Doesnt make much sense for a street urchin to dress like a sky pirate before he actually becomes a sky pirate.

the difference between "street urchin" and "sky pirate" is...a white shirt?

 

[True Fire]

Who's Hiroaki Kato, and where is Ito? This is his baby?

Ito is busy working on a particularly stubborn stain on the floor

That's why I said alt-costume. Can do others for other characters as well. FF games have had lots of costume options for a while now and it would be a good addition to FFXII HD. They don't really have to make sense in the story (and rarely do).

Plus, as a couple posts above me said, it's really basically just giving him a shirt.

have you seen how humid and dirty rabanastre is and how everyone else dresses there a clean white shirt there is a luxury

(i meant that in jest lol but i guess it kinda does speak to a bit of truth)

 

[The Emperor]

Your FFXVI director

 

[True Fire]

Your FFXVI director

Kato is a D List Square Enix team member lol.

Ito was supposedly working on XVI since 2006. I'm sure it'll be a fantastic game once Tabata finishes it by 2030.

While the quality of life improvements are definitely welcomed, I am still concerned with how the job system is going to play out. One of the most appealing things in Final Fantasy XII for me was its openness with regard to how you wanted build your squad. Obviously I've not played it yet, but on paper the job system seems like a step down from that level of freedom present in the original version.

 

[Elginer]

Already preordered. Just gimme a release date and sweet sweet Pro support.

 

[ss_lemonade]

It's looking pretty good, but that frame rate is really.. unoptimized.

Even the PS4 version doesn't look too far above what I played on the Vita at E3.

Wait, what? Vita? I was at last year's PAX and only saw the game running on PS4s

you lose some freedom to make everyone a jack of all trades, sure- but it does add a level of strategy to the original game that should present some additional challenge- especially since most of us buying this will have already have played through the base game at some point.

I like FFXII- it's probably my pick for best in the series if you had to ask- but i will freely admit that half the party was completely useless for most of the game since there was no need to use them. my base party of ashe/balthier/bach could do anything and everything- outside of the rare points where I needed to use quickenings just for the sake of using them, or resurrecting someone that died.

 

[manzoman96]

Can't wait to finally give this game a try.

 

[AugustBlade]

I can't wait to finally finish this game. It's the only FF I've ever actually liked.

 

[Robdraggoo]

Whats the turbo mode?

 

[ss_lemonade]

Whats the turbo mode?

Fast forward, like how emulators give you a throttle button. Really helpful when grinding. It was an option available in the original zodiac japanese release I believe on the ps2

 

[stargateheaven]

If u compare some textures of walls etc in the pcsx2 to this version (trailer) they've actually added and made better textures too.

I was REALLLLY hoping this game was coming in march..

Whats the turbo mode?

L1 to double speed and i believe x4 if u press again.

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about that either... could end up being a negative for me because I like trying to masters all the different trades. I know if you couldn't switch Jobs (only upgrade linearly) in FFT or TO somehow, I'd dislike it there, too.

I'd rather see it handled like Tactics where you just have to switch out of combat... e.g. only at Save Points, only in towns, only at the Clan Hall with a cost. So still gotta choose your layout and plan your team for each journey, but still let's you master all the different jobs and experiment more.

That said, we'll see... There are games with no respecs/class changes that work great.

 

[QuantumZebra]

Since I don't recognize FFXV this will be my first FF of the next generation. Excited!

 

[Skulldead]

an auto-save feature will be added

As much i don't like that idea, i think it will be usefull for endgame hunt... some of them were brutal.... Sometimes luck based...

 

[TLZ]

This looks very.... old? And blurry...

Is this really a remaster?

 

[K.Jack]

This is THE one Final Fantasy that I was to come to Steam.

 

[mieumieu]

Square Enix PR is weird. They even do localized PR meetings here (same old presentation, same old demo as TGS 2016) acting as if local players were not able to see coverages from elsewhere.

Just give us the release date and be done with it.

Also low quality streams doesn't really show the graphics improvement as well as full HD trailers and screenshots.

