Dear Friends
Who else went? Who sat ten feet away from Nobuo? Me. That man loves every minute of his life, no doubt about it.
Best concert ever.
There was a horrible Sephiroth cosplayer. really good Fujin and Lulu cosplayers. Even for a symphony.
Now if you'll excuse me, i've gotta get back to playing FFIV.

To all who cosplayed at Dear Friends:
Why are you bastards cosplaying to a symphany?! It's the freakin' symphony! Do you know what that means?! It means this is a place were respectable men & women go to listen to beautiful music, not to look at your goofy ass in yellow lederhosen! Have you no respect?! No dignity?! Please, by all means, wear your love of Final Fantasy on your sleeve, for it is the only reason your life has any meaning whatsoever! "OMG DUDE I HOPE NOBUO NOTICES ME, I SPENT 732T239847 HOURS ON THIS SQUALL OUTFIT". Please, next time you go to a concert, have some respect for yourself and others, and wear a FREAKING SUIT!
*breathes*
Sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.
Anyways, I'm glad you had a good time and that it was a good concert. It's too bad I coulden't go, but, as you can see from my rant above, it was probably a good thing I diden't.
Signatures sure are awesome.
Re: Dear Friends
If you think the cosplay is a bad thing, think about how bad it was when the audience wouldn't stop clapping and screaming when Nobuo wanted to talk... or right in the middle of a song... >>;Ebola Gay wrote:This is when I realize than humanity is doomed.SirPhobos wrote:There was a horrible Sephiroth cosplayer. really good Fujin and Lulu cosplayers.

It didn't -ruin- the concert, it was just a bit annoying.

I can sorta understand cosplay, being rational human beings is not the calling card of many gamers. But screaming/clapping while the music is being performed... That's not just a lack of any sort of respect to the musicians or Nobou, that's flipping off music itself. Yeah, it's definately a good thing I didn't go. I would have either:
1. Flipped out and kicked someone in the face.
2. Cried/been horribly depressed.
As for not ruining the concert, I beg to differ. I mean, maybe I'm just imagining it wrong, but if I'm sitting in a symphony, listening to beautiful music, the last thing I want to hear is people screaming how they want to have Nobou's child. I feel heartfelt sorry for anybody who played those pieces, for if I was down there, I would have the stongest urge to just walk out and call it quits.
Signatures sure are awesome.

Yeah I went to the concert over the weekend. Nothing pissed me off more than listening to a huge crowd of Japanophiles scream and clap during the once-in-a-lifetime performance I paid a lot of money for. But of course, asking socially-awkward people to behave normally and respectfully or at the very least dress in something other than a HIM t-shirt and black cargo shorts with twenty chains hanging and clinking off of them at a formal event would probably have been too much to ask. Oh, and dressing as a white mage to an orchestra concert is even worse, just because they play music from a video game doesn't mean the event can be treated like some anime convention.
Despite the crowd clapping during such segments as the "OMG Vivi is on the big screen while the old guy plays his guitar solo he worked his off for hurr hurr hurr" and "LOLOLOL Chocobo Theme!!!!" scenes, I genuinely enjoyed the music. I thought that Love Grows, Dear Friends, Theme of Love, and One-Winged Angel in particular were well done.
Here are the few pictures I was able to sneak in without the theater's camera gestapo throwing a fit:
The theater's emblem.
This is where my friends and I sat, the cheapest seats in the house!
The very well done $20 program.
And finally, a blurry picture of the way you're supposed to dress at a formal event, except without having your belt not on all the way.
