The first 40 minutes of FFXII is, like all RPGs, more or less an introduction to the game, and you should know that as the game progresses, more options become available with additional spells/abilities/party members/etc.

And as far as I've heard so far, enemy engagement in FFXIII is the same as FFXII, meaning they appear in the environments, you can choose to engage or not, some are more aggressive than others, and when the battle starts it takes place on the same screen seamlessly. I think FFXII was a great start towards a better battle system, and it looks like they're taking the best parts of that game and of previous titles for this new setup.

Actually, I wouldn't be too sure of that anymore. If the past few years have shown us anything, its that some games do well when releases outside of the holiday season.

GTA IV was released in April.
MGS 4 in June.
Smash Bros in March.
RE 5 is in March this year.

List goes on and on.

Though. I get your point with most games being released in that very crowded two months before the holidays.
