Leona Lewis (Paid to Say She) Loves Final Fantasy XIII
February 17th, 2010
…at least the part of the game where she says she “runs around the land all day”. I’m no marketing expert, but I just personally find it weird for Square Enix to use 24-year old British singer Leona Lewis to promote Final Fantasy XIII. Perhaps this is their way of luring new gamers into the somewhat varied and wildly inconsistent franchise? Or maybe this is a sign that Final Fantasy XIII is being targeted at casual gamers?
Or maybe this is just proof of how mainstream video games have become. Whatever the reason, it’s one more opportunity for us to catch a glimpse of the much-maligned RPG in action. Sit back and enjoy…

Lewis is a huge gamer, she often talks about playing video games and beating her boyfriend at them. For your info (being as you haven’t got a clue) she’s into shoot em up’s
You sound like a stalker, unlike the poster, which is even worse.
Really? Hmmm. Has she been quoted on any online source about her gaming habits? Sorry if I was a bit quick to judge. Still, gamer or not, it’s more likely that she was paid to promote FF XIII right?:D
She’s already part of the franchise when she tweeted about “beating the boys at video games.” Way before that, though, she was quoted in a radio interview that she has a PS3. She also said she plays Resident Evil and that she “loves shooting zombies.” The interview is right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XnwzpFZXg_0
And case in point, of course she was paid! Artists and sports stars get paid to endorse unless it’s for charity. lol. It’s how it works but I don’t think Leona will promote anything she doesn’t believe in even though the song being in the game was not really her decision.
People straight need to grow up. Who gives a shit if she likes FF XIII or not? Form your own opinion of the game! SquareEnix has been working on this game for a long time, it should be awesome! Just relax, and let things happen. If the game sucks, it sucks, if its good its good, damn.
