Enter an era of war within the world of Ivalice. The small kingdom of Dalmasca, conquered by the Archadian Empire, is left in ruin and uncertainty. Princess Ashe. Final Fantasy 12: The Zodiac Age will hit Japanese PS4s sometime in 2017. Yes, I said PS4, but bear with me. Steam currently holds a larger collection of Final Fantasy games than exists on any console, and Final Fantasy 10 Remastered was announced for Steam just a week before it went live. I feel safe getting excited for this one.
final fantasy xii is due for a release in north america on ps2 at the end of the month after receiving quite positive reviews upon its japanese launch. this launch may now be marred if rumors are to be believed.over the past couple of days, there has been news that a u.s. copy of the game has been leaked and torrents set up to distribute this illegal version. the size of the game and the nature of torrents has meant distribution remained slow, but now several torrents have appeared, and downloading has increased in popularity. this has also resulted in more sources confirming it is actually an english language version of the game.
square enix has yet to return comment on the matter.
this is a big blow for square enix if it turns out to be true and could damage sales figures considerably dependent on how long the torrents remain active. the longer they are open, the more chance of the game appearing on pirate dvds and being distributed further potentially lowering sales of the game.

what(9:43am est wed oct 04 2006) if peeople want to get the game illegaly and not pay for it they would probably be just as willing to wait till release and get a torent then. i don't think this has an potential to hurt sales – by blah blah blah |
re: what(10:12am est wed oct 04 2006) the game appearing on pirate dvds before the actual launch is the problem. people that get it on torrent would have done so anyways. one of the big problems is that a direct link to the torrented file was on digg.com front page which give several thousand users access and instruction of where and how to get it. this will indeed affect sales. just about everyone i know has a modded ps2 and more than half of them are already playing this game. – by madden 98 player |

ff?(10:28am est wed oct 04 2006) don't get me wrong, i'm a ff fan from way back. nes ff1 is still the s**t! but seriously, how many ff 10's and 11's are there? shouldn't it be like ff 26 or something? – by randomer |
ps2 piracy(10:41am est wed oct 04 2006) unless there's something that i'm not aware of you have to have a modded ps2 to play these pirated games. i considered it at one point, but modding the ps2 is a pain. my point is that if you have to have a modded ps2 to play these pirated copies then very few people are going to even have the ability to play it. please corret me if i'm wrong. – by dustin |
re: madden 98 player(10:49am est wed oct 04 2006) “just about everyone i know has a modded ps2” that's suprising to hear because none of the people i know that have a modded ps2. – by dustin |
dustin(10:54am est wed oct 04 2006) ur peepl arnt 1337 h4rdcor3 enuf. ha ha. just kidding. you make a good point: the average consumer has not modded their system. however, the average consumer isn't into ff that much, either. – by mark |

i know about this(11:07am est wed oct 04 2006) there were kids passing out copies at my son's grade school. it is nice to see the right age group playing with these games, but we all know that that “big kids” will chime in soon enough. it's too bad, and it's sad to see that adults are still playing games. – by adult geek |

re adult geek?(11:14am est wed oct 04 2006) passing copies at grade school ? kids are smarter now and are using usenet “newsgroups”. a quicker way then bittorrent to get such “warez”. – by use-net-for-txt |

whazoo(11:36am est wed oct 04 2006) i just don't understand why or how they can release ff10 10 times over 5 years and it is still big news??? why can't they just release on all platforms at the same time? – by randomer |
re randomer(11:41am est wed oct 04 2006) why not ? it sells. there are only ff 10 & ff 10-2 for ps2. not 10 versions, maybe if you count the eu, jp & collectors versions. ff 11 or ffxi is released on pc, ps2, xbox, xbox360. ff 11 = a online mmorg, and have to pay a monthly fee. – by whazoo |
re adult geek(12:09pm est wed oct 04 2006) strange' but you do seem to hit a nerve with commemts like– it's sad to see that adults are still playing games. there must be plenty of em.and they must care what others think. to react the way they do. – by no gamer |
i wouldn't worry about it affecting sales(12:09pm est wed oct 04 2006) this shouldn't affect the american release at all.ps2's arent like dvd players. you cant just copy the game disc and stick it the unit and start playing. the game would only work on modded ps2's. witch wolud ammount to less that half of 1 precent of all the ps2's that are in america most likley. so its pointless to worry about it. – by baradeithel |

