Part of my work as a school band director involves me making my own (instrumental) arrangements of music and stuff, and whenever the opportunity arises I always return to the music of the Final Fantasy series. This is my own arrangement, for symphonic band (google that up if you're not sure what we're made of) of Nobuo Uematsu's wonderful Twilight Over Thanalan, played at a local cosplay festival early 2012, in sync with a video of my little adventures that I made myself (eeks at bad editing!).
For those of you who may be familiar with what I do, I largely do my arrangements by ear... sometimes I do get help from sheet music made and posted by others on the web but sometimes the information is not as accurate... it's always back to listening to the original soundtrack for the hundredth time.
You may or may not like it, but here it is anyway.

I'm currently at work expanding this arrangement into a larger melody that will include three of my other favourite tracks from FF XIV... Seven Jesters (actually the Good King Moggle battle theme), that final Nael von Darnus battle theme, and of course... Answers!
(if you hunt around my Youtube page I've done medleys for FF X and FF XIII as well)

I really like the FFXIV theme break in the middle.
