Her name is Angela Aki. The theme she sang was in English for the show, but Uematsu wants a Japanese version also.

Are those the first screens ever released of Code Age? I only remember hearing about this game before, not actually seeing it.
Anyway, the graphics excite me at least. Looks very crisp, colorful...it really looks like an anime, especially in the battles. Square-Enix definitely know how to give games an animated look without using cel-shading (or maybe it IS using some kind of cel-shading technique?)...I think it looks awesome. Don't know much about the game itself though.

I just don't get Square Enix at all. Chrono Cross and Parasite Eve both sold WELL, there's DEMAND FOR THEM. Yet they ignore it! RAAAAAAAARGH! *smashes keyboard*

Definitely doesn't make things up as he goes along.
That World of Mana trailer sounds exactly like the one that was shown at E3....
.... how is that revealing anything at all?

Are you a time traveller from the recent past? Welcome to 2005!
I want to see the new FF12 trailer!!
http://ps2.ign.com/articles/637/637985p1.html
The game is clearly nearing completion, though. Outside of the demo area, Square Enix unveiled a new trailer, showcasing the close relationship between Ashe and Vaan, some massive air battles, and what appears to be a city floating in the sky (we even caught a glimpse of what appears to be a dance number involving Ashe). The potential for a dramatic storyline is high with this one! Square Enix also announced the Japanese release date for the game, 3/16/2006, and gave a sneak peak at the game's theme song.

As I've said before, in all likelihood "World of Mana" isn't one game; it's the umbrella name for the new "polymorphic content" vision of Mana. I bet anything it'll be like Compilation of FFVII -- the new Mana on DS, a PS2 game, and other stuff.the very IGN article you quoted said:

I'm glad that Matsuno is still directing, and the game still seems true to its original vision. I'm no fan of FFXI, but XII's battle system still looks good to me. What will seperate XII from XI (or any other MMORPG for that matter) is that XII will have a real story (most likely a killer one since it's Matsuno) and the pace of character advancement in XII won't be ridiculously slow.
The delay kinda sucks, but there are enough good-looking games coming out this fall and winter to probably keep me busy until it comes out. DQVIII and Oblivion alone will probably eat up a couple months worth of my gaming time each.

This is an ignorant, ignorant statement. FFXI doesn't have a real storyline? Jesus... GTFO. Seriously, GTFO with that shit. FFXI has a great storyline through the original game, and it's expansions that connects the world together. The NPCs, the Avaters, the magic, EVERYTHING in the fucking game is connected and has a part in the main storyline. That's a truly ignorant statement. :lol
Datrio: This FFXI event you linked to is a special fight versus 3 of the game's famous NPCs. Sandy's Prince Trion, Bastok's Volker, and Windy's Ajido. Players at the event will be able to fight in a special battle against all 3, or vs a team of two of them together. Looks really cool =O
On topic: FFXII overworld still looks like it's ripped from FFXI style. =O

The only problem with FFXI's 'great' story is that it requires a retarded amount of time dedicated to playing the game to experience it in a coherent, flowing manner. My example- if you don't have the time to dedicate 10 hours a day and/or have a regular, dependable party to level and mission with, it might be a week between any significant story elements. I don't know about you, but that kind of span really bothered me- mostly because I would forget what the last serious story moment was even about.
Granted, this is a MMORPG, so no one who plays them regularly really cries over someone that can't dedicate a lot of time to them, but still, I'd be curious to see the ratio of people who have played FFXI that have actually experienced even a portion of the overall story.
I played from October 2003 until August 2004... and I really couldn't tell you shit about what FFXI's story was 'suppose' to be.
TheJollyCorner said:
Your complaint is about the MMORPG mechanic, not a fault of the story persay. Granted, to advance, you do need to have a certain level to go on and contribute with the fights, however, this does not detract from the ignorance of your statement. FFXI does have a very good story that encompasses the entire world around it. If you can't tell me shit about the story, you really aren't qualified to make any statements about it, are you?
Edit: By the by, how is leveling up to advance the story different from any other FFs in FFXI? True, it takes more time, but it IS a MMORPG afterall. However, it's absolurely NO different that any other RPG in the fact that a) you need to lvl up to advance and b) you need a party (whether it's real people or NPC characters) to do it. Besides the obvious fact one uses the MMORPG mechanics, there's no difference.
It sounds like it takes some of the best things in FFXI and mixes it with what we love with the rest of the series. I've been a die-hard fan of the series and I'm really liking what I hear. Final Fantasy needed to evolve and it looks as if it finally will.Doom_Bringer said:

calm down there, chief. No reason to get punchy.
I'm simply saying, in defense to chaostrophy, that most people outside the 'hardcore' FFXI players will never know the true extent of the game's story. Jumping on his ass because of that is uncalled for- and jumping on mine shows you to be a bit 'fanatical' from my point of view.
but anyway... please, more info from this goddamn event! Videos!

Wasn't uncalled for. Wasn't any different than any other RPG thread where someone says something untrue about a game (and insults it as well), and someone corrects them. ^^ Regardless of who can access what in FFXI's story isn't important, the fact is it has a great story, whether you worked through the game or not. It's there, all there is to it. If you don't know anything bout a story, any story, how are you qualified to make any statements about it? Let alone insult it. Just setting yourself up there.
Fanatical? We're on a gaming forum man. 99% of the posters here are fanatical. Welcome!

well, maybe we can get one of the 5 people that knows FFXI's extended story to come in here and back you up......
I'd be anxious. I'd love to hear what the story actually is suppose to be, since I feel my 10 months with the game was a pretty big cock-tease as far as a story actually forming.
Instead of sitting on your MMORPG throne and tossing out the 'ignorant' label, why not educate us? That would be greatly appreciated.
