Anyone going to Distant Worlds in a couple days? :)

I know I am! Sooooooo excited.

Commence speculation about the setlist.

Here's to hoping that we get to hear some of the new XIV tracks...

Doubt there'll be any new XIV music. Distant Worlds was primarily Uematsu's music..but recently with the "Celebration" they were able to collaborate with Naoshi Mizuta, Kumi Tanioka, and the composer for FF12 to create new scores.

Unless Arnie Roth recently worked with Soken, I don't think there'll be any scores untl perhaps later in the year (if they do pick them up)

They already have 1.0's Limsa, Thanalan, Ifrit, and of course, Answers scored. So maybe they'll play something from one of those.

I wish I could go to the concerts though... I love hearing Susan sing live. Too bad they haven't scheduled any shows near my area though ><

Hitoshi Sakimoto. ;) You also missed out Masashi Hamauzu (FFXIII) as well, but I can forgive you for that (I never really liked that much of XIII's OST).

But yeah, as Uematsu is the primary force behind Distant Worlds, I doubt you'll be hearing any of Soken's work (especially any teasers for his ARR work) in those concerts - but it would be awesome if they're included though. :D In any event, I'm holding out hope that DW will be coming back to Australia soon, as I missed the opportunity to attend the previous Aussie concerts due to family commitments sadly. :(

Oh ya forgot Hamauzu XD and I even got to meet him at one of the shows and all... /sits in corner

I'd love to go to Distant Worlds, but it never comes to Alberta ; ;

went to the one in scotland last november, was pretty good, wasnt much XIV content though

Attended Distant Worlds in Edinburgh last year for the 25th anniversary - you're gonna have an awesome time dude

I went to the 25th anniversary concert in Chicago in Dec and going to Nobuo's birthday concert in Omaha next month. :3

They didn't played any in París last month and acording to what Susan told me I don't belive she is going to sing Answers :(

I honestly don't blame them lol. They played the song everywhere at the end of 2012 there.

I'm going to the distant world concert in 2 weeks in Germany

There needs to be another one in New York.

Actually, the repertoire list shows several songs from XIV:

• Twilight Over Thanalan
• Beneath Bloody Borders
• Primal Judgment
• Answers
• Navigator's Glory - The Theme of Limsa Lominsa

Full repertoire available at http://www.ffdistantworlds.com/program
I've never been to a Distant Worlds concert, so I don't know if they play the full repertoire each time, or if it's a subset of the master list.

As for new new works for XIV... it doesn't look like they're playing anything from 2.0.
