Leona Lewis =/= epic theme song.

EDIT: I mean... Leona Lewis has a good voice, but can I just get the game all in Japanese and have English for the subs and text? That would be great.

This isn't Final Fantasy. I mean, there was NO need to localize the theme song. Kimi ga iru kara plays in recently released English trailer...I'm in love with that song.

The English voices aren't that bad from what I heard so far, but this theme song may have just turned me off from the English version. My Japanese isn't the best, but you better believe I'll be importing now.

Just need to remember my god damn...kanji again. >_<

God...keep messing up FF more and more Square. Should've had Utada make a song or something.

Now I actually like the English song but I still think Kimi Ga Iru Kara is a better fit for the game and the series. I still remember Suteki da ne from FFX vividly, yet I can't recall the ending theme of FFXII at all. For some reason Japanese music sticks to me more than English ones in FF. I'm just wondering how difficult it is for Square Enix to throw another mp3 file onto the disc.

Why the hell is there a English song in the US version?

That makes no sense. The only reason a English song should be there is if they did what they did with Kingdom Hearts and have someone do both the Japanese and English song exactly the same just in different languages. They did it TWICE in Kingdom hearts with the help of Utada Hikaru and Namco Bandai did it in Tales of Vesperia with the help of Bonnie Pink. Both times the song sounds exactly the same but just is sung in a different language.

This is really stupid. It's a waste of money on SE's part because NO ONE buying the game wants a English theme song like this.

ABizzel1 - 27 days 15 hours ago

I agree this doesn't go with Final Fantasy only, because FF is full of mediocre singers with a decent voice, and Leon has power, emotion, and soul to her voice.

In other words she's too good to sing this song.

RememberThe357 - 27 days 14 hours ago

I got nothing but love for her music, but it doesn't really sound like FF at all.

But you never know; Square is really good at the whole cinematic thing, so they will probably integrate it well. I can't wait for this game.

Dragun619 - 27 days 11 hours ago

Wow pretty disappointed here, Expecting something more classical rather than a pop song. Don't get me wrong here, its an alright song but it doesn't feel like it belongs to Final Fantasy 13.

SE should have went with the more Classical song like Final Fantasy Versus XIII theme song which gives the Final Fantasy Vibe. I mean come on, the Classical music is what really draws me in every Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy Versus XIII - "Somnus" by Yoko Shimomura

or FF Versus XIII Epic trailer song! Which is totally F Awesome

>I never heard of Leona Lewis before.

Lucky you.

Basically she's an overrated talent show winner (think American Idol). She had one average song which stayed at Number 1 in the UK for over 8 weeks and everyone got fed up with.

Leona Lewis is the only reason why a talent show should exist. Her live vocal ability is on par with Whitney and Mariah

Did i mention the jimmy page is a fan

She was actually Britain's show X-factor. BUT anyways, I don't care what anyone says's, she is an amazing talent, and i'm glad that she is featured in this game :)

Baka-akaB - 27 days 17 hours ago

She is definitely a talent , but what matter is what she sings with it ... and so far while it set the charts ablaze , it's nothing that shattering .

Guess i'll do what i planned anyway , and just import instead of hoping square decides to announces subs for the ps3 version

The song is good but has nothing to do with final fantasy- not written for it and doesn't really fit if only they got her to sing a written song for the game or an English version of the jp theme.

FF theme songs have never been great, but I think this is what disappoints me most. I like the song to match the game, not just be a loose licensed one.

My heart was swimming
in words gathered by the wind.
My voice bounded
into a cloud-carried tomorrow.

My heart trembled
in the moon-swayed mirror.
Soft tears,
spilled with a stream of stars.

Isn't it beautiful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
to your town, your home, in your arms.

I dream of being
against your chest,
my body in your keeping
disappearing into the evening.

Words halted by wind are
a gentle illusion.
A tomorrow torn by clouds is
the voice of a distant place.

My heart that had been
in a moon-blurred mirror that flowed,
Those stars that trembled and spilled
cannot hide my tears.

Isn't it beautiful?
If we could walk, hand in hand,
I'd want to go
to your town, your home, in your arms.

My dream of your face,
that I softly touch,
melts in the morning.

/end

This song even had lyrics that complemented the game.

that would be because FFX-2 wasnt any good . And because japanese music , and more specifically FF music was always better than what was shown in X-2 . FF dont usually have such crappy pop songs

Yup, terrible choice for FF theme song. It's a good song though.
I just realized all the theme songs from all previous FF were sung by female singers.

I totally agree with you man. The song just doesn't suit the feel of the game. The least they could have done was hire a singer to write a theme song which is actually about the game.