wicked!(12:51pm est wed oct 04 2006) i can't wait until i get my hands on this sequel! just think, i can enjoy 2 hours of gameplay and 40 hours of fmv! amazing! love those japenese rpg's! – by scott |
turned based?(12:52pm est wed oct 04 2006) i beat ffx and have the demo to ffxii that came with kings quest viii. if they have not changed the combat to allow turn based like ffx then i am not getting it. no button mashing timed fighting for me. only fps games get that type of attention from me. – by regulas |
re whazoo(12:52pm est wed oct 04 2006) of course it will sell, it's ff. i think the whole ffx and ffx2 was just strange. maybe they just stretch out their advsertising so long it seems like they are releaseing the same game over and over. – by randomer |
criticisms of ff(1:08pm est wed oct 04 2006) ok, we get it. the final fantasy series has a lot of fmv. but that accompanies 30-60 hours of gameplay. i don't understand why people are so critcal of the series just because it has a lot of movies. the stories are often epic and amazing. the fmvs complement that, but there is plenty of gameplay to go along with the movies. i don't see people complaining about games that are amazing but too short (beyond good and evil). i am inclined to think that people who criticize ff for this reason either don't like rpgs at all, or are rpg snobs who play obscure titles and see ff as overexposed. i could be wrong though. you tell me. – by chipt |
re: regulas(1:08pm est wed oct 04 2006) they've stated many times that you turn the battle mode to the wait style from classic ffs. i'd have to go back and play it to be sure, but i think you could even toggle that option in the demo. as for the games being for kids, i think s9 said it the best. – by dustin |
lawsuit(1:58pm est wed oct 04 2006) i heard that square enix is preparing and filing a lawsuit against certain sites and naming john doe defendants. the idea is that they will sue the site, then get the isps and names of the downloaders and seeders through further discovery. – by ip pirate |
chipt(2:07pm est wed oct 04 2006) i’ve enjoyed rpgs since final fantasy 1 and dragon warrior but have never been a big fan of the movies in between. don’t get me wrong, a good story line makes all the difference but i just don’t care to sit through it for so long. ironically enough i blame this on video games, they’ve killed my attention span o) – by strict9 |
lawsuit?(2:13pm est wed oct 04 2006) lawsuit? i heard that square enix is preparing and filing a lawsuit against certain sites and naming john doe defendants. the idea is that they will sue the site, then get the isps and names of the downloaders and seeders through further discovery. is this possible? if (hypothetically) i downloaded and seeded, then will the bittorrent site give up my isp and name?! – by oh |
re randomer(2:28pm est wed oct 04 2006) ff x-2 is not the same as ff x. ff x-2 is more action orientated than ffx. if the fans demand a sequal, it will usually be made. it is all about maximizing profit. look at ff vii-2 dirge of cerberus, a sequal or side story of ff vii. there is even a ff vii rpg “before crisis” for the panasonic f900 cell phone.

re oh(2:38pm est wed oct 04 2006) most public bittorrent sites do not keep records or logs for more than a day. otherwise they would waist a lot of serverspace. private bittorrent sites are different, they have to keep log of user upload/download ratios to keep them from being a leecher. to be completly safe get a paid usenet provider and download from newsgroups. for 20 bucks a month you can download a few gigs without uploading and traces to your pc. – by usenet |
lawsuit!?(2:59pm est wed oct 04 2006) thanks for the info usenet. i'd rather wait for the game on oct. 31, than pay usenet $20 for a dubious copy, or risk my ass getting named in a lawsuit because some crap torrent site gave up my isp and name. and i don't think this is “untraceable.” i talked to the network services people at my firm. anything is traceable on the net. it's a matter of how bad you want the info. – by oh |
re oh(3:17pm est wed oct 04 2006) usenet is not own by anyone. it is just files hosted on serverspace on providers, isp and universitys across the world. it is one of the oldest way of accessing internet. it used to be text only. now you can encode a binary file in pieces and upload it to the newsserver at your isp and it spreads across the world. the retentionrate is on most isp, very bad, they delete them after a few hours or days. paid usenet providers such as giganews has a retentionrate of 80 days or more. Feb 12, 2019 - If you've been prompted in Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender Security Center to download and run Windows Defender Offline,. Windows defender offline iso download. when using a newsreader you only download those binaries and there is no upload. most conutrys it is illegal to upload , but perfectly legal to download. retentionrate = the time they keep the post online – by usenet |
pg2(4:06pm est wed oct 04 2006) not that it's perfect, but if you're going to try this stuff use peer gaurdian 2. you can still get busted, but it's currently blocking a billion (i think) ip addresses of companies that are known to be monitoring what you download/upload. – by dustin |
chipt(4:17pm est wed oct 04 2006) “i am inclined to think that people who criticize ff for this reason either don't like rpgs at all, or are rpg snobs who play obscure titles and see ff as overexposed.” not really. i think more and more people want real rpg's as opposed to linear “follow” the storyline like a puppet stlye rpg's like ff and the many other so-called japanese stlye rpg's – by ralph |

