No I haven't you can try =) But it need to be 1200 or 600 DPI scan resized to 300 DPI just like he did ICO JAP scan =). Thanks!!

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well my PS2 is moded and as long as I keep in mind to play only on best DVD's like Verbatim and TDK and record them with speed like x2 or MAX x4 everything works just fine. Plus I can run software from memory card, play import games, have PAL converter for signal output inside modchip, green screen fix and other cool things. Besides it's not to expensive 150zł is like 40$.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Mod chip for every type of PS2 (JAP, USA, EUR) is the same only installation method is different. 220$ isn't to mych but import cost will be half if not more of this.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I'm getting my copy on Monday =) Can't wait to play!! What about the menu translations? Anyone have them?

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Thanks but I was looking rather for some Manu's on Inventory translations ^^'

Nope it's not shaking when hit. I'm plying right now and even when T-Rex hit you it's not shaking.

Few question to people that play FF XII:

• Spoiler:

  How to change part leader? I just died and could select one of living member as a leader and now I'm walking with Penelo and 2nd is Vaan.

• Spoiler:

  Is it just me or dagger attack it about 1/3 way faster then attack with sword? Penelo is using dagger and Vaan is using sword and I have to say that she attack like 1/3 faster then me.

If my memory serves correctly you can change the order of leader by going in to menu-> character status -> change order and select the order. Need to confirm this one I get home!

Spoiler:

No you just press D-Pad Up or Down when in fight or anywhere you can use Circle and Square button functrions.

Spoiler:

Yeah I think so =) In other FF's there wasn't something like this and it was based on haracter speed.

Nice I'm already at 5+ hours =P

You say it so easily but look at it this way. You need to design totaly new clothes for all characters that will be used in certain area. Make in game movies using characters in new clothes plus if there will be CG then you have to create CG image of characters.

It's a lot of work and I think it's useless of you are in snow area for less then few hours from 100 hours game play. Besides RPG heroes are super heroes so they don't need warm clothes =D They don't have time to catch cold they have to save the world!

After that time when you exit to a warmer climate, you could see them changing back to normal clothes. But all other subsequent visits with no CG or cutscenes the characters would just appear in winter clothes in the winter area and the player would logically deduct that they were doing the same thing (ie changing clothes) to get to how they look now. It's not that hard. MGS3 managed to do their cut scenes with Snake in different attire.

Maybe yes but MGS3 was designed for making Snake look different in certain area. Besides there is only one character to change and here we have a number of main characters.

Anyway it would be nice to see it in action and let's hope that in future games will include some realism matters like temperature cloths change.
