Amidst all the excitement surrounding the looming PS3 and Wii console launches and Gears of War‘s impending Emergence Day release on the Xbox 360, you may have forgotten that there are still a number of huge games left to look out for on the current-gen consoles. And there is none bigger than next week’s long-awaited release of Final Fantasy XII for the PS2- yes, it is finally coming out and it looks downright phenomenal.
In anticipation of its release, Square Enix today released a new trailer and four new videos showing off different elements of the game, and we are here to share them all with you. So kick back, forget about the next-gen consoles for a few moments (if you can), and salivate over this new footage of what could very well be the year’s best game.

Great. Now that I know the story I don’t even need to buy the game.
Ok, not even close. While I’m not a fan of the battle system being so automated yet tricky to setup effectively, this game is still so tantalizing. I have enough faith in Square to know that this title is going to be great, regardless of my apprehension concerning the battle system.
11PM tomorrow just can’t come fast enough!
Man, I can’t wait for this game. My interest had begun to wane throughout much of the early portion of the year with all the hype surrounding the next-gen stuff, but seeing this new footage made me more psyched than ever. I loved how the game played in the demo, and that build was from over a year ago. I have no doubt in my mind that it’ll be a masterpiece. I’ll be grabbing the collector’s edition for sure- the special packaging looks great and the bonus DVD is loaded. PS2 dead? No way!
