So apparently it's out in Japan, and there are translations out of menus for the real hardcore fans, but I still feel I'm completely out of the loop: What platform(s) is it going to be available for, and when do we get a US/Europe release?

Anyone know if it's going to be a MMORPG or a real game?

Goody.  I just finally got myself a PS2 and FFX.  Nice game.  Too bad I'll never be playing FFXI.

I played a bit, but I never really got into it.

I also have this lovely little thing called a "message board" where I ask questions and other people do my work for me.  :p

I played the demo (included with Dragon Quest 8) the other day.  As you'd expect, the game looks beautiful.

Combat was realtime, and felt very much like a MMORPG.  The thing was, in the demo you had to control 3 characters, and the action didn't stop while giving commands.  From the demo, I'd say it's going to feel nothing at all like any other previous Final Fantasy game.  If anything, it will probably feel more like Secret of Mana (if you remember that old SNES title).

That's unfortunate.  That was one of the things I liked about the FF series.

According to the latest issue of Official Playstation Magazine, the game will have the option of either realtime or turn based, among other things.

I played the demo and hated, hated, hated the real time mode; it was all the irritating parts of Kingdom Hearts rolled into one.  The more turn-based mode was better, but I'm not sure I like the summons.   I'm cautiously optimistic about the game.

What's odd about the summons?

How can you put the demo into a turn based mode?

My memories of it are awfully vague at this point, but I remember really liking Secret of Mana.  It was a darn fun game.  FF constantly reinvents itself, so changing the rules again wouldn't be out of character, really.  :)

I'm just glad turn-based will be available.  It's not FF if you don't have combat turns.  Plus realtime SUCKS ASS when you have little kids running around and getting in front of the TV all the time.
