So...Distant Worlds
Jun. 11th, 2013 11:51 amIt showed in the Atlanta Symphony hall for the seventh and the eighth of June. I went on the eighth.
It. Was. Amazing. Beyond. Words. It was awesome being surrounded by so many Final Fantasy fans (me and Monique even chatted with three sitting in front of us)--some were even cosplaying or had brought merc of the series. Alas I didn't buy anything because the merc at the concert was too pricy for what I had on me at the time.
One of the highlights of the evening was definitely hearing Susan Calloway sing. At first I was a little bothered by the fact that she took deep breaths through her mouth rather than her nose (a sign she hasn't been properly trained) but her powerful voice quickly won me over, especially in her cover of Eyes on Me. MIND. BLOWN. Another song she covered was Suteki da ne which was just as beautiful (though I still prefer Erutan's cover of it).
6/8/2013 Program:
- Final Fantasy Series: Main theme (Is it bad I was quoting Brentalfloss' cover on it?)
- Final Fantsy I-III: Medley 2002
- Final Fantasy VIII: Eyes on Me (Her best performance of the night. But then I'm biased towards VIII)
- Final Fantasy IV: Battle with the Four Fiends (Is it bad I was hearing this while picturing Hyadain's version?)
- Final Fantasy V: Main theme
- Final Fantasy X: Zanarkand (One of my favorite compositions in the FFX OST)
- Final Fantasy XI: Distant Worlds
- Final Fantasy VIII: Don't be afraid (at one point they showed the Dollet sequence in the screen and I kept quoting "Chicken wuss!" at seeing Zell get all pissy towards Seifer. There was also one bit where I wondered if someone was playing the game backstage at that very moment XD)
- Final Fantasy Series: Chocobo Medley 2012 (Definitely one of the more animated moments. Especially when they switched to Mambo de Chocobo from V)
INTERMISSION (where much fangirling/boying was had)
- Final Fantasy VII: Opening--Bombing Mission
- Final Fantasy XIII: Blinded by the Light
- Final Fantasy VI: Phantom Forest
- Final Fantasy IX: You're Not Alone (One of the highlights of the evening for me. I was even quoting Erutan's cover on it!)
- Final Fantasy X: Suteki da ne (While I didn't know the lyrics, I did enjoy Susan Calloway's cover)
- Final Fantasy XI: Vana'diel March
- Final Fantasy VII: Aerith's Theme (Again, started quoting Erutan)
- Final Fantasy Series: Battle/Victory Theme Medley
- Final Fantasy VI: Terra's Theme (I love Terra's theme so inwardly I squeed XD)
ENCORE
- One Winged Angel (Not only that but the audience got to sing along! I felt we all sounded a bit shy at first but quickly gained more confidence throughout. IT WAS AWESOME.)
Overall, it was a wonderful experience and well worth the money spent in getting the tickets. Hopefully there will be a repeat experience in the future.
On another unrelated note, have a Seto Kaiba AMV with You Know My Name (I'VE BEEN LOOKING EVERYWHERE FOR AN AMV OF SETO KAIBA WITH A JAMES BOND THEME XD):
