i hope these guys will not reappear at GB anytime soon. Let alone the 4chan reference makes them among the reasons that FF has such an obnoxious fanbase.

Yes I know she's unfortunately the singer of the soundtrack for the game, but she's just so generic. She's basically Mariah carey, but not fat, and except for the fact that she's very very british, she might as well be Mariah Carey.
 
Oh well, she's really really rich, so she must be doing something right. "
Its just for the main theme(not during gameplay) where Leona Lewis is singing since its not spesificly made for this game but licensed. Also, that song is actually way better then the japaneese song you get in the japan version of FFXIII.

Although the gameplay is getting progressivly better in each game... the story, character development, and exploration aspects of the game seem to be dieing. I mean in FF8 finding Odin, and Cactus, or Bahamut were great rewards for exploration that made me xplore every inch of the world map.  
 
While the closest thing to that in final fantasy 10 was inputting random coordinates in your ship, and it wasn't even present in final fantasy 12, everything was right in front of you, it was just hard to beat it sometimes.  
 
Anyways final fantasy 12 WAS okay... but should not be compared to 6-9, and 10 was good, but mainly because of the summoning system.

I cannot believe they mentioned the '4chan party van.' That was probably the worst first impression you could ever leave.

YES TO THE GUY THAT SAID IX!!!!

Also doubt you are going to hear singing vocals during the game; you were hearing the vile english trailer in the background.

John and Gia have have stated many times on the Squadcast that they are really looking forward to FFXIII, also it was a public event the GiantBomb guys would of likely gone if it was a press thing.

I'd like to say that peeps from Anime Vice were doing this cause the guys from here would get mauled getting on the bus.. but then, most people probably wouldn't recognize Jeff and crew. 
 
Figure it's just because GB is too busy to go. 
 
Picturing Vinny walk on the bus and go "WHOOOOO!!! I'm Vinny from Giant Bomb, bitch!  Get out ma' way!" does provide me with a bit of a chuckle, however.

What is going on with my brain? I kind of like that song. Perhaps it's just her vocal skill and not the song.

Nothing to be ashamed about liking final fantasy nine. Its probably one of the most of underrated games around.

I've been playing the FFXIII import, and I absolutely love it, one of my favourite RPGs I've played in a while, even beating out some PS2 ones. 
 
So happy to finally see good RPGs this generation on a platform besides the PSP or DS (Not that I mind my PSP or DS having good RPGs).  Just...something about playing a nice looking RPG on a big TV can be more gratifying sometimes.

"Robot Vampire" is the name of the song.

I like your pessimism. Good for the soul, right?
 
I'm also intrigued as to how you've attained and played this game in its entirety to inform us of its worthless nature. 
 
Now, I'm not a F-F-fanboy (in fact, I've played precisely TWO Final Fantasy games, neither of them being six or seven), but condemning an entire series and genre is a bit... stupid.

" So this demo isn't on the FF7 Advent Children Complete blu-ray? "
From my understanding they were different. The actual set-up was barely a demo, as they had set up an environment where we were pretty overleveled, and stocked with 99 of everything, just to mess around with. The focus was, it seems, to really hammer in gameplay, and get a feel for that.
 
It actually made for a very effective combo, since you got your fill of plot and theme watching the trailers (on bus) and then let loose on hard, fast gameplay.
 
Note: I said this on Vice earlier, but I wanted to stress that, in fact, the 360 version was not made of lag and fail. Though they used a 40 inch to divide the 2 ps3's and 2 360's (thus cleverly avoiding a true side by side comparison,) it was obvious that the gameplay on both sides was incredibly fluid... almost to the point that it was distracting.
 
Actually, there was little that wasn't distracting in Square-Enix's pit of good times. They even provided us our very own cute Asian girl.

Yes, it is from a Midnight Brown album... although I can't quite place what song it is.

"
The song is 28 Hours a Day. "
At first when Anime Vice and Comic Vine really started pumping out video content I was a bit angry, I must admit, but I got used to hearing Midnight Brown on their videos as well as Giant Bomb's after a while and eventually I came to the realisation that both sister sites couldn't have just taken the tracks and edited it in with no-one noticing. At some point they must've have said they think the music is good and they'd like to use it and Jeff must've said, "I'm totally cool with that." 
 
PS. Deadly Electric is great. PPS. My comments on this video after first seeing it on Anime Vice were ,"Great ending, I wish Leona had nothing to do with it and I probably won't be buying it, I'll just stick with Dragon Age: Origins." "

I hope it didn't come off like I was mad they were using.  I just found it interesting.
