Videogame soundtracks can be absolutely beautiful. In the past ten years, video game soundtracks have began winning mainstream awards, and though not all of us are avid gamers, I’m sure we can appreciate the composition the different pieces.
An Artiden Friend sent me the collection of Final Fantasy piano solos below and I’m now learning them! There is something to be said about playing well-written, elaborate scores.
At the moment, I’m working on Somnus (the first piece below).
Below, I’ve included pieces from Final Fantasy XV (sheet music) and Final Fantasy X (sheet music).
Final Fantasy XV
Yoko Shimomura – Somnus / Dreaming of the Dawn

Yoko Shimomura – Sorrow Without Solace
Yoko Shimomura – Blest Be the Moonlight / Luna
Yoko Shimomura – Apocalypsis Noctis
Yoko Shimomura – Valse di Fantastica
If you’re a fan of waltzes, this one could give you a break from the typical Classical waltz.

Masashi Hamauzu – Servants of the Mountain

A lot of fans either transcribed or remixed their own piano tracks on MuseScore plus Toby himself I believed shared some official sheet music! I’m thankful to see all the great work that went into composing these songs and all the motifs that let the soundtrack tell the story of the game as well. I enjoy learning classics too like Super Mario soundtrack pieces from games like Super Mario Galaxy or just piano arrangements of the… Read more »
I started playing an Undertale piece! And Super Mario is just classic. Maybe I will do another showcase of piano videogame music… with my own playing :) Thanks for sharing those!
