So they didn't have a brand new song for FFXIII; they are using a song that already exists? That kind of sucks. I'm a sucker for the songs that I know have been written with a game in mind. #finalfantasyxiii
@Spoony Bard: No, they DO have a brand new song... for the Japanese release. They just aren't going to use it here. Because, you know, the games with Japanese music have been such failures in the past.... -_- #finalfantasyxiii
Actually, the release date makes sense for all involved. It says "3.9.2010". While North Americans see that as "March 9th", Europeans read it as "September 3rd", which is coincidentally a Friday, which is not exactly an odd day to release a big game. All in all, the dates make sense, no? I mean, such a big (Square Enix) game couldn't possibly release in both areas on the same day, right? #finalfantasyxiii

@andrewwyatt: I feel like he specified their dates would be the same date, but if they did want the info received in the way you're thinking it would be a fairly crafty. #finalfantasyxiii
@SublimeAndEtc: He does say "I bet you wanna know the North American and European release date", so yes, they'll likely be on the same day. Sony might just want to keep in mind, though, that dates are read differently in different countries.
It's good to see Europe get a Square Enix game in a timely manner, though, speaking even as an American. The last time that happened was The World Ends With You, which was strangely released in Europe before North America, a rare treat for the Euros. #finalfantasyxiii
@Vecha: One more Month: Nope, the Japanese version has its own theme song. What sucks, though, is that other songs throughout the game will allude to the orchestrations of THAT song, but we won't hear that one... #finalfantasyxiii

The English theme song will be completely different from the Japanese. I am so disappointed with how SE try to westernize FF when the best thing to do is just throw in an english sub and dub as an OPTION. #finalfantasyxiii
Unless there's an even grander idea brewing behind the scene somewhere, I'm starting to believe more and more in rumors of Wada jumping ship after this fiscal year. It's unusual enough that Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy numbered titles are released in the same fiscal year; now the international release is also being tucked away in that same basket. This year, at least, will probably be record-breaking for the folks at Square-Enix.
With FF14 a far cry from becoming a guaranteed hit (just look at how a lot of MMO sequels fare), current profit leader FF11 making a steady decline, Crystal Chronicle series generating dismal sales, and supposed FF spinoff moneymakers Versus/Agito/whatever nowhere in sight, the timing certainly does seem right to grab that golden parachute. #finalfantasyxiii
@excel_excel: probably september 3rd for europe, like someone said above in the states we see it at march 9th but europe sees it at september 3rd. #finalfantasyxiii
But agreed for the most part. It'd be so awesome if it was March for us in PAL zones too. Not awesome for my PS3 though, that'll have an endless barrage of play time between that and Gran Turismo 5 to put up with though. #finalfantasyxiii
Haha, the brothers sound like characters out of a movie. Sol seems pretty slick; certainly well-aware of his market. Leo on the other hand... kinda one-track minded. #wii
@Orionsaint: why are you blaming Nintendo for? You have a choice as a buyer to either buy that stuff or not buy them. Nintendo's Wiimote and nunchuck are enough to enjoy most games + you can opt for the classic controller as well. No one needs the 1 zillion peripherals but hey, many people still buy them. #wii
I called it! FOX & FRIENDS is about to do a segment on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, with the headline. "A game that lets you play as a terrorist?" as the host nods his head. #modernwarfare2
"While in context the level that made me hate Makarov helps to justify the events of the game, it doesn't make it enjoyable."
Yes, and? All those scenes in The Dark Knight had you creeped out by the Joker, but they weren't exactly "enjoyable". I'm not sure why this could be called a negative. #modernwarfare2

English theme song [www.youtube.com]
I prefer the JP one, afterall it is a J-RPG. But FF8's theme song is still one of my favourites. #finalfantasyxiii
