Final Fantasy XII Sequel "Fortress" Tech Demo Has Been Leaked

January 17, 2010 in Video comments 20

A while back, it was revealed that GRIN's unannounced Final Fantasy title hadn't actually been cancelled, and had instead been pulled by Square Enix after only six months of development due to quality concerns and placed under the wing of an unnamed studio.

Well, a tech demo for the game has been leaked onto the 'net. It is a sequel to Final Fantasy XII and Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings, and will be released on PS3, 360 and PC.

        It's debatable. The cast was god-awful, but the gameplay for the battles was decent at the story...well that's a love-hate situation. I for one enjoyed the game's storyline, was something a little different than the generic RPGs.

          FFXII's battle system was BORING, but the real issue is that it catered to fans of MMORPGs over the fans of the traditional FF games and that just didn't sit well with the fans.

          Really, I made it through a little over half the game before I had to give it up because I was dieing from boredom. It is still THE ONLY Final Fantasy game I've started and not finished at least once.

          Even if people didnt like the new battle system, the settings could be changed to make it like older FF games.

        To be honest, yes, it is the shittiest FF title in recent history. People applaud the battle system but to be honest it was BORING and god-awful. I have no idea why they would make a sequel to it.

          Whoa whoa, whats with everyone bitching about FFXII? Yes it wasn't the best FF, but for what it was, it was a great game.

          Anyone who considers themselves a FF fan who couldn't play through that game and enjoy the story and all the game elemenets included in it is an idiot. Ok so the battle system is different, still worked, Was only bad to people who couldn't figure it out.

          You want a bad FF? Look at FFX-2, now that's a bad FF game.

          So I'm an idiot because I managed to play all the other numbered FF games (as well as many others) but simply couldn't get through FFXII because there were no redeeming factors about it? Hahaha, good one.

          Strangely the thing about FFX-2 is that there may actually be people that liked the characters (shocking, I know). While they may have been god-awful irritating for most of us, they at least had...personalities.

          Actually, scratch that. FFX-2 had undeniably bad story and characters, but it had gameplay elements of significantly higher quality than FFXII (i.e. the battle system...dresspheres would have been okay had they not been so poorly designed).

    I'm glad it was saved. I have seen some of the concept art and was worried that it would vanish

    I REALLY think the biggest problem with FF12 was the Art Direction. It was just so ill-conceived. The characters had skin toned sclera (whites of the eye). It was just very strange. Bits of it were cool, but all in all it was weird.

      I thought the characters looked sort of painted. Their faces had these little blurs and smudges that looked like brush strokes. I'm all for the Nomura BELTANANDZIPPERAN style, but that game was a nice change of pace.

        That's the the thing, there were clarity issues. The models in FF10 looked more detailed and crisp because of the art style and that's a problem.

          I think Squeenix were going for the whole Vagrant Story look with FFXII...but didn't quite succeed. The graphics just ended up looking bland and washed out.
