing evokes so many emotions: happiness, peace, nostalgia, joy, sadness, comfort, excitement. Priceless. No money can buy the joy you have shared with the world. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Love the sound. Just wish you weren’t so stingy on the play time. I know it’s the same thing looping but still. (It’s Other side of the Mountain I’m salty about hahaha)
Thank you ❤❤❤
I feel bad I’ve never played this game or know the songs to enjoy this video as I should.
WOOF!!! 😳
Beautiful. Thank you so much!
https://youtu.be/54MDm3_ppEo
Rose of May Medieval Cover check this
how did you learn the songs?
are there tabs for this?
You did an amazing job on these I loved it.
I play your album to my son on Spotify when I’m rocking him to sleep. He loves it. He smiles every time he sees the album cover.
Thank you for the amazing covers.
Yo make me cry and cry and cry and laugh… Then I cry and I cry and I cry ani cry.
Love this. Thank you so much.
I love it
As a guitar player who only plays hendrix, stevie ray, van halen etc. I am now going to watch your youtube videos on re-wind for hours to learn how to play these songs like you are playing now. Thanks for the content and you rip man!
Thank God for the guitar and all of the great living artists, like John, in all music genres, who strove to learn to play guitar so well. RIP Paco, Ben Woods, Sabicas, Chet Atkins, Glen Campbell, and so many other greats.
日本の駅前でこのメドレー演奏したら20分後には100人に囲まれそう
Gorgeous! Absolutely breathtaking. I have to thank you because this have taken me for a 33 year trip, filled with chocobos running along into a long and beautiful prairie, lands of high kingdoms and exciting adventures! Thanks is kinda short for this
I had a smile on my face watching how much fun it seems John was having playing the chocobo theme
so beautiful !!!
Love it 😭
Nice collection. I love your music John! Thank you so much for posting these.
This is a super random game…. but have you ever heard of white knight chronicles series? Thetly have a really good soundtrack! bard-ish as well!! I loved playing White Knight Chrnoicles 1 and 2 haha ps3 sadly, but I hope they at least remaster it someday and put the composers of” WKC1″ and “I am Setsuna together!”
Aerith’s theme always brings me to tears…
… or better: is the sheet of Prelude (Final Fantasy Series) included in the patreon?
Hello! how do i get the sheet music from “Prelude (Final Fantasy Series)”?
Simply amazing ! :)) Great Job 😉
If YouTube was going down tomorrow and I had to pick one thing to save…
最高of最高
Beautiful. I love your interpretations!
Il fait de la guitare amixem maintenant?
So beautiful!!
Amazing sound and song selection! Congratulations for that collection!
This is true mastery of the instrument
Thank you for this amazing playlist, I am looking forward to listening to it every day !
Thanks!
This is phenomenal!
❤
You know… It’s amazing how many decades of memories you can pack into just barely 2 hours of music, isn’t it? I can remember vividly how I felt as a kid playing all these games; hearing all these themes — and how things were in my life at the time, good and bad.
Sometimes, these themes make me sad, sometimes not, usually un-related to the source material… So, thank you, for letting me relive these moments again; the acoustics’ really give it something special I can’t quite define adequately!
Listening to this, I wish I never stopped playing guitar… I play it at 0.75 and it calms my anxiety so fast… Thank you <3
You should have so many more subs than you have, great work seriously
During FF7’s “Those who fight further” track you could tell at the palm muted moments in the song John wants to headbang but has to keep that classical composure xD
Rate my Final Fantasy covers! https://youtu.be/_7tlMZi0rok Thank you for your attention:)
iX
Eu tirei a curtida só pra curtir de novo
Simply fantastic!! <3
58:39 Wow “Eyes on me” , My Final Fantasy~
❤
Thank you all I will say because everything else has been said
Loved your FF arrangements!! Do you have the plan to write them down on sheet music!? I would like to try play them!! Congrants!! I’m huge Fan of Nobuo’s Uematsu music
Wow youre incredile!
❤
battle on the big bridge is in almost every final fantasy game and you didnt do that one, dislike. (jk)
有感情的声音 太治愈了
Thank you so much for this!!!
You could perfectly be playing the game with these versions and you wouldn’t notice the difference, it actually sounds much better 😝
💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Sigh. why does XI never get any love?
1:30:55 – I didn’t know i was nostalgic for FF12 until now
So amazing. I wish your version of the Prologue had existed when I walked down the aisle! Beautiful.
Your performance is astonishingly beautiful! are those arrangements available somewhere? I’d really like to buy the book!
Final fantasy has some of the most beautiful music ever. And you play those songs so amazingly
Just came here after a year passed after my last comment. This performance now reached 2.1 M views. Well deserved. Will come back. 😀
This is a gift to the ears and to the soul. Thank you John.
Jesus! That Fisherman’s Horizon and Eyes on Me were both ridiculously perfect. Thank you!
Absolutely superb, wow!
you are awesome man. all my memories of playing final fantasy. thank you.
I bet you must be a FF die hard fan. Only by being one can you perform these timeless melodies so “lively” 🎉
Beautiful.
I especially enjoyed Chocobo Theme. You just seemed so happy playing it, lol. Amazing work, man!
Your arrangements remind me of LonLonJp.
How did I only find this now? Final Fantasy is up there as one of my favorite game series, and classical guitar is my favorite instrument to listen to. This is perfect!
Tifas theme 😍
beautiful tones!so impressive~~~
Vama Alla Flamenco (1:07) is insaaaaaneee!! THIS IS AMAZING
Like we say in french, ” this is honey in my ears ! ” ^^ nice job man ! this is beautiful ! 🙂
Good job man, the memories you brought back from when I was kid spending 4 hours a day trying to beat the game!
Instantly subbed after maybe 10 seconds of the vid. Its chilling how much I love this.
Just…AMAZING!
Cant describe with my poor vocabulary/
Ah the nostalgia! And with that quality I was expecting your channel to have at least 500k subs..
This music saved my life.
Aerith’s Theme is my favorite, it takes me back to 1997 when Final Fantasy VII came out, I remember I took a week off from work just to play the game.
I don’t think I have heard these Final Fantasy IV songs since the last time I played the game (which was in 2004, I believe). Yet I still instinctively knew some of the chord changes and got very warm nostalgic vibes. Very good playing and great arrangements! Thank you!
This is so beautifully done! I wish I could give the video more than one like, because it shows you’ve put a lot of love and labor into these songs. ❤
man I freakin love this. Ever since the 8 bit, been playing right up till FF14.
youre beyond talented
Just discovered you John, it’s only a matter of time before millions of others do too. You’re amazing and offer a unique nostalgic experience to anyone who grew up to these games. Wish you all the best, and looking forward to watching your career thrive.
ありがとう!!!!
LOVE THIS SO MUCH!
GREAT
2.1 mil views…52.5k subscribers… Let’s hook John up with the subs he deserves. What an amazing collection of arrangements and performed so perfectly. I’d love to see more of these, keep up the incredible work, John!
There should really be a study on why the Final Fantasy music makes us so emotional. I mean, it’s beautiful, nostalgic and they are always accompanied by great stories. But there are some songs that hit like REALLY hard. It’s difficult not to get emotional listening to any of the OST, for me it’s Zanarkard and Answers (FFXIV) I can’t with these two.
Listened through all the way to lightnings theme and it finally got me
I constantly come back to this collection. Absolutely brilliant talent you are, and so loyal to the source material. Thank you – truly and sincerely.
I would pay good money to see you live.
I think I might have found the perfect video to put my 1 y/o son to sleep to. He passed out pretty quick when I put this on.
It’s almost 2 years now,
I always have this on my fav playlist in my youtube music and play them in my car, before sleep and even at work.
(Sorry it took me almost 2 years to say thank you) ❤
please, give me tab for play ff guitar
Absolutely wild; I’ve probably listened to this 1000 times front to back and still haven’t gotten over it. I just want more 🙂
wonderful
11と14だけありません。
オンライン・ゲームは対象外ということですね。
とても残念です。
上手すぎやろww
Thanks for the great performance. All the Japanese commenting are impressed by your performance!
Final Fantasy VIII! 😢 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for compiling this into one video. Love FF. You’re so incredibly talented.
this deserves millions of views. thank you master of the final guitar fantasy
I guess you played some Final Fantasy.
การเล่นที่แสนไพเราะ จากบทเพลงที่เราคุ้นเคย
Superb skills!!! Thanks a lot for your videos, my happiest childhood time are with these game melodies.
Great melodies and impressive skill!
Lovely! Congratulations! ❤
why am i crying in the club rn
Stunning! Thank you.
SKILLS!!! Or better yet, scales, haha…Nicely done, John,
ur pitch are perfect
woooow! Amazing! gg
Really great work !!!
I simply love all of this, the music, the video and of course your skills. Thanks for keeping Final Fantasy memories along the years. 😉
Wow, the guitar has a very impressive hidden potential. It is now in my top 3 instrument list. Thank you sir.
Man, I’m glad I found this. Perfect background music for the office. Amazing job, you’re incredibly talented.
Bro, I need you to play at my wedding/honeymoon… I need this.
I have thrown this on as background music while I am “working” so many times over the last few weeks. Your FFVII renditions bring me back to a better time, especially Cosmo Canyon.
Thank you!
Balmb garden was so magical
I started a new job, a kind of job you hope for in adult life. Since I’ve been nervous about it, this playlist is my morning routine. it gets my mind right. I listen everyday.
Thaks a lot for uploading this
Awesome dude. Great sound
this is smooth as fuck
Beautiful.
Where can I find the sheet music?
Eyes On Me gives me chills every time
What fantastic acoustic covers of some great FF compositions. Well done!
Would play everything again with your work in there🤩
simply wonderful, man! Thanks so much!!!
welp, i know what scales im practicing for finger picking style for days while never being bored with it…whats that the 5th fret capo’d? ill figure the rest out Lmao
Man I needed that 🙌 💯 🙏
Esplêndido!!!
I cry every time I hear Aerith’s theme. Makes me think of my mum. Well done!
I would love to see tablature for all of this. absolutely amazing, I love all the final fantasy music, and to hear it played on a classic guitar is wonderful
I love how within the opening FF theme there is “peace” a bit of “fear” and “mystery/adventure” all tied in. It’s truly a masterpiece.
This is absolutely incredible. You’ve convinced me in two songs to finally go back and play FFVI. Beautiful playing.
🙌🙌🙌
ありがとう。いいものを聞かせてもらった。
cosmo canyon shook me
51:56
Do you happen to have tabs for these?
Do you have a playlist for final fantasy 11?
When I saw this video, I was worried that my favorite song wouldn’t be featured but… IT WAS! Thank you so much! So well done! (FF6 – Searching For Friends) I absolutely loved it.
wow john very soothing thank you
Wonderful music.
Are you using a pickup? The clarity is slightly muffled by the resonance and there’s a lack of higher frequency. A separate microphone on a stand would help. You could even mix both sources if you wanted to.
Rediscovering Aerith theme even 15 years later give me still the same nostalgia. What amazing piece of art some people are able to create <3. Beatiful performance
Wonderfully done
gracias <3
wow recuerdos.
Whyy does nostalgia feel good and bad 😭
Thanks for sharing
very cool
Eyes on Me will never not make me misty-eyed.
Sincerely my good friend, may God bless you on your journey…
Be safe, take care.
Those who fight god
Tomorrow i see you,merci de France
The Dark Crystals keeps sticking out as an outlier… can’t stop playing it.
Que lindo ver un músico disfrutar y hacer disfrutar a los demás
Bellissimo! !!! Ff7 nel cuore!!!
You have made me very happy, good sir
Big Final Fantasy fan. Played every game minus like 2 odd ball games. I listen to this sometimes while playing FF 14 🙂
love love love
great to write to
hell. fuckin. yes
Some my favorite music of all time arranged on my favorite instrument.. how about some tabs?
I think you officially won at guitar. What’s next?
I have been searching the comments, is there a list of the songs and which games they are tied to?
dude, i love this, its my music for my DND game. I have used this since my 15th session when i found it, i am now on my 58th game, and this music is one of the reasons, that establishes my world and game. I love it!
Clicked here by accident. Was a great accident.
42:15 prooo
This is beautiful, and brings back old (good) memories. Thank you!
Oh god I want to return back to the same generation in my next life with same games
John – I discovered you while looking up New World music I didn’t own in game yet… I’m also a massive Final Fantasy fan, and I want you to know my feelings on your arrangements & playing:
It is simply flawless. Not just flawless, but the passion, care, and precision you put into every single note is absolutely breath-taking. Truly wonderful to watch & listen to. You are a master of your craft and I’m both humbled and grateful to be able to listen to it. Thank you!
P.S. – was only slightly disappointed that you didn’t have the FFX track “Sight of Spira” in here 😉
I’d buy sheet music of these transcriptions if it were available. Beautiful job.
I think the music from FF8 best suits that guitar and your style. 🙂
Great playing! Do you happen to have sheet music for this? It would be great to learn how to play this legendary guitar performance.
Looped / extended versions of each musical piece please!!
I’ve actually listened to a LOT of different covers of these wonderful songs.I’ve heard some fantastic versions but this collection, in my opinion, is BY FAR the best. I listen daily. It’s clear how much you enjoy these as you play them. Thank you
心に沁みりました。世界が平和でありますように(^-人-^)・・・自分もクラシックギターで弾いてみよう(^o^)
Japan music who created those song is amazing when the game only play 8bit
Wow not only extremely accurate but the performance did sound in the style of Final Fantasy, very clean work! As a former classical guitarist and Final Fantasy fan, Congratulations!
너무 좋아요 최고.. bb
Thank you for this precious gift!

