First U.S. Final Fantasy Concert Announced

Posted by simoniker on from the chocobo-poop dept.

Carlos Rodriguez writes "I just read at Games Are Fun that Square Enix has officially announced the first U.S.-based Final Fantasy Concert. Entitled 'Dear Friends', it will take place in Los Angeles at the Walt Disney Concert Hall this May 10th, and will feature melodies from the entire series composed and arranged by Nobuo Uematsu. This is the first Final Fantasy music event since 'Final Fantasy 20020220' took place on February 20th, 2002 and the first official Final Fantasy concert to take place outside Japan... It looks like fun! Anybody is planning to attend?"

      The sad thing is that FF is a mainstream RPG (aka cookie cutter shit that is the same, time and time again.) That means it's normal people that are trying to be geeks and failing miserably at it.

    I'm not going (unless Slayer opens for them or something, even then it's iffy), but if you do go, just remember...

    The people wearing costumes are not monsters that you need to attack! This is not a real version of Kingdom Hearts!

    With that said, Carlos, I hate to break it to you, but this isn't Japan! You, um, can't do that kind of stuff here. You just can't. I mean, it just doesn't work that way. This just has "spooky" and "homoerotic" written all over it. And, being at a Disney place, it's just plain weird. You're probably not worried about getting labeled with a common name like Carlos Rodriguez, but man, think about the people that are before you ask a question like this. You could ruin somebody's social life by making them think that it's ok!

    Until Slashdot fixes the funny modifier, use insightful or interesting. The poster knows your intentions.

    Disclaimer: Do not read if you blindly buy anything Square Enix regurgitates.

    Am I the only one that can't stomach music that's been so commercially manufactured like this. Granted FF has some good sound tracks but the music for it's own sake is just awful.

    Go ahead mod me down but I seem to remember this being a forum for discussion, not to tout a prevailing opinion.
