It was set for Feb. in Japan, but it go pushed back some more. I don't know when they mean to get it out now.
You all have to remember that Square listens to every fan and what every fan wants. Some fans, like me, loved the intense, fast-paced combat style of FFX-2, while others like the slightly slower, yet still fun, battle styles from FFV(? I forget if IV had the ATB) on. Square was astonished at the reaction to Kingdom Hearts and thought that they should bring the FF series that way. If you all just look closely at the screenshots, and you don't have to look all that hard :rolleyes2, you'll see that there's an ATB. You choose one character to control in real-time and the others will be attacking/healing/whatever when their ATB gauge fills up. There. Happy now? Square is appealing to the senses of all by actually mixing traditional combat with real-time combat.
Though, I do always enjoy the battles in FF's, with an exception of FFX, I play them for the deep stories, which only 1, so far, has failed to do(I'm not saying which, just to keep this on track. No one go, "Dude, WTF?! What game r u takkn bout?!?!?!1/!?!?!?" Or start an entire debate, if you know what game I'm talking about). You can argue all you like, but the fact of the matter is that the battles in every FF tend to become repetitive. What keeps people going? Why, the plotlines, of course! Square is also a mastermind with eye candy, so people keep going to see cut-scenes, as well. If an FF had a story like GTA's, I highly doubt that people would actually enjoy even 2 hours of it.
:monster2: One, AH! AH! Two, AH AH! Three, AH AH!
i,m really worried i,m gonna hate ffXII. but thats because i despise both ffX-2 and Kingdom Hearts combat. still i cant pre-judge yet. i was convinced i,d hate ffX. the demo did not help its cause either. but in the end i loved the game.
i guess i,ll just have 2 wait and see if i think ffXII combat will be evolution, something different or the start of a horrible death.

Hmmm..... I actually like FF games for their combat....
Actually, this combat system looks almost exactly like the one from Star Ocean 2. I hope they manage to keep it distinct.
