Say what you will about the U.S. theme song that plays throughout this new FFXIII trailer, I couldn't be more excited about the next entry in this beloved franchise.



I am officially on a complete media blackout until March 9. 2010.

    Song ruined it for me. I am still looking forward for the game though.

    great trailer but the music is just awful, it kind of let the trailer down, a soundtrack with less vocals would of been better.

    That is the cheesiest fucking thing I have seen in a long long time. And I'm not only talking about the Leona Lewis song. Good lord. The voice acting, the dialogues, the melodrama, everything. I was just repeatedly cringing and wanting to turn it off.

    And this is coming from someone who absolutely loved FFVI, VII, IX and XII. I just can't get excited for XIII though. I barely even made it through this trailer.
    I think it's just me though, like my problem, I'm not shitting on the game since it seems a LOT of people got excited from this trailer.
    I must've changed or something because I really can't get excited for this stuff anymore.

    They should have lowered the vocals on the song when there was dialogue in the trailer it was some what hard to hear what they were hearing. I still don't really like the song though just didn't quite fit at all.

    This trailer puzzles me. Words cannot express how much I hate the theme song , and although I admit it does fit the game, I just can't stand over dramatic pop. However, this trailer managed to make me more excited for this game than every other bit of media on this game put together. Maybe it's the surprisingly excellent English voice acting, or the amazing (If a bit overdone), sense of drama, but really, I'm just grasping at straws. I have no idea why this trailer makes me so damn excited for this game, but it does, and I'm completely okay with that.

    The song, once again, is not made for the game. Just chosen from her album.

    Terrible.

    And i'm not digging the english dub either.. but whatever. I tolerated X.

    The song kinda fits this game. Either way the game will be great! I think this will be the most beautiful Final Fantasy yet. Can't wait! =D

    The voice acting itself seems great, but the dialogue and the story being told sound very bland and cliche. Sure is pretty, though.

    Yeah I've already lost all interest in this game gonna spend less money on a superior experience when the Dragon Age expansion comes out.

    it's bad when I forgot to turn off winamp, and it was playing "Linkin Park - Papercut."
    and I thought "Well what's wrong with that?" and then I paused it. rofl. It still certainly lives up to the final-fantasy-esque, and at least they're not heavily british accented (anymore) and it's overly detailed it makes me want to buy a ps3.

    I'd certainly rent it, but I don't know about buying it as a new release. >_>

    The voice acting is not good but not rly bad,only kinda bad
    well the music sucked
    but i'm sure there are options to switch eng subs on with jap voices like in recent games
    graphics are great
    the story is good
    battle system is like we all expect....awesome
    but srsly the music sucks Squeenix should've sticked to the original soundtrack

    After hearing how the game is, not really looking forward to this game as much as I was before.

    I heard it was extremely linear until around the 20-hour mark.

    My god, what is with Squeenix and their terrible female characters? Chirpy little fragile things with the most godawful moe voiceactors I've ever heard. Hell, most of the characters I've seen are just downright terrible. The pop music wasn't too bad, to be counter to everyone else.. it was just passable, is all. Though, the lyrics covered up a lot of what people were saying [a mixed blessing].

    Yeah, not excited for this.. two things that irk me the most: the insane delay between Japanese and English release, and the terrible characterizations.

    Seriously, Square and co., you're losing your act - even from the TRAILERS I can tell how bad these characters are.. what happened to the amnesiac half-esper, half-human girl? The silent and deadly assassin sell-sword with a heart of gold? The dark knight turned good in the face of unquestionable evil?

    As far as I can see, we're given.. a metro male resistance fighter, a bland female resistance fighter, the token, and only, black guy, an annoyingly perky girl with pink hair, a kid, a woman who sounds tougher than she acts.. these are almost Yu-Gi-Oh levels of bad in my eyes, what with everyone being near perfect.

    How could you even try and ignore the insane ammounts of reviews and complaints that it is one of the worst games in years?

    Let alone the fact that it makes the 1st xenosaga look like a joke in terms of "It's more like you're watching a movie then a game..."

    The music is terrible, makes it seem like a commercial on Lifetime.

    Probably be a good game though
