The full FF12 trailer with the theme song "Kiss Me Good Bye".

Man, this looks fucking awesome.

 

[DarienA]

Well if nothing else the CG and game engine cut scenes look good....

 

[Mau ®]

That's amazing!!! There were points I would wander "ok that looks a lil bit too good to be realtime but it actually is."

The gameplay might not be very FF like but the cutscenes sure are from a mainline Final Fantasy.

 

[BlueTsunami]

The story in this game looks to be very good (just judging by the cast of characters and the cinematics). I can't wait for this game.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

Can't wait man!

 

[norinrad21]

A tragic love fest.......i can't wait

 

[MadFuzzy]

Cheesy-song-tastic. Only 2 months to go now tho!

 

[Xellotah]

A tragic love fest

Oh noes!!

Edit: Actually the videos quite good.

 

[Apenheul]

This movie got my interest in FFXII back

 

[fse]

When does it come out again in NA?

 

[Blimblim]

Very cool trailer, too bad it's on a sucky youtube link. I can't stand the macroblocks of these horrible flash videos. Let me know if the full video is available somewhere and I'll host it.

 

[TekunoRobby]

It's not bad. Square definitely knows how to do great real-time and pre-rendered cinematics, that's for sure.

 

[jett]

Cut-scene graphics and direction is incredible. Too bad the in-game stuff is noticeably downgraded.

 

[Ceb]

Too bad the in-game stuff is noticeably downgraded.

???

Do you mean the difference in visual fidelity between the CG and real-time stuff, or the difference between real-time cutscene/real-time playable?

If it's the latter, we've hardly seen videos and media from anything other than wilderness areas, so it's a bit hard to compare. Rabanastre as of E3 2004 looked brilliant though.

 

[Kuroyume]

Well, the song is a disappointment. :/

 

[Zilch]

Sweet. Pretty obvious who dies, though. (Guess we already knew that)

 

[Karg]

Such a long wait for this gem, I'd better have a gaming explosion in my pants when I play this.

 

[TheJollyCorner]

Sweet. Pretty obvious who dies, though. (Guess we already knew that)

this is a Matsuno game.
Atleast 70% of the characters will die.

 

[sammy]

ughhh... music.so.bad....

but man, this looks great ---- I'm so pumped about the new gameplay, finally a FF offering up something new.

everything else looks like a nice 'return to form' to the great airships of yore

 

[Wario64]

Horrible song

 

[TheJollyCorner]

FF has always had airships, numbnuts (and I mean that it the nicest possible way )

 

[sammy]

FF has always had airships, numbnuts (and I mean that it the nicest possible way )

true, but this one seems all about it (as a technology) - even with the judges and dragoons, it just feels very old-school ---- and doens't have the crazy essentric character-designs that X had, they seem extremely tastefull now especially for a FF

I just played through IV for the first time, and this preview is reminding me of the flair that that game had

 

[Jonk]

Well the music is bad.

All the Characters look forgettable.

The range of emotions looks limited.

Everyone looks like they are depressed emotionally or confused.

The art style doesnt stand out a much (from other FF games) as it could with this trailer.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Hawt stuff.

Well, the song is a disappointment. :/

"Eyes on Me" and nothing else rocks in JRPGs.

this is a Matsuno game. Atleast 70% of the characters will die.

True. :lol

 

[jett]

Sweet. Pretty obvious who dies, though. (Guess we already knew that)

Of course. He probably dies within 5 minutes. Seems like Square didn't even bother to name the poor bastard.

And yeah, I'm talking about real-time cut-scene graphics vs. in-game graphics.

 

[speedpop]

Another video to whep the appetite!

 

[Aurora]

Damn, looks smoking.

Some of the costumes in the game look sexy as hell.

Needs more belts (and buckles!)!

 

[choplifter]

good trailer - the theme reminds me more of FF8. big improvement over FFX, FFX-2



the old king looks *really* cool. I hope he plays a large role in the game, not just an appearance or two.

Naturally, I mean the old king is obviously showing his loyalty and respect to almighty Chuck Norris.

 

[ioi]

I like it, looks very good !

heh. I meant the OLD OLD king....I think he's a king. anyway, this old guy:

 

[Amir0x]

This game is gonna be so awesome, god. Come on and get out in Japan already so we can get our Fall 2006 announcement.

 

[Takuan]

None of that was new! Disappointment total.

 

[Ranger X]

Looks so good and i so like the art!!

but WHY the battle system like that... WHY?!?!?!

 

[AndoCalrissian]

Whoa. Looking quite epic. My only hopes are that they do something with the bad camera from the demo and that the game isn't mission based like the demo.

 

[Y2Kev]

I like the music.

I can't wait anymore. I'm going to learn Japanese to get this game early.

 

[rod]

@bad music, music is one o the major reasons i love FF so much

 

[brandonh83]

That was excellent. Loved the song.

 

[Red Blaster]

I was listening to "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac when I loaded up the trailer. That song fits better than what was actually in the trailer.

 

[Takuan]

Which makes it awesome. WHO will die is the question.

I'd bet my cock Basche dies doing something noble.

 

[PC Gaijin]

Aryan Fantasy XII. I can see the two getting married since they're probably both of royal blood, but half the characters shown so far look like they're close relations.

Anyway, I have a lot of expectations for this title -- FFXI influence and Matsuno are both big draws for me.

 

[BioFan]

cant imagine how Final Fantasy will look on PS3...gonna be amazing.

this game should have been a PS3 launch title...even with just High res textures, I wont be complaining...

 

[Servizio]

Streaming hurts me in my soul. Like Blim said, where's the downloadable full version?

 

[Illuminati]

Some of the costumes in the game look sexy as hell.

I hope you are talking about the female costumes and not the metrosexuals.

Still this game this game is going to be fantastic, well it better be since it has been in development forever. That one guy who looks like Chuck Norris must be the badass villan\turned good guy of the game, like Seifer of FFVIII.

 

[Diablos]

I'm afraid to hear the theme song.

brandon: I like your avatar.

 

[choplifter]

Final Fantasy on PS3 could look something *like* FF12 CG minus heavy FSAA and if they keep the framerate to ~30 fps. not as good as FF12 CG of course, and not even close technically, but to the eye, pretty close. but not until FF14 once Square Enix is comfortable on PS3.

 

[jiggle]

Looks great.


I bet one of the judges turns out to be

Spoiler

the dead Dalmascan king

.

Yeah, I kind of agree. Music was alright. Main characters too generic, since they're always so focused on making them have perfect looks. I like slightly more distinct characters as the main characters. Some of the side characters look great though. And I wish there were a few FF's that weren't so melodramatic and emotional, but they do it well even if we won't get something too new in this one. Matsuno assures it will be pretty damn interesting still. And the art style.. nothing notably impressive here, but the pre-production art for this game has me excited to see it all come together. I'm still giving it a shot.

 

[brandonh83]

brandon: I like your avatar.

Thanks, but what are the chances. =\

I personally don't see how the new song is really all that much different than the other recent FF theme songs... but maybe that's why some of you (most of you) don't like it. :lol I personally think it has a nice melody and good vocal work.
