Is this game alive? Yes, seriously. At last
year's E3, director Yasumi Matsuno was able to talk about the crazy
changes he's been making to the FF formula. (Replacing FF's reliable active-time-battle formula is the new active-dimension-battle system, a real-time system modeled after FFXI's
"you see a monster, you walk right up and start smacking" combat.)
However, effecting all these changes is proving to be a lot more time
intensive than anyone may have originally thought. A little bit of
FFXII will be shown at this year's E3, but no one on the development
team is actually attending the convention, hence the speculation that
they're all busy working hard to make FFXII a playable game.
A quick plot summary: The Archadian Empire goes on a crazy
world-conquest spree and rolls over the kingdom of Dalmasca. The
Archadian army is establishing a new consul in the Dalmascan capital of
Rabanastre. Since Vaan-the main character-hates the Archadians because
of what happened to his brother Rex (who was killed in the line of duty
for the Dalmascan army), he decides to steal from the new consul.
During his theft, the Dalmascan resistance, led by Princess Ashe,
initiates an attack against the Archadians. The story unfolds from
here, but at this point, only Matsuno knows what will happen.
