Wait a sec, guys. Wait a sec. I know it's fun speculating on Ashe, Vaan, Penelo LTDs and what FF12 in general is going to be like...but haven't you noticed what I noticed from the beginning?

Quote:
 
A warrior takes sword in hand, Clasping a gem to his heart. Engraving vanishing memories into the sword, He places finely honed skills into the stone. Spoken from the sword, handed down from the stone... Now the story can be told...

These words are in the opening scene to Final Fantasy Tactics.

That is the story of a world called Ivalice.

This is the kingdom in Final Fantasy Tactics. And if I recall, Ordalia is also one of the places in FFT.

So Squaresoft has decided to go back to Ivalice instead of creating another whole new universe. Post-Tactics Ivalice or Pre-Tactics Ivalice. And I wonder if the plot will have some sort of connection to FFT, even just a reference?
Or is the Ivalice reference just a fan rumor gone bad?

They're taking a few things from FFT and FFT:A and putting them in FFXII. Like races, judges, etc. I have both FFT and FFT:A and it looks a lot like a PS2 version of those FFT worlds.

My fiance is especially excited about it because he loves those games.

I've heard that SE is not gonna focus on romance in this game... of course, there WILL be romance, but in only in the context of the game. Not the main theme, unlike in FFVIII, FFIX and FFX.


Well, there's got to be SOME romance. After all, there was a big wedding at some point and then there was all that fluff about Ashe's "heart changing" and whathaveyou... :D Also, FFVII didn't focus on romance either and look what it gave us: Cloud and Aerith, the greatest RPG couple ever (and the love triangle)! :cleris:

Yep! :P Apparently, FFXII is going to be independent of the FFT games. That is what I have heard so far anyways... :unsure:

Yes, the world is called Ivalice. You know why? Because the game is being directed by Yasumi Matsuno, the creator of FFT and FFTA! :lol:. Yeah, I think they're seperate worlds though. Kinda like FFT and FFTA. ^_^ But I've heard that Nomura isn't going to be involved with FFXII...at all. :/

Hmmm... Well, I have not seen anything yet that stated that Vaan and Penelo are an item, nor have I seen anything that says that Vaan and Ashe definitely aren't getting together. hmm.gif I have seen several sources reporting that Vaan and Penelo are old friends that grew up together. Like Seii said, they probably are genuine childhood friends, not false "childhood friends" in the Cloud and Tifa sense.


I read it in one of my issues of EGM. It's supposedly a quote from Yasumi Matsuno. :/. However, EGM has also called Tifa, Cloud's "main squeeze". So we can't trust them TOO much, now can we?

EDIT: Here's a link saying that Penelo is Vaan's girlfriend. :(

Never played FFA. But by separate worlds, you mean that all the events of FFT and FFA are not related to the events of FF12? Like, the history of FFT is not the same history of FF12? Alternate Universes?
And Nomura isn't involved! What a shame! Even if he didn't direct it, I was counting on him to at least sneak in another :cleris: reference :(

They sure do like to change things. The month after that, they called Tifa only "Cloud's lady friend". And over the picture of Cloud and her in the church. No more main squeeze. ^_^

Eh, the "quote" stating they were boyfriend and girlfriend wasn't in quotes, but even if they are it also said they fight a lot. If Square disclosed that, then maybe they're indicating to us that they break it off? Or maybe they're trying to force another love triangle on us ... >_<

I also noticed right away that quote was form Final Fantasy Tactics. I thought I was the only one who caught it. Final Fanatsy IV was the first Final Fantasy game to have a real wedding.

Hmm... :huh: Well, here is the whole article from IGN:

Vann Gets a Girlfriend
The Final Fantasy XII hero is a stud.
by Suppai Hitmitsu
April 16, 2004 - Yesterday, we revealed to you the latest Final Fantasy XII character, Pannero. It was discovered that this girl was a "close personal friend" of the main character Vann. That description is a little off. Pannero is actually Vann's girlfriend as the game starts off. Which, of course, makes one wonder, how are Vann and heroine Ashe going to hook up? Or are they going to hook up?

We'll have to wait to play through Final Fantasy XII to find out for sure, but Square Enix offers what seems to be a hint: Vann and Pannero occasionally fight.

FFXII is scheduled for Japanese release in the Summer.


So Penelo is Vaan's girlfriend at the beginning on the game. But, that doesn't mean he and Ashe won't hook up later, especially if he and Penelo fight sometimes. :whistle: I am already a VaanxAshe fan, it seems... :lol:

BTW... why are all of the people in this game blonde or nearly blonde??? :blink: I like the tall dark and handsome type (Squall, Vincent, and Auron spring to mind...). :wub:
