We are having trouble with the song… I am tone deaf and Darren is really busy. It should be up by midday we are finishing it off early this morning.
Sorry.
To make up for it… Marcus, go to UUDDLRLRBA.co.uk and join the forum!

Thanks Blokeh for filling in the vast holes in my knowledge for other readers! I was hoping somebody would step up.

I’m sure you’ll be writing about it on UUDD once you get it (if you’re really lucky that should be Tuesday or Wednesday), so I’ll link to that here once it’s up.

Goddammit I want this so badly. Thankfully, the very same demo disc used here will (fingers crossed) wind up on my doormat, ready for play! Thanks man! Killzone 2 should be with you in no time!

It would seem that this is a whole new set of battle mechanics. The on-screen enemies is something introduced in FFXII, but the resetting of the fighters shows that its not as “active” as FFXII. However, I love the idea of having the option to use, say, 3 points either in one big attack or three smaller attacks. That’s going to be VERY interesting.

I’m guessing that the other party members will be controlled very much like the ones in FFXII, where you set them with “gambits”, namely, a list of 12 slots with which to assign actions, the top being the most important. So you can have, say, the top be “attack closest enemy”, the second “if self’s HP >30% cast heal”, the third “if anyone dies, use Phoenix Down”, etc etc. This way, while you have essentially programmed them, they look after themselves.

I don’t care. I NEED THIS!

It’s funny, I like learning more details about this game as they unfold and I am blown away by the graphics I’ve seen, but my Final Fantasy itch has been permanently scratched. I look forward to hearing more about it because I have no interest in ever playing it myself. That doesn’t make sense in gaming, but that’s just how I feel.
