How many more days everyone??

13 days!

Anything regarding FFXII can be asked, discussed on this thread too!
Take this as our very own small little pre-release FAQ thread :P
We'll try to help as much as possible, from the characters' names to Gambits,
to the license board,
and to everything else in Final Fantasy XII.

And please, Please avoid from posting one-word posts. Thank you for your cooperation. I am also aware that there is a leaked version of Final Fantasy XII [NA]. Any discussion about the leaked game is prohibited and disciplinary action will be taken.

I think it's going to be a welcome change. You know, stir things up a little. Although im not sure about the blue an red lines indicating targets, may become a nuisance.  I guess time will tell, but im really looking forward to the new battle system.:wink:

About the red and blue lines, they can be quite messy, and most of the time, if you know what your leader is targeting, and if your Gambits are set in a way that the other party members will attack the leader's enemy, then it wouldn't be a problem, in fact, you can pretty much ignore the lines, because you know all three characters are aiming at the same target as the leader. :roll:

But, it'll be essential to try and look out for who the enemy is aiming for, which is quite simple, because, other than the red line [targeting at your 'going-to-be-attacked' character], the name of the character will also be highlighted in red, for easier reference.

and.....

:D:D 12 more days!! :D:D

It's $50 for the most part, unless you buy the Collectors Edition like I did, then it's $60.

they did turn away the turn based system in FFX-2 i think, with the Active Mode available. But, it's nothing like FFXII ! :D This is what they call Active Dimension Battle, and it looks really really good.

AND... !! ELEVEN 11 ELEVEN

11 ELEVEN MORE DAYS ! sooo cloose... sooo exciting..

Hmm... what kind of character do you think Vaan is like? Or, what kind of character do you hope he will be like?

You know its going to be refreshing to actually play a final fantasy from the start to end without knowing anything (well basically nothing). I have been replaying some of the older ffs to get me ready for 12, but man, I have played them so many times its hard to get into it when you know every plot twist and every little secret. Can't wait I tell yah's~

yeah, cool. FFXII doesn't have so much of an expectable storyline. But, even when there are certain points that the story can be predictable, they can be quite unexpectable, at the same time. Well, :| I don't know how to say it, but you'll know when you try it. :D Can't wait for the localized version, i wonder how everything turns out.

Well I think he will be like Tidus and Zidane (sort of a mix between both) just because that's what he looks like. And it's pretty damn annoying that FFXII won't be out in the UK until February next year :(

I will. I am planning on playing FFXII as well as watching any or all of the following films:

John Carpenter's The Thing
John Carpenter's The Fog
Alien
Stanley Kubriks The Shining
Silent Hill

Hell yes. I watched John Carpenter's Halloween last night. Such a great movie. All time classic. Best slasher flick ever. Very creepy. Love the theme
