65 X 50MB
RELEASE: 10/01/2006
RETAIL: 10/31/2006
THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION OF THE GAME.
(NOT A RETAIL PRESS THOUGH)
IT IS INTERNAL BECAUSE THE "SCENE" IS SO COOL
THAT A GROUP WILL DUPE WITH RETAIL AND CALL
IT A "PROPER" JUST CAUSE A COUPLE DATES &
BYTES MAY BE DIFFERENT. THEN AGAIN GROUPS
KNOW NOTHING OF HOW GAMES ARE MADE. THEY ARE
JUST THERE FOR THEIR SKILLED ISO RIPPING
SKILLZ. YOU WILL BE ABLE TO USE ANY SAVES,
CHEAT DEVICES, ETC. WITH THIS GAME BECAUSE
EVENTHOUGH RETAIL WILL HAVE MINOR FILE
DIFFERENCES, THIS IS THE FINAL VERSION
AND EXACT SAME GAME.
ENJOY THIS GAME A LITTLE LESS THAN A MONTH
BEFORE RETAIL.
PS3 ROCKS
'

alright!

Though most sites are reporting it Nuked because of stolen from newsgroups or some crap.


::[ NUKE ]::[ Final Fantasy XII USA PS2DVD iND ]::[ beta.and.p2p ]::

But who cares what they say. The game's been out in Japan, so it isn't going to be missing any missons or anything.

All they had to do to the thing was re-dub it in english and maybe patch a few little parts up.

I can't wait until I pop it in!

Anyone know how it got released? Just wondering.

But there is only a month till the real thing comes out... for America anyway. Me, I have to wait till February. :angry: Well I guess that's a good thing since exams are right around the corner.

This better be good though, for the 6 year long wait. Meaning 10 was alright but that horrid battle system. What were they thinking (Of course this is only my opinion)?

Btw, I heard that it was the final version. There might be one or two extremely tiny changes but pretty much the exact same game. But what do I know.

I just played the game on an emulator, seemed to run well, subtitles seems like the only thing they needed to work on..

pcsx2 - i can play disgaea at about 15fps, but my pc aint that good. others can get 30-60fps with better cards and such. time for me to upgrade.

What kind of fps are you getting on FF12? And what's your vid card?

Formula1
10-02-2006, 03:46 PM
playing it on my ps2 right now, seems to run perfectly well. Subtitles work fine. I believe thhis game was leaked/stolen from a game reviews company.

I thought they dubbed it. All that time just to put in subs. Jeeze. Too bad they couldn't just get a good anime fabsub group to do it.

10-02-2006, 10:36 PM
they also dubbed it lol...game gives you option to view subs along with the dubbing.

I was just checking out the battle system.

I noticed they used the word " Magicks "
When you're going through white magic and black magic.

Haha. That'd be funny if that was in the final version

how do u know?

Formula1
10-02-2006, 11:49 PM
as isaid this is probably the final version. It was sent to reviewers because this is a long game..

ok

also, wats wrong w/ the subtitles?

Formula1
10-03-2006, 12:28 AM
nothing, it was the emulator's fault... subtitles appear fine as i play it on my PS2..

10-03-2006, 12:39 AM
oh ok. good. are the subs the same as the audio? or is it like the subs from advent children?

lightshow
10-03-2006, 02:07 AM
Subs are 95- 99 % like the audio english dub.

You may see them shorthand a word or two, but for 95-99% of the time (up to 2 hours of my experience) it has been head on.

yeh, the old guy says: WHAT!?

subtitles: impossible!

whens it come out for PAL?

abu_has_the_power
10-03-2006, 05:11 PM
so i'm guessing subs for the "final retail" should not be changed

anyone know if "magicks" is supposed to be like that? instead of magic?

lightshow
10-03-2006, 08:58 PM
I had a discussion about this for a while.

Yes Magicks will stay that spelling. I'm sure that Square Enix left it that way for a reason.

I just thought it was wierd at first, but they consistantly use it in speech and in the tutorials, etc.

