[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

Hey guys just a question...

I played throught the Japanese game and have yet to play through the English version.

How are you guys / girls liking the game and how does it rank against other FF's? What are your opinions, likes, dislikes?

Well since I played through the game I know most of it. I am just asking how much you guys/girls enjoy it compared to other ff games. So there is a lot of sidequests?!

I just have not read/heard a lot of feeback about the game.

Personally I loved it and can't wait to play through it again, this time in English.

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

Damn I want to play FFXII a lot right now, it would be my 2nd time through, 1st time in english, but read this, from wikipedia:

Quote:

An international version of the game, titled Final Fantasy XII International Zodiac Job System (ファイナルファンタジーXII インターナショナル ゾディアックジョブシステム, Fainaru Fantajī Towerubu Intānashonaru Zodiakku Jobu Shisutemu?), is set to be released on August 9, 2007 in Japan as part of both Final Fantasy 20th anniversary and Ivalice Alliance campaigns. The game will include twelve grids available (instead of the original one), each corresponding to a different Zodiac sign and job. The battle system as a whole will also be tweaked; guest characters and summons will now be controllable by the player, and pressing the L1 button will accelerate the game's speed. Additionally, the game will feature the English voices and the widescreen 16:9 ratio support of the North American version, as well as a bonus disc based on the one initially released with the North American version. Other new features such as new licenses, new spells and new gambits have been shown as well. A new "Trial Mode" will allow the player to hunt monsters 100 different maps to gain items and money. There will also be a "New Game+" option, as well as another unannounced mode of play.

That sounds awesome.

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

Actually it's like... here we added new shit into the game, buy it if you want it, don't buy it if you don't. It's your choice. I already beat FFXII and was happy with it. And now with extra stuff, I really would like to play it.

Either way I have a modded PS2, so I get to play for free.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I personally love the idea of Larsa as a part of the group, since he is one of the best characters of the game.
I wonder though, how is this going to affect the story, since both characters are missing in some portion of the story.

And about Vossler

Spoiler:

I played the game a long time ago and my memory is not that good.
He dies, right? Aerith all over again....nice...

Oh man, my fricking limited edition copy looks like a beta game now

You have a link to that story? I thought it meant that they were just controllable when they were in your party as guests. Maybe they're permanent. That would be interesting with Vossler as you say....

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I can't see them being permanent characters, since you know, they need to be out of the party on multiple occasions due to the plot.

Exactly.

Also, thanks for the info Dizzy. I seriously am really excited for this. I just hope it has in game english text along with the english voice acting like FFX international.

FELIPE NO

Yeah I have the international version. Only Jap text. English voice acting. The double speed option is awesome though. I like the Zodiac system so far.

Nice review. I still haven't played this game in English. I can't believe I have still yet to buy it either. I am on of the biggest FF fans out there, among others here...

I really wish the international had an English text option

Jam it back in, in the dark.
