My first video ever - the Final Fantasy Battle Medley

[Honnli]

Well, only half of me appeared in the video, and you won't see my face because I am camera shy... No, not really, but you still only get to see my hands.. Anyway, here it is: (had to split it because it is over 10 minutes)

Part 1
Part 2

Grr, messed up the ending... Oh well... It's not as good as what I wanted, and there are still quite a few mistakes, but overall, it's not too shabby.
Sorry for the poor video quality. I recorded it with my mobile phone.

Very very nice~<3

It's videos like this that make me wish I never stopped playing the Piano... I should get myself a keyboard or something..

[Honnli]

Thank you! ^^

It's not too late to start again. And yeah, you should definitely get a keyboard, not those 61-key keyboard though, they are useless. It's so much fun. Plus, you have bigger hands than me so it would be even easier for you to play.

Good job.  The part starting at about 3:10 - fast fingers there.  That must have taken some practice.  I'm not doubting you when you say there were some mistakes in this performance, but they were hard for me to notice.

[Honnli]

Thanks! Yes, the part starting at 3:10 did take quite a lot of practice to get the fingers moving smoothly, especially the fourth finger. And trust me, when a pianist/musician says there are mistakes in his/her recording, there are mistakes. He/she always detects way more mistakes than the listener and are never truly satisfied with their recording. Well, that's what I feel anyway.

[Piano Squall]

Great playing.  Loved it. 

[Honnli]

Thanks Mike! Glad you liked it!

[RinoaHeartilly32]

Wow this sounds good! Good job!

Your phone takes better video than my camera.

So do you give performances or what not in Australia? You should!

[Honnli]

Thanks for the comments, guys. It means a lot to me. It makes me happy that you guys enjoyed it.

As for giving performances, no. I don't give public performances, although I would like to. I have given some thought into it, but currently its still only just a thought though. The thing is that I've never really given any public performances. The most public place I have performed in was a nursing home, and it was only a short performance...

[Onionman]

Well I don't think you have anything to be worried about. You're seriously very good!

But that's just what I would be doing if I had your mad skillz...

[Honnli]

You think so? Thanks. Well, if all of you think I should give some sort of public performance, then maybe I'll get in touch with the activity organizer at my uni and see if I can hold a concert or some kind of performance at uni. Or something.

[Onionman]

Haha, wow, if you do that because of me, please let me know!

I'm just impressed someone took Piano Squall's songs and learned them so well. If you were in my area, I would definitely want to hang out with you.

[Honnli]

Haha. Well, I've been thinking about giving a performance for quite a while now. I just never really told anyone, not until you mentioned it.

I'm just impressed someone took Piano Squall's songs and learned them so well.

That's because Piano Squall's songs really get to you emotionally.

[Onionman]

They really do. I <3 Xenogears!