Just beautiful……,many thanks!
Your music is nice. My heart is full my heart of deep of deep soul . Thank you very mach.
Jessie’s Theme is perfect
memory of lightwaves.. still top tier
WOW
excellent , best music
It’s almost like rain. Your notes don’t linger longer than a whisper before the next ones come. Each time, I wish it were longer but am happy for what’s to come.
The nostalgia really hit me hard on this one. After watching the whole thing I had the urge to play all the old games. I couldn’t decide which one to pick up first. Now I listen to this all the time for work and to make me fall asleep. ❤
Beautiful music
Thank you very much for this dedicated compilation!
The smirk at the beginning of Terras theme 💚 one of my favorite songs and on the nylon strings 😙👌
dobra, dobra. połowy dzwiekow to ten pan nie gra …
FF I…Town…I remember being so young, my parents waking me up in my childhood bed. Hearing this in my heart always reminds me of that time. Now, I’ve lost my Dad and am moving my mother into assisted living. My heart hurts, but if I listen just enough…the echoes of my youth still remain. Thank you for this gift.
I still think Somnus is one of the best pieces of music out there
Lena’s thema and aerith’sthema
🥺ffV land unknown I love
Loved it – especially the FFVII arrangements. Many thanks 🙂
This is one hidden gem
why does Zanarkand make me so sad :/. such a beautiful song
How dare you skip XI GRRRRRRR!!!!!
My ears & soul are very happy to be listening to this. Thank you.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
my goodness, you are awesome man! Subbed!
I have played a few FF games and their songs always make me emotional. Thanks for transposing them to the guitar… your music is lovely.
Muy bueno!!! FF es uno de los mejores juegos que jugue y hasta el dia de hoy sigo jugando . Muy fan de FF
Well played!
Refreshing beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talents. 👏👏👏👏👏
イグニスみたい!
i came here to relive my childhood. Not bawling my eyes out.
wow 👏 love it
you got me
Get me those shirts.
This is a total masterpiece, i’m speechless. You’re a legend!
Masterfully done!
no, you can’t do this to me. a whole ff bgm with an amazing guitar play? im so stunned
The most used music in my massage business. Thank you so much for your dedication to the art mate.
one winged angel pleaaaseeee
This is everyday playlist until it’s gone from apple music 🙁 please bring it back, I listen through homepod, so other services is not an option.
ああ
pure love m3n
Can someone make a FF mod to replace the soundracks with this?
What an amazing collection of music. It’s rare to see compilations like this acknowledge anything past FFX. Kiss Me Goodbye really hit me in the feels 😌
Is this God?
You’re amazing. Thanks for this.
i love it
Way to take me back! The music from the games that I’ve played the longest! Eyes on Me still does it.
Spent all my homeworking days with it in the background… So relaxing.
This is a labor of love, clearly. Thanks man.
Thanks for making my 4th of July an amazing one with this amazing music.
This is unreal – as a guitarist this is incredibly impressive. Did you tab out your renditions? I’m assuming you are using some open tunings on some of the bits? It’s truly fantastic!
anyway THANKYOU, i’ve become so productive by listening this. <3
Fantastic dude! The music is eargasm🎵🎵
My mother passed away a few weeks ago, and I’ve been unable to process any emotions about it I’ve just been absolutely numb to everything.. The songs from FF8 just made me so nostalgic about my childhood, and the times I had with her, that I was finally able to cry, thank you so much.
fuckin’ beautiful, man. Keep it up!
Anybody have any idea what tension strings are being used? I just bought my first classical guitar, and so far feel that I’d like the strings a little tighter.
Wow very nice brother 👏
Theme of Love feels so simple, yet so beautiful
so FANTASY
What an amazing video! I always use this as a background for studying or working.
I also love the smile on your face on 27:23. As a fellow guitarist, it just brings me happiness to watch someone enjoying their own performance!
FFVII is always amazing, finally playing through Yuffie’s DLC for the Remake right now. Tifa’s theme in particular never gets old.
Final Fantasy 1 has a very underrated soundtrack.
Thank you for bringing back my childhood memories. All of the music were brilliant!!
working from home with that in background. I love my job for being able to do that
Balamb garden is so amazing through your fingers
Oooo yes! I love listening to FF music, but sometimes I want to hear it in a more consistent tone. It can be jarring to go from FF1 music to like FF7Remake music lol. I love mixes like these for just covering a bit of the series.
We are all not worthy of this, to be completely honest. You spoil us all. Many childhood memories beautifully brought back into the fold of a chaotic and uncertain adult life. Really enjoying escaping to an easier time in life. Thanks for this.
reviviste cientos de recuerdos esta noche, te lo agradezco
1:11:15
The FF9 stuff hit me in the feels ….. great work man , must of taken a long time to learn all that…..
So good I love acoustic guitar music (reminding me of my childhood) also with final fantasy (another childhood memory)
I love it so much
I cried when I heard to zanarkand. It’s been years and for some reason there has been a build up all these years. strange, but thank you sir. hearing is on classical guitar kind of opened up something new and old at the same time. Thanks again John.
Thank you so much, you are amazing, loved FF8 since when I was a kid ❤️ all the best ✌️🏻
Uematsu and Hamauzu bring the drama so hard. The most memorable of all FF characters: the music
This song will save me when Vecna attack.
I think it is never too late to say THANK YOU for taking so much of your time to practice these to your own renditions and give us so much to reminisce. From playing the games, watching the cutscenes, and feel with the characters themselves, and to listen to such a masterpiece of a soundtrack. THANK YOU!
What a FKN CHAD of a L E G E N D
Absolutely amazing. Well done.
youre a god
19:05 Ohhh I can’t help but start dancing whenever I hear this theme xD
Thank you for the lovely classical guitar arrangement John Oeth !
Quick question John – which was your favorite to learn/play?
Rydia’s theme’s arrangement is lovely
This is great. I recognise the arrangement of The Promise and I’ve played simplified versions of many of these tracks. But obviously it sounds a lot better and smoother in this incarnation!
All that’s missing is some FFXIV arrangements – Sultana Dreaming, for example.
Mateeeeeee! You are amazing!!! Congrats for your work and I’m really glad you are sharing your astonishing skills! I always listen to your songs while studying and it makes me feel happy to remember the time when I played FF!
You had the chance to play the Theme music from West Ronfaure, Final Fantasy 11 and you missed it!!! tsk.
The Streets of Rabanastre is new to my ear, so exciting and unique song to be played on guitar! Nice job!
I’m falling asleep.
Instant like, soooo I’m gonna go see if you did Legend of Zelda too. 😏❤️
Thanks John and shout to lonlonjp
Thanks to put your time to make all of this. NIce
nicely done Sir Auron!
Esse foi o prelúdio mais limpo que eu já vi em toda minha vida.
I could listen to “To Zanarkand” a million times. Thanks for playing so many beautiful renditions.
Now this is my jam.
I’ve wanted to hear Terra’s Theme on Mandalin… for like, a very long time.
Quede muy impresionado.😍 felicidades 😁
手元見たら、この多彩な音色がギター1本から繰り出されてる事が判明してびっくり!!欲しい音が全部聞こえてくるから全然物足りなさが無くて、FFへの愛を感じる😭✨
every moment was perfect, but MAN was that version of those who fight my absolute favorite. Seriously well done.
if i owned a coffee shop, i’ll have this music playing
my childhood memories is surging through my brain😭
tho there’s no one winged angel, sephirot theme
comments are useless
Bravo!! This is soo great! Great job!!
The gentle tones of the main theme made me cry without even daring a glance. It is lovely.
素晴らしい、懐かしさや感動が蘇る演奏
Tifa’s Theme made me teary. Well done!
Love this. Very relaxing.
I even not know where the music come from
I am crying
I definitely saw a smile on your face for the Chocobo theme! Honestly, I started smiling when I heard it, and then checked back on the video to see you enjoying yourself *just a little bit*.
There’s something special about FFVI’s “Searching for Friends”. You can see it in John’s body language as he’s playing it, whatever it is, he’s feeling it.
it’s relex and touching! 😀
.
Great work!
I only missed some titles of “Final Fantasy Tactics”.
THat is by far my favorite part of Final Fantasy.
Thats the face of a man who is truly entranced by the sound he is making in the best possible way. Would love your feed back on some of my videos sometime =)
When are you releasing this whole playlist or album in Apple Music? Am just loving every bit of your song. 😊😊😊
Beautiful!
Final fantasy 8 fans here¬
Keep playing?
OFF COURSE!
wtf I”m like 2 tracks in and this is fanfreakingtastic
Very good, I liked it a lot !!! It relaxes me a lot, but I like it better in the piano version, but on the guitar it also sounds very good.
How in the hell do you not have a 100,000 subscribers already!? You’re so great and beautiful! No homo.
woooo sooo niceeeee
Very nice!
Thank you for these cherished memories 💕 Just beautiful ♥️🎶
Bro you nailed it! As a fan of both the guitar and FF I am in bliss listening to this. What a badass
Oh my God ! These musics are so amazing. Thank you for this high level tribute to those japanese genius composers.
This is so good!!!!
Actually made the Chocobo theme bearable . . . bravo!
プレリュードの音の足りなさにその後聞くか悩んだけど,まあ,そのあとは感動したわ。
Thanks for the nostalgic melody…
May I ask what the easiest song to learn is?
You have elevated the music sir.
Your play are so beautiful, i cannot hold my tears when you play Melodies of life at 1:11:15 since that is my most favourite FF soundtrack. Thank you.
Hey all, glad to meet you guys in that fantastic world
No Final Fantasy 11 tracks. Disrespectful.
Phenomenal compilation! Excellent work!
Amazing
very nice to listen these interpretations of all time classics arranged by the mega master daisuke minamisawa, good luck in your guitar teaching project bro!
I’m seriously offended you skipped 11 and 14. More so 11. Shame on you. 11 has done of the absolute best tracks from the series as a whole.
Hello!!! Would it be ok to use this video as BGM for one of my livestreams if I credit & link back?
This is awesome and beautiful. Thank you for Talent! Didtn know how much Feelings can be created with one guitar…love it!
와 씨발 쩐다 . 존나 개감동
first off, its amazing you took the time to learn all these songs. secondly, Terra’s Theme and Cosmo Canyon were some major nostalgia trips. thank you
😍whats a guy gotta do to get these tabs?! this is amazing! best i’ve heard in all my years!
High quality content !
Sudenly i remember my game shark
I wonder how someone would not like this video.
Just seen it on suggestion really pretty
ギター1本でここまで表現できるとは
Me encanta. ¡Felicidades!
I wish I had someone in my life that looked at me like you look at your guitar lol
I really didn’t mean to cry but I can’t help it. My little sister is about to get married and listening to this makes me feel sad that I won’t be able to play games with her anymore. We grew up playing RPGs together and our ultimate fave is the Final Fantasy series. The last FF we played was the FF7 Remake last year, and I know she won’t be there to play Part 2 with me. It’s heartbreaking but life must go on. In my heart she’ll forever be my beloved little sister and video game partner.
I bought a classic guitar and man I totally suck
This is pure magic. Thank you💗
Make love to that guitar, pervert. Kidding, this is really nice.
all the FF tracks btw are known cures for lbm
Very impressive performance. Thank you John for this amazing work.
子供の頃から大好きなFFの音楽を、海外の方がこんなにも素晴らしいアレンジをして下さっていて本当に嬉しい。
眠る前のBGMにさせて頂きます!
Nier’s OST when bro 🙁
You make my Wednesday, just like that.
to see lonlonjp name in here made me miss his channel so much 🙁 wonder how is he doing these days
Where can I find notation of all these songs?
That moment when you go to LIKE something and realize you’ve liked it in the past.
The beginning of the Chaos Temple theme sorta reminds me of the opening to “Don’t Fear the Reaper”.
The music really does speak to your soul
Wish someone would put stuff out like this on vinyl
I’d love to see you as a side character in the next FF. You would deserve it right away! This would honor your dedication in a cute way. Thank you 🌿
bravo! bravo!
The Place I’ll Return to Someday is so fitting. It’s like a John Dowland composition or something.
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve listened to this. The FF soundtracks are classic and you play them beautifully!
the counsel of me accepts this presentation
and now we ask you to continue
have a good day sir
Excelent to study time, thanks it’s wonderful
Magnificent, thanks for the love put on this pieces!
上手すぎます。
This is 100% without a doubt my favorite thing on youtube. The only thing missing is Crisis Core 🙁
A M A Z I N G… This is the best cover of FF I ever listened so far. Thank You for this wonderful experience.
DUDE. WOW!!
beautiful cover man, I am feeling nostalgic listening to these and the fact you seem enjoying playing these tunes with smile. well done 🙂
Where’s the love for Final Fantasy Tactics? 🙁
My best friend, that’s a great video. I will always cheer for you in Korea I’m looking forward to a great video. Have a nice day.
This is easily one of the very best videos I have ever listened to on YouTube.
I really envy your great guitar playing skill.
thank you for playing great music,I’m looking forward your new works.
Wow….the nostalgia is hitting pretty hard. I’m fine though, I’m….fine….
*Suteki Da Ne starts*
MY EMOTIONS!!!!!!!
just beautiful thx for sharing this
First of All…
You’re God.
Second… All Final Fantasy have great Ost, i’ve almost played all of them…
But…
But…
Final Fantasy IX is of another World… The Music… The Character… The Story…
Vamos a la Flamenco!
Wow… my childhood 🥺
Love your work 🙂 I’m waiting for another livestream ! Keep it up!
Curti a crina 🤓👍
Amazing! Wish I knew how tp play a guitar!!!
初めまして。何処か懐かしく素敵な音色ですね😀。FFは昔のスーファミ時代の物が一番好きでした。PS以降は、グラフィックに特化し過ぎて、ゲーム全体がつまらなくなってしまった気がします。音楽もゲームもシンプルが一番かと思います。
てーん
prelude 00:00 in 0.75 = perfection
You my friend, have some of the best sliding hand vibrato that I have ever heard or seen. Beautiful technique bud.
From a person who has always been a fan of classical guitar arrangements and has been playing Final Fantasy games for 30 years, THANK YOU!!
Magnificient
Wow! I guess i’ll be trying to learn those on piano or maybe even guitar 🙂 also consider me subscribed
marking down my favs for myself here… 5:13 – 9:01 – 26:06 – 27:59 – 39:42 – 45:04 – 50:29 – 52:50 – 1:07:40 – 1:46:47
This has officially become my background music as I prep for the weekly DnD game.
I listen to your playing the guitar while sleeping and think about the good time when I was an elementary school student and played all Final Fantasy series in order. What is more, I wouldn’t realize that Final Fantasy has been loved all over the world those days. Anyway, Thank you for your contribution to this epic play!
The true genius of the composition absolutely shines through when not held back by the original technical limitations (and of course thanks to these incredibly talented hands!).
First piece is a bit too fast tempo. Amazing work otherwise!
超喜歡
thanks, i cried
I couldn’t stop watching you play the ff8 ones! hit me right in my childhood
Man this gold. Pure gold. Thanks a lot for creating such masterpiece. Big shouts from France.
🥺 thank you, its beautiful
Gracias por esta interpretacion, eres un maestro
Amazing work!
Hmmmmm….Chaos Temple is beautiful.
Now I know the inspiration for Estes Tonne’s song “Introspection”
Holy crap. I’ve been falling asleep to your album on Spotify for what feels like a year straight. It’s so moving and inspiring and I’m so happy to stumble on your channel. Thank you so!
I just came across this as I normally listen to EDM and classical and video game remixes with a focus on piano arrangements…. This was amazing. Gaming really is such a beloved art form and blends music, video, storytelling in such unique ways (Final Fantasy IX was one of my first ever games played and I feel nostalgia anytime I hear music from that game). I also want to give huge props to the talent not just in playing the music but the camera angles and editing of this video, it felt like I was being treated to a solo concert. 10 out of 10!
It’s sad that we’ve got people being praised on Youtube for learning some basic song that is recognizable by the masses but you’ve got a superior talent on a level these other people will never reach generate a complete set of masterpieces from the legendary FF7 and there’s only a million people who like the video. #simplysad #thisguyisepic
So I’ve listened to this a lot. All of the music sounds great on a guitar though tbh, for most of it I prefer the sound on a piano.
That said… Cosmo Canyon is the exception. That sounds like it was made to be played on an acoustic guitar…
Perfeito de ouvir. Senti minha mente esquecer dos problemas e relaxar.
Uma mistura gostosa de suavidade e nostalgia.
No FFXI ? 🙁
Wow ! It really motivates me to learn this many song on the piano 😄
30:06 <3
Breezy sounds like playback hahaha perfect execution!
Awesomeness!
弾き方いいですね。、優しい。優しい気持ちになります
Two of my favorite things, Guitar and Final Fantasy. Why have I not found you till today. Love it, sounds lovely on nylon strings Thanks. ❤
Very impressive, thanks for taking the time to learn all these and play for us! Great to listen to while working 🙂
I was listening today and I could resist crying when I heard Aerith’s Theme and Memories of Life. <3
Your music is healing, and cathartic.
wow
Are you kidding me? The man took a long time to put all these together in a masterpiace and you didn’t subscribe?! Thank you man! I’ll listen to this for hours.
Aeriths theme is🔥🔥🔥🙌🏽
thank you for this <3 hope too see some FF14 in future
I’d love to play some of these, or atleast learn to but ever since I broke my pinky I’ve been annoyed that it starts hurting if I put too much pressure on it x-x
These arrangements are so powerful, they brought Aerith back to life 🙏🏻
Absolutely lovely to listen to, nostalgia is running high! Thank you!
i put some birds chirping in the background and stream sounds over this and it was great
I’m so happy to find this video!!! Well, I didn’t look for it so I guess I didn’t find it. 😀
EDIT: I have to stop to whatever I was doing when FF7 started playing! Thank you for bringing back memories.
This is seriously amazing work! Thanks for sharing this with everyone!
TE AMO
Fantastic video. This is not just a generic copy and paste for a new instrument. It is very carefully made with love and affection. Wonderful work all the way to the end.
Streets of Rabanastre s2. Thanks!!!!
Tremendous arrangements thanks for the upload. Well done!
son of a chocobo. i do this on piano
Theme of Love FF4— I am shattered
Love from Belgium !
Pô, não sabia que o Bruno Zago do Pipoca E Nanquim tocava violão….🤣
Se pudesse dar 1000 likes nesse vídeo eu daria. Muito muuuuito bom mesmo. Parabéns
wowwwww!!! que de recuerdos hermosos con tu versión. es fantastico!!!!! 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Look at this dude – he ain’t even tryin…
wonderful
DUDE! You have made mylife complete. From A to Zinc!
Great job, dude!
My absolute favorite video game music hands down! Thanks for the childhood relive 🙂
Zozo Theme?
I think you never heard of it 😜
Just kidding great work 👍
Oh my gad… Balamb Garden really put me in tears.. Lot of memories while I was playing it
Yeah if I could just have the original ff7 dialogue voice acted by the remake voices that would be great
Absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing this with us
The picking pattern with the strumming behind it is really impressive in the FFIX Chocobo treasure hunting theme! Nice work all around man. Sounds great.
Wow… Just found this and it’s amazing… Final Fantasy is definitely my favorite music and you give it an incredible touch… Greetings from Mexico.
i recognized a few while scrolling through the video lol
Fisherman’s Horizon is such an amazing song. Great cover!
Each song is a perfect rendition, glad to add this to my collection of listening.
This came on thanks to a YT recommendation, autoplay. Knew what it was, but didn’t. I’ve played hundreds of games, owned dozens of platforms, yet never played a single FF title. That any of these pieces were familiar to me is a testament to both the quality, depth and most significantly the reach of both music and series. Masterfully played, truly wonderful to see. 🙌🏼
What FF series is being played at 2:00?
Thanks anyone!
Just wanted to say « thank you »😍
I just love the way he play those song so much. It is beautiful like a love song. Grand and sad like the fantasy we all know.
Lovely
Hypnotically good. Congratulations!
I love this video with all the songs… I heard it everyday when I work.
Thanks for this awesome covers
that FF7 main theme didnt look easy but it sounded awesome! 🙂
we could see the fondness and passion you have for those tunes
Thank you so much for this!
The best channel on youtube. I love this place. Amazing
ty man <3 is so calm and relax
my god Breezy 54:49 <3 NOSTALGIC
I have no words, keep going man, I can only dream to become a guitar player like you, this is beyond impressive!
Awesome job and great choices!
This is brilliant sir , in awe , I started with ffIX … really wish I can bring back those times , it really is ” Melodie’s of life ” after all — la la la la … 🎶 ( so happy to stumble upon this , been recently tapping in again to these songs idk why I slack so long .. definitely uplifted me and thwarted me back in the most level up’d way yet ! My soul was needing this .. when going thru daily motions ff9 has bounced me back with the positive energy to keep going in this world that we live in ! Can’t wait to pass it on to my son ) 💎⚡️💎
Fabulous share and channel well done see you again be safe cheers 👍👍👍
Absolutely incredible. But I can’t believe you’ve decided to omit The Nightmare Begins (Vincent theme) which is kinda obvious choice 🙂 maybe too obvious?
Nice, good music!!
Jaysus… 53:59 just hit me like a ton of bricks. Maybe I’ve heard the original Balamb Garden so often I’m desensitized, but I just teared up and you transported me back to summer ’98. For reasons no-one will care enough to read, it was the best of times… so thank you.
Seeing how he plays guitar… Like a fucking nerd or a bard from the olden days instead of adopting a hard rock or metal powerstance… It gives me hope I could learn too, if only a little. 😭
This was the video I reproduce when ever I need to chill my mind. Is perfect. Thabks a lot for these masterpieces
You’re literally a Bard. Dope.
Ty very much
1:37:17 it gives me chills everytime
This expert guitarist found a goldmine of great music in FF. We found a goldmine of musical listening pleasure in him.
すごくお上手ですね!
ずっと聴いていられます。
The first 10 seconds of playing immediately earned you a subscriber.
This is so good, a finest expression of the soul of Final Fantasy. Thank you sir
Rose of May gives me absolute shivers, one of my favorite pieces in the series. Beautifully played!
Edit: I also adore your rendition of Suteki Da Ne, gave me such nostalgia to hear it. <3
40:57 when you want rock but still want it to be classical
Well these bring back memories of 20 years ago.
聽的是一種情懷~~
makes me think about castles
Thank you so much! This list is so beautiful and soothing to listen to, especially while doing my homework at 3am lol. It doesn’t make me too sleepy or too boring so I really appreciate it!!
What an absolute delight this was to pop up into my suggested videos. At first I thought it was an assortment of one-off’s, but you played an entire set with this. Bravo sir, Bravo.
thats a very unique prelude since you played both parts together, sounds cool af
Increíble Jhon, me tocas el alma con esta versión, que recuerdos…. Saludos desde el sur de Chile
1:32:30 Kiss me goodbye is my favourite and the Old Dalan sewer theme from Final Fantasy XII
This is definitely a subscribe. I didn’t know I needed this. You have nailed the emotional element of these songs, and it’s frankly overwhelming.
Village of Dali, what an experience.
Absolutely amazing, you are definitely great at your craft
Anywhere I can find tabs to the FF7 music? Such a great job!
Thank you. I listen to your guitar every night.
Do all players of guitar have to keep the nails long?
I ask this because I’m a violinist and I want to start learning guitar, but to play violin YOU MUST keep your fingernails super trimmed.
Your Hollow cover is absolutely fantastic.
Balamb Garden was my first exposure to FF series, and my god such nostalgia.
And also, my asian parents didn’t allow me to game expect on the PS1 on weekends.
Very nice work
Beautiful music, final fantasy, and very clean technique and playing. Subcribed man!
I think you’d be able to tame the wild monsters of Final Fantasy with your guitar or boost morale for your comrades in a battle 😀
Beautiful💖💖
Am I the only one still crying.
Amazing!
This is just stunning, amazing work
Je m’endore ce soir avec ta guitare merci.
Pour être sincere j’allais eteindre mon pc pour dormir
mais tes cordes me berce tellement en positif que j’ai pas pu éteindre le pc dodo avec la guitare c’est une évidence.
Je vais faire de beaux rêves merci bonne nuit.
Thank you for this bless your soul I’m crying as my childhood memories flood back to me 🫂
Loved the Dear Friends part. Thank you <3
Masterpiece
gorgeous arrangement and i’m only a couple minutes in, lovin’ it!
Just loved it ❤️
SO satisfied that you played songs from the games in order
ah goddamnit when i heard aeriths theme, that brought back memories
Thank you for sharing your talent. Absolutely beautiful!
What a beautiful work, honest rendition to the FF saga, masterly, emotional and delicate performance, heart-touching video, sir. Thank you.
Beautiful work man, it makes the work day feel way more enjoyable. This is one I’ve been and probably will always come back to regularly, thanks very much!
I’m really glad to have found this– I’ve been listening to the piano ones but the guitar sounds really nice too. Thanks for uploading this!
I was always a sucker for Cosmo Canyon, great rendition
綺麗!感動しました!
Zanarkand is one of the gifts, you can get in reality (you just have to grab it with let lif a good life and help that sakika and roy is a pair. Can you heal and help. or want to stop some day, and never see everything in this infinite universe. oh… yes… infinite planets and travel to all of them or life on them are included. 😀 everything can be, but decide in life, because there is no second chance 😆
Thx for playing for me for nearly two hours
Man I love your playing of these songs so much! One question, are you reading over the sheet as you play or is this all by memory?
These are really good! roughly what percent of them are in standard tuning?
Thank you very much, John
Lennas theme is my favorite.
so talented and bring my childhood memories back T_T
so nostalgic, love it
Beautiful!
This brings back so much heart tugging heart strings. Thank you. :’)
Found my new jam
Not a single track from XI, wow, that’s fairly ignorant of you.
I can hear footsteps…
I love this!
Will this come to Apple Music?
Well played!
wow..this evokes memories I had during my teens playing FF8. The lengths I had to go through in playing the game on a toshiba laptop with intel p3, 64mb ram and 20gb storage. Borrowed the cds(extracted them for .iso file) from a friend which had lots of scratches which caused the PSEmu to crash or had frequent read errors. But despite all of that I persisted and finished the game, those were happy times…thank you for this
nice FF music video👍✨✨
Magnificent
Thank you!
wow you are amazing
In many cases, improvements on the original. My hat’s off to you!
That was so fucking impressive, amazing job man. Thank you for doing this for us bro!
Wow the FFX Zanarkand song got me right in the feels. Bravo sir 👏
OMG!!!! ITS BEATIFULL YOUR ART ❤️
Quando ascolto queste musiche non posso fare altro che sprofondare nella nostalgia. Mi manca l’infanzia, il piacere della scoperta, non premere quel pulsante per ascoltare per intero la traccia. Credo di aver perso tantissimo di quel tempo dietro questi giochi, ma darei tutto per poter tornare indietro e riviverli come fosse la prima volta. Quando parte la battle theme non posso fare altro che imitare Cloud che ritrae la spada e lancia una spell/summon.
bro I can feel the hard work you put on this! gj thumbs up
何か懐かしくて涙が( ´•̥̥̥ω•̥̥̥`)
this is literally the best guitar video on youtube.
This is unbelievable. Unreal skill. So well done. Such high quality. Just perfect.
When you started playing “Ahead on our way” a wave of nostalgia just came over me and I started crying for no reason. I’ve never had this happen before while listening to video game music least of all on an acoustic guitar. * *Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap, Clap!* *
My only criticism of this video is that there is no music from 11 and 14 and they have such amazing soundtracks as well, but who can complain when you nailed so many of the most memorable and best tracks from every other game. 🙂
胸熱だよ。ありがとう。
Some of my favorite memz is watching my older bro play any of the final fantasies. It was like watching a movie. I’d get mad when he would stop lol hold on my nostalgia organ is leaking…🤍
0:40 hit hard
sounds great man but like you skipped key Guitar songs… Jecht’s theme. is one major one for example.
Quel talent!!!!
C’est magique, j’ai plus qu’à fermer mes yeux pour voyager
