Final Fantasy 12 on PS2

I have part 4 and 5 but havn't played them yet.

I'm kinda excied about a new FF but not as much as I used to be, also I wonder if they will fix Shiva. Shiva is actually supposed to be Male but in FF Shiva has always been a Female summon/gf/aeon though I did like the summon for her in FFX. I hope there is a XB360 version.

Are the GBA games worth getting?

Shiva is male? Way to ruin my FF shiva in bed dream.

[Guest MrFill]

Are you sure Shiva is meant to be male? I thought she was an Ice Goddess in FF.

 

The original diety Shiva is the Hindu God of Destruction (and male), but I think they just used the name for FF.

 

There is no way this is a guy:

Unless guys have boobs, and no Flair jokes please.

[Guest MrFill]

Not to mention an absence of crotch.

 

OK, I know Action Man was smooth down there, but this would be rediculous.

Well have you seen Ace Ventura Mr Fill... Remember the female police cheif?

Played by Sean Young (no, I didn't need to look that up).

 

The old "tuck in". :D

[The Icon 152]

Not that I'm suggesting a FF game would use a tuck in, although come to think about it that would explain a certain character from FF 9.

I was refering to the Hindu god when I said Shiva should be Male, not the FF series version.

[The Icon 152]

Well this explains a lot, no wonder squaresoft (enix) thought it was a female. This is from an official hindu site and is a likeness of Shiva. (At no time does it say male or female just god.)

This game does sound quite cool! I've ordered it already. When about is the release date does anyone know?

[Guest MrFill]

OK - I did mention the Hindu God though. :)

Its down as 24/8, but as you well know with FF, that means subject to change! So i make it November!:devil

[Guest Reality Checked]

Yeah id agree with that :lol Gonna be worth the wait though, no doubt :thumbsup

[The Icon 152]

It will be out in Jan. Jan 25th.

[Guest Rog]

Did you ever stop to think that maybe Square didnt name IceShiva after HinduShiva

[The Icon 152]

I am sure they didn't, particually when Odin and Ifrit are nothing like the real gods by the same names. (Actually Giglamesh from FF VIII is closer to the real Odin than Odin is.)

[Guest MojoPogo]

They didnt name them after them, but they did pick the names because they have gravitas as such. So they're not going to be exact matches per se.

[The Icon 152]

A few of them are exact matches though. In particular Leviathan.
