All 404s.

Drat, beaten to it!

 

[Dopples]

Sorry Minkoff

 

[Vash]

Sorry about that, try them now.

Looks interesting actually. I like the FFTA style drawings and characters. I still wish Penelo would change her blonde pippy long stocking pigtails though :-/

Also, besides Vaan and Penelo, do I see Basch in the party...with a NORMAL outfit?!?!?! :O

I think after FFIII's graphical display and achievement the 2D is a step backward. But the game looks good. Still haven't player XII yet, getting it for Christmas, so.

Peace,

There's nothing wrong with 2D characters at all. Think about it, FFXII's characters as ugly, jagged 3D models which MAY resemble the previous games incarnation

Vaan, Panelo, Fran, and Balthier are the only FF12 characters that join your party in FF12:RW (according to an interview I read). Basch may show up as a guest party member.

The GAMBIT system is toned down, so it's less complex (in otherwords, less good.) and there is more focus on using Espers in combat.

They also talked about the DS's WiFi capabilities, and are considering allowing WiFi combat but are facing a very large lag issue which, unless it can be fixed, will hinder the WiFi uses in FF12:RW.

FFXII's models weren't ugly and jagged, but there is also nothing wrong with 2D. Saying that, when I heard about this I thought it'd be FFXII's style meets FFVI's 2D. Not something extremely cutesy.

On the PS2, the models were beatiful. But with the DS, you have less the capable equipment to work with. If it WAS on par with the PS2, don't you think the FF3 models would look better?



Anyways, why does this seem like some sorta RTS game? :-/
