    I've got the CD, and it's decent, but I'd like to see the DVD... wouldn't buy it though... especially having not seen it first.

    One Winged Angel is awesome I listen to it almost everday. And all of Nobuo Umatsus Music is great. I just hope that they consider releasing it in the US though which right now doesnt seem like it...hopefully theyll consider it

    SWEAT!!!!...i was waiting for something like this since 20020220...

    To make things clear...."ONE WINGED ANGEL IS INCLUDED" and the black mages version (FFVIIAC version) i might add....this is going to be AWESOME....

    Im only worried if the Opera "Maria & Draco" is still in English because im afraid om not going to enjoy the opera in JP...(but for the rest...i dont care because i like both JP and english versions of the songs)

    And for the one who said that Zelda music is better:
    "You wish"!!!!....Zelda music is also very good but not as good as the FF music what has both quantity as quality music...

    And for the ones who are complaining that a particualr music piece is not on it....ITS CALLED "VOICES". This concert is about the FF music with voices in it and i think they picked all the good ones

    One Night Concert? Why not tour different regions??? With so many fans in the world of FF, I'm sure they wouldn't have a problem selling out shows. It's totally unfair that Japan gets everything first. That's It! I'm just gonna learn Japanese and Move to Hong Kong!!

    This version of One winged angel is the one from Advent Children. Performed live with a rock band [black mages, i suppose] and a live orchestra. Sounds great in the AC soundtrack, sounded messy live though.

    @rotten_bowel
    I knew it was One-Winged Angel! Hopefully there will be no complaining about the song not being there. I think I'm gonna have to import this when it comes out!

    I simply love Final Fantasy 8`s soundtrack...I consider it the best FF soundtrack so far

  • Basinboy

    Posted Jun 6, 2006 4:19 pm PT

    Excellent, Melodies of Life has to be my favorite and most emotional song piece for any videogame ever. It's only topped by the whole ending sequence of music in FFX. But yeah, Melodies of Life is a fantastic song, though I've been listening to it now for about 6 years.

  • rotten_bowel

    Encores: Brass de Chokobo (FFX), Sairin: Katayoku no Tenshi (FFVII:AC)

    Sairin: Katayoku no Tenshi is One winged angel so stop whining ff7 fanboys

  • Dante200X

    Posted Jun 6, 2006 3:45 pm PT

    If you really want some FF7 music, check the net. Original soundtracks aren't that hard to find. (yes, for FREE)

  • Disgaeamad

    Knew this before GS posted it. Although the music line-up is good, One-Winged Angel and You're Not Alone! would have been a great addition to it.

    Awesome. Final Fantasy music is great. Nobuo Uemtasu is an awesome composer.
