With scans popping up all over the place, wouldn't it be better if there would come a general FFTA2 topic? (Like the Revenant Wings topic in the XII board) Just asking...

EDIT: I heard some info about laws and judges. 'Heard', means, I have no official source to confirm it. But still, it seems good stuff, so I'll post it anyway.

It appears that you can have a judge in your clan! If you summon the judge, you have to obey his laws. In return, the judge protects your characters from dying permanently after 3 turns (like in FFT). If you don't want to obey laws, that's fine, don't summon the judge. The laws of the judge you summon only apply to you, not your enemies. Your enemies of course, can also summon a judge on their side, but their laws do not apply to your team.

Looks like the book is back.

Indeed

*waits for info on new jobs*

This does indeed seem to be a most interesting game. I wish we would get some plot details soon. Since I can't read Japanese I have been able to discern very little about the game's storyline. Visually, it looks every bit as wonderful as its predecessor, and the larger scale enemy shown in one pic is a nice addition. Hopefully we'll get some new job classes, and special characters with the ability to jobchange.

Since new characters are being used, I'm guessing that the plot will pick up from the end of the first plot, not the end of the second, the way my sequel did (boo hoo, my idea was glorious). Two new youngsters obtain the book and get transported to Ivalice.

Of course, this raises a few interesting questions: First, how is Ivalice still there? It faded at the end of FFTA. If Ivalice it was recreated, why? Ivalice was formed with Mewt's dreams as a template. If two new children were to use the book, why would they be taken to someone else's dream world and not their own? If the book actually changed the world, rather than created a new world, why would it change the world back to the way it made things for Mewt when someone else used it?

Perhaps the book retains some tie to Mewt, and stays connected to his world. Or, it could be that each copy of the Gran Grimoire (according to the instruction manual, the copy Mewt found was not the only copy in the world) creates one world, and one world only, and from then on can only take people to and from that world. Maybe something else. I don't yet know enough to formulate a defensible position. But I'm looking forward to finding out more.

This game is taking too long to come out.

Upon viewing some of the scans closer, it looks like there are definitely some new classes, and I recognize several of the new monsters as enemies from FFXII... Oh, and is Luso carrying the Gran Grimoire around with him in Ivalice? Isn't that it attached to his belt? Most interesting...

Now that I looked closer, Luso is indeed carying a book around (looks like the Grimoire, it's almost certainly the grimoire). But I don't know about Adel. There aren't any screens with her in the 'normal' world up until now, unlike Luso, who we saw in the normal world from the very first scan. From the first character details about these two, it always seemed to me that Adel was from the 'fantasy' world...

BTW, I heard something about judges. I don't have an official source, but anyway, I'll tell you guys.

It appears that you can have a judge in your clan! If you summon the judge, you have to obey his laws. In return, the judge protects your characters from dying permanently after 3 turns (like in FFT). If you don't want to obey laws, that's fine, don't summon the judge. The laws of the judge you summon only apply to you, not your enemies. Your enemies of course, can also summon a judge on their side, but their laws do not apply to your team.

That is what I heard, but I can't confirm it. Still, if it's true, awesome.