Instasub on prelude <3
Your Cosmo Canyon was awesome!
The whole thing is absolutely fabulous, but XIV’s complete absence is nothing short of criminal. Show Soken some respect!
The best years that ever came to be
I can’t believe.So beautiful!!
I’m very happy to listen to your play.Thank you for sharing!
You spoony bard!
This music is absolutely gorgeous. FF has such a great score. Love the guitar.
Can’t imagine the time spent on learning all these songs, what a treat for someone who played Final Fantasy I up to the latest installment. Keep up the Great work ❤ I really enjoyed it
So much work…
I’ll apllause all my being for all the times i haved cried..
So much nostalgia. Greetings from France.
懐かしくて心が震えた。
Daliiiiiiiii
from japan・・・ Thank you for respecting our wonderful culture. I would be happy if you would continue to like Japan.
You did right by the franchise and my childhood memories. Thank you so much and take care
I think you need some shades chandrian. Isn’t it great getting what you’ve sought for so long from the one person who was your true friend? I don’t rake pleasure in this. Equilibrium man. The drug no work for me….
はじめまして。ファイナルファンタジーはとても好きな作品です。アコースティックギターで描かれる貴方の音色はとても情緒的であたたかくて素晴らしいものです!
つらいとき、落ち着きたいとき、貴方の演奏を聴いて元気を出したいと思います。素敵な演奏をありがとうございます。
Who the fuck dislikes this? You got what the video says you get. 1.3 million views and it still doesn’t seem enough. Beautiful work, John.
I’m very curious to know if anyone here is looking into Final Fantasy now because of these beautiful covers? This is only the tip of the iceberg of what the series has to offer and I hope you enjoy
i love so much
I think I’ve commented here before, but anyway… thank you so much for this. All my childhood in just one video. Really, thank you so much.
素晴らしい演奏を ありがとう。
Thank you for sharing this amazing music collection. Your interpretation is so emotional, I love it! <3
The best part is seeing how much he enjoys the music.
This still brings me to tears every single time I listen to it – such a cacophony of sounds and memories come flooding back to my brain, and then you hit again and again with spine-chilling wonder after wonder. Thank you for this. Man. . . really miss my kiddo-hood.
THIS IS WONDERFUL!
😭
What about Final Fantasy XIV 🙁 some amazing music from that game was missed.
Very surprised you didn’t do Vincent’s theme…. beautiful nevertheless.
Your face when you played ahead on our way such a face of pure bliss and joy you know where it takes you and that’s all that matters
You just gained a special place in my heart for performing one of the most favorite video game themes ever! Love this 2:34
Aerith’s Theme is the 2nd greatest video game musical composition. Behind Castlevania’s Bloody Tears and in front of Halo’s theme.
Masterpiece!!! 💫❣
Thank you so much for this beautiful thing………….oh…….man………..
Somnus had me near tears. Well done all around.
thank you
Even Queen Brahne and the 100 nobles are impressed. Awesome! Wish to hear some music from FFT too! ❤️
I had idea of playing electone’s merit more than playing guitar.
I played classic guitar at university’s time.
I am 48 age and,I finished playing guitar then.
next time,I played synthesizer.
I was electone player at child.
I like electric acoustic guitar,too.
I am Japanese.
I felt classic guitar unlimited possible by your guitar playing!!
I was classic guitar player.
I had felt for playing classic guitar well limited.
Because classic guitar is so difficult to play and,
you know,orchestra don’t use classic guitar.
then,I thought classic guitar limited more than else musical instrument.
But your guitar playing changed my bad idea!!
I’m not gonna lie. This is making me tear up.
watch it everytime, still love this awesome masterpiece,, please keep make people happy by your godly play, brother !
最高。
永遠に聴いていたいです。
I love you ….
Can you tell us what kind of guitar that is?
This guy is so talented he can play final fantasy soundtrack collection, much respect and appreciation to you man.
It’s a pleasant nostalgic feeling, being able to sit back and say, “I was there”. To feel what it’s like to hear it now, rendered in such a delicate manner and to remember what it felt like to step into those worlds the first time, and every time along the way.
Beautiful and heartfelt renditions, thank you for sharing the sonic beauty 🙏
amazing guitarist
最高すぎる・・・
Maravilhoso 👏🤩👏
I lack the words to describe how wonderful this is!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart
a true salute to my fav series tysm
well played
Sutekidane made me cry so beautiful tysm!
took me back to November of 89. Thank you =-)
that ff8 nostalgia
Yo… thanks, this is getting me through my coding bootcamp! I can just keep pressing replay and focus on learning instead of curating what I am listening too.
this is incredible!!!! such a wonderful collection! you are very talented! when I was 10 years old, I fantasized about being able to play FF songs on the guitar….people say smell evokes strong memories….well I’d say sound is stronger, nothing else can take me back 20+ years ago to these games. To Zanarkand takes me right back to 2001
Respect pal 🙂 very nice work! Good memories of hours playing these games
Wait, what is that extender thing!?
Amazing!!!
That little smile when doing For Those Who Fight. You know he’s digging it
why can’t i hit like more times for each section lmao.
very epic thanks.
最高です!!いつも作業中拝聴しております!!素敵な演奏ありがとう!!😊😊😊
this is too much for a human 😨😨😨increible amigo increible 😢😢
Your music 🎶 is an Elixir
I will return here everytime i need to replenish my mood.
Thanks 🙂😊
진짜 좋은 노래는 첫 부분만 들으면 딱 감이 옵니다. ㅠ
Acaba de entrar para a história. Em minha. Obrigado John Oeth
To Zanarkand (1:16:35) moved me to tears. And I don’t know why, but I loved every second of it.
listening to this today made my heart warm
No Final Fantasy Adventure? :C
Very impressive ! Wow ! Did you played those FF games ? Because we can feel it the way you play.
ty for this wow so talented
I put this with my class, all my boys and girls know you.
1:07:40
Kweh?
Kweh?
KWEH!?
KWEEEEHHHH!!
また、エオルゼアへ行こう
Wow your Cosmo Canyon! You played them all with emotion and passion but I think there’s a little extra in that song!
fantastic, bravo!!
I think everyone will be crying when Kingdom Hearts III finally fades into the title screen.
I’ve been rattling my brain about what to say about this pretty much since I saw it some 10 months ago. As a classical guitar performer, I’m thrilled this exists and grateful to all the arrangers.
As a classical guitar instructor, I’m glad I can point to this as a tremendous model of what is possible with well thought out arrangements and performances.
As a critical listener, I’m disgusted (jealous, really) of the tonal clarity in the rasgueados and control in the right hand – even when I was practicing for competition, I don’t think I had that level of control and it is impressive.
More than all of this, as someone who loves the guitar and loves the music of Nobuo Uematsu (one of the BIG reasons I went to school for music,) I cannot be more thankful for the incredible work you’ve done with the arrangers and what must have been countless hours toiling over fingering choices and grinding over these arrangements, some of which seem a little intimidating to the ear!
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
This dynamic series of arrangements inspire the heart of the pioneer within .
this took me back….lovely <3
This is great. Since you’re a guitarist, I’ll have to check for your Chrono Cross collection soon.
Beautiful😿
Thank you so much for share your Talent and this wonderfull songs!
what discerning taste good sir
no one from final fantasy xii T.T
Thank you, master
wow
Need permission to put in my list for YouTube Music. Very relaxing!
This is AWESOME! I wanna learn these songs on guitar now!
Is there a reason why this video is not an Album on Apple Music?
thanks youtube algorithm
Oh man, final fantasy 8 was my first final fantasy. I cannot put into words how impressive and lovely this whole compilation is. Keep doing what you’re doing dude, you’re immensely talented. ✌️
love it man!!!
Ty you so much for this Terra song and ff 1 favorite
That Fisherman’s horizon cover is so sick! It touches my heart and soul. Thank you for these awesome covers of yours. I’mma save it now on my browser’s bookmarks
45:04 goosebumps. Best FF7 song.
Serenade – a piece of music sung or played in the open air, typically by a man at night under the window of his lover.
so much work, thank you
Brings back so many childhood memories. It pulled on my heart strings quite a bit. Your rendition is absolutely fantastic! Im going to look up more of your content now 😁
i dont have any words to say. perfect.
what is that leg support, if i may ask?
Man, when i was child the ff saga was my favorite game. Listening this songs, makes me remember that time.
Pure serotonin coursing through my veins. Thank you so much for this, made my day!
😊
Simplesmente inacreditavel.
Amazing ! Congrats Dude! Thanks for this video!
totally awesome
Sheeeesh
30:06 fk, my heart is crying. Nice arrangement, holy moly
The Final Fantasy 12 songs hit very good. Love it!
いいなぁそれなつかしいです癒されますありがとう😆💕✨
これホントにギター1本ですか?すごすぎる!
Probably one of the best video of the genre thanks to this excellent music player
Brilliant stuff. Shame there is nothing included from XIV and XI. XI has some of the greatest tracks in the entire series.
awesome!!
Thank you for a wonderful time. From JAPAN
Que dedicación y talento para tocar de una manera perfecta y estar horas editando y grabando Mereces mas visualizaciones y gracias por dar este contenido practicante gratis
Amazing!
Muito bom a edição ta pefeita mais depois do FFX começou a correr tanto que so teve 3 musicas e do FFVII teve 8 não teve musicas do FFXI ou do FFIV não que eu ligue não joguei esses jogos bom que seja 8/10 continue assim seu trabalho e otimo
1:36
..couldn’t help it but to sub this! kudos~
Holy D
trialdown !
IT’s elfaria are nonprofit’s peigneur
Now I want to replay all the games.
bravo!
Great classical guitar playing. Very smooth plucking & clean fret transitions! I remember I started playing guitar wanting to play hard rock & metal. Somehow I ended up addicted to classical guitar! I grew up playing the Final fantasy series & now it’s time to learn the songs too.
This has restored my passion for learning guitar in all its forms. Thank you, sir! Donations coming soon!
I haven’t played a final fantasy game for 20 years but this video is one of the most amazing things I have ever seen!!
Rydia’s Theme ❤
Can you do some of FF14 as well please
He almost plays like a harpist
great job, beautifull 🥰
Youve done a great thing here.
WOOODOOOooooOOooo! WOooooooooo!
Need to just do a 30-60 min video of FF9 Songs, Love ff4, 5, 6, 7, 10 and none of them compare to FF9 and it’s perfect music.
God bless your soul.
Rebel army theme is a masterpiece
Terra’s Theme will always have a place in my heart.
The song of those who travel the world, knowing no destination, but it calls to you.
Cosmo canyon sounds amazing wow. As does all of it
Hello John, i am working on mixing your piece and mastering it as well as i can atm, would you like me to send it to you for you to review it when i’m done?
Kind regards.
どれも懐かしい青春の思い出!!そして勉強がはかどる👍
I tried to work while listening to this, but I can’t help myself from getting distracted since I keep looking at how he plays each song perfectly. Bravo!
…A moment of respect to the genius japanese songwriters, and artists.
This is what you hear when you say music is truly beautiful.
Man, I’M a 40 years old man and i’m in tears….
Big fan of your playing and choice of songs
final fantasy turned me trans
this sends me back to my childhood with my Snes and PSone. very relaxing and memorable music
What a nerd 💜
👏👏👏
I cant believe how each piece you play throws my soul to the nostalgia, the days i played each game and feel that joy all over again. I thank you from the bottom of my mortal heart for this gorgeous masterpiece. I’m definitely gonna play this to my unborn daughter.
Beautiful
Mellifluous!
I don’t believe, that was EXACTLY what all the fans dreamed to do someday, wished to hear one day someone’s doing. It even make me cry…. I love so much FF songs. Thank you so much for this Jhon!!!!!!
you look like superman (henry cavill version)
スクウェアにかけあってCD出してよ!!!
むしろスクウェアがかけあうべきだね!
Just wanna say a BIG thank you for this.
Bravo!! You make it seem effortless.
Listening to Dear Friends makes me thinking of things that happened 20 over years ago ^^ A great memory from SQUARE SOFT JAPAN
Thank you so much for performing these songs without adding any stupid spin to the arrangements. There’s nothing worse than hearing people try to play Uematsu in ways that completely alter the mood. You captured the mood and breath of each song proper and I tip my hat to you good sir. As a guitarist myself I also gotta say your technique is spectacular, I wish I had classical lessons growing up lol
Um hi I absolutely love your FF arrangements. You are the best!
Aeriths Theme is so beautiful, I’m always happy to hear it but I feel a deep sadness on the back end. I did cry like a baby when I played the 3rd disc in 97.
My favorite: Breezy 54:49
Hi John. I really enjoy your MUSIC. What would be a good classical guitar for a mid range player ? Id like to transition to this style. Thank you. And keep posting !! 🙂
素晴らしい☺
Thank you for this. I needed it. Life is a rollercoaster right now and this helped.
You made a 32 yo man cry. Thank you for this.
Chills.. Taking me right back to the games of my youth. Thank you!
Fisherman’s Horizon hit me hard, thank you 💖
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rO3KeISFVzQ
This may be my favorite Final Fantasy music video of all time. Thank you for this. It brings peace and happiness when I need them most.
This really chilled me out and brought back memories for me!! I don’t play class gtar but this makes me want to put down my Ibinez and give it a shot🤘🤘
大好きなゲームの曲を、日本以外の方にこのように演奏していただけて大変嬉しいです
What’s your favorite final fantasy soundtrack and why is it from final fantasy 8?
Absolutely terrible. He didn’t even lick the guitar head once, nor did he fondle the nut. But, I guess, thumbs-up for the music.
Beautiful, very relaxing music. Gorgeous guitar playing. ♥
So memories
So awesome ! this my nighttime playlist before bed !
Incredible work! where can i find the sheet music?
Nobuo Uematsu is a genius, these songs made these games so memorable. Good job man! Aerith’s theme always makes me want to cry and your grinning on Those Who Fight Further is great.
I never heard something beautiful like this by playing guitare and final fantasy music. I love these video games. Thanks for the amazing sounds for my ears. So work is much more easier to do. Everything getting easy by listening your playing. Thank you.
Beautiful! 💜
Absolutely 🖤 beautiful 🖤
Thank you.
Impressive playing. Very captivating. Thanks for sharing.
This is lovely ❤️❤️
Amazing, man! Keep it up!
I love that you gave lonlonjp credit in one of the arrangements, that guy was a legend, now you’re the FF cover legend on YouTube
Rip kilika
weird no costa del sol from ff7. Its basically the only classical guitar song in the game.
Wow, really beautiful. Thank you so much for this.
May I know the tuning that you used? I think it is not the standard guitar tuning 😀
Thank you so much for making this. The Promise from FFXIII really warms my heart. It’s like everyone meets again in their new life. ( congrats to live in this social anxiety world )
Thank you for this man! Great to listen to while working <3
This deserves a like and a subscribe!
beautifully played
This is a long shot, but any chance you could supply any tabs for this?
i slowed the playback to 0.8x. i like a slower pace.
Impressionante.. verdadeiramente incrível
Liquid paper side dots? 😉
The only thing i can say is thank you, thank you for this.
Can’t believe it sounds so good on just an acoustic guitar. Wonderfully done good sir!
Do you do original compositions also? I am making an indie game and dig the classical guitar vibe which goes well with the fantasy western style of the game.
if only they used this version of kiss me goodbye in the game.
I had never heard Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves until this compilation as I had never played X-2. Wow. What a perfect, beautiful, heavy, (maybe haunting?) melody. Feels like it occupies the same space as Gut’s Theme by Susumu Hirasawa. As a former guitarist, I’m floored by the fluidity with which you play it. For some reason it reads as particularly difficult. I listen to this collection every single day as I work. It’s also a perfect fit in my opinion to read manga like Vagabond. I’m extremely grateful you devoted your life to making music. You’re the best!
Hearing the first song always opens a portal to nostalgia and good times. Amazing.
Sudden urge to play FF8 after listening to this
Just amazing thanks for sharing
This is amazeballs I had this play and non gamers or non final fanatsy lovers heard it and loved it and enjoyed it.
Loving this!!!! Thank you for keeping me calm during my work days! Lol 😂 So many memories! 🥺🥰
<3
Seems like 9 year old me was 100% destined to see this video ever since he booted up that PS1 and tried FF7 for the first time. A staple of my childhood. “Aerith’s Theme” will always tug a string in my heart 💔
Absolutely masterful. Thank you so much for providing this beautiful, nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Say Hi to Ron Swanson for me, next time you see him.
this is amazing. you play flawlessly. Much love for the ffx and VIII tracks. Deserves much more views
Thanks for sharing this masterpiece with us. These themes mean a lot to me, and I’m pretty sure it means a lot for everyone that have heard each track of this franchise. ❤
Final fantasy forever.
ギターで聞くと、ドーガのテーマがやたらにキーが高くなることが分かる。訳の分からんばけもんとわしも一緒にやっちまうんじゃ!何故!?その悲しさが音になったんじゃないかと思う。叙事詩。しかし、宮廷やらで、サーガを本当に奏でているようでしたね。凄いです。
These are all beautiful and I envy your skills from Hell and back!
1 Corinthians 3:6-8 King James Version
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planet any thing, neither he that bathwater; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planet and he that water are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.
NOTHING BUT AMAZING, OUTSTANDING,BEAUTIFUL.
Thank you for pouring river of water on my parched guitar playing. You showed me the possibilities of what is out there and I am looking for in my own playing…. Blessing!
I came cause I thought that was henry Cavil and stayed for the awesome music
This is hands-down one of the most wonderful and amazing things I’ve ever found on YouTube. Really hits the nostalgia chords for me getting into the FFVI overworld theme followed by the Falcon airship music.
Amazing, some of this made the hairs on my arm stand up ^_^.
I recently picked up guitar after listening to this video. Your work is inspiring. I wish you didn’t skip over Final Fantasy XI because there are some very beautiful pieces on there. I think you’ll take a liking to Sanctuary of Xi’Tah and other great songs on there. Keep doing your thing!
tu , aqui , hace 2 años … y me entero ahora !!!!BD
Not gonna lie – I cried a lot while listening to this. You’re so damn good, dude.
you are an artist !!! I see your face, and you really enjoy the sound! It is a pleasure to see and hear the magic that your hands and your guitar produce, thank you very much from Spain !!
Great thing about FF is that everybody has their own nostalgic tie to either of the games. My favorite game and song of all time is FF8 and eyes on me. I grew up with that game so it has a strong bond to my heart.
love it, so nostalgic
лайк не раздумывая
Wow. 1:04:07 I close my eyes and I’m instantly transported back in time 20 years, and I find myself with this exact same facial expression. This is a masterpiece.
Not enough FFIV and FFVI music 🙁
2 LIKES 😁😁
Great to see some genuine classical guitar playing. Awesome bro!
I am Japanese. Your performance is wonderful
Ngl, this is so beautiful it made me cry. Thank you for doing this.
Well done! You really know you instrument. Balamb Garden is my favorite, so damn good.
Soooo freaking goooood
You had me at 0:03!
Got to Vamo Alla Flamenco and now I know this guy is a fucking wizard.
would put an extra thumb up if I coul, great job!!! How emotional gets me hearing ff8 track like that, really beautiful part of my youth
absolutely amazing!! thank you<333
All i can say is amazing amazing amazing, lots and lots of memories.
我聽的雞皮疙瘩都起來了 太厲害了
I LOVE this but so sad that there’s nothing from ff14 😭😭😭😭❤❤
I love the Town music
We you play Eyes On Me intro, why I hear strings sound in my head? XD
From one guitarist to another – this is absolutely stunning, humbling, and inspiring. One might say your tone is ~crystal~ clear.
Thank you! Love the lonlonjp representation too.
ff4 테마곡은 언제 들어도 명곡이야
훌륭한 연주 감사합니다
I’m going through a divorce and I’ve been playing this as background music throughout my day. it’s helped me remain chill, along with remind me of my childhood and times of happiness. Having this available to me has actually been quite priceless. Great work!
Thank you
Nothing from XI? There are plenty of sheer awesome songs there too …please check them out 🙂
BEAUTIFUUUUL
It’s like he has fifteen fingers
I am Japanese. I was playing old FF in real time.
This video is great. It reminds me of the emotions of the past.
I thank you for the fate of meeting your video tonight.
Thank you for this video, must had taken you a crazy long amount of time to do this. You effectively opened my floodgate of memories.. Continue the great work!
This was beautiful, though I would love to see your FFXIV music in here. Still amazing though!
How your guitar is tuned on first music?
I have never played a 3D FF, (FF VI -1994- was my last one, so you do the math!) but this collection was too well put and too well played to pass up! Thank you!
素敵な演奏をありがとうございます。
私が今まで聴いたファイナルファンタジーの曲の中で、最も心を動かされた演奏です。
♥
Good
Cosmo Canyon – лучший, погрузил меня в воспоминания.
You make me wanna learn finger-picking <3
Love it
Thanks Mr. Oeth
Outstanding work right there! Awesome!
We need a bard in FF14. hit me up.
Immense talent. Some tracks felt a bit off though.
I know a variable tempo is part of classical music (and all genres to a lesser extent) but it was pretty jarring in Prelude and the Chocobo theme, for example.
Just love it! Greetings from South America 🙇🏻♂️
You’re a warrior, Mr. Oeth! what a champ!
Man, thank you so much for this. It sounded beautiful. So many memories. Hope you are fine.
P.D: Have you played something from Chrono Cross, Chrono Trigger or Xenogears?
Edit: Yeah you did! Thanks for those too.
演奏してくれてありがとう!!素晴らしいです👍
Amazing… Do you sell the sheet music?
que demais!!
now this is the kinda guy id take out to dinner
Wow, I never thought Searching for Friends would sound so good on the guitar!!
Nice Timbre, Bravo Performance!
Em sois casado? 😆 saludos.
How am i just hearing this, man, i cried at parts of this remembering times in my childhood with these games, ff2 and ff5 we some of my favorites final fantasy games in large part for the music.
Beautiful interpretation of Frontier Village Dali, i can’t stop crying ! thank’s for this nostaligic moment John.
1:04:07 best song out of all FF osts prove me wrong
best cover I’ve ever watched!
This is amazing how
Found your video from a FF14 community page and I’m very glad I did you play amazing! BUT I noticed XI did not have a spot in this video and that’s understandable not a lot of people could have enjoyed that game at the time of its release being the first FFMMO I looked into your other videos and saw you did a cover of selbina and Ronfaure but you have not done a cover of the best song in the game The Sanctuary of Zi’Tah (All XI players would agree) I hope to hear you cover it one day it is an amazing piece!
Amazing adaptations and performance! I’m listening while working. Good vibes
Beautiful pacing
This is gorgeous. The only criticism I have so far while listening to it is that the prelude is a tad too fast. I doubt I’ll find anything else to complain about 😀
the whole thing was nice. i’d kill for an extended rose of may, the feeling is perfect
I see youtube recommendations I click I like and subscribe =)
Can you play silence before the storm, FFX?
Bruh I am impressed
Wish u Luck
Truly masterful.
why you skip the MMOs tho, FFXI and FFXIV have great music
that OPENING
1:30:00 was really beatyfull eh?
I love this John. You’ve chosen the best arrangements of what you didn’t have and seemed to have made the very best of the rest. I love this pretty much all the way through. Thank you so much for this content and making it free. You’re truly a gifted player.
Thank you for staying true to the melodies in your arrangements, they’re simple but quite beautiful 🙂
man is an absolute legend!
OMG this is my new afterwork playlist…. it is so relaxing
maravilloso … wonderful… and great songs…..
I wanted to add your music to one of my Pandora stations, but your name was not listed. I hear that is how most classical style artist make their money, so you may want to look into it.
John, thank you so much for playing video game guitar covers and arrangements. These meant a lot to me. Just to share my story, My left hand was unable to play guitar anymore. I had an accident so I can’t play guitar. But I saw this. Tho, I cannot hold a guitar, thanks for making my dream come true. I really want to play these pieces and thank you for that.
Man he makes it look so easy
my god this is so amazing. you have such talent. i listen to this while working.
ah, so good!
¡Felicitaciones, que hermoso haces hablar a la guitarra!
@1:17:14 the best
I don’t know, which is more impressing: A game-producer, that charters composers to create soOOOoo much professional music, or a nerdy musician, who dares to transcribe and learn it all on one instrument! Also nice to c a guitarplayer using his fingernails. Ur doin’ it alright, man. ^^
Very impressing whole a** full of work done flawless as far as I can hear. Relaxing….memory-awakening of hours of play, when I never really actively cared for the music.
Hats up for John Oeth!!!
I’m not gay at all but when you played Cosmo Canyon…. bro…
O my! is this beautiful! I hope you have played these games.
amazing. picked all the best songs as well. thank you!
You s.o.b, I’m in. (buys FF7 for the 5th time)
Beautiful
Protect this man at all costs
The lack of the online numbered FF (11&14) games here is DISTURBING being that they have arguably some of the BEST tracks in the whole franchise. Still superb playing and performance! bravo sir!
This is beautiful! 🙂
Cool idea and great playing. Kind of makes me wish I played final fantasy or had heard this music ever before.
Great pure music!
ARIGATO from Japan !!
Beautiful!
you make it look too easy
Remarkable talent- such elegant touch you have, good sir. Truly magnificent sound. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful skill with the world. And if anyone can’t see the sardonic nature of my other comment/request, that’s on you lol
Your renditions are beautiful. Subscribed
If I had your ability and a baby I would play most of the songs here to make him/her sleep. They sound freaking beautiful.
19:05 Chocobo Theme (Final Fantasy Series) arr. Minamizawa
you could totally tell looking forward to this ionic songgggg <3
Any reason you chose not to include anything from 14? Uematsu and Soken both did an absolutely amazing job with the soundtrack. Regardless, your version of “Eyes on Me” is excellent. Thanks for this.
omg, this is so much good! thank you for uploading this masterpiece Mr. Oeth 🙂
If ff would have a remake, they should make this guy play the bgm
Mate this is fantastic!
Amazing, Thank you so much!!!
GOOD GOOD
BOSS. You’re a F-in LEGEND. thank you for uploading very clearly how to play too so I can learn eventually 🙂
I love this collection, thank you very much 🙂
ggS! great stuff <3
I am not crying… IM NOT… damn it… NO IM NOT.. your the ones who are crying! Its not like Im hearing the soundtrack of my entire childhood or anything… your the ones who are crying! IM NOT! i SWEAR.,.. iM,… IM N… iM NOT im not crying….
Wow.. this was quite a time machine. So many flashbacks from VII on. Thanks for the ride.
Apparently crying is what I’m going to do today for some reason. Really beautiful covers.
Cannot like this enough – out standing work and talent!
Not to mention that your version of “eyes on me” is easily the best one I’ve heard ever. And I’m always looking for new artists who redo my favorite game soundtracks
I’m crying 😭 these are so beautiful!!
Honestly why do so many people talk shit about FF8
I love seeing how much passion and enjoyment went into this video. Any talented artist can play these songs and have it sound good, but you can tell that you had a great time playing each piece and that gives the music so much more behind it. Thank you so much for sharing it with us all.
I’ve heard lot of covers. But yours just ring the bell. Damn.
I’ve been listening to this for months now ! Incredible work, very relaxing and motivating when making gamedev stuff.
Congrats on the almost 1M views !
But no Xi or xiv 🙁 but that’s OK. Great work!
ybrother. You are friendFinal Fantasy 7, m
You are curing my depression, thanks.
You Sir has successfully took me back to my childhood time when Playing FF in the living room everyday and every night even when tomorrow morning I need to getup early for school, still I sneak into the living room playing it without turning the lights on and with low volume. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for your beautiful playing 😁 I’m feeling quite anxious and overwhelmed lately and this amazing video helps me to deal with it immensely. Seeing you really feel, express and enjoy the music i also love so much means a lot to me 🌥️🌤️☀️
Cosmo canyon was so spectacular i was speechless for a while. Enhorabuena maestro

