I'll admit that one of my least favorite parts of RPGs is not only turn based combat, but random encounters. So it was my huge surprise that even after all of FFX I still hadn't had enough of this amazing song. It still pumped me up no matter how many encounters I ran into and how monotonous the fights might have ended up being. It's interesting to me that you know for all of these normal battle themes, Uematsu knew he had to make something that simply would not get old which really shows his genius since he was able to do it multiple times.

This week was tough as I had to churn this cover out around three days in a row of painful dental work and then having Smooth McGroove out to visit after that. Smooth, Adriana, and I had a great time exploring San Diego but it was important for me to make sure I could get this done around all of that. This arrangement was actually started by me grabbing the arrangement I did in 2016 for the Top 10 Battle Themes medley and essentially trying to extend it. These days most of the time goes into the arrangement process so it was nice to only have to worry about extending a previous arrangement this time around. Everything is re-recorded though, I used no audio from the original arrangement as I knew that I could play it way tighter this time around. I also didn't really try to force in a solo or anything fancy, I just decided to have some fun with the chords toward the end but then keep it pretty straight.

Hope you like it! I'm very excited for FFX on Switch so I hope those of you who are too will enjoy this cover. Thanks for watching!

P.S. Did you notice a new piece of equipment? :^)

Thanks so much for listening guys! FFX is a special game to me and very close to my heart so it's so cool to see so many of you feel the same way. This battle theme might be my favorite one in any Final Fantasy game so it was so fun to put together a full cover of this for you. Thanks so much for watching!

There's a big delay with my covers being pushed to stores for some reason and I'm working on it! Plus I'm also working on making my covers available for purchase in Canada. Hopefully it'll all work out soon. Also, if you enjoy what I do, consider pledging on Patreon for tons of perks including mp3's and tabs of some of my covers! Thank you!

0:49 - one of the best basslines in videogame history.

[xbounty]

I needed a full version since the Top 10. Thank you.

[SonnyPlaystation]

True to Uemastu's original vision of the song I believe.

[amariokart]

I kept listening to this in the Top 10 Battle Themes, I’m so happy there’s an extended mix now.

[DacianGradaMusic]

aw yess, with all the pros and cons that game had, the music is always amazing! one of my favorites.

[Acevgm]

I feel like no one points out how godly Jules is frequently enough. Great job as usual Jules, I really loved the reharm towards the end!

[resdamalos]

This is the first and only Final Fantasy game I played from start to finish. It holds a special place in my heart, and this cover made me feel all sorts of good inside.

[naivesquirrel]

Today was a really shit day for me.
But, this makes it a little better.

Really nice cover, thanks!

[Futuris_]

Dude, your Final Fantasy X covers have been some of my favorite from your channel. Good stuff.

[MarcoVization]

I've listened to the battle themes medley too much, my brain expected for you to break into Golden Sun at the end there. Either way, awesome rendition.

[steviemarqued]

You just hit me with a wave of nostalgia.

[rickdaniel]

Music more intense than the tension between the Yevonites and the Al Bhed.

[schmechty_bohn]

im vergleich hat das ech wehnig klicks. warum frag ich mich, das ist großartig ^^

[dustinjohnson]

Algorithm found you when I broke my foot a few days ago and needed something to listen to. You are an absolute madman on that axe. Been cycling through your library ever since. Good lord, man, never quit doing what you're doing.

[bigtruck]

I can hear tidus frantically laughing... this is a banger

[Cynderfan]

Jules has activated his overdrive mode: *guitar booster*

[kennethbrowning]

Let’s freaking GOOO!! FFX needs this version whenever you get into enemy encounters!
