A website for the North American release of FFTA2: Rift of the Grimoire was promised just days ago, and Square-Enix has already delivered. The company has once again put together a beautiful website for the game. As is par for the course for RPG websites by Squenix, not all of the information is available, but we already have access to a page for the story; a page for characters, which includes information about characters Luso, Adelle, Hurdy, and Cid, with spaces for 6 more; a look at five of seven races and some of "more than 50 classes"; and sections under construction for the battle system and multimedia.

In addition, some questions were answered on the Square-Enix Members Blog regarding the game, which says that the storyline of FFTA2 will be completely independent of the other FFT games, so gamers new to the series can jump right in.

The website just makes me more excited for the game. The characters have neat designs and I'm really excited to hear that there will be over fifty classes. I'm hoping that that doesn't necessarily mean class/race combinations, so they could, theoretically, give a Hume White Mage and a Viera Whtie Mage different abilities and call it two different classes, but that could possibly happen. Either way, I'm looking forward to June 24 more and more.

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while
In the night there is something wild
Can you hear it breathing?
And hey, put the laptop down for a while
In the night there is something wild
I feel it, it's leaving me

Oh yay.~
This brightens up my gloomy day a bit.
Thanks for the links Neal.

Yes, we're mixed up in a heavenly game

It's dangerous, when will I finish this game?

I has a DA. I:

What seemed to be the standard for the last game was that White Mage was White Mage across the board, but if there was any name difference, they picked up slightly different sets of abilities, kinda like Time Mages and Oracles in FFT. Both can keep a character from acting, they just do it with a different name.

FFTA2 looks like fun. FFTA was my first Tactics game that I was able to fully immerse myself into, and this will be even better with the DS now (I hope).

I find it odd that they're still calling it Advance now that it's on the DS tho. I understand the sequel concept, but if the games have completely different plots, then FFT: Rift of the Grimoire would have been fine.

And seriously, WTF is up with Luso's massive glass sword?

For Real?

Really?

Ok. I'm in.
