God, this was fantastic! I always had a smile on my face when I recognized all these tracks and remembered all the emotions experienced through these games :'D Wish I could've been there sooo badly! Going to visit Distant Worlds in Paris next year, I hope they'll perform this medley there too! :D
I went and saw Distant Worlds in Cleveland this weekend and they only played a about a fifth of this as the Battle Medley. Shame because this was amazing.
VIII... What have they done to you!?!?! Why did they nerf the battle theme? It was the right melody but it was the only theme where they took the power out of the music....
+RHCowboy Well it is a 15 minute piece. It would be kinda tiring to play the fast epic battle themes for that long so I guess the conductor arranged the halfway point for a rest.
Jack Koo The truth is; this was the same exact day FFVII Remake had been announced. I was there myself, and you could genuinely feel a transcending connection between all the fans of Final Fantasy. But yes, I do agree that usually it would be very respectful to wait till the very end to applaud and cheer.
+Kamisura Tamachi Though tbh, I have grown such a strong bond with XIV I tried really hard not to tear up out of the sheer love I have for that theme because I have grown so close to it :) Cheesy I know but the music is so memorable.
Never in a million years did I ever think I'd hear the Final Fantasy 9 battle theme played live.
Fucking 8:11 man, I swear!
I even teared up a little bit, I love that Final Fantasy :')
Hearing FF9's battle theme live is like a dream come true.
dreaming of a full version of ff9 battle theme orchestrated
I never realized how good the first battle theme for Final Fantasy was. I would love to go to Distant Worlds, maybe in 2017 or 2018.
+Adam Clark Its in Houston in 2 months
Adam Clark I hope they perform somewhere near you in the future.
FFXI Shadowlord Theme was amazing
+Goujiki They nailed the Shadowlord battle music, like, wow.
Listening to this made me have goosebumps. I cant imagine what I would feel if I was there in person. The FEELS!
I was there and all I can say was that there was all hype for all the songs! Much love to orchestra for a well put show!!!!!
My god this orchestra is just on fire! 🔥 damnnn love all these battle themes!
SO PUMPED TO SEE THIS IN JANUARY 2018
I can't wait to see this performed in Houston!!!!
ff VIII part is epic
God, this was fantastic! I always had a smile on my face when I recognized all these tracks and remembered all the emotions experienced through these games :'D Wish I could've been there sooo badly!
Going to visit Distant Worlds in Paris next year, I hope they'll perform this medley there too! :D
Saw them play this in Houson... so much hype
Decisive Battle from FFVI and Those Who Fight from VII, played so beautifully.
Great to see FFIX had the biggest scream next to VII....because that's where I lost it
They finally played this live omg

Because they already arranged that song in its entirety for their first album!
Man was that an incredible night! :D
VI best one
I like how everyone cheered on FF7
The 3 boss theme triggered my fight or flight response bc I've had so many close calls to this music
lmao.
FF7 starts playing, the house erupts in cheers.
FF8 starts playing and a single dude goes "Woo!"
泣けてきた😹
where the hell is the album version of this!??!?
I was there and the person recording might have been 3-5 seats over from me o.o
Where can I buy tickets to go to this beautiful place
lol right when they play FFVII
Riku2005 Yeah, FFVII is ridiculously popular.
FFVII Theme Hyped me up..
Man all I heard are FFVII fanboys... previous FF are awesome too you know!
Jack Koo
To be honest they should keep it quiet until the very end. :v
Yeah, they don't treat it with respect like a real concert. It's totally different to the Japanese audience in Distant Worlds Returning Home concert.

VI was the old FF team's swan song. VII was a decent retread with a terrible aesthetic.
Jack Koo I know right?????
This remake of FF battle theme is unreal
ff6 decisive battle is the best.
This is Battle Medley FF1-13. There's no FF14 battle music present.
how to scrap the 10 ...
When does IX start, that's the only one I'm interested in
Man every battle theme is pretty awesome, now they need to do boss themes, which to me ff2 has the most interesting one.
+Mekanatarry ...you do know half of those were boss themes, right?
Wrote the comment at the beginning, so yeah i know.
Of the ones that I know are boss themes (or close to final boss themes), 6, 8, 10, and 11, are pretty much boss themes or final boss themes.
1-14, yet none of 14 was played, just the base FF theme....
+Kamisura Tamachi Exactly! They could have at least played the Boss FATE battle theme
+Kamisura Tamachi Though tbh, I have grown such a strong bond with XIV I tried really hard not to tear up out of the sheer love I have for that theme because I have grown so close to it :) Cheesy I know but the music is so memorable.
It bothers me that some weren't the battle themes, but instead the boss themes, like in FFIII and FFVI
Is there an album of this in HQ?
Four years late, try searching for the Final Fantasy Orchestral Album, it's the last track
FFV best playing, FFVI best story, FFVII best tacky anime aesthetic
Is the bandmaster Nobuo Uematsu?
+John Doe (Androphobe) No, he never conducts at these concerts. The conductor is called Arnie Roth.
Culex theme :)
originally from boss battle theme, FF 4
Listening to this... the themes lost luster after FFXI. The later themes just all felt very vanilla.
They completely ripped away the battle themes from VIII, X, and XIV.
FFXIV has some of the most emotion driven battle themes, they could have finished it off with a bang.
Cheers when they hear FF7 battle music because it's the only FF they've played.... There are better FF games out there.
Man its coming to chicago in december so gay
Came here to hear myself yell OOHHH!! when Cloud jumps onto the train. 6:33 yes that's me people FFVII battle theme for life.
Maximilian Mazzola lol awesome
Maximilian Mazzola I LOVE YOU CLOUD!!!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Maximilian Mazzola disrespectful, hold your applause til the end please.
They have to add FF15 now .
Fanboys only cheered as soon as VII came on. Pfft.
Abhi Rao it is so annoying >:/
It is because Distant Worlds happened after the reveal that FF7 was going to have a remake soon for the PS4.
people cheered on 9 too... guess theres just more new fans in the crowd
Abhi Rao IKR?
I stopped watching after FF10.
can't wait, few days
