is there going to be a world map???

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Yeah, that's what I'd expect.

[catastrophycat01]

it would be better if there was a world map where you could manually fly to all the cities and towns than just going there automatically

If they’ve spent all this time making this damn game and HAVEN’T made an entire 1:1 scale world that can be traveled, I’m going to be pissed…

I thought that I heard that instead of the random encounters of monsters in 1 through 10-2 you fight monsters in the FFXI sence where u just go up and then attack. If this is true Id be extremely disappointed in this game. The random battles are the main source of experience in the other FFs so id like that to stay.

Im also for the world map since I felt a little cramped in FFX where i couldnt just wander around and try to find hidden secrets in the game like I do in FFVII on my gold choco.

Not to say FFX and X-2 were bad games cause i thought they were a close second to FFVII. but the lack of a world map just wasnt my style.

No World Map, I heard the Airships work in the same manner as FFXI, real-time ferries.

Prepare for extreme disappointment then.

Oh dear god, there not following the X syle again...? If its just X dressed up as something else, I'm finding a new series.

[Vincentsinnerdemon]

Well then if there isnt gonna be random battle incounters or a world map then its on my backlist of games to buy but its still yet to be released so il still buy it but maybe il wait about a year when the price will go down

I wasn't a real big fan of FFX's Pick a Location system. Instantly transporting to any given location via a list of commands meant the world felt more confined than one where you physically walk to your destination.

But I don't think it's really the new thing in RPG map systems, so I'm thinkin' I'll see a world map in FF12.

I gather that FFXII will just have the select a location

Based on what?

No screens, Square hasnt said anything, And FFXII is just around the bend.

Oh I get it! So it must be exactly like FFX!

[Wuggly Blight]

I think its the n00by X fans like to think that X was what FF is really about and thus all FF's will be like that.

[Dreddz]

All I said is that I dont think that FFXII will have a world map
And if im right, you lot can get down and kiss my shoes...............

Well, it's very impratical for it to have a world map as we know it, there's just no real way to make it work with a DVD disc, (unless they make it really bad representative graphics) it just would take up to much space if they were to make it any good.

So, either it will be somewhat like the FFX thing, or a new system all together...

[Sephiroths Clone]

Agreed World Maps just wouldnt work with the new battle system in which u can see the monsters now...theyd be everywhere on the map!
