Does anyone live reasonably close to the Sydney Opera House and is willing to go to this + House me?

 

[Zxv]

[Attila_]

Make sydney's major on that weekend and I'll defs go.

 

[C~Dog]

Should totes do this for Zelda

:m

 

[Scabe]

FF music > Zelda music > CPU > EA

I'd definitely go to a "Smashing...Live!" concert. I love the music of Smash.

 

[Rad]

I don't think I'll be missing this. Also; I live closer to the Sydney Opera house than anyone else. Don't get too attached to the idea of this Scabe, but I could probably house you.

Although... it isn't for 4 months.

[Nova]

omg someone else loves Weapon Raid. <3

I like FFVI's world map theme the most of overworlds.
Also JENOVA's theme, the drums. <3

Probably love 8 and 9's soundtracks the most.

I wanna go to this now.

 

[M]

Someone tell me where their seats are so I know what I'm looking for when I book. =P

 

[luke_atyeo]

some of us from canberra have been planning this for a while, so you peeps should join us.
me and ted will be there.

also I'd make a list like that too but it would basically be every song.
if I had to pick one of the top of my head though right now it would be the ff8 boss theme

none of us have booked yet ricky.

if you want, when I get my tickets I'll buy yours too (I'm already getting teds)
so at the very least you'll be with us

 

[M]

edit: just realised the music performed won't go beyond FFXI. =/

 

[Scabe]

Totally updated with Rad's Image and the prices of the seats.

 

[CAOTIC]

M: really? i thought they were going to play song from FFXIII and FFXIV, based on one of the opfficial websites?

 

[luke_atyeo]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gO5nr2lCMuM

great song

 

[Scabe]

I can't decide to book seats with Canberra people or Smashers. I'll probably end up sitting alone. Meh.

 

[luke_atyeo]

me ted and ricky will be with the canberra people

 

[tedeth]

Heeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll yyyyyyyyyeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

This will **** kids harder than Charmeleon.

We should tell Hall about it. ;p

 

[toki]

Scabe, give me your ticket.

 

[Rad]

It could work!

 

[M]

M: really? i thought they were going to play song from FFXIII and FFXIV, based on one of the opfficial websites?

Oh wow, you're right. According to the program it seems we're actually getting the music from "Distant Worlds II", despite the unchanged name. =P

 

[Leisha]

Can I come too?

 

[EverAlert]

Would someone who's never played any FF games enjoy this? I am interested in going, but right now mostly for the hanging-out-with-smashers factor.

 

[M]

Dammit EA, just quickly play VI or VII already. lol

Even if you haven't played the games though, tis still amazing music.

Only FF game I've played was Dissidia. Music in that game was amazing.

 

[M]

wth, Bryte? I thought you said you used to do nothing but play RPGs every holiday. Sif there wasnt a single FF involved.

 

[EverAlert]

He plays Rune****.

And dw I'll try to at least play FF7 before this, kinda looking forward to it now. Anyone booked their seats yet?

 

[Scabe]

So most of the Canberra people that you know will be sitting at B

So book your seats around there!

 

[M]

Assuming Luke 2 and 3 are me and Ted?
