Gee, that's actually a really good deal. I probably won't buy it, as watching a concert on the tele isn't nearly as much fun as seeing it live, but I certainly will buy the albums. I've purchased what the first one, which they had on iTunes a while ago (yeah...).

Looks like they weren't fooling anyone with the April 1st release date...though for Amazon UK it's being release on the 15th. I'm still not sure whether to buy it or not because I'm still not sure what the language is...

That is easily answered Kid:

Product Details

* Format: Box set, NTSC
* Subtitles: English
* Region: All Regions

Picked from the amazon.com details :-)

It's really SO NOT (yet?) available on amazon.co.uk, which I'm a bit confused about. But I have a customer review from amazon.com which might clear things up a bit more:

"To clear the confusion, this set contains songs from the Distant Worlds I album within one of it's 3 disks - One DVD and 2 audio CD's. What sets the difference between this version of the music and the album version is that NONE of these songs are digitally remastered - what you hear here is what you hear from a live recording without the computer re-mastering the tracks themselves. Granted, the album itself sounds much better (for those audiophiles)but this set is definitely for those who has attended the Distant Worlds Concerts or those who wished to attend but couldn't. Now, this set contains 1 DVD for the concert itself and 1 disk for Distant Worlds I. What's the last CD? It includes some songs (but not all)from the Distant Worlds II album. Again, these are not-modified in any way from their recording (or at least that's what the representative told me), but what shocks me more were that there are some pre-release soundtracks for FFXIV (Final Fantasy 14) and some from FFXIII (Final Fantasy 13). Because the Final Fantasy XIV OST is not yet released at the time of this review, this is a MUST HAVE for those hardcore fans (especially the Nobuo Uematsu ones).
Included is also an art book of high quality of the concert Distant Worlds:Returning Home from the concert in Japan. There is also a bonus track in the DVD about the background productions of Distant worlds in Japan itself during its Returning Home Concert."

Ah thanks. I was looking it up on my iPod. Probably why I couldn't see subtitles...though I could see language and it was blank...Hm...Okay...time to buy...

Just attended the concert in Sydney last night, and my god, it was amazing. The atmosphere, the music, fantastic! Bought the DVD while I was there, and it was definitely worth it.

So worth it for someone who missed out on a chance to see it and probably won't get another one for some time. Though...I did notice the lack of FFXII songs...and FFIV...XD I guess XII really wasn't that memorable.

That was a great buy. For those who can't see it live, this is the way to go. And I found it was a good family time, explaining FF to them...

I do have one question though...when did Serah's Theme become Fabula Nova Crystallis?

Hmm, yeah I noticed that as well.. kinda fail. But luckily the vocalist was absent from the Sydney performance on Saturday night Big Grin (since I like FNC a lot more than Serah's theme)

Well, as it's finally available as a PAL version, I ordered the DVD+2CD-set from Amazon UK, and it's quite the deal for the price! I'm so LOVING this set to pieces! <3

It's 27 tracks from all our beloved Final Fantasy games, with excerpts from the game playing in the background. Especially the Chocobo song has some nice visuals Big Grin

Enjoying every minute of this.... and I can really recommend it to anyone who loves gaming music. This is value for money.

My favourite so far is Vamo alla Flamenco (FFIX) with Meng-Feng Su at the guitar!

YAY to my European friends!! Nice to see you guys can finally watch it!

My favorite piece out of them all was Answers from FFXIV.





And yes, so much value for the money!!
