Dear God...it is ALMOST a repeat of Dear Friends. There is only a two or three song difference! *chucks all hope out the window*

I'd love to go, but only if it comes to Detroit. I would love to see Uematsu in attendance this time around. I got to see Arnie Roth (conducting) but was very disappointed that Uematsu was not there for autographs and things like that. Even for him to speak on stage, I would have been super happy.

And yeah, almost a repeat of Dear Friends...so unless Uematsu is going to be there, I don't think I'll shell out the cash for this one. Sorry about your luck SE.

Hey, that sounds so exciting.
Chicago? I would be able to make it to that area if I really pull for it. It'll be so difficult to resist, especially with Uematsu in attendance 'n all. IMHO, the FF series is so memorable because of his music. I love the guy! :fangirl:

I hope they make it nearer to Germany. We never had any FF- concerts here, so it would be new for me.

However usually I'm not into concerts, so it should be reachable within a few hours or I won't pay for that. I would love to be there, still. :sad:

Hey, they are going to release a CD for this concert..

I want to go so bad; it's premiering here in Chicago! I didn't go to Dear Friends; i wasn't into FF at that time. :lol:

I don't know if my mom would be willing to go, I mean, she just took me to Video Games Live last year.

And holy crap, if I can't go, I at least want a CD!

man.. you guys are lucky there actually coming to where you are.. if i could see this it would be a dream.. but the CDs.. yea at least if i could have that itll be better than nothing!.. but i love the fact that they always make it a point to play Aerith's theme such a beautiful song.. makes me cry every time i hear it.. if i went to the concert id probably starts sobbing when it starts to play!!!

I wonder which version of Theme of love will be this time...

UPDATE! UPDATE! :D