ralph(2:28pm est thu oct 05 2006) your crazy if you compare pc rpgs to japanese traditional rpgs. they aren't even similar. storys are more streamlined, but they are far less boring. games like oblivion have no story. well no good story. it is just a lot of running around. the game takes absolutely no intelligence to understand the story. not all japanese rpgs are good, but some of them have stories that can put tears in your eyes and make you beg for more. i have never seen a person emotional over baldur's gate or games like that. mindless follower's of microsoft windows junk. – by guess |
guess(10:28pm est thu oct 05 2006) japanese rpg's if you can even call them that are linear. it's a follow the story type game. as for not requiring any intelligence to understand the storyline in oblivion. lol. you could be a mushroom and understand any ff game. it's simple as following a book. it guides you through. all those rpg's are basic. i have yet to see one japanese rpg with a open ended storyline. charecter developement is basic. made for casual gamers. that is what i call junk. oh…then to make the game seem better, they put in 20 hours of fmv in it. yes. such a real rpg game. – by ralph |

closet gamer raplh(10:34am est fri oct 06 2006) you need to open yourself up if you haven't seen a japanese game that is open ended. ffxi is sort of, but who said anything about final fantasy in the first place. there are a lot better japanese rpgs out there. xenosaga had an amazing story. how about some of the best chrono cross, suikoden ii, nocturne, and a bunch of other greats. if all you have played in ff games you are living in a closet. – by guess |
dont have to be moded(12:45pm est fri oct 06 2006) you can run backups without a hard mod get magic swap look it up and youll be fine most you have to do is remove the cover on the cd drive so you can switch while running game. i also will buyretail copy but i am dling game at the moment i have no problem getting it early. i happen to be a big ff fan thats why id buy retail to get the copy i could use for years. – by burnzilla |
i have played(3:57pm est fri oct 06 2006) many japanese rpg's and they are all very similar. turned based combat. some are not. limited charecter development in all of them. lots and i mean lots of fmv. which is pointless. at some point, you just want to play the game and not watch hours of fmv. i thought it was a ” game” if not. just rent anime then at your local video store. every single one of these rpg's are linear. carrot and stick story lead. why? because they are catered to the japanese market that perfer linear based story lines. a 3 year old can play these games. it's like following a aesop fable. that's not a real rpg. – by ralph |

s256(12:55am est mon oct 09 2006) but 10-15 hours of fmv in a game? that's too excessive. – by gary |
gary(4:16pm est mon oct 09 2006) that is a lot, but it is spread out over 60 or so hours, and most final fantasy's only have a couple hours of cg fmvs. some have way less that that. the rest is real time cutscenes. every game has a lot of them. including games like obilivion, wow, and other western rpgs. that is what advances the story. – by guess |

loving it.(10:59pm est tue oct 10 2006) wow, a leaked version? i have been waiting for this game since it came out in japan, and due to the fact that i am in a pal region (australia), news that i can get it before it comes out here in march of next year!!! is phenominal… i even got my ps2 mod for this game. i am shattered, though, that turn based combat has been dumped for real time. button mashing games are f@cked, i just hope the story can keep me interested. which is the main selling point, really, isnt it? they are usually so dramatic and emotional… well, they were, but quality in the ff series has been on a steady decline in my opinion. lets hope that this trend doesnt continue. – by death penalty |
