Smart move having both versions playable in there to avoid perceived bias.

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

I can't wait to get my hands on it.

And to the bitchers of the theme song I'd much rather have it then some J-Pop that furthers it's anime flavour, the song isn't bad and sets the epic scale nicely.

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."

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.

This game is so shit. Gamers really need to get over their stupid nostalgia. Final Fantasy and JRPGs in general need to die.

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.
