I hate that comparison, personally. Maybe cause I hate Gackt and I love Squall.

So yeah, I haven't heard it. :D And I will avoid hearing it until I am forced to listen to it as I play the game.

Did you know Gackt actually is a character in the game too ?

That was scary, that was the last song I just listened to. Today I went through a frenzy of downloading more Gackt songs...he is so sexy...

I still do not get the whole Gackt/Squall thing. They do not look anything alike!

Do you mean the Gackt who left Malice Mizer?

Actually, Gackt looks a lot like Cloud.

Yup, though I personally find he looks better since then. I seen pictures of him in it, and I did not like.

Maybe like AC Cloud...I could see the similarities, but besides that there is practically no Final Fantasy character that I find he looks similar to.

I don't like Gackt... just because of the fact that he's not a great singer... he's all right but I've seen much better out of asian performers...

Every time I think of Gackt, I think about the Excel Saga Visual Kei band episode and the blond bloke singing "Tonari no kyaku..." XD
However, I like the song very much. Maybe it's time to start worrying. XD

Heh, I just did the which Gackt are you quiz and I'm apparently Oasis Gackt (basically the Gackt who looks like he's wearing a potato sack!)

I haven't heard the song yet and I can't download on my residence network... :(

I only like the song 'Farewell'. The rest of the ones I've heard weren't all that great. ^^() I dunno if squall was based off of Gackt's looks though. He looks like a woman in most pictures I've seen.

Yeah...Gackt does look like a girl in some pics, but others...*smirks* Well other are just hot, then there are scary ones too...He has so many varying looks, it is not even funny...

That's a commercial for the Japanese release of the game which got me very excited, and has the song playing in it. Looks freaking awesome...the FMVs look like Advent Children at a higher framerate.

Anyway, despite whether you "hate" the "comparison" of Squall and Gackt, it's the truth; Squall was indeed modeled after Gackt. It was stated in press releases and Gackt took photos in Squalls outfit and everything.

Even if I dont like songs which arent in english, so hopefully we'll get a translated version... But despite that, it's quite good...

Suits Vincents character, which is probably the most important thing.

I stand corrected then. : ) And seeing the photos next to eachother did kinda help.

I hope not personally. Gackt sounds horrible when he sings in english. His accent muffles the words. Listen to "To Feel The Fire" and you'll see what I mean. Oddly enough though his speaking accent in english is quite good.

Then again "To Feel The Fire" was'nt meant for worldwide marketing even though it was written by Stevie Wonder.
So he might sound better if he's directed to produce a song for western ears.
If Utada Hikaru can do it I'm sure Gackt can.

I suppose it's too much to hope he'd let someone else sing the english version then :(

Oh well...
It's still a decent song.

I love Gackt and Squall but I can't STAND the thought of them ever being compaired! Squall looks white and Rinoa is asian, look at their freakin noses and facial features. Come on! And that darn site http://www.mahamari.com/story/look.shtml just talks about it and "everyone" assumes that it's "TRUE"! GAH!!! .....sorry I just get very peeved whenever this topic come along.... However I do believe Squall was based off of River Phoenix and I made my own comaparison. http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b219/Rinoa_Heartillly/Reference/squallandriver.jpg
And Gackt and Squall.

Who said Gackt has to do it? They didn't have Koda Kumi do the English versions of "Real Emotion" and "1000 Words" in FFX-2.

That's very true. I didnt say he had to do it. I just can't imagine anyone else doing it as its his song anyway.

I can see a resemblance in some pics of him, when Gackt's looking somewhat normal that is...:D These aren't good pics for a comparrison though. I think he looks like Squall more in these pics, especially the one to the left.

One major problem. Squall is an incredibly masculine character with a big ass sword... Gackt is obviously a FLAMING homosexual. At least he is incredibly feminine and portrayed as one with... alternate preferences.

I have mixed feelings about Gackt. I love most of Malice Mizer and Gackt's early work, but around Love Letter or so he just lost the originality that made him so wonderful. Redemption sounds like the worse half of his Mars album mashed up into one sloshy mess. His voice is very pleasant to me, though, and he's definitely one of the most attractive men I've ever seen. How I envy Hyde. :-\

01-02-2007, 01:53 AM

I don't know about the rest of his music, but the song that played during the end credits was total pants, and his voice was comically bad. :monster:
