Hnnnng, that sounds so great. Wish I'd known about it, because dammit I'm in Vermont and I could have gone.... /alas.
It's good that the concerts are inclusive of both the old and new FF games. Good music is good music, whenever it is from. From 1 to 14 and everything in-between, Final Fantasy has had so many great pieces. Good ol' Uematsu... ffffs, the 'stache, too. True video game composers have great moustaches!
But, hrng. I understand that it stings to see series newbies laughing at the older games, but that's the way the world goes. Hopefully someday they'll be less superficial about the factors they judge a game based on, but you have to remember age is a big part of this. I didn't play any FF games until I was 13, because that's when I got my first game console, a PS1. This was in 2004. Previously, all I knew of the games were FFX and Kingdom Hearts! Final Fantasy VII may have graphically been a step down, but I still enjoyed it, and ultimately preferred it to X and KH. And from then on I had to gradually work through the games that came out when I was too young to play them or even know about them- and the games that came out before I was born. Many of these people would have been in the same boat, or even younger. Sure, them laughing was rude, but someday they're going to grow out of it. They might not see FFVI as the epitome of amazing JRPGs, but they'll at least stop judging it because it's got pixellated graphics. Just give it time.
Aaaaanyway, sorry about that. Kind of went out of control there. The point is that the concert sounded awesome. Sucks to hear about your car, though...
