Crossing Those Hills FFIX (Melodies of Life あの丘を越えて) Orchestral Cello Cover 

There was a project a few years back where a bunch of individual game devs got together and remade the first section of the game where you wander around as Vivi in Alexandria to showcase what a remake/remaster could be like and the nostalgia hit me like a brick and I almost cried. It was gorgeous and people from Square Enix took notice as well. Everyone's first FF always seems to be their most beloved and FF IX was mine. Edit: Found it for anyone interested ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-BaMiPb6KiWo.html

Heartbreakingly nostalgic and beautiful.. Zidane and Garnet looking cute in the corner

This is actually one of the best covers i have heard.

my ears are in heaven... beautiful arrangement

Gorgeous cover! And the artwork is adorable, this track always makes me think of Zidane and Dagger!

I'm truly grateful for this arrangement and the video animation. I haven't even played this game, never liked the other FF games I tried in the past. It just wasn't my flavor I guess. But 9 feels right from what little I know. This song and its lyrical version I find myself coming back to recently after discovering over a year ago. The melody, the existential air to it, and the lyrics hit me in ways difficult to put into words without getting longwinded. It invites you to dream of beautiful horizons when you genuinely thought you lost the ability to. Takes the extra step to comfort you that its okay to desire more than whatever you think the world so far can offer your. And that maybe you were here before, in another time, another place, and maybe why the song affects you in this way. It's faith for those who close their eyes, but its magic for those who dare to be open to taking the concept more seriously as if the sincerity of your existence depends on it.

What a unique masterpiece! Love the cello climax. Haven t heard a better version!

Beautiful arrangement for the greatest overworld theme in all of FF history !

My favorite soundtrack from my favorite game.. Now THIS is the best cover so far.. Damn tears drop when the cello's in.. Why don't you make this since years ago?

Good stuff! Can’t wait for SE to finally reveal the Remake/Remaster already!

The art and animation is incredible wow

love this version as much as the original

Listening to this gives me comfort and nostalgia. Love how you mixed these sounds here and I really like the electric piano(?) background that goes on and on, it's so cozy. Cello sounds realistic too!!

Amazing piece of work! I can’t wait for the remake..

A really nice retouch, i hope you do "Battle on the Bridge", but preferably Tifa's Theme, or maybe "Theme of Love (FF IV)" 😊 Anyway I'm looking forward for your next to come 🥂 cheers

I read you're keen on doing Fisherman's Horizon, but please do Breezy, too!

And Yuna's decision!
