A few weeks ago, I attended the music event that I first learned about at the beginning of the year, and only recently got to go to one that was within convenient driving distance.
First off, I loved it and I hope more people go to them when the opportunity arises.
When I got there, the crowd had a lot of cosplayers. There was at least one of almost every NPC in attendance. I saw several people as Lewis, a handful as Emily, and a couple that apparently went as Lewis and Jas. (I didn't pry into that one...) There were merch sales and a chance to get pictures in front of the poster's background.
The concession munchies were tasty, but very financially inflated. As if ticket prices weren't already a bit pricey (although the latter is so worth it). Just a bottle of water costs between 5-10 bucks and there's no free refills. I'd still go for the water at least if I were you because it's important to stay hydrated at all times no matter the circumstances.
The performance itself: I'll try not to spoil too much, but let's say that remixing some of the more tears-of-joy-inducing songs like the overture and Grandpa's theme into compositions other than B Major was a smart move. Too many people, myself includes, would have started a small flood too soon! lol In addition to over a third of the full OST being included, there's a play-by-play of a full year's worth of activities from the game proper, including, but not limited to, most festivals, the desert, the mines, and even Ginger Island.
The conductor was a real ball of fun too. He even got the audience to participate a few times too. Even a few more surprises that, again, I won't spoil.
1,000,000,000,000,000/10, would go again, and hope they come to a closer town!
