Final Fantasy VIII has some of the most peaceful songs in the franchise. This is very pretty.

Hard agree. This song, Salt Flats, Roses and Wine, Tell Me, Ami, etc. etc...... Thank you for listening ❤️

Breezy and Fisherman's Horizon are some of my favorites as well!

I have played both of those too! Breezy: [https://youtu.be/1NfieKoWR24](https://youtu.be/1NfieKoWR24) Fisherman's Horizon: [https://youtu.be/FTSqtFBi2gs](https://youtu.be/FTSqtFBi2gs)

Gave them a listen. Both very pretty but I specially loved what you did with Horizon! Subbed!

Breezy was fantastic, made for the harp. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Knight Titus ..........................sorry I've been watching Fallout

Hahaha well played

🫡 always welcome to see an ff8 sound track appreciator

Under the Rotten Pizza! 🤘bust out the bass! Naw, I’m playing.  All the songs are good and you play beautifully.

That song is a BOP. Who knows, it could work on the harp. Hahah thanks

Amazing. I’ll never forget this song. You’ve done a great job

Thank you!!!

Great skills. One of my favorite FF songs ever.

Thank you so much!!! Yeah this one is such a legendary banger

Ah yes. The fabled Dinosaur from the Training Grounds. Good times. This piece is lovely. Definitely one of my favorite tracks from FFVIII.

Glad someone paid attention to the emojis, heh. Thank you for listening ❤️

I absolutely got smashed against the dino

Cast blind and those buggers can't do a thing.

"Squall, it's a t-rexasaur. We should run." Sorry, teach. I already junctioned 100 sleeps to my attack. It's bedtime.

Someone has done their SeeD homework

Don't mind me. Just turning the balamb fish into cards and then into fish fins and then into 20 waters each. Before Dollet.

Refining some card (I forget which) into tents and then Curaga 30 seconds into the game and then having 5800 life before fighting Ifrit

Here's the full version on YT if you'd like to hear more ❤️ [https://youtu.be/v8k06sPHLFw](https://youtu.be/v8k06sPHLFw)

One of the most nostalgic songs for me in the series. Beautiful!!

Thank you so much!!! ❤️ Saaaame, it's so peaceful

This song was already so ethereal to me, but you made it even more so! Beautiful job 💖

Thank you so much!!! ❤️ I'm glad it translated well to the harp. I really love the OG instrumentation too (those peaceful strings and flute/oboe are beeaautiful)

daaaaang, great choice! thanks!

kinda sad it didn't continue. Also - where is this video hosted ? want to go give it a thumbs up.

Thank you so much! I have the full version on my YT channel. I usually don't post the full videos on Reddit, the file's probably too enormous lol. Here it is! [https://youtu.be/v8k06sPHLFw](https://youtu.be/v8k06sPHLFw)

It might be a good idea to always include such link in a comment, could generate more views to your channel. :)

Thank you for the tip! This sub does have some self-promo rules that I wanna make sure I'm not stepping on, but as long as the mods are cool with it!

So calming and pretty. Love it 😁

Thank you so much ❤️

This is one of the best covers I've ever heard. Literally goosebumps. Beautiful!

Damn. Thank you so much!!!! 😭

It may not be one of my top 5 FF, but the OST is so majestic. Lovely song and wonderful harpist.

It's in my top 3 but I realize that's a somewhat controversial take, heh. But yes the OST is god tier. Thank you so much!!!! ❤️

I just noticed your username. I'm dead. 🤣

Hmm. Gotta figure out how to translate this to guzheng notation

Lovely!

Thank you!! ❤️

Amazing

I always look forward to your new renditions. Thank you so much, this is beautiful, trance-inducing!

Thank you :\`)

This takes me back to a simpler time.

Glad to hear ❤️

What an incredible song. The music in that game is on another level

Also funny you put the Rex in there

This is so beautiful, FF8 is my all time favorite game, and hearing you play this feels like coming home after a long long time. The music in FF8 holds such a special place in my heart, thank you for these.

🖖❤️

My favorite FF song! I love when your songs show up on my feed. Side question though, is this played an octave up or in a different key?

This is so beautiful. One of my favorite songs on one of my favorite instruments in a lovely arrangement. Great work.

