1 Are there gonna be hidden/optional characters or summon like in previous FF games? ( like ff7's vincent and yufie or ff10's optional aeon yojimbo)

2. is the special edition version worth the extra bucks

3. I wonder what major twist will happen in this game...FF games are famous for mid game twists ya know. ( like ff7's sephiroth twist or ff10's yuna twist)

4. Is there gonna be a crappy love story in this one? ( this is a stupid question because we all know there is gonna be one -_-)

5. Will there be a reward for beating the game on active battle mode?

6. I wonder who's gonna be this game's badass character? ( like auron from ff10 or sephiroth from ff7)

7. I wonder if there are gonna be any easter eggs...( Like in ff9 there was some music from ff7 hidden in it)
All of Cold's answers are primarily correct, but here are the answers that I have gathered and infered.

Q1-I believe there will be, but like Cold said, we won't know till we play. SE hasn't confirmed anything of the sort, and from the GameFAQs searching I've done, I don't think there will be.

Q2-OF COURSE IT IS! C'mon, that cool metal case, and the intriguing inside art is awesome. Not to mention the bonus disc.

Q3-Ha ha, I've done some research on this one, and there will be twists abound. One to watch for SPOILERS AHEARD Watch the character Vayne; he's the one with long black hair.

Q4-From what I've read and reseached, there is no clear love story that is told in the game. However, one can easily pick up on the romantic subtleties between Penelo and Vaan. Some say Ashe and Basch or Balthier may have a thing going on. Honestly, who knows? I'm pretty sure that there is a thing btwn Vaan and Penelo though. I've personally always liked the love stories.

Q5-I have no idea.

Q6-Hmm...I think Balfear will fit that badass, secondary male lead in the game. Still, who knows? That's just my guess. I think Balthier looks like a cool character though. It could be Basch too.

Q7-Most likely. SE is known for alot of things, one of which is the inclusion of easter eggs in their games.

primarily? lol Realy nothing cannot be confirmed untill all of us play the game, I have seen every vid on Youtube and unfortuently cought some spoilers along the way.. :( damn! but there not that big of a deal.. Lets just play the game and answer these questions again when we have the answers, most of those questions were asked on a basis of knowing the game in and out, we will know that soon enough.

Alright now.... My first impression of the game.... :love: :love: :love: :love:



OMFG... Thats all I can realy say about this gorgeous, fantastic, super game. From the voice overs to the game play to the story this game has it all, from what I have already played (about 4 hours) that game kick major ass and I do believe square has out done them selves!!!! In my opinion the wait was well worth it. I will not ruin anything as of yet until all of you have had time to play the game but WOW....I am in awe! Anyways enjoy the game and please post your thoughts here.

Now it's time for my first impression of Final Fantasy XII...

"Discover the secret that will unravel an empire."

I love it when FF games get an awesome tag line. I also love it even more when that tagline can deliver the drama and epic sensation it conveys in its game.

I knew FFXII would be amazing. What I didn't know, however, was that it would be, simply put, gorgeous. And I'm not just talking visuals. Everything about FFXII is gorgeous. The visuals...The characters, the gameplay, the story. Everything. Right when I started playing and saw the first cinematic, I was blown away. The characters are incredible aswell. You can see Ashe's inner struggles perfectly...

I was worried about the battle system, but now that I've tinkered with it a little bit, I'm starting to like it. I can't give you a full thought until I've played with other characters besides just Vaan. However, the system is fresh and new, and though it appears to be real time, in terms of the game engine, the battle system is actually turn based, solely because of the wait bar. Still, the game is very real-time.

Final Fantasy XII is a wonderful game. However...There is not a single game in the world that is perfect. FFXII has some problems, BUT THEY ARE SMALL problems individually. My biggest problem so far is...

-The camera. The camera angles can be very tedious.

-Ok, this may sound kind of weird, but FFXII has a very expansive world. Everything is living and breathing, and when you see a metropolis, you can literally explore every corner of that metropolis. Such is the case with Rabanastre. Now, don't get me wrong, that's really quite amazing, but it can be annoying having to back track. There's literally so much in this world that you don't know when to stop exploring. That provides excellent replay value, but at the same time, will constantly worry the player if he/she is doing things the right way at the right time.

Still, FFXII is gorgeous. Why are you still staring at this monitor? GO GET IT NOW.

So glad you guys made a thread for this! I have been playing this game non stop! I have never been a fan of final fantasy games but this one really got me hooked, I was really glad that this game no longer suffer those moments when you just walk around and poof an enemy appears, unlike the previous ff games I literally flee from random battles due to boredom but with this one I had and want to seek enemies for level up and licenses purposes. I have no complaints with the battle system its good..I agree with the vast worlds though it kept me thinking if I was getting ahead of the story. Also I'm not entirely sure with the dubbing, the british accents is okay but there are times when it sounded awkward... Still this is a beautiful game and a must to play!