Hi John, I just want to say: Thanks for your time to reach this masterpiece of video. Much love from Chile big dog 🙂
Thank you.
Thank you for putting a ton of your time and efforts in order to deliver us this beautiful musical experience. You sir deserve more views! 🙂

Amazing
One should be able to press the like button more times…
👏👏👏
That is one sweet sounding guitar.
42:13, no need to thank me
Dude, you’ve got a lot of shirts!!!
I’m a dedicated guitarist and am really surprised that I’ve never heard of you.
Your playing is superb, and I like the approach with your right hand.
There are enough pieces here to make up an entire recital. What you’re doing here is really excellent.
You’re probably bringing a new audience (gamers?) to our beloved instrument, and for that I salute you sir.
Now, I’m going to check out the rest of your work.
So good.
Working late into the night daily this was a most welcome find. Amazing playing!
A friend of mine introduced me to your channel. In 2009-2010 era, I loved an artist on here called lonlonjp. He did spanish guitar songs to all my old favourite video game music. The old artist’s channel got deleted mysteriously and I never realized how much this vibe was missing from my life until the discovery of your channel. Thank you for bringing music to the world, it is appreciated more than you know!
I was blown away as soon as the strains of Prelude started. Then I started to tear up when Prologue played. I full on cried when I heard your rendition of Theme of Love.
This was spectacular. Thank you for sharing, John. You play tremendously well.
Sincerely, an FF fan who feels really happy and blessed to have found this video. Take care, and if you can, kindly regale us with more of your music. 🙂
Impresionante, las mejores piezas musicales de la saga Final Fantasy. 🥰
Parabens meu amigo, me fez lembrar da infancia
Incrivel
Great work, thank you for your amazing acoustic renditions!
Increíble!
That VII Main Theme was incredible. Fantastic work!
you deserve a like!
のばら
Очень красиво. Отличная коллекция. Спасибо за исполнение!
Cosmo Canyon is so much deeper when done like this.
I love this so much.
casi me mie cuando empezo TO ZANARKAND
madly underrated. my eyes got teary a lot of times going through this video. fantastic work <3
damn,.. you went those songs…
OMGGGG !!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Excellent. I learned a few tunes myself during PlayStation loading screens.
Giving props to the original composer.
https://youtu.be/0rcV-KzouZw
https://youtu.be/yc32Znoj8dk
Notably absent, are any tracks from FFXI or FFXIV, yet FFXV gets a bit of representation. I wonder why? 🤔
John is such a gifted player, it’s a shame those weren’t included.
I was like “nice guitar I think I’ll look up how much it costs”…….😅 fuuuuuuq but so sweet!
You are so incredibly gifted to grace the guitar the way you do with Final Fantasy songs. Dig! Beautiful sound. I look forward to more projects you do.
Прекрасно! Хоть я и не проходила игру, и не знаю оригиналов композиций, но это так круто, что теперь стало интересно глянуть игру. Спасибо за проникновенную музыку! 😊❤️❤️❤️
I have been listening to this on Spotify for a while now but I had no idea there was a video of you playing the whole thing! Very impressed, fantastic job! How long did it take you to record all takes?
2021st comment !
ah…I’m trying to work, but now I just want to play FF!
この動画はもっと拡散されて良いと思います。
素晴らしい演奏です。
なお、1:16:36からザナルカンドです。
I think he might be a Final Fantasy fan.
Amazing piece of work.
Can you do same for Chrono Cross & Chrono Trigger?
1:49:17
This is very well done. Thank you for your dedication and passion, it totally kicks ass!
Beautiful… just beautiful! <3
Cosmo Canyon was amazing
Masterful.
Terra’s theme hit me so hard.
nostalgic oh my childhood how i miss
thank you.. thank you so much…
You just fulfilled a little kids dream, this is impressive. Thank you, trully for making this happen, it means a lot to a lot of us out here.
And just like that, anxiety all gone
Newer to the channel and this auto played after some others. Its phenomenal stuff dude!! Bravo!!
Emocionante
Hero!
Incredible
GENIUS!!
nossa, como é bom escutar e tem puros momentos de nostalgia. sem falar que vc é incrível tocando. PARABÉNS!!!
Tu ejecución de estas obras midi, me abstraen del exterior, del ruido, del tráfico y de la jungla de hierros que es mi ciudad. Gracias. Gracias de verdad.
that’s some beautiful playing. i especially like the final fantasy 8 ones, because they don’t get a lot of attention. so they are a rare treat.
That vamo’ alla flamenco solo.. :O
So impressive. So inspiring. Thank you. Stay blessed.
bro your my hero
‘
I cannot stress enough how well you covered the ff9 ost. Thank you mate
1:16:35 why this melody always feels so special and sad
Grown men and women cried @35:35
I never comment or subscribe on youtube. I just think its amazing that you are playing lonlonjp arrangements and credited him. Fantastic performances. 10/10
Amazing! Final Fantasy Tactics please! 🙏🙏
um yes
beautifulll, great work
I got married to Theme of Love! Beautiful rendition
I clicked on Angry Video Game Nerd playing on a guitar, are you happy now, Youtube Algorithm?
OOh balamb gaaaaarden <3
Absolutely stunning 🌹
subtitle: man shows off impressive shirt collection
Thats fantastic man, tks for this. I bet you could do something amazing also with the crono cross set
não sabia que bruno zaggo era violeiro
Wow !!! It’s truly amazing !
FF4의 사천왕 테마와 보스 배틀 테마가 없어서 너무 아쉽다
I m glad your video pop up. It’s been an hour of listening to you and it just went away like nothing . Mixture of nostalgia and good memories .
Thanks to exist man.
26:05 my all time favourite
I am in love 🥰
Amazing skill. Love it.
Impossible! The Red Mage is a ranger, not a bard. Get out of here with your non-synthesized music!
My best friend recently passed away, he and I would always hum and sing all the ff songs together, he was very good with singing and making music and remembering so much 🎵🎶. I not so much but always loved hearing him sing and humming these songs. As I sit here watching you masterfully play I can hear him still. Almost as if hes humming along, it’s a good and personal feeling it touched me. Thanks for your elegant video and masterful skill
This is so relaxing! Thank you for the great music.
Mister can you do Chocobo Racing melodies please if possible. I love Mogri Forest the most.
What a beautiful collection – great work and thank you!
Amazing.
It is now my goal to upload a similar thing – piano style!
I have to say I’m so blown away by this. Thank you for being you and blessing us with this amazing performance. Cheers my friend!
I never loved this instrument more than after watching your videos, just amazing !
最高だよ、兄貴!
とても優しい音色に感動。
幼い頃からFFに親しんできたのもあり、各シリーズと現実の思い出がリンクして、より込み上げてくるものがありました。
酒を飲みながらずっと静かに聞いていたい。
this is honestly my go-to background music for studying! as they say when you study and make it fun you retain more and having this as my background music I find that it does help since I grew up with FF and has always been fun experience! thanks a lot!
THank you John for your sharing , love it!
I really love your take on the Minamizawa arrangements! Great, clear playing and tone! Really helpful for my own study:)
I love all of them, but aerith theme is too beautiful 🥲
my reaction first second of the video “omg thats amazing!”
It’s my breakdown and I get to choose the music!
I loved FFVI. Great story with an awesome soundtrack.
Final Fantasy IX and Final Fantasy X are two of my favorite games of all time. Vamo Alla Flamenco, Roses of May, Melodies of Life, To Zanarkand, and Suteki Da Ne are also some of my favorite pieces of music of all time. Simply, I’m BAFFLED that I haven’t found your channel before, and that you don’t have a larger following! You are incredible and you’ve brought these pieces to life!
flawless performance! this concert is a a pure joy to listen to thank you!
🙂👍
youre an offical guitar bro
1:11:15 Best Final Fantasy song in my opinion
liked and subscribed ..
Fantastic Mate! FF IX so nostalgic!
👏
This took me far a long, lovely ride down Memory Lane. Much thanks.
you’re gonna carry that weight….
i love FF and i love your performance Sir.
I didn’t know a guitar can do that. Amazing
とても綺麗な音色ですね。 so brilliant.
This is incredible, John. Thanks so much for sharing this with us all! Can I ask which of these tracks is your favourite, if you had to pick one? Sorry if you’ve already been asked this.
so beautiful! please squeeze in find your way!
Harrd
I’ve never played FF3 but that dark crystals song gave me chills.
Me gustaría tener presentes cada una da las pistas de aquí, pero no es así, sigo siendo una persona solitaria, que vio en este mundo un refugio, de eso solo reminiscencias quedan, como si de otra vida se tratara, viví atreves de esas historias queriendo ser un héroe para alguien, imagino que esta aventura llamada vida aun no termina.. vdd. solo seguiré adelante.
Done, shared it on Twitter to my 996 followers, it might not give a lot, but they are mostly writers, gamers and a lot of them love Final Fantasy almost as much as I do… almost…
this evokes a great sense of nostalgia in me. I am going to share this far and wide now.
🤯OmS this is awesome
This was AMAZING
Tifa’s theme, Aerith’s theme, and Jessie’s theme just hit a Lil different after the Remake.
Bro, am not crying, you are crying.
I was looking for something to listen to while I work and calm myself down, and I think I found it. I’ve been stressing myself out so badly this week, and this music is really helping. Thank you for these lovely renditions of beautiful Final Fantasy songs. You are very talented and I hope that you play some Final Fantasy 14 songs someday. If not, that’s fine. This will hold me for a good long while.
VAMO ALLA FLAMEEENCOOOOOO
I’m a big fan of the final fantasy series and this medley is beautiful 😍 thank you
So well played is amazing how music can touch the soul…
Thanks for your mesmerizing concert is beautiful in so many ways.
the best cover ever of FF! thanks for your playing
Keren sekali. Enak banget dengerinnya.. .
Who’s here for cosmo canyon ??
Lenna’s theme (OMG)!
composed by Nobuo Uematsu
That man has made me live so much emotion through his composition, thanks for the video and congrats, this is so much work.
A big accomplishment of playing all of that in a single session
Beautiful emotions and sound!
Love from Mexico 💫
John, this was amazing…tremendous skills man… oddly enough i do fairly well at the piano but fingering on my yamaha eterna was horrible LOL
btw… when are you planning to cover: Hopping Mad? :3
I’d like to know more if you have collection for chrono cross and chrono trigger <3
Absolute pleasure to listen to thank you
Thank you so much, amazing work!!!
Perfeito!!! Parabéns mano!!!! Sensacional!!! Lindo!!! ♥
感動しました。すごい!!!
so beautiful.
Fuckin MAsterpiece
breezy looks easy to play
is that why its called breezy
Real clean playing, and a great list of arrangements. I’ve done a few arrangement myself, but never taken the time to notate them out.
Why do I only find you now? I’ve been looking for FF guitar for a very long time.. I will cherish this video, replay this video and get high on every nostalgic feeling that hit my face (occasionally get in fight with Onion cutting Ninjas on FFIX and FFX part)
1:04:07 OMFG bro!!!!!! I fcking loved it!!! <3
oh my, this is amazing! Nice work.
Art
Makes me wanna get back to the game. Hopefully I dun get so emo n cry again.
This is excellent, what talent!
Just finished. That was beautiful and so relaxing, exactly what I needed today. Very impressive playing, as a FF music lover I must say this is exquisitely performed!
Also, I’m so glad you did X-2 and XIII those have the best soundtracks!
what one is your favorite ? mine is melodies of life
The FFX is really hitting for me, you did so well with the whole soundtrack and besides that, great song selection! Thank you
I hope more people could hear this
This is beautiful, my friend. It’s just a shame that you skipped XIV… a true final fantasy and one of the bests. But it’s okay! Thank you for this amazing video by the way XD
Put this in your ear, look up to the sky and know you are important and someone loves you ❤
Close your eyes, imagine rinoa and squall in the flower field..eyes on me..shiver
Searching for Friends — chillzz~~~ great interpretation.
The ossified dry specifically serve because dedication scully wonder abaft a satisfying eagle. macho, jittery halibut
This music is beautiful. Currently trying to play all of the final fantasy’s Thanks for the music. I am using it to study and it helps me push through. 🙂
I listen to this every day while studying and working.
fantastic

Finally something me and my cat can agree too.
This is so calming and nostalgic. Amazing playing!
素晴らしいです!ありがとう!
Just Perfect! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi hi! This is wonderfully performed! Thanks! It made my workday really calm.
No love for FFXI or FFXIV?!! Killing me, smalls.
depois de tomar este Elixir, revigorei totalmente minhas memorias!!
Amazing. I love all of these interpretations. Particularly the Chocobo music! I bet you had fun doing that one 😉
Impressive. Thanks for your effort. Really nice
Queen Brahne was impressed!
You’re doing a wonderful job. I listen to the music next to writing my novel. Very inspiring.
FFVIII had some of the best music of the franchise.
9 songs from FFVII, someone definitely has just a bit of bias 😀 But seriously, To Zanarkand gets me every.single.time. Well Done.
This is so peaceful. I put this video on my TV and fall asleep to it. Absolutely love your music man!
love it, slightly disappointed at no FFXIV music as that has one of the best soundtracks in the series, but is constantly overlooked for being an mmo
are there any tabs for these songs? id like to learn em
Thank you for putting your heart into this.
Greetings, fellow classical guitarist!
Nobody:
1:28:42
Tan taraan tan taraan taraan.
Love it.
Brings up so much memories. Thank you very much sir!!
mesmerizinggggggggggggggggggggggggggg
눈물 날 정도로 좋습니다
I bought this album yesterday on Apple Music.
Thank you for the beautiful music.
You’ve added a genuine nice touch to this world. Hope I can contribute like you one day! 🙂
Well, I have to say that this was really relaxing and nice to listen to your guitar while working from home. Thanks for this moment. You are talented
Thanks for your time, you and your guitar help me to sleep, the music of FF is so relaxing
Very nice
That nostalgic feeling rushing in especially at 6:56. Back then as a kid playing FFII, I will always leave the game on while in town just so the song will play on repeat and imagining that I am in that world. I miss those leisure days 🙁
This is gold.
Amazing video !
I got shivers when I heard Memory of Lightwaves, I didn’t expect that song.
I love final fantasy music, the songs are just magical and your covers are amazing. Makes me want to pick guitar again and learn them, thank you!!
Muito obrigado.
I was waiting the whole time on cosmo canyon damn that place had a song that went so hard
Thank you for making this. It’s very calming and nice to listen to while drawing
just wow
Nice relaxing trip back to the good old times.
Perfect as a BGM while I work on other stuffs.
What an amazing arrangement
You are awesome man, thank you.
criiii how i love every minutes listen to this 🐼 thankyouu!
This is a great collection! I wish FFXI and FFXIV also made it in. They have wonderful songs too.
Searching for friends sounds SO good. I wish I had the talent and patience to learn it. Beautifully done
i jumped to FFX
All were great but that Vamo alla Flamenco and Valse di Fantastica are on a league of their own…. I’m assuming there’s no music from FFXIV because you’re gonna do a standalone video with that many themes right?
😯
Phenomenal barely scratches the surface… but we’ll use that adjective to describe this till a better one is invented 🙂
This is art, this is culture
I Lol’d Pretty Hard Then The Exp Window Music Played After Vii’s Battle Theme 😂.
I was reading some Magic The Gathering novels with your music as background. Totally in!!! Thanks and congratulations for the great work ^^
Amazingl
Very peacefully, chill 👌🏻
FF9 is a masterpiece from its music to game play to story…
Managing to convey the same emotion with a guitar alone. pure brilliance.
yeah l dont think your mom paid your guitar lessons for this…
JRPG의 근본이 되는 파판7의 OST입니다.
Just missing Kids Run Through the City Corner.
what an exceptional video! bravo 👏
素晴らしい演奏をありがとうございます。FFは大好きなので泣きました。
That Terra theme interpretation of yours just rocks! Awesome work, hats off.
56:21 Fisherman’s Horizon♥️
Tifa’s theme got me deep…Thanks I loved this compilation. You put soul in these covers.
I never knew these songs could be played on the guitar. So well played and I love each and every song.
This is so beautifully played. Thank you
gave me goose bumps…
THIS IS BEAUTIFUUUULLL I’m gonNa spend so much time learning the songs now! THANK YOUU!!
Watching this, it almost sounds like all these songs were composed for guitar. If I didn’t know all of them, I would surely think so…
Gorgeous. So true, so pure… Each note caresses the heart with the right poetry. ❤
Excellent!
A masterpiece! Thank you so much for this. Your amazing playing took me back to my childhood when I was playing these FF games 🙂
ohhh…eyes on me…..
Amazing dude! What an outstanding job you did here! Congratulations!
Amazing! Final Fantasy music is so beautifull and you are great for learning all these, although half effortlessly I am sure 😉 Great!
Beautiful performance! Tifa theme makes me cry.
Really nice tribute of to the best series of RPG ever made. Here a moonstone for you….lol
Wow, simply incredible
as a guitarist and ff fan, being in my mid 30s, this moves me to tears. there is no magic in this world, but music comes rather close
This compilation just popped up on my suggested watches while I was watching other stuff. I am so very glad I clicked through. I have been buying and listening to music from Final Fantasy for as long as there have been Final Fantasy games. Early on it was just the original and a few official recordings with real instruments. Recently I’ve been helping out at my church with the sound and I’ve gotten a new appreciation for how difficult it is to capture sound well. The audio on this is a combination of so many things I love, good quality recording, great skill with the guitar, and Final Fantasy music. Thank you for doing this I am enjoying it immensely.
That first song would be quite the warm up
I don’t know why but the second music brought me such a American feeling
This is beautiful!
Great, interpretation of all the pieces just one detail, you should upload this video again this time with the name of the song and the game from which this comes from those players who do not know all the musical content or have not had the opportunity to play all the volumes of this saga, from then on nothing to say is a gem your video. Thanks!!
Beautiful playing 🙂 I love Daisuke’s arrangements, but I prefer them on nylon 🙂
Memory of lightwaves felt like I was in Besaid while Wakka was making fun of Tidus and Lightning? haha 🙂 weird vision! Great job, John! 🙂 Fun to grind (play and work) while listening to these soothing versions of beautiful music from Square/Enix 🙂 Subscribing!
Just got shivers listening to Aerith’s theme.. had to stop what I was doing to appreciate this version in its fullest. Amazing work! All other arrangements are masterful as well!
CHILZ!
magnifique et ça met larme à l’œil pour la nostalgie de certaines
クラシックギターってこんなに素敵な物だったんですね!癒やされる(´・ω・`)
Really impressive!!!!!!!
FF não e só um jogo e pura arte, quando estava na Squaresoft
素晴らしすぎた
This is so well done.
I will listen to this over and over
WHY!??!?…. After a whole “year” did YouTube show me this now!?! Wonderful playing… excellent! It makes this FF fan tear up and loop this!
Final fantasy 1,2,7,9 is best for me.
Awesome!Can I get the guitar tabs of those songs when I join in your patreon? (Maybe level “Patron”)
3 words to live by.
Final Fantasy Forever.

