Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds

Soo if you follow me on twitter you know that last night I went down to San Diego to the Embarcadero Marina to see the super cool, super epic Final Fantasy concert!! It was an epic adventure of epicness getting there. Comic Con officially started yesterday so there were a lot of conventioneers around with their badges and their goodie bags and their geekiness. On the way to the convention center we happened to walk by the Hardrock Cafe where Entertainment Weekly was having a party of some sort and I saw Eli Roth and this one guy who's name I cant remember and I dont remember where Ive seen him so he will remain a mystery forever, but he was super famous.

Anyway, so Im sure some people are wondering, "WAIT A MINOOT, Final Fantasy... CONCERT?" Yes, friends. The San Diego symphony played songs from all the Final Fantasy games. Nobuo was there being awesome and just hanging out with the cool Square Enix peeps. Here is a song list of the concert:

FF prelude/theme/victory
Zanarkand
FFVIII battle
Swing de Chocobo
JENOVA
Fishermans Horizon
Man with the Machine Gun

INTERMISSION

FFVII Opening-Bomb Mission
Distant Worlds
Theme of Love - MY MOST FAVORITE SONG EVER!!
Prima Vista
Aeriths Theme
FFXIII The Promise, Fangs Theme
Opera Maria and Draco
Terra's Theme
Encore-Sephiroth

There was also a special preview for Final Fantasy XIV featuring new music from Nobuo!! And special never before seen footage of the game. The music was super niiice. The songs are called Twilight Over Thanalan and Beneath Bloody Borders. Over all the concert was great! The orchestra played the music from the games and they showed footage from the games on the three big screens above the stage. When they played Sephiroth they were showing footage of Advent Children and I never heard girls scream so loud over a fictional character. Can you guess who? It was a demon, a demon with a red cape: Vincent Valentine.

After the concert rosanna and I went on a carne asada/burrito run. The End.

PS. If you didnt get to go to this amazing concert dont worry, they are so popular (last nights show sold out!!) that there will be more next year!!
