God, I love this game.
I've genuinely never understood this.
Pretty much.
Couldn't find much else though. He just has too much... metal and it clashes real, real weird with no shirt.
Should been a launch game for ps3
You probably never watched any Star Wars movie. The inspiration is beyond obvious, it's palpable.
I get that it's similar but I also feel it's one of those Neogaf sayings like "Super Mario 3D World is 2D Mario in a 3D game"

Didn't the developers acknowledge SW as a major influence? Some people go a bit overboard with the comparison but the influence is pretty obvious, yeah.
Fran is Chewbacca.
I never really enjoyed this 11 years ago, I was only 12 though and was very upset that they 'changed FF'. I also didn't like Vaan.
I've been talking to several friends at work recently about this HD remaster and after enjoying FFXIV, contemplating it. I feel like I might enjoy the game nowadays versus back then.
The new stuff they've added in Zodiac look fun.

It's not even getting as sweeping of a remaster as FFX and that was released four years ago, and was two games.
It may review well but I don't expect it to sell very well. This is a filler release for them - an excuse to port it to x86 for future port jobs.

I thought it was a good story, just too sparse. So much open terrain to explore and huge tombs to raid with comparatively little exposition in-between.
Also, in contrast to most JRPGs and anime, the characters don't melodramatically beat you over the head with their personality and loudly/repeatedly explain their inner thoughts. There's a lot of reading between the lines involved.
E.g.
the artifacts Ashe seeks to prove her lineage are basically nuclear weapons, and she realizes she could use them to get revenge against the empire. If this were FF XIII, she would loudly and repeatedly agonize over the decision in cutscene after cutscene while the characters shared their trite, grade school-level philosophy with her. Whereas in XII there are only a few lines spoken about it. The writers leave it to you to put yourself in her shoes and empathize with her. And there is also a lot that is said through body language and facial expressions.

NAH, FFX fulfilled that wish already.
However, I already pre-ordered and payed off my steelbook edition, so I'm eagerly awaiting this one!

It got delayed several years and launched while all the hype was focused on Xbox 360 and PS3. It was also dramatically different from Final Fantasy X.
There were also some very legitimate complaints about it, some of which are fixed in Zodiac Age.
I think it will get a lot more appreciation than it did in 2006.

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age OST - The Dalmasca Estersand
The music in the original was GOAT, these remastered ones are even better.

Same. Did she do voiceovers for any other game?

it's so SO good. With 2 jobs per character, we can finally use all the jobs in one playthrough!
I hope next single player mainline FF game would match this quality.

As always, it looks great overall.
But does anyone know if their work on it is pretty much finished now until launch?
Please make some new ground textures
I hope they still add these small gameplay fixes:
- Give an option to make action menu appear automatically when a character with gambits off has his turn.
- Remove the short character stop when holstering a weapon. It gets annoying after a while.

I think it's going to be very useful to combine high-speed/light armor jobs with slower heavy armor jobs.
In particular, Time Mage would make a surprisingly great upgrade for Monk or Hunter. Time Mage uses heavy armor and crossbows, so it adds a great set of abilities to the classes that are limited to light armor and melee weapons.

So hyped! This is the best single player Final Fantasy game.
A metallic Aladdin with platinum blonde hair and tan skin.
Everything about him looks weird, at least from my American perspective. Not sure how he was perceived in Japan, but I would assume they liked him more seeing how he was definitely designed around them.

God damn what a trailer.
I bought it very late (2008 or so), really looking forward to it and found it incredibly underwhelming and disappointing. It was such a direct contrast to what I expect from Final Fantasy that I gave up on it after only playing for only a few hours or so, and didn't play it again for months.
But holy shit, when I went back, something happened. I pushed myself forward, and soon I was making quick progress, experimenting with the systems, exploring the vast world of Ivalice, and my sessions went from 1-2 hours to like 6-8 at a time. I was utterly hooked. Brilliant, brilliant game.
Pretty much. It's probably even more authentic than TFA or RO in some ways.

Oh man this is still my favourite track from FFXII. It's perfection.
I like this remaster more than the one for FFX HD.
Merry band of thieves?
All white mages?
A cloister of monks?
The possibilities are endless
This. You start to really notice it after playing for a few hours. I know that it is way better than battle transitions from IX,X (that's basically what it is), but I'd still love to see them holstering while running.

The best of the modern FF games. I'm beyond excited to play this again (even though I only played it through about a year ago. It still looks good on the PS2, but this looks great.)

It sounds so good, my favourites are this, Eruyt Village and Theme of the Empire I can't wait to hear the remastered versions of those.
