Default Final Fantasy XIII's theme song is by....LEONA LEWIS?!?!
http://uk.xbox360.ign.com/dor/object...eo_111209.html

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.

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*.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Geeky game? Are you a gamer at all? Probably not.

Final Fantasy is above you.

'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.

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
