English Language Trailer. Featuring the 'my hands' theme song. The song feels a bit intrusive, its a little too loud. I dunno, maybe its because i've always been a little negative on XIII, but the voice acting dosent seem special, and at points, the dialogue felt a bit clunky.

Snow's Englsih voice is actually excellent, despite the fact that I already don't like his character. His English voice actor is the guy who voiced Action Bastard on the US Funimation Shin Chan dubbing. (I'm a big Shin Chan fan, so I know this...)
But yeah, some of the other voice work was kinda meh.
Now then, the song. Yes, it's horrible. Yeah, I know I hate ALL pop, so it may sound biased. I'm into melodic death metal, black metal etc. But none of that matters, because regardless as you said the song simply does not fit and does feel intrusive. It honestly feels like one of the user made AMV music videos you find on youtube constantly.

Haha, now that you mention it it does feel like an AMV ;D I still love the battle theme though, can't wait to hear more of the OST later this month. I've been listening to other FF OSTs lately. Nostalgia trip for sure EDIT FFXIII Had An Entire Games Worth of Content CutHmmmm, can't imagine why

Didn't think of it when i first read the article. But they have mentioned the possibility of DLC for FFXIII. Then again, it could be the kind of stuff to go in there expanded/international/final mix edition.

i can think of one good thing if thats the case, the new japanese release might come out with english subs (though, traditionaly i think the past few international/final mixes come out with the english dub in japan). Probably won't, but i can be hopeful

If they do pull a Kingdom Hearts with a Final Mix you'd think they'd go the DLC route and have it downloadable off the PSN

Oh god, My Hands sounds like raping two cows with a plunger. XP . . . simontaneously!? But anyway, I wouldn't mind some extra content after the game's initial release.

First english review is in, apparently. I mean, there are scans (UK PSM) just seems a bit early still for English reviews. Might be based on the Japanese release, that admittedly there should only be minimal differences between. Long story short, they give it a 9/10, and also, there's alot of pages to there article. Pg01Pg02Pg03Pg04Pg05Pg06Pg07Pg08Pg09Pg10 Pg11 Pg12Haven't bothered to read it myself.

I HATE when a magazine or site make a review that goddamn long. IGN is terrible about doing that with it's 10 page reviews. That just irks me. As a writer I learned that it is actually encouraged to shorten your work by trimming off the fat, and getting your point across while still keeping your detailing.
This is the exact opposite of that.

Same, I normally can't be bothered with a long winded review like that. I'm pretty sure the only people that would bother reading all of those 5-10 page reviews are the people that already know there getting the game, and just want some sort of satisfaction from being told how awesome it is.
I did just read a article about the game though, and i think its the first time i've actually paid any real attention to it. The combat system sounds ace, almost like a combination of X-2 and XII. Though i'm not to excited about the leveling system being similar to the sphere grid.

pac-white's right. I totally fall into the category of his first paragraph. I get lots of satisfaction from reading reviews, and do it a lot, even on systems I don't have. The two top reasons I get online are to read reviews and previews and to come to this forum. My friends are going to make me a Gaia and a facebook though.
Also, I agree that the combat system sounds awesome and newness be-of, but from what I've heard the new sphere grid thingy is really boring.
