Yup once again I have been away forever n have returned to vent my fury over something which I think is ridiculous! Pull up a chair! :3

So we finally get the big XIII announcement, being a release date (9th March 2010), and the fact that Leona Lewis will be singing the theme music for the game "My hands".

Now personally, when I heard I was excited! I just thought, Wow Leona is fricking incredible thats damn awesome. Yet when I see responses online all I see are about 98% of people crying about it, saying they won't buy the game cuz of it etc.

Come on? Really? First off, ok the first few lines of the song totally don't fit Final Fantasy, but they likely won't be included in the game itself. Secondly, those who are complaining they like the old Orchestra opening music, no one said this was the opening music. This is music to be played during an emotional scene in the game. Watch this fan made video, it fits:

Also think about this from a business point of view, I'm betting this single will be released around the time of the game. The music video will more than likely include scenes from the game. More people will see it, gives a chance for Squeenix to try n sell to a different audience. I don't see anything wrong with that.

Makes me wonder if things were the other way around and all Final Fantasy games were made with English music for Japan, and then they gave them a Japanese song, would they complain so much?

RAWR! To anyone who won't be buying XIII because of this, fine, you can go cry in your corner while I have a kick ass time playing.

Yeah I been busy lately. :3 Will try n get a bit more time on here when I can.

I'm totally hyped about Final Fantasy XIV now, seeing gameplay n some weather effects demos n such was awesome, the weather effects btw ~ wow. Blew me away, I can't wait to hear more news about XIV.

In other news, WoW has a new expansion? If anyone has read my reviews of the last 2 I don't think ya need me to comment on it hehe. *rolleyes* Looking forward to playing Aion though, not long now!

Hope everyone has been well n having fun gaming.

Nikki~

PS. If you don't already have it, go buy Batman: Arkham Asylum. Now.

Do eeet.

Yeah I was in the last Aion beta weekend, my other half bought me it on preorder for my birthday. Was awesome! I was having my doubts about whether it would be good or not, I could see it being the same as WoW for me but I really enjoyed playing it. The next beta is the 31st so I'll give my thoughts on the game around then. :3
