Downloaded a video on xbox live about FF13 announcements etc, and came across this... im sure most people know who Leona lewis is, especially if you're from the uk, she won Xfactor a couple of years ago. Just wondered what peoples thoughts were on this. wat.

Edit: heres the song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdpeqSljUXM

yeah i deen that, i was like. huh....? Also the guy in that vid was the cheesiest presentator ever. lol I havent heard the song theyre using though so idk. I spose she's probably the british equivalent though as her songs are ballad types. It could work...maybe.
Also, the english voice actor for the kid with the white hair, sounds alot like frankie muniz..lol

Edit: ooh i jsut looked it up, its Vincent Martella! Hes the guy who plays chris's white best friend in everybody hates chris. I knew i recognised it somewhere!

Oh god :( I hate to be bandwagon hater but why does FF13 continue to look more and more "casual"? :( only FF I've ever not looked forward to really.

By "casual" I mean it seems to be trying to appeal to the whole GTA generation...

In fairness the gameplay looks amazing and i am excited, but im worried like ff9 for example, you go to load your save and hear that music which hits places deep in your brain where now we'll have leona lewis singing about hands?

I admit I haven't looked into the gameplay much... I just saw the summons => motorcycles and was like "........................."

And yeah, pop wtf :( I loved Crisis Core's music scheme, but that's because I like heavier music :(

I'm with Raen on this one. I'm way more excited for FF Gaiden than FFXIII.

You have got to be kidding me... This just ruins my hopes of having a "old fashioned" final fantasy game, I agree with ppl it's becomming way too mainstream.

Sure it might be a "good" game nice graphics etc but final fantasy for me was always about something exceptional, something "different" that really summarized what the rpg genre was all about.

I've heard Leona a lot, she has a powerful pop/r&b voice and while i'm not the biggest fan she can sing well, but I just can't see that going with a final fantasy RPG game...

Sugawara Sayuri is singing the Japanese version (her singles are okay), who is pop, so I'd imagine this would be pop as well.

This is a trend that started with FFVII. Also, we pretty much knew it was gonna be "mainstream"esque from day 1 of the screenshots.

The Music is what made FF, FF. I mean sometimes id just stop in an area/pause just to listen to the music.....

And tbh Leona Lewis sucks, i dont even agree with her being a good singer so talentless like all the x factor winners.

Maybe I'm oldschool or maybe I've just played FF11 too long. But it seems that these newer RPGs allow you to do ridiculously high damage for no reason. In the video above they show a scene where you are doing multi-hit attack for 20,000+ per hit. It just seems like they made the damage potential bigger and the monster's hp higher to serve some type of personal e-peen contest. I prefer the old 9999 maximum =/

I don't give a rat's *** about the music. I always have my iTunes playing anyway since my Japanese music always matches the fights oddly, lol, and turn the game music down.

Same here.
Like in that new Star Ocean or whatever: I saw my friend starting a new file and already hitting for like 1000s. I thought he was uber. Turned out the first boss had about a million HP. Remember when a million HP was generally the hardest boss in the game? Not the tutorial boss. c.c

Edit: And making the the item to "exceed 9999 damage" really hard to get. I miss that.

I couldn't agree more with this. Sometimes this whole pop sound can work for games, but I just don't see it fitting with everything I've seen from the trailers. It worked with Kindgom Hearts so I guess I'll have to see it meshed together first. How much HP is the Yiazmat of that game gonna have? 500,000,000?

every time you guys post stuff about ffxiii I think its ffxiv and start freaking out, like when you posted the release date for 13 I was like OMG NEED TO SELL MY CHARS, and then I listened to this shitty song before I realized 13 does not, without a doubt, equal 14

tl;dr hate you guys, stop posting anything besides ffxiv stuff

It's easier to keep track of damage when the numbers were about 3 digits long; 4 digits being bit-hit stuff.
With huge numbers flying everywhere, have no idea what works better or not.

No matter how high they make the numbers; the epeeners will just aim for higher, so why start us off with doing 100 damage on the first enemy of the game?

I heard this several days ago. People were wangsting that it wasnt their uber cool jpop. I wonder if the jp audience goes "uggh" when SE hires one of their popular artists?

Ive not heard a song by Leona Lewis but I do recognize her name which was a surprise to me. Im kinda happy to see them get a recognizable person but not be somebody who's in all the spot light.

This is SE you know....the SE who makes Kingdom Hearts and has deals with Disney...we could be listening to Hannah Montana.

I don't see what the big deal is...
It's just the entry song. Just press start/A/X/whatever and Load/New Game. Problem solved.

ffxi only has good music in about 2 zones and about 3 cutscenes, the rest of the time the notorious big is serenading me whilst I deal with the everyday struggle

I'm sure the same goes for all JP- notorious knows no cultural barriers.
