The Landing - Final Fantasy VIII Piano Cover [Advanced]

This took a while. It's a really challenging piece for rhythm and speed, but lots of fun. The melody constantly jumps from hand to the other, so you really have to make sure to bring it out. I can recommend practicing the main part without using your right pinkie (i.e. not playing the e).

Shout out to the talented Nick O'Brien who transcribed this piece flawlessly and was so kind to send me the sheets!
Here's his original video:

Enjoy!

I love the way you edited the midi data into the top half of the screen. Nice playing dude.

Oh my GOD. You are amazing. This is perfect. It immediately conjured that first demo play of the landing, my first PS2 game, and being blown away by the amazing graphics and soundtrack. Graaaahhh! This is too good.

What an odd feeling. I'm both simultaneously impressed by the sheer skill needed to play this piece, and underwhelmed by the arrangement itself. Nevertheless, great job!

[NobrrMusic]

holy crap it happened.

wow dude really really good. =D

[uninterestedhour]

This is one of if not my favourite musical piece from Final Fantasy viii and you played it amazingly and with crazt skill and precision, awesomely done. This is just beautiful however sadly I heard the iconic melody of The Dollet landing used in an EDM soundtrack I think called rock the house by Afrojack if im not mistaken

[Duhemsounds]

You have a beautiful playing of that great theme :)

[crustyturnip]

I really have no idea why that is the first thing that I noticed, but I have the exact same pair of pajama trousers. Awesome cover.

[deanguitarplayer]

Huh, interesting way to start! A little more somber and serious than the original. I like it.

[Kodak]

Amazing work once again. You never fail to impress me.
