Next up is “Flow.” I don’t think there’s a Warrior of Light whose heart doesn’t quiver when they hear original FINAL FANTASY XIV vocalist Amanda Achen, as Hydaelyn, sing of her “brave little sparks.” Sing with me once more…share of your light…. Oh, don’t mind that, that’s just some dust in our eyes…. We’ll let this one speak for itself.

KOJI FOX will help us celebrate FINAL FANTASY XIV & XVI in Los Angeles (1/24/25) and Chicago (1/26/25)! Koji Fox has worked with composers Nobuo Uematsu and Masayoshi Soken on FINAL FANTASY XIV since its inception in 2010 and all of its expansions including 2024's FINAL FANTASY XIV: DAWNTRAIL. He wrote the lyrics for many of the most-known songs from the series including "Answers," "Dragonsong," "Shadowbringers," "Triumph," and many others. He is also the lead vocalist for THE PRIMALS, the official FINAL FANTASY XIV band led by Masayoshi Soken, who has given electrifying performances on multiple continents. Koji Fox was also an essential part of the FINAL FANTASY XVI development team and contributed lyrics to many of the game's songs including "My Star," which composer Masayoshi Soken called the one that gave him the most "deep feelings." Koji Fox will be at our VIP meet & greet along with conductor Arnie Roth, original FINAL FANTASY X vocalist RIKKI, and original FINAL FANTASY XIV & XVI vocalist Amanda Achen!

PRESS R3 + L3 TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH! Raise thy lantern, pioneer, and delve deeper into Masayoshi Soken’s “Find the Flame” from FINAL FANTASY XVI! The primal energy of this track truly encapsulates its themes of revenge, struggle, and awakening. We’re particularly happy with the way the woodwinds pop out in this rendition.

One thing we love about Masayoshi Soken’s music is his ability to still surprise us after all these years. FINAL FANTASY XVI's “Ascension” is a masterpiece in the way it seamlessly blends its Baroque aesthetic with its modern orchestration and sound design. Nothing but the best for Bahamut, the Eikon of Light!

Does vocalist Amanda Achen, composer Masayoshi Soken, and lyricist Koji Fox sound like a dream team to you? Because “My Star” is so dreamy! It was a great honor for us to record the first orchestral version of this torch-burning tune! Is that a sky of scattered tears or did something just get caught in our eye again?

Distant Worlds VII closes with “Aerith’s Theme - Return to the Planet Medley” from FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH. Composed by Nobuo Uematsu, “Aerith’s Theme” is one of the most emotionally resonant themes in the entire series. It features a profoundly moving melody, sung beautifully here by the Distant Worlds Philharmonic Choir, and created in a way that feels both comforting and bittersweet, as befitting the last of the Cetra (no spoilers here!).