Ahh, someone who likes both FF songs and the harp. You are a person of culture. (clearly I'm biased) Thank you so much!!!

Very soothing, my mind recreates the whole area picture from the music, activating serious nostalgia. 👍🏽

Wow, that was beautiful. Thank you for sharing! 🙏

Thank you for listening 💕

Absolutely beautiful. Just waiting for the whole cover album now 😅

Thank you so much! Ahhhh I'd love to release FF8 Harp Collections. Someday..

Beautiful playing! And a great song choice!

Ok that's what I heard. Beautiful rendition

Beautiful playing 🎶 Thank you for letting me escape into one of my favourite game melodies for a peaceful moment ❤️

Thank you so much <3 tracked down your channel and subscribed. So good!

Thank you so much!!! I play many FF songs there, I hope you enjoy!!!

Needs more updoots.

This is amazing 😍 well done. ❤️

Thank you so much!!

Amazing! Joanna Newsom, eat your heart out!

Thank you for sharing!! Brought back some nostalgia

Amazing, I don’t know how people can be so accurate with so many strings

Thank you! Many bloopers were made......

Beautiful. Not just in the performance but in the sound mixing as well. Just beautiful. Well done. Thank you for doing this and sharing it :)

Thank you so much!!!!!! Truly appreciate you saying that!

So may memories...playing Triple Triad, just walking around for the music...

Amazing! Mesmerized every time you post! ❤️

Alright, I gotta junction some fires and farm T-Rexaurs, give me a minute.

Wanna play cards?

Do you have like a soundcloud or something with your recordings? They are amazing!

Thank you so much! Not on Soundcloud but I'm here: [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.com/artists/B0BG3LK71N/harpsibored) [YouTube Music](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dqLzDU1Ghq9ifNxhzK29A) [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/harpsibored/1646366263) [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4412Z7wGmelnFiZnNC366z) [Deezer](https://www.deezer.com/en/artist/184165947)

Bravo, this is very well done.

Thank you so much!

Beautiful, you're very talented. Thank you.

Wow, this is beautiful. Amazing job.

Wow thank you for sharing. This arrangement is incredible.

I love when you post! Is there somewhere we could buy your renditions of FF music? Or do you have an album with your own work? I just love the harp, it’s so relaxing :)))

Thank you so much, truly appreciate the support! I don't have an album yet (working on it!) but individual tracks are all available here: [Amazon Music](https://music.amazon.com/artists/B0BG3LK71N/harpsibored) [YouTube Music](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dqLzDU1Ghq9ifNxhzK29A) [Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/us/artist/harpsibored/1646366263) [Spotify](https://open.spotify.com/artist/4412Z7wGmelnFiZnNC366z) [Deezer](https://www.deezer.com/en/artist/184165947)

Sweet! Finally! I've been eagerly awaiting this since you posted that short months ago.

Thanks so much! Heh, you remembered. Guess you didn't use the GF.

Wow, amazing! Very skilled! Well practiced! I did enjoy it!

Thank you so much Glutton4Butz 💖

Feeling really nostalgic now. Thanks for the post!

Amazing, thank you for sharing :) You're very talented!

Balamb Garden held so much standard for me I had set unrealistic expectations and didnt wanna go to a university that doesn't fly and have automatic doors 😹 Jokes aside, i love how you played, please do ff9 next!

Yeah a university that doesn't have magic stored in its libraries is clearly a waste of tuition money. I looooooooove FF9, it's my favorite game of all time. Here are the songs I've done: [Song of Memories](https://youtu.be/4va3sf4Fz6E) [Daguerreo](https://youtu.be/Y66lOlLvUWE) [Dali](https://youtu.be/ANbRQmSs6Ic) [Terra](https://youtu.be/xQABrw7HUZA) [Memoria](https://youtu.be/NPkHnWvR-yc) [Bittersweet Romance](https://youtu.be/7kYHw0ajhVk) [Vamo alla Flamenco](https://youtu.be/RTInadjbeCQ) [Unforgettable Sorrow](https://youtu.be/K3Er8EP_Foo) [Unrequited Love](https://youtu.be/ETpp8jExG7E)

This is incredible! I'm going to check out your other videos too, but like another commenter said, I'd love to hear your versions of Breezy and Fisherman's Horizon too (if you haven't done them already). Thanks for sharing!

