I might be crazy, but I'm just proud of myself for actually following through with this project after I announced I was going to do it! The whole thing was recorded over the course of four days. I originally had it in my mind to do it all in one day, but I gradually found out about all the obstacles, such as filling up my SD card, importing and processing 4K video, family distractions and barking dogs!
The video is one hour and forty-seven minutes long, and 16GB large. Eventually I would love to do this with the Chrono Trigger soundtrack and maybe another Final Fantasy soundtrack. There are so many hidden gems in these soundtracks that get very little attention! I tried to transition smoothly between each theme to make it one continuous track rather than each theme separately. It's the type of track you can just leave on in the background while you clean house or work or do school.
Thank you to Gerald for making the cool character gifs that appear for each character theme! And thanks to my Twitch community for encouraging the project, since I often play through large parts of the soundtrack on stream. Hope you enjoy!

underrated skill: tapping the iPad to change pages without missing a beat
Truly the hardest part 😂😂😂😂
@@KaraComparetto lol is it though?!
Cyan couldn't do it. He's afraid of technology.
I didn’t even notice the iPad 😂😂 was watching the playing
I struggle with that sometimes lmfao
What Nobou Uematsu was able to do with the SNES sound hardware was like creating the Sistine with a box of crayons.
lol
Ha, great analogy!
this is not your own original thought
@@alter_fgc hahahaha, busted! who is he plagiarizing?
@@Jason75913 Jeremy Jahns
"Eventually I would love to do this with the Chrono Trigger soundtrack (...)"
YES please!!
I would melt into a puddle of happiness.
@@ZealKingdom I would erupt into a volcano of joy.
My Zeal would be so great that my Mountain of Woe would crash into the Undersea Palace creating a Black Omen that only the music could dispel.
Yes!!!!
Yes!!!
In my humble opinion,
out of all the Final Fantasy stories,
6 was the saddest, and most beautiful
I just dont like 6 as much as 14 because of the annoying gay clown main villain.
Honestly I’ve listened to this 4 times in the last 24 hours. It’s so damn good
Thats 1/3 of your day!!! Hahah thank you Leonard!!
Totally agree
This video is criminally underrated. Incredible performance of an amazing soundtrack.
Underrated, how so? Everyone that has listened to it seems to love it.
@@cavemanbenWhatever it is, it's a crime he said.
I think what he was trying to do was express a heightened appreciation for it, and feels that wasn't represented by others to his liking. So he pulled out a strong phrase he's heard used before.
@@Christdelivermeyou don't have to be condescending. It's obvious what he's trying to say.
What an incredible performance. Thanks for bringing my childhood back to life in such a unique way.
Thank you so much Ben :)
czcams.com/video/D5uVAD7jliM/video.html This version is also breathtakin
@@KaraComparetto Hey Kara where did you manage to find all the sheet music for this? I can't seem to find them all online.
I can't believe I just found this. Final Fantasy VI was my second Final Fantasy game, my first being VII. VI holds a special place in my heart, and while VII was good, VI is the one that made me love the series. All the themes, both narratively and musically were just amazing.
So many people saying this! Makes me so happy, thank you!!
kids run through the city, celes' theme, searching for friends, every battle theme, so much to be excited for!
I always loved the Magitek Research Facility scene. The gameplay itself, and the score are both great. I can't quite figure what a Piano arrangement might sound like. Guess in a about 40 minutes I get to find out!
The theme to Narshe sounds amazing on piano. Definitely feels way more night club jazzy
When I see videos of seniors with dementia singing tunes in languages from their childhoods. I can't help imagine that Final Fantasy, Zelda, etc will come back to me in my 80s
It's rare that a franchise's music creates such lasting memories. The amount of talent Square-Enix packed into a 16 bit platform is absurd. They brought Japanese creative culture into a generation of young minds. Borrowing mythological references from cultures throughout history, to build the fantasy world.
This collection you've made is a huge accomplishment!
This is great thank you for sharing! My grandmother has Alzheimer’s and whenever I play familiar songs for her, she remembers all the words and sings along. I think you’re right that we will always remember these themes no matter what :)
@@KaraComparetto She's lucky to have someone thoughtful like you. Thanks for indulging my nostalgia too ;)
It makes me want to get back into piano!
Let's hope we won't get any form of dementia... :-) Your thoughts may sound romantic, but there is nothing worse than being dead and alive at the same time.
@@iacoposbrolli2393 To be honest, I've always wondered about that. Indeed, dementia is terrible for the loved ones, but what about the one with dementia? I know that at some point they become aware of their decline and that coming to terms with that is terrible, but once they've lost all memories, I've always wondered whether that's torture or not. I'm probably very naive, but I always thought not being aware of dying is a blessing in disguise. I'd certainly prefer it to having cancer and knowing I only have a few weeks to live. Am I being too naive?
