Final Fantasy XII

[Andromeda18_]

Dragon Quest VIII is a fantastic oldschool rpg wrapped in a nice pretty shell. Everything about it reminds me of the old days of rpgs.

As for the new Final Fantasy (comes out in the US in November), everything i've read about it sounds fantastic. Then again, what do you expect from the creator of Vagrant Story (a lot of people like to call this game Vagrant Story 2, cause it looks a lot visually like it). Having played the demo, i didn't mind any of the changes. Sometimes change is good, especially when everything other game was starting to seem quite similar.

Also, if you've played Final Fantasy XI (which i never have, since it's online only), a lot of people compare 12 to that game.

I've played FFXI and despite it's gameplay flaws (like being extremely hard to level up and advance to new areas) it's a wonderful game. I really enjoyed the environment and being able to team up with players that were actually controlled by other human beings, though that's an upside of all online games and not just FFXI. And yes, Vagrant Story is indeed an awesome game. Let's hope FFXII is as good or perhaps even better.
Oh man, I'm so hyped about this game! And I sure hope it comes out in August/September 'cause then I already know what I'm getting for my birthday!
