Moguta Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 It's been a couple years since an official Final Fantasy concert has been around the East/NE coast. Or at least since OCRers have been to one. Just noticed that Distant Worlds is landing next week up in NYC (April 1-2). Anyone planning to taste the symphonic deliciousness in person? Know I'm gonna try.

CelestialSonata Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I was going to create a thread about this topic until I saw this one. I'm going on Saturday along with five other friends. We all have VIP tickets to meet Nobuo Uematsu. I'm super excited! Anyone else going? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Is anyone going to the Chicago showing this summer? I've been considering going but haven't found a friend that wants to go yet. @CelestialSonata: Dude, HOW did you get those tickets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 You just pay more money for them, they're not that special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modus Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Anything that gets you close to Nobuo Uematsu is special... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CelestialSonata Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yea, they're on a different price tier. It includes a meet-and-greet, photo session, and some other stuff along with it. @Modus: I couldn't agree with you more. I fell out of my seat when I first found out about it.

Equinox Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Bumping this ish. This is happening tomorrow. Who's going? This will be my second, and about goddamn time they came to NYC. I flew to Chicago last time to do the meet and greet with Nobuo and it was still completely worth it. So uh, what's ya'll favorite final fantasy anyway? tsk tsk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Strader Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Just saw something on Twitter about OC ReMix telling Perez Hilton that VGM CAN be substantial... don't feed da troll! LoL. XD NYC?

Nabeel Ansari Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I'M GOING! ... *cricket chirps* And @Equinox As far as music is concerned, I'm halfway between V and VII. I like VI, too, but not as much as those two. V has great melodies, yet VII's pieces evoke such dark emotion. And, even if overrated, the battle theme/boss theme/One Winged Angel ARE impressive compositions. However, V has a lot of stuff that's very catchy. The game is engaging and has true RPG elements (in other words, job system = epic win), while VII is more of a guided cinematic with RPG elements like levels and weapon/materia choice. (and horrifying PSX graphics) The story is deep though, so I just can't make a choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was kidding bud, I ask the favorite final fantasy question as an age old joke from the OCR's golden era. But glad you're going, it's going to be a blast.

ZealPath Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 It's been a couple years since an official Final Fantasy concert has been around the East/NE coast. Yes and no, Distant Worlds was in Toronto last November, if Canada doesn't count then so be it I guess, but it was a great concert nonetheless! I'm not sure if anyone else from OCR was at that one, though I know we had at least a couple in Vancouver about 2 years ago. I've been to 2 of these myself, Vancouver and Toronto, and they were both awesome while having some overlap and also some completely different songs in each show. If you're an FF music fan you should try to find your way into one of these eventually, it's really a great experience. Seeing Nobuo Uematsu, even if just from your seats is really something else! Having been so recently, this particular one isn't on my list but I hope everyone heading to NY enjoys themselves, and if anyone who goes wants to do a mini-writeup or at least recount the tracklist for us afterward, that would be cool!
