I don't know if this has already been adressed, but here goes....does anybody know if the story to XII will have anything to do with the stories in either FFTactics or FFTAdvance? I know it is set in the same world and shares many of the same races and the like, but I really hope that XII doesn't tie in to either of those games' stories. I tried to play Tactics once and I got so horribly confused with the storyline in the first hour or so that I put it down forever and vowed never to play it again. Sure, I don't mind intricate storylines, but it's kind of stupid to throw the player into the middle of something in the first hour of a game without hardly any explaination that makes any sense.
I really want to like XII.....really, I do....but from what I've read about the story so far, I'm less than optimistic. The story sounds like it's terribly convoluted. Any information would be great.
