Final Fantasy XIII

ya i would have really liked a CE, i mean the game is all that matters but some of the stuff that comes in CE are actually really cool, I found out in the ME2 CE, that Miranda was going to be a blonde, and they later changed her to a brunette, which is sweet, bc I prefer brunettes lol

But one more week is a good news.

The CE of FF 13 is only available in Europe.

Yeah I've got mine preordered, it comes back some art trade cards too.

It's not a shiny metal box though Erel, mine just comes with the big cardboard box O.o

That's whats in it.

Just saw the advert of TV, it seems like Leona Lewis has wrote the theme. I would have preffered Rammstein instead or Ozzy (if he would be willing) but I suppose its ok if you like Leona.

All in all I'm getting this game as soon as I can (but first I want to get a new PS3 for myself (current ones my dads))

Speaking of Leona Lewis, have you seen her commercial for FF13?

It's such a fail. It's so obvious she's never touched a controller in her life.

Just watched it, and I agree. I mean she sounds like she's reading a script. But surely Square could have found a better celeb to do the soundtrack (having said that the song is, meh....its not crap but they could have chosen something better (still its not my type of music so maybe I'm being biased))

sorry but u are being biased, plus most of the ff game's either have pop music or orchestral music in it, so in retrospec it does fit the game

Otherworld did fit that sceen though, sports game gots to have rocky music to it lol. aaah i have that song downloaded..such an awesome song lol

i agree i think it fits, I cant see ozzy in a ff game, honestly i think it would suck, you cant even understand him anymore

SHAROOOOONNNN!!!! Couldn't resist.

I think all the FF songs are pretty awesome, Eyes on Me is perfect for calming you down and Melodies of Life is a great song altogether...Otherworld is my travel music, always listen to it in the car.

I just wrote Ozzy as I'm a bit of a fan

However I'm not completly dismissing XIII's theme, when I get the game and see the scene it plays to I will most likely love it.

Having said that though a part of me can imagine Bowie doing a good song for a FF game.

Did someone mention Bowie?!

Yeah, but he's Glam rock, his style of music wouldn't really fit an RPG to be honest.

Leona Lewis...O.o WTF? I can be biased to this as she's crap none stop. Why choose her? They could have chosen someone else. They usually have J-Pop singers do theme's it's going to be really different to have her do a song.

Lol, she must have gotten a lot to just sit there and smile while she just held the controller. It's probably not her playing anyway.

I like to think music is universal, if its been written with the plot and world in mind then it could be perfect, and I'm certain Bowie can write something. However though this is my opinion

Honestly this is my thoughts, if this son was sung by a J-pop singer you all would love it..just being biased by the singer and not the lyrics and if the music fits the game...kinda sad for so called ff fans...yea low blow there but it pisses me off

What the heck is J-pop?

And I'm not fully kicking the music yet, once I see the cinematic that goes with the song I then have the right to judge

J-pop is Japanese Pop

and it was in general, been reading from everyone on most sites i am part of, have been negatively critizing the song because of the ARTIST.

honestly i have to agree with you on that one.

Who's Leona Lewis? That'd be the first time Square hired an American to sing the songs...

Personally, if they wanted a good J-Pop singer, I'd lean towards hyde or GACKT.

Was gonna said Hyde myself lol...

and Leona Lewis isn't american she's british

FFL's Quote of the Year

Uematsu gave FF its magic. FF12 sounded so lazy and poorly constructed and from what I've heard from FF13's soundtrack, yawn hiss bore.

I could care less if Leona Lewis made the lead song it's just that it's a lame song. FF13 has really appealed to the generic anime audience this time, even more so than others in the series, which is one of the main reasons I'm not liking anything about it so far. I may actually rent the game because my roommate has a 360 so I can give a full input. Snow has appealed to me a little more as I love Monk class characters and him punching robot dragons in the face is hilarious while his comrades are using guns and shit.
