I don't mind, as long as it fits and is emotional. Since that's the experience I expect from a Nomura game.

Hopefully it's more Stefani than GaGa.

You've heard GaGa's stuff pre-GaGa, right? She's really good. Plus it's no different than them using Leona Lewis for XIII.

I have but I still don't trust her given the fact that she has a tendency of harking the "monster" image wherever she goes; And given the problem with the FF Franchise's tendency of trying to see if they can incorporate the "in" trends with FF games... Well... Colour me Skeptical.

Eh, I have a feeling she isn't going to make it some major dance song (if this is real) and do something more fitting. While I hated the choice for Leona Lion in XIII, the song still somewhat fit.

Plus, she seems to be toning it down according to her latest pictures, she losing the whole "crazy" style and going for a more natural (compare to what she normally is) look. So I think the same thing will happen with her music. /slighty off-topic

Like I said though, as long as it's emotional and fitting I see no issue with it. Plus, Nomura wouldn't let anything ruin his baby.

"Wake up in the morning, tired of sleeping, make my bed alone." - My hands lyrics.

Yeah, real fitting.

I didn't say it completely made sense. Some of it did, while some of it was just really not fitting at all. I hated FFXIII anyway, so I didn't really care.

That gaga tune sounds very fitting to Final Fantasy actually. Words I thought I'd never say. Was it just an April fools?

Um, I'm assuming you're referring to Koda as Lenne? She happens to be one of the most vocally technically talented artists in mainstream music... You just have to look past the image and the fact that they (Koda and Gaga) sing pop music and not, opera or Adelesque pop. That said........ X-2 was really just a bit too much. I wish it were more "serious" too.

The same goes for GaGa, it took me FOREVER before I became a fan. I couldn't get past her image and I found "Just Dance" and "Poker Face" atrocious. But her voice is actually rather incredible. Give her a chance, she's just sitting at a piano in this:
