[PS2] Final Fantasy XII

I don't know what you see in it. It's a song from a game, but I don't think it stands out.

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

So how many tracks are orchestral? And is the quality of the existing songs any better than the songs from the demo, or is it about the same?

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

These tracks alone trump what was in the demo, and from what I heard there's 120-130 tracks in the game, 10-13 of them ended up being arranged (anyone care to clarify what this means?).

Personally, I'm happy they didn't go orchestral ala DQVIII since the tracks all have this grating similarity to one another that Sakimoto has mentioned he wants to avoid (creating contrast between areas and music).

I was speaking idiomatically.

I see wonder, I see adventure, I see an interesting and varied composition, I see something exciting and engaging. I suppose different people just "see" music differently.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think it means that 10 or 13 tracks were recorded with a real orchestra, the others are just sythethised sounds

It may also mean that Sakimoto was alone for most of the tracks but for 10~13 tracks, a big team was working on them.

If you listen to all the mp3 posted on yousendit, they're all recorded with synthethisers but still they sound great !

And they really sound like FFT music, it's incredible!

Most amazing jew boots

Ah, thanks for filling me in on this. I always wondered what it meant.

What's that hot saying going around? Oh yeah, The More You Know.

Well, what do you expect, it's Sakimoto.

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

^ Yeah, but to me, I though he would have slighly change style with time (he did the Breath of fire V OST...), FFT must be ten years old now (like comparing Uemastu's work between FF's you can see changes); But i think i'm even happier that he sticked to that style


Anyways, for those who have progressed far in the game, are there small towns in the game ? the first town you are in is ginormous

Jam it back in, in the dark.

You see all of that out of how much playtime? See, you can read as much as you like into what the song may represent, but you won't know until it's here.

I picked up a copy earlier today, and, well... I hated it. I decided not to return it, but rather to break it and complain about how much it sucks.



There's nowhere I can't reach.

What the fuck.

I really like this game, I'm in the first main town with the merchants. I really like it and I've played through just about every FF game. The intro is awesome. music is great, and characters are tight.

Seconded... I could say a million things right now but I'd really rather not encite a flame war over a video game. Needless to say, though, that was quite an idiotic thing to do. I sense deep anger issues.

Man, the 7-minute intro music is great!! Also, the other tracks are also very, very good. Sakimoto really has gone all out on this soundtrack if these tracks are any indication.

FELIPE NO

The word you're looking for is "broken."

Why the hell are people freaking out? It's probably not Elixer's given that the same shot was posted over on GAF not too long ago.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

It's also photoshopped, because I see pixels.

Ok, I don't see it. Show me, since all I see are the pixels that make up the image itself.

Someone with scaner and original Final Fantasy XII please drop by here. Thanks in advance.

Around the center of the middle ring. I also don't know if it's the same image as it's on the original disc. All I know is..

Oh well, currently downloading. I have hype over this game and I don't know why.

Simo needs to start creating sigs holy shit.

Double Post:
Eh, this selection isn't that impressive. Mediocre at best.

Eh, I'm crap at creating sigs but thankfully those "Avatar & Signature Requests" lot are pretty talented so I can't take credit for my current sig. Inhert was kind enough to make my signature and did a fine job at that.

Thanks to maskrider & BlimBlim at Gaming-Age we've got high quality downloadable versions of the Pre-Ppening FMV, Opening FMV and the first 6 minutes of gameplay. The direct links might not work so just go with the torrents:

I rather belive this than belive someone broke his own original copy of Final Fantasy.

I wouldn't rule it out.

The dude becomes King of Damalsca

War continues

King Dude of Damalsca dies

Ashe cries, i liked that because i though it was a forced marriage

------

Tutorial, i didn't really get what's going on there, we see Vayne for the first time and he seems to control Basch with a magic spell

------

Now controlling Vaan, killing some rats in the sewers for money i suppose, the little brat with Vaan is really impressed by Vaan skills... for killing rats great :juggler:

and that's only what i understood

Just in case..

Spoiler:

Just seen the opening CG...is it me or did they cut out the scene where Ashe meets Rasura and holds his hand (also shown in Kiss Me Goodbye Japanese PV)?

And it should be pretty obvious that it wasn't forced marriage, Ashe was smiling all the way throughout the ceremony

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah so it looks like the US version won't be released until November...

He also mentioned that the US version is currently in the process of being localized, and should see release sometime around Thanksgiving in the States.
