Final Fantasy XII Trailer (14.3 MB)

The file is a .zip file, and I have no idea what type of media it is...:/ I haven\'t finished downloading it yet...

I tried downloading it at IGN, but IGN sucks ass...as you probably all know.

Okay...the video is about 7:38 minutes long...and the quality isn\'t all that great, but I\'m sure an awesome high-res trailer will be available soon for free (stupid IGN).

It\'s a DivX 5.1.1 .avi file...

The video is alright, and it really really really starts to pick up at the end, but I couldn\'t see everything that was going on because of the quality, but this game looks like it might seriously kick some ass.

I heard that they are going to resort back to the FF VII and up days and are going to make a great game with a rich plot and everything. None of that FF-X2 crap that was just put out (I still enjoyed it, but was more annoyed by it than anything else).

Remember those big ass moves like in FFVIII that took like 5 minutes to pull off and were frockin\' huge? Those cool ass moves are back in FFXII.

Anyway...I really hope Square-Enix can make this one a really awesome game and redeem themselves. But unfortunately, we prob won\'t see this one until late 2005 or 2006, as it has recently been delayed in Japan until Spring 2005 because they need to "perfect the game" I guess. Whatever. They might as well make the damn thing for PS3.

I\'m sorry the trailer is such sh** quality, but it\'s at least something. If someone has something high-res, for the love of god, post it!!

So FFXII is going to be an action RPG now??? Doesnt look too bad. Made me think about a lot of NEW directions square could take the FF series.

I entered this thread in the hopes of finding a new trailer. Maybe we\'ll see something fresh at E3.

So FFXII is going to be an action RPG now???

It looks like it\'s going to have two different combat systems, one that\'s like in previous games and one like in Vagrant Story (another RPG by Squaresoft). The combat system in Vagrant Story was slightly more action oriented than in the FF series. Basically you would run around in real time and then when you wanted to attack someone you would press a button (can\'t remember which) and the game would pause and a sphere would appear on screen centering on the main character. The sphere would vary in size depending on the weapon you had in your hands (a large sphere if you had a crossbow, short if you had a sword). Then you could attack anything within the spear.
When your attack landed you could continue with a combo by pressing a button at the exact moment your weapon contacted the enemy. You could also defend against / reverse / drain health from your enemy attacks through the same method.
I hope the combat system in FFXII, the one that looks like Vagrant Story\'s, also has the combo system from VS.

Pretty sweet looking.  Definitely we\'ll need to find a high-res version...

The CGI looks impressive as always, and very nice looking characters...

Vagrant Story was good and I liked the combat system a lot more than in any of the FF games I\'ve played

Disappointed.  

I have disliked every RPG with real time combat, including Vagrant Story, and I don\'t think that\'s going to change for me.  What does interest me is that the world is Ivalice, from Final Fantasy Tactics Advanced.  A game I thoroughly enjoyed.  Hopefully all the races will stay intact and be as playable characters along with the job system.

The trailer looks pretty sweet.  And as a FF fan, this is a must have in my collection along with GTA: San Andreas, MGS3: Snake Eater, and Kingdom Hearts II.

Is there an english one out?

Kingdom hearts 2 - hah.. hadn\'t thought of that...

There\'s a RPG with real-time combat that I absolutely loved!  So maybe we have nothing to worry about for FFXII.  The guys at PA were trashing the realtime combat too.

It\'s hardly realtime. You select what you want to do and then you run around the monster and wait until the character actually performs the action. At least that\'s what it looked like in the latest trailer (the one from E3 2004).

I have faith that Squaresoft will make the fights fun. They haven\'t disappointed me so far.

Edit: Latest trailer

http://ff-fan.dk/FinalFantasyXiie3trailer.wmv (shows Vaan stealing something from a guard, then running off. Vaan and Penelo talk and then it shows Vaan battling monsters)

I think of Kingdom Hearts as a hack n\' slash.  That was quite a bit of fun and I\'m looking forward to the sequel.

Something like parasite eve then or Panzer Dragoon Saga???I am in!!I especially loved Parasite Eve\'s combat system

I think the trend will continue

FF7>FF8>FF10> ??FF12??

Not interested btw

Why dont you just wait and see?
FF8 and FF10 didnt offer much gameplay enhancements since FF7 which was too perfect in its time to achieve again the same perfection.FF12 seems to be the first FF to try a different formula from the one used for almost 2 decades.
And thats whas one of the main reasons FF10 wasnt "all that great".Not that it wasnt a great RPG.But the biggest complain is that it didnt differ almost at all in gameplay compared to its 32 bit predecessors.It was mainly a graphical evolution of the series.
When you see games like Shenmue on a less powerful DC with gameplay features utilising the possibilities of more powerful hardware its a shame that FF10 utilised only graphical superiority of the hardware.