The WHOLE soundtrack?! NICE! Can't wait to play this over and over again during my work day!
Right!! .. There is no other game soundtrack that makes my life happy, more than FF6 🎶🎵🔥🎹
The whole soundtrack... including the rare gem of a song magnificently titled, "What?"
Right there with you. Been playing this every day while working for the past week. This is just too amazing!
I deffinately play it often while i work. Nothing like a soundtrack from the childhood while working to get you through the day
Terra's Theme. my absolute favorite. How beautiful. 💕
First time I’ve ever "set a reminder" on CZcams... can’t wait to hear it!!!
Same!
Same!!!
Same
Same here
You guys don’t know how happy this makes me!! 😂
I can't believe quality performances like this are on CZcams. Truly we live in a golden age :)
For real! This is the kind of quality i feel like you normally have to pay for
The full FFVI soundtrack, with the plushies all over the piano AND cosplaying as Terra... this is undeniably the cream of the crop on CZcams!! I'd give it a million likes if I could. *o*
Ahahahhaa that makes me so happy!! :)
What a performance. What a soundtrack. What a game.
The greatest soundtrack in the history of entertainment! This is just beautiful..
I give that to Chrono Cross, but I certainly don't begrudge you your opinion. This game/score was the start of my enthusiastic love of video game music, and that of Nobuo Uematsu. His legacy is an incredible one. He and Johnny Williams (and a few others) wrote the score to my childhood.
@@herbsuperb6034 Chrono Cross is still in my backlog, but I can't wait to play it! Agreed that Uematsu and Williams belong in the same sentence when it comes to GOAT composers. Cheers.
lol agreed there are so many different themes and liet motifs for the various characters and they all come together in the end in a wagnerian fashion.
@@herbsuperb6034 FF6 music is better than Chrono Cross by a good margin. Chrono Trigger has better music as well IMO.
@@yokonakajima75 I love all three. I certainly don't begrudge you that opinion. Honestly, I think Final Fantasy Tactics is better than all three :-).
"I'll just listen to one more song" led me to listening to the entire thing start to finish! 🤣
Amazing work. Loved it!
Hahaha this made me smile!
@@KaraComparetto Please do this for Secret of Mana! At least one song.
Haha same! How can you stop?!
You've brought a complete stranger to tears Kara, thank you for this
Awww
Two complete strangers ❤🙏
Three... Or is it water magic? 🥲
Listening to this is like therapy for me. Playing FF6 has gotten me through some really dark times. Thank you for making this; it’s refreshing to hear, and you have played so seamlessly the whole time it’s uncanny how talented you are.
Thank you, this means so much to me! I love to know my music is helping someone else
Finally. The best FF gets some love. Now for the 3d remake that it's deserved for over a decade.
I agreeeee!
I really want a 3D remake but I also don't want it to suck...
Personally I think a good TV serie would be the way to go for the older FF
The best is ffvii. Cloud is just better.
I'm so glad Final Fantasy 14 brought back so much from prior FFs. Listening to this gives me strong Strormblood expansion vibes :D
Yessss me too!! 😂 my favorite is Doman Enclave 😁
I really don't know what to say, Kara. For real. This is certainly one of the most impressive things I have seen on CZcams. I have been following your channel for YEARS and this is probably you best work to date. Congratulations for such an endeavor, your talent and hard work is an inspiration to us! I'm really really happy for seeing someone put such an effort in songs that mean so much to me and other people. Take care and stay wel!
This means so much to me, thank you!!
agreed even seeing that you'd done the whole soundtrack from beginning to end Kara left me flabbergasted. I might need to become a patreon just out of sheer respect for the achievement, and I've never done that for ANYONE before
I can't wait for this. Especially Kids Run Through the City. Edgar and Sabin. Who am I kidding, I'm looking forward to all of them!
I’m really still too emotional from reliving so many great memories through music, that was so beautifully done. Thank you so much Kara for putting in the work to put that together. FFVI was such a great game, the past two hours were really just magical.
Thank you for being there Philip!!
The entire soundtrack? I have the OST on CD, it's like 4 disks! I'll need a new playlist just for this.
what a nostalgia trip! so happy to see FFVI getting so much love even after so many years! a project to be proud of for sure :) hope similar concerts follow!
It’s a classic and always will be!
This is the kind of thing that is only done once in a lifetime.
Decades come and go... and we don't see anything like this since 1994.
Until you were born Kara and for some reason beautifully repeated what no one else did before Nobuo Uematsu.
No words to express how much you blew my heart with your virtuous effort and your love for these songs immortalized in the hearts of those who played this game Kara.
I want you to know that your video will echo for eternity.
