[BlackWaltz]

Yep its the release day of Final Fantasy XII in the UK today and my copy has not arrived from play.com yet! (Although i did leave it a bit late to order it ) but im hoping it will be here in the morning.

Just wanted to know who got their copy today and how the feel about the game?

Mine arrived from Amazon this morning. So far so good, good graphics and the customisation system will be fun (kind of got a ffx sphere grid feel to it).

[Fynn]

Got it this morning as well. Loving every minute of it - pure awesomeness!

Mine arrived from Amazon this morning too But my parents were out so no one recieved it (I send stuff from Amazon to my folks' place rather than mine ), I gotta go pick it up from the post office tomorrow

I'm just going to play IX until then.

i got it from amazon this morning.
great game, but i'm worried i got too far- but i'm only level 11 for vaan.
At the second imprisonment, is anyone that far?

[Pure Strife]

Got home at 6 and started, it's now gone 12 and I've been off it an hour or so. Pretty good. The dungeon I'm on seems to have dragged on a bit though. But still really entertaining.

Hang in there, it gets a lot better after Barheim dungeon

I finally managed to pick it up today, and am trying to keep an open mind on it, but its making me feel ill... This happens on other games too when the camera doesn't have a fixed perspective, but its the first FF to bring on this effect. I'm sad now

I ordered it off ebay and I got it on wednesday morning.

I got mine on Thursday. I preordered it from Gameplay.co.uk and they have a habit of getting preorders to me a day before they're released. I'm already about 17 hours into the game. Done a lot of fighting - you can't not fight really because of how the world map travelling works. I'm at the Tomb of Raithwall currently. Note that I'll be past that most likely by about 5 hours by tomorrow afternoon (depending on whether I play it before I go to bed tonight or not - most likely I will be).

got it today, not played yet...

Thanks for all the replies guys.

I got mine this morning! Started playing this afternoon and i am very impressed! The graphics are very nicely detailed and the cut scenes are great. I love the the battle system! Its the first final fantasy where i actually want to keep getting into fights. The licence board looks very interesting although i dont know what character i want to assign certain licences to. I was thinking frann as a healer, but i says shes a master of weapons, or does that not even matter?

Another thing i was wondering, do you all use the gambit system? becuse at the moment im just fighting manually. Althought i am still very early in the game. Ashe has just joined the party.

[Mirage]

I think you should at least let a few of the most common actions be put on gambits. Such as attacking stuff that attacks themselves or allies. That way that person's turn won't be wasted if you're a bit slow on giving a command.

[BlackWaltz]

Yeah sorry i didnt mean that. I have left the rest of the party on default, i have not turned their gambits off. So yes they do attack auto after i attack. I just have not customised the gambits as i dont really competly understand it yet. As for the licence board, does it matter which character assign different licences to? aka frann as a white mage? (frann ftw, shes hot, must be a playboy bunny thing )
