Question for all those who don't like the decision...
1. Do you dislike all English songs in FF games? What about Eyes On You in FFVIII, etc?
2. Which of the following do you dislike?
a) that it is an English-speaking singer
b) that it is a pop singer
c) that is is Leona Lewis
d) that it is a song worded in English
e) that the lyrics aren't amazing
I don't mind a, b, c or d. I don't know about e as I don't know anything about the song. If you're that into Japanese music, just mute the thing and play the Japanese song on a music playing device of yours. This game may be created by a Japanese company but that doesn't mean that it would make sense for bucketloads of English voice acting to be followed up by a song in a completely different language. It's the English version of the game, of course it's going to be an English song.

No the Eyes on me by Faye Wong is amazing same of melodies of life But there is Jap Singers.

d) that it is a song worded in English

All of them
I think people are missing one of the main issues here - the songs have been written by Nobuo up until now. Notice that the their themes have been present only throughout the games he has composed for. For instance, he composed the theme song "Kiss Me Goodbye" for Final Fantasy XII and the theme isn't heard anywhere else (thank God). Thus, I believe Mr. Hamauzu will not be incorporating the theme song into the actual game soundtrack. And even if, I have faith in his composing and arrangement skills. He won't let it be crappy, so no worries ;)
Hmmm. That sounds rather racist if you think that a song is okay if it's sung by a Japanese person in English lyrics but not okay if it's sung by an English speaking person in English lyrics. Or close to racist, anyway - it's certainly racial discrimination on some level or another. Hypothetical situation: If you had found out that it wasn't really Faye Wong that sung Eyes On You, but say... well, say Leona Lewis, would you suddenly dislike the song just because of the change of race of the singer? I find that absurd and disappointing.Quote:

I hope some people boycott the game over this. That would be awesome.
I mean seriously? Why are you buying the game? I've played games with mediocre music but awesome gameplay and completely loved the game. And from what I've heard of the rest of the games music, it's not going to be bad music. The song may not be the best, but it isn't the worst either. I'm getting this game for the Battle System, because that's what you're controlling most of the time, and it seems completely new and fresh.
As for Eyes on Me, I did love that song, but it's such broken english it's absurd. Maybe you can ignore that, but if you actually pay attention, parts of it don't make sense.
I hope your petition fails(know) or turns into a boycott. So then I can laugh at all of you come March. I already pre-ordered the game with release date delivery off of Amazon. With my 10 bucks I got from Pre-ordering NSMB Wii, I only have to pay 46.99 for it. So whatever.
THE JACKEL
Im Not THAT Hot On The Leona Lewis Song Myself. Its Decent, But Not Great. I Too Miss The Days Of Non-Vocal Theme Tunes.
Although A Petition Is Abit Much. They Will NEVER Listen. Personally, I Take It With A Pinch Of Optimism.
This Is One My Favourite Theme Tunes... And Its From FFX-2!
Eternity - Memory Of Lightwaves
I Could Listen To That For Days.
At Least genesizz257 That The Rest Of The Music Is Pretty Smashing. Have Yeah Heard The Chocobo Theme?! Its One Of The Best Yet! Funk!

i am dissipointed that Nobuo didnt do the music eva since he left most of the music has been crap..(il admit the new guy is a good composer when he can beat one winged angle) howeva i do like the battle music , and the chocobo music .... HOW CAN YOU LIKE THAT ????!! what happened to the epicness lol its ok take a while to get used to tho xD (cant wait for ff14 the return of NOBUO)
SO because the game was in your childhood it makes it OMG amazing. So what if this song is int he childhood of others? They are going to think it's OMG amazing.
So that's just being bias.
/facepalm lol no but im only 18 butr anyways theres no way in hoping hell im eva guna agree with leona lewis in this game tbh i hope they learn from there mistakes... i really dont see when they dont have options in games of jap soundtracks .. espesh when its on a 50gb disk ...-.-
Reading that was like putting every exam I've ever had in foreign languages into one paragraph. Good one.

ahaha lol thats epic ahh well there nothing we can do now, why dont gae companies every ask there fan what they want?? like god of war 3 has trivium in there sound track (FTW) but why not ask ??
Not angry xD
There is an MMO called Star Wars Galaxies. They were getting some leeway in the MMO market. Then they started listening too much to their fans. The entire UI changed and it just started to suck.
You can't listen to every fan because they don't know what they want. It's like asking 30 people what the best color is. They wont all agree. SO moral of the story, asking the fans what they want the game to be like will ruin a game.
They haven't been making these games forever and making money off of it for nothing. They know what they are doing and by saying they don't you're undermining the entire existence that is Squenix. More or less. That could be going to an extreme xD
Fans don't know what they want and will always complain. That's just how it is.
