Warning - if you do not like video games, especially Final Fantasy Video Games, DO NOT READ THIS!! You have been warned.

So. I found out today that Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy XII sometime this summer. Hopefully.

This Final Fantasy is going to kick so much ass for one reason: new species.

Unlike all of the other FF titles, the characters won't all be human. And the landscape won't be the typical FF look that we've all come to know. Rather, this is basically taking GBA's FFTA and fleshing it out into a true RPG.

Meaning that your party will be much larger than normal, and will contain at least one non-human character (the promos show a viera (a rabbit-humanoid thingy)).

Also, the land will be the desert landscape of Ivalice (or something like it).

From what I can tell, there will also be airship battles and stuff, but that desn't really matter. (To me.)

I just want the ability to have a kick ass Viera archer, an earth blastin' Nu Mou black mage, and a head-slicin' Bangaa warrior on my side. Cause let's face it...humans are puny.

Now...I just need to get a PS2...damn.

**goes off into a corner to play Golden Sun:tLA and FFTA until sheearns $200**

*turns haughty mode on* Alessa's never played FF9, a game where most of the world is indeed NOT human and the main character, as well as a lot of the party, isn't necessarily human either. And also FF6 (FF3 in America) dealed with characters that aren't quite human. And I believe that FFXII will only be released in Japan this summer, not America. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's just Japan. Takes a few months to translate the game, and while there are some screenshots out, the game is not completed yet. But it should be good, as FFs go. I'm a dork.

Oh I bow before thee (and Jared) and thy infinate FF wisdom...(and money to invest into every freakin' FF title made.)

But this game will apparently have more species diversity than any other FF title to date (even more than FF:TA).

And this string makes us all dorks cubed.
