I played this game like a year ago at E3. It seemed like it's well on it's way. Awesome battle system too.

At last! When Square failed to release a single new screenshot since May 2005, I knew they had something special planned. I wasn't disappointed - this has totally been the year-long wait! I hear rumors that Square is gearing up the hype machine and has plans to release another screenshot around October! Get out the drool cup! Already gotten! Droooool!

It takes time to port it to the 360.
No worries. :lol

Nonono, October is when they announce the future announcement of the future release of another screenshot.

They can take their sweet time making this (and have). 'Cause if it's anything close to the shitfest that is FFX (jesus that game has not aged well AT ALL), then FF may truly be dead to me. Good thing is this game is looking stunning and by all accounts, I won't have to worry about pronouncing anything dead.

man SquarEnix must be working their ass of for this title.
hopefully we will get a release date at E3

This wait is killing me...sometimes I try to be pessimistic about games so as to never be dissappointed but now I'm seriously having doubts that the released game will be the same as what was seen...that is to say that I seriously believe that the game will be reverting back to the more standard FF style.
I had hoped that FFXI and then FFXII after it would bring in a new gameplay style...and I still hope that this is the case...but I'm not so sure anymore

Ok finally some solid details about what's been happening in the FFXII development offices this past 12 months (*):
- Matsuno's perfectionalism made him drive his team like slaves in perfecting the CGI interaction for a FMV kiss between Ashe and her yet-unnamed husband (who dies before the game begins)
- E3 2005 will be the "Year of the Matsuno" as his team proclaims, featuring the first exclusive screening of a trailer featuring this new kiss scene. Unfortunately because of the time spent on this particular scene there will be no other new footage or playable code available at the show floor
- When asked when FFXII itself will be completed and release, Matsuno had this to say: "When a man and a woman get officially married in a ceremony, they kiss. It is something I felt needed the most personal touches to bring to life. Now ask yourself what a man and woman do to consumate this marriage now bonded by ceremony. That will require much more..... intimate touches from my team and I promise it will be worthwhile."
- When asked if FFXII is still scheduled for release on the PS2, Matsuno gave a less promising answer: "The ball is in Sony's court. If the PS3 is backwards compatible, then this game will definitely be on PS2 code. If not, we might have to make a 360 degree turn and consider other options."

Whatchootalkinbout. Asides from the sphere grid breaking down later in the game, FFX's battle system was freaking awesome.

This information is from Uso! Jump which comes out every other Thursday.
On the second page of the interview, Matsuno apologized for trying to take the series in a different direction and promised the "new" FFXII would be "more in line with what fans expect - no, demand." The Breath of Fire: Dragon Quarter team looked on in stony silence.

Pretty easy choice, innit? Yeah, I didn't think Jump was too reliable either.

The game will probably come out very late in PS2's life. PS3 might be out by then and Japanese gamers might ignore FFXII for PS3? Lol?
I think they want the game to be b/c with PS3.

DQVII was released in Japan after the PS2. Because of backwards compatibility, a lot of people bought PS2s instead of PSones to play it - the "system seller" for PS2 was a PSone game!
If FFXII takes much longer to come out, Matsuno could be facing a similar situation.

thats impossible, maybe in Japan but not here. UNLESS they are recording/translating both the English and Japanese voices/text simultaneously.
