weber_dubois22Final Fantasy XII-2's theme is called “Yakusoku no Basho” and “New World”, with the former song being released on November 23rd. The Japanese PS3 and 360 version's will get both Mai Fukui and Charice themes, while international (or western) PS3/360 releases will simply get Charice's theme. The song’s single album (available November 23rd in Japan) will unlock a bonus item in the game.