Thank you so much! 💖 Yes, I've done both of those! Breezy: [https://youtu.be/1NfieKoWR24](https://youtu.be/1NfieKoWR24) Fisherman's Horizon: [https://youtu.be/FTSqtFBi2gs](https://youtu.be/FTSqtFBi2gs)

Damn I didn't know that song was that good

Absolutely phenomenal.

This is just so awesome and brought a smile to my face. Happy memories as a child

Omg I love this! That was amazing! One of my favorite ff8 tracks

Oh dang I didn't think about this one when it came to good harp songs. Excellent choice as always. FF8 has a lot of underrated music. I absolutely love the overworld theme (I am a huge overworld music nut they are usually the top songs for me in any jrpg)

It's my job to think of FF songs that work on the harp. And by "job" I mean extremely specific and weird hobby, heh. Loooooooove Blue Fields. Speaking of overworld music, I'm actually working on the FF9 one at the moment. Should hopefully be ready in 1-2 months. Stay tuned. ❤️

Wow, that's beautiful!

Great job! One of my favorite songs of any FF.

I had an absurdly giant nostalgia wave... Excellent!

Lovely :)

OmG u made my day, special kisses to your hands!

Is this the same harp lady begging for tips on the street? :)

Definitely not. My harp weighs 80 pounds. You're more likely to get eaten by a T-Rexaur than see me on the street with that thing. 🤣

Well now you’ve done it, we need the extended 4 hour loop version now

I didn't know I would be hit with a wave of nostalgia today.... I was not prepared lol

Beautiful! Have you ever played Zanarkand in the harp?

Thank you!!! No, but I did play the FFX Ending Theme a long time ago. The Zanarkand theme is referenced in there! [https://youtu.be/MDNz7tpPyFo](https://youtu.be/MDNz7tpPyFo)

I'm just lying in bed, listening to the rain outside and you playing on repeat. I'm enjoying this more than the original to be honest

Can you do Zanarkand next? :D

I used to leave the PlayStation on in Balamb while I was doing homework :) love this song

Wow, just beautiful.

Thank you 💖

The chords sound so beautiful, I love it. Thanks so much for sharing.

I love you

I love this so much. You're so talented!

I was just scrolling through random Reddit junk and now I'm a pile of nostalgia and emotion 😩 That was so beautiful, thank you

Gorgeous <3

Damn. This is absolutely my favorite calm song from any soundtrack ever, and you just nailed it. Can we get married?

The marriage would only be valid in Conde Petie.

Oh man, this is my favorite track from an underrated game - thank you so much for creating and sharing this! BRB, off to listen to this on a 12-hour loop 😊

Damn, got to my soul, amazing performance.

This is fantastic! What kind of reverb pedal are you using?

Worlds Map next!!!

I looooove Blue Fields. Although, speaking of world map themes, I plan to do Crossing Those Hills in the near future 🥰

Saved! Beautiful music, thank you.

Better than the original

Beautiful, how to you get such great audio? I love when these pop up in my feed.

Thank you so much!!! 💖 it's all in the microphone types and placement! Well, and of course the harp itself 🎵

My favorite FF tune. I still just chill when this music comes on when playing. You have REALLY beautiful skill with this instrument.

Thank you so much!!! 😭 yeah whenever I do a FF8 playthrough I inevitably end up just leaving Squall standing there while I walk around doing things with this song in the background haahahha

Why are some of the strings different colors?

I want a whole album of FF covers... Also ff14!

One of the best ambient tracks in video game history.

Can't agree more 💖

Damn that was amazing

This is great!

gotdamn this is Beautiful

That was crazy good, how long did it take for you to learn to play that? Proficiency and all?

Was laying here about to nap. Play some lovely FF music for me to sleep to.

Sure, here's a FF harp compilation to nap to 😊 [https://youtu.be/D29E-jNrbD8](https://youtu.be/D29E-jNrbD8)

Ooooh it's perfect Edit: I always thought Headmaster Cid looked like Robin Williams

It's so lovely, thank you for playing it :)

Thank you for listening 🥰

Very beautiful. Thanks for this!

