Why am I not looking forward to this game
I took one look at FFXII and got bored...the characters look the same as every other hero/female (Ashe is a cross between Yuna and Aeris, Vaan well...has there ever been an original FF hero or heroine). The names are getting suckier and suckier, and somehow the story doesn't interest me......what's wrong with me???? I cannot possibly be feeling this...noooo....
Just because X was bad and X-2 was badder doesn't mean this one will be o.o...

Eh, I'm not gonna bash the game. Its a personal taste thing to me. I doubt it'll suck. I just don't think it'll be for me. I don't dig the look either. It bores me as well. There's kind of a light almost pastelle look to it. 9 felt the same way. Everything was so light. And I guess 8 was too. 10 had real and vibrant colors. But maybe that has something to do with why 6 and 7 were my favorites. They weren't afraid to be dark. But I'm not so shallow to completely dismiss a game on a color scheme. Though honestly I haven't been interested in a Final Fantasy for a while. So its no real surprise this one didn't exactly catch my interest. Another pretty-boy hero. Another pretty world. And sadly, I have a thing against the people behind Tactics and CC. And this game has had people from both teams. But like I said I'm not here to bash it. The battle system really interests me. And I know nothing of the story. More than likely I'll buy it on the cheap, depending on what I hear about it. But I won't feel left out if I miss out on it. I'm just not a fanboy. I just happened to thoroughly enjoy a few previous Fantasys :D My stance on this game is hope for the best, prepair for the worst. Its harsh, but its REALLY hard for any company to make a game I like anymore. Its not just FF that I've fallen out of. There hasn't been a gem in my gaming collection for a long while. I don't think this one will change that. But we shall see
Rent it and see if you care for it. If not, meh.
By the time this game comes out, I will have probably lost interest in the series…
real-time battle system...*pukes out heart*....
i think ill be okay...though i cant help feeling like this may be the final ff game....i hope not...though it would help out my clock theory...:rolleyes2
I don't know; your reasons for not looking forward to it seem pretty shallow. The characters look the same, yes, but ALL FF characters, since FF started using more advanced graphics, look similar. Tifa, Rinoa, Garnet and Yuna all look similar; Cloud, Zidane and Tidus all looked similar. That didn't mean that the characters didn't have their own personalities. And, for the record, I think Panelo, Balfrear (however the heck we're spelling that guy's name nowadays) and Basch have pretty fresh, original looks.
And their names? That affects their character/depth even less than their looks do.
As for it being "too bright," I'm not sure where that comes from. Some of the brighter, tropical areas are certainly colorful, but I think, overall, this game is darker than 9 and 10.
I agree. I just hope XII will be great...I was horrified to find out I wasn't interested in X, and that I actually shunned an FF game (X-2)Originally Posted by xAerisx

Its not shallow. If the atmosphere isn't appealing, its hard to get into the game. I'm still on a wait-and-see basis. I haven't officially formed an opinion. But I think my guess is pretty educated, considering I know my tastes, and a lot of the factors going into this game. Those characters may be similar, but they're different enough. And the direction they're going doesn't appeal to me. They're getting way too soft for my tastes. The atmosphere and characters have gotten less and less gritty with each installment. Though I can't exactly make a valid argument, 'cause I don't feel like standing here in the FFXII forum, making praise over other Final Fantasys just to make points and examples.

This game will be absolute ace. I pretty much like all FF games. Thats not say I wasn't slightly dissapointed of FFX-2 but I still played through most of the game. X was ace too. Each FF brings something new and sometimes there are dramatic changes, which is what I love about the series. So I have no worries here...
Might have to buy a PS2 again just to play this game
Vaan - "Hey, you!"
Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
Fran - "....We could help...."
Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

I have high hopes for FFXII
Its Square Enix's first bold step in the series ( X-2 dont count )
Real-time systems are great, and much more fast paced and fun if done correctly
But I'm not looking forward to the game though, since I don't have the console it's for yet
not that i dont like real time battle systems, i just dont think it belongs to an ff game. (although ffXI broke most traditions...)
itll still make a kajillion bucks (it is an ff game after all)
i guess ill stop complaining and see how it goes...although the fanboy in me is always nagging...
