What was your favorite of those. I have a soft spot for VIII.

You guys seriously have to preorder stuff? You can walk into any store here on the first day of release for any game and get a copy. Same for any console. The Best Buy here has had 360's on the shelves since the first day it was released(no surprise though). The only thing they didn't have in when I went there was when the PS2 was first released.
From what I have seen, heard, and played I have no doubts that XII will be incredible.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If you really liked X you will probably like X-2. Just expect some character differences, a bit more comedy than usual, and more cheerful music.

The longer the delay the better the game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It really didn't bother me that they changed the characters attitudes and gave them a make over. I think it was faithful to the FF games of past by making the game fun and involving. Anyway, it was the first FF to get a sequel and enjoyed going through meeting all of the characters over again and seeing some familiar places.

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

That looks great. Does the collector's edition come with anything else extra or special content? I normally don't preorder anything, but if that's the only way to get this then I will.

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

I'm about 36 hours into it now. My characters levels are in the late thirties so I guess I'm close to the finish by now. Loving it so far.

I was speaking idiomatically.

It's not like I have anything else to do. I'm just a boring double major in college. I have plenty of free time on my hands.

Well, not really but this week is light for me so FFXII is filling up my free time. Anyway, I beat Okami the first week I got with about 42hrs of work so FFXII shouldn't be far behind. :biggrin:

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Since it's pretty much the first healing spell you get besides that crappy First Aid, I don't like how it takes forever just to cast Cure. Oftentimes the person dies before you even cast it.

Stock up on potions and use them instead. When hi-potions become abundant switch to them. Cura isn't too far off and that heals all of your party members at once. Use a combination of potions and cure all spells only when hp is below 40% or critical. I did and didn't have any trouble at the start of the game until I got to the demon walls.

Sometimes it just seems so big that it almost, in a way, suffers from the "overwhelming" factor to carry on. At this moment, I'm still full of steam to carry on, but it's somewhat starting to die down now. I'm still at the city in the sky, so not much has happened.

I personally need the constant mini story clips and characters talking to each other in the scenes for some motivation. I'm only shy of 15 hours into the game, but perhaps it's also other factors and stresses in my life that are detracting.

Still, this is a good game with good production values, no argument there.

Also, Final Fantasy versions of "Airports" or Aerodomes, look kinda funny. RIDE THE SHOOPUF, no wai~.

Well, I'm 36 hours in and my attention hasn't wavered once. The story is gripping and the characters interesting. There are plenty of cutscenes throughout and fun side quests to undertake. Yeah, it's a huge world but not nearly as big an mmorpg or some of the other FFs.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I HATE deserts in RPGs. They're always so boring to look at.

I think everyone agrees that FFXII definitely has top-notch production values. The story hasn't collapsed on me so far as well. I can live with a less than stellar story if the game itself is fun.

P.S. I take it there's no Bahamut in this game?

Only real problem I've had so far is back tracking through some areas to get to new places.

No, there is no Bahamut, but Ultima and Omega are back. Problem is I need to be super high ass level to beat them. Oh, and there's a final super esper that I need to find. So, much left to do. I'm thinking about buying the 380 page strategy guide to see how much is left for me to tackle.
