There's already some Susan songs from the FF franchise recorded:
From Final Fantasy XI: Memoro de la Stono~Distant Worlds
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPW549JJFss
From Final Fantasy IX: Melodies of Life
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hskl2dTHYdk
From Final Fantasy X: Suteki da ne
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLKB8AJnaCQ
Unreleased on CD so far but are popular Susan songs at the Distant worlds shows:
From Final Fantasy XII: Kiss Me Goodbye (this is a widely popular one and Susan has said she would like to record a studio version sometime in the future)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nk4T97XjYIo
From Final Fantasy VIII: Eyes on Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA1ij6vC700
It's because of her involvement with Distant Worlds that Nobuo noticed her and chose her to sing Answers. I for one, will definitely welcome more Susan recordings, especially Kiss Me Goodbye. That song sent chills down my spine when I heard her perform it. -

Memoro de la Stono gives me goosebumps. <3 that song.

11-14-2012, 10:51 AMVilhemIt's the whole reason I got into Susan, aside from Kiss Me Goodbye. I was blown away by how much she transformed that song. She captured the essence of the song perfectly that imo, was missing from the original singer (which I don't blame her, as English isn't her native language)Quote:

Answers was originally written in Japanese, but was meant to be sung in English. they translate in-house and then send off the lyrics :p
Michael-Christopher Koji Fox is the one who wrote the English translation lyrics for Answers. So if Soken makes a new composition, he wouldn't have to worry about language (he did this with Good King Moggle Mog and White Raven music most recently) -
11-14-2012, 11:24 AMShougunI've tweeted him before too XD - I just think 200 english tweets would take him a while to translate lol.Quote:

Well... given that "Answers" has finally serve it's purpose, I would love if there's a new theme for ARR. Don't think the old one fits anymore, else if there's 8th Dalamud catastrophe. :p

I am planning on begging her to sing at my wedding one day. No joke -- I accidentally met my fiance in FFXI, and Distant Worlds is a very important song to us. :) I love this woman, definitely supporting the cause!
-
11-14-2012, 11:51 AMBobbinTWel... it isn't. But after seeing the scene of the end of era and how this song played, I felt like... Wow! This song is finally over. It's really weird if I heard the same theme in ARR. ;DQuote:

Instead we get new themes that represents energy (real Emotion) & hope (1000 words) which fit the new chapter after FFX, while the old one just about sadness which also fit with the original ending. :p -

(majority of the singer are past 30, and even 50ish :lol: ) -

This is me personally... I really hated the song, (i loved the song as a song) but how they introduced it and used it in XIV until that final cinematic.. really clashed with me... didn't feel right... but in that End of an Era video... it fit SO WELL... the music fit exactly correctly with the video... made me love the song... but until that part... it just seemed to hang there and not give me any immersion. >.> good singer... just didn't have the same feel as Memoria de Stona did for XI...
-
11-14-2012, 12:26 PMShougunLol I thought it was pretty funny in the intro "think" "hear" "feel" and all that stuff like in answers. I was like "I think I feel I dont want to be hearing you".Quote:

However figuring that I didn't explicitly say "good job on making this song" rather said Encore, to bring us more like it. I already congratulated him on music he made :P in another twitterQuote:

Kinda came off that way, well at least from how I read your msg to him. Either way, I've been planning to send him a msg but thinking of the right way to say it (and in a way he'll understand xD)
-
11-15-2012, 11:06 AMShougunlol I hate the twitter limit (I had 0 characters left) - I wanted to expand out the sentence to flow smoothly (and be more clear without sending two separate "tweets").. But yeah send him something :DQuote:

I do not want a new Susan Calloway song. Maybe some rapper should do the next one.
