Square Enix has released a new international trailer for Final Fantasy XIII. This one's got English voice acting set against that Leona Lewis song "My Hands". Oh, and drama. Lots of drama. If action's what you're looking for better skip to the 2:39 mark.

Final Fantasy XIII is set for a March 9 release on PS3 and Xbox 360.

100% of voters think this story ROCKS!

Why do even care about the news about it then? most people who enjoy the final fantasy series will play this game and some have already preordered the game and we are not interested in hearing someones complains. There are so many kinds of haters out there.. some hate this and some hate that. But why do they even bother?

Quoting skidz:

The character designs are nothing short of... homosexual? What is wrong with the Japanese games industry? They really have fallen to a new low, this game looks very lame compared to every other FF, even 12, and that was bad enough.

Gotta hate homosexual characters! Oh, wait, sorry.. I don't care.

# song is eh — Guest 2010-01-13 16:25

for me this song seperately is ok and the game is cool but together is just meh for me

# wow — joncaputo 2010-01-13 16:57

the graphics have come a LONG way..unreal

# Song doesn't go well — RavenSPe 2010-01-13 17:26

particularly in the beginning, it's like playing two vocal tracks at the same time and trying to listen to what the characters are saying.

I do agree on this point

# this game is just my type — ghufranullah 2010-01-13 18:34

graphics + action + drama + characters + song = awesome game

# Ummm — linked2thepast06 2010-01-13 18:56

I hated the song for this trailer...

I hope this game doesn't disappoint like that Hong Kong magazine says it will.

# well — narutosaiyan 2010-01-13 19:04

the cinematics look great, but none of this is actually in game footage, so all u guys getting hard over the grafics need to calm down. also, is it just me or are the American voice actors very monotoned? the annoying background music was actually way more emotional. Either way, that wont matter as long as the story is good. i still cant wait for this game! March will be the month where my wallet goes empty. FF13, GOW3, GT5, and Bioschock2...

# ... — Guest 2010-01-13 19:23

Did you even watch the whole thing?
They show some battles with the battle menu and all. Are you telling me that its not in game graphics? And I do belive that most of the scenes shown in the trailer are ordinary cutscenes and not prerendered CGI sequences.
The game really has amazing graphics.
Thats jusst plain fact

# .... — narutosaiyan 2010-01-13 22:52

i played the demo, and it didnt look like that. plus there is a huge difference between the cgi parts and the fighting. also in the middle of a fight the game goes into cut scenes where they do finishing moves and such...kinda like raging blast. either way it doesnt matter it still looks good, the most important part is the story anyway.

+1 # song — Guest 2010-01-14 03:08

that song really does spoil the mood

# RE: Watch: New Final Fantasy XIII English trailer is dramatic — Guest 2010-01-14 04:23

The more I see and hear about this game I am more turned off. Graphics look amazing but thats 90% of games these days..

I'm anticipating FF XIII Versus sooo much more than this.

# Just started.. — Guest 2010-01-14 05:40

Just started playing through the game with my fiancee yesterday. Some of the english voices in this trailer felt quite awkward but it did sound a bit better than what I would expect.
The ingame graphics are about right out of my memory, and despite all the hate and varied scores, so far I've enjoyed every moment.

# Wow. — Guest 2010-01-14 08:46

March is pretty much THE month for gaming...so many games at once...I'm going to go broke, no doubt about it.

# The song — dustinfoley 2010-01-14 12:56

O realy? People dont like the song?

Come one, ever since FF8 they have had the worst songs ever.

FF8 - eyes on me? poorly translated and wholly unimaginative
FF10 - Death Metal for zanarkan, really? that was any better?
FF12 - no memoral music, story, characters

FF13 is them trying to go back to what made ff7 popular, a heart wrenching story of epic proportions. Aerith dieing and her song were the impetus that pushed FF7 apart from all other rpg of that time.

So naturally they are trying to do the same thing and not make the same mistakes as FF12 where the story is so bad not only was it hard to follow but almost no one felt attached to any character. I mean Van could have died in the ending CG and most people would be like "meh", a french girl/boy wanting to be a sky pirate

# music... — Guest 2010-01-14 14:21

I have to say that I think all FF-songs are better than this...
And in ffx we also have Suteki da ne.. which is more like the main song.

All those songs before FFXII are built on melodical themes which is used in various other songs. And it goes very good togheter with the games and its story.

Eyes on me: Love grows, Julias theme, my mind and maby more...

Melodies of life: over the hills, song of memories and more.

suteki da ne: A dream will end sometime, Braska's Daughter, Yuna's Theme, Ending theme, Believe and more..

I dont think this could be done with this
new main song. It doesnt hold a theme that is strong enough.

# RE: Watch: New Final Fantasy XIII English trailer is dramatic — Guest 2010-01-14 15:08

This is like waaay beyond lame. FFX was lame enough, but this is like ffx-2 lame. What happened square? i spent so much money on your games back in the day. i cant wait for the day they dump tetsuya nomura and the hyper sci-fi stuff. Technology is cool and integral to FF but this is way way beyond gay. I really doubt anyone over the age of 14 will be able to play this thing without a certain denial of their dignity.

# RE: Watch: New Final Fantasy XIII English trailer is dramatic — Guest 2010-01-14 15:11

the visuals look wonderful but whats with the song? who are they trying to cater this thing to, my mom?

# Ruined — Guest 2010-01-14 15:51

Well Leona Lewis track ruined a good trailer, i think i may have to mute the tv until the save games are loaded when the game comes out!

Have to say it really was such a bad decision to get a decidedly average artist with a boring and pointless song as the main theme! Especially when square has such a good record of original music in FF series/Chrono series/SOM series! Surely they could have just given us the japanese song, even that (not able to understand the lyrics) was more emotional/better fitted to the game than Leona's POS effort!

# Totally agree — dtruegamer 2010-01-14 17:05

she has such an annoying voice, and the song does not fit to this game.

# Awesome — Guest 2010-01-14 17:21

did anyone else's spine tingle at how epic that was?

# I agree — Guest 2010-01-15 17:04

Mine did. I don't get people these days; Square tries something new by helping out someone that they like and suddenly its the end of the world. I say, if you want to hear the JP song, get it on limewire like everyone else.

And I don't even mind the linearity; FF8-10 were just that and 9's my fave (8 & ten are Top 5's). I can't wait(It'll be Spring Break here when the game comes out, too!

# about the music pt 2 — Guest 2010-01-14 17:32

I have to say this...
The music have never been the same since Nobuo Uematsu left Square Enix.
Its jusst not the same anymore. But this game have better music than Final fantasy 12.

What would zelda be without Koji Kondo? Thats right! Put some R&B in the hyrule fields! Its the same thing! Almost

But I heard that old Noobie Uematsu is going to do the music for Final Fantasy 14! Yaaay! Welcome back!

# nah — Guest 2010-01-14 21:29

hate the song i really liked the japanese song

# WTF? — Zhipp 2010-01-15 14:45

Firstly, I'm really impressed by the lip-syncing. But the song... what the eff guys?! Is that REALLY the best you could do. Jeez and the clips don't really make sense. But the battle system looks cool.
