You want FFTA2 details? Here they are.

[Zeromus_X]

Yes. There's Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2 for the DS, and a remake/port of Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP, called Final Fantasy Tactics: The Lion War (voice acted anime cutscenes, additional playable characters and classes, etc).

[Psychotic]

Any confirmation of Seeqs being in A2 yet? I like those little(!) guys.

Here are some scans from a Japanese magazine (probably Famitsu). Bunch o' pics.

Apparently that Rebe (if it is one) is Cid. He's supposed to be a clan leader helping Luso to get home.

[Fynn]

Wow... Lhuso actually appeares in Ivalice in his pijamas - cool!

Anyway, Elpizo, how do you know that's Cid?

Since the official site now confirmed it, together with the new moogle character Hardy (who's rumored to be a bard). ^^

Also, the official site now has a trailer of the game, check it out, for it's quite cool IMO! The spell effects looks as stunning as the ydid in the original FFT and did I say that that Totema animation spread out over both screens is just plain awesome?

Right, I believe you now...

So... Is it just me or did the Gamespot people call the Cockatrice a nasty kind of Chocobo?

[Suiko Jin]

Can't wait for this game to come out! So much Tactic greatness coming my way!

Did anyone else notice the really fascinating thing about that awesome, dual screen Totema? That was Hashmal, Bringer of Order. Hashmal was an Esper from FFXII, but was not a Totema from the original FFTA. So either they are replacing the Totema from FFTA, which I think is doubtful, or they are giving us at least one new one.

While I like Hardy, I'm not a big fan of the new Cid.

Also, it seems we have ramps now, not just different levels of flat terrain.

He's probably the Totema of a new race, maybe the Seeq race or Cid's race (if his race will be playable). But we know there will be new races playable, together with new jobs. And those races need a Totema.

IGN: Interview: Final Fantasy Tactics A2

First, seeing as FFXII players already know what a Seeq is, there would be no harm in showing a Seeq in either a screen or the trailer, so i don't think they'll be in it, and Cid (expect for the long nose) seems to be a Hume.

Anyway, the interview said that you'd see Jobs from FFXII, not Races, so i guess we'll be seeing some completly new races.

Some other things to think about in the trailer:

1. Is it just me, or was the teacher in the first bit of the trailer the teacher from the first game? This makes me think that Luso also comes from St. Ivalice. I don't know what else this means, other then that the two storys would be set very close to each other timewise (from St. Ivalices perspective), but if this is true, you might see Marche. It could even be him that gives Luso the Gran Grimoire!

2. Are those things in what seems to be the first battle scene (just after it says Luso) Rouge Tomartos from FFXII?

3. Hardy looks like Hurdy from FFXII, the Moogle that operates one of the Mooglings.

4. In the second screen where they are showing the races, there seem to be a few new Jobs. That Bangaa looks like an Aviator of sorts, and the Hume looks like a Samari.

5. Just after that bit, it looks like there may be a glimse of a new race. Im not sure, but there is what seems to be a fat moogle with a blade on is head speaking (you can see his portrait). I dunno if thats just a deformed member of an existing race, or a monster or what, i just thought i'd point it out.

6. There do indeed seem to be ramps.

Thats everything i could spot.

Cid really isn't a hume. He looks more like those things that always escorted Marquis Ondore, a Rebe.

And about point 5, that was a Seeq, me thinks. The interview did say they would be adding new races. I think you overlooked it.

Murasawa: We have added some new jobs that you might remember from FFXII, and we have added additional races as well. Please pay attention to some of the first screenshots released in Japan, because there's a big hint in them.

Reading the Gamespot report, it seems I was wrong. Hashmal is not a Totema. It appears that he is one of the creatures that summoners can call upon now.

Gamespot could be wrong, too. In the trailer, I saw the normal summon 'Unicorn', with just a slightly different animation than FFTA. And then all of the sudden a summoner would call upon a beast so "Woah"ing? Maybe, maybe not. Like you said, Hashmal was an Esper in FF XII, all other Totema were Espers as well in XII. I think he is a Totema and Gamespot just messed it up. After all, his animation looks quite Totema-ish, no? We'll see, we'll see...

Yes, i know. I think you may have misunderstood me. What they say in the interview is that (if you take the text literally) there will be Jobs from FFXII, and some new races (not nessicarally from FFXII). So what i meant when i said:

Anyway, the interview said that you'd see Jobs from FFXII, not Races, so i guess we'll be seeing some completly new races.

Was that whilst we may be seeing jobs from FFXII, the Races possiblly arn't from FFXII.
