What's new? Aside from hand-to-hand fighting capabilities, FFVIII introduces Guardian Force GF Cards, or spells, to give you an edge in your quest Also new for FFVIII are vehicles and trains that provide travel options other than your characters feet-- but at a cost Furthermore, you'll marvel at the daytime and nighttime settings that lend a long-absent note of realism to the Final Fantasy fantasy realm. Just like FFVII, you're allowed only three characters in your battle party, and each are armed with a unique weapon.
FFVIII introduces a new combat system, however--you don't have to mess with weapon, armor, or equipment menus. Instead, nearly every initial character-attribute is modified through the GF Card Junction system, which lets you tie magic stocks to your statistics. The GF Cards must be equipped for your character to have any options during battle besides attack.
These cards also give your characters various special abilities, which are built up using AP points as in Final Fantasy Tactics.
The only drawback is that the Cards are far too powerful early in the game, making it easy to win battles. During gameplay, the polygonal characters are almost completely integrated into the CG surroundings with only a slight drop in graphical detail.
Although the backgrounds are pre-rendered, they're filled with excellent details and moving elements that make them more realistic-looking. Another cool touch the character weapons that visually change every time your attack level is upgraded.
Plus, the music fits the action perfectly, from the rousing battle overtures to the beautiful melodies that underscore the dramatic dialogue. Of course, we were right there to snag one of the first copies of the demo, and now we're back with an updated preview of Square's incredible new RPG sequel. First, some background on the story. Not much has been revealed yet, but here's what we do know. There's a strangely shaped building in the game that serves as a school for soldiers sort of like West Point--see issue , page The school is called Garden.
Squall Leonhart, one of the game's main characters and main character in the demo version is one of the trainees of the school. It's a private school for students between six and 19 years of age. If a student doesn't pass the graduation exam at some point between the ages of 15 and 19, he or she will be expelled from Garden. Garden graduates are exceptional people, and possess the ability to use magic. An even harder goal than merely passing the graduation exam, however, is to become a member of SeeD, a special force that's known around the world of FFVIII.
Highly capable trainees have a chance to try out for SeeD, and that's exactly what Squall is hoping for. The demo itself titled "Escape from Dollet" contains only a very small portion of Final Fantasy Vlll's gamepiay--no more than an hour or so at most. The demo involves Squall and two new characters, Zell Dincht and Rinoa Heartilly--all SeeD candidates--taking part in a mission from Garden with their squad leader, the mysterious Seifer Almasy. Toward the end of the demo, they receive orders to withdraw from their mission and meet at the coast, which is when the timer kicks in just like in the FFVII demo , and they're given 15 minutes to get the hell outta Dollet.
Even though it's rather short, the demo makes for a great teaser. The world graphics are beautiful, the animation is even better than it was in FFVII, and the game's integration with FMV is remarkable--it's nearly flawless. The ending in particular is awesome. The in-game characters look much more realistic this time, though the texture mapping makes for some pixelization when viewed up close.
As we said in our last preview, you now see all party members at all times during the game instead of them just coming out during event scenes, as was the case in all previous FF games.
Since the game supports Sony's Dual Shock analog controller, you can adjust your characters' walking speeds from a subtle tip-toe to a full-on dash, depending on how hard you press the analog stick. Vibration is supported too, both in and out of battle scenes you can turn it off if you wish, of course.
Even the music is excellent, though there's not too much of it in the demo. Gameplay-wise, there are two new battle commands that have been revealed in the demo. Here's how it works: In the demo, you have three party members the entire time who go into battle: Squall, Zell and Rinoa. Squall and Zell both have a "Draw" command in their Command Menu. This allows them to "Draw" magic from their enemies and either "Use" it immediately, or "Stock" it for later use.
In the demo, you can Draw as often as you wish, and there doesn't seem to be any limit to how much magic you can carry or steal. This isn't exactly a good thing, as you could just run around getting into random encounters to massively build up your stock of magic spells; but then again, this is only a demo. We're sure the final game will have some sort of limit to how this works to keep the gameplay balanced. Rinoa, on the other hand, has a command called "G.
This seems to be the replacement for Summoning Magic, which has always been a staple of the FF series. Guardian Force acts much like a Summon spell did in FFVII--you select the command, choose a monster the demo version lets you choose Leviathan , and the monster comes and wreaks havoc on your opposition in an intense animation filled with blinding flashes of light and all sorts of incredible special effects.
