Forums - Gaming - Blog post ''Square Enix Have Destroyed Final Fantasy Tradition''

Couldn't they have posted links to both songs so people can compare?

Also considering the song they picked makes me believe the other song couldn't be that much better...

It's a JRPG! There is absolutely NO need to westernize it! It's like the Pokemon anime where 4Kids changed rice balls into donuts or sandwiches. There is NO need to do that!

actually Darth..ur wrong. FF has always had STAPLES...the Story,Characters,settings may have changed everytime but the STAPLES stayed the same....ppl are whining because SE has removed siome pretty STAPLES in the series recently

Actually xxain that depends on what you mean by tradition

Tradition post FF7 or before it first of all

the phrase "tradition" & FF don't go together, if they do we need to decide what we mean by the FF tradition as many of them are so different from eachother

& I think I listed those "staples".....they are all present in FF13

what other staples are there? Theme park (check)

If people think tradition = these staples

then which ones are missing?

& don't say uematsu music, thats been gone for 8 years, get over it people

 



All hail the KING, Andrespetmonkey

i heard some people (girls mostly that play FF) that the song it's rather good.

but i would have prefer a japanese singer. it just ruins the mood of the game.

what we like about FF it's it's asian flavor, and turning another western crap.

ur still alittle off...FF STAPLES/TRADITIONS have carried over FF7 and on also...if any FF truly broke tradition it was FFXll. dont get me wrong SE is expanding the FF series and if they want HALO/GT5/MARIO sales there gonna have to + im a fan of change especially in series thats been alive for so long with very little change, BUT as a loong time FF fan I can understand some dissapointment..hell im bumed IFIRIT didnt make it for some reason and hes a OG summon.

This is the kinda post that bugs me. It can't ruin the mood of the game if we haven't played the game.

of course it can, i said why it would at least for me, i prefer a japanese feel to the game.

and leona it's too western, it may fit the game, but more like transformers american like kind of movie, instead of what suteki dane make me feel when i played FFX.

or liberi fatalli in FF8.

1. It's NOT 100 hours, it's only 50 hours!
2. Leona Lewis' music is not memorable. It's generic, forgettable r&b/pop garbage.

You don't know what the hell you're talking about.

The games play time, like every other game ever, will vary, and most FF games have an end game that will go on far after the main campaign is over. I was making an off the cuff generalization without thinking based on previous entries in the series, you're trying to imply that you know the actual length of the game.

Also, your opinion is not a fact, and while you purposefully tried to make it insulting to my tastes in music, I actually think that you insulted yourself unintentionally.

While you might group music into genres you consider "hip" I group music only into two categories. Good and bad. You should look into broadening your horizions, it's much more constructive than criticizing other people's opinions.

There is plenty of good music throughout all genres of music, just as there are genres of gaming and movies. No "genre" is garbage, that is a vast and ignorant generalization, imho.

So again, complaining about a 2 minute song ruining a 50 hour game is just nitpicking, and saying the game is "ruined" is a completely generalization of a game all of you have never even played, and there is a reason none of you fans have a say in its development.

Ok, that's wrong. Many staples of the FF series have changed over the years, and many have changed with every game. There really aren't any more  staples removed from this entry than there were from FFXII. People just complain about everything that changes about the series with every release, it's that simple. They love FF so much, that they dont' want it to change, but the fact is, the game changes vastly with EVERY release, and that is WHY they love it so much.
