Distant Worlds To Collide With Japan in November

We had a blast at the Distant Worlds record release party last night. While we were able to ask Uematsu a few questions about some of his projects, the answers we got weren’t at all satisfying, but at least Arnie Roth had a bit of news for us. Apparently Distant Worlds is making its way to Japan in November 6th and 7th. This is a big deal not only because this is a US-based Final Fantasy production making its way to Japan, but also because it’s been quite some time since Japan has seen a Final Fantasy-centric performance like this.

While more details are surely to be announced soon, Arnie Roth noted that there would be some new material included from Final Fantasy XIV. I can’t imagine fans in Japan won’t respond positively to this show with Uematsu directly behind it, and after VGL’s stop in Japan last year, it’s cool to see Distant Worlds getting the same opportunity.

Have you been to a Distant Worlds performance and have your own impressions? Does the show stand up to events like Tour de Japon and Voices which have hit Japan in the past?
