Final Fantasy XII hits Europe on Feb. 23

lol What ridiculous costumes. Not that they don't look like the actual characters--they do. This is just one of the reasons I don't understand Eastern RPGs.

Worst. Balthier. Ever.

"Particularly impatient gamers"? "Particularly impatient"!? Now, i don't consider myself "Particularly impatient", but a "Particularly impatient gamer" would have already resorted to crushing his testicles in reprieve of our treatment. Treatment which, yes, does make testicular punishment a reprieve. But it occurs to me that thinking Okami (which is already late e-fucking-nough) will hold us over is almost as insulting as the fact that Grandia 3 has no existence in our foreign and exotic "PAL region".

I was happy at this news, though, goddamnit. No sign of our FFV remake on the GBA, no sign of our FFIII remake on the DS (I'm starting to think this has been orchestrated by SE) but, goddamnit, i'm happy at this news. About as happy as a family member of an executed deserter, who has been posthumously pardoned, mind you, but there is something akin to happiness here.

Oh My God.... Bunnie Swan dressed up as Balthier?

"This uh... uh... judge.... he looky like a man."

o.O I thought FFXII was released everywhere. Wow, I bet this will add a good number of sales to the already sold ~3 million. Someone had wrote about a declining trend in Final Fantasy sales, and they showed some numbers. I almost believed them o.o

Ugh. The pic alone reminds me of how much i hate both final fantasy AND cosplay. Sometimes I think i'm a little over-indulgent in gaming compared to balancing work and home life. Then I see these people and it makes me feel a lot better about myself, TEEHEE. LOLZZZZ!!00!)!)!0!!eleven!111!

#4, you took the words right out of my mouth.

Just embarrassing...

Shouldn't it be Ubisoft publishing this? I remember they promised us a perfect 50hz port of the game, unlike Squeanix.

Nothing says, "Hi! I'm 45, and I still live with my parents!" better than cosplay.

these people have alot of time and no friends.
and the winner for being the stupidest looking person goes to.......the FF cosplay crew ( chopsticks clapping together)

Is the second girl from the right picking her nose?

Well I don't know about your guys, but that chick second from the left is hawt!

Finally. I can't wait for Okami to arrive, hopefully I can clear it before FFXII is released. It's funny, because those are the only 2 games this year that really appeal to me, unless Blue Dragon is announced for the UK.

Someone tell Square-Enix to release Grandia III and Radiata Stories over here too.

Actually she is sticking up her middle finger if you look closely. I know its been touched on already but what is up with the lesbian Balthier!? The costumes are damned accurate though. I'm diggin the Fran outfit. Of course I'm sure that outfit is making the girl in it look cuter than she actually is.

Is it too much to ask for a masculine FF hero?

God, I went to ACEN last year (to try and pitch a comic) and the whole place was littered with Soras. Saddest part, I never once saw a male Sora.

" Is the second girl from the right picking her nose?"

She's trying to have the same pose as the character render here:

"I'm diggin the Fran outfit. Of course I'm sure that outfit is making the girl in it look cuter than she actually is."
In the words of Rivers Cuomo, "It'd still hit it." :o

It took me until just after you get back to Rabanastre after you initially hook up with Balthier and Fran to realize just how FREAKING HIGH HER HEELS ARE. Seriously. And they're pointy too.

All I can say is its about bloody time!
