約束の場所 (Yakusoku no Basho) - ふくい舞 (Mai Fukui) [FULL+HQ] from Final Fantasy XIII-2

40k views! Thank you very much! :D Finished the game today... It's definitely much better than XIII in terms of gameplay, but XIII had a better story. I'm really against time travelling in plots, so... :|

And also, just as the others have said, XIII-2 is quite short compared to its predecessor. I'm clocked at 30 hours right now. Still haven't finished some of the sidequests, and I have 70 Fragments right now.

The final battles were annoying as all hell! That f*cking 'Regen' of that bastard 'antagonist'. Had to continually induce Poison. *sigh* Took me a whole hour to finish the chain of battles toward the end of the game.

*This is the FULL, 6-MINUTES version*

Note: This song isn't available in the Final Fantasy XIII-2 OST. The single for it is sold separately. The same applies for Charice's New World--the song is included in her Infinity album.

Ending theme of FINAL FANTASY XIII-2.

I prefer this one over its English counterpart 'New World' by Charice.

Obviously, I altered the pitch (so YouTube won't block it).

Buy Mai Fukui's album and support Final Fantasy XIII-2.

I will NOT upload the music file ANYWHERE.

Enjoy the TRUE full version! :)

Lyrics (from Facebook o_o):
Tatoeba anata ga, ima
Koko ni ita toshitara nani o tsutaeru deshou?

Kotoba mo nai mama, kitto
Sono mune ni hohoyose namida kobosudakete

Mou ichido dakiaetara
Nidoto hanarenuyou
Tsuyoku musubiau no
Sore ga kibou no hikari
Kitto~

Ai yo douka tsureteite
Yakusoku no basho e
Tsunagi aeta omoi wa eien dakara

Ai yo yonde kono ude ni
Dakishimeaeru nara
Donna mirai mo osoraenaide mukae ni yukeru
Hitomi wo mitsume kotae you
Anata no soba ni iru

Shizuka ni kokoro ga itta
Watashi wa koko ni irute anata wo aishiteru

Hanareteitatte zutto
Kawaranu kono omoi anata ni todoke you

Mou nani mo kowakunai yo
Donna kurayami demo
Terasu kono hikari wa
Itsuka anato no moto e
Kitto~

Ai yo douka tsureteite
Yakusoku no basho e
Soko e yuku yo chikai wa eien dakara

Ai yo yonde kono ude ni
Dakishimeaeru nara
Donna itami mo koete miseru hohoemi nagara
Hikari wa nidoto nakusanai
Kanarazu soko e yuku

Toki ga subete wo iyasu
Sore wo tada matsuyori
Ima wa arukidasou
Kaze ga yubisasu bashou de
Ashita ga matteru kitto~

Ai yo douka tsureteite
Yakusoku no basho e
Tada unazuki
Dakishimeaeru sono hi e

Ai yo douka tsureteite
Yakusoku no basho e
Tsunagi aeta omoi wa eien dakara

Ai yo yonde kono mune ni
Dakishimeaeru nara
Donna mirai mo osoraenaide mukae ni yukeru
Hitomi wo mitsume kotae you
Anata no soba ni iru

I love both versions! ^_^

Some people just have an innate preference for Japanese, which has to do with either loving the refreshing sound of a different language, or simply being exposed to it more. This song could have been sung by the exact same person in both languages (like Hikari from KH), but some will always prefer Japanese over English. This doesn't mean that one is better than the other. They are both incredibly beautiful songs. It's that simple. New World X Yakusoku no Basho :)

OMFG! No matter how many times you bash whichever version, it won't take away the fact that both versions are good. Just shut up already!

[BoneDaddy6938]

It's kind of odd listening to this after listening to nothing but the version by Charice. Gotta say that though I really like Charice's version I like this one even more. ^^

[Sensei3210]

This version flows smoother, but doesn't have the strong emotion that New World brings. In the New World, you can feel the emotions behind it, but the flowing is somewhat coarse. It really depends on what you prefer, better flow or stronger emotions.

Now if you really UNDERSTAND what they're saying, then you should know the reason why the song was created how it should be. No matter what, both versions are amazing in their own respective regions.

[RedStringsOfFate]

Didn't direct reply because I'm not here to argue.

But if people come on here saying that this song is better, then it is better for those individuals. If it weren't why would you still come and listen?

[RedStringsOfFate]

No. Pretty sure this one is better.

I don't think most of the people watching this are exposed more to Japanese. It's the entirety of this song, the desperation in her voice... The lyrics actually having slightly more meaning, and relating much more to the game than the other.

Granted, both are beautiful and in the end it's up to the preference of the individual. But I can tell you it's probably NOT because of the language.

Serah!!!

[JRxBoys]

WOW surprisingly I like both the English and Japanese version

@d1jal sad thing you forgot to mention is that half the viewers on this vid have never played the game :P
