[Multiplatform] Ivalice Alliance

Thanks for confirming. I kinda got mixed up on which of the Ivalice Alliance games were for the DS or for the PSP.

Speaking or Races, Given that there was a 'new' race in Revenant Wings (Those Winged People as seen in the Scans), I wonder if they'll throw one of them into TA2?

Also,

Spoiler:

Al-Cid as playable or even as an NPC in your Party is a welcome addition and yet another reason to pick this up in the future

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

Possibly, but the chances of having one of those from a race that hasn't been covered like the Gria and Seeqs are kinda low. Which gets my mind thinking of crazy unlockables like new races in secret areas.

Spoiler:

Damn, seems like in most places where I've put up that scan and the news, people go crazy over Al-Cid. Didn't know he had so many fans, though that could be folks who think he should've had more than 2 or 3 scenes in the game.



Now I'm wondering if we might see some folks from the previous game, or at least references to them.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Regarding secret character again:

Spoiler:

A strong point in the Ivalice games, at least with Tactics, Vagrant Story, and XII, is that there are always a strong supporting cast of characters. Al-Cid really was well done in the XII, and I felt that his character would have benefited the game with more of a presence. I love the robust worlds we see in this whole project, though. My disdain for Tactics Advance aside.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That would be most fans I'd guess, including myself. I really do feel though, even with my fan-glasses off, that Al-Cid's role was too short in the game and he should have had at least a few more scenes, if not showing a bit of Rozzaria in the process. Oh well... perhaps his limited appearance was due to the team shuffle-up and the main producer getting sick? (IIRC The game was delayed half-way due to some Team Management situations or something)

Also @ Rotorblade: Tactics Advance took place in a 'fantasy' Ivalice, so its not Canon to the normal universe, where-as Tactics Advance 2 IS in the same universe, with of course the bonus characters and Cameos of which their Canonical Stature can be ignored at one's leisure.

Most amazing jew boots

Spoiler:

Where do you guys see that he'll be a NPC? He does have a unique job, Agent, and its abilities will be geared towards supporting the female members of your party (Reception and Escort), but this doesn(t mean that he isn't playable during the game, much like Agrias and Orlandu had unique jobs.