Whaaa no celes’s opera theme? Lol jk im not sure that can be done on a guitar good job though
This is great background music while I am working from home!
oh so perfect, so beautiful. Amazing job 🙂
Its so great. Choice is best for FF users.
I can listen this vid for ever!
thanks for beautiful guitar collection man, autosubscribe and like. Support!
Tifa’s theme on guitar is always so wonderfully warm. I never get tired of it.
The place I’ll return to someday just fits so well with classical guitar that sent goosebumps all over my body.
Edit: all of FFIX’s songs listed here, actually. The baroque tone in them is delightful!
Thank you for this.
45:38 Love this song! It’s amazing.
40:50 Bravo!!!!
Hehe, X-2 is in but not XI or XIV. That sucks.
LOL he actually got sunk into ” To Zanarkana”. Just look at his emotion. Legend
Your versions from FF15 are so well done. They were my absolute favs!!! Thank you!!!
I am very impressed and satisfied how you present the classical guitar to the world. Thank you!!!!!!
Extremely great, how I enjoy it, and how I love that many people listen to these songs like me😊
This is my favorite rendition of Final Fantasy music out of everything I could find. Rock on man. Beautiful work.
I love watching him smile as he plays. It’s like he’s remembering all the good times playing the game
It took me almost a year to find this. What a rough year it’s been, you know? I mean, for all of us.
Huge dose of nostalgia and soothing in a time I think all of us could really appreciate it. Thank you for sharing this with the world, and for taking the time to do so in such a polished and pure way. It’s outside of my immediate skill range, but I hope you’ll accept the compliment that this is what I’ll be trying to learn next.
You, sir, deserve millions upon millions of views.
This goes right up to the top of the list! Best I’ve heard on YouTube so far. I can’t complain but Matoya’s Cave would have been killer 🙂
Такое великолепие, тонкая игра и нет комментария на нашем родном. Да, это неправильно, ведь мастер не поймёт, но всё же… И у нас ценят серию игр последней фантазии. И мы любим слушать хорошую музыку. Добра вам, мастер с гитарой.
This was totally majestic. THANK YOU for letting my ears have such a 2 hours wonderful pleasure. Got no more words to you
Such skills 😳
A que weno, me meo.
wow, i can play Memory of Lightwaves on piano, but it sounds no where as near as good
Listened to this from end to end in the car today and plan to do so many more times. Well done.
So wonderful
FF8 in memoried of me
凄すぎワロタw
Very nice
45:05 cosmos canyon is the best!
The game, the story, the music in FF VII are in my heart forever
I can’t believe you skipped ffxiv: (
imagine putting X-2 but not XIV
Please play besaid
I so want to hear you perform “You Are Not Alone” from Final Fantasy IX. Might be my favorite FF song ever, and I want to hear your version! xD
Men …. your FU*?&$/%? AMAZING .. Magnifique Bravo !
Wow. This is so awesome!
no ff14 huh
😮
Fun fact: This is one of the only YouTube videos to have a completely useless dislike button.
Edit: I spoke too soon, now every YouTube video has a useless dislike button…
As a fellow guitar learner, all I can say is that you are the God of Guitars.
Really impressed by your finger skills.
Sooooo calming… thank you for uploading 🥺🙏🏻 💛
This is so good, wow! I feel like I’m going on a journey with lots of struggles and occasional moments of peace gazing out at the stars at night.
The first song is one of my favorites from FF X. Hit the slap button already
優しい音色…ずっと聴いてられる。柔らかくて睡眠にいいかも。
This collection is lovely!
ありがとうございます。一言で十分from Japan
Melodies of Life makes me cry
Love the smug look on his face with ff7 those who fight.
It is literally a crime against humanity this guy only has 19.4k subs as of the writing of this comment…..spread this great music around folks!
You are an absolute master of your craft and I am grateful you took the time to make this.
At 45 min in, I don’t believe it. Incredible. Absolutely FEEL it.
The fact that FFXI and FFXIV have no representation is disappointing…. Soken has contributed some of the best pieces the series has seen.. Listen to “Answers”, “Who Brings Shadow” and many others.
Thanks for sharing those wonderful guitar covers… It does add a lot to the nostalgeek feeling.
Well done! o/
Chrystal chronicles please
👍
Wow. Very impressive.
Really nice sound! Surprised you didn’t go for the last boss track in FF8, since it has an acoustic guitar. Did it just not reduce well once it get metal-y?
As of the moment I click this video I had no idea who you are, but 2 seconds in and I’m already in love with you man.
This is a bless to our world.
For “Prelude,” did you tune your guitar in an alternate tuning? Thank you.
Tifa’s theme is better than Aeirth’s theme, and not because Tifa is better (she is), but because it’s better 😛
58:40 i love it
The intro gave me chills! Beautiful work here!
please make Chrono Cross 2 collection ty
素敵です✨from Japan👏
I like Eyes on me🎶
That’s great work. You played really nicely.
Humbled4gratitude8appreciation
m breathing how
Absolutely wonderful.
Man, I’m astonished with your work! You took it to a new level, never reached before! Amazing! I’m praying you share the tabs lol! Again you should be proud of what you did! See ya!
This was a real treat. Thank you for this
Awesome bro
Damn man….Terra’s theme was the best rendition I ever heard. That is a nice sounding guitar too.
Whoever down-voted this is either bitter or jealous. It’s just amazing. I keep coming back to this and am truly amazed.
Your playing helped me find some much needed emotional release after breaking up a ~9 year long relationship.
Listening to the FFVIII songs played by you, took me back to my youth where I aspired to Laguna’s situation, to confess to the love of my life and be with her forever. By some cruel twist of fate and lack of courage, I ended up finally working up the courage and… Confessing to someone else, having convinced myself I wasn’t good enough for my true love. I was sure my feelings for her would wane and those for my chosen one would only grow. But that flame for my true love persists to this day, when I am now alone once more after 9 years. My true love found her own love elsewhere, and is now engaged. The one thing I can say I’m glad I did, is confess to her two years ago. It was too late, but I had finally done it. Now the flame will simply die with me, it seems.
Thank you.
I’m very into Tifa’s theme!!Bravo!
I love you man.
Underrated
Outstanding work
that tifa song just touch my soul and make it shiver dude
So good man
love it!!!
Thank you very much
日本語でごめんなさい。FINAL FANTASYの曲をギターで奏でるとこんな素敵なものになるなんて。うっとりして幸せな気分になりました。
Bravo! Masterfully done.
世界中に輝く、あまたの星の中で、あなたという星を発見できたことは、幸せです。日本語だけど、伝わるのだろうか?
Wonderful, thank you. Superb!
Thanks great job
To Zanarkand remains my favorite FF’s songs ! Very lovely guitar version ! Good job 😊
ナイス
i love you. you make me feel lovely nostalgia
끝까지 다들었당….
1:16:35 💯
Nobuo Uematsu is genius.
Don’t mind me just playing this in the background again
I’m on my 10th listen or so. This is good stuff John!
Incredible work! Needs some FFXI love in a future rendition. Ronfaure, Sanctuary of Zi’tah, Memoro De la Stona, Selibina
Brilliant! Loving it, especially your ‘eyes on me’ guitar interpretation is hauntingly beautiful. Can not recommend highly enough!
listening via purifico again it’s sooo goood.
The Love Theme from IV is just *made* to be played on the classical guitar. Bravo, sir.
I love it !!!!
Thank you very very very much !!!
Thank you…
Loved the Cosmo Canyon cover
素敵な音色ですね!
Those FFX songs always get me. Man. A lot of lonely hours in the summer playing that game.
Got chills when he started playing somnus, just hit all the right notes in my brain
You can really feel heart and soul of the musician coming through on each of these arrangements. Even if you’re a professional, there’s so much time and practice that goes in to each one of these (and lots of recordings). Well done, John! Well done!! You’ve earned a subscriber and fan!
Hey John,
Fantastic renditions. Nobuo would be proud (perhaps is). You know, you seem about my age. Are you like me in the sense that the only taste you had in music when you were nine was video game music. Final Fantasy means a lot to me. The most difficult piece of music I ever picked up was the main theme from FF7, or Clouds theme. I learned it from watching the Lonlonjp channel, on youtube before they removed his versions. Do you know of him? Thanks for putting these up for us to enjoy.
amazing performances, thanks for posting
Man remember this game, great composition and cool translation to CG . . .
Thank you.
The aberrant belt immediately branch because accordion mechanically cheat amidst a piquant bun. festive, noxious ink
Beautiful music played beautifully.
Thank you.
Wonderful, well done.
Thank you.
Balamb Garden sounds amazing.
im a little sad there wasnt anything from Final Fantasy Tactics on here, mostly coz that’s my favorite FF game, but that notwithstanding, this is INCREDIBLE! i’ve got it as im working, it’s really helping my mood
Real beutiful, it’s awsome, thanks for this!
Perfect for slee…….zZzz
Oh I love it! Thanks for that lovely tunes😘😘😘🙏
Looked up that guitar and my wallet weeped. Haha.
Masterpiece. Thank you so much for this.
amazing!
This is the best YouTube I have ever seen.
Yeah I’ve been playing the guitar for 12 years and I’m pretty good (watches this video). I need to practice for 12 more years.
I’d totally hang out at the Aetheryte listening to this all night man. You rock!!! Mega bard in ff14 hopefully??
お〜!ファイナルファンタジーをまさかギターソロでやるひとがいるとは!しかも外人!
せんきゅー!
thousands of years of life for you man, god bless u, really nice work!
Love it. I LOVE it. Thank you.
I like how you change shirts now and then
Hey! What about Seto part in the Cosmo Canyon theme?!
Amazing
Where is Force your Way?
Seeing your enjoyment of playing them is as great as the quality of sound coming from the guitar. TY
Great!!!!
これはいい(´∀`*)ウフフハラショー
I usually hate it when youtube starts automatically a video and I always cancel it, but I was afk for a few secs and this one started, and it’s so beautiful I listened to the whole thing. Thank you so much, this is awesome <3
FFVIII and FFIX are my favorites
Amazing. I’m listening this as background music to play games
Cool collection!
Chorando de emoção !
It doesn’t get better than this.
Amazing. Congrats T_T
that via purifico tho..
I love how much you love it♡♡♡
最高!
Shugoi!
1:49から神🤩
I have been trying without luck for months to remember the name of a song. Humming bits of it stuck in my head, but otherwise unable to find it. Voila! Listening to this wonderful playlist and there it was – “the place I’ll return someday” from ff9 – absolutely beautiful. Thank you for the nostalgia.
Bit bummed you skipped over XIV but I almost don’t even care because you are a fucking virtuoso and this was gorgeous
how dare you skip 11
Stop going after my heart like this, ouch. Everything hurts this is so amazing.
los que pusieron dislike es porque están envidiosas esta es una obra maestra para todos los amantes de FF.
もちろんFFが好きでほぼすべてのタイトル網羅しとるよね?
網羅してる上で楽器弾けるん羨ましい、素敵
sem palavras …
Amazing ^0^
Amazing! That sounds crystal!) 😏
youre like charles caswell if he wasnt metal lol
Jefe
This so great! I use it a lot as background music while drawing. So soothing. ^^ But I am a bit bummed that you did not include any songs from XI and XIV tho. 😛
Listening to this in 2021 Bravo sir Bravo!!!
I recognize all the song, my fav is ff1 town, such a calming melody,, always play it when im fell stressed,
Instalike. That doesn’t even do this justice. One of the best fandoms covers ever.
amazing <3
ahhh this is super nice!!
1:04:20 JAMMIN HARD WHILE EDITIN
ありがとう ARIGATO from Japan (^^)
my god…
How is there any dislikes to this? This takes me back and is an absolutely beautiful arrangement. Well done!
What a Beautiful guitar play!
Praise and clap from Japan.
Your performance on Somnus ffxv is lovely, the speed and tone make me cry as the moment noctis and lunafreya only able to reunited in other world. Sad story
Absolutely prolific well done.
This is absolutely astounding.
That’s so great! Great playlist!
Super!!!!!!!!
I haven’t played any of these, but whenever song like _Those Who Fight_ starts playing, I notice =D
Thank You!
I wish I could buy these somewhere else than Apple Store though :/
146 people didn’t like this? Pffft righteo then…they must rate Dubstep…>_> or love the sound of their own farts
This is good relax ‘n sleep music. Thanks brother.
I chose this over cafe style bgm. Very beautiful music. Love Final Fantasy as well.
Thank you for the music. I’m having a very stressful day and this is making me feel better.
Oh my gosh, the Town piece had me in tears!
This is awesome! I cannot believe there are 145 dislikes to this 🤦🤦🤦… what are people thinking!?!?!
Thanks for this video! This EXACTLY the reason I want to learn to play guitar 😉
2曲目はドラクエじゃない?
This is absolutely amazing! Makes me wanna learn how to play guitar just for the Prelude! 💕🌸
Thumbs up isn’t enough – where’s the <3 button?!?!?! Love this!
wonderful
beautiful!
Klasse. 🙂
I would love to hear Freya’s theme from Final Fantasy IX, is it on your channel somewhere?
So beautiful, can’t express in words. I definitely want to listen to FFT and FF type-0 songs as well
Absolutely amazing! I’m in awe of your talent. Thank you for contributing this artistry to the world!
I am a musician and a huge final fantasy fan. I have re-makes of FF music posted here on YT. and this is far and away the best FF guitar work I’ve witnessed. The smoothness, tone, and timing are so impeccable that it eliminates the feeling of ‘effort’ and feels 100% like… well… feeling. Like you are not playing the guitar and more like the guitar is playing you. Incredibly well done. Elia, Maiden of the water is especially impressive with the use of harmonics to accomplish its feeling. May you never break a nail. Only thing I could ask for is check out FFXI and FFXIV music also. FFXI alone has 6+ hours of OST and some of it is right up there as top-tier among the best of the franchise. FFXIV has some too, but a lot of its music starts straying away from the fantastical feel (it is still really fucking good, but more situational and wouldn’t lend itself as well outside the main themes to re-interpretations. It uses a ton of leitmotif though so the main themes are very much on the table).
wow….
Tugs at the heart strings and brings you back to the little kid in you then you first experienced the story and the wonderful music that came with it. The perfect 1 2 punch….
Thank you for making such beautiful rendition of the very best FF classics… =]
Amazing! Thank you.
Beautiful covers! Listen to them each night to sleep
maginifik , so fair ….. thank you for your work
Heart melted at 30:05
よく観たらエアーギターなんかい!(笑)
Maravilloso.
omg this is so amazing! def adding this to my music playlist! thank you!! ^_^
Amazingly well done. I love the Final Fantasy VIII covers. Was one of my favorite games growing up and it’s really cool to hear acoustic covers of those songs.
すばらしい!
Soo good 😍😍
sweet ,more reason to learn acoustic guitar 🙂
In tears, it’s so beautiful! Sudeki da ne really got me 😭
This music lets your heart go on the adventure before the adventure. It is an Afore Fantasy.
100 of 100 nobles were impressed.
無料で聴いてる事に罪悪感を覚えるほど好き
The gang is back again, they need to make a Final Fantasy 20 or something from the cast of Final 7 and bosses. But, it will be a huge successful hit or a huge failure… damn……
beautiful man
YOU ARE A MASTER!!
Watching your expressions and the way you move while you play you can just tell you have a passion for playing, and it’s great to see you enjoy yourself.
god
absolute travesty and blasphemy there is not a single FF14 track on this.
Wow, very well done
Level 80 Bard
Vamo Alla flamenco , your tone is spot on , absolutely flawless. You need to get onto Square enix 😊
Good job
this bring back so much memories…
The Cosmo Canyon theme has to be one of the best, especially when paired with Nanaki’s story arc.
Insanely beautiful! Thanks for that. Cheers from Brazil!
I am amazed by your talents. We can feel your expression coming from your guitar. Aerith’s theme brought a tear to my eye. Not sure if you have done it yet, or if you are looking for request, but more of Final Fantasy 6 would be great.
Woah can’t believe I went for months without knowing this exists, I’ll jam to this acoustic song for weeks to come 🙂 you’ve got a new patron! I’ll learn to play the Aerith’s theme one day for sure
I can’t believe he was able to play the Theme of Love the way he did.
FF8s “Breezy” sounds just like in the video game
Incredible! Thank you.
These are brilliant, I get lost listening to these and forget it’s just one person playing
I listened what you played, Thought, sceptical before I heard You’re main theme. Absolutelyi marvellous compositions
Thanks for your Collaboration
This is incredible. Thanks so much for putting this together. I think I need to go practice so that I can learn to play even just one of these songs.
This is awesome, but only playing two songs from FFVI is almost criminal lol
Great stuff!
54:49
原曲すぎる…!!
感動しました
Amazing
Wow, this is amazing. I could have this on loop at the office all day! Amazing renditions of a masterfully scored game series.
I just wanna say you are handsome as all get out
*gasp* FFVI searching for friends… people haven´t played that one enough… you’re awesome and your playing is awesome as well! *fades away with tears of joy into bliss*
NICE!
Amazing
Greetings from Finland!
Epic!
I never realized how Twin Peak-y that first piece is until just now. Excellent work!
This was amazing – series has some of the best music ever and it was played beautifully! Great arrangments!
This totally brings back memories ❤️ thank you for playing it soooooooo beautful!
ボクはFF8の音楽が好きです。中でも「Eyes on Me」は傑作ですね。ありがとう。
When you unlock the Bard class on FFXIV.
Shivering vibes… Wonderful technique and phrasé. Could i find your tabs anywhere, by any chance?
litteral chills ! oh so beautiful
Amazing
Loved these! Was only sad to see no FFXI. 🙁 Would’ve loved to hear some of the outside city zones or even Selbina.
try the potions version of eyes on me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7qWJMQQMqs
Amazing T T
im listening to this playlist on spotify almost everyday! very good work pal
Please play me to sleep every night
THE BEST!
Any reason you decided to skip the MMOs?
Great playlist but a few nices pieces from XI and XIV missing
Utterly and beautifully romantic. Thank you, John for providing such elegance.
You had my attention within seconds. Absolutely wonderful tribute to the best most important game series of all time.
You, sir, are the goddam best!
Such a great passion to arrange & practice all these songs. Thank you!
man, son many memories…thank you, this is beautiful.
I don’t know why this showed in my recommended but holy shit, I’m glad it did. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the FF series and you’ve made it all the more magical. 😊❤️
Love me some FF and guitars! Damn good job!
What kinda guitar is that??
just wanted to say nicely done on each song didnt think you would get most of the FFs in the video
If everyone was to tell me to pick a favorite song from this I would just say final fantasy meaning I can’t pick a favorite from all them tune i just can’t all of the musical piece are so good and tells a story in it’s own way so I diffinitly can’t pick
Bravo! Being a fellow musician and huge Final Fantasy fan. This was great! I bought your album on iTunes!
Very nice but not much from 4!! No main theme or cave music from that one?! 9 songs from FF7 but only 2-3 from FF4 and 2 from FF6 ughhh
This has joined my anti-depressant playlists.
Fantastic collection. But am I missing something? How can you not have the FF IV Overworld Theme? *sobs*
A wonderful listen, but I definitely would have loved to hear more of other games than FF7. In counting, there’s more songs covered for 7 than for 1-4 which is a shame as 1-4 has some amazing songs.
Those countless hours trying to raise a gold chocobo…
Simply amazing!
Amazing.
Incredible, wow. Thanks for sharing. This brought all the feels remembering these game scenes!
holy shit…..god like!
Never would’ve thought how well FF tracks translate to this style of play. Ahead On Our Way and Dark Crystals were *fantastic*, dude!
Dude you’re the s***! That’s awesome man congratulations. It must feel so nice to have a hard day and be able to come home and play that. :3

Final Fantasy VIII OST is so 😍
Incredible!!!
I love the music. It reminds me of So many parts of my past.
This is incredible work
heard that collection the entire day today and i wanna thank you since these songs on acoustic guitar soothed my mind and helped me to have a nice day with less depression compared to other days
very nice work on the guitar there
greetings from a fellow guitarist
Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaabo demais
It is wonderful…
This is great, thank you very much for the gift.
Wowwwwww
Theme of Love and Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves are majestic
Glad to hear these awesome arrangements played with such maestry. Very well done. New sub!
Mad lad!
around 28 min, Searching for Friends. that thing was amazing on guitar.
え、すごい笑最高😂
fuxxin cook u r!
chocobo is so cute sound!
I want the tabs for the main theme
So awesome! I wish there were tracks from FFXI too…
Beautifully done, brings back lots of memories. FFIX was what started the journey for me, I then continued to enjoy 3 of the latest FF titles on PS1 and again amazed by the “next gen” graphic of FF10. The last title I played was FF13 on Xbox360, the worst of all.
It’s usually an out of place one, but I absolutely love Chaos Temple. It’s got this strange mix of what feels like… sorrow and hope? Whenever it comes on I can’t help but sit back and reflect on old memories.
Bonito ! Ai sim !
This is amazing and so relaxing. Thanks so much for taking the time to learn and play all these great tunes then sharing them.
I keep watching your videos, and for probably about a year just watch your vids for inspiration to play guitar. Not until today, the idea of clicking subscribe finally came to thought. I should have sub’ed a long time ago. Appreciate your work.
This just makes my morning work 1000000 times better.
素敵です!!
凄く癒やされる。。。
whenever I hear those who fight, I start casting trine irl
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Somnus rendition is so tasteful
Cosmo Vanyon honestly the best of this Video.
28:01 …one of my favorite melodies from FFIII/VI. The composer captured perfectly the emotions and set of circumstances the player and the characters might feel at this most humbling of times.
Vamo’ Alla Flamenco was the song we all wanted to be payed on guitar 😉 ! awesome
Eternity: Memories of lightwaves from FFX-2 is single handily one of finest themes from all of the FF franchise. Such a emotion provoking piece. I couldn’t start FFX-2 after hearing it in the menu screen, it really grabbed the attention. The orchestral version on the piano is also mind blown. I was this played at my wedding as I’m walking down the isle, my fiancé get’s absolute no say in this, it shall be done haha!
P.S – There is one song you are missing which is a close second to Memories of Lightwaves and that is Wind Crest: The Three Trails, also from FFX-2. Honestly FFX and X-2 came out swinging with the themes, without a doubt some of the best. FFX I also would have to say is a tremendous games, one the best and that’s coming from a FF VIII fanboy that grew up with the series since the early 90’s.
This is fucking amazing. Wow.
That somnus really hit
Thank you very much for playing this beautiful music. Its a bond between brothers.
Love the overworld theme from FF6 in a lower key; great stuff. Keep playing, pro.
Great job. I think I’m going to be listening to this over and over lol. My favourite rendition was Cosmo Canyon. It’s such a unique sounding track but you captured it.
You know where you are, where have you been. Whenever he hit those notes. All those memories. Now im crying. Dam im old
14:49 Oh my tear is about to burst😢. Still got heart ache whenever is melody begins. It’s Theme of Bitter Love.
36:51 ~ goosebumps… bravo!! well played!! Thanks
Gracias!
Luv FFVIII – Eyes on Me … FFIX -Melodies of life
Thank you for this great compilation / concert… It’s so soft and gentle to my hears. 😊 Will keep listening to it.
So much nostalgia!
Amazing. Thanks for this. It’s nice to be taken back to simpler times, hooked on FF.
its so amazing
Thank you so much for this, I loved it!
Wow, insta favorite
I’ve listened to the piano collections for years, so discovering this makes me really happy. Thank you
love you <3
Thanks God. I am very lucky to hear this amazing 110min concert without a concert ticket..
Gawd.. I just love your rendition of Somnus! Didn’t expect it to sound as good on the guitar, but there it is! And quite as lovely as ever!
I’m a Japanese game fan. Thanks for the great video!
I’ve been repeating your outstanding guitar playing and healing tones.
The flow of FF4-6 music is a moving emotion that shakes my heart. And it reaffirm the greatness of Mr. Nobuo Uematsu.
I’m glad you played a lot of my favorite FF9 songs!
all most cry
The amount of hours transcribing then arranging these works for guitar must have been a lot.
Well done they sound great!
This is amazing
that tifa theme,… dudeeeeeeee
Sorting in level of difficulty, in what order would you recommend one would learn these?
Lindo demais
Thank you a lot.. best part of my life, just watch my sister play on it and enjoy songs with history. I wish i coud turn back as a child for once and just watch her play again without thinking of anything else
I love this playlist!!!! FF8 Fisherman’s Horizon (56:21) is my favourite song of all FF series, its imposible to my be in a port like Mar del Plata an not start to sing this medley in my mind. great video!!
Que agradable se siente escuchar esta playlist, una guitarra muy limpia la verdad y que técnica. Muy impresionante. Gracias por compartir 😉
Ive been playing ff1 recently and i gotta say that the town theme here is so spot on I could almost here all my gil being spent on my Warrior’s equipment
I am posting from the book today.
I’m sorry for my bad English.
I love FF and found this video.
I sleep playing this almost every day before going to bed.
I am impressed with your performance that you can feel the love for FF.
Thank you very much for the wonderful video!👏
thank you for all
Thank you for this wonderful arrangement.
This is so amazing…
1:04:08 I love how this polyphony is presented on guitar
Hi, you and this video get 50% of the credit for getting me into Final Fantasy. I haven’t played a game yet, but I hope to change that soon. Thanks, this whole video is so so lovely 🙂
Can’t tell how I feel, but listen to your artwork again and again …..
Superb, hope to play half as good as this!
Very, very good man
Cool guitar version of Final Fantasy music! thanks.
Perfection!!
Tyvso much, also for timer.
beautifully made.. thank you for making this video. As a final fantasy gamer, I really appreciate it.
The party begs you join as our bard.
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever heard! You are my hero!
Your hands are so beautiful
So skilled, so beautiful.
Amazing – so many beautiful tracks captured perfectly. Have you done/will you do the Opera or Celes’ theme from FF6? My only complaint on this amazing set list was not enough FF6!
Outstanding. Subbed. I would love to hear more from my favorite Final Fantasy (XII), and would also love more X and anything from Tactics Advance!
AMAZING!!!!
FFVI and FFX > FFVII
This is so fantastic. Thank you so much!
感動
I love you man
My heart skipped a beat immediately. Oh, the memories <3
Awww just wonderful thank you!

