ecentral.my: Distant Worlds conductor Arnie Roth explained that the Final Fantasy (FF) videogame series was a pioneer in using recorded orchestra and choir tracks within the game, and that a philharmonic hall was exactly where the music was meant to be played.
Yuji Naka was fined $1.2 million and given a suspended jail sentence for the crime.
I find his comments around how Balan turned out to be very insightful as to why the game is trash. He basically apologises for its existence
can you please give some of us who don't know anything about this, a summary of what happened?
Balan was knowingly rushed out by S-E, it had an extremely short dev cycle and was fairly low budget.
Naka was the game's director until near the end when he was fired or perhaps he quit, I forgot.
@Chocoburger Yeah they did fire and replace him which caused him to unload a bunch of rants about the company. The project only existed because of Naka in the first place, he convinced Square to give him one shot at making a platformer. They gave him an opportunity but pulled the rug out before he was done for reasons not explained.
The top producer of Square Enix flagship Dragon Quest franchise is stepping down from the role, following delays in developing the next installment of the popular series.
Please o please don't turn dragon quest into final fantasy square enix we dont wont that. Dragon quest works well just as it I. Plus you'll piss off Japanese fans to.
Hopefully they don’t. From this it doesn’t sound like that is the case and development is just taking too long.
Square Enix will be releasing three new manga titles later this year, all of which are available for pre-order now.
Dang... I saw the words "Final Fantasy comes to life via" Thought for a minute there it said *Vita*.
I would love to see more orchestrated or live concerts dedicated for video games. It's cool to see parents taking their children to these.
i went to the concert they had here at City Walk at the Gibson Amphitheater about 7 years ago... it was awesome... bought 3 tickets for me my bro and friend.... she never played a FF game and she loved the music.
They're doing it here in Adelaide of all places. I would go if it was in my state.
I was close to attending a Distant Worlds concert in London but the ticket was too damn high.
Maybe next year.
