A new world-wide Final Fantasy concert tour has been announced called "Distant Worlds: music from FINAL FANTASY." The concert is going to be conducted by grammy award winning artist Arnie Roth, the same person who conducted "Dear Friends: music from FINAL FANTASY" in 2004 and 2005. Distant Worlds is meant to honor the 20th anniversary of the Final Fantasy series.

I am so happy to see all the concerts and orchestras being formed lately that are dedicated to video game music. I think it really speaks to how popular and socially accepted the genre is becoming. The future is definitely bright in the world of game music.
