Over nearly three decades of Final Fantasy video games, one of the things that has always stood out most has been the music. Popular songs from the franchise have been covered by fans in a wide variety of ways, and there have been games dedicated entirely to hitting notes in time with series music.
But the best way to hear these iconic songs it probably when they're played by a live orchestra. Thankfully, that will be possible for Dallas-Fort Worth area fans later this year when Distant Worlds: Music from Final Fantasy returns to the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center September 2-3.

The concert will be performed by the Dallas Symphony Orchestra in collaboration with Grammy-winning Arnie Roth, the University of Texas at Arlington a capella choir and vocalist Susan Calloway.
The music is paired with footage from the game that each song is from, so you can get a full burst of nostalgia when experiencing the memorable opera scene from Final Fantasy VI in a whole new way.
Music you can expect to hear includes:
- Final Fantasy VI: Opera 'Maria & Draco'
- Final Fantasy VII: Cosmo Canyon
- Final Fantasy VIII: Fisherman's Horizon
- Final Fantasy X: Zanarkand
- Final Fantasy XIV: Dragonsong
- Final Fantasy XIV: Answers
