maybe this links have been posted already, but even if so: here it goes
although the page is in japanese you can get all the needed information from the pics. you have to click on Soul of Chaos and then the arrow which leads down, and see some familiar faces compressed into FF1
(Just a little question, did you know that FF12 takes place in Ivalice?)
Sweet, so yeah, I dont know if that’ll come stateside, it’d rock if it did. But I wont hold my breath.
Yes, thats one of the key reasons I’m excited about FF12
Got any Information about the story?
And hey Bangaa and Viera appear as well.
And to me it looks like the game has some kind of Pirate-Style
Excerpt from ffxii.net:
Story
Final Fantasy 12 is set in the world of Ivalice, for years the two kingdoms of Arcadia and Rosaria have been fighting against each other in a bitter struggle. Located in a strategically important corridor between the two powers is the small kingdom of Dalmaska.Arcadia’s invasion of the kingdom prompts its princess Ashe to join forces with the resistance. Vaan is an optimistic and bright young man yielding from the ancient kingdom of Dalmaska, which has fallen under the control of the Arcardian Empire. Due to the unsatisfactory conditions there, he has cut his ties with relatives there, seeking his very own personal freedom.
As an adventurer, he dreams of being able to command an airship someday. Ashe is the sole daughter of the king of Dalmaska and hence the next inline to the throne. Following the invasion of her country, she becomes the leader of the resistance against the Empire. During a wild pursuit, she loses one companion after the other. Despite her desperate situation, she still hasn’t lost the pride of a princess. In this situation she meets Vaan, and before long loses her heart to him. Thus their joint adventure begins…
Even better, is the prologue, which is of the exact same feel from Final Fantasy Tactics’ opening… Oooh god this gets me excited.
Prologue
A warrior takes sword in hand, holds a stone to chest
Disappearing memories carved onto the sword
Trained skills entrusted to the stone
The story is told by the sword and continued by the stone
Now, let that story be told…That is the story of a world called Ivalice.
The strong military kingdom known as the Arcadia Empire
That rules the Valentia Continent,
And the Rosalia Empire that rules the Ordalia Continent
Have been continuously at war for long years.In the midst of it, Arcadia Empire invaded the small kingdom of Dalmasca,
Positioned in the hallway between the two continents and thus is geopolitically important.Under the invasion of the Arcadia Empire, the Dalmasca Kingdom accepted defeat.
But Ashe, the rightful heir to the trone of Dalmasca,
Joined the resistance army movements to fight against the empire.The enemy’s chase and attack of this girl with the liberation of her mother nation in heart is severe,
But, she can not be defeated.
At this moment, she meets the young man Vaan.
With this meeting, begins the change in Ashe’s heart.And thus…
The meeting of these two people will greatly change the story of this world.
Well, its about time the bring us another game with a good style, Vagrant Story/FFT style.
Its just a thought, but i would like to see the Zodiac Braves again
wait!possibly they really appear! i just found pics!
Oh yeah, and Ivalice isnt (originally) the name of the world, just a country. The name of the “world” is Pheisias. Most hardcore FFTactics fans know this. It looks like they have since changed that with FFTA and FF12. That makes me sad.
want to see this suspicious pics? or you already got some?
Sure, just post it. If I dont want to see it I wont click the link. I’m sure there are some other people who would have wanted to see it too, lol.
However here some of the pics:
make your mind who or what they could be…
FF1+2 Advance: Ultross and Cupon? Yes! But Why?? I can’t read Jap.
So you save the world from monsters 3 times. or if you are a uk’er twice, Scuse me whilst I nab that bloke for his Law card.

Sea Food Soop!!
not only Ultros and Chupon but also Gilgamesh and Shinryuu from FF5 and also the 4 Fiends from FF4
(But in fact I dont know, or care why)
The question is, will we get as much funny Engrish in FFXII as we did in FFT?
The quote from ffxii.net seems to imply so, unless that’s a fan site.
I’m 99.9% sure ffxii.net is a fan site
Soundtrack samples can be heard here. Sounds really REALLY good ! Sakimoto is on a roll 
they are really good.
Tune 1 sounds like it`s from Chrono Trigger
F**KING Awesome. I personally feel the Vagrant Story/Final Fantasy Tactics in it already… This is going to be fudging great… GOD, I want it NOW!
Izlude, getting wet? LOL
Nope Not getting drenched. Tune 2 sounds like FF:TA Type Battle.
