    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.
    I like Kung-Fu.

    I've heard it, and it sounds good...
    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.

    The song is ok, but I don't listen to it much like I used to.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.
    She loves it more then X!

    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/b2...llandriver.jpg
    And Gackt and Squall.

    Until someone gives me the official crap I'll believe what other people do, but for now it isn't the truth to me...

    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.
    I like Kung-Fu.
