Final Fantasy XVI - Ascension - Solo Piano [+ Sheet Music]

Final Fantasy XVI OST - Ascension
Composed by Masayoshi Soken

Here is my piano arrangement of "Ascension" from the Final Fantasy XVI soundtrack that plays during the fight with Bahamut and which is probably one of if not the best track in the whole game.
As always with these grand orchestral pieces some parts translate better to the piano than others, but overall I like how the arrangement turned out.
For my next uploads I plan to do some more FFXVI and Lies of P pieces.

As always, feel free to leave your song suggestions in the comments.

I'm honestly blown away by how good you are! Incredible arrangement and performance!

[KazaarTV]

i stared so hard at you playing, i got the stretch illusion when i looked at the comments xD

[SisiReminore]

I think it is even more beautiful than the original, you were able to reproduce all the sensations that a masterpiece performed by orchestra was able to convey, with the only piano. I get chills, this piece and My star were the 2 pieces that I loved more in ff16 and you have reproduced them not only faithfully but putting that something extra that only your hands can perform. I'm only sorry that you are little known, there are people who play and do not deserve more success than you, certainly I do not discredit anyone's work, but the love and desire you have in your videos should be more appreciated in comparison to others 😢As always, congratulations ❤❤you're the best arranger of videogame pieces that I know and I do not think it will change. I wish you all the best and hope your channel will go great ❤❤

I now want to play this but can't even play piano

Every piece is so amazing and really closed to the feeling of the original sound track. Now I have already learned "The Desert Dims" after I asked you for the sheet. I really enjoy it when I play it for every time. There is no reason that you can not be successful in the future!

Absolutely amazing. I was captured for the entire video.

[sobo]

man this brought tears to my eyes...thank you from the bottom of my heart

[kurodinos]

Thanks for that, the arrangement is great, capture the essence of the song, is accessible to a lot and display differents piano skills! Nice one !

[Lyra_k]

Been waiting on this one a long time! Thanks for making it.

I play Bard on FFXIV and play along to the videos. Nice and clear notes. Always on the lookout!

[craigbirnie]

I am absolutely blown away. This is perfect, well done and thank you so much!

I don’t know how you do it but everyone of your arrangements are great! Do you have any plans to make an arrangement of The Riddle as well? I’d love to hear you play that song as well as the boss theme that plays in the first Morbol fight, but whatever your next piece is I can’t wait to be amazed again

[lazriv]

Very nicely done!
Your arrangement is the best I've listened so far, but sadly my hand stretching range is not enough to play it...

[coen]

Absolutely amazing! Would you consider doing The Riddle? Odins last stand against Clive

[MajesticFerret]

Play it on 1.25x speed if you want to hear closer to the speed it plays in the actual video game. This is a great arrangement but its being played a bit slower than how it's played in the game.

I don't have enough hands for this
