The folks at 1UP.com and IGN have made available various reviews, screenshots, videos of the Final Fantasy XII demo being released with Dragon Quest VIII today in North America. The demo doesn't reveal much plot of the game but gives gamers complete access to how the battle system plays out. It lets you experience the Active Time Battle and Wait systems, which both give gamers a completely different feel of gaming. It is definitely very different from past Final Fantasies in that you can actually see your other party members running around with you and that you can see mobs in the distance before you engage them in a fight. Check out the links below for full coverage on the first English FF12 Demo to be released.
