English version of the latest Final Fantasy XIII has been announced last Friday. The game will come out on 9th March 2010. Excited, definitely, but at the same time, a bit sad.
You see, the English Theme Song, titled 'My Hand', is sung by one Leona Lewis. I have nothing against the song or Leona herself, but what's unfortunate is that the western theme song is not Final Fantasy XIII exclusive. It is not written specific for the game. Instead, SquareEnix opted for something that is commercially available. Kind of like 'off the shelf' song. It will mark the first time that us western audience will not be hearing the work of FF's music father, the legendary Nobuo Uematsu.
Check out the English theme song at YouTube, then check out the Japanese theme song. Which one do you like better?
