Final Fantasy XII

Playstation 3 featured in EDGE magazine FF XII with special MINI Guide
Piggyback's LIMITED EDITION Guide Piggyback's LIMITED EDITION Guide without cover

Sometimes it’s hard to live in Europe, especially when it comes to videogames :cry: I decided to just go buy Final Fantasy XII since I already had to wait a very long time before it finally got released in Europe - almost a year !!! When I bought the game I also received a special mini guide by Piggyback. After I got my hands on their guide for Metal Gear Solid 3 : Snake Eater I just fell in love with this publisher. The guide wasn’t just helpful, but also beautifully designed and a true collector’s item for the fan - yup, ME :saylove: :)

So when I learned Piggyback also published a LIMITED EDITION hardcover guide for FFXII I just had to buy it :( :evil: Yes, the ‘limited edtion’ marketing trick so works with me *sigh* But the hardcover edtion is really beautiful and I’m glad I got my hands on it :P About Final Fantasy merchandise, I still want to get my hands on the Cloudy Wolf Ring of Cloud & Tifa from FFVII Advent Children (?). Kluk kluk kluk kluk ~

:mrgreen: :twinkle: Back to the game - yeahhh~ the game is just really good. I only spend 10 hours playing the game, so there is still so much for me to discover. I plugged my Playstation 2 in our HDTV and showed my dad the intro movie of the game. He loved it and couldn’t believe it was JUST the intro of a game :P Even though me dad didn’t notice much, I saw the quality was a bit off. I guess it looked like you saw Playstation 3 footage on a normal tv… it was OK, but it could be better. When you watch analog tv on a HDTV is looks horrible, so you need digital tv for the best quality - same goes for the video input of the Playstation.

Since I’m also planning on buying a Playstation 3 at the end of the year or at the start of next year I’m planning on buying a 23″ HD Ready LCD TV somewhere around my birthday in June. Some decent Samsung models can be found for € 500,- ! And yeah I already talked to my dad about a possible 50/50 split b-day present :present: I think it’s a good investment before buying a HD console like the Playstation 3. I really need to replace my 15″ combi television BEFORE I buy a next generation console :neutral: :evil: - yes, I’m an electronic gadget geek!
