Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY Tickets

Distant Worlds is always a treat, and it was especially fun to be at a performance in the same audience with Uematsu. The venue is in a great location, there's a ton to do in Toronto. The venue interior was modern, so not as fun as a grand old theater, but musically it sounded very good. This was a good selection of songs. It was a little heavy on VII, which makes sense with the remake coming out. My only complaint was that some of the songs felt unrehearsed- the choir seemed to not be following accurately at certain points or were hard to hear/drowned out on some songs. I was super excited to hear Apocalypsis Noctis, but it sounded sadly kind of sloppy. Perhaps more time was needed for the local orchestra and choir to really feel comfortable with the entire repertoire.

This was my first concert with an orchestra. Visuals were a nice addition and crowd interaction felt genuine. All the music was spot on and excellent.

Fantastic event all the way around. Uematsu's music is beautiful and the music from the entire series along with the video montages was amazing to experience. It did take the sound engineers a few songs to get the microphones set at balanced levels for the orchestra and there was some crackling in the speakers at times, but it didn't detract from the overall experience. Please bring this concert back to New Orleans!

An incredible performance, the movie that accompanies the pieces was breath taking. The energy from the crown and music was unbelievable! Will definitely attend again in the future!

Distant Worlds concerts are, for Final Fantasy fans, one of the most beautiful entertainment-related experiences in which one can partake. The New Orleans show was no exception. Anyone who gets the chance should attend a Distant Worlds show.

I just gotta say from start to finish it felt like a little kid in a candy store. I really enjoyed myself being able to meet others who are passionate about final fantasy was fantastic.

AMAZING FROM START TO FINISH. BROUGHT ME TO A SENSE OF NOSTALGIC EUPHORIA.

Super cool to hear Final Fantasy themes done by a live orchestra (and see Nobou in person!) The Crystal Theme and Battle Theme medley were both great (along with many others).

I got these tix for my boyfriend who has played the game so he was familiar with the characters and the music. As a newbie, I wasn't sure what to expect (although I did do some research, but first hand experience is always best), but it was great similar to going to see a symphony. The music was accompanied by short videos.

The event itself was amazing, Nobuo Uematsu, Arnie Roth and Susan Calloway were amazing in their performances and score the would invoke Nostalgia for the Square Enix's venerable franchise and would revive the passion to play through the moments that defined Final fantasy. The editing for the montages were greatly edited and re-scaled graphically to excellent standards and corresponding montage is played with the song of the matching series. The Orchestra itself were phenomenal the scores being played through out the event they did not skipped a beat for the varying scores. The conclusion, the event itself was critically praised and would hope to visit again for the next distant worlds event and would hopefully bring my friend again to enjoy this moment with her. This is not just for the final fantasy fans but for lovers of orchestra who want to hear the new standard of orchestral music.

Unforgettable experience. If you're a fan, you will love it. I'll easily be going again when they visit my area next time.

The venue was so amazing. We sat closer to the stage and we were able to see everything. The Philadelphia orchestra killed it. Arnie Roth and Nobu Uematsu did a fantastic job. I can't wait to see this again!

As a lifelong fan of FF (and of Uematsu's music), I had always wanted to attend a Distant Worlds concert. The show was amazing and included a good variety of classics and medleys and the quality of the performance was excellent. I would have preferred more music from the older games, but all of the pieces were amazing and unforgettable. Everyone in the audience seemed thrilled to be there and went absolutely nuts for Uematsu, who attended the show and went up on stage and spoke briefly. Arnie Roth kept the audience engaged and the show was a lot of fun. If I ever get a chance to go again, I will, and would definitely spring for even better seats or a VIP pass to meet Uematsu and Arnie Roth.

My wife and I had a great time. Met some cool and interesting people. Great show, amazing music, Arnie Roth is amazing! The video content was great, a little repetitive at parts. Loved our seats, the venue was really nice. Concessions were surprisingly pricey compared to other venues. Staff was very nice, other attendees were polite and easy to interact with. We would/will definitely recommend these shows and this venue to our friends! I would like to give this a 5*, but I have seen the show before and there were some things that were better at other shows, all in all we loved it though!

this show never disappoints, final fantasy fans should not miss it, superbly performed music from all of the greatest games in the series

The event was very than expected. It was an amazing experience.

The show was absolutely amazing. The music was varied and expertly performed. Better than the London philharmonic or any other Orchestra and better than most concerts. This gets a final fantasy 8 out of 5

FF music was enchanting, as always. Great concert.

Was a wonderful venue filled with the music of my imagination. I have listened to these songs for 25 years and was moved when hearing them live for the first time. Orchestral show felt like a rock concert with the cheering and excitment of the crowd. Would definitely do this again.

I know nothing about reviewing philharmonics and their music, all that I do know is that if you are fan of the Final Fantasy series, then this is an event that you cannot miss. It is a celebration of the music as much as it a celebration of the series as a whole.
