They're not going to use Roman Numerals!
RN are part of the series. Now they're using numbers!

Umm...

This isn't exactly breaking news, but...what's your source, DP? You always should say where you saw/heard/read something.

--------------------

I had an old signature. Now I've changed it.

I think the site here may talk about it. They spelled "sight" wrong, so I'm not sure about the integrity.

Eschewing the roman numerals for now (expect them to be back in place later, however),

Did you forget to read the stuff in brackets, DP? ^-^

No. That's not where I read it.
I'm having some issues getting back to where I found it, but I'll report back later once I can get it up.

Well, the link from Square Enix's web site is www.ff12.com (take a look here). I don't know if that actually means anything, or if that's just what the link to the site will be once it's open.

Squaresoft also owns finalfantasyxii.com.

finalfantasy12.com and ffxii.com are owned by other people.

Why aren't you shopping AmaCoN?

I couldn't find the site again, but I do have some outside confirmation from someone at another forum I go to. She's a part of some net group that gets advance info on video games.
She won't give me much more info on the thing (to check into the group) because she's vain enough to try and make sure she's the one to give out game news at that forum
But as far as I can tell, she's not screwing with me. In fact, she made a big announcement about that, and she has given out info on other things as well, all being valid.

Which leads to the next question:

What is the link to these forums, so we can check it out and decide for ourselves if it's trustworthy?

An affiliate of yours.
She told me this at the RPGC Message Boards.

It's not really newsworthy regardless.

Hey, put the cellphone down for a while

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

Even so, people complain about little things that change. FFVIII's no armor, FFIX's having only certain magic per character, FFX's well, alot of things, FFXI's lack of an offline play (well, that's legitimate), and even button configuration. FF12 has something now.

Apparently I was called to be the source. I'm DP's source on this. Yes, it's true. Yes, it's not necesarrily huge. Yes, it's not really new any more. Yes, I'll quote the article.

... Sources inside Square [Enix] have commented that 12 is a bold new direction for the series and it will be unlike any Final Fantasy title before it (it doesn't use Roman numerals - Gasp!). The pastel art style is definitely a new look for the series, but we have a feeling that this is just the tip of the iceberg for the challenges that the game will introduce.

Any and all spelling errors are my fault.

Good work, DP, you coerced a new member.

Do you have a link for it, Cala? I believe you, I'd just like to read it too.

A) No.
B) It's not on-line (well, the bulk of it, anyway).
C) No.

I'll post the news I get here when I get it.

Another new member.
That's funny, since Cala's the one known for doing that

Well, it looks like you have my source now

If you've visited the RPGC Agora, you'd notice my title is Corrupter of All. There's a reason for that.

OK, let's keep this to discussion of FF12 or let the topic die, thanks.

Anyone got any other info about twelve, or is it just rumour and speculation?
(no offence, but to me, numerals not being used is about as Major as a Sergeant...)

Hmm, the new Game Informer came a few days ago and I just got around to reading it today. They also had a bit on it not having roman numerals. Maybe legit, but I'm still skeptical.

Right but we've known up to at least FFXIV or at least FF.net has interesting isn't it? I go to playonline.com to read more about Ct and they talk about 11 12 only plus some crappy-looking game. anyone know what happened to playonline?

I saw a few early screenshots of Final Fantasy XII like...3 years ago. Certainly was NOT the pastel stuff we're seeing today, but the characters look the same.
