Maybe the save points are scarce because the game is easy?

When you're replaying it you might want to skip some of them.
Ok I think there's been some terrible mistranslation here. Here's what the news post was saying:
- The FF12 Produciton Committee has finally completed their work on the game.
- The game will DEFINITELY meet the release date this time.
- The movies in the game do not have a skip function.
- Within the game the movies can go up to 17 mins long. (ZOMG ASCII ART)
- Save points are scarce, but exist.
- There is a continue function.
- There are minigames.
And the main issue of the entire news is "HOLY SHIT HAS FFXII FINALLY GONE GOLD?!".
There's nothing here about credits or an opening FMV in particular.
Edit: Reading the comments on the actual article, many people are simply guessing as to what the 17min comment really meant. Some are guessing its the ending movie, while one guy speculated that it's the opening movie. There is also a speculation that there are ONLY 17mins of FMV in the entire game (haha
) and the rest are all realtime cutscenes. But seeing how none of these posters are the insider who gave the information in the first place, it's all guesswork.

I can deal with one super huge cutscene in the beginning and mostly gameplay for the rest of the title. Xenosaga-esque CG masturbation I loathe to no end so I pray that intro isn't indicative of what lies beyond.
EDIT: Thanks for clearing that up duckroll. I shall pray to the gaming gods that this one doesn't turn out to be XenoFantasy XII.

I've never played Kingdom Hearts. What I'd really like to see is a Dragon Quest-style game over, in which you don't lose anything except half your gold and you're back at your most recent save point.
If FFXII's layout is like the demo's, chances are you get to continue the level you were just at if you die in it. And return either to right before that level or to your last save point, losing nothing?

Actually the FFXII hype is just about right for me. The hype is very, very similar to how they handled FFT and Vagrant Story, especially in Japan. You knew very little aside from the assurance that the games would be more strategic and rather complex in both gameplay depth and storyline elements.
Also, your mistranslations have failed us all.
duckroll said:We still don't.
Actually, you can set parameters in the menus for what you want a certain character to do during a situation. For example, you can have your WHM heal a character when his/her hp goes under 12% or cast "holy" when he/she is attacked a certain way. I'm sure it's much deeper than that, but that is the basics of it, atleast from what I saw in a recent japanese magazine scan-fest.

Sounds great. Matsuno's going to make me fall back in love with Final Fantasy,
This is the biggest selling point for me too.. taking for granted that FFXII has taken almost forever to come out, the hype surrounding it is more like that of a boiling pot with a lid. Once you open it up, you get hit in the face with steam and then the aroma's of whatever you are cooking which usually follow in salivating until the consumption of said cooked meal. Oh yes, I am presuming FFXII to be a metaphor for a full course meal!duckroll said:
In all seriousness, I just want to play it so I can experience some proper Matsuno love.. whether or not he is involved or not anymore, he still did do most of the hard yakka - something he hasn't really been done "properly" since Vagrant Story.

I fucking hate games that have scarce save points. Not everyone can play for 3 hours straight all the time.

Is he at square? the rumors spoke that he did not complete the game he started.
I think of him as the revivor of FF but his absence of leave, i don know...

Matsuno created the FFXII world, made the game design decisions, wrote the scenario/script, and directed everything that would become FFXII. Then something happened, and he got sick. Itoh and Minagawa took over the director's seat to complete the game. There's no indication that the game we'll be getting is not 100% of Matsuno's vision. Just that he was too sick to oversee it completely. He's still credited for Original Work, Scenario Plot and Supervision. Before taking over as overall directors, Itoh was in-charge of directing the gameplay systems while Minagawa was in-charge of graphics and character motion.
