Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of Final Fantasy, Distant Worlds, the world travelling Final Fantasy concert, gives us a new concert experience: The Celebration. In every possible way, this concert is superior to the first video release on DVD, Returning Home. Now on Blu-ray the picture is crisper, the music is fuller, add to that a newer and better song selection, fresher and exciting arrangements, and everything is better this time around. While the concert itself may be shorter, 120 minutes vs. the 151 minutes for Returning Home, it feels more like an experience. It's the next best thing to being there in person. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone who loves Final Fantasy, or anyone who is curious about how people can love game music so passionately.This Blu-ray has a booklet inside, mostly Japanese, containing track listings, pictures, singer, composer and performer profiles, a message from Nobuo Uematsu and the words to "Answers" and "Eyes on Me". The concert begins with a quick video history of dates and scenes of the Final Fantasy games as "Prelude" is played, and ends with more scenes as "Prologue" is played.Song List:1.
