Black Steel, Cold Embers (Forge Ahead: Final Fantasy XIV) - piano transcription

Composed by Masayoshi Soken
Arranged by Keiko

This is an arrangement from Forge Ahead: Final Fantasy XIV Arrangement Album. Something I didn't originally realise is that the original is also a piano piece and this arrangement ends up being very faithful to the original, with just very minor tweaks and changes in accompaniament. Keiko's arrangements tend to be too technical for me, but given how close this is the OST, I found this manageable :D

Forgive me the monstrosity that is the last bar, it was a nightmare to accurately transcribe. With passages like this the exact note sequence isn't that important, so it can be played with a lot of flexibility.

I believe this is also known as Garlemald Theme.
