FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/08/fa...-review-score/

Very intersting at how high of a score it got from a magazine like Famitsu who doesnt hand out a score like that much

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Hm interesting.... :) I still believe that Sony should have held it back for the PS3.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Well, it's not Sony's call. And FFIX came out on the PS1 a few months after the PS2 had been released, so it's no different than FFXII coming out now.

This marks two games from director Matsuno to score a perfect 40/40 (Vagrant Story and now FFXII). That guy knows his sh*t.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

As I told Dyne last night, this is the only game I've actually been waiting for. :(

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Can asnyone say GOTY?

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Even if Sony had any say in how Square/Enix releases its games (which it doesn't particularly after the merger), putting FF XII on the PS3 would delay the game until at least November and maybe until next year.

Here's hoping the game does well at any rate. Square/Enix has been hurting financially of late.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Well.... I don't think FF IX sold very well, did it? :confused:

Ok..... well I take back what I said, they shouldn't have delayed it to the PS3, since it's too far off.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

I still can't believe Wind Waker got a perfect score.


I'll try FFXII. Whenever it comes out.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Too bad Vagrant Story was a steaming pile of crap. I get the feeling this is just Famitsu blowing their wad they've been saving up since FFX.

It could be just that good though, so we'll see.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

WHAT THE ****?


Dude, no. NO.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Bah, they choose FFX as #1 for their 100 best games list. Lost all respect for Famitsu.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

I didn't like it and I'm not alone. It was a love-hate.

I tried to like it, honestly. The cinematics were kickass. But the tedious blacksmithing really turned me off.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Japanese like games that look similar to that hence why it was higher scored there because they are used to that kind of style I thought

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

Its not so much the look of the game, but the whole looking for the Triforce peices that should have kept WW from getting a perfect score...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

That was pretty annoying but the game had flawless execution.

I mean, it was no Ocarina of Time, but what is these days.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

On the whole, Vagrant Story is considered fantastic by critics.

Yay, Houston, we got a winner!

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

I didn't find looking for the pieces bad. Got to find other islands that way. Don't see why everyone complains about it. Overall found it more fun than Oot. *shrug*

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

I too, didn't have much issue with collecting the Triforce (then again, I was playing with the GBA linked with Tingle assistance).

I liked both fairly equally. Windwaker was a far superior game in every way, but OoT was the first big cinematic 3D game I ever played so it has that special place in my heart :p

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

TWW had under-Zelda-standards puzzles, boring items and a sometimes very annoying interface (not being able to B-speed through conversations was terrible). The rope comes to mind.... the 2-second animation was just too long.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

If you're going to complain about a 2-second animation being too long...well then...I shall disregard all those funny words before that. :p

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

It's just one of the many annoying things in the game. Opening a chest with a music as if it were the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.... just to get 5 rupees. :rolleyes:

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

When you're a little elf boy trying to rescue your sister from an evil (maybe) double-katana-wielding sorcerer every little bit helps.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

I gotta say, the amount of temples in OoT was the selling point for me over Wind Waker. Wind Waker was a breeze, no joke, I beat it without flinching. Ocarina of Time was hard...I spent so long on the stupid Water Temple.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

this is exactly why gaming discussion in GameTavern died a long time ago...a few comments about Final Fantasy XII, and then a whole lot about Zelda games in a Final Fantasy XII thread.

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

LOL :D

Re: FFXII - Perfect 40 from Famitsu
 

:D
Well, at least we KNOW something about the Zeldas..... ;)
