Playing the Prelude smoothly with one hand is a feat in itself. Very impressed with the second half.

Good jorb.

This is fantastic :)

I adore the dynamics, they really make this emotive and ambient. Especially towards the end.

Great job, keep it up :D

Thought the old oblivion would post on this, excellent interpretation on two of my favorite pieces from the FF series. "Suteki De Na" being my favorite, great piece, easy 9/10.

Ugh...see, I love this so damn much. It's one of those songs that's recorded low enough, however, that if I try to go to sleep with my "Best of OC" playlist (which I would include this song in) that if I turned it up high enough to listen to this song, Cataclysmic Clash or Stained Glass Filth would startle the ever loving hell out of me as I'm about to fall asleep.

Aside from that minor gripe, this mix made me want to cry like a little bitch. Very emotional piece and yet another great solo piano work.

Wow. This remix defies most words, being more than the sum of its parts. Usually, for a mix I really like, I'll go segment by segment through it, describing exactly what I like about each bit. But this song is so good in so many ways that I'm going to find this task difficult this time. So good, I'm speechless.

Nevertheless, let me try anyway.

The Sound Quality: Excelent. Yes, I had to turn up my speakers, but doing so did not introduce any noise. The low volume is not there to mask any imprefections. Beautiful piano. BEAUTIFUL.

The introduction: I don't recognize the melody, and I'm assuming it's been made up by the arranger. But who cares... it's subtle, it's sweet, and it COMPLEMENTS the rest of the peice. A true introduction. In a word, it's heartrending. In a goodway.

The First Movement: The timing is... perfect. The dynamics are... perfect. The sustains, the pauses, the flow... perfect. This is wonderful.

The Prelude: Beautiful.

The Prelude as Background to Aeris: Stunning. I would have never thought to stick these two together... and... and... WOW. This is.. this is... YES! WONDERFUL! GREAT! PERFECT! AWESOME! And the skill to do the prelude with one hand while the other hand works at something completely different... my hat is off to you.

The Key Change: I disagree with the judge. It does work here, esspecially because things are so strong immediately afterwards. Strong here meaning "awesome".

The Ending: ...

...

I need to go cry now. I'm sorry.





This is wonderful and beautiful and excelenet piano and it evokes emotion and memory and.. and.. and..

Well Done.

I've been waiting for another one of Aeris' theme, this is the only song from the game that I actually know and this is excellent! It's so beautiful. Its amazing how he fits Prelude into there. This is just... Wow! Again, this is just beautiful and excellent!
