Ok, so I've been going around fueling my FF addiction on the internet... Bite me. :P

Anyways, on FFOnline ((Which, if no one's noticed yet, is where I get all my FF info...)), has an estimated release date for the game in the US. Which is some time at the end of next year. Is it just me, or is Square just pumping out games left and right...?

From what I read in an article, FFXII takes place in Ivalice, which is the same place as in FFT:A. I also read that many of the races in FFT:A were originally designed for FFXII. ((Like the Bangaa.)) There are 2 main characters in the game, Vaan and Ashe. Vaan is a thief from the Dalmaska Kingdom, who dreams of becoming a sky pirate, while Ashe is the princess of Dalmaska. The game's producer, Yasumi Matsuno, also mentioned that the game may ship on 2 discs, there is no major love aspects ((Thank gods... :P )), and the game will be closer in style to Vagrant Story than previous games.

what's vagrant story like? is it a good thing that its like it?

I honestly have no idea. I've never played it. ...Or at least, I don't think I have... -sweatdrops- I can hardly remember many of the games I've played...

I've seen a few pictures and it looks beautiful..
Can't wait to see how it plays.. n_n
Mmm..a (hopefully) good RPG to take day after day of my life..Yay! =P

As for Vagrant Story, I've got it, but haven't played it yet so I can't really comment
as to what that would mean for FFXII. n_n;;;;

Well, I'm not sure if this'll help, but this is where I learned of FFXII: FFXII Info

As for it being like Vagrant Story, I think it'd be great, since Vagrant Story--although it's atmoshpere is dark and gloomy--was a good game. It's battle system was ok; I've never played Parasite Eve, but I heard that Vagrant Story's battle system is similar to that game.

Oh, Ok! Now I know what they mean... The battle system in FFX-2 is also somewhat similar to Parasite Eve's system. So FFXII is going to be more action-based rather than turn-based...

Yeah, it's something like that. They said that it was going to be similar to Vagrant Story's battle system, not exactly like it, so they might add some things to it that would probably make it turn-based...or something.... XD

XD VagrantStory is a really good game. cept there's alot of timing when it comes to hits in the battlesystem (think the hitting style of Dragoon, cept melo'd down alot). It's alot not complex and easy to get use to in VS.

XD if it's the same way as FFXII, its' all good. but, eh.. the faster they pump out games, I think the worse they're gunna turn out...

That's true, the more they rush a game, the worst it'll turn out (ie Harvest Moon 64); it'd have lots of errors and stuff that'd make the game a lot less interesting and fun.

As for FXII...no matter how bad it may (hopefully not) turn out to be, I'm still getting it! XD

They better not rush it... I want FFXII to be a good game and not some piece of crap...

Only thing about it that bothers me is that Uematsu is doing practically none of the music for 12. But on the otherhand, thats good in a way.. It allows him to spend his time perfecting the score for Advent Children.
