I hope they get her makeup right

Oompa Grande

 

[Koozek]

Why are people asking this?

I don't remember people asking if GACKT is an FF fan when it was announced that he'd be in Dirge of Cerberus and Crisis Core: FFVII.

I thought I remembered her saying once that she was a FF fan, but maybe I'm mistaking her for another Pop singer.

 

[Dark Ninja]

Man why some people try to act so hard?
By any meanings Ariana it's a shitty artist. She probably has one of the best voices on mainstream music (Not far from what Mariah Carey used to do). It's like saying the Weeknd it's shit just because it appeal to bast majority of the people.

And to be honest, if you don't know who she is, either you don't go out of your home often or you leave in a nutshell with no internet cause it's not possible to not know who she is if you are somehow interested in music (even if it's indie or similar).

I don't care about much of the mainstream artist and just by searching for my underground rappers, rock bands or mc's albums and info I cross path with most of their names...

Especially on GAF where there used to be those legendary creepy Gif threads of her and Victoria Justice on the Nickelodeon show. Maybe they just need to post more gifs of her with the red hair.

 

[Aomber]

She's been pretty vocal about being an anime fan in the past so it's likely something she genuinely wanted to do

Good for her. Also you might not like her music, fair enough, she's not trying to target you, but she's got loads of talent

 

[kitchenmotors]

I see lots of people in here are seething at something relevant happening to Final Fantasy since Faye Wong.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

Do paying these stars ludicrous amounts to promote your game actually work? Everytime I hear about this company some fuckery is going on.

People are talking about it now. I didn't even know it existed until this thread.

 

[Damerman]

Who?

U cant be serious...

 

[Caim]

LOL. Imagine the drop rate for her though.

 

[Irishonion]

Couldn't last more than a week in that game.

 

[NolbertoS]

Man, seeing all the "Who" replies from GAF doesn't help the gamer stereotypr of being outta touch with reality. Next thing you know, GAF will tell me that they don't know who Drake is.

Surpeised SE would pay Ariana grande to advertise their game with her character, as if they needed more advertising on the game

 

[TalonJH]

I lived in Japan for yeeeeears and never heard of her popping up. The only time I ever read/heard about her was US stuff.

Also, this thread is killin' it!

What years is important. She hasn't been around that long.

Sure, I'm not a fan of hers but her bringing the game into headlines has reminded me that the game exist and i'm kind of interested in downloading it.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

That's not fair. They were seething at Conan trashing FFXV not too long ago.

 

[Megawarrior]

Ooh love her. This is pretty cool... I wonder if she has played any of the FF's.

 

[Muku]

2007 to 2015. I imagine she would have been relevant in between there somewhere.

Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach (miss Universe) is a huge FF fan, she was even invited to Uncovered XV but couldn't go. Maybe you are thinking about her

Of course we know who Drake is.

Ludonarrative dissonance much?

 

[yunbuns]

I'm not either, but this 80s fan remix is fucking dope though.

Not a pop singer but Lupita Nyong'o likes FFVIII.

Man she is stupid popular in Japan… well Tokyo area at least…
I just want to know how this happened. Is she a huge FF fan?

Why gamers? I know many people that don't know who she is or maybe heard about her and forgot. And they were not people that play videogames.

Too much is never enough!

 

[Jonnax]

It's kinda funny at the reactions here.

Final Fantasy is no way near as relavent today as Ariana Grande.

Any FF video getting 900 million views on YouTube? (https://youtu.be/iS1g8G_njx8)

The equivalent in magnitude for the gaming world might be Call of Duty doing a promotional deal with some Vita only RPG.

GAF loves Drake. He's the star of their GOTY after all.

Oh shit, Lupita good people.

She's even a FF character in her clips:

Wow, where is this from?

Lupita !! <33333

She knows what's up with the Best Final Fantasy.

 

[kitchenmotors]

Ariana Grande is a huge Final Fantasy fan. She loves Yuna.

 

[TalonJH]

2007 to 2015. I imagine she would have been relevant in between there somewhere.

Wiki says that her first world our wasn't til 2015. 2015 is about when I first heard of her honestly but I'm old.

 

[Kayhan]

Ariana Grande is a huge Final Fantasy fan. She loves Yuna.

She looks a lot cuter here with less makeup.

 

[Kusagari]

Not a pop singer but Lupita Nyong'o likes FFVIII.

Might have to reevaluate my opinion on Lupita now that I know she likes the worst FF game.

 

[The Last One]

Wow, where is this from?

It's from an old video clip:

How long till Ariana Grande character DLC for FFXV?

Of course I know who Drake is, I've played all the games except the one for Vita.

Spoiler

I haven't heard a single Drake song.

This is one of those things that you don't really think about, but when you learn of its existence, it actually isn't that surprising lol

Shocked that ppl dont know who Ariana Grande is.This is cinge-worthy nonetheless though

All the rude comments. Neogaf is full of woman haters.

I remember hearing about her during her Disney (Or was it Nickelodeon? I never can keep the stars from these two separate these days.). Guess she's been recently sucking up to Japan then. Sadly left Japan end of Feb 2015. So probably before she hit the road. Glad I didn't have to deal with that then. (Though came back to freaking Yokai Watch.. god damn can't avoid that shit.)

[xzeldax3]

She dropped the ball.

Oh shit

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

You must have played like only three FF games VIII is in no way, shape, or form the worst FF game when Dirge of Cerberus and All the Bravest exists.

 

[kitchenmotors]

How is this cringe-worthy?

Square has a history of working with pop stars with the Final Fantasy franchise, in many different capacities, from soundtracks, to voice acting, to having whole games almost devoted to them. This doesn't seem out of left field and the costume fits within this game in the franchise.

 

[kyser73]

I haven't heard a single Drake song.

Not even his whiny little bitch song, Hotline Bling?

Hey, OldGAF, here she is singing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" at an event at the White House. https://youtu.be/uiSUlWyeslY
