Final Fantasy VII Concert Debuts in the U.S.

U.S. fans have been treated to a handful of video game concerts over the years, but none quite like this one.

For the first time in the region Final Fantasy VII is getting its own concert, which will mark 22 years since the fan-favorite RPG’s initial launch.

The concert is called FINAL FANTASY VII – A Symphonic Reunion, and it all goes down right before this year’s E3 on June 9 at LA’s Dolby Theater.

Wild Faery Company is producing the concert, which will have more than 100 musicians performing while a massive HD monitor showcases some of the most memorable moments from the game. Those interested in seeing it for themselves will be able to purchase tickets for an appropriate starting price of $77.77 beginning on Saturday, April 20.

This year mega-hit video game Metal Gear Solid (over 50 million games sold worldwide) turns 30 and the big anniversary will be celebrated on August 2nd with a stylish concert at Tokyo International Forum Hall A.

The Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra will play the saga's iconic music while huge screens will show some of the game's famous scenes.

And last but not least, voice actress and anime singer Donna Burke, whom I've had the pleasure to interview twice, will sing some of the songs.  

The Japanese concert will be followed by a World Tour.
