MUD blog: [info]rustytangerine Kudos to the people who get the reason for the name. Figuring out which of my characters it's connected to should be easy enough though. By and by, seeing as I don't pay attention to my flist very much, can everyone with a MUD blog tell me about them. I've lost track. (I'll hardly post on this journal btw, but I just wanted to get the username. Mostly for posting MUD logs.)



Yo. I'm back on LJ. :P Not that I ever left it, only that I haven't been posting. Will be going through my friends list when I have time. Adding and deleting. As is obvious, I've more or less stopped following PoT, so anyone here only for the PoT posts are free to take me off, unless if you want to listen to me ramble on about other series'.

So, screencaps from the FFXII trailer. This 'trailer' was released months ago and I've had the file up on my server and the screencaps done for a while now, I just never got around to creating a post about it. For those who want to see the trailer, you can download it [here]. And for those who just want to see screencaps, click on the cut. I was lazy when I made the screencaps, so it's very minimal.



At the very beginning of the trailer it says 'Two years after Final Fantasy X', can anyone tell me if this means both games are set in the same world? I've been so out of everything, including gaming news, so I don't know anything about this.


Err. I just thought they looked pretty, even if the uber long bunny ears strike me as weird.


... and bunnies will inherit the world.


I was more impressed by the architecture in the game than anything else. So there you go.


Vaan, our hero, whom I already have a feeling I don't like, but I figure if I were able to play FF8 while hating Squall with a passion, this kid can't be all that bad. He's a thief though, I count that as a plus at least.


Penelo, whom I assume has the role as Vaan's best friend of sorts.


Vaan's older brother, who appears to be a knight serving under the emperor. Anyone aware of my inclination for yaoicest knows why the word 'brother' is encircled. :P


Yes well. I like the brother. :P The other knight is Basch though, who looks like he plays a more important role than the older brother. *woe*


And I hope that's not the brother dying. Though it sure seems that way. *woe take 2*


Balthier, the sky pirate, whom I hope is as snarky as he seems. Between him and Penelo, I expect to be entertained by dialogue. Hopefully.


Fran. Also known as the coolest character in the game. And the one who will not leave my party if I had any say in the matter.


Ashe, the princess.


Sparklies. :P

FF12's world takes place in Ivalice, which is where FF Tactics and Tactics Advance happened.

It has been at least two years since FFX was released.
... I am utterly ashamed that I did not recognize Ivalice as the same one FFT was set in, seeing as it's my favorite game off of the FF series.

Thanks for the clarifications.
I'm a little thrown by the bunnies...
I am secretly hoping I get the chance to kill a hundred of those bunnies.
A centurion of bunnies? Shocking.

*fangirls in a terrible, geeky way*

If the brother dies, I will not be pleased. He is prettier than Vaan. XP Also: Yeeee, Balthier! :D

*roffles at the bunnygirls*

And yes, Fran does look rather cool, even though she has the most conventional name. XD I want to see a bunnyboy now. >.>

[Edit:] AH! LEFT, BACK, FIRST SCREENCAP! SHIRTLESS BISHIE!!!!! ..I knew my bishie senses were tingling. xD

Re: *fangirls in a terrible, geeky way*

The brother must not die! Vaan can go die. >:3 Oh wait, on second thought, neither of them can die. Cause it would make my yaoicest void. ;_; Boo.

I hope Fran doesn't disappoint. Then again, given Final Fantasy's recent releases, I'm not really expecting a lot from the game. So if it turns out bad, I wont' be so much disappointed as I am getting what I expected. Now if I actually end up liking it would be nice.

I agree. We must see bunnyboy.

SHIRTLESS BISHIE!!!!!

*so amused* I was wondering if anyone would be able to spot that bishie. I should not have doubted the innate fangirl's ability to do so.

Re: *fangirls in a terrible, geeky way*

Never doubt the way of the Fangirl, Young Jedi. =_= :p
The second screengrab...kinda reminds me of Jar Jar Binks. *is shot*

The bunny ears are rather weird. XD Um, but yes. The brother is pretty. Yay. :D

*stalks your MUD blog* :D My MUD blog here --> [info]killtheopossums, although I don't know how much I'll be using it. ^^;
LOL. I haven't had much use for my MUD blog cause a lot of the interesting logs with Thas so far Lei has been around, and you've been posting those logs. ;P <3 Which is just as well, because knowing me, those logs would never have gotten posted otherwise. lol.
It's Yuna!!! O.O

(hides!)

:P

(teh brothers look teh shmex)

:D~~~~~~~
It's Yuna!!! Thanks to the fact that I have yet to have the utter misfortune of playing both FFX and FFX-2, the violent reaction that should have stemmed from that single comment has just been reduced considerably. That be said, I hope the princess has more likable power than Yuna.
Methinks they used the species from FFTA Ivalice. Poo. I hate that game with a passion. And from what I hear they're ganking elements of it into FFXII. The bunnies are the Viera, the short little things that look like actual bunnies are the Mogs, and the big one in the second screenshot holding up the weapons is a Bangaa (those lizard guys). Eh, let's hope Vaan really isn't like Squall or I'm going to hate XII.
Hm. I didn't get very far in FFTA. I loved FFT, but FFTA didn't hold as much interest for me when I started playing it. What's wrong with it? Does the gameplay suck (I don't recall it bothering me too much when I started playing) or is it the storyline?
Oi! It's good to see a post from you again...lovely screencaps!

