I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought they'd gotten their target audience a little mixed-up.
 
Also, what was up with the never-seen-before footage? "YEAH RANDOM BATTLES WOOO! CHECK OUT THESE FUCKIN' CHOCOBOS!"

I used to be pretty excited for FF13, and was one of the main reasons I bought a PStriple. 
Now it just looks like a bland, incredibly corporate JRPG...with Leona Lewis.

Most anticipated of all time? I guess I'll buy the game out of spite and see for myself if it can truly triumph Final Fantasy 9 then.

Why does a final fantasy game have Leona Lewis making the theme song and is the video taking being filmed in some secret, Japanese military base in the future.

America style in this video. The date on the EU PS blog was 9/3/10 so it's definitely March. But they really shouldn't do numbered dates. Too confusing.

Leona Lewis is part of the Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack? - ugh! Pop culture does not need to be in a franchise like FF. Look at 50 cents video games. They're a running joke because of the ridiculousness of it all. And to my eyes this is no different. If the gaming industry continues to evolve in this direction, I for one, will stick to playing on the PC for my gaming entertainment even though that platform is a dying breed. 
 
First we have to put up with Hyperbole (which is the only way a game sells these days instead of letting the game sell itself), but now we have to put up with this?

That's Troy Baker, he does voice acting. I'm pretty sure he does someones voice for the game. As for the vid itself it seems like Square spared no expense for this game.

Excuse me, but FF series has had pop songs for several titles now, ever since FFVIII with Faye Wong's "Eyes on Me". And quite frankly, pop songs and video games, just as any other media (except static ones like pictures or books), works well together. 
 
But yeah, FF X-2 wasn't... that good.

Damn. So much hate for the game in these comments. I didn't care for this video much either but damn. Try the game before you start bitching. I've loved every numbered Final Fantasy game, even XI, so I'm going to give Square Enix the benefit of the doubt.

 Music has been integlar to Finar Fantasy in (accompanying?) and bringing to
 rife ze motion an depts of za serieses blilliant stoly telling. I am very preased to announce zat we ahr partneraling with jelecos (?) and psycho-musix (?), rammy nominated (unintelligible) singre song writer Leona Lewis to present her new song My Hands as a single song for the North American and European rereases of Finar Fantasy
Sarteen.

My Hands a new track from Leona Lewis's highly anticipated second arbum Echo is a lich ballad that compriments a powarful sceme of Final Fantasy Shirteen. We are thrirred and honor to share with eberyone za inspieraing brand of Leona Lewis's sowlful and captivating voice and the drama of Final Fantajee Thirteen.


   I think I got that about right. 
 
I feel sorry for the guy, it would have been much easier for all of us if he had just spoken in Japanese with subtitles.

Hey it's Kanji, well, the guy who does the voice at least. The graphics look pretty plain, then again.. everything looks plain after playing Uncharted 2, even real life.
