Had such a fantastic day on Friday! Even though i didn't win tickets to the morning event you guys still let me in and it was worth waiting for. Thank you so much! It was a day to remember finally meeting meeting Nobuo. I can't believe that some people didn't turn up to the morning event as so many more fans could have gone. The actual concert was amazing as expected and topped off an unforgettable day. <3

It was a fantastic event! Much better than I ever could have imagined! It was worth waking up at 4:40am and getting to the venue super early just to guarantee entry. Thanks so much for the epic goodie bags, the refreshments, setting up the chamber music performances and giving us the chance to meet the legends. It was really a top class event. I have written up a brief recap with some photos. Drop by sometime =D

Absolutely LOVED it! Was very incredible and amazing! Met someone very special at the meetup before the event too <3
+ ricochi - 05/11/2012 09:11
Great event! It really worthed to travel from Spain only for this... And Distant Worlds was simply MAGIC!! You have to come to SPAIN!! :)
+ Ultimadream - 04/11/2012 22:16
While I did not win I still had a fabulous time at the Distant Worlds concert, it was the first time I've ever been to any orchestral event and it is one I shall treasure for as long as I live. I'm already re-playing Final Fantasy VI due to the fantastic persentation of the 'Maria & Darco' Opera.

I did happen to notice a little Chocobo amongst the audience, fantastic job on the costume!
+ Nanaki316 - 04/11/2012 21:12
@Sephiroths_mum Your little chocobo was a beauty. I was lucky enough to get a picture of her :)
Was such a brilliant event, felt so lucky and honored to have been a part of it.

Met so many lovely people as well. You guys rock :) x
+ Sephiroths_mum - 04/11/2012 13:46
We had such a great time~!!! thank you so much for this event! (though we missed getting to meet Nobuo Uematsu, Masashi Hamauzu and Arnie Roth because my little chocobo got pulled aside for an interview! A little gutted but fortunately we got to meet briefly as we had VIP tickets to meet them in the evening.) The Chocobo had such a great time and loved that Arnie pointed her out right before they performed the chocobo piece, it made her feel really special. Huge thanks to everyone at Square who was involved in this special event and to Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth for their solos! that was something I was determined to see and before winning this event had bankrupted myself buying tickets to the Paris show!! I'd love to see them there but I couldn't afford the VIP again :(

Once again Thank you so much for this event!!
+ XISeraphireXIV - 02/11/2012 12:28
I made it in! Spectacular performance, great fan service and beautiful art work! :D
+ Chocobo_Sage - 01/11/2012 19:04
Looking Forward to this tomorrow, though I have to get up Waaaayyy to early to get into London for it. lol
Might sleep in the afternoon before the concert, think i'll need it! :)
+ Lightningsan - 31/10/2012 13:27
@CrossTrigger the competition has already ended and the emails have already been sent, so, if you haven't received one, you haven't won unfortunately.
@Ricochi All we know is that Dark World from FFVI will be played, there may be others but we don't know.
+ CrossTrigger - 31/10/2012 03:34
Entered a while ago has it ended not? not have not got my email yet :S
+ ricochi - 30/10/2012 15:28
So... nobody can tell me if this event is only a one song perfomance or not?

Thanks everybody! :)
+ Gilgamesh29 - 30/10/2012 09:17
Absolutely gutted not to win. Nevermind though. Please can Square-Enix make sure any late cancellations get re-distributed as I'd be there in a heartbeat!
+ Sephiroths_mum - 28/10/2012 01:04
thanks for the offer Riochi but I don't want to get anyone in trouble, (and nice one getting your GF to go, hope you both enjoy it). It'd be awesome if they could re-draw the tickets of anyone not able to go but I fear they will just let in on a first-come first-served basis, and with my kid to think about, she'd not want to hang around for hours in the hopes of getting a spot. - still I can hope and pray for a miracle.
+ neo_bahamut - 27/10/2012 23:29
Hey guys, did you know that it's been one year since Type-0 was released in Japan? Not to be a buzz-kill or anything but, since there are so many of us that care about that title, plus the fact that this is almost the only known way to contact this company, is there any way we can get any news on this game? Anything at all will be good. We're still waiting for it.
+ shadowgames - 27/10/2012 16:41
well i wrote to support about it so that it can be sorted out, it's just a shame that i am unable to attend it, but at least i can give someone else who wanted to go a chance to go
+ ricochi - 27/10/2012 14:19
Thats ok... but can we event give it for free?

Anyway, finally Im going with my GF so... everybody's happy :)
+ Lightningsan - 27/10/2012 14:06
To the users offering to sell their +1 or otherwise - I'm sorry, but if the community managers catch you, they will find out your emails and they will restrict you from being able to come to the event.. If you aren't able to attend, let them know so that it may be possible for someone else to go, but other than that it's a fan service event, selling them for money is against the terms and will most likely restrict you from any other future events/competitions.
+ ricochi - 27/10/2012 12:17
@Sephiroths_mum I have one spare ticket... My twitter is @ricochi... Please, contact me! :)
+ shadowgames - 27/10/2012 11:42
I am afraid i won't be able to attend it after all due to travel clashing on the day meaning by the time i get there it'll be too late :( would you be willing to take my name off the confirmation list and give it to someone else, please (i confirmed my attendence but like i sadi i will be unable to attend due to unforseen circumstances via train travel) it is Daniel Attwood
+ XISeraphireXIV - 27/10/2012 11:20
Admin response would be clearer, but the description I believe hints it may be a feature event for the morning, specifically noting Dark World. :) As the event is about 3 hours long, I'd be bold enough to say it'll be several pieces of music.
+ ricochi - 27/10/2012 11:10
Please, is REALLY IMPORTANT for me because I'm going to travel from Spain for it. Can somebody confirm me if is a COMPLETE concert or if it's only the performance of ONE song?

