Final Fantasy Distant Worlds Concert in Nashville

[Sanctus]

Of course the concert was a little over a week ago and I'm late to comment, but it was excellent. Uematsu was sadly not able to make it and there was no vocal choir so Liberi Fatali was omitted. You would've loved the concert, Nekomata, because all of the songs you listed were performed.

Roth did say that they've been working on new music, and we got to hear a battle music medley and a chocobo medley. The chocobo medley had a hilarious and adorable video, there were laughs and aw's all over the house.

The most disappointing thing -- besides Uematsu's absence -- was that I didn't get to buy a t-shirt. I can probably buy one on the internet though. A tip: if you ever get to attend, bring cash if you want to buy some stuff. I was able to get some things on my card but most of it required cash.

Roth also hinted that they'll be coming back and that he wants to do Dancing Mad when he returns. At the opening of the concert he said, "I hear it gets 'Dancing Mad' in here sometimes," pointing to the massive organ behind him. He spoke fondly of it, referencing it throughout the evening. :3

So I'm hoping for another album soon and a swift return to Nashville, although the latter will probably take longer than I can bear to wait.

One song I'd like to see them include on an album in the future is The Oath from FFVIII. That song was played when Squall delivered his speech to rally the downcast Seed in the battle of the flying Gardens. That was a pretty significant moment for his character growth. The music sounds very, well manly but moving.

And I didn't cry when Aeris's Theme was played but is it ever intensely sorrowful, yet sweet. Aeris...
