Starting with Matoya's Cave is perfect

FF1 is so underrated, from both a gameplay and musical perspective. Lots of people started on FF7 or later and missed out on some great stuff.

Final Fantasy 6 Will and always forever be a masterpiece, Great story and music!

Just here trying not to start bawling at work during Aeris's Theme.

No joke. Some of the THE BEST covers of Celes', Aeris' and Cloud's themes. God they hit so hard in the nostalgia.

Celes’s theme and Aerith’s theme always hits me in the feels 😢

Your arrangement of Aerith's (if it's yours?) theme litterally made me cry, in a moment where I believe I had something that needed to be externalized. I listen to music every day and I don't think I've found anything that's moved me as much in the past 5 years at least. Thank you for this.

This reminds me of those Final Fantasy MIDI medleys from back in the late 90s. I would listen to them for hours. You did a great job!

48:00 Dali village theme is so relaxing and beautiful. Also underrated. Yours was an amazing performance.

I write books. The beautiful piano music Lara plays help keep me in that creative state of flow. I love these Final Fantasy and the Castlevania songs best. Thank you Lara, for keeping a fellow artist fueled and inspired.

i'd love to hear your version of the castle from the 8. thank you for sharing your talent and passion with us.

I have played the piano for 39 years and have always wanted to arrange some old video game music on the piano but have never gotten around to it. Your arrangements are gorgeous and inspiring. I can't like your videos enough. Thanks for sharing your beautiful talent!

There's a Somewhere Over the Rainbow quality to Aeris's Theme that really encapsulates her story arc. She is the only surviving member of an entire civilization. And she is the heart of the party, pierced through the heart. Normally a non-interactive KZfaq lurker but you've really caught my attention.

the moment you realize how touching music can be when you randomly start crying to this beautiful piano play. thank you.

It feels so good when wonderful musicians play your favorite songs.

Am I lucky --- or what ? It is 6:06 AM in the eastern time zone this morning. And I caught Lara6683 playing her music with only 50 viewers ahead of me with the only comment being Lara herself 13-minutes ago !!! Usually, I catch Lara with thousands of viewers ahead of me and zillions of comments already. Nice job on this one Lara6683 and on all your ones before as well !!! ...Bruce of Myrtle Beach, SC**********

I'm the darkness You're the stars

Best Celes's Theme I've ever heard. Thanks for this!

Silence Before the Storm is a really neat arrangement that makes a good piece much more soulful

So much nostalgia when you play these beautifully put together rpg soundtracks. Your talent and familiarity of them all shows you've done more than learn the music but maybe a few hundred hours of gameplay haha. Well done

Wow! You are talented! You brought a tear to this old man's eye. Played FF1 when it first came out and you brought back great memories of my childhood. Thank you.

Theme of love is my fav FF song of all, and you performed in such a beatiful way..... so emotional... Obrigado from Brazil!!

Terra's Theme makes my chest swell with so much emotion.

Waking up to this. Life is good.

I am Japanese. I especially like the Chrono Trigger, FF 6. I was captivated by the beautiful melody. Thank you! 私は日本人です。 クロノトリガー、FF 6が特に好きです。 美しい旋律に虜になりました。 ありがとう！

Okay so I watched from start to finish, and restarted. After an hour of these beautifully recomposed compositions, Matoyas Cave hits the nostalgic button all over again.

It’s so good that I got tears in my eyes listening to this

such a beautiful video. It deserves many, many more views. Great job Lara.

Я слушаю эту всю музыку и просто восхищаюсь.

These song's bring tears trough my eyes.

Aeris theme will always get me in those first three notes. Its like remembering everything thats gone all at once.

I legit named my one-year-old daughter Aeris (as in that's her first name on her birth certificate) because my wife and I both love FF7 lol. Kinda funny, my daughter ended up with long brown hair and green eyes, maybe when she's older we'll have her cosplay as Aeris haha. Keep up the great work Lara6683! (note: I'm well aware the character's name is Aerith, however over here in the West her name was Aeris in the original PS1 release so that's what we went with).

I mean all of them were awesome! But my favorite one was @32:56 ahead on our way from ff7, so so good!

23.34 brings back so many memories, thank you.

Lara, you are just a serious blessing. :) Hope you are well! BTW, your top 20 is awesome!

Great selection, wonderful music, beautiful piano covers! (Nobuo Uematsu best composer ever!)

I love the soundtrack of FFIV. You play it so beautifully! And "Terra's Theme" and Celes's Theme" gave me goosebumps! Thank you.

Just hearing these songs make me so nostalgic and you play them so beautifully. Thank you.

Watching this after the remake is bringing all the feels back.

I was going to listen to this right before bed, then I realized it's over an hour long... Lara you're incredible! :) Time to listen to A Wish (Secret of Mana) and save this for later!

Celes theme is just chefkiss. Perfection.

Lara, this made my day, I loved it, thank you ♥️

Good picks! I'd probably stick in Rose of May or You're Not Alone from FFIX and Somnus from FFXV

Really beautiful and the donation sign of Xena is really cool times.

Ah how graceful "Kids Run Through the City" sounds

Thank you Lara. Final fantasy 9 is my all time favourite game. Listening to you play some of the music from it brings back all the memories from playing it as a kid! Such a beautiful piece of music.

