Wow, way to go Zeta. I wasn't planning on stopping by Digitallife this year, but it looks like that's going to change.

Unfortunately, I live in the western part of the U.S. So I won't be able to attend. Still though, I'm getting the C.E so it's the next cool thing in FFXII :D.

Same here, but I'll drop in to see how the game is. There will, undoubtably be an ungodly amount of people there especially with this announcement. Looks like Square is pushing this one hard. At least my city's got a FFXII day, heh.

Dude, no worries. I kept parading around my office shouting "49 MORE DAYS FOOS!" and they say for what, I just say vacation time. As for the NY October 11, 2006 as FFXII day, I guess that's just one day in history, not for every single October 11th for 20XX, right?

LOL, I declare that December 23rd will be Valkyrie Profile day. SHOW YOUR SUPPORT.

Furthermore, I keep a mood meter at work and tack it up on my office wall. It consists of a : ) a : ( and a : | face. Come d-day, I might just post up a colored printed poster from the color Xerox machine of the Judge. Hell, does anyone here have a nice picture of the Judge logo just by himself (no logo, no Final Fantasy?).

:: I AM ULTIMATE FFXII FAG::

Okay, I did a simple translation of the Famitsu scan. Beware there are minor spoilers.

You have been warned!

And thanks for not being courteous enough to spoiler tag it like Simo.

This is why I hate the delay between JP and NA releases. For a Matsuno game, everyone is expendable. Not anymore. :(

Gah, sorry SOLDIER I kinda didn't notice that is also a spoiler <___<
I removed the line but your quote tag still have them XD

Geez, I wish I worked in an office so I could put posters up. :( I can't really show my FFXII love at my job.

I couldn't find a picture of the logo without text, but this image is pretty large so maybe somebody who has photoshop skills can take the Final Fantasy off?

Ah hell, I'll just crop it. Thanks for the find, although it's probably all over the internet LOL.

All the other ones I found were only like 400px big, tops. *shrug*

I'm pretty sure HOW TO FIGHT BACK of http://www.finalfantasyxii.com will be never updated.

What the hell is "HOW TO FIGHT BACK". What, all the crowds that will be pushing you in the line to say, ZOMG ME FIRST ME FIRST ME FIRST.

I have to say, that official site isn't very impressive nor informative. If I were to not know of anything of the Final Fantasy games and only had access to this site and no other reviews, I probably wouldn't get it. I mean, it really doesn't give you much of anything. A few wallpapers and some notes and that's about it. Thank god for a whole abundance of fan sites ^__^.

Technically it doesn't even give you wallpapers since they're not actually available via the site except poking around to find them hosted on their servers in one size only.

I kind of expected more publicity aside from the NY thing given the game is just over a month away...

Wow, that's pretty terrible for the official site even, and Simo. <3 your new sig. Keep that on for at least until a few weeks after FFXII is released.

thank you thank you XD

I'm the one who did it XD

well yeah SE seem to have problem with their official site lately, and especialy with the FFXII one :\

Heh, of all of them it just so happens to be one of their upcoming flagship titles. Speaking of sites, I've yet to check out the VP2 official site.

Very good skills there, Inhert.

It's not as if they need any publicity though is it? When they released FFVIII the only publicity really over here was a 2 minute video on a PSM cover disc and it still sold millions. These days the power of the internet means most of you who are proper excited about the game have already downloaded the entire soundtrack and know the entire story. It's not as if people are in the dark about the release.

That reminds me of only seeing 1 and only 1 TV commercial for Star Wars Episode 1 back in '99, which I am not saying there were not any more commercials. I mean, this movie was already geared for the fans (although new comers would be welcomed) so they really didn't need to know much to coax them to watch it, myself included. Why really bother wasting anymore advertising money on something already well marketed by its own means. I must admit though, seeing an FFXII commercial on TV while watching .... whatever I watch, the news maybe, would be pretty sweet and pump me up somemore.

heh, maybe putting up a TV commercial isn't such a bad idea anymore. It reinforces the message, and hype.

I know I remember seeing a commercial for FFX a while back. I think it basically just had Yuna falling after the wedding.. I'm not 100% sure though.

I like video game commercials. I wish they had one for FFXII. If anything, it would drive sales up and that would be fine by me. XD

I also think Simo's sig/av reeks of coolness. I think I'll make a set closer to 10/31. (It won't be as nice though!)

You can see all the Japanese and American commercials on the bonus disc of the FFXII, me thinks.

I've only seen one run of a FFX commercial with all the in game cutscenes, and of course I didn't know better at that time and thought all those were in- game play. I like how I wet my pants. Also, at that point I first also thought it was Final Fantasy "X" as in the letter. Shoot me.

So, 43 more days till Final Fantasy EX Eye Eye. This might have something to do with the Wii.

yes ill probably get it, if the supply last until i have the opportunity to buy it.
the logo is nice, it would be better as a watermar or something in the front cover, dont you think?

PSM's newest issue featured a 14 page (!!!) review of FFXII. They gave it a 9.5.

....for 14 pages I was expecting a 10. :tpg:

Any scans available? I'm sorta surprised that they've got their hands on one so early still.

The PSM issue's been out for a while now. No idea how they got it that far head of time though. They pretty much go in-depth with every fragment of the gameplay possible. And with the english version apparently? Kind of odd considering we still have over a month to go until it's released ;(
