"Piano Collections FINAL FANTASY X" is a CD album from the popular RPG "Final Fantasy" that features classical piano arrangements of music. This is a collection of perfectly matched songs that can be played in the world of "Final Fantasy X". Rather than recreating the atmosphere of the game and melodies faithful to the originals, as composer Masashi Hamauzu states in his "Introduction", this is a collection of "BGMs that appeared in Final Fantasy X arranged for piano, with many of them being considered variations that deviate from the originals, which are composed of various instruments."
The dramatic story and music of "Final Fantasy X" is well-received, and the appeal of the story and music is well-received, with a rich collection of content that allows you to enjoy it from a different angle, including "At Zanarkand," which has a dramatic arrangement that gives a sense of accomplishment to the piano performance while keeping the structure of the original song composed only for piano, "Besaid Island," which makes use of the original melody but brings out a different charm with a completely different tempo (it's much faster), and "Rikku's Theme," which has a simple and cute atmosphere as a piano solo.
With the idea of "respecting the tone, playing method, and possibilities of the piano, and of "being played" for a long time, you can enjoy the pianistic and gorgeous world of the music, "by playing it, you can feel the intention and depth of the music" (from Masashi Hamauzu's "Introduction").