1:05:41 it chills me
Wow thank you so much for this 😭😭❤️❤️❤️
Incredible how this takes us all back to a time of great joy, no matter what adversities we may have been facing at this time. When we were filled with youth and innocence.
Such a beautiful flow from one theme to the next.
"It's the type of track you can just leave on in the background while you clean house or work or do school."
I completely disagree. This needs to be astutely listened to as the work you've done here is absolutely sublime. Do not sell yourself short for the quality of performance and accomplishment here. This coming from someone that owns the original FF6 OST, is a fellow musician and knows these tracks inside and out and has listened to the OST in its entirety at least twenty times.
Absolutely incredibly well done.
Wow thank you, I'll take this as a huge compliment!!
@@KaraComparetto You are very deserving for your exemplary work. Outstanding job.
Couldn't agree more. I literally had to stop doing anything else to focus on this beauty for the ears.
Watching her pour so much energy and soul into all the keystrokes is so inspiring. Performances like this are a pleasure to watch, marvelous work!
Thank you Miles!!
This game will be forever on my heart...
this soundtrack never gets tiring or old, its perfect to use for study or even just as background music while doing nothing
After like 9 years after my last FF gameplay I have started playing FF6 for the first time just 2 days ago. Nice timing!
I envy you. Enjoy the best Final Fantasy
This is such a hugely ambitious undertaking! Well done
Thank you Kara for this wonderful gift for all FF6 fans out here. There is so much love for this music in your play, thank you very much
That Atma Weapon tune gets me every time....
those offset key combo's during the first song were far more complex than I thought they'd be... so very good!
Yeah the chord progressions are epic!!
Thank you for your performance. FF VI has always been my favorite FF game. Such a great story, the character development was great, and of course, the music was just so good. Even for todays standards.
Totally agree!
I smiled so much during this performance. Thank you for your talent and your hard work, Kara. FF6 will always be "that game" for me.
Imagine if you played the game without sound, but she was there playing the music live while you played.
That would be.. interesting 😂
@@KaraComparetto You'd be begging people to stop grinding levels 🤣
inb4 someone hacks an .iso of PS1's FF6 and replaces all the music with this soundtrack :P
@@Lenoh Could be done. And layer in the orchestral "spirits within" versions for the final bosses
Sounds great! I would also love to hear you do the Chrono Trigger soundtrack!
Yes I will!!
@@KaraComparetto WOW I can't wait!
What a feast this is - the love for the original soundtrack is really palpable. 'Forever Rachel' in particular, while brief, is just devastating.
It's amazing to see people still appreciate this soundtrack :D and your renditions are amazing!
The best part of this compilation was the lovely lady behind the keys
Love the moogle, cactaur, tonberry, malboro, and tiny Ultros!! Its a nice touch...
I discovered this channel by accident earlier this year, and I’m just sad I didn’t find it sooner. FF6 is my favorite game ever, and to hear the music realized like this is just astounding. Thank you!
Wonderful, I just love to hear this, thank you David!!
@@KaraComparetto i came across this bc the chrono cross release was.. kinda terrible but wanted to hear the ost. good covers
I can't put into words how amazing and wonderful this is, but what I can do is say that you have "Searching for Friends" in the proper order. The official soundtrack (even the old Doremi sheet music book) puts "Searching" before "Epitaph", but in the game, "Searching" adds an uplifting feeling to the bittersweet "Epitaph" of Setzer's past, and the game itself gets its first glimmer of hope when the ship rises from the sea with this song ushering it along. It's such a natural progression from "Epitaph" to "Searching for Friends", yet they always put it out of order. I probably sound more daft than Kefka, but thank you :) You did such a beautiful thing here!
*EDIT* Also on Spotify, I can play them back to back for the perfect transition from "Epitaph" into "Searching for Friends" :D
I love that you shared this! I didn't actually order the sheets, I had someone fix a few of them and put them in the proper order. Also got some advice from a few other followers, it was a joint effort. Many of them are also placed where they appeared in the game when I actually played it on stream :) so glad I got it right!
I just stumbled on this, live, while looking for some background music from my favorite game of all time. Talk about serendipity! You play beautifully. I'm looking forward to checking out the rest of your work.
So cool I’m glad you found me!!
When Balance is Restored got to the Prologue, it brought a tear to my eye.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
You gave this album the respect it deserved. Was way ahead of its time for SNES music. Your piano playing is beautiful. Still one of the best soundtracks for a video game. I love how your dressed as Relm. I would love to hear your version of Zozo. You should be doing live shows!
You need to stop into one of my live streams sometime! But yes I would love to Perform a whole soundtrack someday :)
I can't believe this was almost two hours! I was so engrossed the whole time
Yeah time flew by for me too!
Not my cup of tea, but this video gets an upvote for the sheer amount of effort put into it. Awesome work.
Final Fantasy VI is my favorite game / sound track of all time, this is amazing.
