After much deliberating and after seeing most of the gameplay movies, I've decided that I want FFXII.  I wasn't sure whether the whole change of battle system, and that silly chest-board thingy would work, but it does seem to have worked.  If this game really deserves 40/40 in Famitsu then obviously it's gotta be a great game.  Alls that I can do now is wait for it to come out :D
