Ariana Grande (hugely famous musician) joins the battle in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

some observations...

oh god popgaf is here

either gaf is full of old people or edgelords who think they get cool points for not knowing who she is (you don't). maybe step outside of that self-absorbent bubble once in a while? I don't give a fuck about her music and I know full well who she is. hell, even a quick google search would have told you everything you need to know.

and L.M.A.O at Nirolak's edit to the OP. It speaks volumes.

That should be an ongoing trend/joke, whenever someone wants to make a thread about a celebrity, just add a quick excerpt from their Wikipedia page

Like honestly, Google her and you'll see that she's an actor, wonderful singer, and has been on Broadway
 
The mix of PopGAF and people who don't know who Ariana Grande is is pretty funny.

I mean, if you're American and under 35, I'd feel like you'd need to try really hard to avoid the pop culture saturation of certain people like her.

*Looks through thread*

Wow, she was one of those characters in a Nick Sitcom......no wonder why she looked familiar. The only Nick Sitcoms I enjoyed were 'Drake & Josh' and 'iCarley'. Honestly never listened to her music outside of looking her up after seeing this announcement. Personally don't like pop music much but she has a nice voice.

Her sprites for the game look fantastic through and match the Final Fantasy style I think, so even if her inclusion is a bit strange, at least she matches the rest of the cast. She also helped out with a vocal track for FFXV as well, so I guess this was when the idea for her to appear in this game originated.

Lol

:l. Is it wrong to think that the sprite they made for her looks nice? It honestly does match with the rest of the cast. But that is just my opinion and stuff.

I think it looks cool. Her being in some FF thing is kind of weird but it never hurts to bring someone who is popular in to your game.

Love all the people in this thread pretending they don't know who she is. They must not be exposed to actual pop-culture that often.

Weird. How is the game?

Game's good. Least offensive Gatcha games I've ever played, haven't spent a dime in the game and I have good units and resources and stuff. Story's good as well and the art is fantastic. Game's sprites and animations are pretty as heck.

I hope the people disgusted about this have the same feeling about the abhorant product placement in FFXV......

But no just cause she's a pop star in a mobile final fantasy game y'all hatin.
 
Cant believe that thread title edit was necessary. Lol

She's a dime-a-dozen pop star. I find it funny there are so many people blown away by her not being some household name. I have to listen to pop stations all day at work and don't think I've ever heard a single one of her songs, though I am aware of who she is.

lol yes, this needs to happen. and then ban any fool who posts "who?"

or better yet, just simply tag them: "edgelord"

oh yeah, those posts better; the passive-aggressive ones implying she has no talent. She's a great singer even if I don't really care for her content.

You've heard her if you have to listen to the radio at work. Currently "Side to Side" is her one song on the radio. If your stations are as bad as mine you probably hear it once an hour but tune it out. That said, your station, like mine, probably doesn't bother paying someone to introduce the next couple of songs or say what they just played so you have no idea who you're actually listening to.

Saying you listen to pop stations all day at work and have never heard an Ariana Grande song is by far the most unbelievable thing posted in this entire thread.

I clicked a link to that one someone posted and had never heard it before. I'll say, though, all the stations around here (central Illinois) fucking suck. It's 90% Taylor Swift and Katy Perry.

I've only clicked a couple inks here, but so far nothing. Remembering songs is like my super power, too. If I've even heard it once, I'll recognize it.

Edit: okay, I've heard Bang Bang.

Dime a dozen pop stars can't sing well typically. Ariana is a fantastic singer, can't project, but she can sing. She is a household name mate. Hate to tell you.

I swear, I don't like her music but she is one of the most talented artists out there vocally.

Before I entered, I was wondering why a description of her was needed, then I read the "who?" posts, entertaining thread

Ah, ok.

See, where I live she's lumped in the Hip Hop/R&B station but I just consider it pop now because, well, that's what's popular. Then again, I don't think this HH/R&B station plays much R&B. Oh how music's changed. I hate the station with a passion.

Assuming your station at least cycles through Taylor Swift and Katy Perry songs I'd love to trade you places, I can't stand hearing the same song over and over.

I find it hard to understand the existence of my local station considering it's small play list versus what the seemingly general trend of more music everywhere else.
 
I know for fact at least like half of you guys are forcing yourselves to act like you don't know who she is to look cool. I know this cause I literally used to do this thinking it made me look cool as shit. Lol

The cavalry has arrived! She's gorgeous, and very talented. Saw her on hairspray live not too long ago, she is everywhere right now and it's well deserved.

I don't think she wrote music for XV

But I do agree the sprites are nice. Grande and FF are a great match

Just for reference sake, I'm old as fuck, don't listen to pop music, I listen to sports talk radio or the metal station here, don't have Spotify, nor did I watch Nikelodeon after like the Salute Your Shorts era. I don't have kids. I don't watch much TV.

Even I know who Ariana Grande is.
