Well first of all, here's a nice shot of the new Rikku:

Reminds me of Kid from Chrono Cross. But anyway. According to the article, FFX-2 will feature a job system (like FFT) where the characters' costumes change based on which class they're in.

NOW I'm interested in the game.

Now THAT'S cool. However it does seem like the outfits that are shown off now seem a bit too fanservicey.

Job system sounds cool, and it'll get my dollar...

Fanservice may be a bit too much, but I like the new Yuna. So I'll be there for it...:)

Well, lets not judge Square to harshly. They still haven't provided lap dancer and cheerleader as jobs yet.

There's the FFT dancer job... and I'm not complaining, a fanservicial rpg is a good idea: very beautiful girls in sexy clothes with actual character development and personalities can be the coolest thing ever.

Yup! count me in!!
I just hope that the summon job will be here that's my favorite, but I doubt about it.

I totally agree! Since it isn't really a full fledged FF game, it wouldn't be bad if there where a lot of jokey parts.

Every RPG has a few jokey and cute elements to its battle system (bribe, dancing etc) and I would like to see FFX2 be soley the female characters from FFX in some kind of light hearted adventure, with a battle system that is all jokey and fanservice elements.

We could call it "Square Gals' RPG".

Blarg. I do hope that this is a game that strengthens Ms. Yuna as a character, and not the opposite. I don't like to think of the Final Fantasy game with the female cast being a throw-away or "joke" game. There have been strong female leads in RPG's before, Lucia in Lunar~Eternal Blue and Tina Branford in Final Fantasy VI being the best examples, and I'd like to see Square do the same for Yuna if they insist on this FFX2 business.

Hmmm, chara designs. I guess I can't really argue against them per se. ^_^ It's perfectly possible for Yuna to be both a strong character and a sexy woman...those two have never been exclusive, and some would say that they go together. Still, with games there is an aggravating tendency for the latter to dwarf the former with female characters. I relaly do hope this is a strengthening game for Yuna and not a "find validation in finding a guy after having an adventure" game for Yuna.

Though if you HAD shown me the CG Yuna poster eight years ago when FF VI was out and told me it was a future Final Fantasy, I never would have believed you. Nomura san has good stuff, but like the white boxes, I think Amano Yoshitaka san's art has given the series a certain distinctive edge that makes it stand out visually from other series.

"job system, small cast?" , posted Sat 16 Nov 18:43

If there's a job system chances are that the three girls will be all the playable characters, since you don't need more, did you noticed this? Then again: less characters - better development.

True. Are they making a new character or using Lulu again?

It isn't clear yet, although it might be Lulu. I actually hope it's a new girl,though.

It'd be a fair trade off, and since I like Yuna and Rikku I'm okay with the line up. Plus it takes away the messy problem of leveling up a whole punch of characters (something I never do properly for all of my characters, I always leave one or two behind...).

Hmm, I wonder if the game will use the FFX save in any way, like Suikoden does. Would be neat if it did...

Its a new character. In the other page of the scan with Rikku, you can see the back of the third character, and its clearly not Lulu...

Unless she dyed her hair yellow and changed her hairstyle.

Here's to seeing a badass fighter Yuna decked out in armor.

Hopefully.

No, I don't have some sort of armor fetish.

"Male characters in." , posted Sun 17 Nov 08:03

I don't think that our 3 ladys will be alone, a square worker have said on a fan BBS (oui Olivier me renseigne moi tossi!!) that 8 characters are "normaly" in. IMO it will have surprised me to not see any male charcters in.......

an other rumor, that seems not really reliable said that Auron is in as a summon.....

I saw Gameforms, pretty much confirmed the same info, except they mentioned the third female character is named Pain. But no no, THIS is what's funny:

Do they actually "change" clothes in battle? Or is it safe to assume, it's more of an Athena type transformation?

I'm only expecting these three ladies.. ha ha ha, maybe they'll do " magical girl " transformations. More likely, they'll just hop off screen and hop back on...
