The opening was leaked?

[amratis]

That was simply incredible. I couldn't be looking forward to this game more.

[DMKA]

Anyways, not only was the beginning and the ending were leaked, but all of the FMVs too. There are 39 of them. (I think) That's certainly a lot of FMVs. (but I only watched the Intro)

Wow, I had heard previously that there was only going to be an intro and a ending FMV, like Kingdom Hearts. Glad to hear that's not true, because I love FMVs throughout the game like they've been since VII.

Graphics whore

No, I just like the FMV style. If I was a graphics whore I'd prefer X and X-2 to VII, which I don't.

[crono_logical]

It reeked of Star Wars Episode 1 to me for some reason Graphics are nice though, possibly almost on par with FF7AC

[Jhei]

^For me the intro graphics wasn't just "almost", but as good as the graphics of Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. It was really great, and is the best intro of an FF game yet. (on par with VIII and it's amazing Liberi Fatali)

[Roto13]

I prefer FF VI's Anthology version to any other one, but that's just me. I thought it captured the mood of the game perfectly.

[TasteyPies]

Honestly? Kinda lame..it didn't make me want to play the game at all. In fact, I think I have lost all of my enthusiasm.

Edit: so its out in japan now right? god I can't WAIT!

Yes, it was the real ending FMV (about 5 minutes in length), and it was viewed by thousands of people - before it and all 38 of the game's other FMVs (all put on there by the same guy) were removed from YouTube about a day ago, due to copyright infringement. The only one that remains now is the opening.

[Vyk]

I thought it was nice. Didn't really set up much though. Main character nowhere to be found. Though I have to say I dont get how people can consider an opening a spoiler. You're going to be basked in the same exact thing as soon as you pop the DVD in your PS2. So regardless, its going to be your first real FFXII experience. Be it now, or 7 months from now.

[Seifer]

Well...I must say...I am very disappointed. For all the other people who have said similar, I hear ya.

Let's keep in mind, I have seen the first seven minutes with this clip, so I will say what I think about the opener. This DOES NOT represent my opinion of what the rest of the game is or what I think the rest of of the game will be like. That is yet to be determined when I play it, so here's what I think about this:

Didn't make me want to play at all. They've really lost their artistic direction. VII, VIII, IX, X...they all had it in one way or another. VII had mystery, VIII had that awesome epic feel, IX was...still a heck of a lot better than this, and X had a bittersweet, forshadowing draw to it. Hell, even VI had some for a 16-bit game. Anthology version of VI definitely.

Some people are also weird. The FMV graphics were no where near the par of Advent Children. This is still on the level of X. Other than that, I wouldn't even care if they were that good. Graphics aside, I didn't find anything profound about this one at all. Typical medievil-esque action. Whoopdee-doo. Well guys, instead of waiting for Final Fantasy XII, I think I'm going to go watch some Record of Lodoss War.

[Death Penalty]

Graphics in IMO were on par with Advent Children. It has the feel FF2 had when I played it.

[Jir11]

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.

Very impressive opening However FFVIII is still IMHO the best opening I've seen so far in the FF series. Can't wait to play this game I'm sure it's going to be one of my favorite FF game.
