As you can see, this will be a FFXII post. The Japanese version (see above picture) has been out since March 2006 but even with my 2 months worth of Japanese language lesson, I still can't understand Japanese well enough to play the game. Sad, isn't it. /.\ Anyone who has played the Jap version is welcome to tell me about it. Or laugh in my face cuz I have to wait till August. Whichever that takes your fancy. Anyway, being a 'kiasu' person, I pre-ordered the English version (Which seems to have an uglier cover. Go see for yourself and compare.) and guess what I saw.

Final Fantasy XII Potion Premium Box.

100ml Energy Drink containing Royal Jelly and Herbs and Final Fantasy XII collectors cards. Drinks contains: grape extract, sugar, royal jelly, propolis, camomile, sage, tyme, hysop, marjoram, rosemary, basil, lemon herb (melissa), amino acid, caffeine, vitamin B6, B1, blue no. 1.

Sounds yummy. NOT! But you sure gotta hand it to SquarEnix's marketing team. Whoever that thought of this is either incredibly clever or has way too much time on his hand. There's even a commercial for it. Click HERE. (Taken from Lik Sang.)

Doesn't Ashe reminds you of Yuna from FFX & FFX-2? Especially the choker(circled in red).


And some gameplay pictures courtesy of Lik Sang. Actually, the above three pictures are also taken from Lik Sang.



Speaking of pre-ordering, guess what else I pre-ordered. -grins
