[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

I just got done watching the trailer for FFXII with English voice overs - sounds pretty promising thus far. Also, as for people concerned about release dates, it has officially been street dated - for October 31st. Gamestop (at least the one I work for) is going to be holding a midnight release of the game. Anyhoo, I'm getting my copy of release day - I might be working that night. Collector's Edition along with the Limited edition strategy guide.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I work for Gamestop, and I don't think that the sku has been closed yet, but a la MGS3:SLE, it could close up. You might want to reserve that guide, but there might be more than needed, like the KH II guide. I personally would suggest it.

How ya doing, buddy?

I work for a major game retailer, and I can vouch for what your clerk said there, SOLDIER. Also, the game is street dated, and will very likely have a midnight release, a la NCAA football and Madden 07. The fact that no one yet knows what the additional content will be for the LE guide is bothersome, though - it's hard to convince someone to plunk down cash for something that's so nebulous, even when they can cancel the reservation. I do have reserves on both the LE guide and the CE game, though - and I just got the LE sountrack form Japan - it comes in a really sweet case. Here it is, sorry if it's already been posted somewhere -



The only thing I noticed different from this one and the one I got was that the CD's themselves were different. Each one had two characters on it, the fourth one showing two moogles. Anyway, though, it's a cool piece.

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

Well, we got copies of the limited edition at Gamestop yesterday, we just can't legally sell them until the 31st. So we won't. Besides, how else owuld a midnight release be any fun? We are able to sell the LE guide though - and it is flippin' sweet. It's a lot like the KH2 guide, right down to how thick it is. And the artbook rocks the house - I LOVE those damn espers. The design of this game is just incredible. I am going to be so worthless around the house for the next month...

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

Yeha, I'm about 7 hours in right now, it starts off a little boring, but kicks into gear slowly but surely. Overall, it rocks. The dialogue is very well dubbed (it doen't hurt that the motion capture is superb too) and I even like the dialect work, it really adds a sense that it's a full world with different tongues - though i can't understand a bloody thing the Seeq say. Well, gotta get back to save Ashe...

How ya doing, buddy?

Personally, Freelance, I can see it both ways. I enjoy the Gambit system immensely, I find it to be a new form of challenge in the series, but I can also see how someone would like to keep them off. I still find part of the fun though in finding the best combinations of Gambits for each situation. Makes me want to go play some more now...

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