You'll be able to evolve your Guardian Force monsters as they gain experience, so they can grow and become more powerful throughout play. In the demo, Squall and Zell both get special attacks that become available after they take a certain amount of damage.
Zell's is called Meteo Bullet, and it's a pretty cool attack that does a huge amount of damage. Squall's is called Renzokuken Sequential Sword Attack , and there are three different forms of it--each has its own special Limit Meter. On the meter are little triangles; as the meter fills up during the attack, you can increase the damage done by pressing Ri every time the bar crosses over one of the triangles.
This is similar to Squall's normal attacks, which can be strengthened by pressing Ri just as his Gunblade cuts through an enemy. Unfortunately, that's all we know. No official word on whether or not anyone else will have a Limit Meter has been released so far.
But of course, we'll keep you updated. That's all for new information this month. Be sure to keep checking back, because as new info is released, you'll find it right here. In the meantime, enjoy the latest barrage of screenshots we've prepared for you. Aside from a few instances of graphical breakup and distortion during close-ups, FFYIII's visuals remain con-sistendy spectacular.
All the characters and surroundings sport excellent details, and the rendered cinematic sequences--more plentiful than those in FFVII--are among the best ever seen on the PlayStation. The character graphics also give the game a more grownup feel. Given that there are three other discs to come, the tale doesn't even begin to take shape until the curtain falls on disc one. Another notable difference is the new combat system. Why bother learning spells by building experience points when you can steal them?
FFVIII allows characters to draw spells from enemies during combat and then cast the acquired spell immediately or stock it for later use. Of course, tougher enemies yield more powerful spells. While both games' graphics and narratives are unchanged, rendered cinema cut-scenes have been added to help flesh out each title's prospective story. The two-CD Anthology is slated for an early October release. On May 15 in Japan, Square unveiled to an enthusiastic press the latest installment in what is undeniably the most popular RPG series in the entire world.
Always careful not to reveal too much too early, Square has only released a few minor tidbits about the game so far, as well as some screenshots and information regarding the game's first two main characters, Squall Leonhart and Laguna Loire. At the press conference in Japan, and then again at E3, they showed off a brief video of the game, showcasing mostly FMV scenes and some early battle sequences from the game, which according to Square, is currently about 20 percent complete.
The scene then changed to seven fighter jets airships? Afterward, we saw a fleet of huge ships forging through the sea. Standing on the deck of one of the ships was Squall, who checks out a map before suddenly dropping into a flashback sequence that shows him running through a desert, being chased by an armed vehicle.
After this sequence, the video went on to show various battle scenes filled with flashy special effects , more FMV clips and a few in-game scenes. A couple of scenes worth noting were the awesome Leviathan summon spell which is shown wiping out a huge spider-like mech robot , as well as the aforementioned satellite tower unleashing a massive attack on unsuspecting opposition.
Needless to say, the video was impressive. When asked about the theme of Final Fantasy VIII, the game's producer, Hironobu Sakaguchi, responded "There are lots of elements in the game, but one of the members of the team. Sakaguchi explained that he wants to pursue a more in-depth and detailed story line for FFVIII, and he's seeking a more effective graphical expression for the storytelling.
He added that he hasn't forgotten about the interactive elements that make it a video game, though. This too will help make the in-game characters look more like their FMV counterparts. And last but certainly not least, for the first time in the series, all of your party members will be shown on the field at the same time. No more will you have one guy walking around when suddenly three people jump out of him to start chatting.
Now everyone will be shown simultaneously, all the time. The best news of all at this press conference concerned the game's release date. While it won't be released in Japan until "sometime this winter" which basically means anytime before the end of the fiscal year next March , the U.
Another demo--this time playable-will come bundled with Brave Fencer Musashiden when it is released in November. We'll have our own playable demo on July 14 when Brave Fencer Musashiden hits Japan, so expect more coverage of what will surely become the most anticipated game of real soon. Squall is a poker-faced, short-spoken man who carries a unique sword known as the "Gunblade. He's a bit of a loner according to Square he has "little sense of comradeship for the people around him" , and he wears a necklace that bears a strange griffon-like symbol the same one that can be seen near the barrel on the Gunblade.
According to character designer Tetsuya Nomura, he wanted the character's name to have the meaning of a passing shower, which is how he came up with the name Squall. His last name, Leonhart, was the name of one of the main characters from an earlier 8-Bit Final Fantasy for the Famicom which never came to the United States.
This isn't the first time Square has brought back names from earlier games in the series Unlike Squall, Laguna is a man of heart. He knows love and respects his duties.
