Looking about i've seen that a few people don't seem to know what FFXII will be all about so here's an article for ya'll.


Final Fantasy 12 is the latest project in the popular series. Set for a 2005 release date, this game offers many new features never before seen in the series. New features such as real-time battles eliminate the "good guys one site, bad guys one the other" setup. This game involves moving the character around during battle to avoid enemy attacks. There is also no random battles, all enemies are visible on-screen before you battle them. If you wish to avoid battles you must "sneak" around these enemies who can find you by sight and even sound.

Final Fantasy 12 is set in the world of Ivalice, where two kingdoms of Arcadia and Rosnia have been at war with one another for years. Unconveniently situated in the middle of these kingdoms is the small kingdom of Dalmaska. The Final Fantasy games has always had an enemy in each one but never before has a game has 2 enemies. There are several confirmed characters in the game and each have existing backgrounds that join in the story nicely. Vaan, Ashe, Balthier, Fran, Penelo and Basch are all confirmed characters. This game has a very interesting plot and Square Enix has done a great job with it.

Final Fantasy 12 may look similar to 10 and X-2, but it runs much faster and at a smoother rate. There are a lot appealing scenes scene in screenshots that suggest that this is a futuristic war game. The plot focuses on the survival of Dalmaska and the Resistence - which fights against Arcadia and Rosnia. Square-Enix has promised this game is going to be something different and not follow the typical storyline of love between the main characters.

Although there have been no official music releases, there have been 3 samples of music on the official japanese website. These songs have no official names or lyrics, but they do sound very pleasing and if this is an indication of Final Fantasy 12 music, then its going to be good.

Final Fantasy 12 is going to give its fans alot more sense of realism. With the new battle system alone, all battle complaints of previous games will be eliminated. Square-Enix is putting alot of new features into this game and hopefully they will prove successful for Final Fantasy 12.



also inrestingly, they are introducing a new branch of magic called 'Green Magic' that is basically buffs and debuffs, it seems the colour red's gone out of fashion ^^

While you were looking about did ya happen to notice that you are in an OUT OF TOPIC FORUM?


Technically, it is OOT. He's talking about Final Fantasy Twelve, not Eleven as this site relates to. Twelve is not an MMORPG, has no relation to this site whatsoever and if anything, might need to go to the Cross Game forum, but most of that concerns the games this site offers information on like EQ and WoW.

Wow, this looks like it takes the cake for the worst FF so far...No
turn based fighting?! WTF! Are they out of there minds? That is what FF was brought up on...FFXI isn't turn based because why? It would be impossible for a MMORPG to be turn based...But anyways...Real time really turns me off for a single player FF! Just my 2 cents! Thanks!


Edit : Grammar

We'll see. I'm still going to rent it first. Especially, after the mini-game filled mess of FF9, FF10, and FFX-2. I still think SE has lost what made it great so many years ago with FF4, FF5, FF6, and FF7.

The ABD battle system kinda makes me less intrested =/ If I wanted a game with ABD, I would play a differant game, such as Vagrant Story or Sword of Mana, not Final Fantasy =|

I pray for the day when they will make a hand held remake of FF6/3...
