The Official Final Fantasy XII Thread XD

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XII Thread XD

I will say that some people will not care for the game. They have gone pretty much mainstream and tweaked the game more for mass appeal. But being the FF fanatic that I am, I will still buy it and play it. I whined when I played the JP FFX too but I got over it and enjoyed it. Heck I even bought FFX-2! /groan! I'm sure some of the whiners for this version will get over it but you'll always have the purists pissing and moaning.

I agree it's trying to appeal to more gamers than just the hardcore FF fans, but at the same time I think the story will seperate it from the superficial mainstream appeal of say, FFX-2. The story is actually pretty dark and complicated >.> As probably mentioned before it's very similiar along the lines of Vagrant Story and or FF Tactics in that there's a lot of deception, betrayel, crime, things like that.

It's been a long time since I've truely anticipated an RPG. Infact I can't even recall the last that I actually followed and looked forward to it's release like I have with FFXII. After playing it two years ago at E3 and watching the 5 or so videos they had, I was hooked since then. While I'm willing to wait if it means the game will be better, I just wish it were alrady out ; ;

FFX12 official Japanees release

Its official. in japan there are 2 adverts runnign with a release date for FFX12 to be released in Japan on 16th March. this article just in on IGN.

Final Fantasy XII Commercials
Two commercial spots for the upcoming epic.
by Anoop Gantayat
February 28, 2006 - The biggest Japanese game of 2006 is destined to be Final Fantasy XII, the first real Final Fantasy game since FFX arrived on the PlayStation 2 some four years ago. The title is so big that even though it's not due out for a couple of weeks, Square Enix has already started airing commercials on Japanese television!

We captured two of the spots and have uploaded them for all to see. One spot is set to instrumental music, with the other featuring the game's theme song, as performed by the super mega hot Angela Aki. Both run fifteen seconds in length.

You can download both commercials in our video section below. We'll have much more on FFXII as its 3/16 Japanese release approaches.


the 2 comercials are availiable to watch on IGN. The second comercial has a song track backing it, which i beleive to be coherant with FF since 8 where all FF's have had a song in them, and it sounds very good.

Re: FFX12 official Japanees release

I finished watching a 10 min video of in game footage. Read up on it even more in the last few days. With my bias for FFT and Vagrant Story, I'm going to declare FFXII as mmy favorite RPG. As well as the best RPG ever made. Ever. ...Ever. lol

Sorry grandmom, I was still half asleep, jut lvoe the soundtrack (ell the clip of it) FF has revolutionised games with their full film style music scores and chart topping songs (well in japan anyway) I still love 1000 words, Eyes on me, Distant worlds and Melodies of life (have I missed any?) all on my Itunes at home and work.... any way I can't wait till it gets here in the uk hmmmm I'm moving to japan LOL

Re: FFX12 official Japanees release

God I hope they are gentle with you UK folk and release it within weeks of the US getting it. ; ; I have a couple of friends that live in Europe and I send them games all the time because they get them so darn late over there. Just makes me feel bad for all of you.

Tell the Queen that she should make it Royal Law that they change their format from PAL to NSTC. At least, that's the only thing I can think of that delays releases to the EU (It's a pretty lame reason to, I know...)

Re: FFX12 official Japanees release

hmmm turn to NTSC, no thanks, the PAL system has more lines than NTSC and we get better picture quality (don't know how it compares to Japanees SECAM though) I have a TV capable of playing both PAL and NTSC and all my NTSC videos are lower quality than PAL ones. I just wish SE realises that there is as huge a following for the FF series in Europe as in the US, so why can't we get it same time as them?

Re: The Official Final Fantasy XII Thread XD

You can pre-order the original soundtrack now from various importers. I already put my pre-order in the minute I received a notice from my vendor. $42 including shipping, the OST boasts over 100 tracks and first-edition pressings are limited, with a nice liner and mini book.

Just looking at the OST and you already see how great this game will be!
