Final Fantasy XIII-2’s Chocobo Theme - Crazy Chocobo

The new chocobo theme includes the lyrics “so you think you’re gonna ride this chocobo,” and “everybody’s gonna want to ride your chocobo.”  Just… cut it out Square Enix.  Please.

Somewhere, Nobuo Uematsu is crying himself to sleep.

Memoro de la Stono - Distant Worlds (Atlanta 5/6/11)

This past Saturday I had the pleasure (might be the biggest understatement of the year) to go see the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra play Nobuo Uematsu’s music, conducted by Arnie Roth.  The show, Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy, was absolutely phenomenal.  There were moments that gave me chills and took my breath away.  One of these moments was during the performance of the song Distant Worlds (the 2nd part to this 2 song video).  I had never heard it before and when the choir came in at “the big part,” I was blown away.  This video can’t really do justice to the sound quality that I heard at the theater, but I want so badly to share this song with everyone.

If you listen to one song today, listen to the one in the video.  If you can’t afford all the time, at least listen to the 2nd song (the one I really wanted to share), starting around 3:00.  I’ll probably post the mp3 later for sound quality. 

It was an awesome night.  The whole orchestra did a great job and it was really fun watching Arnie Roth do his thing.  I didn’t get to talk to Uematsu, but I did scream at him from the balcony.  OH!  And they played One Winged Angel as an encore.  Uematsu sang along with the choir for that one.
