Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary Ciddies Final Fantasy Awards... with style! |
|
As part of the Final Fantasy 25th Anniversary celebrations, Eyes on Final Fantasy decided to get some of the best members and artists to work together to create an awards event unlike anything you've seen before! This wasn't just a standard awards event where you vote and then someday someone tells you who won, and that's that... no, this event was created as an elaborate show within the Final Fantasy 'multiverse', and it's our delight to present the results to you. Please, follow the below links to find out who won what award, who sang what newly-created song while playing their guitar, who saves the day and more!
This event was created with the intention of saying a massive thankyou to Square-Enix and Final Fantasy. From the fans - all of us!

Edward: And now, for the most significant award of the event, which rewards the greatest music of our worlds with boundless prestige~! It is the one...the only...Best Song!
Golbez: ... Now do you people understand why I bombed the stuffing out of his country?
Edward: The candidates:
The FFVI Opera House orchestra being playing Aerith's Theme.
Edward: *wipes away a tear* Such a poignant, moving theme! How could anyone fail to be inspired?
Golbez: Easy: By not being a wanker.
The orchestra change a page and Answers is played.
Golbez: Actually, this song isn't half bad. Brooding and melancholy, just the way I like it.
Edward: You would approve of any song that raises the suicide rate by a statistically significant margin wherever it is played.
The music then shifts to Battle on the Big Bridge.
Edward: A powerful, stirring anthem! With every note, it raises spirits and martial wrath! The perfect theme to play while shooting down the Red Wings!
Golbez: Yeah, that really worked out well for you, didn't it?
A piano solo kicks in for Eyes on Me.
Golbez: Complete rubbish. This is the kind of song that weak-willed fool Kain would like.
Edward: *sighing* Oh, Anna...
Suddenly, Liberi Fatali catches everyone's attention.
Edward: An upbeat, powerful theme. The Latin chanting gives it a certain...I don't know what...
Golbez: Incomprehensibility?
Melodies of Life is sung.
Golbez: If this song gets any more cloying I swear I will literally puke.
Edward: It is so...rich, so poignant...LIFE IS WONDERFUL!
Golbez: *vomits all over Edward*
The song One Winged Angel bursts into life.
Golbez: Bells, sparks, Italy, eat a bell, Batman pees
Edward: Sephiroth!
The orchestra switch over to Rose of May.
Golbez: Let me guess, Edward: Poignant, moving, and beautiful?
Edward: No, even I think this song sucks.
The sounds of Suteki Da Ne flow through the Opera House.
Edward: This sounds like a song I'd write: fraught with emotion, and well placed changes of tempo. I only wonder what the words mean?
Golbez: It's a recipe for General Tso's Chicken.
Terra'a Theme meets the ears of all in attendance.
Edward: OK, big reveal time: I actually did write this song, but my version was better. Why did Uematsu change it to piano instead of harp?
Golbez: Because the 16th century is over?
The orchestra finish off with You're Not Alone.
Golbez: This one is actually quite good. It's got enough energy to bomb a country to.
Edward: What, you mean there's actually a song you don't hate?
Golbez: I'll have to think on that. Come on, let's just announce this thing. And the winner is...
