Does Bon Jovi Add Anything To Final Fantasy? Judge For Yourself

The latest Japanese television ads for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers features the music stylings of New Jersey rockers Bon Jovi. The ads are short (16 seconds or so), and there are three of them so far.

They’re so short that it’s hard to make out the Bon Jovi song. I checked out after that Young Guns soundtrack, so I’m not the best person to ask! Maybe there’s a longer version of this ad — hopefully. The tune, however, is “We Weren’t Born to Follow”, which is off the band’s latest album.

Square Enix could’ve used any sample from pretty much any rock song to the same effect. But, hey, Bon Jovi, no?

Know what does add to this Final Fantasy Wii game? Three words: Laser cow udders.

  • Perhaps it’s simply because I’m so used to hearing japanese background music with these kinds of things, but it doesn’t quite seem to fit, in my opinion.

  • It’s being used because Bon Jovi is crazy huge in Japan, hence why cross promoting their new song with this game makes sense.

    Game looks rather cool too might I add!

  • Zomg Crystal Chronicles will have an actual storyline!