If nothing else, it would take a pretty long time to re-dub and re-subtitle and re-do the menu system to just say "Magic"

it got taken off filelist. apparently square enix is really pissed. reminds me of star wars epi 3.

10-06-2006, 11:26 AM
haha, im about 5hrs into it where you get balthier and Fran in your party, it all seems good so far. can't wait to play more of it when i get home.

Woa you're right. Just checked filelist and it's gone.

Is filelist the kind to just pull torrents if they get a letter?

10-06-2006, 04:37 PM
Ok, my interest is peaked...

I know mod chips are the best way to go, which is best for PS2?
Or are those slide card methods worth trying out?

Xbox is modded, might as well do the PS2 as well. :P

Formula1

go to www.ps2-scene.org for all the info you need.

if you're looking for a cheap chip that can read DVD-R/+R's then get the duo2se. it cost me 25 shipped. of course installing the modchip is the hard part. oh and yeah, you'll probably have to change your current ps2 laser (this reads the disk).

Damnatory
10-06-2006, 05:21 PM
Thanks Formula1, I'll definately be modding soon. :D

abu_has_the_power
10-07-2006, 02:33 PM
the best modchip imo is the crystal chip (1.1, not 1.0, 2.0 should be coming out or is out already). it has all the same features of the other chips, and it has one feature that none of them have. i forgot what it's called, but it allows you to play all ps2 games online w/o having to mess with the disk image on your computer.



edit: ok, crystal chip 2.0 is out already! sweet! http://www.ps2newz.net/forums/showthread.php?t=48804

my 1.1 is doing just fine for me

lightshow
10-07-2006, 10:40 PM
Yeah if you like playing online get the crystal chip (dnas bypassing)

I use a dms3 flashed to the latest firmware. it works great for me (its the solder one). I just sent my ps2 to a modder (found him through xbox-scene forums) and had him install it.

Then my laser quit, so I had another guy replace my laser who i also found from the xbox-scene forums.

Oh, and I have a v4 ps2

It says on the Crystal Chips site (http://crystal-chips.com/main/content/blogcategory/14/26/) that the CC 2.0 does not allow you to boot backup or burned games... why then is everyone on the ps2-scene forum so stoked over this new chip? It's HDD capabilities?

because you're supposed to use a hacked firmware with it. everyone does. they make the chip w/o the ability to play burned games and they advertise that way to avoid evil people :shifty:

Oh right on, thanks Abu!

btw: Sorry Formula1 I didn't mean to hijack your thread. Didn't really think about it til after. :cry: I can remove my posts if you like.

On topic though, it looks like there are alot of ecstatic people over this game, I'm pretty much foaming at the mouth already...

this game is still fucking amazing! 20 hrs in, still like it a lot. soooo many cinematics. and gorgeous cinematics too

Formula1
10-13-2006, 03:00 AM
it really me pisses me off that there are no checkpoints in this game, you literally play for 40 minutea without coming across a save point. and when u die you have to start from the last save (another reason why consoles suck, u cant save whenever u want).. completely bullshit. atleast in FFX the save points were spreaded out fairly. the cinematics in this game are long and definetely not as worthwhile as FFX. sorry but ffx was much a more captivating game. oh and music blows. i'll try to play more of it, but seriously this game offers nothing as amazing as ffx folks.. 12 hours into it and i gotta all over in the space ship, BULLSHIT!

Well im on the leviathan spaceship where a bunch of imperials i gang up on you. I only have 5 characters including a guest, and well my characters like to to die easily.. and also does anyone else think the story and characters is a ripoff of star wars? balthier = hans solo , imperials guards = stormtroopers, and so on.. common square you could have been more creative...

I just finished completing FFVII a month ago (on an emulator), and it sure surpasses this..

10-15-2006, 11:12 PM
yeah i got it to run on pcsx2, but just like you, i didnt get any sound and it ran quite horribly.

anyway i threw this game away, im very disapointed square enix. There's a reason why i've stopped buying video games!
