There's a new trailer out.

And oh my fucking god.

Even during gameplay, the graphics just... kick fucking ASS.

Does anyknow know spoken japanese, btw?

The main char looks as fruity as fuck in his little harem boy vest, but it looks like a much darker game.

LOOK.

I seem to remember being able to turn on and off turn-based or ATB mode in FFVII at least...

Remember, it is like Vaegrant Story, but it takes place in Ivalice (FF Tactics domain)

Aside from the unfortunate tragedy of the hero looking like Lemmy, it looks pretty badass.

Was that some job-changing action I saw in the battles?

Down in front!

But I agree with the general feeling so far that it looks good except for the main character.

I wouldn't call the graphics in gameplay ass kicking, but there were certainly some nice looking cinematics. Lets hope they have more of those then they did in FFX-2

I don't really like those games but I do wonder, why did they stop releasing them for PC after 7? Keyboard / mouse controls seem far more suited to an RPG than a gamepad.

Acutally one of the major things I hate about the concept is the fact that the controls are so horribly inefficent. To use an item I have to go through ~6 keystrokes where with a mouse it would easily work in two or one if you implemented a quickitem system. Same for spells, combat functions, etc.

Life... is like a box of chocolates. A cheap, thoughtless, perfunctory gift that nobody ever asks for. Unreturnable, because all you get back is another box of chocolates. You're stuck with this undefinable whipped-mint crap that you mindlessly wolf down when there's nothing else left to eat. Sure, once in a while, there's a peanut butter cup, or an English toffee. But they're gone too fast, the taste is fleeting. So you end up with nothing but broken bits, filled with hardened jelly and teeth-crunching nuts, and if you're desperate enough to eat those, all you've got left is a... is an empty box... filled with useless, brown paper wrappers.

I thought FFs on the PC were much better and never felt tempted to get a console JUST for FF games even though I enjoy them a lot.

They stopped releasing them mostly because it was too much extra work for too litle payoff.

Which is stupid because if they'd have carried on releasing them at a decent quality, people would have caught on. FFIX would have been popular on PCs I believe.

And I -LOVE- Vaan for his look. He is my new favorite Final Fantasy Boy. Locke and Squall just don't stand up anymore and I don't even know Vaan's personality yet. I'm pleased.

I agree I definitely saw some Vagrant Story influences in there. If it is then this game will be great just like Vagrant Story was. That and I'm glad the Square-Enix has gone to darker games. Seriously now, dressspheres? WTF!?

From how I read it, it said it wased based on FFT:A, which if I recall correctly wasn't Ivalice. Then again, I didn't play FFT:A, so ignore me if I'm wrong.

FFT:A was Ivalice, just not the one from FFT. In FFT:A, the main characters enjoy the Final Fantasy game that takes place in Ivalice (FFXII) which then leads Mewt into creating the world of FFT:A into a similar world called Ivalice.