We fans just have to thank you!
Deeply thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Awesome, loads of inspiration just here
Very impressive.

Whos cutting onions? ;_;
This is the best classical guitar cover for the entire Final Fantasy series I’ve ever heard.
Fantastic work!
That Chocobo Hot and Cold, KWEEH!
thx pal
Feel like playing ff9 once more! Thanks for bringing up those good memories!
So awesome — thanks to you I now finally have a resource for learning classical guitar in a way that works for me! Thank you!
The fuckin grin on “Those who Fight” hahaha
Love the joy man.
Wow… simply amazing.
Some songs sound like ukulele guitar
You are my god!
You are impressive ! 😮 Great stuff here <3
Do more Xenogears!
Impresionante
The fact that you included Dali Village makes me happy <3
Tifa’s Theme as breath taking as ever
How the hell does this only have 367k views…. That’s ridiculous.
perfection, I can see you have put alot of practice into this video. Applause for those eye brow motions 😀 *Cheer*
Just want to give a major shout out to you for these excellent arrangements. You have top notch classical guitar techniques and obviously have done your time carving out the arrangements, some of which are not easy on guitar. As a fan of both FF and classic guitar, listening to these gems is heaven to me. Thank you!!
Absolutely well done.
I love FINAL FANTASY V(SFC). Your Guitar playing is COOL 🙂
こんなになるとは、思ってなかったです。(In my childhood, I even hadn’t dreamed about the game I was playing to be performed like this .)
很棒的最終幻想
I’m so happy for this incredible collection – thank you John!
I clicked this video just wanting some pleasant background music, but I was blown away by how your managed to capture the tender heart and beauty of the songs, this is my 2nd time listening to it in the last 24 hours. Wonderfully done!
You really tha truth!!
lv 99! Amazing, you play a lot :)!
Reminds me of classical
This was so good. Speechless.
its so beautiful, thank you!
Victory Fanfare VII awesomeeeeeee!!!
Is no one going to mention the effort he put in to make sure he has a new shirt for each piece?
Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves – WOW. Simply perfect.
素晴らしい!
Thoroughly enjoyed this. Didn’t expect to being a purist Final Fantasy composer snob. 10/10
This touches my very soul. Thank you.
Perfect
Jeez FF5 has good tracks. Always forget just how good it is. Not as grand as FF6 but more subtle and a bit sad.
That rendition of tifa’s theme was incredible. It made me cry a little bit. Thank you for your hard work.
Chaos Temple is my all time favorite! Thank you!
Thank you John Oeth for this wonderful, soul soothing video. I am in love with final fantasy music. God bless you. 🙂
Thank you very much for uploading this. It’s so peaceful and relaxing 😊😊
last one is my fav :3
😭✨✨✨✨
This is amazing, thank you so much!
Thank you.
This has become one of my favourite playlists to listen to while studying (or playing farming simulator xD
52:50 and 54:49 are awesome!
めちゃくちゃ愛を感じます♪素敵。
Very nice, but not a single selection from XI where I have spent most of my Final Fantasy time.
How has this just now hit my recommended videos!? So much talent, thank you for sharing this art with us. Liked and sub’d!
Love your expression changes with the chord changes
54:49 Just for this
just subscribed, as a final fantasy lovers and guitarist, i really enjoyed your cover videos, awesome mate
Hi John ! Would I be able to use this music in the background of a stream ill make sure to credit your twitch and youtube if that helps 🙂
This was wonderful! Thank you for playing! 🙂
Superb !
Absolutely wonderful
The Promise聴いていたら幸せで涙が出てきた
very pleasantly surprised with all the FFI tracks!
I need the ultimate guitar tabs for this haha
i am lucky because i am here, a beautiful i has hear. thank you!
This is my 8 weeks old puppy’s soothing music…
Either I won the good puppy lottery, or this is level 99 soothing music. It’s one or the other.
Who the hell downvotes this?? The amount of work and effort for our entertainment. You dont just wake up playing this well, this is years worth of practise and I don’t even wanna think about how long this all took to arrange and practise. Easily one of if not the best FF collection on YT.
94 dislike come from the fallen Ultimecia league
damn that intense feeling you put in hymn of the faith
Hola, me interesa comprar PDF de Fisherman Horizon. Habrá alguna posibilidad? Gran trabajo, saludos desde Chile
gerat video
It’s been so many years and this song, “Chaos Temple”, is still my favorite from Final Fantasy. Thank you so much.
Thank you for this beautiful music collection. “Chaos Temple” is my favorite from Final Fantasy 1. I am so glad to have chance to listen to it. Thank you so much.
Hey man!! You are incredibly awesome!!
I wanna say thank you as a Japanese man!!
“Listen to my story, this may be our last chance”
おお、いいね!めっちゃ癒される音色だ!素晴らしい!
Starting off with Prelude and rocking it. Amazing!
Nice job. Judging by the songs you played, your favorite is ff7😂
They play with such passion, it is a tribute to this fantastic series.
I’m playing ff7 right now. But this still makes me really miss being a kid and experiencing all the FFs for the first time. Great work here man
I never noticed it until now after many years that Prologue reminds me of TLOZ’s Kakariko Village song. 🤦🏼♂️😆
Beautiful…….amazing job you did on It, thanks from the deep of my heart ♥️💖♥️
oh god what am i listening…i can´t believe
Really beautiful playing and expression. Thanks for combining my love of classical music with video games!
This got me through work today.
Cosmo Canyon theme is an underrated tune. The build-up is incredibly epic
Awesome!!!
My ears and heart are full of happiness
So I fell asleep listening to another acoustic set of FF covers, and woke up around some familiar FF6-FF7 songs you were doing. I was really digging your classical interpretation of some of my favorite scores until I got to your FF-13 set… then I freaking LOVED what you were doing with those tracks. So damn beautiful.
Is there any way you would consider doing a larger set of FF-13 tracks? Obviously only if you’re feeling it and you see it as being worth your time. Either way, instant subscribe!
316k views and 180k of them are mine 🙂
So Great! Fantastic!
the ff7 soundtrack hit me like a truck
thank you 🙂
才能の有効活用👏👏👏
最高!! 子供の頃にやったTVゲームが海を越えて愛されている。感動ですよ。ありがとうございます。👏👏👏👏👏
Muito bom! Uma obra prima.
As seleções foram realmente as melhores!
Awesome! Thank you for doing this amazing job. Hugs from Brazil.
🤩
I wish YouTube would’ve recommended this 7 months ago when you uploaded it instead of today.
THIS IS WONDERFUL. You have brought joy to *so* many people.
This is so good for work. Thank you for doing this.
Really nice work, awesome, thanks a lot pal, I helps me a lot to focus at work 😀
You’re so handsome and so talented. Oh my gosh.
Such a talent ! will be supporting this musician. Took me back to my childhood. Amazing. Thank you for the journey. Pls more vids
Too good. God bless you
those ff7 covers..
最高です。
Dude!! Also final fantasy IX “Vamo Alla Flamenco – I remember that shit so well … “KWEH” right? right? hahahaha damn chocobo digging!
Dude Aerith’s theme makes a person cry.. but I don’t understand, I always ball my eyes out when I hear Red XIII theme (cosmo canyon).. That short story with his father Seto and the tears falling down.. damn bro.. Good gaming times <3
I walked down the aisle (and watched my wife do the same) to the prologue and prelude, respectively. Thank you for making me ugly cry on my keyboard. Perfection.
Beautifully played. I can see and hear the love you have for these songs in your playing. 🙏
Wonderful contribution. If you don’t mind me asking, what guitar are you using here?
this is supreme! thanks for recording this
You nailed some of them, e.g. To Zanerkand. Thank you! As someone, who can play songs on a Piano and does so for over 28 years (non professionally), I really respect others, who feel good enough to actually record themselves playing it.
Thank you for this :). I miss “Answers” from FFXIV though..
¡Gracias por tanto!
John is one with the guitar.
You truly see the joy in his face and hear his heart and soul in his playing. That is a charism of the Holy Spirit. It sings to the rest of our souls and captivates our attention. No matter our mood or what we are doing. Who else is inspired while listening to do the things on your own mind and heart that you know you have been called to do, but have been putting it off for whatever reason?
The music eminates from him, and the guitar is merely the instrument that sends the vibrations outward. Thank you, John. God bless!
thanks man 😢
how nostalgic, how beautiful this is.
Listening to your performance,I was so moved that I couldn’t stop crying. And I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you for teaching me the importance of maintaining my honest feelings.
Really digging this rendition of Rydia’s theme!
From japan.
ギター一本でこれだけFinal Fantasyの世界を表現できるのが素晴らしい。
Final Fantasyの世界の情景が浮かんできます。本当にその世界を愛してるのが伝わってきますね。
Enjoyable.
Even though FFVII is not my favorite of the series, I automatically bursted out in tears as you started playing Tifa’s theme… that tune and Aeris’ theme have definitely some emotional power so to speak, as usual with many FF themes. The one from the towns brings nostalgia, too. Congrats for the work you put on this. I applaud you. I saw your video from FFXI’s Selbina theme. That game deserves another whole video :D, has awesome tracks, too. I truly believe every Final Fantasy game to be perfect works of art 🙂
Btw, as for today, FFVI, X, X-2. XII, XIII and XI remain among my favorite FFs. So hard to choose only one >< :D
Jesus christ “Those who fight” was so well arranged, truely amazing. Congrats for it and the other ones too 😀
I’ve always been a fan on final fantasy games, and just recently got into guitar, you dear man, are an inspiration to me.
Amaizing work, we can hear your passion in every chord.
Keep it up with this beautiful work!
4:05 The most peaceful soundtrack in FF history..
Can you play la hee?
Hey man, this is F****ing awesome!!!!!!!!! I jam out to this while I study or do computer work. I hope YouTube showers you with money, this is honestly incredible
these are pretty good etudes 🙂
I’m so glad youtube recommended this video to me. You’re awesome! I can only dream of being able to play the guitar like this. Love this!
Fantastic! Thank you for this. Best Regards from Brazil
This was incredible. I’ve been listening to it every day at work for more than a week now. Great stuff man.

This is wonderful!! Great job of creating just enough of the secondary melodies/inner voices. I have to admit I was disappointed there wasn’t more FFVI! I think the scores to VI and VII are Uematsu’s best (all the FFs have great pieces, but those two games just have so many tracks that are original, peak Uematsu melodies). Coin Song, Awakening, Phantom Forest, Forever Rachel, and Cyan/Locke/Shadow’s themes would all make great additions.
I’m surprised ff3 or ff6 if you prefer, didn’t get hit with infringement, sound like “let my love open the door”
Masterpiece, thanks a lot!
God as a aspiring guitarist you have no idea how much this means. I can’t thank you enough for this well-spring of some of the most amazing pieces of our generation.
You really looked happy when you were playing Terra’s Theme and that makes me happy. That song always brings a happy tear to my eye and you did not dissapoint
Where’s LaHee?
Thanks so much! that was very beautiful and well rendered. So nostalgic and well played. listened to this video several times already. I’d contrib for you on Patreon, but im not quite a fortunate one in that way yet… will be back to listen. omg it’s so nice 🙂 see ya! Ami
Fantastic work! I love guitar and OSTs so much, and I am very happy that I was able to find this video. My two favourite music related things in one video. I would like the video twice if I could.
Great technique and compilation 🙂 my favourite to listen to was Cosmo Canyon because the dynamics were very well performed.
My only disappointment is that there were no FFXI or XIV songs 🙁
I was having a super sad night. Thanks for this
Rarely do I comment on videos, but you’re really good. It’s obvious you personally engaged with the source material. At no time do you sound like a musician faithfully playing the music as written. You clearly experienced the emotions through gameplay—as the music intended to evoke—and reproduced it here. Your music sounds like a product of your experiences and feelings. Thank you for sharing.
Really enjoy listen to all of this! Appreciated your fantastic guitar arrangement for the final fantasy’s tune and nice guitar tone!
amazing work, seriously.
Man, the amount of skills and hard work you put into this fantastic soundtrack is astounding, Just want to thank you for making this, and I hope it gets the views and likes it deserves.
funny how the composer use same riffs to make some songs..like Tifa’s Themes, contains Final FAntast VI the Ophera elements, and on Eyes on me 59:30 you can hear again Tifa’s Theme
All of them are so freaking good but damn.. Suteki Da Ne is such a pretty song! Thanks for the covers 😁
Absolutely amazing!!!!
I just began learning guitar, and I love games and their music. I wanna be like you someday!
I’m literally coming back to reply before its even over. It’s moving
Maverlous
Wow. Thanks for this
1:05:28 village of dali is simply the best ff9 forever <3
wow. so great!!!
Very Impressive… Keep it up mate.
Very nice 🙂 thank you!
I would pay good money to see/listen to him playing the entire FF6 soundtrack like this!
What a MONSTER!
Thanks, this video made my day
日本が誇るゲーム音楽を、これだけ愛でてくれて本当にありがとうございます
Brother, phenomenal stuff. My mother hates video games and ain’t crazy about YouTube, but I’mma have her snag this thing offa her Apple store, 100%. Keep up the good work, bud. (She’ll really enjoy the music so long as she doesn’t know what it’s based on. 🤣 )
so beautiful!!!! Love it!
Major lonlonjp nostalgia
mind mellltinggg 1:07:40 Vamo’ Alla Flamenco (Final Fantasy IX) arr. Minamizawa*
I was gonna listen to this while working, but I realized it’s hard to work when you can’t see over your tears of nostalgia.
You’re awesome!
*swoons*
Man, when FFVII Main Theme came on…this guy deserves way more subs. Amazing renditions of some of my most favourite songs
Poor XI didn’t make the list. Would have loved to hear Ronfaure or Gustaburg in the set. But beautifully played! Thank you for making this XD
Would really like to see some breakdowns of the songs. Or even just left and right hand focused videos for those wanting to learn from you. Great job! So glad I found this! So inspired
crack!
Random man in the crowd was quite impressed!
He throws you a pair of orthopedic underwear!
I’ve always loved the melody at the end of ‘Victory Fanfare’. It’s on repeat in my head, I appreciate that you spent a little more time with it. Thank you.
fantastic.
you make that look so easy – i can’t believe it. Fantastic work!
Super very nice!
what tuning are you in for prelude?
I listen to this compilation everyday now ^ – ^
speed 0.75 sounds more like the original
Just fantastic…especially the FF7 parts.
Bravissimo
ありがとう
realy GOOOOD thx
Thank you for the music and adding some soothing music to my weekend 🙂
Absolutely beautiful.. dude needs more subscribers.. True talent right here 👏
Please, continue to exist
good LORD look how delicate those harmonics are
dude’s touching those strings with a single atom of his finger
didn’t think I was gonna ugly cry today but here we are
wow nice arrangements! especially liked your version of To Zanarkand compared to Minamizawa’s
keep up the good work!
Love Somnus and Valse di Fantastica most. Just played FF15.
I’m loving this. My fav part is the first 1hr49 mins
Thank you so very very much
Thank you for this!

파판 음악 연주해주셔서 감사합니다 ㅠ
Was gonna go to bed but ended up reading to this music and then fell asleep reading. Funny ain’t it?
I love this. Thanks for this present! Subscribe already!
Any moron with half a brain can do this. It’s nothing special.
I’m enjoying seeing you enjoying playing the songs.
How you cover all instruments in a single guitar fills me with joy. Congratulations, for all your efforts and thanks for sharing ur talent with us! Best wishes
素晴らしい!
This is perfection! I’ve been learning guitar recently and being a avid gamer, this is pure inspiration. Subscribed!
I’m not crying, you’re crying!
Really wish these songs were on Bandcamp or something of the sort so we can actually download them. Streaming services are cumbersome.
Fisherman’s Horizon this makes me cry…
This is absolutely incredible. I truly admire the amount of work that went into this compilation. Thank you John Oeth Guitar.
Dark Crystal sounds amazing in your guitar
Love it
Thanks, I realized my favorite is Classical Guitar sounds with your tones. Also I remembered adventure in the world of FF in childhood with my brothers.
Sounds great!!!! Thank you for posting this!
This is such a beautiful collection, thank you so much for uploading it
holy!! this is Guitar Fantasy
You have gained many Sphere points while practicing these songs, I Salute you!
Just here for Eyes on me.
Wow that’s some miraculous guitar playing!!! Uber level technique and feel, unbelievable sense of rhythm and dynamic control, all along with a repertory of master pieces.
Beautiful.
Very well done but I would really like te see Cids Theme (FF7) or Sending a Dream into the Universe.
These would sound fantastic with a guitar!
Many people appreciate this more than you think. When I play this it seems like all my problems just go away and i can finally relax. Your music is therapy, thank you so much.
どの曲もすごい。特にFF6のティナのテーマと、仲間を求めてはギター一つでここまで表現できるのかと純粋に驚きました。
I am really surprised. and especially I have thought that really difficult to play for Terra’s theme and Searching for friends on FF6 with a single guitar. Thank you for good playing and good movie.
Oh wow! thats lovely
That Prelude was the greatest thing I’ve ever heard.
Wow! You really did bring us to Final Fantasy realm through this. Ahh…what a nostalgic feeling. Salute!
Thank you very much for playing awesome beautiful guitars for my favorite tunes. Especially To Zanarkand and Memory of Lightwaves. Your are absolutely genius.
Thank you for posting this! 👍
I would like to see it used for the soundtrack of the next FFVIIRmake. It’s too good!
So many people don’t include Via Purifico in their cover lists. I’m so amazed. In my opinion, it’s THE MOST underrated song of the entire series. I stayed in that area an extra 15 minutes just because i loved the theme so much.
I don’t often slam the like button that fast; thank you for making me reminisce my childhood guitar at hand.
Beautiful music while working at home. Thanks
team: healed!!!
Thank you so much for this, absolutely beautiful. I could not imagine the time, effort, talent, and utter love required to take several compositions requiring a keyboard amongst several other instruments and do it justice on a single instrument.
Not only is the quality of playing amazing but this captures the feel and emotion of these pieces amazingly.
i have goosebumps, and tears started to fill my eyes…
Hello my friend, in particular the final fantasy IX marked my life, mainly for the beautiful melodies, gratitude for your commitment to bring this back through your soul. I’m from Brazil, but music has no borders.
Just beautiful. What a inspiring tribute. Thanks, John! Many of us will use this concert to work, reflect or share with others. Insta sub!
Saved right into my playlist!
Why is he using 2 capos om some songs? Never seen that.
AMAZING!!!
u considered releasing a CD? i’d buy in a Heartbeat
久遠のギターアレンジ初めて聞いた。やべー

El debería hacer la música para los juegos de Final Fantasy, imaginense un Final Fantasy con esa música 🙂
Suteki da ne was amazing, thanks man
Mantabbb
This was awesome, brought me back to my childhood. Anyone know where I can find Aria di Mezzo Carattere?? Where General Celes impersonates Maria in order to meet Setzer?
nobuo uematsu is fucking unmatched
上手!!
These songs are such masterful work being played with not only amazing technical skill, but honest care and love. It inspires me to be a better person, and to look at the universe in a way where I am not at the center.
thank you for all the hard work making this happen. I enjoyed the fruits of your labor
I can see a passionate musician when they seem to have goosebumps when playing their most beloved songs. Great talent, hope your effort makes above all you and your loved ones happy.
:’)
I am so grateful for this YouTube suggestion, can’t stop watching your videos, so beautiful!
Idk why I almost cried straightaway…and then I started skipping to aerith theme, eyes on me, and then realised I wasn’t helping >.>
It was hard enough on the piano….
best sharing
Brings back my childhood memories. Amazing!!!
I get +150atk buff after watching this
“The Place I’ll Return To Someday” needs to be played on a lute or theorbo. Very baroque.
Truly Fantastic! Excellent technique and well disciplined hands. Very well done friend! I listen to this, to and from work.
55 dislikes for this? inhuman.
Love that Choco Theme
terras theme. pog
This is perfect!!
many timestamp lol

