Haber el juego tanto en diseño como en video cg es muy atractivo pero square ofrece mas de lo mismo si os fijais en las pantallas "in-game" el motor grafico es el mismo que el de ffx y ffx-2 q esta mu chulo pero vamos nada revolucionario a esta saga o le lavan la cara y ofrecen algo revolucionario o siempre es mas de lo mismo. q si q habra gente q diga q siga asi por que a mi me gusta,pero todo con el tiempo termine aburriendo.
El unico que me parece que vale la pena es Final Fantasy CC por q ese si es innovador y me parece que cambia tanto la jugabilidad como el aspecto grafico,q algunos diran que es peor y tal pero me parece innovador y un esfuerzo por salirse de la tonica general

Lo miro del derecho, lo miro del reves, lo miro con los ojos entornados, lo miro con gafas de sol, lo miro de reojo...y por mas que lo miro no veo parecido alguno entre Tidus y Vaan @_@...pero, oiga, ninguno. Quizas el color del pelo pero es que ni eso....en fin...

Vaan es un ladrón del Reino de Dalmaska que sueña con escaparse, ser un pirata del cielo.
Ashe es la princesa del Reino de Dalmaska y heredara del trono. Pero su reino es atacado por Valentia Empire.

soy yo el unico al que eso de ladron-princesa le suena a aladdin?

I'm just going to list them as bulleted items...

- They said they dropped polygon count to about half of FFX in order to put more memory on textures for the realtime models. Like Vagrant Story, they are really really putting a lot of effort on the textures of the characters, and it looks nice indeed.

- The movie models on the other hand look very FF11, like Vaan and Ashe CG movie models can be easily mistaken with a CG movie character from FF11. Hence, my point is, there is still a gap between in-game and movie models. But personally, I really dig the in-game models more than the movie ones.

- Matsuno says the setting is inspired by Mediterranean culture. As we've already seen, there's a section where Vaan was walking in this tropic type setting...that was more like a tropical forest area with waterfall, so dont think its FFX all over again. Other places were desert field, dungeons (very Vagrant Story-esque feel to it). And get this, the field map is completely 3D, Matsuno said you can view it in any angle so I assume it is rotatable like FF11. In fact, there was a part where the party was walking through the desert and the field depth felt very FF11...looks promising.

- Battle...they didn't say summon monsters (aeons) but the movie we saw seemed obvious...Ifrit, Ramus...some others I wasnt familiar with. One of the dev members said they deliberately picked screenshots which makes us think its the typical FF style. I assume there's more to the battle system...and one thing I caught which only showed for very briefly was that there was one circular line surrounding an enemy and it moved up and down (as if that enemy was playing with a hoola-hoop, if you know what I am trying to visualize)...so my guess is, there is body part damage like Vagrant Story perhaps? Just my guess...

- Music...Nobuo Uematsu of course, with one other guy, forgot his name. Didn't say much, the one they played with the movie was quite uplifting and very suitable, but I personally can't say its out of this world. They havent announced who the official singer is yet...

- Matsuno admits there are relations between FFTA and FF12...kinda like how the Ogre Battle universe was. Like the Judge from FFTA is an evil character in FF12, the dude on the logo is him. Anyway, somebody would probably put up details on character profile and background story, so I'll skip that.

- Lastly...I dont like Vaan much at this point...too feminine like. The face was probably inspired by Hyde (L'arc vocalist), at least I think so. There were two other characters shown, names werent revealed. One seemed like Shenmue's Ren (you know those bad boy characters), and the other was a tanned skinned female character in a very skimpy outfit.

The sovenir they handed out was very nice. Press sheets, wallpaper CDs, and business card case (why?). Sakaguchi-san also appeared in front of the press after disappearing for 2 years...looks like he was having a long vacation in Hawaii.

Well, I dont know what else I missed, but I'm sure other sites will have info and impressions soon. For now, I guess I can see if I can answer anyone's questions...but I'll be sleeping soon, make it quick!

