Yeah, I'm sure the programmers just couldn't figure out how to program the game to automatically switch characters. OR... it was a stylistic choice and they didn't want to automatically switch the characters and instead leave it up to the player to switch them. OMG?

Well, it was the demo and not the final game.
It isn't a big deal at first, but after 40+ hours it could get tiring. I think in FFX once the turn meter filled up for a character it was automatically selected for you to chose a command. However, you could press (triangle?) and skip to the next available person. I liked that better than doing "everything" manually like in the demo. However, it was just the demo.

That's all I'm going to say, I don't want to get tagged as someone that hates games with no fingers or hates FFXII because I'm too lazy to select a character myself. And I apologize to duckroll and the others for ruffling the chocobo's feathers.

Oh Noes I'm a Chocobo Molester.

The demo sucked ass. Square should really have released the E3 2004 demo to show people what the REAL game was like. But then again knowing Matsuno's team they probably DON'T want people to know what the real game is like. Which is why Vagrant Story's "demo" was an interactive comic cutscene trailer.

Anyone want to venture a guess how the Battle Speed Slider comes into affect? The ratio for calculating the duration of the ATB?

Download of "Hope" please! K THX bye!

Diablos · Mar 2, 2006

In case anyone was wondering... 100KB per save.

^ From the back of the case, of course.

Not bad considering DQ8 takes up 176-178KB.

FFX US takes up about 63KB per save.
FFX-2 Japan took like 400KB+ per save (according to Scarlet), that's nuts.

Considering I'll want to have like 100 saves for this game, I think it may be time for to get a new memory card ^^; I kinda want the official one with its slick white look, but dunno.

Should I throw up the high resolution "Kiss Me Goodbye" music video or is there already a downloadable link in this thread?

thetrin · Mar 2, 2006

Sigh, I really hope the August release date on the EBgames site is accurate. I fiend for this game.

No wai! How much is that? I saw another PS2 memory card from Japan (officially licensed), it's white, looks really slick.

I have 4MB of space left on my card. By the time it hits the US they may optimize it a little, making saves require less space. But then again, they've delayed the game so many times, I'm sure they tweaked the save system as much as they could.

100KB per save really isn't that bad if you think about how big this game is. Lots of armor, items, etc. etc.

MidgarBlowedUp · Mar 2, 2006

Makes fun of everyone that doesn't have the PS2 HDD. :lol :lol :lol
Seriously, pick up an old PS2, slap the 40GB HDD in it, learn to use HDD Loader Free.

Faster load times and unlimited save space does wonders for RPG's.

Diablos · Mar 2, 2006

Is FFXII on a dual layer disc, though?
I hear dual layer discs don't work with hdloader.

It better be on a DVD9, I would feel more rassured on the length of the game...

A DVD9 would only reassure you on the length of CG and recording speech.

Himuro said:
Why do you want this game in August? This game MUST come out no later than fucking June. SquareEnix USA has had YEARS to localize this. Fuck them.

Because EBgames always overestimates localization ability. When was the last time they actually moved a release date forward by 2 months? I just hope the August is accurate. If it's earlier, then fine. It won't be, though. We won't get it that quickly.

OK, I'm using HDD Loader, but how are you using the HDD for save space?

声優陣の挨拶に続いてステージに登場したのは、『FFXII』のサウンドトラックを担当した作曲家の崎元仁氏。崎元氏は今回の作曲作業について、次のようにコメントした。
「『ファイナルファンタジータクティクス』の音楽を担当したときも緊張しましたが、今回は本筋のタイトルということでとても緊張し、植松〈伸夫）さんに相談にのってもらいながらつくっていきました。ゲーム中で使用する曲は、アレンジ違いなども含めて全部で130曲くらい。間を空けながら少しずつ書いていったので、マラソンのようでしたが、ようやく発売となり感無量です。僕も青春を賭けたプロジェクトになりました（笑）」〈崎元仁氏）

It wasn't 'Hope' but the music video to "Kiss Me Goodbye" by Angela Aki. I'll reupload it now though.

Guns N' Poops · Mar 2, 2006

I'm very disappointed in Kiss Me Goodbye. The songs in FFVIII - X were classic material, while Kiss Me Goodbye doesn't feel any special. What do you guys/girls think of it?

Kiss Me goodbye is not worth a damn shit.

Sakimoto worked on FFT music and it was a stressful time. Sakimoto worked on FFXII music and it was even more stressfull. Sakimoto consulted Uematsu in how to deal with the massive undertaking. Worked like it was a nonstop marathon. Produced a 130 musical pieces for the soundtrack. Sakimoto is very happy for it to finally be done.

Happy?

Oh, and Angela Aki sucks. Kokoro no Senshi reminds me of a Bond song in a VERY bad way and Kiss me Goodbye is another one of those narcisitic my voice is beautiful, screw using any REAL music to accompany it gag fest. IMO, of course! ;P

Seriously though, the music is really hard for me to listen to. It's kinda grating, to me.

Simo · Mar 2, 2006

IMO, it's oceans apart. I guess, the way I see it is if you like that overvocalized sappy style of singing... "Did you ever know that you're my heerooo!" kinda singing then you might like "Kiss Me Goodbye". And Kokoro no Senshi reminds me of a Bond song. How you take that, is up to you. I can't remember which one it specifically reminds me of, but yeah.

Suteki da ne, was beautiful, by the way.

WTF, KH1 and KH2 had great theme songs. So did Xenogears, Xenosaga, FFVIII,FFIX,FFX,FFX-2 (the later one, not the first one), pretty much every Tales game. Heck I even enjoy the Grandia III OP even though it's a pretty meh song (I think the Japanese lyrics fit the theme perfectly).

I have no problem with theme songs by famous singers, but they just need to be good.

Sorry, but no! Suteki was utter garbage!

Wow, I'll just say I stroooooooooongly disagree. Suteki de na was a powerful beautiful love song that fit the game's theme perfectly.

Thanks a whole bunch. I'm not too impressed with this song but all the other music I've heard so far rocks and sounds very Tactics-esque which, IMO, is a good thing.
