I stumbled across this on youtube a few weeks ago. I've listened to a bunch of the tracks multiple times, and they're great. just posting it because I think it stinks he's only getting a few hundred views per video for what seems like a good amount of work

FF6 - Phantom Forest, Searching For Friends, Epitaph, Gau's Theme

FF5 - Home Sweet Home, The Decisive Battle

LTTP - Kakariko Village, Lost Woods, Credits

there's others from FF, Chrono Trigger Secret of Mana, Lufia, Mega Man.

 

[i-Lo]

Just listened to his tremendous arrangement for FFIV love theme.

And subscribed. Thanks for bring him to our attention.

 

[jb1234]

He's very good.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Wow at Epitaph, goosebumps. Goes to show how brilliant these arrangments are.

I'm give these a listen later. Love vg music in YouTube.

 

[mashoutposse]

He is incredibly accurate and precise. Subscribed - thank you.

 

[Nocturnowl]

Forest of Mystery/Lost Woods will always get me.
And man, Gau's theme works perfectly.

 

[BlueTsunami]

The Chrono Trigger medley is also good stuff

[Kilrogg]

Thank you for making aware of this guy. Awesome covers.

His take on Frog's theme too, far removed from the heroic nature of the original piece, but extremely moving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEDAHpA1pDE

The guy needs more love. I can't believe he doesn't even have 1k subscribers yet.

Lufia - Boss Battle

Very nice!

 

[Kilrogg]

When I listen to the guy's Chrono Trigger covers, this is what I envision an up-to-date soundtrack for 8/16-bit era game remake. It seems like remakes always screw things up by doing weird takes on classics, and.or not giving the main melody enough presence in the overall composition. Really, all I ask is for sensible, passionate takes, at least for games like CT.

Like, if that C&D'd 3D Chrono Trigger remake was to come back from the dead and be made by Square Enix, I'd want them to hire this guy to do the soundtrack. It alone would make the remake worthwhile.

 

[turmoil]

Hard to believe that most of his vids have less than 1k views

 

[AzureSkies]

This is amazing.

This is exactly what I would want from updated SNES Square Enix covers.

 

[Miker]

Goddamn the Chrono Trigger OST is the fucking GOAT. The only OST that comes close is Chrono Cross.

 

[Earthbound64]

Final Fantasy IV Prologue

Goddamn the Chrono Trigger OST is the fucking GOAT.

Agreed.

 

[Karg]

Subscribed, thank you for sharing this.

 

[Brandson]

Wow this is better than a lot of officially arranged soundtracks. Great stuff. Mega Man and Actraiser are both very well done.

 

[ElectricThunder]

Some damn fine work there---hope this channel takes off and he's able to attack a wide range of the greats and the buried gems that folks have slept on.

 

[mashoutposse]

Wow this is better than a lot of officially arranged soundtracks. Great stuff. Mega Man and Actraiser are both very well done.

Crushed Actraiser.

 

[Kilrogg]

SHIT

 

[Mister Wilhelm]

His videos are fantastic but I wish he could incorporate even more instruments, some of the tracks feel a little thin. I'm sure this is probably intentional, but personally I'd like to see some people helping him.

 

[SabinFigaro]

Incredible. Just incredible.

 

[TheHolyTurnip]

Subbed, thanks.

 

[Head.spawn]

Holy shit.

Thread title tells no lies. Impressive.

He's about to get a ton more. Thanks for the link OP.

 

[jblank83]

Just listened to his tremendous arrangement for FFIV love theme.

You're right. That one is great.

 

[pestul]

Amazing. Thanks OP, subscribed.

 

[ThEoRy...]

I don't know any of these themes but this guy is impressive. Skills man, skills.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Nice, Thanks for the link, OP

 

[Jawbreaker]

Oh man, "Phantom Forest" is fucking beautiful. I've always loved that track, and it's being done absolute justice here. It retains that airy, mysterious quality.

 

[dragonlife]

Oh, shit. Subscribed. Thanks, OP. Listening to Decisive Battle was all it took.

 

[Great Guy]

Thx for linking. Gonna listen to all these and hope for some more FFV pieces. I can listen to that ost over and over.

 

[jett]

That's some nice music. I like how he has made the effort to make the instruments chosen sound as close to the original music, heh. It's good stuff. As far as one-man bands on youtube go this guy is up there.

I mean this piece from Actraiser is just impressive. It sounds so close to the original, and yet obviously not since it's all real instruments. It's like how it sounds in my nostalgia memory banks.

Listening to this extensive arrangement of Frog's theme from Chrono Trigger makes me wish he flexed his creative muscles more often as well. That's just great.

 

[Hayama Akito]

Wow, he's great. He reminds me of Rexage (he is also awesome).

 

[Omadahl]

These are beautiful. Gau's theme always gets to me; such a sad story.

 

[Net_Wrecker]

His take on Frog's Lament is just

cry evrytiem fam

 

[dragonlife]

Phantom Forest. OMG. I'm getting goose bumps. It's beautiful.

 

[Ogawa-san]

We're all just going to link everything he has there but holy shit, these two from Mega Man...

 

[Ricerocket]

Phantom Forest is so good. Now I gotta check the others.

 

[Anth0ny]

Incredible.

 

[Head.spawn]

This Chrono Trigger Medley... just chills down the spine. So good.

 

[dragonlife]

What's the first instrument shown in Phantom Forest called? I've always liked that sound when I hear it, but never know what it is.

I wish I knew more about instruments .

 

[LowParry]

Oh wow. Guy is super talented to be doing all of that. Subbed.

 

[RedRum]

I love these guys that do whole instruments by themselves. This guy has been my favorite for a wide range of stuff. You guys should check him out. He splits the video into the instruments he does too.

It's not an instrument used in a standard orchestra. I think it's an early music (Medieval or Renaissance eras) instrument of some kind but not sure exactly which one.

Edit: A viola da gamba, I think.

Zelda Dark World is AMAZING

Zelda Dark World is AMAZING

The ending credits to ALTTP is really really good.

 

[FromAtoX]

That was pretty awesome!

 

[RalliArtEvo]

very nice arrangements, loving the Secret of Mana stuff in particular.

 

[lcbrus]

Actraiser was amazing! It brought back so many memories.

I'd love to hear some orchestrated Castlevania 4 tracks.