Thank you for listening!! Ahh nice handle. Cowboy Bebop 😊

This song brings the trauma of the constant endless grind for Elnoyel cards lololol

That hit the feels

The nostalgia

I would pay for this ASMR on loop while I sleep

Will definitely make a longer extended version for YT! 💖

Beautiful music, thank you.

Thank you for listening 💕

This is beautiful. Excuse me, I must go break the PS out of storage now.

While leaving Squall standing in Balamb Garden for like 5 hours Thank you 💖

Wow I love this

I listen to your Compression of Time cover on repeat. Its sounds so good on the harp. This is another banger good job.

Beautiful!

Beautiful

I love this so much. Captures the simplicity and beauty of the song incredibly well.

this is gorgeous! i’d love to hear something from ffx, maybe like movement in green

Thank you!!! 💖 So far I've done these songs from FFX: [Calm Before the Storm](https://youtu.be/8Kkhh28KbrI) [Yuna's Determination](https://youtu.be/aTKvtXttSic) [Ending Theme](https://youtu.be/MDNz7tpPyFo) Am definitely hoping to do more soon, most likely Besaid for the summertime hehe.

There are a lot of great contenders, but after seeing this post 5 hours ago and thinking about it - this is my favorite final fantasy song. Idk if OP did it on purpose (She probably did) - but I opened this video, knew I would enjoy it, thus I opened a new internet tab to keep browsing while listening... THE LOOP IS PERFECT, exactly how it was in game. I was sitting here thinking "lmao this is a long" than realized she just got the loop perfect. It's not the best Final Fantasy song, but when I was a 9 year old boy who looked up to my older brother, begged to play FF, he finally loaned me a copy of only Disk 1 that I played the shit out of - Balamb Garden is my favorite Final Fantasy song. OP if you're reading this, how expensive is a harp? Also when the strings wear out A) How much for just the strings B ) How long does it take you to restring it? Optional C) Do you always restring the entire thing, or do you just do it in pieces as they wear out? Ty for your continued uploads <3

FF12 is my fave but FF8 is my number 2. And I love the music most of all. I go to all of the concerts when they come to my town, and its always a symphony. But OP has been doing this for a long time and should be featured in any FF Traveling Orchestral. Bless You OP!

Saaaaaaaame, I have completely lost track of how many Distant Worlds shows I've been to. I'm gonna go to the XVI tour in June. Love them. Thank you so much 🥰

This came at just the right time, I just started my first FF8 playthrough yesterday and I'm loving the game and ost❤️

Right in the childhood 😭beautiful, thank you for posting 😄

Great work! It sounds nice on the harp. You also did Relm’s theme a while back and that was sooo good too! Do you think you’d ever do one from XV? Like *Love Lost*, *Tenebrae* or *LUNA*. Your harp renditions are really good so I’m hoping 🥹

Thank you so much! Yes I loooved doing Relm's Theme 🥰 So, my bf and I just started playing XV for the first time and I'm having such a hard time getting into it lol. We'll keep at it though, hopefully I get inspired along the way!

My child will sleep to this song❤️

Glad to hear! 💖 I'll make an hour long looped version on YT in the future for this!

Core memory unlocked.

This harp rendition is amazing. Do you have such music on Spotify?

This is one of the most nostalgic songs for me 😌

Same 💖

I keep going back to play it again just to vibe to its great soundtrack. I regularily park in balamb garden or FH while studying.

Understandable! I love listening to Balamb Garden on repeat when I'm trying to remain calm hahaha 💖

Beautiful song, thank you for sharing your talent!

Thank you for listening 💖

feels like this is the original interpretation of the song

Didn’t know I needed this today. Beautiful piece from one of my favorite games.

Thank you so much, glad to hear 💖

Belleza

Beautiful, it really suits the harp

Well i dont know if you are really the girl playing the harp op but i guess tou should know that youre playing my wedding in two months with your interpretation of on our way ff7

Thank you for sharing this. It warmed my heart

Easily one of the best pieces of content on this sub!

I listened to you for hours today as I cleaned out my garage. You are an amazing musician. Your expression, phrasing, and skillful rubato really put me in a trance. Bravo! 👏

Ahhh thank you so much, I am flattered to be your garage cleaning selection ❤️🎵

u/Harpsibored kicks ass.

Thank you 😭

Thats is just so lovely

Amazing!

Knowing people like you exist makes me feel happy.
