SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: GabrielHow can you put the demo into a turn based mode?
There were two sample demos, one was turn based the other real time.  Different levels too.

You mean just walking along and wham fight?  Yeah, the new style doesn't seem very conducive to that, it's more like Xenosaga where you see the enemies and can avoid them if you wish.  Unless you mean they took out all the non-story encounters, in which case that's just doofy.

No, like Xenosaga, or FFXI...the enemies are visable, and you can avoid them if you wish.

In the version of the demo I played, combat encounters were very much like they would be in a MMORPG.  There are monsters out in the field, and you can approach them.  If you get too close to a hostile monster, they aggro on you.  The scene doesn't change to a combat scene/scale.

Quote from: AelfinnKnowledge. FF12 is set in Ivalice (a name some of us know... if we played fft).

There are ties to another game set in Ivalice, too - Vagrant Story.

Quote from: SobekWhat's odd about the summons?

You summon your monster and it stays out, following you and attacking your enemies.  Having it out slowly drains away your character's power, however.

The real-time battle system and summons system are heavily influenced by FFXI.