WOW,absolutely FANASTIC !!!!

Wonderful playing! My favorite FF7 piece with the main theme motif is Words Drowned By Fireworks (during the date scene). My favorite FF7 piece with the Aerith motif is Flowers Blooming In The Church (during the scene when Cloud crashes through the church ceiling) No real reason I mentioned. :)

Many a day has there been made listening to these beautiful covers. Thank you for sharing the passion infused performance(s). :)

Thank you for this FF collection! I love how you feel the songs, and this gets reflected in the music, simply amazing!

At this moment... listening to your beautiful piano playing is my final fantasy.

I get chills when i hear those opening notes to Aeris's theme.

Wow what a great find from the youtube algorithm! I especially love Balamb Garden, exquisite.

Happy to see someone else who prefers Silence Before the Storm to To Zanarkand! That song is incredible

This music inspires me to be a better person, thank you for rippling the emotion.

Petit message de France pour te dire que ton talent est incroyable, tu est incroyable. Merci pour ces émotions, du fond du coeur !

22:38 ...and there we go... chills right down my spine, back up and the goose bumps all over my arms...

Well played, it was beautiful to listen to. Made me cry. Thankou.

My favorites: Main Theme of FF4 Terra's Theme Phantom Forest Cele's Theme Forever Rachel Aeris' Theme Main Theme of FF7 Ahead on our Way Eyes on Me Silence Before the Storm

Thank you so much for uploading your pieces on YT. I regularly listen to your mega medley and now will do the same with this medley, they really make me happy (and nostalgic).

Memorys in FF1... Bring the witch the Crystal Eye to get the Potion for the Elf Prince... ❤️

Loved every second of this. You really play with passion.

Lara you're amazing thank you so much for this magnificent performance.It makes me so calm and it uplifts me when I listen it.

Silence Before The Storm is my favorite song in all of Final Fantasy, awesome job. Damn, you are great!

Opening w/ Matoya's Cave theme is perfect :)

I'm not crying you are.

wunderbar ..wirklich super gespielt es weckt errinnerungen an damals es macht wirklich spaß dir dabei zuzusehen .. es scheint dir freude zu machen und diese freude gibst du an deine zuhörer weiter ..weiter so grüße aus deutschland .. und bleib gesund^^

Memories! Love this medley! Also love the shorts you're wearing when playing Aerith's Theme.

Thanks Lara, Listening to the classic FF songs always feels like coming home and the amount of emotion you play with means a lot to my ears.

At work, reading a book and walking around the office to get some exercise. The only thing that can make it better is having this playing in the background :-)

Simply amazing

Amazingly talented pianist, listening to this in the background and it is beautiful.

Thanks to you I feel young again!!! 😀😀😀

Well thats my evening sorted

My favorite is the main theme. But all of them are really great! 🤩

Didn't think that was possible, but both Terra's and Celes' themes here felt more powerful than the original. Celes' in particular, gave me chills. And brought tears to the corner of my eyes. So beautiful. I just found your channel a few days ago. Listened to 1 song and immediately subscribed. It's making me want to dust off the keyboard and start playing again. oh god... you followed that up with Forever Rachel... now I'm crying.

This really is beautiful. Balamb Garden and Dali in one video 😍

i listen to you while i work, thank you.

Wonderful epic arrangements, as always !

Only rediscovered this channel again after hearing your Night King listen and play. Forgot how nostalgic it is to listen to a lot of 90's themes and games. Keep up the great work :)

You had me at Matoya’s cave and then right into theme of love...sigh..Wonderful! Bravo!

Thank you for a wonderful hour! now i gotta replay the FF games :D

How am I just discovering you? You are amazing. Your work is so soul soothing. Just what I needed right now. Thank you 🙏 ❤️ blessings and good fortune to you always

This is a great playlist for studying! Great nostalgia music!

wow im so amazed at how beautiful this is! love your playing Lara

Matoya's Cave and Kids Running through the city are also two of my favorites.

Silence Before the Storm from FFX - perfect choice and beautiful performance! Best regards!

Listening to this while working... never worked so happy!

some fine picks played really well

Final Fantasy 6 is my favorite of all of them... Beautiful cover 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

I have a Patreon now! www.patreon.com/lara6683

love this but i missed To Zanarkand

I am so glad to see someone who likes Final Fantasy this much doing this, as Final Fantasy is so underappreciated. I also appreciate that you did not put One Winged Angel in here like literally every other KZfaqr who does Final Fantasy music, as that song is not that great.

Final Fantasy Super Collection. Also known as, Lara's Favorite Overalls Super Collection.

So beautiful. Just like the artist. Keep it up. ❤

Wow, kids run through the city... Such a shout. I didn't even know that one had a name, but once I heard you ring it out I realised it was one of my favourites that always stuck with me over the years, and totally deserving to go in here. Perhaps it will get the distant worlds treatment some day.

Some great choices on here. Credit where it's due.

You did Tifa! ❤️ Loved it Edit: awww maaan when Balamb Garden hit that brought me back. 😁 Edit: FFX-2 memory of lightwaves. I used to leave the game on as soon as I turned it on to hear that song back then. Awesome job on it
