This thread is here for people to give their thoughts on the game and propose some speculation about it.
Personally, I am very excited about an actual sequal to a Final Fantasy game. I've always wanted this for the FF series and now its finally happened. They couldn't have picked a better FF game to make a sequal for.
So give your thoughts.

I just hope the cast of playable characters expands beyond scantily clad human women. I'm anxiously waiting for the announcement of male and/or non-human characters.
I'm glad that the battle system is completely redone. I loved FFX's battle system, but I put nearly 120 hours into that game and something different is much appreciated.
Edit:
By "I don't like the way it looks so far..." I what I say later in the message about how they've only shown scantily clad women as playable characters so far.

If the story is as good as FF10's story was, FF10-2 will definitely be worth playing. My only concern is the battle system. If it's like Kingdom Hearts non-turn system, I'll probably hate it. If it's the traditional turn-based system like all the other Final Fantasies, I'll love it!
Have you guys seen the trailer? It looks awesome!

What are you not so positive about?
The impressions I linked to said the game wasn't so great.

Oh.
They kinda left FFX open for a sequel at the end. Have you ever beaten it?
Anyway, just because the story seems like the ends are tied, its nothing a good writer can't handle

I like how creative Square is being. Pop Star job?
Sounds like a knock-off of the "Teen Idol" job in DQVII (and perhaps others)

Final fantasy actually had a "singing" job first. It's called bard. So technically, DQVII, copied off final fantasy.

Wonder if you meant FFCC since Zelda WW has been out since X-mas in Japan.
About FF X-2. I'm a bit disappointed with the ideal of a sequel especially after seeing the first Yuna pics. Twin calibur guns for a priestess--doesn't add up. Laura Croft anyone?
Hopefully, the plot remains intact.
This is first FF that I won't be pre-ordering, instead I'm going wait for the reviews from my Fellow diehard FF players.

Yeah I know about the Bard class, and I suppose you can draw a comparison there. Either way it isn't innovative.
All I can do now is hope FFXII rocks.

We'll be getting Unlimited Saga this Summer. That'll probably be cool.

That sums up what I have to say.

They are! Front Mission 4 is coming out next spring.
And each game is a "final" fantasy for its own separate world and characters.

Well duh. The numbered Final Fantasies (7,8,9,10,10-2,11,12) are all Playstation console exclusives. This is so obvious, how could you miss it? (The sky is blue too....go look.)

.It was not announced yet whether 12 will be exclusive or not. And FYI, 7, 8 and 11 were released on PC as well...
I'm not sure, was there even released more than just one pic (a random artwork) of FF12? I mean, we don't even know what it's about, yet people hype it up till kingdom come.

A PC is not a console. I specifically said that the final fantasies (7-12) were CONSOLE-exclusive to the PS1/2.
And yes, FF12 has already been announced to be on the PS2 exclusively. (Naturally. If you were making a AAA-title, the 12th in the 15-yr-old series, would you target the PS2 with 60 million consoles or the Cube/Box with only 12 million? The answer is obvious. You target the largest audience.)

You can't make that claim. We only have one month's worth of stats.... come back after the Christmas holiday, and THEN we'll see which console sold the most copies of Soul Calibur 2. (ASIDE: Historically, PS2 games continue selling high amounts for several months, while Cube/Box games quickly fall off the chart. I predict, over the long term, SC2 will sell best on the 60 million strong PS2 console.... not the 12 million Cube/Box. The PS2 has a 5 to 1 advantage in potential SC2 buyers.)
ANYWAY, Final Fantasy 12 *is* exclusive to the Playstation. Sony/Squaresoft have already signed the contract, and Squaresoft made the announcment. It's a done deal, and nothing you say will alter that fact.
P.S. Another reason FF12 on the Cube does not make sense: NOT ENOUGH DISC SPACE. The Cube disc only hold 1.5 gigabytes. The PS2 holds 9 gigabytes. Because Squaresoft *loves* putting movies in their Final Fantasy games, they *need* to have all the space they can get, and the PS2 provides that space (6 times more room).
