Halo me also like FF
the concert need to pay??
how much??

can i have the information?

and need bring many money to SG??
If can i willgo
*
Sinhan, u can look at my 1st post for more information. Besides, of coz it need to pay. It's official one. The tix price ranging from SGD20 - SGD80, but too bad the tix already sold out juz few days after the tix are available for purchase. But there're still tix on sale on the internet at premium prices. U can search eBay for that.

QUOTE(wu ming @ May 16 2009, 05:12 PM)
Me and my friend from Penang will be going as we have pre-booked the tickets earlier.
*
I see. Pre-booked? Means havn't pay yet?

Btw, jehutyz. Wat'll be ur plan to go there? Time of departing & return, accommodation & activities over there, mind to share?

let's gather outside the auditorium!
Someone make a board with a note 'lowyat members here' please!

Lol! Seriously? Sounds funny. Anyway, it should be 'Ppl from Malaysia' instead. We're all FF fans & it should be much rarer for Malaysians to go to Singapore for this.

taking airasia to singapore Saturday morning. the plane will depart at 10am. Hmm anyone boarding the same flight as me?

I'll be staying at my friend's place.

Plan to play some sf4 in the arcadesbefore the concert smile.gif Should reach esplanade say 7.00 -7.30pm..by taking MRT to the city hall MRT station then walk 10 mins to esplanade.
*
Okay, information updated. Wat's sf4? Guess better allocate some spare time in case of emergency. U wouldn't want to miss it, right?

For some occasions suite with no tie is consided casual so I do not know whats the definition of casual I just do not want to be bared from going in after taking 8 hours bus there and 8 hours back.
*
It's always fine to wear as formal as possible for this kind of event. Concerts are usually not even this lenient. Anyway, wear as smart as possible lar. A credit to the musicians.

QUOTE(GKilla @ May 19 2009, 01:12 PM)
cool. lets meet up. anyone else?

i'm gonna be alone so its nice to find someone to chat about final fantasy.

Nice idea. I'll be staying till Sunday morning. So, perhaps can meet u guys up on Sat afternoon. Is another person going for Friday session staying on Sat?

Hey, guys!! I'm back from Singapore too. But not today lar, Sunday. Was too tired to reply to u guys, while yesterday went to share my exp with my fren. =p

The concert is fantastic!!! The songs are nice~ & it really is my dream to listen to FF music in real orchestra. Really exciting to attend it, especially Nobuo Uematsu attending!!! Met & talked to Nobuo Uematsu in person asked him to come to Malaysia in Japanese. =p Got his signature on my artbook too!!! It's really great!! It's really a memorable concert.

The songs that I like the most are
To Zanarkand
Aerith's Theme
Medley 2002
Opening - Bombing Mission
Fisherman's Horizon
Theme of Love
Love Grows
Opera "Maria and Draco" (Celes's song!! XD)
One-Winged Angel
& the surprise Terra's Theme, according to Arnie Roth!! Lol.

We had Terra's Theme as our 2nd encore piece, & it's really a lil surprising to know that too. It's a really nice song, especially in march ver. Sounds like I like every song. Haha. But these are not all of the songs performed too lar.

Anyway, here's some picture souvenir I've took. Some quite blur, especially Nobuo Uematsu's photo. Guess I was trembling too much due to the excitement. Lol. Visit my Facebook for more photos.

Eh, why did not add me to the list!? mad.gif

My friend and I will be attending the session on Saturday afternoon.

I do not need to come here as I am staying here. thumbup.gif

Hey Adrian, wanna meet up? wave.gif
*
Soree, soree. Missed out. Now added to the list already. =p U're Singaporean?

QUOTE(YunaX @ May 23 2009, 12:29 AM)
reporting from singapore. concept has ended and its beyond words. even got his autograph on my ticket.
i almost got the mic to ask him question, oh well.
anyway, will be uploading photos when i come back.
for those who are attending today, ready to be blown away.
YunaX OUT
*
I also got Nobuo Uematsu & Arnie Roth's signature on my artbook!!! Really happy!!! Finally, I can meet Nobuo Uematsu in person & I talked to him to & ask him to come to M'sia in Japanese too~ But too bad I didn't manage to take a photo with him & almost all of the photos I took of him are blur. Zzz... Perhaps my hand was trembling too much due to excitement. But my camera is really not good enough. I used my K750 to take. >< Forgot to bring camera... =(

So, I'm wondering which were u. I'm the 1st Malaysian that asked them to come to Malaysia during the Q&A session. Btw, my seat is at Row U of Stall, juz beside the 2 sound engineers.

