The nearly sold out event promises to be one of the biggest yet, and we have two pairs of tickets to give away to our lovely TSA readers.
The celebration, which takes place at the Akoo Theater, will have a special lobby event that takes place before and after the concert.
This includes a special duet performance by Nobuo Uematsu and conductor Arnie Roth, a Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy tournament where you can win a custom FFXIII-2 console, and a Final Fantasy themed photo booth. Everyone that attends the concert will also receive a free limited edition poster. It’s going to be awesome, to say the least.
It’s really exciting being able to send another group of TSA readers to one of these events again. I’ve had the privilege of attending every concert in Chicago since they started doing this back in 2005 and it has only gotten better each and every time. If you have never been to a Distant Worlds before, this is your chance to experience the brilliant work of Nobuo Uematsu live.

The theme of the Sanctuary of Zi’tah from Final Fantasy XI. It’s just so calm and moody. I love it.
Unfortunately I’m not entering the contest…

For me, this song symbolised such a great personal loneliness for Celeste. I love the beginning introduction, and it symbolises for me all final fantasy games (although my favorite is 8) because, (in my opinion) this was the last time that such personal involvement was the main focus of a game from Square. The personal involvement for me, made me remember to be strong and try to make the best of things. Although I never may do the things I want to do in life, it reminds me to keep my chin up.

The name of the song is Aria Di Mezzo Carattere, by the way.

My fav is ‘To Zanarkand’!!! Brings back such good memories (and that is the only song I can play on the piano and I am musically illiterate. I memorized how to play it on youtube and practiced everyday)

I like “1000 words” on Final Fantasy X-2. It is a very powerful song that shows that no matter how much time and space separates two people, true love is everlasting and prevails throughout all time and history.

My favorite song ever from the Final Fantasy series is Theme of Love.
The song has been a favorite of mine since I first heard it when I was eight years old (I’m now 27) and it brings me joyful memories with my three favorite Final Fantasy characters. I would play Final Fantasy IV (II back in the SNES days) on late summer nights, lonely from moving away from all my friends to a new state, and live for what would develop next between Cecil, Kain and Rosa; learning about the strain that love could have on a friendship. Final Fantasy IV was the first game that made me realize video games could have beautiful stories.
[Yes I would like to enter the contest, I only live 2 hours away from the theater!]
