    Completely disagree.

    I wasn't too fond of the My Hands song at first but the International trailer kind convinced me otherwise. Watched it a few times and the song grew on me.

    The original jp song is pretty average at best.

    The original song matches the game more lyric wise. I assume since it's made for FF13 while My Hands( like someone mentioned somewhere) feels like a Diva song.

    Except I'm not playing the game with the translation on a piece of paper right next to me.

    My Hands was a song they picked off her album, so that's obviously pretty lazy, but the select parts of the song serve as a decent compliment to the game lyric wise.

    Overall I think I still like the music of My Hands better.

    I did at some point, but I quit keeping up with it. Rather just stick to emails, PSN messages, or something like that.


    And I will agree that the original Japanese song wasn't all that great IMO. But putting in a Leona Lewis track is just horrible IMO (and nothing again Lewis...could have been much worse I suppose). I prefer game music to be composed specifically for the game, and I hope Square-Enix doesn't try to continue this trend.

    I don't watch much tv and when I do it's online bball games or hulu. If it makes you happy I got a SNES just for Street Fighter 2 and I got Street Fighter 2 turbo as well. Find me a good deal on a 50+ inch hdtv timan.




    RC - oh just thought it would be fun talking about rpgs with you since you seem pretty knowledgeable about it.

    if you sit more than 5 feet away from your tv, you should check out 720p 50inch plasmas, best bang for you buck.

    you can get a samsung or panasonic for $799.

    considering you don't have a ps3 or xbox, this would be a good thing to get, plus you have extra money to buy the game system, extra controllers, a sound system, cables and stand and $60 for an RPG and $20 for the hint book :p

    My mom sent me the money to buy FFXIII for my birthday. Can't decide if I'm going to order from Amazon, or just go get it tonight from Wal-Mart.

    I have release day shipping for my copy from Amazon. :cool: So stoked. Probably won't bathe for a couple days (kidding... maybe).

    I was thinking about getting the Panasonic TC-PG10 50" plasma. It's kind of expensive though but the reviews seems to be good. Which model plasmas for 799 are you talking about?

    Blah I don't need a hint book. I think they ruin the fun of gaming and if I do feel the need to look up info I can just use gamefaqs.

    the 50X1 is around $800 bucks. great reviews.

    The G10 got great reviews and it's suppose to be cheaper because the G20 is out soon.

    Superstar,
    A buddy of mine bought the x50 from Newegg, they brought the tv up the stairs too.

    Yeah good deal but I was hoping to find it at a local store ~_~. Oh well I'll probably end up ordering it from there. There's even a bing cashback of 2 percent it looks like haha =). Thanks tin!

    I got a PS3 just for GTA lol. I had a PS2 previously, and wanted Blue Ray.....

    I bought a TV from Newegg before too, best decision ever. Saved $$$ on taxes (none from Newegg) and the front door shipping was fantastic. Brought it into the living room. :)

    Blah we Californians get taxed like crazy.

    I get bored of GTA games fast. I usually just steal some cars, kill people in different ways, and try to escape/kill cops that come after me. I own San Andreas and some other one.


    Already ordered the tv from newegg, thanks again tin for pointing it out. I would of gotten the X14 series (at costco) or the G10 if you haven't pointed it out.
