I know its way too early for speculating about this but I have to ask: Who do you guys think should do it? The overwhelming response is probably going to be either (A) Utada Hikaru or (2) some whiny emo band that nobody cares about, I know, but I'm still posting this in hopes that someone will actually give a decent, original answer.
Anyways, I think they should get someone else. Hikaru just isn't that good anymore, and, with a darker setting, they need someone who can bring in something heavier.
If they want to go with J-Pop, Squeenix doesn't need to look any further than Ayumi Hamasaki. She's got a much better voice than Utada, she's able to insert raw emotion into her lyrics, and her backup band is superb at bringing in a edgy rock sound into her music, perfectly blending it with her pop vocals. The only real problem with this is she hardly ever sings in English, which means they'd have to get someone else for the international release.
Anyways, your thoughts.
