and you thought you are gonna wait ages for the english release of Final Fantasy XIII ? Not anymore, the date is not that far – 09 March 2010. The EU Playstation Blog had updated the information which includes a special video just for the English release and also some words from the producer himself.
English release of FF13 will have a separate theme song by Leona Lewis, titled “My Hands” in Echo album!
Check out the youtube video below which also includes a message from the game developers themselves and also revealing some gameplay sneaks such as chocobo running in the field :P
Will you be getting both Japanese and English releases ?

The new theme song is rough…
I’ve never heard of the artist, the lyrics aren’t to great, but even regarding those two trivial things, it just doesn’t sound good.
I will definitely be picking up the Japanese and US release of this game. I understand the appeal of not having a Japanese song in the game for English releases with such a large franchise, but I just wish that wasn’t the case.
Other than that, I am glad the release date is earlier than most expected, good move Square Enix.
I don’t care how the new song sounds as long as it fits the situation.. I
hear a lot of people are upset because of this (was expected anyway lol).
I’ll be getting the PS3 US version (which I coincidentally pre-ordered today before I found out the new date ^^), but I hope we get an option to hear both versions of the song.
Should I invest in a console now that FFXIII is bound for international English release?
