This was on my mind, and likely the minds of others as I headed to the concert from Tachikawa Station. There was the usual hope and excitement, but also worry and dread about whether or not they’d be able to pull it off. As you’re all well aware, concerts like Video Games Live, Distant Worlds, and PLAY! A Videogame Symphony often feature Nobuo Uematsu’s scores from the core Final Fantasy series, which are of course the most popular titles in the series, but this concert being entirely dedicated to a spin-off not composed by Uematsu ( Hitoshi Sakimoto and Masaharu Iwata scored FFT) seemed impossible.īut it happened! When the news of this FFT-only orchestral concert arose, the excitement spread like wildfire everywhere.

First of all, to answer the question on everyone’s mind, yes, permission from Square Enix had been obtained in order to perform these works.

This was a free concert devoted to Final Fantasy Tactics music featuring a whopping 61 of the 71 tracks of the FFT soundtrack.
