Yeah well that's true. Changed was the wrong word I guess. Oh well. Either way I think it's cool to see Disney and Final Fantasy characters together in one game. I just saw the commerical not too long ago. Looks great.

Quick question: Do you know if it's gonna work like Final Fantasy? If so will it be the old battle system like FF9 or the new system like FF10?

Thanks in advance,
Bev

In a way, yes, but with new features such as "targeting" and "magic shortcut". Targeting is self-explanatory, but magic shortcut allows you to assign a particular spell to a particular button. So if you assign "fire" to x, you press L1 then x to release a fire spell without having to go through the menu. My guess is that battles are in ATB (Active Time Battle) and that there are no transitions when you go into battle, since it's an action RPG. Pretty hard if you aren't used to enemies sneeking up on you unlike in the random battles system (which I am used to. :riiight: )

lol. I never got used to the random battles. I'd be walking along and then all of a sudden there's this transitions (The glass breaking one in FF10 used to scare me lol). That sounds good though. The Magic shortcut sounds very cool. If this game is anything like FF you'll need all the shortcuts you can get! lol

Thanks again,
Bev

You're very welcome!

A little more info again, by the way. If you've seen the trailer, the music in the background is the orchestrated version of "Hikari" (The theme song for the Japanese version of the game.)

Oh cool. Thanks for the info. I'm really interested in the music of this game. I love FF's music esp FF8. "Eyes On You" is just a beautiful song. I haven't heard anything else from Faye Wong. I've never heard anything from Hikaru Utada so I can't wait to hear the music. I'm sure it'll all be great.

I like "Eyes On Me", too.. But I liked "Melodies of Life" better because it was more nostalgic. Anyway, "Hikari" sounds better, in my opinion, than "Simple And Clean" because Hikaru Utada changed the melody of the chorus in "Simple And Clean"... But anyway, you decide.

You're right about "Melodies of Life." I'm a huge FF8 fan (if you couldn't tell) so I'm biased I guess. "Eyes" is just such a beautiful song. But I will listen to the song when I get the game. And I'll be fair (maybe). lol

hehe OK

Good thing you live in the US.. You could go out and buy it already. We don't have the game here yet.

lol Well I can't buy it yet. No money. I will try to rent it soon though. Where are you from? When is it getting to you?