This is absolutely fantastic…. ….Subscribed!
This is great! A ton of stuff to learn and arrange and the final product is absolutely wonderful. Thank you
This took me back to some of the happiest times of my life. THANK YOU
bro, you totally help me to put myself again on track with your music… thanks for such beautiful interpretations
NO ENTIENDO QUIEN DA DISLIKE AQUI???? ESTO ES PERFECTO¡
46 ?! (O w O)
Man this brings me right to nostalgia lane… and later straight to sleep 🙂 most wonderful!
Amazing work. As an old-school fan of the series and guitar player I take my hat off to you! Thanks so much for this!
AMAZING! You are a genius! Thank you for this masterpiece!
Wow this is amazing thank you for putting in all the effort of recording! I’m a fan of the Final Fantasy series myself. Also, where can I find the tabs for these arrangments?
Amazing!
Final Fantasy changed the world, it’s so beautiful sound and calming our heart when listening to this. Thank you
that’s a lot of work man..this is great
Your FFVII covers give me big ole chills. Beautiful work. Thanks for doing this for us
Bravo and thank you! A very Nice collection of beautiful music played flawlessly! This is the future of classical guitar for the general public at large. We need to reach to the general audiences who don’t comprehend the technical difficulties (not saying that yours are not) who appreciates the pleasing melodies to their ears.
You do these songs justice by playing them on a classical guitar, amazing work hope you make more!
This is one of the best videos I ever seen on youtube! Is so relaxing and the song choices are perfect!
Bravo! Saved
Had it on repeat today at work. Incredible 🙏🏻 thank you so much!!! ❤️
Spoony Bard!
I’m just curious if you learned these by ear?
I like your stuff, but it’s a real shame you did the slow Ahead on Our Way from Final Fantasy VII, which was an uninspired rehash, rather than the lively original from Final Fantasy V. 7’s was the theme in some little town, where as 5’s was the theme song to the entire game.
wonderful! Congratulations and thank you, you improved my day!
I’m so glad you ended on Valse di Fantastica. I don’t think my heart could handle any more heartbreak.
Man thank you so much this great
prelude really gives you that energy
This is so wildly impressive. Amazing work, thank you for putting this amount of effort it, it’s beautiful
Ff will live forever
Congrats Bro. Final fantasy marked my childhood and listening you brought back those very good memories. Very good job.
These songs are hard to get this clean. On an acoustic no less. Amazing work.
You’re wonderful!!
Perfect !!Thanks !!
It’s impressive, very good job
Breezy is perfect!
is this lydian?
That cosmo canyon intro and performance! Oh man im loving it. So glad you put in the time and used a Neumann microphone.. the mic is so detailed I can hear you breathing 😉
Listening to this is awesome, watching him get a kick out of playing all of these is even better. And it sounds so good!
Listening Balamb Garden, Fisherman Horizon, Village of Dali, and Rose of may, making me emotional. I just wanna go back being a kid again, those days were wonderful.
john i love your songs
thank you so much for this I’am very love these music
Que material incrivel! Estou apaixonado por essa trabalho!! Sou fã de FF7 e FF8 e ouvir as musicas destes jogos dessa maneira está sendo maravilhoso! Obrigado!
Хочу вивчити мелодію 7 фіналки на гітарі, це ж так прекрасно)
What a beautiful work, I love the Eyes On Me at 58:39 . Thank you, Godspeed!
素晴らしい演奏!感動しました😢
I think half of the visits is just me lol
This sounds amazing! I hope you can do FFXIV songs too. They’re pretty epic.
I do like this segment. It’s amazing and peaceful. 58:39 Eyes on Me (Final Fantasy VIII) arr. Minamizawa*
This is absolutely beautiful, thank you
What an epic medley! Would have loved to have heard some more from FFVI included as that’s the best soundtrack in the series IMO. Also, Costa del Sol from FFVII would have been a good fit for your beautiful style.
gonna keep it real witchu chief
you sound good as hell but I’m taking this glaring lack of FF14 music extremely personally >:(
Very Impressive. Just like playing the game, especially ‘Eyes on Me’ it’s really beautiful acoustic..
Woooow !!! now this takes me back :3 BRAVO !!!
i know most opf the song on this vid from ffxv when driving around with the homies. brings back so many memories.
Amazing!!! I cannot understand why anyone would give a downvote. This is pure guitar mastery blended with incredible compositions. Thank you!
Queen Brahne was quite impressed!
The audience showers you with 10,000 gil!
this is fantastic and deserves way more views!!! wonderful playing of some of my favourite pieces of ever!!
great your world
Truly beautiful.
That Prelude just hits you with pure gold right off the bat. Dang!
LOVE THIS. Such an under-viewed/liked performance and effort of time/energy and craftsmanship on every piece!
I studied classical guitar in college at ULM – so I appreciate this further!
Thanks you…
more like fucken oath. seriously though very nice stuff lol
I love this video.
Thank you for the performance. It means so much to me.
J. Oeth used Nostalgia.
It’s super effective!
perfect
Perfect man, nailed it. Beautiful.
Amazing!!!
lightning theme is the most beautifull song on this arrangement good job that was wonderfull
This is it. This is the video that wins youtube. Thank you.
ファイナルファンタジーとギターに対する愛情が感じられる珠玉の動画ですね
I’M NOT CRYING, YOU’RE CRYING!
May the yt algo gods be ever in your favor kind sir. This music transports me to a time long ago, simpler times.
this must’ve taken FOEVER
I’ve played the whole mainline series of the game growing up and listening to you play while working brings so much nostalgia of all the good memories it calms me down! Great song choices John and thanks for playing!
One of the reason Square Enix is so success
QUALITY QUALITY QUALITY!!! thanks for this ^_^
Cool!!!
Cosmo Canyon is my jammmmm…. love it!
Wonderful covers.
So many memories evoked with this music, it is like a journey from childhood ff1 to adolescence ff9 remembering that feeling of being immersed in a true epic adventure. Thank you for sharing your talent, and thanks to Nobuo for this wonderful music.
Where’s Zi’tah at?? Loved the performance
I love the FF9 soundtrack. I was happy with the performance. Thank you.
Aural xanax right here. Yessir… Bravo.
Lots of this music is very close to my heart. Thanks for the nostalgia.
Oh this is amazing! Thank you so much for learning all of these! I could listen to this for hours!
Great selection. I appreciate you playing tracks from the earlier games.
Thank you so much for this mate!
I’ve got chills all over my body listening to your covers, surrounded by Nostalgia of FF series (from VII <3 to X in particular) It marked and era.
Now I listen to it will on the job.
Flawless!!
Very nice playing and nice shirts!
Not only is this a absurd amount of work in arrangments, but also beautifuly captured, one of the few classical guitar channels who makes actually good videogame arrangments and performances 🙂
No Final Fantasy XI? for shame 🙁
you planning on making more PDF scores for VII and IX?
Remind me my childhood… Pure nostalgic and so emotional..
your ‘to zanarkand’ are so clean, love it!
素晴らしいです!特に選曲が最高です。言うまでもなく技術も素晴らしいです。
また、あなたが弾いている姿や表情は聴いている人を幸せな気持ちにします。
聴く者にとって、自分自身と同じように、この曲達を愛しているんだなと感じることができるからです。
私は小学校3年生の時にファイナルファンタジー3に出会いました。
それ以来ずっとファンです。数多くのカバー曲も聴いてきましたが
少なくともクラシックギターのカヴァーにおいては、あなたがNo.1だと思います。
この動画に出会えて私はラッキーです。これからも応援しています。遠い日本の地より。
OMG all those tracks I am stunned!
this medley is truly superb! I love your playstyle, it’s very emotional <3
oh my fucking god
This is one of the most beautiful Final Fantasy cover albums I’ve ever listened to. Thank you so much! 💕
No FInal Fantasy Tactics?? The Best Soundtrack for me …Sad.
Fantastic. Bravo!
*holds gently* is…… this gift….. for us? 🥺
Simply amazing ….
Came here specifically for Vamo’ Alla Flamenco and was not disappointed.
I love listening to this while I read. This seems like an incredible feat to create in itself so thanks a million for putting this together.
My boy
HELL YEAH man! I love this shit right here!
Beautiful man. Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this.
Aw sweet memories 😀
hell ya
I lost my dog 2 days ago, I held him in my arms until he went to sleep, and afterwards I just felt empty and lifeless. These covers of the soundtracks brought back the feeling of inner piece and satisfaction I had snuggling up to him and watching series with him when I was going through tough times and it’s a beautiful feeling that I’m so thankful for even though I’m crying again. Thank you for making me feel these feelings again and playing for us.
Wow ☺️☺️☺️
すばらしい!
Absolutely beautiful playing.
I would pay money to hear this live. For real. Please.
The attention to detail here is mind-blowing. And thank you for not ruining this masterpiece with commercials in the middle. This is a top .01% YouTube guitar video.
Thank you for the beautiful music ❤
Thanks for playing these songs. I listen to your performance almost everyday as a start up in my medical practice. I find it relaxing and perfect for thinking about difficult cases. Thanks again.
So which song was you’re favorite to play???
Incroyable je suis français le travail est fou. Tous les fans de FF doivent connaitre c est digne d un concert !
omg I got shivers at the FFVII stuff, lovely work
i miss lonlonjp 🙁
Inspiring stuff. So happy to have discovered this video when I did.
This was randomly recommended to me, and man, your cover of the Rebel Army Theme made me want to play FFII again. Very well done on all of these. <3
Every time I pick up my guitar I play Breezy first. What a fantastic melody.
すごくいい!very good!(´°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥ω°̥̥̥̥̥̥̥̥`)
Absolutely phenomenal 💗💗💗
Esto seguirá siendo una maravilla hasta el año 2031
Just got into the final fantasy games recently and I’m in love with your cover compilation. Absolutely amazing arrangements, quality, and performance. Thank you so much for sharing <3
Final Fantasy as a series has so much great music, but man… “Eyes On Me” has such a special place for me.
Nowadays we often wrongly overused the word “Epic” to describ pretty much anything but to my opinion in this case, i cannot think of a more appropriate usage of the word. This collection is phenomenal and EPIC. it cradle and nourrish the imagination of the young boy i was when i started to play this fantastical serie that is Final Fantasy. i simply feel at home.
Will you please be the Bard in my party? I need these buffs and heals. <3
Don’t know how many times I replayed this video. Your interpretation of the songs are beyond great. Awesome guitar skills. Greetings from Brazil!
We need Dragon Quest collection
This is incredible! How does this video not have over a million views??
👍
“Stereo Neumann TLM 102”
I wanted this mic before listening to this, and now I want it even more. It’s just amazing on acoustic guitar.
amazing. simply amazing
1000 Words? FFX-2.
You’re so absurdly skilled its mesmerizing, you actually make it look easy
thanks for your amazing work
ff 8 <3
This makes me want to both stop everything and play Final Fantasy and stop everything and learn guitar.
What an absolute joy to listen to! Thank you
This is wonderful. Thank you so much.
You are pretty amazing
59:03 is nostalgic. feels like the strums of the guitar is talking.
This is beautiful.
Fantastic job! I wish I could give you a like (or three!) for each of the songs! 🙂
It is amazing that from the very first game the music was phenomenal.
Deserves more views. Good job bud.
This is just beautiful. Thank you very much!
<3
My dreams come true.. Since 2001 all i want to hear is someone playing ffx ost.. And now you play it all, not just ffx..
45:04
58:39
1:11:15
1:16:35
Damn, now I want to learn to play the guitar again
holy shhh, that Terra Theme is awesomely executed!
nice sound my friend wow!
Amazing work, honestly. Who the hell downvoted this though?
i think final fantasy turn into shitty game , but they still have the best music
I’ve got no words to honour such wonder. thank you
Terra’s Theme rocks!
Just beautiful.
Amazing thank you it’s so cool to listen to these arrangements on a classical guitar.
You skipped FFXI.
Very impressive.
How many years would it take be able to do something remotely like this from scratch ?
美しい
Watching feels so much different than hearing only. Awesome! Great skill!
1 min of your video and im glad i clicked
My only problem with this compilation is that I wish most of these songs went through twice, especially for the earlier games! Guess I’ll just have to hit that replay button <3
Amazing work! Thank you!
now this is stress relief bless you for making this
Bards. Awesome. 😊
all of this is impressive and i keep listening, but my favorite is Cosmo Canyon!
Love when you start ripping on Terra’s Theme. What tuning are you in? It’s super heavy haha
This is easily one of my favorite albums of all time. So many memories and so beautifully played. You really did it justice. Bravo!
Such clean tone..
28:06 that’s amazing !!!
This is amazing….
I’ve listened to this album so many times over on Spotify, it’s just literally so incredible, such a fantastic collection of beautiful covers, thank you for this! Would absolutely love for a sequel 🙂
This is so good..
So amazing, ty 🙌
Awesome sauce
Nobuo Uematsu is an amazing composer. I think he would like this.
Eternity: Memory of Lightwaves hits me every time
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL AND STUNNING!! This is actually my dream come true. I LOVE both classical guitar and Final Fantasy sounds!!! I especially loved the covers of Cosmo Canyon and Hymn of the Fayth!! Just one flaw: it’s too short 🙂 Would totally love if you covered more songs from Crisis Core, Dirge of Cerberus, and FFX (my personal favorite soundtracks haha)
👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
lovely playlist.. i think this deserve more view than random video out there 😉
Maravilhoso!!!
This complilation is so great and relaxing, is now one of my favorites to listen while working and studying
It makes me so happy that he just slowly breaks into a smile even though he’s trying not to with the chocobo theme. It’s just too damn happy.
It’s too bad you skipped over FFXI. There is some really good music you could have done.
I wish I could like this more than once! This is an incredible arrangement and very well executed sir. This went straight into my study playlist without hesitation. Keep up the good work and thank you for posting these Final Fantasy bangers!
Just beautiful. Expressiveness and phrasing A+. So wonderful to be able to understand what the melodies are trying to say.
Unbelievable performance – thank you.
Toca muito irmão.
Você da aula de Fingerstyle eu toco so o basico e queria aprender tocar assim e sou fã do final fantasy
Just from the title and first couple minutes o already think you deserve more subs
Oh, I love it
(*^-^*)
Thanks my friend! A work of a master!
Streets of Rabanastre <3 <3 FF XII doesn't get enough credit <3
Awesome Dude!! Classic Final Fantasy Song with Classical Guitar!! These all are treasure from my childhood time.. Bravo!!
You also change your basic guitar tuning depends to the song you’ve play..
I cried at 1:16:35 Those who played the game will understand *sob*
Omg so goooooooood
that vamo alla flamenco was nuts – was fully expecting a loop, not both parts to be played at the same time. fair play.
Skipped FFXI which has excellent guitar compositions. :C
1:07:41 the reason we’re all here
As a music lover I haven’t been blown away like this in a long time! Such beautiful melodies executed with such emotion and skill.
OMG @ 45:05 YES!!!
@30:05 I love you; please marry me
A man who is a true fan of the game. Plays the song exactly how you would feel when you play the game. Please do 1000 words from x-2. 😀
What a cool arrangement. I’ve shared this link w/some friends and we’re inspired to try to do some piano/guitar duets thanks to you. Ofc not nearly as proficiently but still, inspired. Thanks for your hard work and your art!
Amazing renditions of every song. I’m listening to it in the background while I work. However, I just wanted to mention that you missed some really great gems in not including XI and XIV. While I understand that not everyone has played them because they’re MMOs, just check the soundtracks out. XIV’s is a masterpiece in itself, and I was really disappointed when the songs went from XII to XV.
Daium
Thank you so much for your work, it’s beautiful beyond words! Liked, subscribed ans shared!
I wished I had gotten to play these games back when I was a kid so I could have nostalgia… but was too poor or something 😛
That first strum after playing the Prelude arpeggios….goosebumps. I can tell I’m really going to enjoy the next 2 hours of my life!
Nobuo Uematsu is an absolute musical genius. Why he isn’t a world-famous orchestral composer outside of the gaming industry is beyond my understanding.
So glad I stumbled across your channel. Your skill and energy is unreal. Thank you 🧡
Awesome My Friend!! Just Straight Awesome!!
Amazing. Thanks.
Suteki da Ne is good on classical guitar but can’t capture the emotive quality the japanese singer does in the original piece.
I loved the original soundtracks as a kid (and I still do). Now, I’m listening to this playlist with my firstborn son. He seems to like them too!
Very beautiful! Lightning’s Theme!
1:18:37 – “Listen to my story. This may be our last chance” ><
Sir! Thank you so much! This is a gem! This video is a gem! You made my day!
I’ve finally found the man I’m going to marry.
I’d love to learn Tifa’s theme. It would be perfect around a fire 🙂
Very impressive!. Thank you. This is my new favourite for writing, or relaxing, or sleeping, or just about anything 🙂
Was looking at who did the arrangements and I never thought I’d see the legend Lonlonjp’s name ever again <3 Reminds me of the good ole GameTabs.net days c: This was incredible John!
That into seens to me like a good warm up scale 😯
That Cosmo Canyon version was dope!
Beautiful performances. Your love of this series and it’s music is evident.
No puedo dejar de tener escalofríos cada vez que escucho uno de los temas que marcó mi infancia… maravilloso.
Fisherman’s Horizon, you are legendary my man.
He skipped FFXIV and leaned into FFVII… 🙁
Love the arrangements. What device are you using to prop up the guitar on your left leg side? I dabble in classical would love to know what that is.
wow the 1st track made me teary-eyed remembering playing this game with my granma still alive back then bring me food while I was glued on the game
damn… that vamo alla flamenco… feelsgood..
KWEEHHHHH…
Thank you for sharing this! Simply amazing!
.75 speed for the first song
Goose bumps when I am impressed by something. Watching this video, I got goosebumps all over my body lol. I was very impressed. The terrible situation of the new coronavirus continues, and the number of infected people is increasing in Japan as well. Please be careful about your health including your family. Thank you!
Thank you so beautiful guitar songs. I love FF
Wtf you should have way more views!
ad humming along my own extra track. thank you for this, i needed this right now. 😀
playing through FF V rn and that lennas theme hit just right. wow
Dat Cosmo canyon tho
Hola! Te escucho desde España y tú trabajo es asombroso. En concreto, final fantasy 8/VIII, casi no distingo la música original de tu versión! Estoy in love 💙💙💙 escuchar esto me da mucha nostalgia 🥲🥲 y buenos recuerdos 🤗 un saludo y sigue así!
Love it but if only there is secret library daguerreo guitar cover, it’ll be better. If only I could play guitar and play it to myself during my birthday, it should make me happy enough to celebrate my own birthday (albeit my birthday has passed for over a week though)
Can I call you the oath ? (FF8)
wow, incredible! this is top tier work. your take on Minamizawa’s ‘Those Who Fight’ from VII was exceptional – i’ve listened to his version of it countless times, and yours was even cleaner! cheers for this mate 🙂
Ramanastre arr is so cool.
Fantastic job!
Crazy!
(o_O) waaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Wow… things like balamb garden from ff8 came to my mind, things I thought i had forgotten…. Thank you man. Gj (7, 8, 9 specially!!!)
I realy don’t like to play RPG games… But I do love Final Fantasy tunes, and John… you are awesome.
Really enjoy listening to this video. I was working while listening to it.
Thanks for sharing your talent!
Probably the best video that I found in this past few years. Best BGM for studying! Thank you!
You’re a very accomplished musician. Bravo!
this is awesome! you are very very skilled, good to see all the emotions on your face while playing these pieces! 🙂 a fellow guitarist
Dali!!!!!! Yes!!!! And Vamo! FF9 for life! You can totally hear the swords clashing in vamo lol
Play some Skynyrd, man!
Right in the feeeeeels
You play it so well that I almost thought i was hearing some tracks straight from the game.
WTF…😨 Does this really sound like a guitar? The first song was like the sound of a harp!
I’m a grown man but Aerith’s Theme kills me every time, your cover of it was unreal and captures the whole emotion we all felt hearing this after she died
OMG, amazing. Você merece milhões de inscritos!
Thank you
so good
Not even in limit break or trance can I play like that.
“You held the light of hope in your heart and achieved the impossible.”
kudos
Listening to it like this makes it hit all the more harder how epic these games are.
This is absolute perfection. I couldnt be more impressed with how well this just fit. If i could like this a million times it wouldnt be enough. Congratulations on this amazing work you did. You have made so many peoples day by putting this out there ❤
Wow.
Just had surgery and started bingeing final fantasy Dissidia Opera Omnia
I think this is my favorite Balamb Garden arrangement, thank you <3
1:08:27 KWEEHHHHHHH!!
Expert.
I’d love to see the analytics on this video
When you take a person who loves to play guitar… mix in a person who loves playing Final Fantasy… and add a dash of a person who is emotionally artistic…. This is what is produced. Absolute perfection on all aspects. 10/10 would recommend (and did to my entire work group… 30,000+ people).
wow, love it! Great job!
you’re version of final fantasy VII main theme is beautiful man
Duuude…this is what I call perfection * _ *
God bless you sir.
This is spectacular!! You are a talented guy and I am very thankful that you chose to share your gift with everyone!
so good
My lord you sir are a F@%@^ Final Boss of the guitar universe 🤟
Absolutely entrancing, A+ mate
Absolutely phenomenal dude. Just got back into playing guitar after years of putting it off. After I finish learning River Flows In You I’ll be attempting a lot of this playlist.
I cried when I heard the second song, I swear one day when I finally get married, Im playing that song as I walk down the isle XD
So damn good. Someone who uses his talent for the right thing
🤯
I think what’s incredible about your covers is your not trying to change the music your paying tribute to it 👌 This is something sqaure Enix fails to understand with ost remasters over producing a song doesn’t make it better
Via purifico! This song is a bliss
Fantastic! Got goosebumps during Aeriths theme, Lennas Theme and Theme of Love.
Dude ! This vidéo is so good I’m coming back to it every time. The part of ff8 always almost break my heart
you gained a new sub. magnifico
Great!!!
Wonderful collection dude! Thanks for this! 👏👏👏👏
You, Sir, are a god. i didn’t know how much i needed this until i found this
Absolutely beautiful.
I looked through your videos and noticed you have a ton of Final Fantasy music, —but no Chrono Trigger! Here’s hoping you just haven’t gotten around to it. 😉
Ahead on Our Way is just a perfect music piece. This is a great arrangement.
I’m a long time fan of FF and this is fantastic to listen to while working or reading… I’mma be playing this for sleeping too. Thanks so much for all the hardwork put into this.
Aaaand I’m crying. It’s just been such a tough year of isolation with the pandemic and I used to go to live shows with video game music from my childhood. Plus they had bands play songs like these at cons that I used to be able to go to. Maaan I miss normal life.
To the 14 people who gave this video a thumbs down. I think I speak for everyone. FU.
This is just amazing!
I am a huge fan of conan the barbarian and D&D the music in conan kind of pairs with the music before thalsa doom attacked the village to when he did and when they shopped for items or hit a town
FF6 or 3s world map music was so relaxing
Beautiful! This brought back so many memories. Melodies of life and To Zanarkand 😭❤
Thax for this kupooo
THIS IS AWESOME SCREW THE PPL WHO THUMBS DOWN
Very well done love it. However the long nails grossed me out but no judge here
Beautifully amazing!!!
9:32 did someone just accidently whistle to the music? lol
Glad to see the actual feelings put into the playing. It really does effect the sound
you sir, are incredible.
Amazing work. I use this video to program, write and do other creative work. Thanks for sharing. PS FF VIII has the best songs 🙂
You manage to get such a rich sound when you play. Ive tried many of these pieces but its really hard getting them to sound as good as you do 👏
Balamb garden will always be my kryptonite. It brings me straight to Squall’s Dormitory.
Very very well done ! It’s a pleasure to listen to and that’s great you also put Minamizawa’s arrangement !
Thanks a lot for this hard work
Nicely done , bravo :)!
I imagine the Distant World concerts/cds showing off Nobuo Uematsu’s works when performed by a full orchestra may have been an inspiration for these performances. Maybe not, but I feel blessed to have discovered both.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
merci beaucoup !!
Today is the first day trying to quit smoking and man it’s been rough. Thank you for at least providing some relief <3
There’s a lot of amazing versions of songs on here. I think Searching for Friends from VI and The Dark Crystals from III are my favorites, but they are all so good.
43:03 ☺️❤️
愛が無ければ出来ない演奏ですね!
Man, you gave me goosebumps. Extremely beautiful. Thanks.
your tone quality is amazing.
Needs more FF9 Rep.
Loop ✔
Thank you John, I love FF and those soundtracks played by you on guitar sound even more magic.
Amazing ! Wow ! 👍👏👏
i have some FF arrangements but this XD aakk damn good, well anyway, i wish you play someday “one Winged angel”
Ну это пиздец как круто!!!Я как Фанат Final Fantasy , тащусь просто.Respect.
OH MY GAH!!!
Why did I discover this just now.
Man, that’s awesome. Thank you!
I had a very pleasant time listening to this, thank you.
34:21 I was absolutely just tranced in
im weeping rn
thank you
wow good job ♥
So glad that i found this gem in youtube. Amazing artist!
So much FF1 love <3
Everytime I hear prelude in a new FF game I get so emotional that I almost cry in front of my console. (In most of the games this happens in the menu before the game starts lol)
I’m so amazed when I run across videos like this. You, sir, are an amazing and gifted guitarist. Thank you for blessing us with this beautiful work of art!
すごい。感動です。日本語でごめんなさい。
Hi John thank you so much for putting this together. I can feel your emotions through the screen man it’s crazy — so well done.
I’m not sure if you’re into this, but I feel you’d make some pretty amazing renditions of music from The Last Of Us. A lot of it is some really beautiful and somber guitar solos. Listening to you play “The Dark Crystals FFIII” had a Last of Us vibe to it (especially around 13:40) which is what gave me the thought. Either way, keep doing you
最高!
この単純な言葉で全てだ。
He shortened the appregiio. =(
the ffix songs had me in tears.. 👏👏👏
You skipped FF11…
great job
OMG <3
Final fantasy soundtrack is a best ost of the world!!
Crazy… Amazing work man.
Bordel j’en ai les poils qui s’hérissent….
Magique le thème de Aéris.
Incredible!!!
you must have heard Chrono Cross.. That also have a good musics !!
That Suteki dane !!! Ooghh..
I’m melting…
Right in the feels
01:16:35 okey, i´m done…this is too much… :`(
nice presentation, could you play final fantasy castle cornelia too? Thanks..
Hello
Memory of Lightwaves is another that, towards the end, gave me hints that you’re holding back on some rocking embellishments. Give it to us!
Suteki Da Ne has an AMAZING riffy section at 1:25:30 that makes me want to listen to more of your interpretive covers than the straight reproductions I’ve heard so far
“Breezy” is so perfect I sort of forgot which version I was listening to.
Mon héro !
smiled through the whole video. thank you
I’ve got the feeling this video will get million views
Just wow
54:54 Ah my heart and soul feel so light and happy with this song!
MMMM the place I’ll return to someday is seriously a great song and you nailed it.
This was mindblowing
Man, amazing job! Just finished listening to the whole thing. Fantastic background music while I work from home! Thank you for this!
Underrated artist. We support such talent like this one. People support idiot people nowadays. Sorry just facts.
It is Beautiful☺️
i’m a very simple person,i see or hear final fantasy stuff i like
Don’t know why I’m crying, it just reminds me of my childhood so much when life is much more simplier
This arrangement of Searching for Friends is *killing*
最高です!
Wow mate! That is a one hell of a guitar! What would be your recommendation of one that is similar to the sound but at under 1K USD?
Oh man… This is my childhood…
I’m so glad I saw your reddit post on ff tactics. Amazing work!!!
Thanks for doing Hollow from FF7 Remake… (50:29). Love that song…
This guy 100% Complete Classical Guitar. We’re watching his end credits.
Your a legend
makes me feel comfortable and have good thoughts about good memories. Muchas gracias ❤✨
Thank you John… This is nostalgic.. feels like Im back as a child again…. Thank you for the effort making this music
gracias
7k subs ?? you should have a million with that skills .. if anyone here knows who lonlonjp is .. he is like lonlonjp ..
A 7777 hit
This is incredible man. Well done!!
You are amazing
I didn’t much care for the sped up o.g. final fantasy song you led off with. Glad I stuck around for the rest tho. Excellent work 🙂
I seriously can’t stop listening to this.
This deserves way more views. Very clean sound. Awesome.
-_-b Respect
Very impressive and Great guitar player
I’m currently learning piano to play some of my favourite Final Fantasy songs. I keep seeing music-related videos and saw/listened to your entire video. Love it !
Wonderful.
Beautiful, made me realize ff was made for classical guitar. I can see the love for the songs in his eyes.
I can just say wow! I closed my eyes listening to some of my favourites, really taking in the music, revisiting the feelings when playing the game so long ago now. Nostalgia. Thank you!
Your sound is “Suteki Da ne”.
Is this on Spotify? Thanks for this
Master piece !!!
I start to cry when I hear the songs that remind of playing these games as a kid
Wow, these are absolutely amazing!
Have you ever played Final Fantasy 14?
I would love to hear your renditions of the songs from there.
Wow…Suteki Da Ne is truly a masterpiece… I can only dream of inventing a song like that.
7 dislike: Kefka; Sephiroth; Sin; Kuja; Artemisia; Vayne Solidor; Zeromus.

