Welcome to Gaia! ::

As always, sorry if this has already been talked about.



Well, I JUST played the Demo for FF 12 today, and it was simply beautiful.

I don't consider this a spoiler becuase I dont know anything about the story line, only the fighting system. biggrin

About the Demo:

It opended up with CG scenes introducing the plot, PM me if you want details. After the opening movie was over, the main menu came with two options.

The first was "Waiting Mode" which makes the game semi turn taking.
The second chioce was "Actve Mode" which makes your skill chosing real time while the enemies take their turns too, simmilar to X-2

While roaming around the only two areas in the demo, you have three characters in your party. You can switch control between all of them. Meaning instead of walking around as Tidus the entire game, you can switch to Wakka, or Rikku, or anyone you want biggrin

Different characters had different weapons, but they all could use magic of some sort. (for more info about specifics PM me)

While roaming around the counryside, the enemies are real time along with you, just like FF 11. You can fight more then one enemy at a time, and you can have different characters target different enemies. The battle system is not like FF X-2, just to clarify. A split screen doesn't occur.

You have control over camera angles, thank God for that biggrin

Another awesome aspect of the battle system is that the characters and block, parry, and miss attacks. They seem to do this by themselves so far, I wasn't making them do it. Also, the melee characters sometimes hit two ro three times instead of only once. This also is random from what I observed while I was playing.

Graphics wise, they were amazing, enough said about that biggrin

Rumors about the species being the same as FF Tactcs Advanced are true.
And obiviously, the location is Ivalice, that is no spoiler. What I want to know is why do the two games that so far seem to have no connection with story, take place in teh same world? Oh well, they made a beautiful game, that is all I can ask from them biggrin

Well, that is all I have, the Demo was very short, it only took me about half an hour to finish biggrin

Until next time,

TGS
