It's a different experience having the explained in the game than it is to read the story synopsis somewhere else. Plus, the game is out here in a couple of months.
Most people (the sensible ones) get RPGs for the story. If you don't speak the language of the story...then what's the point? Sure the cutscenes are pretty, but if you just want to see the cutscenes, that's what YouTube is for. If you wanted to check out the Gameplay, then buy Dragon Quest 8. Not only do you get a top quality game, it comes with a demo of FF12. DQ8 & YouTube should be enough to tide you over until the game comes out on Hallowe'en, but then again if you YouTube it you'll be spoiling the story. You won't understand what's happening, but you'll see what's happening. ("What? Why did he just stab him!? I thought they were friends! Isn't he the main character!? I don't understand!!!!!")