Wow John, this is beautiful. Just stumbled across it today and wish I’d run across you sooner! Will be checking out the rest of your content too. Kind regards!
this is truly awesome. thanks for putting this together.
45:12 <3 <3
Searching for friends is so well made god ! <3
Uematsu would be proud

Amazing, very well done. I’m just a little sad
FFXI didn’t get any love as its one of my favorite soundtracks of all time
This made me wanna play all the Final Fantasy games again. Nostalgic and what flawless guitar skills. Agree with the others, definitely love having this on the background while working.
the five people who disliked this ….. ??
Amazing! I predict at least one full background watch per day for the next two weeks
Awesome dude!~
Very Impressive, you’re like a Bard with you skills!
te falta odio sasuke
You’re so underrated. I love this mix so much. Would you want to do a cover of Yuna’s Ballad? First time seeing your channel and I’ll be here listening to your music on loop at work every day :3
Amazing performance!
Breezy~ <3
Magnifique 💪🏻👍🏻😍
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WGyFaucjmBw this is a good cover
Wish I knew how to play guitar or keyboard so I could play these iconic pieces of music
Subscribed 👍🏻
Awesome!! The best Final Fantasy Guitar Collection!
Wow, very nice. And what a workload! :O People who don’t play a musical instrument sometimes forget how much work it takes to play so many different pieces!
Big like from Switzerland!
PS: Why did you not include any songs from FF14? It also has some very nice compositions!
I listen to this video when I do my university work. You’ve helped me complete a few assignments already! Thanks mate, it sounds beautiful!
Not only play the pieces perfectly you also evoke of feeling and nostalgia of the original soundtracks. You even included arrangements from lonlonjp. Amazing.
hello john I’m like you sound so much. now i see this albam on your artist profile from apple itune store and I buy finished this albam at once. thank you for about very nice classic guitar solo show.
Thank you for this. I’m glad I heard you play.
This is so beyond next level… thank you so very much for this!!! “To Zanarkand” will always give me mad feels.
This is Omnislash levels of awesome!
These are good. Look into ffxi. I think they sounds the best and you will enjoy playing them.

Thank you , you really made my day. Congrats and your efforts really shows off!!!
finally I found the guy I listen to in spotify when I search Nobuo Uematsu’s guitar collection albums…great job!!
That is, how to take advantage of these times. Great work! Be proud!
You only have 6k subscribers, you are fantastic!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
Damn! This is colossal 😲
I really appreciate it. Thank u so much!!!
An applause from Japan!
Such amazing mastery of each song… Absolutely amazing. Just wondering, how many takes did you do for each song?
ffxi? ffxiv? where!? Ronfaure from xi is an obvi inclusion and xiv has the giga catalog of tracks.
anyway am still very thankful for this vid beautiful playing.
Amazing job learning all of these. Nobuo Uematsu would be proud of this. You have honoured his vision beautifully.
No XI or XIV?
Absolutly FABULOUS ! Thank you 🙂
I’m a highly anxious night worker, I’m discovering your medley à 7.45AM before going ro bed… I just wanna say thanks, I know it requiered a great amount of work to achieve that.
This is really amazing!
Does the Chocobo theme music count as country? ‘Cus I can say I like that at least..
I was about to go game, but then this turned out to be 1:49:17 long, and I’m not so uncultured that I would have this playing as BGM to some FPS or MOBA.
Transported me back to the times when I played the games themselves.
Thank you for such beautiful renditions, been a fan of Final Fantasy since childhood.
I’ll be checking out the rest of your collection on Spotify for sure.
This videos like/dislike ratio must be protected at all costs.
Amazing!!! You’re very gifted, thanks for bringing us this joy!
This is criminally underrated. Great job!
About 15 songs in and it seemed like you enjoyed the Chocobo theme the best. I don’t blame you! Great background stuff while I’m at work today. Well done sir!
Wonderful! Thanks for this brilliant upload. May I ask where you found the arrangements of these pieces? I’m finding it very difficult to find a copy of Minamizawa’s transcriptions anywhere!
You deserve a lot more of recognition and also, views, but nonetheless thank you very much for this video.
so natural, effortless, and nostalgic
LV99 performance
I really enjoyed your performance brother, thank you for sharing your talents.
I remember first time I insert the FF9 CD to my Play Station and hear the “The Place I’ll Return to Someday” music on the opening, from that time I know the game will change my life forever.
Thank you so much for this. You’re underappreciated.
EPIC <3
Feel so good to listen to
Loved this!
This is amazing. Nobou Uematsu is a genius.
The best thing i found on youtube!! Loved it so much! Thank you 🙏🏽🖤
Thanks for this, truly beautifull performance. ❤❤
A masterful contribution to YouTube! A true love letter to one of gaming’s greatest series of all time. Your performance helps to further solidify the legitimacy of gaming as a respected medium. Never stop playing, dude.
All praise to the great Nobuo Uematsu!
Yeah!
Sin duda si más gente conociera el mundo de final fantasy serias famoso… olé por ti😁👍
I love how he goes into battle mode right after Aerith’s theme. Oof, and that fanfare. Loved it all.
Great stuff, man.
Really worth of time to watch till the end… thanks… such a nice play … bring back my old memories … I Love FF so much .. especially 7 , 8 and 9 🙏🙏
Amazing work, truly brought on all the feels from playing all these games as a young teen. 👌🏻
I came here because of Sam Griffin and I am in no way disappointed! I was so pleased to here some of Lonlonjp’s arrangements in here too! Thank you so much for doing what you’re doing!
Minamizawa ??
C est pas Nobuo uematsu qui a créé ces splendide musique ?
Thanks for this! Masterful work of art
First time on this channel – I knew right away the whole album was gonna be good so I went ahead and purchased on the iTunes store (I like physical CDs best but $10 for nearly 2 hours of expertly arranged music is well worth it) and also subscribed. As long as I’m here – look into doing a Suikoden 2 cover of the “2 Rivers” theme!
Who is the heathen son of a thousand whores that dared to dislike this video?
God have mercy on your soul.
WHO IS THE DOWNVOTE? I want to talk to you asap!
Very impressive
I mean, even a person who is not interested in making music can understand the hardship to make these arragements. Very well played, the man who deserves millions of subs, very well!
Nice 😀
Simply awesome. Wish there was some FFXI, though. Love the content!
Man, I knew 35 seconds in I was going to like and subscribe. How does this only have 17k views?
whoa, well done lol. Pretty talented Id say!
I was pretty sure daisuke minamizawa and lonlonjp were actually the same person? Are they not?
Protaginists in FF always seem to have no choice. That waas the point right? This music always reflect those motivations. And we thought it was limited to movies 😀
You suon of a bitch. I’ve played all of these games and you had to dredge these emotions back. I love you 🙂
26 minutes in…there she is.
Thank you, Sir.
Magical. Thank you so much for this gift. I was exploring your VGM library, and saw a respectable 16 videos. Then I found this absolute beast of no less than 46 songs, and not just melodies, but full, breathing arrangements, all exquisitely rendered. So much gorgeous ground covered here. Again, thank you.
Magnificent, thank you. Made me cry of how delightful it sounds.
Not sure how this got through YouTubes slog of an algorithm to reach me, but glad it did. Instant sub and bell ring from me sir. Great work on this.
Uematsu would be proud!
Not a single downvote. Is this a miracle?
The whole thing is phenomenal but it killed me when it hit Rose of May and Cosmo Canyon, both were just such good renditions they SANG, and they’re both already such beautiful songs and the guitar just added a whole new dimension to it.
Tone is excellent, very well done!
Fantastic
Square should be hiring you to play at conventions with the remake in the making. Not that there’s anything happening at the moment lol. But when things get back to normal, I imagine you’d bring in some big crowds at these places. Would be great advertising for you both.
i wonder if you could look into secret of evermore
13:05 when the first strum hits 😮
this should have more likes and views…
Beatiful!, thanks!
This whole compilation was great, thank you for doing this! The finger style solo at 56:00 was epic
Love it! Thanks for 1.5 hours of enjoyment. Like, subscription, bell.
Absolutely incredible
Awesome 😍😍😍
Wonderful John!!
You spoony bard!
merinding dengernya…i like….^^
Legend
After enjoying this for an hour I looked at the info under the video and I was completely shocked to see that it has less than a million views. An amazing amount of talent and work went into this video and it really shows. Keep it up because it’s very, very good!
awsome
I’m so happy that this has 0 thumbs down.
It brings back my childhood memory! Thank you so much!!!
Amazing work.
How are there not more likes on this? This is amazing!
Oh my gosh, now I’ll have to play them again from I to XV….
First video I have ever seen with 0 dislikes. For good reason, these are FLAWLESS playbacks. Unreal man.
Just found the playlist of my dreams.
Clean, gorgeous playing, sir. Well done 👏
Thank you
There’s nothing better than listening to almost two hours of music from my favorite game series played absolutely beautifully. Suteki Da Ne is one of my favorite songs and wow that was just beautiful. Thanks for taking the time to make this, great song selection too!
Beautiful <3
I knew final fantasy had amazing music but I guess I forgot how beautiful it really is. I even caught myself feeling mezmarised on the songs that would normally be just background music. Good job, this was beautiful. I’m glad I clicked on your video.
This is exactly what I needed today.
You are very very talented, I really loved this collection played on guitar, without exaggeration I can tell you that you took me back to my childhood and it was beautiful. I already subscribed and leave my like, greetings from Mexico.
#FFF (Final Fantasy Forever)
this is so amazing thank you for making this it fills me with a lot of joy your fluency on the guitar and the effort it must of took you will forever have my gratitude 🙂
Perfect!!!
FF6 > FF7 > FF8 > FF4 > FF9 > FF10 > FF5 > FF3 > FF1 > FF15 > FF2 > FF13 (11 and 14 don’t count)
What is the different he and sam grifith.. Hmm
you are the mvp bro dont ever let anybody tell you otherwise !!!
What a great way to spend an hour and a half. The spirit of Uematsu will never die! Wonderful rendition of some of the most beautiful music ever written. Thank you for keeping the flame of these classics burning! May the echoes of gamings golden years continue to sound through the generations!
Oloco! Surreal, esse gosta de final fantasy… parabéns, impressionante esse trabalho.
This is freaking amazing!
I hope someone as crazy as you comes up with a 1-hr video of fingerstyle Pokemon music
Great video man. All these tracks are great, but it’s especially nice for me to see anyone giving some love to FF8 tracks. I was waiting to hear the harmonics on “Balamb Garden” and giggled when he finally played them. Great renditions of “Fisherman’s Horizon” and “Eyes On Me”, too!
I like instrumental versions of that last one better than the original. Its a good song, but I remember it felt a little out of place since it was a pop song thrown in toward the end of a game with a mostly instrumental soundtrack. If they’d used more leitmotif for Eyes On Me throughout the game, maybe an addition rendition or two, I think the Faye Wong version would’ve hit harder.
Ffx is so good the music almost make me cry
How it can be the first time i get to hear a song from you 🤷♂️
wow your amazing mate a real inspiration to me
Really didn’t know you work, its incredible 🤩 You deserve far more views 😍
Bravo! Very beautiful!
That’s awesome! I’ve already added this video to my playlist to listen to while working
Thanks for the songs!! 💖
I hope Minamizawa sees this or has seen this. You used a lot of his arrangements clearly, but soooooo beautifully! This is years of devotion made tangible. Well done, friend. Subbed =)
amazing work
That Aerith arrangement had me in tears…My beautiful dog passed away recently and I was thinking about her during your play through. Thank you so much for this, I miss her so much. I also love that you did Via Purifico. I’d love to hear a Silence Before The Storm arrangement. Bless <3
Those harmonics are crispy
Amazing work John! Keep it up!
Extraordinary work!
Huge FF fan
Have you done “1000 Words ” from FF X-2?
Great! Thank you for sharing this nice playing !
How does this not have more views?! Could listen to this all day…and I have..
Incredible resource here! Can only imagine the work that went into this video and subsequent arrangements. You are doing great work man!
😮I’m so happy someone put all this work together! Great performance(s)! 👏
Dude, you just made my childhood in my favorite instrument. Thank you so much man, and absolutely fantastic playing.
Incredible. I’m disappointed YouTube didn’t show me this incredible album and had to discover you from your comments on my channel. I’m about halfway through and I swear each performance is more breathtaking than the last. Thank you for this, absolutely loving it.
Oh man the FF7 part just hits me in the feels
This guy looks like the guitar version of cobus
DUDE YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! I MEAN THAT100%
I loved hearing lonlonjp’s arrangement of Tifa’s theme. You play beautifully 🙂
Thank you for the memories. I noticed some notes were off in a few of the pieces, but nothing which ruins the music. From one Final Fantasy fan to another, I am very grateful to listen to this.
This is one of the most impressive and moving things I’ve ever seen. You are inspiration.
this guy knows how to enjoy Final Fantasy in 2021!
It’s crazy how, hearing this outside of the games, played like this, and then thinking about the games with each song, you really see how masterful the original composers are in portraying the feel of each games distinct settings and stories through the music. With most of these games they didn’t have spoken dialogue. They had to rely solely on the music to help tell the story. That’s the best way I can describe what this video just did to my brain. I hope it makes sense. Lol
ADD Battle at the Big Bridge. im w8ing :D!!!!!!
This is epic ! great work 🙂
Truly magnificent. Found your channel by searching for “Dear Friends”, subscribed immediately. Thank you
That “To Zanarkand” arrangement has put me in the feels for a little over a week now and I keep coming back to listen.. Thank you so much for sharing your talents, John.
Edit: It’s been a year and i’m still coming back, and know i’ll keep coming back.. I’ve been to a couple of your live streams, too. to anyone seeing this I recommend hitting up the live streams and supporting our man!
Thank you for make this video, great job!
Holy crap 1:21:33 the intro to Via Purifico gave me chills! Definitely brings back memories!
Uff. just heartuching😊❤️❤️.
Love from india😊❤️🙏🇮🇳.

I just found my new goodnight / sleep playlist when I can’t sleep 😀
Thats incredible John i m listening every day this album.
I have one question, can you do one of the theme songs of Final fantasy tactics? There a lot of memorable songs there as well.
As a huge FF fan Thank you for giving one of the best albuns i have ever heard.
So good that I nearly shed my tears.
1 hour and 50 mins of 🔥🔥
Would have loved Battle on the Bridge FFV…
John i really apreciate your work, so thanks for this beautifull piece of art, but I would really appreciate it if you could bring under the apple tree from ff vii crisis core, keep it up john thanks 🙂
This is amazing my friend. Well done. 👌🏼
04:05 this is what i’m looking for.. 😀🙏😭
Finially you complete all the video editing, amazing work !!! I watch and enjoy every of them !!!
Thanks for doing it. I’m really grateful for your work.
Tq for nice melody you bought.. I enjoying it.. already subs you..
Good job Mr. Oeth. But you really spent 1:49:17 about 1 hour and 50 minutes. I actually can’t even sit for that long. See you next week I guess.
Nylon o metal?
The amount of practice to get to this level of fluency with each song, unbelievable dude. Your phrasing is something else, just and effortless flow from one note to the next 🙂
Incredible! I’ll spend some time listening to this during work this week!
❤️❤️❤️ my favorit game……..
And. There. It. Is…
This is really beautiful, thanks <3
Heck yeah, ive been longing for this !!!!
So many years of stories and emotions in a single video 😭😭😭
