Awesome, I loved the sphere grid in FF10, especially when you get the blanker spheres and start replacing the +1 nodes with the +4 nodes. Five characters with all stats maxed at 255 (including luck)
Ive just started playing through 10 again now because of this thread.lol
Hurry up March
I am the same, I bought Dragon Age for a rpg fix until march but I couldn't be having that game, its got a good story and that but it isn't no Final Fantasy.
So I fired up the PS2 for some FF12 action.
Masamune + Genji Gloves + Berserk = "Have some of that!!!"

Yep it's called the Crystarium System in FFXIII. You gain Crystarium Points after each battle and then unlock whatever ability upgrades through a grid system.
Speaking of which, I quite like the easy upgrade system that was in FFXII itself.
Don't forget the Zodiac Spear.So I fired up the PS2 for some FF12 action.

Im looking forward to this, when I was younger I played a Final Fantasy game on the PS2 that I think was rented from Blockbuster! 
I cant remember much about it except I got stuck on a boss in a snowy area (on some ice maybe, probably not that far into the game) and gave up
Thats the only one I've played but I know the series is absolutely HUGE and I wanted to ask, will me not having played the previous games be a problem? If so, is there anywhere I can read up on the story or is it quite easy to follow?
Cheers!

I won't be forgetting that, I have not opened the selected chests and will be getting it the first time I get to Salikawood. I am going to stock up on phoenix downs and do a death run through the Necrohol at around level 30.

It won't be a problem at all, there are lots of similarities between the games but they all follow a different story and are easy to pick up.

Each Final Fantasy game in the main numbered series is different. It's only just the traditional themes that make a Final Fantasy game carry on with each other i.e. Love/Romance, Crystals, Chocobos, a guy named Cid, Airships, Good vs Evil etc.
Only Final Fantasy X had an official sequal which was X-2. XI was obviously an MMORPG game. Technically Final Fantasy VII has sequals, but thats is the Advent Children CGI movie and the semi-decent Dirge of Cerberus 3rd person action game.
Thanks guys, thats what I thought they were like!
Bring it on already, should be fantastic from what im reading so far
Also, do you think any of the main US/EU review sites will be able to review the Jap version, I would imagine they have the ability to do so, and would be able to publish the score? Will be nice to see what people think to it very shortly!

While I prefer orchestral music in FF, I think my hands will actually be ok. And will add a bit of Hollywood style to the game.
Disappointing they just picked a track they liked, rather than got Leona to record something for the game though.

Auron was my favourite character in X, Tidus just made me cringe... especially that damn laughing scene.
X-2 should have been about Auron, Jecht and Braska
.Don't forget Crisis Core. Considering you know that Zack (poor sod) is going to bite the dust the whole way through the game, they did a really good job with the story and his character development.

Oh yeah that and there is also the mobile phone exclusive, Before Crisis, which features the original Avalanche (Long before Barret), the many other previous Turks we never knew off or only seen in the Last Order animation and a very young Yuffie.

The FMV CG scenes in full 1080p sounds delicious. Great use of the PS3's Blu-Ray there. Next up we will see how well the Xbox 360 version can do it when it gets released here.
