But can you take on TWO mounted chocobo riders? Farideh's got Diric's back in this.

Everybody loves chocobos!

The concert was last night. It was unbelievably awesome. They had the UBC opera singers out to accompany the VSO, and brought in guest soloists on almost every song. We had phenomenal seats for sound and view.

Most of the first half was songs from FF VIII through XI, games which I'm not as familiar with. But the second half featured more songs from FFIV through FFVII, including the opera scene from FFVI. They did a superb job on the opera, and for the second encore they did the Sephiroth theme from Advent Children and it was powerful.

Edit:

Part A of the Opera

We did meet an amenable dragon to use as a mount. Well, just a dragon to mount. Okay, we met a dragon. Perhaps if we go kill that man he talked about, he'll give you one of his offspring of Large size.

So the dragon's offspring are larger than the dragon we met? :P

The dragon was medium and we were scared? I need to pay attention better. It needed smiting.

A medium brass dragon puts it double our EL, potentially triple...

Here is the Sephiroth theme song.

Nice composition but, possibly because I just had a rough night at work, it really jangles my nerves.

Which? The opera or the last video?

The last one is firmly in the O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Carl Orf tradition that has been massively popularized by modern quasi-historical film scores. :D



It's a pity that this song gets all the glory, because the entire opera is really quite good. Modern composers had it pretty rough.

Edit: Google video doesn't work with flash command, and the youtube is the entire work. So if you've got an hour to spare, enjoy!
