FFXII comes out on Halloween...

It's worth it just for that featurette.

The CE strategy guide is also very nice, the guide itself is huge, and the artbook is pretty. I haven't even really looked at the guide yet though. xD I want to figure things out for myself this time.

I only had a little while to plug in to it today, I will probably play another hour or so again today. I'll have much more time during the weekend to spend...

Ya, the CE guide is very, very cool. The art in it is nice (as you stated), and its a nice sneak peak on whats gonna be in the game (looks to be centered around airships.)

Also, i hope on beating the game first, then using the guide to fill in all the cool nooks and crannies of the game that i missed. But thats not usually how it works out, because I'm an impatient person, and ill probably end up using the guide at least once the first time through if i get stuck.

I think many people will/do love XII. I think that there's a 1-3 hour or so learning curve to go through - perhaps more if you are used to the controls for previous installments of FF. But afterwards, the storyline gets going early-on and the graphics/gameplay is excellent. I'm having a lot of fun with the game and it's only like 25-30% though the storyline...
I guess that's FF for you though!

So who has it right now? I have it and I'm working on some hunts... as a matter of fact, I'm going to go play right now ^^ I want to beat wraith and become a higher clan rank *nodnod*

Wraith can be a biatch if you are not ready for it...I had to wait until I came back to Rabanastre to beat it....These hunts are really tough! I am currently trying to fight the Wyvern Lord and Cluckatrice, but the Lord kicks my butt and i am having trouble luring out the Cluckatrice.

The opening scene for this game is amazing! But i think they sort of sacrificed the graphics in the cut-scenes to leave room for a longer game.
