Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 We went from this to This I guess on the upside, it IS a wonderful song about early morning routines. And you all thought the song in Lost Odyssey was pretty terrible. Quote
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted November 13, 2009 Author Posted November 13, 2009 Terrible, scary things. Terrible I say! Quote
JadeAuto Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 The original Japanese song sounds fitting for a Final Fantasy game. This is because over the last 15 years, Square* has accustomed us to hearing Japanese songs in their games, or at the very least, Japanese composed themes, which invariably have different melodic qualities than American composed themes. The R&B song, however, is totally Urban America in sound, and... ugh. I totally dislike this new direction. I give Square* credit for trying something new, and this may definitely give them a larger audience in certain circles - it's going to alienate many of their Core fans. I'm one of them. I haven't really been able to stand a Square* game since FFX. I suppose their style changed too much for my appreciation to follow. Quote

Red Omen Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 Should I sue for violation of intellectual property? something tells me i'm not the first person to draw an angry face on a red circle Quote
PriZm Posted November 13, 2009 Posted November 13, 2009 I don't really understand the big fuss... I don't know shit about Leona Lewis but I thought the song was OK. Quote

Arek the Absolute Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 oh no a western singer doing a song for a japanese game kill kill kill grow up Quote
The Derrit Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 clearly enough people thought it was a good idea for it to get passed, it wasn't like one person made the decision and everyone else in the entire goddamn company was like "what the FUCK was he thinking" Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 apparently it was done to reach out to the US/EU audience i dont see how the change will do anything to the game its really sad to see people so upset over nothing at all really really sad Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 oh no a western singer doing a song for a japanese game kill kill killgrow up I didn't realize we were having a serious discussion about the subject of Leona Lewis providing her singing talents. Well I've heard her music and for the most part she's alright. In fact this may very well be a good thing in terms of opening the franchise to a wider, (wider than the usual fans are), audience. If there's anything for me to be concerned, it will have to be whether this will delay the titles or not. I remember my preorder was set for late November, then amazon tells me to reset it for christmas/january, then amazon emails me again to say they will release in june/july of 2010. Is she possibly why or just the tip of the iceburg..? Quote
Red Omen Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 I think both songs are obnoxious. Anyone remember when Final Fantasy opening themes sounded like this? Or ? Quote
Arek the Absolute Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 before the merge of rpg and anime fans Quote
linkspast Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 .. Not like were going to be seeing the game anytime soon.. . Quote

IrateResearchers Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 before the merge of rpg and anime fans Hey, I happen to like anime and RPGs. I still hate when a song is replaced though just for crossing a border. Quote
Necrotic Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 Ah good memories...I kinda wish they would bring back the junction system. I like you, you know that. You're okay, kid. Quote

I mean you can dislike it and thrash it for being mainstream and all, but it's well-produced and the singing is OK. I guess we'll have to see if it fits well in the game... I'm sure if the original Japanese song was in English and sung by Celine Dion, many people here would be complaining about it. Quote
Schwaltzvald Posted November 14, 2009 Posted November 14, 2009 sung by Celine Dion Oh this is just too delicious of a bait. Though I'd rather see it dropped in somewhere else though. Quote
