Square Enix Officially Unveils Final Fantasy XII
squareamp writes "According to 1UP's in-person report from the Tokyo unveiling, Square Enix has officially taken the wraps off of the latest Final Fantasy game - Final Fantasy XII. There are new images available of our main characters: Vaan (1), Vaan (2), Ashe (1), Ashe (2) - who are both described as Humes (taking a page from the race system of Final Fantasy XI: Online)." 1UP's coverage of the event also reveals "there won't be any branching-path system in place", possibly making the game more freeform, which could be "a large (and welcome) step away from the very linear scenario design of past Final Fantasies." The creators also indicated the game is 70 percent done, and is currently "due to be released in Japan in summer 2004."
Why is she picking her nose??
Another one of these. Stupid characters, recycled from last year's game. Some stupid plot. Stupid ass-long boring pre-rendered cutscenes that no one gives a damn about. Stupid "imaginative" scenery consisting of random ugliness thrown together. High sales.
FFVI (or FFIII for the US:ians) was the last decent game in the series, and it was damn good too.
wonder why the adventure genre dried up.
It's interesting how the popularity of classic adventure games seems inversely proportional to the popularity of Microsoft software...
