Distant Worlds Concert
It's my first (and hopefully not the last) one this coming November. For those who've been to one, if you don't mind sharing about your experiences, I'd love to hear from you!
What was your favorite piece from their setlist? And would you watch one again?
I mentioned this briefly in another thread, but it's AWESOME!
I went to it twice, because the tour came to my city two years in a row. The first time they came offered a meet-and-greet with Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth. They signed my FFIX Piano Collections book. X3 ... That first year, though, Susan Calloway wasn't with them, so there was no Melodies of Life or Suteki Da Ne in the setlist. The opera singers were there, too, so they did the FFVI opera. My friend sat a few seats away from Uematsu and his interpretor in the audience... when my friend cried (being the big sentimental baby he was <3) during one of the songs (I think an FFXI one), the interpretor gave him a tissue lmao.
The second time I went, they had Susan Calloway, but no Uematsu, so no meet-and-greet for him, clearly. However, Hamauzu was in the audience. I don't know if he did a meet-and-greet because I got my tickets late that time around and that option wasn't offered to me on the website. It was still fun, nonetheless. No opera singers and no aria, though. XD
Both times, they did a Q&A after the whole setlist.
As for the people themselves, bring a camera if you like photographing cosplayers. DEFINITELY bring one if you're doing a meet-and-greet. They allow you to have something signed and a photograph, iirc.
My favorite pieces were the FFI-III Medley (the 2010 version), Liberi Fatali, Suteki Da Ne, Ronfaure, Terra's Theme, and The Place I'll Return To Someday/Melodies of Life. The opera was splendid, as well. That's a difficult question, though. I'm an Uematsu fangirl. D:
And yes, if they toured here again, I would definitely go. Final Fantasy music is something I never get sick of.
That's all I got. I hope you enjoy the concert!
Can't wait for this in London next month.

You'll recognise me as I will be the person burning photos of Thierry Henry outside the Albert Hall.
Going next March
Oh gawd, I hope I'm as lucky as you're friend! Still crossing my fingers regarding Nobuo's presence in Malaysia
Not sure if there's a meet and greet since we weren't offered that option. Still, I'll keep the camera and pens handy just in case! So excited
I think we should organise an EoFF at Distant Worlds London photograph! I'm gonna be there too! Went last year and it was awesome, so couldn't resist this year too!
gonna be a blast, went last year. this year should be great too!
Making a slow come back since 2008
Wanted to go to the London performance but I had no time to fix the visa requirements and all. I'm going to the Malaysia one this coming November.
That's a great idea.I think we should organise an EoFF at Distant Worlds London photograph! I'm gonna be there too! Went last year and it was awesome, so couldn't resist this year too!Anyone here going to watch the Malaysia show? I'll be more than happy to meet you people in person!
Yeah went to the London one last year, ended up sitting like 5 seats away from Uematsu all night, and pissing myself at some woman next to me who screamed UEMATSU-SAMA!!!!! when he came out on stage for the first time. Don't do that, if you don't want everyone else laughing at you for being a gimp.
But yeah other than that it was awesome, my favourite song was easily Maria and Draco's opera, which surprised me because I'm not really arsed either way about FFVI or its soundtrack, but it was absolutely brilliant.
....and I was thinking of doing the same thing if he comes to the show. >.<
I've watched their Japan show (on video only, of course) and I was spellbound by the opera. Then again, I'm biased because I used to be a singer myself.
I'm seeing my first one in November, too.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
Awwww what. If I had know it was coming to Scotland... garr. xD
There might still be some tickets, they sent an email out last week I think saying they were running low... it's at the Edinburgh Playhouse.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
I knew there was no chance they were coming to my country so I was prepared to fly to the most convenient venue ASAP. But holy, do those tickets disappear FAST. O_OI'm seeing my first one in November, too.
