Here's one of the songs

The legendary composer of the Final Fantasy series is revealed to be composing for The Last Story. To many, The Last Story seems to be Sakaguchi's new Final Fantasy and these two working together again just reinforces my decision to buy this game.

If it comes to North America, hell yeah I'm getting it.

If it doesn't come to North America, I'll go make Sakaguchi bring it to North America, and then I'll get it. :P

Well, considering the fact that I am a big fan of FFXIII, I don't know If I'll be getting this game. Sakaguchi hasn't impressed me in his post Square career. Uematsu, on the other hand, never ceases to amaze me. If anything, I will definitely pick up the soundtrack.

If it turns out good and if it's in English, I will consider getting the game. It does look good so far, but I haven't seen that much.

Obviously there is a chance it will be bad and I wont buy it, but from what I see and hear I am loving it (although a tad skeptical about the battle system). I am sure I will buy it, being a big fan of JRPG's.

i really like the stuff nobuo uematsu does, so i can only be happy about him... sakaguchi looks younger and uematsu looks older (much older than i expected, i don't remember ever seeing a picture of him :P) on the pic BTW.

Which one is the nobuo guy and which one is Saka? I can't tell them apart they could be brothers.

They both are SAKAERS (SUCKERS) if they don't bring it to the states.

This is what is said so far about custimization

You change equipment via the game's equip screen. A screenshot of equip screen shows two slots for weapons and two slots for armor (listed as "Protector"). The equip screen also shows your character's status: current level, HP, next level, "TP," and stats for attack, defense, magic attack, magic defense and speed.

Armor, which can be equipped individually to upper and lower areas of your body, comes in various types -- things like "Feather," "Heavy" and "Hunter." Depending on the type, the armor's look and abilities will differ. Armor also has level, which also results in different looks and abilities.

You can customize armor by removing individual parts. This will change just the look of the armor, with no effect to the armor's defensive strength. Screenshots show Elza wearing full fledged Hunter armor, then removing some of the armor's bulkier parts to look more fashionable.

Armor can also be customized with paint. To do this, you'll have to create "paint" using items that you've obtained during your quest (this seems to suggest some sort of item creation system, although no such system has been announced at present). You can then paint your armor in different areas using a variety of different colors. It should be noted that the painting system works at the level of "areas" of armor rather than all the way down to the individual parts level.Shonen Jump and Famitsu

Sounds pretty good. I hope there are different skills and such when you level up and so on. For me customization is pretty big, so I hope it has enough. Baten kaitos is still some of the best I think. FF X had pretty good custozation, but not the best, yet surpisingly the game was outstanding. It was just because the story and feel are so darn good in that game. When did Sakaguchi break away from the team, I forget? He was part of FF X wasnt he?

Sakaguchi worked on Final Fantasy I-X: directed I-V, acted like director for VI & IX, and was producer for VI-X. This will be the first time he directed a game in 18 years, so there are high expectations. He says that he's working on this game like it'll be his last.
