Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds

It was a last-minute invitation, and I knew very little about the franchise (save the Chocobo and its infinite cuteness). Nonetheless, I was still thrilled about attending a live concert amid suppressing the cold virus that simply had to sneak on me on the day itself. I was relieved that I had survived the evening. Pardon the delay here, as I have just received the official photographs today. Yeah, we weren't allowed to take pictures which was quite a shame frankly. Anyway, the difference in perspective shouldn't affect much the wonderful time that I had. Oh, my fellow writer Neko was with me as well. I shall try to recall to the best of my memory the highlights of that evening. Here we go, Final Fantasy: Distant Worlds!

The live concert was held at The Star on Saturday (December 3rd), 7.30pm. The crowd was just insane! It was my first time attending anything at said venue, so you can imagine how overwhelming the experience was even before the performance began. There was also an amazing merchandise line-up, but I wasn't really comfortable getting sandwiched just to see what the tables had. Anyway, the seats Neko and I were allocated had an amazing view of the stage. Lucky! Well, if only we could take pictures. It was a great view indeed.

Unfortunately, as my limited knowledge of Final Fantasy was unable to gear me up in any way for the live concert, I could only sit there in blind anticipation. The large projector screen in the middle of the stage complemented the orchestra and choir with game visuals. The hardcore fans were aggressively vocal about their love and enthusiasm. Thankfully, my ears were still fine. I did cheer a bit to cover up my inadequacies. After all, enjoyment and knowledge are separate things. The arrangement was superb and carefully thought out. The gradual build-up to the climax was nothing short of spectacular. Of course, the tribute to Chocobo was the only consolation which I could take away with a little more conviction.

There were a few surprises during the live concert, one of which was the vocalist behind Suteki Da Ne - Rikki. She sounded a little shaky and out of breath, particularly at the high notes. But the chemistry between her and the orchestra was great. She reappeared two more times for the bow.

I had a wonderful time, even though I wasn't familiar with the franchise. Did I mention that it was also the first live symphony concert for me? I hardly listen to instrumental music, so the concert was truly something to have blown my mind away.

Eccentrically Yours.