^__^
It's good to be posting again. ;D I have so many things I've been wanting to pimp but have so very little time to do so. *mourn*
thief! lol, of course that's the thing I noticed XD
I love FF CG animation, will download trailer at work.
Er, does Fran have bunny ears on that headdress? ><;;

[info]story_sofar's my mud blog :p told you I sucked at naming things. I'm already having trouble coming up with a name for Gelan's would be pet XD
does Fran have bunny ears on that headdress?

Not on her headdress, on her. ;P She has bunny ears.

I'm already having trouble coming up with a name for Gelan's would be pet

Thasis has the best names for his pets. His creativeness knows no bounds. Lumpy for his canidae, Pink for the black stallions from Gheldale and Tangerine for the chestnut ones. lol. I wonder what he'll decide to name his wyvern.
Dude, this game looks kick-ass. Any idea if it's online?

I agree with you and the hating Squall part. And the woe. Everyone kills off the best characters.
As far as I know, FFXII won't be released as an MMORPG. The fact that they have a whole cast with names and what seems to be a set storyline pretty much ensures that too.

What is up with killing off the best characters anyway? *mutter* Though I suppose I'd be hard-pressed to find another lead chara which I dislike as much as Squall. I'll probably like Vaan more than him, if only because he seems to have more life to him than Squall.
... *cough* your brother dying pic gives me wrong ideas... REALLY wrong ideas... >< *cough cough* but looks interesting *grin* too bad I've never had the time for FF and at this rate never will... =.=
RL is utterly evil when it eats away at game time. boo! I've not had much time to game at all as of late, excluding MUD. I actually miss having a game controller in my hand.

your brother dying pic gives me wrong ideas... REALLY wrong ideas...

*whistles* You mean it wasn't supposed to do anything but? >:P
*blink* isn't game time real life? the rest of it is just... NOT real life *grin* but for me *thinks* I haven't found many games that I've wanted to play lately. For the computer prefer the strategy games though I'm highly tempted to take my brother up on his offer to ship me a mod'ed ps2 so I can play my Smash Hits 2 and Dynasty Warriors... >< but that requires a tv which i don't have yet so probably will shelve the notion for the moment. Harder for me to play games which require much thought nowadays *sheepish* Brain doesn't want to work though I still like board games. Anyhow have fun though ^^

*whistles* You mean it wasn't supposed to do anything but? >:P

*cough* i like the way you think *grin*
I got some wallpapers of this a long time ago... (In Ashe's wallpaper, you can see her panties. >P)

That's Ashe and Vaan, huh? I hope Vaan won't be like Tidus. He's just too talkative. I prefer the previous protagonists... Like Zidane and Squall. They're mute. *lol* XD
Zidane I've nothing against. Squall was just outright annoying, though I guess not being talkative should've been a plus. heh. I'm actually rooting for Vaan and Penelo, but I guess that might be wishful thinking on my part. Oh wait... I'm all for Reks (the older brother) x Vaan!
I'm trying not to get my hopes up for FFXII, because, well, my hopes were dashed in the past few releases. Eh, I just wish FF would deviate from their formula a bit more with every new release. I'd seen this trailer back when it was released, and then I haven't heard much about it since. It's supposed to be coming out this winter, isn't it? And you know, come to think of it, I can't remember ever liking the main character of a FF series. ¬_¬; Ok, some were better than others, but none were ever my favorites in the game. Let's hope this one is the exception.

...I like Reks too, or rather, the idea of the main character having a brother, but I think he was killed. -.-
2005 I believe, but don't take my word for it. I've not followed news on the game save for deciding to go watch the trailer. It's very rare that there's been a videogame where the main character was a favorite, FF series or any other. *tries to think of one* ... I'm sure there is, but none come to mind at the moment.

Reks shouldn't die! They wouldn't dare! WAah! ;_; (Yea right they wouldn't. FF9 is a perfect example of how evil the FF game crew is.)

curiosity....killed the cat...

Just for curiosity...
why have you stopped following POT?
If it's because the American arc is boring to death(without all my favourite characters,and even a Oshitari that play double with Kikumaru)....i can understand you!
Same here.

Re: curiosity....killed the cat...

I never reached the Senbatsu arc to tell the truth. I stopped following the anime during the Rikkai arc, and stopped following the manga during the Kirihara vs Fuji match. Don't get me wrong, I love Rikkai. They are in fact, my favorite team along with Hyotei. But a few elements, fandom-wise as well as how the series was being handled just didn't go well with me. Coupled with the fact that I discovered MUDding at around the same time and it in turn ate my life...

I probably shouldn't post this here, but whatever

You're a mod at [info]temps_mort, right?

I have two ideas for new challenges, for when you come back from your vacation.

"Challenge 1: Knowing
How can you tell how well you know someone? Write a fic about one character "knowing" another one."

"Challenge 2: Craft Skills
Write about a character having a craft skill not shown. It could be knitting, or crocheting or whatever."

I'll leave the time limits to your discretion.

Enjoy your vacation.