November 19, 2003 - Hundreds lined up outside the Virgin Cinemas complex in Tokyo's Roppongi area today in anticipation of Square Enix's unveiling of Final Fantasy XII, the first traditional entry in the FF series since Final Fantasy X some two years back.

At the presentation, Square Enix showed off a three minute trailer of the game and had various staff members (including the father of Final Fantasy, Mr. Hironobu Sakaguchi himself!) comment on what we can expect from the game. We'll have some details on the unveiling conference shortly, but in the meanwhile here are some of the new bits and pieces that were revealed on Final Fantasy XII itself.
FFXII takes place in a Mediterranean-influenced world called Ivalice (this is actually the same world as featured in Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, only this is the first time the world has been shown in such detail that we can make such statements as "Mediterranean-influenced). At the center of the game's story are its hero Vann (17) and heroine Ashe (19). Vann lives in the Damaska Kingdom, which has been captured by the Arcadia Empire. Vann has a personal connection to the conquest of the Kingdom by the Empire in that he lost his family to the Empire. He dreams of becoming an air pirate and one day earning his own ship so that he can escape the empire.

Ashe, meanwhile, is the princess of the Damaska Kingdom. Seeing as how her father the King was killed at the hands of the Empire, she's the only heir to the throne. She's been missing since the end of the war that her Kingdom lost to the Empire. She forms a resistance group in order to take on the empire, meeting along the way.

The video trailer showed numerous sequences from the game, including events, battles and pre-rendered computer graphics. Visually, it's clear that the game has improved considerably over Final Fantasy X, with characters who look more detailed and animate smoothly (no more of the shaky movement of the previous installment). Surprisingly, it was revealed that the characters use far fewer polygons than their FFX counterparts, suggesting that the good looks are due to better shading and texturing routines.

FFXII seems to borrow a bit from previous Final Fantasy games. The main characters are listed as class "Humes," which is recognizable from Final Fantasy XI. The "Judge" character from Final Fantasy Tactics makes an appearance in the game as well. In Tactics, the Judge characters were a special group of Knights who promoted law and order by overseeing battles and penalizing those who disobeyed the rules. In FFXII, the Judge characters form a group of "Knights of Terror" and serve as an adversary to Ashe and Vann. A Judge character can be seen in the logo artwork for the game, pictured to the right.

In some ways, FFXII is the final product of a vision producer Yasumi Matsuno had for a game eight years ago. Back when producing the original FF Tactics, Matsuno had a vision he wanted to achieve but was unable to, the idea of an immature world, where human rights aren't at the same level as that of our world. You'll be able to see this idea in FFXII through the cast-based society present in the game.

Also discussed at the presentation was a bit on the game's sound component. While famed composer Nobuo Uematsu wasn't present, his counterpart, Hitoshi Sakimoto, who's also working on the game gave out a few comments. It was revealed that FFXII will feature a theme-song-like-thing at the end of the game, although the team is actually trying to do something different this time around. Apparently, what comes at the end of FFXII won't be just a theme song with lyrics, but something beyond that -- something new. No, specifics weren't revealed.

Produced by Yasumi Matsuno (Final Fantasy Tactics, Ogre Battle, Vagrant Story) and featuring art direction by Hideo Minaba (FFVI, FF Tactics, and FFIX), character and 3D map direction by Akihiko Yoshida (FF Tactics, Tactics Ogre, Vagrant Story) and background art by Isamu Kamikokuryou (FFVIII, and FFX), today's early look at the game gives the impression of something great to come. A Japanese release is planned for Summer of 2004.

Stay tuned for more details and screens from FFXII to follow.

Benzo, esos links no tiran.

No me refería a físico de personaje sino al tipo de éste, al arte empleado. Vaya, que lo podrías colar en el X-2 y no te desentonaría para nada.
En fin, esto es muy subjetivo, sólo expresaba mi opinión.
