I Want to Be Your Canary.

[Chris]

It did have a pretty basic story, but wasn't it cute as hell? I loved the entire play (or what you we saw of it). Blank, was great and he is definitely one of the coolest characters ever. I don't know, I was listening to the music from that particular scene, and I got inspired to make this thread. Any thoughts on the show "I Want to Be Your Canary"? Sorry for my abrasive obsession...but I just love this game. Urgh! I may have to get some help or whatever.

:( :D

[Rantz]

Nah, I didn't like what I saw too much. Seemed to cliché to me. =)

[G13]

I liked it. I wish I could have gotten to see the rest.

I liked it. I wish I could have gotten to see the rest.
Me too! Damn, now I have to listen to the theme again. :D

[~SapphireStar~]

Was the theme the one that sounded Spanish? When Zidane and Blank are fighting to entertain the crowd? That was a great track. As for I Want to Be Your Canary, it is annoying you didnt see the full story.

[Arrianna]

My first thought was "who would name a play "I want to be your Canary""?

When it got to the end of the game and I found out why my first reaction was relief. "Ah it makes sense now!"

I dont mind not seeing the entire thing since I watch Shakespeare so its pretty easy to fill in the holes.

No, it's not that song. The song is called "Mistaken Love" and second part "Feel My Blade".

[G13]

I know that this is straying off of the subject but, is there any possible way to get all of the Lords and Ladies to be interested when you "fight" Blank.

[Levian]

Most I've ever gotten is 99/100

[TurkSlayer]

Why do I now feel the urge to write the play myself? Am I that bored? Damn do I need a girlfriend...

[Dell]

I Want To Be Your Crow is far better than I Want To Be Your Canary.

[Rengori]

I literally have a file saved at the beginning of the game which I just duel the hell out of Blank and Zidane.

I liked the play "I want to be your canary", and it was a fun way to start (and end) the game. Some parts reminded me a bit of Shakespeare. I also wish I'd have seen the whole story, although you'll probably get most of the story even with the scenes Square made. And yeah, the music during the play is excellent, it's orchestra-style and dramatic. :love:

That'd be Vamo Alla Flamenco, featured in FFIX OST, FFIX Piano Collections, FF Live Concert 2002 and the Black Mages II album.


No, it's not that song. The song is called "Mistaken Love" and second part "Feel My Blade".

Those are great songs as well. I really like the "tragedy" feel the song "Mistaken Love" has, and "Feel My Blade" reminded me of FFVIII's thrilling Sorceress battle theme, "Premonition".

It is possible, I think I've done it twice, but it's very hard, and you'll need a lot of luck too. If you get 100 watchers impressed, you'll get 10,000 gil. I usually get 90-97 people interested unless I mess up.

Yup, you gotta hit all the right buttons, and in a certain time. It doesn't have to be lightning fast though.
100/100 nobles impressed makes Brahne quite impressed, which wins you a tasty 10,000 Gil.

[Fantasy Fan]

'mistaken love' is a cool song :D

but which part are people on about? The one at the first disk, or the last disk?

[Chris]

Well, both, really. Since the last part is a continuations of the one at the beginning of the game.

I thought the part that plays at the end of the game happens, in terms of the play's chronology, before the events in the beginning, considering the play in the beginning has both Marcus and Princess Cornelia die.

[f f freak]

I like the play scene but the beggining one baku says improvise so does that mean that the play doesnt go like that or what im confused.

I suppose you're right. But, it's still the same play. xD

[StarChild]

It is a good play, which we got to see more of it.

It's actually based on a play by Shakespeare, I'll try to figure out which one, unless someone knows it.

[Twilight Edge]

I wonder if someone would suggest this play as his/her school play?

[Darkwing Bahamut]

I didn't really like the play itself, but I do like the title 'I Want To Be Your Canary'. I liked the music used in the play, especially 'Bittersweet Romance'.

I LOVED "I Want to be Your Canary"! I thought it was an utterly inspired way to open and end the game. For a start, I loved the fact that there was a play called "I Want to be Your Canary". How random and brilliant is that!?! And yet, in retrospect, it's not so random: as Garnet is a "caged canary" at the beginning of the game, who longs for freedom - with all the symbolism of her sadly watching the birds fly away from the castle (happens again at Lindblum castle)....

The play was obviously based on Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". The playwright's name, "Lord Avon", is another obvious reference to Shakespeare - who was born in Stratford-Upon-Avon.

I also loved the fact the Kuja, the well-read and literate villain, oft quoted from the play. Especially his use of the word "canary" as an endearment when talking to Garnet.

And yes, the existence of "I Want to be Your Crow" is funny, too! I wonder if there's an "I Want to be Your Partridge"....

All in all, the play delighted me.

LOL! "I Want to be Your Canary".... *shakes head* Only in a Final Fantasy!

I agree but it was pretty good even tho it seemed alot like romeo and juiliet.

If it had a full script I definitely would.

As for the play, I love it. Especially the name of the play.
