Lucky you. I live in England so I probalbly won't be able to play this game until pigs fly a.k.a next year. I intend to throw a pig off of a plane and teach it to open it's parachute.

Aww,ff freak...Sorry.I forgot about the PAL gamers...
Yes well I intend to sneak into Square-Enix's head office and hold them all ransom until they make a final fantasy just for me. And then they release all of the other Final fantasy games in Europe first. And then they make the finalfantasy games all about me. Wow I really have gone insane.

mind if I help you?
I'm just glad that no one here complained that it got a 9.5 instead of 10 when 9.5 is nearly perfect now which pic is of Cid?
The only thing I have to say about XII so far is why do all the main characters basically have the same eyes. Just look at them everyone's eyes are all small and squinty, they just make the clothes, the shape of the head, and the hair different. The game was influenced by FF tactics and vagrant Story I didn't know that is vagrant Story good?

Threads like this are bad, it makes me want this game even more !
Pure,godless evil...
Anyway,I got the October issue and was so happy!
FFXII needs to come out now so I can get my sneaky little paws on it!
I need to get my paws on this games version of Cid. Smurfing man candy. But yeah, two months is a long freaking time.

XII isn't a next-gen game.

He is the heir to the Rosarian throne...I think.
When this game comes out I am gonna play it for hours on end!
And two months is way too long!
Uh, are there two Cids in this game?And yes, the dude with the purple glasses. I like tanned skin,
There is Dr.Cid who is (SPOILER)Balthier's father
Then there is Al Cid/El-Cid/Alshid...I don't know his name but he's the Rosarian prince.
They didn't get into Chocobo riding. I thought that was going to be quirky this time. Where like you had to rent them for a specific period of time. And some would be impatient and run off on you when you got off while others would hang around and wait for you. Or was that idea axed?
The review didn't really get me any more excited than I was already. As I had a feeling this would be an RPG experience a little different (thankfully) than the rest. It just reaffirms what I already suspected. I will probably be one of those people learning the best Gambits for putting your people totally on auto-pilot. As I abhore random encounters and the tedium of standard role playing fare.
Though summons being worthless in boss fights...? You hardly need them in regular encounters I'd imagine, so I wonder what exactly the point would be. That's almost as goofy as FF8 where it was basically the opposite. For the better portion of the game you had to use summons almost exclusively to do any real damage.
It is cool though you can basically form your own team based on who you like best instead of them having their own skills where they're kinda required from time to time.
Have they said where/when this game takes place in comparison to the Tactics games? They say its the same world. I'm assuming its after FFT? And when did FFTA take place in comparison to the two? :]
Also it says the Judges are back. I assume that means they were in one of the tactics games?
I didn't remember that you needed summons more in FF VIII, although they are hardly ever that necessary :O_O: Except in FF X to insure an overkill against some of the bosses in the game in its first stages, but that's pretty much it.....
There's a really great article about the chronology of Ivalice here:
Ivalice: Chronologie
It's in French though; I'll try to post a rough translation later (I'm at work, and they actually gave me stuff to do), but basically, they say that FF XII's main part happens during year 706 of the "Ancient Valendien" era. The events around the character of Ajora Glabados must have happened somewhat later, which is twelve centuries before FFT.
Obviously, in FFTA, St Ivalice is the latest incarnation of Ivalice, but the writer of this article is of the opinion that you are transported back to the FF XII time period roughly (with the presence of so many characteristics that are similar -Vieira, Judges, Moogles associated with mob hunts, etc), it would make sense)

The Ivalice in FFXII is the same Ivalice as FFT and FFTA but FFXII takes place in the Galtea region.
I've never played FFT or FFTA so I wouldn't know if Galtea is mentioned at all in that game...
