Final Symphony is a concert and now even an album that features features music from the Final Fantasy series. This is recorded and performed by the world famous London Symphony Orchestra in Abbey Road, London. The Final Fantasy series is the first ever video game to have music recorded or performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Masashi Hamauzu, one of the composers for Final Fantasy X and the Final Fantasy XIII trilogy has also been involved, arranging the songs alongside Jonne Valtonen and Roger Wanamo, and the arranged works are based on compositions by him and Nobuo Uematsu, the composer of many Final Fantasy games, who acts as a consultant for the concerts and album.
You can read the full quote below of what Thomas Böcker, the producer said in response to doing a Kingdom Hearts-themed Final Symphony. Would you like to see a Kingdom Hearts-themed Final Symphony? Let us know in the comments below.

This will be a fan-art competition with the chance of winning a copy of the (English) Kingdom Hearts: The Novel. The competition is simple and clean: create a fan-art based on an event/scene in the first Kingdom Hearts game (like an illustration you’d find with the possible chapters in the novel), and it must be created specifically for this competition. Read on for more details.
How to enter:
Upload your fanart to KH13 (either to the Fan-made Images gallery, or by making a new topic somewhere), and then put a link to your fan-art in the comments below so that we can find it easily.
Fan-art must be related to Kingdom Hearts, it must be an event/scene from the first game and must be created specifically for the competition. You can enter multiple times.
At midnight EST on March 23rd, 2014, our team will deliberate and decide on our favourite fan-art submitted, contact the winner of the contest, and send them their copy! The contest is open to everyone as long as the novel can be shipped to their location via Amazon, etc.
Good luck to everyone! Even if you don't win, there is still a chance we will feature your fan-art on the KH13 Community Twitter and the KH13 Tumblr. Above all, have fun!
