Okay, I'm a bit excited.  Distant Worlds:  The Music From Final Fantasy is making a stop in Grand Rapids, MI on April 14th of next year in which Nobuo Uematsu will be there in person.  There will be a meet and greet session following the concert in which you can meet Uematsu, Arnie Roth, and others.  

I just happened to snag a couple of tickets for myself and my wife, so being inspired by his music so much, this is like a dream come true for me.  Is anyone else planning on attending this concert?

And to have another reason for this topic, what is your favorite Uematsu piece?  It can be any from his early days, to his most recent Lord of Vermilion?

Jeremy

P.S.  Oh... did I mention how EXCITED I AM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol ^_^

*sarccy remark*

Nah, Uematsu's a pretty awesome composer. The fad at the moment is hating that kind of thing.

I dare you to start a one winged angel chant, clapping above your head and nodding at him knowingly.

Make sure when he is around, you get a stereo and play a battle theme from one of the Final Fantasy games(preferably VI). When you start to play it, have a guy in a rat costume come up, and you draw out a giant foam masamune and engage in your typical cliche RPG fight.

Which, in a grander context, is all but a fleeting moment.

I went to the Dear Friends concert in Chicago but didn't get to meet him.  He came on stage though and spoke in Japanese.

Yeah... I've been thinking of things to do... but I want to do something that won't get me thrown out of the building...lol.  But yeah, it is a once in a lifetime opportunity.  I'm really looking forward to it.  And yes, I wish I could have gone to Dear Friends too.  And yes, my wife does know i'm making a Final Fantasy VI fan game. 8)

also apparently some other dude made the song I liked in fxii, it wasn't even uematsu. *rpgfan93 strolls in, chuckles about the inferiority of fxii's soundtrack, scoffs at my ignorance and wanders back to g&d never to post in music again*

actually don't respond to this, I don't even care. good for you dude I hope you get something out of it

Good for you, man. This is pretty excellent! I think you should follow him back to his hotel and scream VENI VENI VENIAS NE ME MORI FACIAS to his car window as he is coming out of the car, because I'd definitely do that.

having an opinion that contradicts you means someone is just following a fad. got that. GW'ers can't accept other opinions.

Seems cool for you man. FF8's soundtrack is really cool, so I ain't gunna badmouth him.
