Final Fantasy XII...

[RPGD]

... was recently reviewed in Famitsu.

It got a perfect score; 40/40.

According to 1-up.com, they "praised the graphics, scenario and game system extensively, in particular the freshness that the latest entry has brought to the Final Fantasy series".

This is both sudden and unexpected. I guess all the delays were worth it after all.

Yasumi Matsuno now (technically) has two perfect Famistu scores under his belt, second only to Miyamoto, who has three.

Big fat meh.

Re: Final Fantasy XII...

I think they are obligated to give all FF's top scores.

But I am not interested. The character designs are just too fruity for me.

Vonwert's homophobia aside...

I'm really surprised. Based on the demo I really don't see the gameplay being worth praising.

Hrm...

Re: Final Fantasy XII...

I'm willing to give it a try... but I'm not expecting much. I didn't really like FFX, and I couldn't even stomach X-2.

Re: Final Fantasy XII...

I'm excited. I'm glad to have a new proper Final Fantasy title. I still don't know why they didn't make Final Fantasy XI just Final Fantasy Online.

Re: Final Fantasy XII...

Homophobia? What about aesthetic taste?

And yeah, meh to Famitsu.

I probably won't pick up this game. I think there is something wrong with the male role looking prettier than the female. When I first saw a picture of him I swore he was a chick.

Re: Final Fantasy XII...

Wow. It's reputation here is worse than I thought. And mostly for the same reasons.

Fair enough. I'm curious, though.

Hey, Mora, out of curiosity, is there any type of review or opinion that probably wouldn't yield a "meh" in the case of this game?

I refused to play Ms. Pac-man for the same reason. The last thing we need are chicks and queers gaying up our hobby. I'm-a go play some WWE now. Sweaty pecs and man-sandwiches. God , I'm macho.

Re: Final Fantasy XII...

I personally can't wait...but the only thing I am worried about is the soundtrack...do you think its going to very memorable? Do you know who is doing it?

Hitoshi Sakimoto as composer with Uematsu contributing one track (the main theme, "Kiss Me Good-Bye", performed by Angela Aki) and serving as music producer.

I don't know what to think of Famitsu till I play their as-perfect-as-MGS3 Kingdom Hearts II and that whole Dirge of Cerberus thing.

But they were spot-on with Vagrant Story. And FF12 is from the Vagrant Story people... so... NNGGHHHH. MY EMOTIONS ARE BEING TOYED WITH~~~!!!1111

The music in the demo is very good. Very FFTactics.
