Final Fantasy XIII's theme song is by....LEONA LEWIS?!?!

[Tom4784]

I was quite shocked, they ussually just badly translate Japanese songs for the english version. They must be really pulling out all the stops to pay for a Leona Lewis track.

Oh and that release date is the 9th of March I think since America sets it's date differently. So 9th march not 3rd September.

[Stu]

Great. More knives in the back of this once great series. All Eyes On Me was torture enough. No vocal tracks needed in FF IMO.

X-2 *shudders*.

[Tom4784]

I dunno I think this could be one of the best FF games yet, the first FF game of a new platform always tends to be quite special.

NES: FF1
SNES: FF4
PS1: FF7
PS2: FF10

[Stu]

Always found X far too linear and I prefer the old style games but I can see how people would like it.

But I completely lost interest with XII. Maybe I am just stubborn but to me Final Fantasy will always be about world maps and random battles.

[Tom4784]

I never played FFXII but I know with this one they've gone back to the old style again, It's turn based and such this time.

[Tom4784]

Here's the song in question.

Hmmmm.

[Novo]

Good song

but not for Final fantasy

final fantasy is above leona lewis....

[Tom4784]

It's better then an awkward translation but I just can't see it fitting...but then again we don't know what context it's used in or anything about the scene and such. I'll be interested to see if it fits in well.

[Tom4784]

The fan reaction hasn't been good at all but at the end of the day it's only gonna play twice at most in a 50+ hour game so it doesn't really bother me.

The song's grown like mad on me though.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Wtf, Leonas above Final Fantasy..

[Novo]

Wtf, Leonas above Final Fantasy..

Don't be silly

Final Fantasy is just Epic

Leona lewis is some silly bint

[MeMyselfAndI]

Don't be silly

Final Fantasy is just Epic

Leona lewis is some silly bint

Final Fantasy is a geeky game, Leona is a popstar<3

[Novo]

Final Fantasy is a geeky game, Leona is a popstar<3

Final fantasy has sold more then leona

utter fact.!

[Enid]

Final Fantasy is a geeky game, Leona is a popstar<3
Geeky game? Are you a gamer at all? Probably not.

Final Fantasy is above you.

[Tom4784]

Final Fantasy is a geeky game, Leona is a popstar<3

'Geeky Game?'

Are you an american teenager? Games are rapidly becoming as important in the media industry as films and TV. The fact that Leona Lewis is doing the song just shows how much gaming is becoming accepted as a media industry.

Look at Prince of Persia, it's based of a game yet Disney expect it to be as big as Pirates of the Caribbean. Celebrities have been lending their voices to games for years.

So yeah, get with the times and drop the cheesy 90's catchphrases.

[MeMyselfAndI]

Final fantasy has sold more then leona

utter fact.!

Leonas "Spirit" Album of the year <3.. Most sold Debut Album EVER <3.. Wooh! Better than Olly will EVER do:dance:

[MeMyselfAndI]

Leona > Final Fantacy > Olly

[Novo]

olly has nothing to do with this

Final fantasy > Leona lewis

85 million > 6.5 million

[MeMyselfAndI]

olly has nothing to do with this

Final fantasy > Leona lewis

85 million > 6.5 million

Final Fantasy has been out for like 20 years.. Leona's been in the music Business for under 3 years?.. 85 million:joker: Sure.:joker:

[Novo]

More then 85 Million Now

That was from early this year

[MeMyselfAndI]

Games are'nt that popular, my brother has a playstation. But theres not even 85 million people in Europe...

So 90 year olds must play it aswell..

[Novo]

There is a lot more then 85 Million people in Europe

LOL!!!!

[Novo]

85 Million Copies Worldwide (http://www.psu.com/Final-Fantasy-series-has-sold-85-million-copies-globally--a0007021-p0.php)

[Damaris]

Andy just owned you.

Final Fantasy is the best game ever and leona is shite. k?

[Scarlett.]

Theres 61 million in the UK...so that would mean, by your logic there is only 24 million in the rest of Europe

I have kinda bored of FF after the failure that was XII, I'm hoping the fighting style is better in this one

[Tom4784]

Oh Mr Generic Username, you know nothing of the industry so don't spew out random sh*t as fact. The two biggest ever launches in ALL media industries EVER have been games (Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Halo 3). Games are rapidly becoming as big an industry as film Television and music.

IF Leona Lewis is still relevant in 20 years time I can guarantee that she will not have sold a third as much as FF have in the same time period.

Millions of households around the world have at least one current generation console and We're only 4 years into a 10 year life span. I'm not even gonna HAVE go into Nintendo as it'll do nothing but blitz this baseless argument you have even more.

