Distant Worlds in LA: LIVE DURING E3! Distant Worlds Philharmonic Orchestra Arnie Roth, conductor Susan Calloway, featured vocalist Hitoshi Sakimoto, FINAL FANTASY XII composer in attendance The Angeles Chorale June 17, 2015
I went and saw Distant Worlds in Cleveland this weekend and they only played a about a fifth of this as the Battle Medley. Shame because this was amazing.
God, this was fantastic! I always had a smile on my face when I recognized all these tracks and remembered all the emotions experienced through these games :'D Wish I could've been there sooo badly! Going to visit Distant Worlds in Paris next year, I hope they'll perform this medley there too! :D
VIII... What have they done to you!?!?! Why did they nerf the battle theme? It was the right melody but it was the only theme where they took the power out of the music....
+RHCowboy Well it is a 15 minute piece. It would be kinda tiring to play the fast epic battle themes for that long so I guess the conductor arranged the halfway point for a rest.
Jack Koo The truth is; this was the same exact day FFVII Remake had been announced. I was there myself, and you could genuinely feel a transcending connection between all the fans of Final Fantasy. But yes, I do agree that usually it would be very respectful to wait till the very end to applaud and cheer.
+Kamisura Tamachi Though tbh, I have grown such a strong bond with XIV I tried really hard not to tear up out of the sheer love I have for that theme because I have grown so close to it :) Cheesy I know but the music is so memorable.