Thanks.
+ XISeraphireXIV - 27/10/2012 10:54
@Lightningsan Oh I do hope so! I'll be there bright and early for a chance if there are any no-shows! That's the one from the Crystal Edition XIII-2 yes? ^_^
+ Sephiroths_mum - 27/10/2012 00:09
hmmm now there's an idea. IS ANYONE WILLING TO SELL THEIR +1 TICKET PLEASE? absolute long shot but I'd need 3 for my family (my little girl was absolutely gutted, as was I) can settle for two if need be. can kick hubby to the curb for a bit - though he'd be pretty gutted Please let me know via Twitter if you can help #makemy littlechocobohappy
+ Antonio Marfuggi - 27/10/2012 09:23
Hey all, while we're really happy about the passion you're showing for this event, we have to remind you that those tickets are a gift from us to our fans, and not on sale.
+ Lightningsan - 26/10/2012 17:54
@XISeraphireXIV Yes, I believe there will be a similar format to last year's XII-2 event invites.
I shall be taking my 3d Lightning CE picture. :)
+ AmethystSword - 26/10/2012 17:41
Oh wells another year of not going :(

Congratulations to those who did :)
+ XISeraphireXIV - 26/10/2012 17:36
Didn't get the Email, :( but will there be an arrangement, to let first come in, if there are any no shows, similar to last years XIII-2 event? Also if anyone has a spare +1 I'd be more than happy to take some things for signing to the VIP after show for them. ^_^
+ Sephiroths_mum - 26/10/2012 13:14
I told the hubby about the sad news, he said "oh well, it's not the end of the world!"....he has all the best ideas!!! So as far as taking this disappointment with grace goes, I feel I should probably mention that I'm currently storing power to SUMMON METEOR!!! mwahahahahahaha #JenovaNeedsAngerManagement feel free to tweet me if my destroying the world is an issue for you k?
+ Talaya - 26/10/2012 06:08

i will meet Uematsu one day, he is a huge inspiration to me ... one day!
least im still gonna see him from a distance that night <3
+ Eros-Lanith - 26/10/2012 01:11
I would have loved to have gone to this. Sadly I didn't win, I don't have much luck with competitions T~T If anyone needs a +1 I'd gladly step in though XD I live pretty close to London!! <3
+ Chocobo_Sage - 26/10/2012 00:22
@Sephiroths_mum Haha, i'll say hi to Nobuo from you. I'll get a weird response I bet. ;)
Shame you didn't get an email though. :/
+ Sephiroths_mum - 25/10/2012 23:21

+ Sephiroths_mum - 25/10/2012 23:19

+ Chocobo_Sage - 25/10/2012 22:52
Just seen my Email, I'm going!!! Can't wait now, this great event in the morning and the concert later that evening!! It may just be the best day ever, now to invite someone and make their day. ;)
+ oubess - 25/10/2012 22:49
@Lightingsan I hope, but I told my parent I won it, and the looked at me with a funny face. I think I wont go to see that master piece.

Anyway, Thank you so much for all your help, Lightningsan! I hope you enjoy with this show :)

Sending you a big hug! :)
+ Lightningsan - 25/10/2012 22:39
@Oubess Anytime! If all goes well, hope to see you there!
+ oubess - 25/10/2012 22:38
@Lightningsan thank you so much! :)
+ Lightningsan - 25/10/2012 22:35
@Oubess, I got in touch with Ben, forward the email to secommunity@square-enix.com and they will re-issue the email to you. :)
+ Baequi - 25/10/2012 22:24
Where are the competition winners on facebook and twitter??
+ oubess - 25/10/2012 22:13
@Lightningsan I don't know what we can do. Also, I'm from Spain, so if I don't get some help, I'll lose that oportunity :(
+ Lightningsan - 25/10/2012 22:08
@Oubess I hope we get some help with this.. contacting SE is SO hard it's silly.
+ Antonio Marfuggi - 26/10/2012 15:35
Don't worry guys, help's on the way. Can you please check your mailbox?
+ shadowgames - 25/10/2012 22:08
just got the email :D i am excited XD
+ oubess - 25/10/2012 22:02
@Lightningsan, I have the same problem :S
+ dark_js - 25/10/2012 20:08
@baequi Heh... I know how you feel... seems to happen to me all the time too. Oh well, guess I don't have to get on a coach at 3am to get up to London now though, so it' not all bad news I guess. xD
+ Baequi - 25/10/2012 19:49
Im neva lucky enough to win any competition its always bad luck for me but neva mind eh... Maybe next time i guys well done to the winners
+ Baequi - 25/10/2012 19:47
I really wanted to go too i had my driver on standby waitin hehee but now since i aint won i guess its bad news for the both of us wahhhh
+ dark_js - 25/10/2012 19:37
Didn't Ben say he was gonna tweet & post a status before he contacted the winners though? There hasn't been any messages on twitter or facebook... Maybe he's just forgot.

Well I'm gutted if that's the case... I really wanted to go to the event... :'(
Congrats to everyone who won though! :)
+ Lightningsan - 25/10/2012 19:35
Hi, I'm having a bit of a problem, I was sent the email saying I had won (in the past hour) which was definitely from SE's email address, but the link that it asks me to go to is blank, it's just [LINK]. Any help if possible, Ben?