[Hugo]

um, Leona>Final Fantasy.
some azn video game, not qt.

[Scarlett.]

Since when did this become a contest?

The games industry has more turn over profit these days than the music industry.

Yes, not only did I just own you on the basis of Series Vs. Artist, but on the entire global scale of Industry Vs. Industry.

Run along now.

Plus even some of the biggest artists would struggle to sell 85 million albums in 20 years ,not even considering the fact that the Game industry is a very new Media industry.

Be glad that Leona is going to be heard worldwide :3

No, just that games are more profitable then the music industry.

[Stu]

I always like it when people do that what there thingy where the answer is in the question.

[Hugo]

Try to construct your sentences better in future, sweetie. I don't have a clue what you're trying to say.

[Ross]

Haha. (laughing at Hugo, not the fact Leona is singing the theme)

[Stu]

http://i50.tinypic.com/a42y3s.gif
I applaud you for dutifully missing the point, that of intentionally posting in common verbatim.

Perhaps you would like to explain to us what your original statement meant, then?

[Ross]

-waits-

good going Stu! I feel like I'm watching Mastermind

[Stu]

Visible spectators!

Why cant we have more people like you.

[Ross]

Oh am always watching, babe.

I am ALWAYS wathching.

[Scarlett.]

*is sitting with Ross, sharing popcorn*

[Stu]

I wouldn't share your popcorn with Ross...

[Ross]

*is sitting with Ross, sharing popcorn*

Nice of you to join me, Chewbacca. Care for some of my hotdog? ;)

[Scarlett.]

Of course! :) and why Stu? D:

[Tom4784]

Nice of you to join me, Chewbacca. Care for some of my hotdog? ;)

*sits down*

Hey guys, It's a bit overcooked Ross....

[Stu]

**** me, it's a crowd! Better get up your Stu 3:16 banners. Remember, the seat next to Ross has a hole in the base of the chair.

Don't ask questions.

[Ross]

It's already occupied, Stu.

http://i25.tinypic.com/i292s6.jpg

[Scarlett.]

Oh **** 0_0

*feels bottom of chair*

[Ross]

Oh **** 0_0

*feels bottom of chair*

I'm already in. I'm ****ing in!! Yes! Yes! Yes!

[Stu]

I have it in my head that Hugo is busy in an underground library somewhere surrounded by discarded sheets of paper trying to pen a suitably eloquent reasoning behind the statement ''mygawd. video games are the music''.

I just know I am going to be disappointed :bawling:.

[Ross]

Take me Chewy, take meeeeeee!

[Scarlett.]

I'm already in. I'm ****ing in!! Yes! Yes! Yes!
:bawling:

[Hugo]

oh yah, I was just saying that a asian game played group of nerds is hardly gonna take over music. baha/

[Scarlett.]

oh yah, I was just saying that an asian game played group of nerds is hardly gonna take over music. baha/
Pretty much gaurenteed to do that next March, kthnxbai!

[Stu]

oh yah, I was just saying that an asian game played group of nerds is hardly gonna take over music. baha/
Somehow the phrases 'group of Asian nerds' and '85 million+ sales' just don't seem to co-exist. Never mind the fact that nobody was suggesting that Final Fantasy is taking over music. Or games at all. But the music industry is making less money than the video game industry. Then again, I really have no idea what you are saying. Sentence structure and all that.

Oh Stu, you know you understand me.

[Ross]

Hugo, right about now would be a good time for this;

"Well, I'm leaving with my class and dignity intact. Bye now.

http://i35.tinypic.com/2a9po9v.jpg"





...if you had any class and dignity that is.

http://i35.tinypic.com/t86a3d.gif

Joke.

[Hugo]

Oh Stu, don't you have some lice to comb out your hair or something? Seriously honey, not cute.

http://i50.tinypic.com/2v1aupu.gif

I reccomend a deep conditioner.

[Stu]

Oh Stu, don't you have some lice to comb out your hair or something? Seriously honey, not cute.
Ouch. You failed this level. Want to continue? Insert coins up my ass.

I am going off to bed now for a quick wank followed by a sleep. I will deal with all subsequent wankarsery in the morning.

[Scarlett.]

What a great intelligent comeback Hugo, filled with facts and figures on how you are correct

[Hugo]

Chewy stop trying to get involved. Not a good look on you.
Go home, honey.

Why must some people use gifs to exaggerate their point? Hugo has nothing of interest or worth to say so he fills his posts with random images. Nice.

Ignorance is your new best friend.

I've never played these games but I always watch my brother play them. =) I like the storylines

[Scarlett.]

FF games always have great storylines :3

[LemonJam]

I'm well excited. If I get a 360 for Christmas that is :)
