Final Fantasy XII Preview: Page I

Shortly after Square-enix announced the big information release day for Final Fantasy XII (November 19th), we got a nice preview in Japan's Jump magazine. This was the original scan, and it was our first peak at the new characters...

Not very long after the scan was floating around the net, we had some of the names translated: Van (Vaan) and Ashe.

(Pretty cute there, Ashe. Note the flower that also appeared on Square's into...)

(Interesting male-lead, definitely can see influences from some of the past games)

Although the scan was a bit cluttered, it was quite obvious that the new logo was there...

(The new villain, perhaps..?)

This was our big first peak. Intriguing characters, a compelling game logo, and some previews of in-game screenshots. However, we were all really waiting for November 19th...
