You want FFTA2 details? Here they are.

Did anyone else notice the really fascinating thing about that awesome, dual screen Totema? That was Hashmal, Bringer of Order. Hashmal was an Esper from FFXII, but was not a Totema from the original FFTA. So either they are replacing the Totema from FFTA, which I think is doubtful, or they are giving us at least one new one.

While I like Hardy, I'm not a big fan of the new Cid.

Also, it seems we have ramps now, not just different levels of flat terrain.

He's probably the Totema of a new race, maybe the Seeq race or Cid's race (if his race will be playable). But we know there will be new races playable, together with new jobs. And those races need a Totema.

IGN: Interview: Final Fantasy Tactics A2

First, seeing as FFXII players already know what a Seeq is, there would be no harm in showing a Seeq in either a screen or the trailer, so i don't think they'll be in it, and Cid (expect for the long nose) seems to be a Hume.


5. Just after that bit, it looks like there may be a glimse of a new race. Im not sure, but there is what seems to be a fat moogle with a blade on is head speaking (you can see his portrait). I dunno if thats just a deformed member of an existing race, or a monster or what, i just thought i'd point it out.

Cid really isn't a hume. He looks more like those things that always escorted Marquis Ondore, a Rebe.

And about point 5, that was a Seeq, me thinks. The interview did say they would be adding new races. I think you overlooked it.

Murasawa: We have added some new jobs that you might remember from FFXII, and we have added additional races as well. Please pay attention to some of the first screenshots released in Japan, because there's a big hint in them.

Yes, i know. I think you may have misunderstood me. What they say in the interview is that (if you take the text literally) there will be Jobs from FFXII, and some new races (not nessicarally from FFXII). So what i meant when i said:

Anyway, the interview said that you'd see Jobs from FFXII, not Races, so i guess we'll be seeing some completly new races.

Was that whilst we may be seeing jobs from FFXII, the Races possiblly arn't from FFXII.

Oh, sorry. ^^" Still, I think Seeq will be playable and maybe some other races from FF XII. And I find, doesn't Ivalice have enough races yet? ^^"

[Fynn]

It seems there will be at least two more races from XII in this game - Seeqs and Rebes. Not that I mind, though...

Um, FFXII doesn't have a job system. It does, however, have several new races: The Rebes, the Seeq, the Urutan-Yensa (not exactly a good race, but...

I hope that Hashmal is a Totema. I just hope that all the Espers show up as Totema. I want to summon Zodiark.

BTW, will FFTA2 support any form of linking with FFTA? Say, if you have FFTA2 in the DS slot and FFTA in the GBA slot, you can trade items and maybe characters across..?

[Elpizo]

Because this is a DS game made as a sequel to the GBA version, was there any consideration in the development of the DS game to incorporate the Game Boy cartridge into the DS game?

Murasawa: Sure, we'd like to use that kind of system where information is shared between the GBA and DS versions, but at the moment we can't say anything about that.

So they at least would like to do it, but if they'll do it remains a question, unfortunately.

I wouldn't mind transferring units between games (if such were possible) or maybe some extra missiosn unlocked by having the GBA game in the GBA slot. But really, I'd like to have Marche and Ritz in my party again. Or maybe Marche's Judgemaster in this game... ^^"

Actuyally, in International they do have jobs.

Anyway, Hashmal kinda looks like a Garif... Maybe it'll be their Totema?

As the wihte wizard pointed out, in the International version of the game, there are differant Licence boards for each job. I don't know if thats what they meant in the interview, but it would seem so.

Seeq and Rebes seem like likely candidates for the new races.

What is the release date for FFTA2? I'm sick of waiting.

Your point...?

[demondude]

That's exactly how the International version is
