    Default The opening was leaked?

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=G4XtVj4BW...NTASY%20XII%20

    Warning: I didn't watch this movie myself, because I don't want to spoil it. If you're like me, you may want to do the same.


    Basically, it's the opening 7 minute movie to Final Fantasy XII and for some reason, it found its way onto the net.

    Did anyone else know about this?

    EDIT: Wait, does me posting this link violate copyright? Probably. Remove it if you feel it goes against the board rules etc.

    Yes, and I've watched it. It's only 7 minutes as you say.

    Oh, and, It's the best introduction movie I've ever seen, in any game. Or maybe there are some that I prefer more, but this one is definitely up in the top tier.

    It made me feeeeel things; awed, intrigued, and almost sad with only 7 minutes. And it TELLS something, it's not just amazingly pretty. The music, directing, art, MUSIC!!!, voice acting (wow!), made me blush. And the ACTING, yes the CG people look like THEY feel stuff, too!

    :<3: :<3:

    I really want this game.

    I bitch about the game a lot, mainly for the lack of story and weak characters, but it is still the best of the series out there.

    Saw it. it was great

    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!"

    Wow.

    I'm amazed at how cinematic that opening movie was. It could very well have been the opening to a film rather than a game. Previous opening movies were more about showing a sequence of vaguely related scenes in a fast music-video sorta fashion. But this one was definitely more of a prologue than simply an opening FMV. More along the lines of Lord of the Ring's opening than Misson Impossible's opening.

    I love.

    I caved and watched it. (SPOILER)Is it just me, or is the pacing really terrible? Some prince gets married, goes to battle and dies within 5 minutes? What the hell?

    Bah, hate to say it but while it looked cool, it was pretty disappointing.

    This one is different.

    But yeah, alot of Star Wars references. Not that they haven't done that before, but this is a bit overboard

    Oh God.... That was so beautiful.... I almost burst into tears while watching it. I am truly awed. The MUSIC!!!!

    Nothing could have increased my anticipation for this game more. It looks completely epic. Sort of like a cross between the Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Wow.

    Now, here's hoping that the English release isn't marred by dreadful voice acting, ala FFX....

    Edited to add: I just watched it for the second time, and I am literally weeping right now. I don't know why, but it struck a really emotional chord with me.
