The Official Final Fantasy XII Thread XD

[Pai Pai Master]

In September, Square Enix will reveal Final Fantasy XII to the public at the Tokyo Games Show. As we all know, the game is expected to be VERY different from previous installments, in terms of both story and gameplay. Of course, this means that there are chances that the usual themes of love and romance will be less prominent.

Also previously reported, Final Fantasy XII will use some gameplay features similar to that of Final Fantasy Tactics Advance. From promotional design sheets shown to the public earlier in the year, some of the character designs seem somewhat similar to that of FFTA. There's not a very big chance, but maybe the games are linked somehow?

Final Fantasy XII is being created by many of the same great developers as Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy IX, and Final Fantasy Tactics. Nobuo Uematsu also said that the visual style will be similar to Final Fantasy IX in the sense that it will be a great departure from early styles.

I'm REALLY looking forward to FFXII; It seems to be a good break from the normal games in the series.

Im really looking forward to it......in fact i was since it was announced.knowing its by the same group as FFT/6/7/9 and vagrant story im sure it is going to be a very good game.

i hope its release isnt TOO far down the road.although i dont want to not be playing FFXI because of it.

[Zach Imato]

lol great idea fro a thread pai, FFXII (wow 5 letters...) does look pretty cool in the sense that it is going to be different. Although i'd say most of the FF story lines have been different from each other, there were still elements that were the same in all of the storylines (ex. crazy psychotic cool evil dude {or giant fish} trying to merge with, destroy or otherwise do something with the free world)

but i think I'll enjoy a FFT style game. Something real different.

Nice sig Calendil

[Calendil]

they better have Mog in it.....or ill be mad :mad:
yeah i made my sig as a joke.
but they can have a world of legos or cheese.....i dont care just have mog in it!......ooo or playable like FF6

Hmm..I've tried Tactics and didn't like some of the features of it. I still hope it's great though.

Moogles are awesome, i dont know why they never had them play a role in the actual story ever since FF6. FFVII only had that one mini-game, FFIX had the mogs deliver mail and FFX all they had was mog as a weapon for lulu. we do need more moogles

[Nameless]

LOL I like that mini - game, I put down the sexy moves on that female moogle. Seems like it will be good if FFT didn't > me I would actually try to beat it, I like the system of it, but I get pissed off when some punk throws rocks at me and then a Black Mage uses fire >_<, SO mad. I also get mad when I can't revive one of my characters in time or something or I don't have a Phoenix Down, I lose them forever ;-;. But FFTA might be different than FFT.

i know this is an old pic but its relivent for the topic.

[tyrusion]

hey looks great cant wait to buy it

[snake868]

As long as the main character doesn't have a supid tail like Zidane I'm fine with this game.

[Shadowed]

They say it's going to be Sci-Fi like FFVII, so maybe that'll make y'all happy, lol.

Another FFXII pic.

Edit: Wow, this picture was made before the merger! I noticed the Square Co. thing on the bottom left corner.

Edit by Pai Pai Master: This image was never confirmed to be official or not, so it isn't completely known. Most people believe it to be a fraud, but there are always chances that it is in fact legitimate. Personally, I think its a fake; because as Uematsu said, the visual style won't look like that. I have a feeling the character designs will look nothing like that at all.

Edit by Shadowed: Oh, ok then. I've had it for a while on my computer, haven't really looked at the reviews on the picture, lol.

Edit by AKosygin: No, this picture is a fake.

[Corran Horn]

I cant wait to see ingame pictures! and maybe a movie!

[Pai Pai Master]

*bumpage*

TGS is in 2 days, and in those 2 days we may be seeing FFXII on a full scale!

I can't wait!

EDIT: Oops, my bad ^_^ TGS is on the 26th. So, not 2 days, but more like 6! (but now it's 5)

[Nameless]

I just realized that it will be another thing I can't afford >_<.

[rpgmage]

I pray that FFXII wont be sci fi! Im just tired of that! FFVII and FFVIII was enough! I hope its more like FF6 and FF9! Cmon just one more traditional FF!
