In terms of story, gameplay, character development, and graphics, FFXII will absolutely crush FFVII. So in that sense, it will surpass FFVII. It will not surpass FFVII in terms of the effect it had on the RPG genre because the modern RPG genre owes everything to FFVII and its debatably deserved legacy. FFXII is entering the fray in a developped genre so it technically can not surpass the title that made that market mainstream. That is unless the next bach of RPGs all try to mimic FFXII's gameplay system (meaning how the battles are played out). The liscense system of skill learning is really just a modified version of the Digital Devil Saga 2 version of learning skills.Gorman7147
The new battle system may very well signal the dawn of a new era in RPG's in a manner simliar to how FFVII changed the genre. I am, however, a little disappointed from what I've heard about the "License Board" so far. It just seems like a modified sphere grid from FFX. Either way, I think FXII's contributions to the genre will not soon be forgotten once it is finally released in the US.
I think its a good idea to send out a mass e-mail to the general membership as well so that everyone is aware, and no one complains about not knowing that this vote took place.
Yes! This is an important step in the Union movement on Gamespot. Has FFJunkie been around (our illustrious leader)? Maybe he could send out a union wide message?
Hands down, my favorite part in the film was Cloud's battle with the three stooges ( :P )in the Forgotten City. Not only was the fight great by itself, the song that was played during the scene really got me into the conflict. The Sephiroth fight was cool too, but I would have appreciated it more if it was 2-3 minutes longer and had a little more dialogue...other than that, I enjoyed it.
