Titan shown during Distant Worlds event in London.

Just got back from the distant worlds event in London, which was fantastic btw. Anyway, i noticed during the song "Answers" they showed off something potentially never seen before.

Has Titan ever been seen before in-game? or could this be ARR footage snuck in?

This was scenes from the FFXIV 1.0 pre release trailers. but do to the earthquake and tsunami in Japan they removed them from the story for sensitivity issues. So the footage is old and still around, but not used due to 3-11 in Japan

Edit: realized I thought "leviathan and Titan" but didn't type it for "them"

ahh, that sucks. but thanks for clearing that up!

I thought the same thing! Still, incredible concert! I bumped into Nobuo during the interval, had a great time :)

I've had the pleasure of hearing that song performed live twice. It's so amazing @.@ Wish I coulda been at the London concert lol

Looking forward to the Edinburgh one on Sunday, can't wait :D

I wish they'd make the orchestrated version of Answers the theme song for ARR. It sounds better than the rock version IMO. They've made orchestrated soundtracks for other games in the past, I don't see why they can't make this exception for this song.

They both have their pros and cons. If you're talking about the Distant Worlds CD/DVD version, that's an amazing version. However, it was the debut performance of the song to a live audience, so Susan didn't sing it as powerfully as she does now.

If they did use an orchestrated version, I'd rather have them re-record her vocals over a pre-recorded orchestra. Or maybe just mix the current vocal with orchestra. Maybe...they could use both versions! (Hey I can dream ~_~)

Looks like they are using the same model planned for the 1.0 release before Yoshida took over:

London concert was pretty special, though I missed them having another go at Dancing Mad on that pipe organ (it goes up one whole side of the Royal Albert Hall), since that was pretty special last time. I really liked the new section he added into the opera, too.

Also, Answers has some real weight to it live.

Also: Sakaguchi was in the house!

Here's the live version from the Distant Worlds DVD. It's worth picking up :3

They have other 14 pieces they played live (Limsa Lominsa theme, Twilight Over Thanalan, and Ifrit fight)

I'm going to the one in Edinburgh tomorrow, going to be a lot of fun. Disappointed Nobuo won't be there though.