This is going to be one hell of a treat! Thank you so much for doing something so astronomical, Kara! We don't deserve you!!!
Thank you for recording this! My favorite soundtrack of all time from my favorite game of all time played with such mastery and sensitivity is a real treat!
Amazing! I can't believe I'm only just now seeing this. Probably my favorite video game of all time. This game gave me the feels when I was playing it and your performance sent me right back to them. Thanks so much for sharing.
So glad you found it and me!!!
An absolute tour de force! Great achievement and thanks for sharing
Thank you for doing this. Holy crap you’ve spoiled us FF fans today. Amazing talent!
One of the great soundtracks of the SNES. These are gorgeous renditions. Thank you for sharing.
That transition into Terras Theme starts and you know it’s going to be a good 2 hours.
Yes and I love how her theme appears so many times throughout!
Holy Moses, I got linked to the Dancing Mad video and wondered if the nice piano lady might have other FFVI covers. Turns out that yes, she does in fact have all the covers. Amazing effort.
I couldn’t miss this opportunity 😁 thank you :)
There isn’t a like button large enough for a video of this caliber. I’ve only gotten through the first half, but this is incredible. You’ve done an incredible job with one of the best soundtracks of all time. This is phenomenal. I also like the decorations. Particularly the pug (tonberry) and Ultros. I’ll definitely be coming back to this video to listen to this while I work or just want to think or space out. Cheers.
This soundtrack really takes you on a journey. I'd forgotten how beautiful it was. Kara is playing it to perfection. She's getting the mood right with every song. Astounding work. Absolutely brilliant playing.
After playing the game myself, I feel the emotions in the music more strongly!!
@@KaraComparetto To play the music like that, you would've had to have played the game. How did you enjoy it? Any stand out moments for you?
That is the best arrangement of "Decisive Battle" I've heard on piano. Thanks
What a fantastic soundtrack. This and 7 were Nobuo's peak.
I say 4 and 6 were. At least to me.
Thank you for this! FFVI has some of the most emotionally driven music ever put into a game. Love the Terra get up, too. She is one of my all time favorite game characters. Just need your hair in a green ponytail.
For dancing mad it will be! 😂
@@KaraComparetto have you heard RigorMortis999's arrangement of Dancing Mad? He really puts in work. I'm pretty sure he makes his sheet music free, too
They only had her sprites hair colored green because they wanted to differentiate her within game from the kther blonde characters. Thats why all of her art was blonde or white haired but her sprite hair was green. I've also read that they wanted to make her hair white but then the hard lines didnt look right in the pixelation. But i don't believe that because she's all white in esper mode and still look rad af. The first part is long known fact thought.
You’re a national treasure. I’ve listened to this whole video 3 times today already.
I just realized that you're wearing a Terra Branford outfit. Love the attention to detail!
Favorite game, favorite music, favorite CZcams Pianist, I'm in love.
Thank you for this, it was absolutely stellar ✨
Incredible work, thank you so much for this 💗😭💗
This is fantastic, thank you so much for this!!!
Love it! Awesome job
Such a great concert!!! Thanks so much Kara!!!
❤️❤️❤️
One of my top two favorite soundtracks... I frequently teeter between this and NieR depending on my mood. Beautiful work!
I love NieR too!
Awesome job once again!
Amazing job! loved this from start to finish!
Amazing performance! This was a beautiful tribute, much love for you and all you do!
Ya never disappoint Kara! This is incredible!
This is beautiful! Thank you!
If Mozard lived today, he would been a video game music composer.
This is insane and incredible! What a soundtrack and performance!
This is like, history in the making Kara! Congratulations on this!!
Such an amazing performance of such memorable songs. I first played FF VI in middle school but replayed it many times. The story, the characters and THE MUSIC! I hum a few of these melodies to my daughter when putting her to sleep at night.
I'm listening to this while working as background music but I keep pausing what I'm doing to appreciate the performance. Kara is turning that piano into a nostalgia beatuy machine!!!
Thank you so much for making this
Thank you for your music Kara, from one Final Fantasy fan to another.
I've been super excited about this ever since I saw the announcement!
amazing kara great job
Thank you so much Kara, this is wonderful
Thanks for playing the best ff soundtrack!
I didn't think I could admire more your talent and dedication. Then this gem comes out. You're stellar ✨
Beautiful work!
This is amazing! Thank you!
I'm a really huge fan of your work! All the changes you made to let the music flow through the pieces are clever and well executed! I'll love to hear the Chrono Trigger one :3
Thank you for this (again) amazing piece, Final Fantasy VI has one of the best soundtrack of the video game history and deserve it so much. Thank you for your passion and dedication Kara 👍♥️
Thanks for your content,love it
Lovely, sublime. Your work is always amazing.
