Final Fantasy XII Review and Screenshots

After a long anticipated wait, Square-Enix has finally released its eagerly anticipated role-playing game, Final Fantasy XII. This is the last of its franchise to grace the Sony PlayStation 2 entertainment system, as the company is well in development toward its Final Fantasy XIII series for the next gen PlayStation 3. Since the game's release on October 31, 2006, I have clocked well over 80 hours of gameplay and can state with confidence that this game is everything one would expect from a fantasy game, with stunning CG cinematic cutscenes, interesting characters, a crisp polished script with well executed dialogue, and a new ATB real time battle system that keeps one engaged. The world of Ivalice is overwhelmingly massive and varied. To read my full review, complete with screenshots and a very large downloadable world map, click HERE.
