In an interview with the Final Fantasy XII developer Yasumi Matsuno, a few new tidbits are revealed about the game:

The game will be in 2 DVDs
Very little love elements in the game
The game style resembles Vagrant Story
Huge world map
Many people will be surprised: "Is this Final Fantasy?"
Tight controls

hmmm sound good to me, I really hope the very little love elements WON'T be increased.
also Huge World map sound good to me .

Well, then again FFVIII was supposed to be a love story and we only got to see them just kissing in the ending...

I thought FFVIII was the most romantic of them all, especially after the space segment.

This sounds really good. I hope we can hear some more information soon.

Yeah, tight controls? That couldn't mean "blazing-fast and accurate navigation of boring menus"... VS style? Hell yeah!

And, maybe the characters will look different. From the poll running on Quiter, those CG designs aren't quite a 'hit'.

I doubt they'll change it this late in the game. :\

Anyways, is there a place with the full translated interview?

...the game seems less horrible to me now, but I'd like to know more, and most importantly, how big a sword can you get?

I'm actually quite a fan of having a love story involved in the game... Oh well.

That was one of the reasons I liked FFVIII so much.

Why 2 DVDs? Why not dual-layered single disc?
Or might it be that 1 DVD's the game and the other's some kind of movie. Like, they package the FF7 movie together with FF12.

I'd like to know what does "sage" mean!
It can't mean the magic user or herb...

NARUHODO!!!!
thanks!
sage is 下げ (opp age　上げ).
Sage is a command to post without bumping a thread (for example, when you post "kuso sure", you don't want the thread to be bumped). Age is just "bump".

Well there WAS an issue of Jump Magazine a while back where Matsuno said something along the lines of "It would be like no other FF to date." So that alone makes sense. The other featurs, I HOPE are true, but I'm not exactly getting my hopes up.

When FFX was in development there was a lot of similar information like it being the first RPG with two DVDs as well as Uematsu supposedly saying there'll be song numbers IN GAME actually sung by the characters like Rikku and Yuna. Which is why I'm not exactly taking this info seriously.

I DO hope the stuff about the World Map, the lack of a Love story (which definetel;y SOUNDS like Matsuno) are true. I, too, would like to have an old-school styl;ed map, and not the, IMHO, Crap, from FFX (or at the LEAST be able to fly airships in real-time again, and not have a simple "point-and-click" destination system)
