Final Fantasy XII: Rage aginst the Japanese release!
I hate you Japan, For getting FFXII!! One day we will have it too! Comon Chobo knights, Flying airship combat, wizards with city defense shields, hawt princess swing swords… this isn’t just fantasy, this is FINAL FANTASY! CRÈME! I say CRÈME!
Though, for those of us who cant get the game here r some preview videos to help u get ur FFXII fix:
Openning
Prologue
Gameplay
Youtube FFXII collection (Spoilers)
Also, FFXII is one of the few games that scored a perfect score from Famitsu. (Japanese Gaming magazine, old school)
The game looks great, Square seems to be owning the field on 3d game movies, not to mention great feature length movies like Advent Children. But the new combat systems seem interesting. The Wang haven’t read too much about it, but these gameplay videos are showing real time combat of some sort, and none of the much-hated enemy popup events. Think Square has definetly taken some lessons from FFXI’s MMO combat tactics, they even brought in the party “Chain" attack combo thing. Let’s hope the Wang doesn’t have to download another renkei chart.
On the pop theme song note, the Wang inst as impressed with the pop song of FFXII, Kiss me Goodbyw. Maybe it needs a water-light kiss scene akin to FFX’s Suteki da Ne to set the mood.
Which leads to the biggest problem, how hawt is the girl?
In FFX, one can almost say that Yuna’s character takes a pretty chunk of the story plot. Sure most of the story involves Tidus and his Father/son issues, But Yuna’s journey drives the whole “lets go linear" RPG story plot. Plus who can forget hawt ritual dancing? So in FFXII, we have Ashe. The games also its stories from the worlds populated by FF: Tactics and Vagrant Story. So Ashe is a Hume (FFXI I assume…) princess from the Kingdom of Dalmasca, the intro of FFXII basically shows her wedding. Who knows how much she will fall for the sky pirate Vaan. Ashe also runs a resistance against the occupation of her kingdom. So she fights a lot, uses magic and seems less whiny than Yuna, so far, she doing good on the Wang-Meter™.
Still damn u Japan for getting all the cool games first… I guess the Wang can return to the youthful days of playing FF with a translation book in Japanese… technically that’s how the Wang first experienced FFVI. The good news is that FXII will be released in US before thanksgiving seeing how FFX had a whole 6 month translation period before the early release, it might be time to dust of Wang’s PS2… which technically only ever played FFX before it was pimped out to friends.
Also… some other crappy rpg came out… obliv something? I mean who cares, have u seen this Prologue?!?
THANKYOUs:
