The program will also reach across the broader series with selections such as “One-Winged Angel” (Final Fantasy VII), “Love Grows” (Final Fantasy VIII), “Roses of May” (Final Fantasy IX), “Cosmo Canyon – Sanctum of Planetology” (Final Fantasy VII Rebirth), “The Final Day” (Final Fantasy XIV), and “Ascension” (Final Fantasy XVI).

Fans will also be treated to an HD video created by Square Enix.

Tickets are available beginning February 24 at 10am PT, including a special VIP Meet & Greet (limited to 75 tickets) which will include premium seating for the concert, post-show access to a Meet & Greet with conductor Arnie Roth and vocalist RIKKI, featuring both an autograph and photo opportunity.
