Final Fantasy XII Details Leak Ahead Of Unveiling

Thanks to GameSpot for its coverage of pictures and details of Square Enix's Final Fantasy XII, as a Japanese print magazine released a very short preview ahead of "an official presentation of the game" on November 19th in Tokyo. According to the piece, the game "...will take place in a fantasy world where there are other races aside from humans, and flying vessels fill the sky", and "main characters in Final Fantasy XII are a boy named Van and a girl named Arche." The available media also contains a CG shot of "a soldier riding on a chocobo", for those worried their favorite winged creature would be excluded from this instalment.

Looks like FF's glory days are past

[Anonymous Coward]

I used to like Final Fantasy, but the games have been on a downwards spiral since IX. I'll stick to my VI, VII, VIII, and Tactics, thank you.

Most leaks to the media are done so on purpose.

Did anyone else notice...

...that pirate in the bottom right of the picture?

You sound like all the SNES-age gamers after FF6

Hahaha!

You know, about 8 or so years ago, everyone who is now in their late 20's - early 30's said:

"Well... looks like the glory days of Final Fantasy are past. Everything just kind of went down after VI..."

Youth is amusing.

it is back, it actually is comming back in X-2. that was probably one of the biggest complaints of X I heard.

And having played every FF except 3 (including owning the original 1,2 and 3 and playing the "real versions" of all three) I for one quiet enjoy FF still, infact I feel its heyday has yet to be seen.

It is one of those games that I could go 5 years yet still come back and play, and there is not that many of those out there these days.

Infact I am finding the only FF I really dont like (other than Tatics which I couldnt get into and the FF advernture kiddy game which I also own) is FF 8 cause its storyline played like a episode of Gaia 90210!!!

huh, Im replaying FF7 and except for a little bit more feminin eyes, and purple veins all over the place, sephiroth looks EXACTLY like he does in FF7 as he does in Advent Children,

the scene where he is walking through fire, is a direct copy of the CGI from the game after you visit the village and learn about cloud and sephiroths past. Infact the flames match so well, I would be incline to think it is actually THE scene from the game taken and re-mapped.

I do agree on the generic squarsoft hero though, my girlfriend was at a convention where there was a guy walking around with a sign on him saying generic Square-Enix RPG hero for hire. As my girldfriends sister calls it Why does everyones hair all pointy and why does everyone FREAKING look related.