QUOTE(fujkenasai @ May 24 2009, 06:08 AM)
Ahh so good you got your tickets signed. I didn get my CD signed cos he has to go off and prepare for saturday night's show.  cry.gif  cry.gif  cry.gif

Ahh well atleast I get to ask him questions.

Me too, just a little bit more too  sad.gif

But teh concert is awesome  thumbup.gif

I see... Soree for that. I was lucky enough for them to extend the autograph session for us until the last one is signed. The queue was long~ & I was among the last few in the queue & they said that it is for 20 mins only earlier. Really thx to Nobuo Uematsu & Arnie Roth for signing for us. =)

Btw, wat question did u ask?

QUOTE(YunaX @ May 24 2009, 11:06 PM)
whoo... just got back!
this may be one of the most memorable trip in my life!
cheers to nobuo and his terrific performers.

too tired to upload photos now, in fact my head is still spinning due to turbulence. Will do it tomorrow, so stay tuned =)
*
Agree! How did u come back btw? I came back by Transnasional bus. It took 7 hours to reach & they actually went back via the old custom & stucked in the jam & went to JB to fetch other passengers. It sux man. Next time take First Coach lar.

QUOTE(jehutyz @ May 24 2009, 11:17 PM)
Back too...
Awesome. A very nice experience. Feel great when lookin at the video especially the chocobo.
*
Actually, I think that the video is distracting. I go there for music not for video. Lol. But perhaps this concert is cater for gamers more. Besides, there're more encore pieces lor~~ Why the audience didn't want to keep clapping~? =.=

QUOTE(Kz_Kidd @ May 25 2009, 09:34 AM)
just back ! Amazing Performance on the last show. Received Sir Arnie and Nobuo san hand shaked and autograph.

I talked with Sir Arnie and wish him come to Malaysia to perform this great Nobuo FF Scores. He felt very suprised that alot of Malaysian Fans actually turn out in Singapore.

Wish there is any event organizer directly contact Sir Arnie for arrangement ! Bravo for One Winged Angel !
*
Oh, really? He told u? I also found out that there're quite a number from Malaysia. The MC in Q&A session sounded like he doesn't hope the next ppl asking for question is not from Malaysia. ^^" Anyway, there're actually ppl come from Indonesia!!! I heard there're ppl even come from Vietnam! Wow. That's surprising. Shown, the attractiveness of this concert.

QUOTE(jehutyz @ May 25 2009, 09:41 AM)
True. I think he did heard our voice and saw Facebook comment.
Hope the next tour, Malaysia will be one of it.
*
Wat's the link for this? Btw, add me in Facebook lar, u guys.

QUOTE(Kz_Kidd @ May 25 2009, 09:52 AM)
Do we have a great hall in KL ? Penang sure tak ada.

Jehutyz, pm me ur facebook contact. act I am late to know the concert around earlier of May, fortunate that I called to Sistic and ask for hope and in return they quickly informed me last 10seat reserved tickets released and I managed to grap 2 !

Lets pray hard to have another round in Malaysia next time ! CD sure better then MP3 ! enjoying it now !
*
Yes, Malaysia Philharmonic Hall with Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra (MPO). One of my fren is the top trumpeter in M'sia. He actually said that the concert hall under the Petronas Twin Tower is one of the best concert hall, not sure is in South East Asia only or in the world lar. But the MPO is actually quite good around the world, the best in South East Asia, so means much better than the Singapore Festival Orchestra in Singapore.

The tour end at mid of July. Think after that they will plan for the next tour and the arrangement for the new song, Dancing Mad and JENOVA.
So let's see will they comin to Malaysia in the next tour. PLEASE!!!!!
If Singapore again.... hahaha no care... go again.

I'm late to the show. Left 5 min before the show start. Didn't check out the CD. During itermission, the CD already sold out. Sad.
*
I'm actually more interested in Clash On The BIg Bridge rather than Dancing Mad lor~ It is much nicer. While for JENOVA, it's good lar. I wonder how's it on orchestral ver.

QUOTE(Kz_Kidd @ May 25 2009, 10:33 AM)

I listen hundred times of MP3 inside my car before I got my Distant Worlds CD... no question ask, CD the still the best as of now.

I am not pro in detail how to analysis the music quality but it actually make your hearing more even better experience.
Of coz the quality of CD is better. CD is lossless. I extracted the songs from the CD as lossless on my pc. & the sound quality is very different from normal mp3. Sounds really nice~ But the file space is really a lot. ><

But oh well, at least i got his signature and stood side by side with him. No regrets, wonderful trip
