Distant Worlds

Other fun things about the show:

The cosplay! My wife was NOT ready for the crazy and elaborate cosplay. I think she was most impressed with a girl who was dressed as Terra, but she was half human Terra with green hair and half esper Terra. Other standouts were a girl in a traditional white mage outfit, and a fat guy dressed as a fat chocobo. (My wife said "Who comes to one of these shows dressed as a giant chicken? That just rude." I was dyin, hahahahaha)

The merch. Its expensive, but there was some awesome merch available, including cd/dvd/digital media of past shows, shirts, hoodies, and the best: stuffed moogles!

Also, there was a lady in front of us who had some of the actual consumable "elixir" potions that I guess were sold in japan for either final fantasy xi or xii. Anyways, she let me taste it, and it was disgusting. Tasted like stale red bull.

You have to pay for the VIP ticket in order to meet them. I believe the "meet and greet" takes place before the show. If you have anything you want signed, take it with you!

Meet & Greet was after the show for both years in Boston. For items signed, I recall it being 2-3 per VIP ticket. I had 2 tickets and had no problem getting 2 albums and programs signed.

So out of curiosity: does that mean if you're not a VIP Ticket holder, you won't have a chance to meet them/get anything signed?

You may get lucky.....but once the show's over Arnie disappears, I assume, to the backstage area and meets with the VIP holders. I mean..you might get one of the violin players who's lingering on stage to sign something..but don't hold your breath.

KyroeFelix basically said it. With a Symphony the conductor and special performer(s) always exit backstage. Arnie is then taken to a room/designated area for VIP holders. The VIP holders form a line and wait to meet & sign with Arnie and if there is a special guest composer like Uematsu or Hamauzu for example.
