-Battle: People seem to be complaining about the battle system and how it was boring in the demo. I didn't play the demo, but trust me, it's soooo much better than random encounters. And the fact that you can move around in battle is just impressive. All the places have this expansive feel to it because each area is HUUUUGE. Just to see, I played FFX after playing FF12 for a week, and the whole random encounter thing just seemed so stupid. Don't worry guys, FFXII's battle can't get any better. OH, and where do I begin to describe the sweet boss battles. God, i love this game...
-Story: Just wait until November guys and watch the 8-minute opening movie. The story is too good. And for those who are worrried, FFXII is NOT a mission-based game. (Damn FFX-2...)
-Graphics: Has anyone played Metal Gear Solid 3 or Zone of the Enders 2? Expect similar quality of graphics. One of the best I've seen on the PS2. In fact, in some cut-scenes, you wonder if it's really in real-time.
-Hmm... what else? I guess the most impressive thing about this flawless game is the presentation. The graphics are top-notch. The characters actually move naturally (cough cough FFX...) and lip-synch (at least in the Jap version) is nice (and minor detail... real-time shadows.) In the end, I want to just say that the strictest japanese magazine gave it perfect 10s (only given to 5 or 6 other games in the whole history of vidgames). Trust me, this final fantasy is perhaps the best final fantasy.
