Pure awesome. It's really good, except for one tiny detail. His name only has 1 T ;), but I guess you have the PAL version.

Are you sure about this part?

it's an arrangement, I take creative liberties whenever I feel like it. I just happened to like the way that sounded.

All sounds awesome, but this here:

-----0-----0------------|

--0-----4-----2---------|

I do think should be:

--0-----4-----2---------|

Hey, thanks for your input. I do take some creative liberties but in this case what I have is accurate, the top note gets played twice. Thanks though :)

Andrew

Heh, you sure? My ears have told me differently.

Kabukibear

Positive. Here, I slowed down just that part from the original soundtrack so you can hear it better.

Don't try playing along with it though, my arrangement is in a different key than this original.

Oh weird.. in that one it is the same note twice. The midi on this site is a little different then!

Just where do the midi's on this site come from?

TrangOul

 Sun, 08/31/2008 - 10:27

Most are from www.vgmusic.com. Anyway, never rely on MIDIs you found on the web. :P

Kabukibear

 Sun, 08/31/2008 - 10:31

Yeah, I wondered if you were listening to a midi instead of the actual OST. You've gotta be careful with midis as they are only as accurate as the person who wrote them out.

Funny, seeing as how this was transcribed from a midi, with the melody lowered a few steps.

Actually, no.

I found a piano version of it, tweaked it a bit, and transposed it to get it to work easier.

The best place to find audio files for Final Fantasy is here : http://www.ffdream.com/downld-musiques.html
You can download all FF soundtrack for free (game version, and other like the "Piano Collection" albums, remixed versions and Black Mages' covers).
Great tab, as always.
