The build- ing project has suffered numerous setbacks and delays; during the summer break, asbestos was dis- covered in the core, and a lack of plans for the building (due to its age) which lead to workmen cutting water pipes, causing flooding. The lift, the centrepiece of the core redevelopment, is to be deliv- ered by March. The core is now mostly complete, with contractors applying a few fin- ishing touches to the building. A mi- nor drama erupted last week when the sabbs discovered the new doors ordered for the entrance to Union Reception and the Union Dining Hall were about an inch too large and would not close properly. The doors have since been replaced. The opening of the core completes the first phase of the Beit redevel- opment.

  • Square Enix Announces Final Fantasy(R) Xii Release Date for Playstation(R)
    SQUARE ENIX ANNOUNCES FINAL FANTASY® XII RELEASE DATE FOR PLAYSTATION®2 COMPUTER ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM And Showcases The Look of FINAL FANTASY on PLAYSTATION®3 LOS ANGELES, California –May 16, 2005– Square Enix Co., Ltd. (Tokyo, Japan, “Square Enix”) a leading developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software including two of the world’s most popular franchises FINAL FANTASY® and DRAGON QUEST™, today announced that FINAL FANTASY XII will be released on the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system in fiscal year 2005 in Japan and fiscal year 2006 in North America. In addition, plans to bring a FINAL FANTASY title to the PLAYSTATION®3 , Sony Computer Entertainment’s next generation computer entertainment system that is currently in development, are just beyond the horizon. FINAL FANTASY XII is the latest title in the best-selling series. Dynamic rendered movies and high- quality real-time graphics that push the PlayStation 2’s performance to the limit create the spectacular world of Ivalice, the setting for this epic story. Deep characters with distinct personalities convey their emotions through gestures and expressions as well as words. All this and a revolutionary battle system that allows seamless transitions between battle and exploration are just some of the many brand new elements and challenges that are packed into this title. “We are extremely pleased to be able to finally announce the release timing for FINAL FANTASY XII and hope that our fans can wait just a little longer, as the development team is working very hard to complete our latest installment,” said Yoichi Wada, president of Square Enix.

  • CS161: Introduction to Computer Science Homework Assignment 7 Due: Monday 11/4 by 11:59Pm Team Versus Team
    CS161: Introduction to Computer Science Homework Assignment 7 Due: Monday 11/4 by 11:59pm Team versus Team I'm currently playing Final Fantasy XII (a video game). In the game, there are various characters each with their own stats. For example, one of the main characters in the game is called Vaan. Here's a snapshot of Vaan's stats (shown in the red box): At this point in the game, Vaan is at level 47 and he has attack power 150, defense 53, magick resist 50, evade 8, magick evade 0, and so on. As Vaan continues to level up, his stats will increase. Other than Vaan, there are 5 other main characters in the game 1 { each with their own level and stats 2. One action that I find myself doing again and again is splitting the characters up into teams because, al- though there are 6 main characters, only 3 can be active at any one time. In fact, the need to split characters into teams transcends Final Fantasy. I can think of other video games, and other superhero comics/movies, where characters are constantly being split into teams (to fight against one another or to fight with one another). Your assignment this week is to write a program that reads in various character names and stats and then randomly splits the characters into two teams. The user should be able to add characters, display all of the characters added so far, and generate a random team. In fact, this should be in a loop so that the user can generate as many random teams as they want.

  • Exploring Ivalice Through Music: an Examination of Music, Landscape, and Classical Etymology in Final Fantasy XII Marina Gallagh
    Exploring Ivalice Through Music: An Examination of Music, Landscape, and Classical Etymology in Final Fantasy XII Marina Gallagher Music 381 Dr. Gray August 2014 2 Music in video games forges such a strong connection between players and fictional worlds that gamers are willing to purchase official soundtracks and visit concerts dedicated solely to game music, such as Video Games Live and Distant Worlds: The Music of Final Fantasy. Throughout video game history, the role of music in games has grown to such an extent that soundtracks written for symphony orchestra (rather than a single keyboard) are seamlessly integrated with characters and on-screen graphics.1 As Simon Wood notes, “the connection between game music and music for film…[is] a constant trope” for gamers and composers alike; however, this connection is not unfounded, as films and video games both rely on “audience members”/gamers to enter a fictional world, or diegesis.2 Karen Collins notes that music “plays a significant role in the immersive quality of a game” and that, if the music is interrupted or absent, gamers do not feel as physically present within the game world.3 Although she also mentions the contention amongst scholars regarding immersion in video games,4 it would seem that video game music plays a key role in making various areas come alive for gamers. Collins suggests that “symbols and leitmotifs are often used to assist the player in identifying…environments”,5 though orchestration can also assist in creating a sense of a particular place, such as the serene countryside. This paper seeks to examine the connection between the soundtrack of role-playing game Final Fantasy XII and in-game landscapes to identify the ways in which the score suggests divergent landscapes by drawing on earlier techniques in classical and film music traditions.

Vuorovaikutusta käsitellään kahdesta kulmasta: 1) fiktiivisten hahmojen välisen sosiaalisen vuorovaikutuksen ja 2) pelin ja pelaajan välisen pelillisen vuorovaikutuksen kautta. Tutkielmassa pyritään selvittämään näiden kahden vuorovaikutuksen lajin keskinäisiä vaikutuksia kahden erilaisen videopelin hahmodialogissa: vaikuttaako pelillisen vuorovaikutuksen esiintyminen fiktiivisen dialogin sosiaaliseen vuorovaikutukseen ‒ siihen, kuinka hahmot keskenään puhuvat. Tutkielman aineistona käytetään videopelien Dragon Age: Inquisition (DA:I) ja Final Fantasy XII (FFXII) hahmodialogeja, joista on valittu edustava otos. Peleistä ensiksi mainittu edustaa aktiivista dialogia, jossa pelaaja päättää keskustelun kulusta, kun taas jälkimmäinen ilmentää
