So you have played the game?

puh-lease

ONLY S-E knows how the game's narrative goes & what the story is

ONLY they can tell which song will fit the game & which won't

The song wasn't design to be a FF song, it was picked out of Leona Lewis's latest album. Leona Lewis (or whoever writes her song) did NOT have FFXIII in mind when they created this song. Even if some of the lyric relates to the game, it will either have to be a conincident or the game designer fitting their story around a theme song (and I shudder at the later scenario).

Previous FF had song that were specifically created for the game, I feel that this is a much better approach than waiting for the game to be near complete and picking a random song out of the 'what's hip' catalogue that voguely fit your need in term of lyric and tune.

S-E failed here.

 

In the announcement video they said "the song FITS the game"

If they are saying that I will believe them over the 100's of Final Fantasy fans who have shown that they are better at moaning at S-E than doing anything else in the past 5 years

Have some trust in the developers

@words of Wisdom

so what?

Music from FF12 wouldn't fit into scenes from FF7

& music from FF7 would seem out of place in games like FF10 & FF12

once again.....its not as simple as you think it is

S-E didn't have some random lottery to decide which western song they would choose, they have ANALYZED each song carefully to see which would fit the game well......

And you know that because....?

Seriously, you begin with S_E only knowing what music fits the game and then you come up something like this....

As if you would know that they analyzed each song. I think it's a weird incidence that they come up with a song from an album that it is released nearly at the same time as the announcement from FFXIII:

FFXIII annuncement: November 13, 2009

"Echo" album from Leona Lewis: November 16, 2009 (UK) / November 17, 2009 (US)

Shortly after the FFXIII announcement I saw ads for her album everywhere. For me the choice of the song was nothing more than a piss-poor advertising for Leona Lewis' album. I don't want to know how much the record company paid S-E for the decision.....
