G4 airing Uematsu/Dear Friends special next week
- Thread starter Vibri
- Start date
I'm gonna go with either of those, whichever one has the better deal. I'm tired of the monopoly of TWC. I don't need to have cable to get roadrunner though, do I?

If someone captures this, send me a torrent! Apparently I'm all the hell over it.

G4 does have some cool stuff on it every now and then. Just wish there was more of it.

Actually at the show there were displays that played some of the cutscenes during various tracks. Neat thing to see in motion.

Got it marked down on the calendar. Wouldn't it be cool if they released a DVD of this, maybe with Advent Children? But I doubt that'll happen.
The article makes it pretty clear:
"Be sure to catch next weeks Cinematech (Tues 7:30PM PST / 10:30PM EST) which features the best of Final Fantasy music, as chosen by Nobuo Uematsu himself before the concert."
"Each track is cut to appropriate images from Final Fantasy, and preceded by commentary from Uematsu. Youll also be able to catch some exclusive footage of the Dear Friends concert which took place at Disney Hall."
It's not the concert, it's something else - Uematsu's choosing his favorite music from FF and introing each track. If you've watched Cinematech you'll know what that is. Though it sounds like there's some Dear Friends footage mixed in.

Yeah well they dont carry it in NYC or the 5 boroughs. I already called their customer service Dept. They said that when G4 and TTV merged, TTV ceased to exist and they had no obligation to carry them anymore. However, it seems that the TWC in like Rochester NY carries G4/TTV, so who knows

WELL LET'S SEE NOW.
They opened with a massive fuckup. Uematsu was supposed to provide a brief introduction to each piece. So they started off with his favorite piece, which he said was "Final Fantasy." So of course they went ahead and played the wrong piece (Prelude).
Why the use of 'Final Fantasy III' instead of the correct number? I thought we were over the SNES confusion days.
They ended up playing Fithos *twice* - one set to FFVIII footage, then once again as the only snippet from the concert.
The concert footage, shot by Square Enix, looked like pure ass. Stretched out, washed out, kept cutting to random shots, etc.

They showed Liberi Fatali from the concert at the end. That's it. The rest was music from the games with cutscenes. I'm pissed. I figured G4TTV would have something worth watching for once. Fucking jerks.

Squeenix's inhouse footage is the only footage that exists. And it apparently looks like shit.Dave Long said:

By the way, I don't know if anybody else taped the show - but going by the fact that G4 hasn't aired anything besides this standard footage (and the fact that Squeenix is so protective of their assets), I doubt it.

Can G4 suck any worse after this? I think not.
From what I've seen of Cinematech, it's the most utterly hacked show ever conceived, from the shots making no sense to the music being cut and snipped for some weird reason or another. Shit the opening video with the FFVII scenes cut back to the ending quarter of the song right as it was ending, then cut off the end. Are these people that talentless? Better fan music videos come out online on a regular basis.
Keep in mind my standards aren't incredibly high here, I would just think a show making it on national TV would have some sense of quality to it.
