Merregnon Studios’ newest concert Final Symphony II features music from Final Fantasy V, VIII, IX, and XIII. This report is about its sixth performance, which took place in Tampere, Finland on April 1, 2016.
So what exactly did the Merregnon team do again?
- Another Final Fantasy concert. Final Symphony was their first FF-only concert, and now Final Symphony II is their second.
- Another mid-concert surprise encore that premiered in Finland.They did it with Suteki da Ne in the first Final Symphony and now here with You’re Not Alone.
- Another four-20-minute-arrangements concert. They did it with Symphonic Fantasies, which is wildly popular, and now for the second time here.
In short, they took the best parts of game music (Final Fantasy), overdelivery of value (surprise mid-concert encore) and concert structure (four 20-minute arrangements).
