Square Enix is a bunch of Gay Baby Nerds.

If anyone ever wonders why I hate Square-Enix so much, it's because I honestly feel like they are ruining the legacy of all of the pre-merger games by Hironobu Sakaguchi and Nobuo Uematsu. They can't even do a proper port of the music and have this horrible 2012 FF7 MIDI... it's embarrassing, it's the worst kind of Call of Duty monetization, and I hope "SQUARE-ENIX" goes out of business sooner than later.

It's a lazy port of the original PC version from when the game came out. It was bad then and bad now.

But SE is looking to patch the PC version to rectify this mistake.

I like how every single discussion remotely surrounding around Final Fantasy becomes a volume of vitriol against Square-Enix by people who refuse to acknowledge the company anymore, yet won't hesitant to passionately destroy it in online literature as though they were referring to the man that killed their father.

It's a really bizarre dynamic and many of the people I see writing it are much younger than I am, and I was just barely old enough to appreciate the classic Square-Enix catalog that build them in the first place myself - so what is this emotional attachment stemming from then?

I'm not saying the vitriol isn't justified, I'm just fascinated by the contrast. If you hate something so much and refuse to lend it any support, the same thing you've been saying for 8 years, why still talk about it? Normally people just ignore that kind of thing altogether...

Man, they dug to the bottom of their pockets to rebuild FF14 from the ground up. The new trailers look amazing. Distant Worlds was really well done too, with all that video to compliment the performance, and they had music from every game. And the fact that Nobuo Uematsu comes to so many of those performances is amazing.

On the other hand, their mobile ports are like 20 to 30 dollars. They have no qualms with charging a premium on every little thing. They be greedy, but still a robust and passionate company if you ask me.

The news of a lack of live stream and CD release is really disappointing to me. These Symphonic series concerts have all been standout performances in the growing realm of video game music orchestras. I hope this all changes before the performance date as I would definitely love to hear some new orchestral arrangements of FFVI's music in particular. I can only imagine what they'll do for the encore.

OSV reports that the decision not to record the performance was the decision of Thomas Boecker, producer of the Spielmusikkonzerte series. He says he wants to focus on the live concert aspect of the production—whatever the hell that means.
