    Default Video game pianists

    As a hobby, I learn to play songs from video games on the piano. Does any one else? Also, which ones are hardest for you? If you don't play, which do you think would be the hardest?

    I don't play the piano, but I've got a ton of FF sheet music for the clarinet. Oddly, the Gold Saucer theme from FFVII is absurdly tough to play at speed. I haven't even given it a go for a couple of years, as I got a little frustrated with trying and failing to improve.

    I play mostly songs from FFVI and chrono trigger!!

    I dont know about the hardest though. I usually play songs not written for piano so i can choose what parts i want to play and what parts would be too much for me so theres not really a song thats 'too difficult'. It also depends on what version i play.

    I would truly love to play Cait Sith's theme in a jazz combo. That'd just sound cool.

    I can play To Zanarkand, Succession of Witches, The Successor, and Rose of May.

    Im a rubbish sight reader though and Im also lazy. My friend can play Jesters of the Moonless Sky but its pretty difficult for me. My hands are shmall.

    I'd love to learn the piano and be able to play some nice FF melodies on it. To Zanarkand and Loss of Me in particular.

    The only thing I can play on the Piano is Locke's theme and Relm's theme.

    Other than that, I had alot of saxophone sheet music and like woodwind combo sheet music that we used to do in groups in high school.

    We normally warmed up with Bombing Mission. xD

    The last FF song I played on an instrument was Theme of Love and Forever Rachel on the Flute, only 'cause they sound the best on flutes. Either way, yeah it's been like a couple of years since I've bothered with video game music.

    Piano Squall has sheet music for some of the more popular and well-known songs from Final Fantasy.
