[Music] "Distant Worlds" live

[rahskala]

This is from the recent "Voices: Music from Final Fantasy" concert in Yokohama. The arrangement of the CoP ending vocal is really good (it starts at ~3:00), so I figured I'd share. Kinda makes you forget about the not-as-great parts of the expansion...

The song itself was ripped from a DVD that S-E released of the concert, so you can probably find the rest of it somewhere if you look hard enough.

I just finished watching the concert DVD. My favorite parts were Angela Aki's performances and the FF6 opera. Download the DVD here: http://www.2torrent.com/download.php?id ... kv.torrent

I know its offtopic, but this reminds me of something. Does anyone have the music from the Empyrial Paradox, Promathia or Apocalypse Nigh song on their computer that they either ripped from the game or got elsewhere? I'm quite frankly too much of a spaz to do it on my own so I was wondering if anyone could hook me up with that. PM please

Nice find Ichthyos. I've downloaded the torrent for the live concert long time ago, but still parts where people screamed or laughed, there was something on stage that i was obviously missing.

Cant wait till this one gets torrented too. The FF6 opera is nice on the album.

[Kytele]

I have so many different recordings of the FF6 opera. I'm glad to hear another one.

At the Fan Festival, the pianist in the Star Onions played the solo piano version of Vana'diel March. The whole place was dead quiet listening to her play the original log in music, reminiscing i'm sure about the first few months playing FFXI...

Ok enough gayeties, must download torrent.... <.<

FF VI Opera is one of the most amazing pieces of music I've ever heard...especially the long live one (about 20ish mins.) I'm sure this version will be just as good. Great find. Lolzrait^.

Thanks Vade!

Distant Worlds would have been so much better if they had simply bothered to make the vocalist learn how to sing english. -_-
The song is so good, her slurred speech just ruins it.

Edit: I really believe it could have been the best FF theme of the entire series if she could have given a bit more effort to sing clearly in english.
They should really redo it someday, it's worth the effort to contribute to the feel of the story; listening to her english distracts from the emotion the song is attempting to convey.

WOW!

Best 2hours of Final Fantasy Music on the fucking planet. Download the DVD if you can (seeing the musicians adds so much to the performance). You won't regret it. More entertaining then most movies I've watched.

[Bwelch]

Downloading it right now! /praise Ichthyos

[Lasitha]

Does anyone else have problems with the torrent? =/ It says it's not a valid torrent file. I tried in BitTornado, BitLord and BitTorrent.

I too have problems with the Torrent, as in, it not working for me ; ;

But the music download was nice

[Ichthyos]

Hmm my friend said BT official client wouldn't load it (maybe because of the JP chars in the torrent file), but I recommended BitComet, which worked fine for me.

I used uTorrent and it d/l just fine.

[Lasitha]

thx :D

[vodo]

I used uTorrent too, but when I downloaded it it was either a .mka or .mkv (can't remember which) video file, and windows media player couldn't play it. I goggled the file extension and downloaded and installed the matroska media pack, which enabled WMP to play the file, but the audio was choppy, and furthermore, my audio was choppy and laggy when I logged back into FFXI. I have since uninstalled the pack and FFXI is ok, but it doesn't look like I will be able to watch the video until someone figures out how to convert it.

[Vade]

I watch MKV with VLC Player.

[Ichthyos]

The video is MKV. I recommend the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) to play most audio and video files:

Wow guys thanks a bunch for posting that, I have a huge collection of FF music (love any variation of Suteki Da Ne and the Aria) this is going to make a fantastic addition!
