About the video
- Filmed in June 2016.
- The video is approximately 23 minutes.
FINAL FANTASY is a fairy-tale world that has been thriving and evolving for nearly thirty years. In FINAL FANTASY VIII – from which the piece Mono No Aware comes – we meet the main character, quiet and withdrawn Squall Leonhart, a student in the Balamb Garden military academy. After becoming a member of Balamb Garden’s elite force, SeeD, he and his friends are drawn into an international conflict and must prevent the sorceress Edea from destroying the world.
Roger Wanamo is responsible for the arrangement; he also arranged the music for FINAL FANTASY VI, which is also available here on KonserthusetPlay.
