Phew, that's a long title. Looks like fans of the cartoon style of previous Final Fantasy Tactics titles (Advance and War of the Lions) may not care much for the new, darker approach to the box art above, but for those of you with a distinctly gothy streak still left over from high school (ahem), it ought to suit you just fine. Then, of course, there's the game itself -- here are the features per Square Enix:
- Explore the fantastic world of Ivalice and join forces with famous heroes from FINAL FANTASY® XII – Vaan, Penelo and Al-Cid.
- All-new content and enhancements, including polished game mechanics, new jobs, new classes, and a new clan system that enrich the Ivalice experience for fans and newcomers alike.
- The North American release will allow players to command characters in battle and navigate through menus all with a tap of the stylus.
- Witness vibrant and colorful visuals in dual-screen presentation, made possible by Nintendo DS.
- Increased replay value with up to 400 available quests, allowing players to immerse themselves in a multi-faceted storyline.
There's more to wipe your saliva all over at the official website, which marks the title for a June 24th release. Here's to hoping you have plenty of free time to dedicate to this one.

Also, Colette your article title has a typo in it.
FFTA was video game crack to levels unheard of since Diablo or PSO. I can't wait for this game. :D
Unnnnnggghhhh
/facepalm
I'm sold but I think that's a given.
Wait, does that mean you cannot command your guys in battle when you buy the PAL release?
Now if only the story was more along the lines of the original FFT instead of another kiddy story that happens to take place in Ivalice then I'd feel a little more hyped for FFTA2. It was my biggest peeve with the first Advance game and will likely be the same with this. The gameplay is its own saving grace.
aaaaamen.
i love love love the original FFT (as well as the PSP "re-make"). i would absolutely kill for a true FFT sequel and not the FFTA style kind.
i will definitely buy this and play it, but if its like FFTA1 then i may end up putting it down after a bit. it has its merits and im sure some prefer it over the original, but i find it to be a lesser version, lacking in many places... and from what i hear this game is very similar to the first, save for the storyline. while im all for a better storyline, there is much room for improvement in other areas as well.
FFT is awesome, so ill take what i can get, but cmon... wheres the REAL sequel?
FFT was good cause it also made sense, if you were from at a high location your archer had greater range, attacking from behind of flanking would cause more damage, etc etc
FFT was the perfect tactical game.
Oh, you co** sucking mother fu**ers have to add FF7 to everything, don't you?? God damn it Square.
wut? those are ffXii aka 12 characters..
i kind of like the cover.. reminds me of the psp remakes of 1 and 2.. which to me are just boring.
also, i could do without the 12 tie-in's...i was hoping for another Neverending story rip off.. /sigh i loved the first tactics advance.
