I think Leona is obviously happy with my hands being in the game but not happy with our hands crossing her face.... again.

No chance of Leona being lamped by a giant Tonberry then.

Alex Zane? Really? He just looks so fake when he's looking interested during interviews.

I'd go if Leona Lewis was going, just to watch her get punched in the chops again! And if noone did it after half an hour, I'd do it meself

Woo. Yay. Alex Zane.

An even better reason not to walk up Oxford street than the cattle like tourists, the half term kids and the roadworks.

Thanks for the heads up.

Can someone tape the sound of the crickets chirping when the doors open as I'm looking for some sound effects for a game

Bit confused as to why anyone wants to see Leona Lewis slapped. Did she do something horrid?

I'd slap her, but it wouldn't be in the face and i'd be doing it in time with this song...

Great to see so much enthusiasm for common assault.

Surely the people that love their FF that much that they're willing to go out dressed as characters from the games in public will most likely be buying the limited edition of the game, which already comes with a soundtrack CD does it not? So where's the incentive to go out looking like an idiot? A severely discounted copy of the game might have been a more tempting offer I would have thought.

I'm not familiar with Leona's work, but I liked the music video, it seems to suit the game pretty well.

Well, I'm going in cosplay - as Leona Lewis. Can anyone spare a gum-shield?

Penhalion obviously hasn't heard Leona's music.
