Final Fantasy XII: Hands on results

[Troll King]

Even by RPG standards, Ratty, Final Fantasy games are hardly the most difficult in the genre. Actually, the FF series usually doesn't even need you to spend too much time leveling.

Anyone forget this game is coming out on Tuesday? I picked up a Circuit City ad and was reminded today. Needless to say I'M FUCKING PUMPED!

[Stabwound]

I've had the leaked review copy for a month... I'm about half way through the game so far.

I've been playing FF since FF1 came out on the NES.

I think a lot of people are going to be disappointed.

I mean, it's not a bad game by any means, but it is a far cry from a FF6, FF7, or even an FF10. I'm not going to get into any details, but I was personally disappointed... a lot.

I don't even like FFX so this game is fine

I'm only like lvl 22 so I guess i'm about 1/3 of the way

I have only played 3 FF's (7-9) and I never played on wait-time mode, I don't like it, it has to be fast gameplay for me. I really loved the storyline from ff7 and ff9, I didn't really like ff8 anyway I can't play 10,11,12 since I don't have a ps2, I might buy one just for final fantasy tho' Ff never bores me! I have played ff7 propably 9 times already from start too end. The only thing i just can't seem to get is a gold chocobo >.> Not even a black or blue one

It helps to race all the chocobos you need in the Golden Saucer, it sharply increases the chances, it's also worth it to get tons of GP. Also buy tons of the best greens in the game and feed them to your chocobos.

I can remember that you need to use a Zeio and Carob nut, Carob is gotten from a monster on an island a bit south of the northern continent. It's a red dinosaur thingy, you need to steal it. Zeio is gotten in the forest on the island closest to the island where you get Knights of the round table materia. Goblin like creature (gets you goblin punch as well). You need to steal it.

Gold chocobo: wonderful (you get them a bit south for icicle inn) mated with black. Use Zeio nut
Black: Blue and Green mated. Use Carob nut
Blue: Good and great chocobo (I think), same with green. Use carob nut.

Bugs me that I can't remember which type of base chocobos you need, but you can find a faq for that.

It'll be another fucking year before it comes out in EU, that's 2 years after it came out in Japan, such a piss take.

A little exaggerated but still.

[Noah]

Yeah I hate how the releases it.

Can remember that I counted days to FF8 came, and that everyone in US and Asia could just get it.

Really? IGN just raved and raved but I've known not to invest solely in their opinions. I'm broke as fuck, though, so I'd love to hear some more from ya (otherwise I can waste my money on a girl and at least get something out of it).

P.S. I never beat FF6 but I've still got the file and it looks like I'm in the middle of Zozo. I can't remember it all that well but I remember feeling like it was a bit dated and the story being just okay (but that may have been because everyone says it's the greatest). Worth beating or did I miss the 16-bit boat?

[Vykromond]

Guru's opinion works OK for me. WoW is a little tougher than the FF's, actually, though obviously we're still not talking about much in the way of coordination or calculation required of the player (more of the latter for guild officers).

EDIT: That said the difficulty of a game isn't a very good judgment of its quality.

[Bob (SRB)]

Anything past FFIV (or V? The SNES numbering sucks) cannot be taken seriously.

Everything you say is retarded.

[DoTheFandango]

Everything you say is retarded.

FFVII is the only exception to what I said.

Not going to bother, I guess. Fuck.