 

[Ray Down]

Such a dedicated janitor.

I'm really hoping there's an option to use original system instead of being forced to use the International system like how the X remaster gave the option to choose which sphere grid you wanted to use. I don't like the sound of the changes in the International version at all. :/

Considering how fashionable Balthier and Fran are, it would've made a lot of sense for Balthier to at least say something like 'If you're going to be traveling with me to become a true sky pirate, you must at least look the part." or something like that then buy him a shirt after they escape the prison. It's really simple.

It's the video quality.

I liked how one NPC in Rabanastre commented that the two of them were absurdly good-looking. It's true and I ship it.

Also, I feel like Balthier's more of an exception than a rule.

 

[Auto_aim1]

I don't remember anything about this game so it should be fun.

 

[GARlockSpiral]

Looks very.....eh.

Then again, i thought the original was easily one of the worst games of 2006, only topped by sonic 06, so IMO this is an easy contender for worst game of the year.

Maybe it'll be good or maybe something will be even worse. We'll see.

sonic 06 is barely functional. FFXII on the other hand is fully functional, highly polished and very much enjoyable for a lot of people. It is not comparable in any way.

 

[Lightning]

After Kingdom Hearts 2.5 this is by far my most anticipated game. I can't wait for this game to launch.

 

[pottuvoi]

Loved the way they handled athmospherics in the game, also some in some locations character lighting was very nice.

No, all sky pirates are extremely fashionable. What on earth are you talking about?

Is that only for combats, or for everything? Because I personally found the dungeons and areas WAY too long, thus boring to traverse through (especially the damn desert). A true fast-forward for everything would really help with that. The combat on the other hand I found very fun, and wouldn't want to turbo through it.

 

[The Dude]

Well the only thing I want and need is the ability to invert left to right cam controls, if it lacks that still I'm gonna be pissed

Yes to this; that was so annoying and I couldn't ever get used to it.

 

[Putty]

Can't wait!

 

[Thoraxes]

Whoa. I hadn't heard that clip yet. What a difference! I hope we get to hear more of the rerecords soon.

(It's odd that it's been transposed, though...)

Usually when something like that happens it's either because the creator just wanted to change it, or more commonly something with the wind players didn't translate well when writing the parts for actual humans.

That all said, his stuff sounds great with this medium.

 

[potatohead]

Give me this to wash out the taste of FFXV please.

.

 

[Falchion]

This looks like a lot of fun.

 

[Kashiwaba]

Give me this to wash out the taste of FFXV please.

Why? As much as i didn't like XV the ending left a very good after taste in my mouth, if there is anything that saved that game. It's the ending.

 

[Xaero Gravity]

Nice.

Pro support?

Also, can I fucking finally uninvert the God damn camera?

I hope so, otherwise it's going to be unplayable for me.

Yeah, my initial guess was that it was done for the benefit of the performers. I do wish the budget was higher so that more of the synthesized instruments (especially the brass) could be swapped out for the real deal. It's still a definite upgrade but the melding of real and synth elements sounds a little awkward in places.

 

[Ray Down]

No Steam announcement right?

This isn't the event to announce that, lol.

 

[burgerdog]

They better have a horizontal camera invert option. That shit makes the original so hard to play.

 

[Spukc]

impressed how this game already puts 15 to shame

 

[Gojeran]

But what about the x-axis.............................................?

This is the most important question.

 

[ss_lemonade]

It works everywhere, when you want to use it AFAIK

 

[ULTROS!]

That would be X lol


XII is solid but god are the summon designs the ugliest in any of the games

XII's overall theme was kinda boring though, plus the music.

 

[Huge Succeeded]

The PC port will probably be locked framerate again so not a whole lot of reason to wait if you have a ps4

iirc FFX can't be made to run in 60fps at all because of how the game was made, but FFXII already runs just fine 60fps emulated on a PC so who knows

 

[WooHooAlex]

Easily my favorite FF (and probably my second favorite game of all time)
Hoping we get an April release date announced on the 31st.

 

[ss_lemonade]

Was there a 60fps hack for pcsx2?
