Wow, I just heard the song... What the hell is that whiny, dime a dozen crap doing in a Final Fantasy game? This isn't RnB hour on MTV we're talking about (not that they play anything besides RnB and Hip-Hop/Rap anyway...) its a frickin Final Fantasy game!

Are we really going to start to forego masterpieces such as this;

for the benefit of cheap, plastic pop? Makes me truly sad.

thats one 4 minute SONG in the game, in ONE scene out of possibly 50 - 60 hours

because of this song your gonna ignore the fantastic OST for the game? (after having listened to many pieces it sure is fantastic)

sorry, but thats truly sad dude

Its not the implementation of the shitty theme itself that worries me, its the signals they're sending. It leads me to believe that S-E are willing to sacrifice parts of what makes Final Fantasy Final Fantasy. To me, it'd be like Valve suddenly adding Furby's as enemies in Half-Life 2: Episode 3. Not a huge impact on the game itself but a sign that things were changing and not for the better (I'm not saying people shouldn't be allowed to listen to music I don't like, I'm just saying that I like how videogame music is unique and soulfull in compared to mainstream pop music).
