I thought this union could use a thread to post updates on soundtracks, toys, weapon reconstructions etc. by square-enix, which are most likely more popular in japan than NA, but can still intreague and amuse us.

The newest product I've found:

http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-92-49-en-70-23or.html

I'm actually considering getting a couple of these.. they look so much cooler than the usual 'trading figures'..

and now that the official SE website is up, we might as well link to that too:

Nice idea to put up info about Square-Enix's other products :). I hope someday Square-Enix will bring all of them to the US. Back at my old college I saw a guy who had the official Shin-Ra company pin on his suit. Since then I've been itching to find a place to buy one. These mini figures look pretty cool though.

Oh, you listen to the Black Mages? That is another SquareEnix product which is pretty cool. For those who do not know the Black Mages are a group made by Nubuo Uematsu who redo some of his old songs into rock influenced pieces. They are decent overall, but mainly the 2nd CD is terrible, except for that one track. The first CD is pretty good. One thing that does stand out over every other song is Big Bridge. I don't care for the Black Mages, Dear Friends, or a few of those other copy cats. I thought Dear Friends was terrible...Now some of Uematsu's work on the syphonic stage were clearly PHENOMINAL. Especially his album called Final Fantasy 2002200 I beleive. It was a lot of variety, and redone songs. You can find this album on the SquareEnix website under music, and composer. :)

I have that CD! It's SO GOOD!

And you know what's really crazy? I think it was about 2 years ago...I went to a concert similar to that in Chicago called "Dear Friends" (not to be confused with the CD called Dear Friends). They played a ton of orchestrated FF music - even from FFXII before it was even released! Then...Nobuo Uematsu himself took the stage. I think I cried. OK, I don't think I cried, I know I cried. :P

That same night I got a poster with his signature on it. :D It's hanging on my wall, framed.

They only played one track from FFXII and it was the main theme from the game.

Trying to remember, they also played Liberi Fatali, One Winged Angel, Vamo' Alla Flamenco, Aeris's Theme, Cloud's Theme, Zanarkand, a medley of FFI-FFIII, some song from FFXI...

Have you ever heard them in concert? They are actually pretty unorganized while in concert. I'ved watch a few videos of them in concert and they were very unorganized for a group that is idolized.

I wish I had a digital camera! If I did I would most certainly take a picture!

Actually...come to think of it, I think I may already have pictures from the concert. And I think I have a disposable camera lying around. I'll take some random pictures today and post them whenever I get them developed.

*starts looking for the old concert pictures*

OK, so I found this really old crappy picture of the concert. You can see it here.

I think this may be the only picture I have! That's so bad. Anyways, I found my disposable camera and took a picture of the poster. I also took a picture of all my gaming stuff. I believe there's a thread around here for everyone to post their gaming stuff...so I will put it there once I get the pictures developed! :)

Wow, that's cool. I think that would be cool if they had a small little shop on a side street were the sell merchandise! Like one of those comic book shoppes. :) Out of all the different kinds of media they've done so far I'm surprized they haven't made an anime yet. (Oops forgot about that flop!)
